COVERS FOR RADIATORS
ADD TO HOME BEAUTY
Decorators Devise Ingenious and
Practical Methods to Conceal
Heating Apparatus.

Builders and decorators these days
are exercising great ingenuity In con-
cealing the radiator. There are sew
eral ways of doing it. Portable coy
ers are available that fit over the
radiator. There are three-sided af-
fairs with top shaped Hike the
radiator itself The back Is entirely
open so that the cover easily slides
over, the whole thing, and may be
taken off easily for cleaning.
These portable radiator cosers are
really like furniture, and may be
nut or white and tinted enamel.
In addition to protecting the
walls. these covers provide places for
books, statuary or flowers. and con-
tribute another decorative touch to
the intimacy and personality of the
home.
Radiators are ordinarily seen under
the window and in this location a
window seat is effective to keep II
out of sight. DETECTING lining should
be used to direct the heat into the
room and not let 1t go unguded up
the window seat.
Instead of the window seat it is
also satisfactory to have taller ar
rangement which mounts to a wide
window sill that forms shelf on
which flowers or other things may be
placed.
Whenever the radiator covered is
flush with a wall or window seat. so
that the air cannot be emitted from
grill at the top, a curved lining OF
tin or asbestos will lead 1t out
through the front. The matter of
circulation of the heated air cannot
be overstated. If the heat Is closeted

Many Ne1U Factors Haze Vital
Bearing on 1924 Construction
Professional Investors Find Numerous
Elements to Discount; Early Man

Professional building investors find
entirely new factors to discount in
weighing the yield value of 1924 con-
struction projects so far in advance
of next years season, says the Dow
Service.
These factors are numerous. Labor
deficiency. the most disturbing factor

revision, introduction of new mate
rials, like synthetic brick and the in
iuence of foreign material upon
prices and upon building construction
methods.
Investors have become impressed
with the fact that the early man in
the 1924 construction market Will be
the best served, not only from a
construction point of view, but from
a monetary standpoint.

SMALL HOUSE GROWING
RAPIDLY IN POPULARITY
Privacy and Elimination of Serv-
ant Problem Lure Many From I
Apartments.

The small house. whether six or
eight room two-story affair or q
three-room bungalow. will continue
to grow in favor-it has so many good
points. If it is small and inexpensive
enough 1t gives an opportunity for
the apartment dweller to have the
privilege of real home. not merely a
place to eat, sleep and listen to the
neighbor's phonograph. Costing less
than larger house makes it possible
for any one with the home-creating
sands or credit for monthly payments
to become a property owner.
1t is worth reminding the modest
builder, who perhaps feels trifle
apologetic among more pretentious
neighbors, that clever planning will
enable him to design a little house
that can be enlarged as circumstances
permit. The quaint charm of many
English dwellings is often attributed
to the picturesque additions that have
been made TO them from time to time.
Wings pushed out on one or several
sides of the main building. perhaps at
an angle, are but u suggestion of
what can be done when more rooms
are needed.
The little house may even eliminate
that modern tyrant the servant, for
with electrical appliances daily be-
coming more practical, it is quite
possible for the home maker to run
the domestic machinery herself and
yet have time left for other duties
and pleasures.
A narrow house looks much smaller
than one with the width of the house
set to the street, and this must be
taken into consideration in planning.
The effect of size is achieved often by
merely spreading the rooms out
widthways, or by adding porches,
pergolas or trellises.

COLORlNG OF STUCCO
ENHANCES ITS USE

The fact that stucco can be given
any desired color adds greatly to its use
as an architectural material. The pro-
duction of a pure white Portland ce-
ment was the first step that made pos
sfble the light and delicate tints. Not
only can stucco be made almost any
desired color, but 1t can also be tinted
or painted with metallic paint. Mortor
colors come in red, black. buff, brown
chocolate and olive green, and are ef-
fective with brick work.
The coloring of rough cast stucco
presents few difficulties, it seems, and
adds much to it's effectiveness. The
color lends a rich warmth that ordinary
gray stucco does not possess. In
smooth finished stucco the color follows
the trowel or float, giving a surface Of
somewhat irregular or inottled appear
ance. To many this irregularity and
variation increases the interest of the
finished wall.

