purchase ready-to-wear clothes.
We cannot go extensively into tnls
method in this article, but VIII
give IN outline of it for the sake
of such of our readers as may be
particularly pressed for time IN
the matter of securing a home.
Like the first solution, it was dis
covered on our inspection trip..
The plan calls for houses that
are factory-built, in sections, the
sections fitting accurately and se,
curely when joined in the final
construction. In a purchase OF a
house of this description you would
select the design (there are num-
bers of them), decide on the costs,
which vary. and the house would
then be shipped to you in sections
with the exterior painted in what
ever color you have selected.
When your "house" arrives, it is
I'D to you to have it completed
The only costs that you will have
to bear in this connection will be
the preparation, masonry and ex-
cavating, plumbing, wiring and in
terror decorating. The cost OF
the labor for putting the house
sections together should not be
large.
It is well to use care in the Sc
lection Of the firm such purchases
as this are made from; all the
offerings are not desirable; but
there are a number of absolutely
reliable manufacturers, and we
can say from personal observation
that their products, when properly
located and sectionized, are as
strong and durable as dwellings,
constructed in the ordinary way.

Painting and Decorating.

The Edward w. Minte Co, Inc,
successors to MackayMinte Co,
1918 18th Street northwest, have
the contract for the painting of the
American Ice Plant and have just
finished the Hadley Apartments
within the record time Of six weeks.
They have also completed work
on the Phillis Wheatley Club of the
Y. w. c. A.. at 9th and r. I. Ave,
the Masonic Temple at Brightwood,
the Chastleton apartment at 9th
and r, the Swift & Co. plant at 1st

William r. Fowler Co. Bank build
ing at Virginia Ave. and l. st. and
tho Major General Commandant's

This Arm does considerable work
outside of the city and have com
pleted work at the Naval Base at
Norfolk, the Pattern Shop and the
Marine Barracks at the Norfolk
Navy Yard, and the Cellulose Plant
at Cumberland. Md.
In an interview. Mr.. Edward w.

that n slight decline in the price OF

kitchen, bath room and porch. BY
consulting the floor plan, it will be
noticed that the hall is at the side,
in back Of the bathroom, and con-
Meeting with the bedroom, bath
room and dining room. The en-
trance to the house is on the side,
the idea being to keep the porch
private, in accord with the grow
inc taste for having porches as
part of the living rooms.
The size Of the bungalow is 19x
1926 feet, small enough, that is,
for it to be erected on a single lot.
1t is SO designed that, as the own
er's income increases, additions
can be made in the form of two
large bedrooms, with 8-foot head
room in the attic, porch extern

Woman's Part in the Work Of
the Mortician.

The employment of women ms
members OF the staff in any bust
ness or profession which gives per-
sonal service to men and women
alike, Immediately marks a firm or.
individual as progressive. 1t indi-
Gates a complete, well-roundcd or
ganization. 1t is conclusive proof
of a growing ideal of service: 1t
woman's point of view. 1t brings
with II a guarantee of more perfect
attention to the little things, a bet
ter understanding of the fiTer points
In meeting human needs. 1t re-cn-
forces every influence making for
neatness, cleanliness, order, refine
ment. 1t adds to the heart element
in the service given. II is a signpost
pointing toward quality Of service
and not merely volume.
This is particularly true in the
case of the mortician. At any time
of trouble there Is an instructive
desire for the sympathetic help Of
q mother, a sister or a wife. If the
difficulty is one requiring expert
assistance as in cases of serious ILL
ness. with what relief and satisfac-
ton We call upon the trained nurse.
Has IL not been one of the peculiar
ly distressing things attendant upon
death especially of mother, a sis
ter, wife or child In any of our
homes that this has generally meant
that in violence to our instructive
wishes, and in the face of a tradi-
tion which amounts almost to race
consciousness we have had TO call
upon a man rather than a woman
because until comparatively recent
ly only men were trained to care
for the dead?

family has to be called i'm at such a

BY WILLIAM ARMSTRONG.
(krom the Magazine OF Wall street, ,
THE housing problem has be-
come so acute throughout the
country, and the cry for help
in the task of determining ways
and means of building homes with
in a reasonable cost so insis.ent,
that this department of the Maga-
zine stepped on the gas SO TO
speak. and set out on a tour OF
inquiry and discovery. We were
after practical ideas and obtained
considerable information.
The Washington times., 1920-10-27

