USES A|RPLANE
To SHOOT"
LAND
Lee Heights Development Is
Among First to Be Photo
graphed From Air.

Modern business is finding many
uses for the airplane aside from its
first use for rapid transportation.
It is proving especially valuable
In making aerial surveys and in
taking photographs showing real
estate developments hundreds Of
acres in extent.
Ruby Lee Minar, Washington
real estate woman, is one of the first
to employ airplane pictures ex'
tensively in her work. Recently
she engaged the Fairchild Aerial
Camera Corporation, OF New York,
to make a series of aerial photo
graphs in Arlington county, Vir-
ginia.
The purpose Of the photographs
n to furnish a graphic picture OF
property to be sold and to give
an accurate idea of its location In
resrect to the center OF the city
and OF its accessibility and trans
portation facilities. They will take
the place of the customary artists
sketches and bird's-eye views, which
are not always faithful to detail.
One Of the pictures which Mrs.
Minar is using in her advertising
was taken fro man altitude Of several
thousand feet over Lee Heights
looking toward the city. The
western limits Of the property are
shown. the Lee Highway leading
down to the new Key bridge and
into ID street, the Chain bridge
road passing the Washington Golf
and Country Club, and the entire
expanse Of the subdivision stretch
ing nearly two miles eastward to.
the Potomac river.
Lee Heights, which overlooks
Washington from q superior eleva.
ton of 400 feet, contains approd-
mately 400 acres. It Is made up Of
a half dozen large and small tracts
formerly belonging to different
owners and now consolidated under
one control for the purposes Of de-
velopment. One piece OF 100 acres
was the property Of DR.. Presley NJ.
Rixey, rear admiral, retired, and
partly surrounds the site on which
his beautiful home stands, adjoin-
ing the Country Club grounds at
one point. Another tract Of eighty.
eight acres was owned by the late
Joseph Taber Johnson, widely
known as q surgeon a quarter Of
century ago. The Annie M. Wun-
der estate facing on the Lee High
way, also forms part OF the
subdivision. together with several
smaller parcels.
The property Is being developed
along modern lines by Mrs. Minar.

Model ALREADY Cut
House Display
Attracts

The present campaign Of the
national Chamber Of Commerce
and various Government bu-
reaus urging a continuation Of
home building through the fall
and winter, calls attention to
the "already-cut" house, which,
by the way, is not a shack or a
small portable cottage or gar
age, but has been developed
into a substantial building.
There are more than 200 of
these "ready-cut" houses in
Washington. They differ from
others only in the additional
amount of work done at the
mills and factories before de-
livery. This work eliminates
considerable cutting and fitting
on the job, which means less
delay and consequent expense.
The "ready-cut" method
brings the timber to the build
ing site not only cut to the
proper lengths, but also to the
proper angles and properly cut
to fit Pieces are numbered 20
indicate their position.
In short, the ready-cutting
idea is simply applying to resi-
dence construction the same
principles as are used by all
architects and contractors for
the planning and construction
Of modern skyscrapers, where
the steel is all fabricated and
fitted before it comes to the
job.
One Of the centers Of attrac-
tion for the prospective home
builders nowadays, is the local
