THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE
BY CHARLES =. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Dec. l3.-This will
not be the last ELAINE duck" session
OF an American Congress. 1t takes
too long to amend the Constitution
for that.
The end of ELAINE duck-ism' is in
sight, however.
The Senate already has passed the
resolution for vote of the states
to that end. The House has yet to
act on it, but it probably will do so,
ard favorably, before next March A..
Then it will be up to the state legis-
latures to decide. All indications
are, when they do, that it will be
thumbs down. for 'lame ducks"
The theory is, at an election the
people decide whether they are
suited with the Congress they have
got, or not.
Vote Their Choices
If they are suited, presumably
they re-elect most of the old repre-
sentatives and senators. If not
suited. presumably they retire the
ones they don t like and elect others
in their places.
The election is held in November
but, unless there is an extra session,

our progress toward an enlarged

the outstanding needs Of the school

the supervisory and administrative

1T Is unfortunate that too few

From the perspective drawn by A
chitect Novel; Buckingham, Of Wash
ington, ID. c., one would suppose this
to be a rather large house. How
ever this is somewhat of an optical
illusion, because of the L-shaped con-
struction, and the consequent spread
ing out, when drawn in perspective.
Its size really does not exceed that
of an average five room house,
though it has been made to fit in
admirably in the general planning,
SO that one gets large value for the
money layout.
The house has been designed to be
built on a forty foot lot, one hundred
feet or more in depth. This would
leave plenty Of space on either side
for O garage drive to the rear, if this
is contemplated, as the house proper
| IL only twenty seven feet wide. Stucco
houses of this type can be built on
masonry walls Of clay tile, concrete
block or tile, or back plastered metal
lath, or metal lath over sheathing.
Any one of these types of wall con-
struction is suitable, aud has been
recognized in the department of COM
merce small dwelling house code, which
has been issued recently. This book
let has been developed under the
guidance of Secretary Hoover, and
which every intending home owner
should have.
The main entry, built into the angle
OF the house, is protected in Indictment
weather. The architect has made the
most of the interesting effects that arc
possible in the contour Of the building.
Upon entering, there is q coat closet.
with latticed window to light it. 1t
is one ste pup from there to the hall
connecting the living room, dining
room and kitchen. The living room IS
placed to face the street and has n
large triple window, with decorative
flower box extending its full length, as
shown in the picture.
Directly opposite the window is n
brick fireplace, thanked by doors, one
opening into the hall already men,
toned and the other making an entry
into the dining room. There are two
French doors leading from the living
room on to columned side porch.
which might be inclosed to make a
sun parlor for year around use. There
are four doors leading out of the din
ing room; one to the hallway, one 70
the kitchen, one to the living room,
and one to the rear porch. This in