The utilization of all the space
makes the building not only eco
nomical but convenient and easy to
take care of, and the layout gives
large rooms with convenient
means Of entrance and exit. The
compact arrangement would seem
to eliminate any waste motion.
1t Is frame bungalow, but con-
tains all modern improvements
and taking its size. the material
and the improvements, it is diff
cult to understand how such a
building can be constructed for
the price. But the builder says it
can. Apparently, he is in posses
sion of some trade secrets about
getting the material; but having
seen some of the samples of his
work, we can testify that his

house.
The particular purpose of the
tour was to secure information
about the building Of what might
be termed an inexpensive"
home-that is. a home without
any frills, and yet modern, COM
Portable, sanitary and attractive.
One of the results of the investi-
cation was the discovery of a
$500 bungalow. That certainly
sounds appealing, particularly
since the price includes everything
but the cost of the lot.
The lot in this case would cost
considerably less than the one
needed for the $4,000 home. 1t
need only be a single lot 25x10O
feet, although two lots would be
preferable and the cost might be
anywhere from s25 up. The bun
galow could be constructed in any
section and be a credit, consider
ing its size, to any locality.
As to the method of financing
the Transaction, the search and in
cidentals, they would be about the
same as in the case of the $4,000
home; but the cost of a mortgage
would be less, to correspond with
the smaller amount borrowed, as
would the cost of interest charges,
taxes, etc.
A $500 bungalow! In these
days of high-priced everything,
this sounds SO tempting it bears
repeating. What is more, this
bungalow could be erected in any
section of the country at about
the same figure, and in the in
terror of the United States the
cost might even be scaled down a
trifle.
The builder from whom we OBJ
tanned information about this par
ticular bungalow drew up a spe-
cial plan for the Magazine, which
shows a house of four rooms; liv-
ing room, dining room, bedroom,

HARTFORD BOXING
 BOARD TURNS DOWN .~ PALITz-BOGAsH GO
Commissioners Fear Some Blood Would Be Spilled If Two Welters Faced
 Each Other.

Because the Hartford boxing com mission refused to permit it to stage a 12-round bout between Dave Palitz of Hartford and Louis Bogash of Bridgeport as the final of it's proposed card, the Olympic A. c. of Hartford has decided not to take advantage of the permit granted it fhy the commis- sion, aLd will not put on any bout this month.
 The action of the commission practi- cally bars Dave Palitz from appearing in Hartford ring again as a finalist, and, in the opinion of many fans, is not fair either to the boy, who is one of the gamest and most satisfactory boxers Hartford city has ever pro- duced, or to Louis BosnSh, a clever, rugged welterweight.
 The commission discussed the pro- posed fbou, for an hour at it's meeting with Alderman William Raphael and Wing Murphy opposing it, and Dick Dalton and John M. Greene, both members of the old commission, in favor. Raphael objected to the bout because, he said, there might be some blood spilled, as was the case when the boys met in Bridgeport. When the vote was taken Alderman Coe E. Hawkins, chairman of the commis- sion, voted with Raphael, and Murphy and M. w. Delaney, treasurer of the Olympic Atheltic club, said that he would not make use of the permit.

REFERENCE TO GOVERNORS IS
 STRICKEN OUT

Chicago, June 12.---On the ground that it was a reflection on Gov. Ho1- comb of Connecticut and other Re publican governors the proposed suf- frage plank will not go into the plat form. F s:
 It was due to determined effort made in the subcommittee on reSo- lutions by Louis A. Coolidge of Mas sachusetts. at the request of a com mittee of Connecticut delegates, that the committee removed from N their proposed suffrage plank a statement urging Republican governors whose states have not yet acted upon the suffrage amendment to iTnm mediately call special sessions of their legisla- SuIHJpeI 10 9sodLnd 9ql IoJ seLnl said amendment"
 Upon examination of an advance draft of the platform, several mem bers of the Connecticut delega ton took exceptions to the clause quoted on the ground that it was a reflection on Gov. Hobconfb of Connecticut and Gov. Clement of Vermont for uphold ing the constitutions of their respec- tive states. They went to MT. Cool idge during the recess and he agreed as matter of interstate courtesy to work in the committee for the elin- ination of the objectionable clause which was later accomplished by close vote, with the result that the platform reported to the convention and adopted makes no reference to the governors, but merely expresses an earnest hope" that Republican legss- latures which have not yet ratified suffrage will do so in time for the en- franchisement of the women for the presidential election.
