| MODERN BATH WOULD
CAUSE ENVY AMONG
ROMAN ARISTOCRATSJ
Americans Step From
Sparkling Tubs Which Are
Finest Ever Known.

Times change. but seldom does any
thing change for the better more no
ticeably than bath room equipmCn
and plumbing fixtures.
Many a dead old Roman aristocrat
accustomed to marble and ivory baths
would turn over" in genuine envy
if he could gaze upon the modern
sanitary bath rooms the present gen
Grafton enjoys. The pompous rich
ness and elegance of his bathing
pool would compare in beauty, but
never in practical utility, with the
simplest Of the bath rooms of thi,
city.
Bath rooms, like people, have
changed from generation to genera
ton. But Americans enjoy the great
est improvements made in the neceS-
Sary equipment for bathing. Today
we step refreshed and buOyant from
bathing in 4 shining, china-like tub
of sparkling whitenesS. The older
countries, in the main, are far behind
in this. respect. This, perhaps, ac-
counts for American superiority in
other directions.
While nationally inadequate hous-
ing is gppermost in every ones mind,
it is wei TO call attention TO the I'M
portance of getting proper plumbing
equipment in the new homes as built.
No more important household utility
exists. and no other fixtures in the
home will get more use and abuse.
Starting with the plumbing dealer
who undertakes the contract, it is best
to secure a service that is already rec
ognized for efficient and trouble-proof
workmanship. No plumbing contract
should be let solely because it is to the
lowest bidder. Rather be certain of
quality in the job, and see that the
successful bidder has included that
quality in his estimate.
Plumbing fixtures should be chosen
with thought for the years of use they
will have. Bath tubs, closets, lava
tories, sinks and the smaller appli-
anceS can be purchased in matching
finishes and designs. Most every
home-owner, and especially the wom-
an in the home, may have proper
pride in the bath room. only if it is
equipped with modern fixtures. Mod
ern sanitary fixtures of vitreouS
china. porcelain or enameled iron.
from reliable makers, will not require
endless Scrubbing and securing To
keep clean, white and inviting.
Medical authorities agree that in
homes where there are more than four
occupants, there should be more than
one bath room. Modern fixtures and
construction allow a complete bath
room to be installed in a space as
small as five feet square. Thus, with
ont remodeling the building. an extra
clothes closet. an alcove. or similar
space can be turned To use as an ad
ditional bath room. In such a case
the moderate cost of the job is not to
be eckoned against the added convent
ence and comfort secured

Fiesta Causes Slump.
Twenty building permits issued
Tuesday authorized new construction
in San Antonio TO cost S30.365. Eight
new homes were included in the list.
The largest home building permit was
for $500.
Building activity during the fol-
lowing days of the week slumped
slightly which probably is due TO the
Fiesta festivities. BUT Friday they
gained somewhat when a permit was
takrn out by NJ. Richbook to con-
struct store and apartment house on
West Houston street at a total cost
of $4,000. There were only four
dwellings in this list and several re-
modelling permits so the authorization
of the store and apartment house
tended to keep Fridays list up to the
daily average.
Real estate trading also slumped
slightly during the middle of last week
and gained again at the weekend.
Friday property worth SS5.S2J
changed hands in San Antonio. There
were twenty-five deeds filed in the
public records. Although the number
of deeds filed during that day was
not as large as that of several of the
prior days of the week the value of
property involved in the transfers ag-
cregated total that was exceeded
by any other day of the week.
The largest deal Friday was repre-
scented by deed filed on property that
was valued at S11.500. The ROsen-