Special Dispatch to The Star. -,
WELLESLEY MILLS, Mass. October
27-The steel industry gives us both a
barometer and a thermometer of
business. a~r s.-s
Steel prices tend to follow general
business-to act as a thermometer in
measuring roughly prosperity or de-
preston. During the early months
of this year business was active and
the price of steel billets advanced so
per cent from January to April. 1t
was evident that the improvement
had been overdone and business took
to caution and conservatism-a con-
dition still prevalent.
Sees Prices Going Lower.
Iron and steel prices very natu-
rally followed. For the past six
months production has dropped and
Despite, the readjustment to date. I
do not feel that steel prices or pro-
duction have reached the low point.
1t should be borne in mind that dur
ing the war period our producing
capacity was greatly stimulated. The
actual output of steel in 1913 was about
$1,000 0AQ tons, with a producing capac-
ity of probably 35.000000. So far this
year, the steel industry has operated on
annually, rate materially over the
actual output of recent years. AS
matter of fact, the abnormal stimu-
laion in steel output started in
In 1929 total output jumped Is per
cent over the previous year. while
production during the first nine
months of this year stands over 60
per cent above the same period of
last year. However, the main point
is. If this country were called upon
We could produce steel at between
56.o0O,000 and 5S.000,000 tons annu-
ally. Even today, at the current rate
of 40,000,0o0 tons. we are producing
more steel than we can consume and
export Nor should We lose sight of
the fact that our European neigh
capacity to cope with abnormal war
needs.
Drop in Unified Tonnage.
The underlying situation is well
defined by untitled tonnage-th
climbed with little interruption to
7.403. 900 tons in March of this year.
Today, six months later, unified ton
mage has dropped to approximately
in the Babson chart has dropped to 10
per cent below normal. My main
thought is that although no radical de-
parture from the present price level Is
Indicated, a survey of actual conditions
shows that the weight is certainly on
the bear side. as it is, in most lines
today.
On the financial side we find fur
ther evidence of this slowing up in
the amount of recent refinancing
which has been undertaken by some
of the newer companies. During pc
rfods of record breaking business
new financing, it Is true, may be re-
quired by the old conservative manu-
facturers for justiiable expansion as
well as the new ones. 1t is char
acterstic sign of the beginning of
sharp competitive period, however.
when many new offerings of funded
debt with specially attractive prom
ises appear in connection with cor
porate names that are new to invest
ment lists.
Restraint Now Evident.
The absence of any new financing
on the part of older concerns at such
periods always is noticeable. 1t is
the time when the more experienced
management is conserving resources,

gram. 1t is planned forthwith TO budget

for government building programs.
but there were still greater appro-
priations set aside a year or more
ago, when. because Of lack OF labor
and dearth of materials, many jobs
were deferred. Forthcoming activ-
tiles of hitherto deferred federal
building programs may be expected
to be financed from these funds.
Building material production prob
ably was pushed as near to manufac-
turers' capacity this year as 1t has
ever been. Cement manufacture in
September, for example. eclipsed all
previous records for any previous
month. The total was 100000 bar
rels. The nine-tenths production OF
this single building material was
101. 100000 barrels greater than for
any entire years production prior to
1922.
There is nothing ahead. as far az
building financing interests can see,
that will interfere next year with the
free flow of building funds Cam
paign fervor may warp ii somewhat
as the 1924 autumn approaches, but
by that time the financing for next
year will have been practically COM
pleted.

Signs of this stage of business have

which have consistently turned sur

Success In Investment Buying.

must weigh the outlook with the un.

they accept as stock ckholders-that Of

Success lies in buying when business

WINTER Building
ACTIVITIES URGED
Advantage in Early Beginning
Pointed Out by Construc-
ton Council.

To avoid possible building crisis
the American Construction Council Is
urging that construction projects be
begun as far as possible at an early
date to derive the advantage of the
usual slackening of demand for ma
terials and labor during the winter.
I'm the spring of this year the
council advised the public of the de-
STABILITY of curtailing construction
work so that it's volume would not be
so great that the labor and material
available could not possibly carry
through" says the council. Had the
larger volume been undertaken 1t
would have resulted in raising the
cost Of construction to prohibitive
prices, which would have caused
break such as occurred in 1920. This
happily has been averted. The result
of this advice, together with the CO.
operation of others. was that a large
volume Of construction work then un-
der contemplation was not under
taken and the prices of construction
did not rise to the breaking point.
Longer Working Year.
Having in mind the great desir-
ability for a longer working year in
the construction industry, the bene-
fits of which would accrue to the
public, the contractors, the manufac-
turers, the transportation companies
and the various trades which would
be helpful in reducing the seasonal
peaks of construction activities, wf.ch
are conducive to increased costs, and,
further recognizing the general ten
dency at this time of the year to de-
fer building projects until spring, tne
American Construction Council suggests
that cognizance be taken OF the fol-
lowing:
Maintenance, alterations and re-
pairs Of existing structures, through
long custom rather than through any
reason, are carried on during that
portion OF the year when new con-
struction is most active. 1t will De
in the interest OF all concerned to
do such maintenance work as Is pos
sible during the closed season, and
now Is the time for owners ana man
ayers to give this full consideration
Miscellaneous Construction.
miscellaneous new construction
that should not take more than four
to five months to complete can ordl-
narily be taken on in the fall and
carried under more advantageous
conditions, which Will result in salts
faction all around. at the same time
giving continuous employment to
workers who might otherwise be
idle.
There appears to. be a continuing
demand for construction of large
projects. 1t is perhaps too early to
predict that this will result in an
abnormal demand for labor and ma
terials next spring. Yet there seems
TO be such. trend. Therefore, until
tho season Is more advanced and this
can be determined more definitely,
the situation in many localities sug-
gests caution. as indicated in the re-
port of the American Construction
Council of last spring. However,
such necessary construction as has
to be done should be arranged for
now and the preliminary work un-
dertaken at an early date. so as to
gain the advantage Of fall favorable
periods for progress between inter-
mittent Interruptions caused by in
clement conditions and, in addition.
relieve as much as possible the con-
gestion that may come in the spring.
