Many home builders object to house
designs that are unusual. They say.
and usually are correct. that unusual
houses are excellent as homes. but
are not good investments. If it
should he necessary to sell the pos
sible buyers are fewer for the reason
that an odd house will not appeal
To so many persons.
However, 1t Is possible to give dis
tinction to a standard type of house,
especially the bungalow. Architects
take practically the same interior ar
rangement and by using different roof
lines. designing unusual windows. and
by giving the porch roof a distinctive
treatment effect changes that take
the home oHt of the ordinary class
and put it into Il distinctive class.
An excellent example of this branch
of the architects art is shown in the

ed by shipping problems, Chairman
Benson asserted, recalling the work
done by the American merchant ma

vision of Edward N. Hurley, who as
chairman of the board after the,arm-

ing program.
"My predecessor, John Barton
Payne, had a heavy responsibility
placed upon him when ne stepped
into theoffice made vacant through

Benson continued. Thousands Of
claims amounting to millions of dol

pressing matters that came before
