When a Bungalow
Isn't a Bungalow
This Beautiful Residence
Has a Second Story.

bungalow. strictly speaking. is a
house on only one floor. with a porch
all the way round, or a least a wide
oVerhang. 1t is the type of house
much in use in India, and in that
land it never has second story. In
America, however, we use the word
rather promiscuously
rms little house, shown of brick
construction, is complete on the first
moor. The layout of rooms, therefore.
is in accordance with the meaning of
the term bungalow: but because the
roof has been raised and Il small sec
ond story group of rooms added. il is

galow. The house can remain ex-
actly as indicated. or the second floor
could be left open as one large room
10 be used As storage place or q
studio. 1t would be possible to leave
the second'fioor unfinished for a few
years, II the expense were to be too
great to complete it the first wear.
Though. of course, the house would
be more salable by there being pos
sibtlity of ausmenting the down
stairs space by the finished rooms
upstairs-and STABILITY, as well as
INABILITY, should be considered al
ways in the house building.
This house is shown in brick. but
we nave seen it built of field stone
and 1t is very attractive in that mate

lovely tones possible to obtain in tha t
material. would be splendid for it and
the bits of wood on the porch and
ratings and windows and even the
shingles could be stained a harmon

foot frontage. This would give room
for driveway and the gardens could
be in the rear, back of the kitchen or
placed in the angle made by the bed
rooms and the sunroom.
The kitchen has been studied care
fully and is complete in every detail
just as efficiency demands for ease of
work and convenience in every way.
The pantry is between the kitchen
and the dining room so much of the
preparation and the serving of foods
may be done from here.

South, which would give light and

CAPITAL TENTH ON LIST
IN BUILDING OPERATIONS

lures for First Nine Months of Year
Is Less Than 1923.

With total authorized expenditure
or $34,107,446, the National Capital
| stood tenth among the cities of the
country in building activities for the
hrst nine months of the year, accord
ing to survey made recently by S.
w. Straus & Co. While this is about
$5,5O0,000 behind the similar period
for 1923. the beginning of the present
fiscal year in the District shows a
large increase in the construction
activities.
The office of the building inspector
keeps its records from July ] until
! June 80. The 1924 period showed
not much of a falling off in the ac-
tual number of projects tundertaken.
Inc present fiscal year is well in ad-
vance
Building activities throughout the
country during the first nine months
were per cent ahead of the CORE
spending period in 1929. according to
the survey. For September the gain
over the same month last year in
building permits and plans filed in
the 305 leading cities and towns of
the country covered by the survey
was per cent.
Gains in Two Sections
The total for the nine months per
iod was $2.733.000,o00, compared with
S='56e. 100000 last year. The Eastern
and Southern sections showed credit
able gains. while the Central and Far
western states revealed slight losses.
. Among the large cities, New York
made an outstanding record during
the three-quarters of the year, the
total in plans filed for the period
being 1851, 900. compared with

Having as one of it's primary aims
the elevation of the real estate busi-
ness to professional plane, it there
fore is performing a service that di-
rectly affects the public and one in
which the public has very direct in
tereSt
Formed about ten years ago as the
Real Estate Brokers' Association, the
organization gradually extended its
activities until four years ago. when
1t established permanent offices with
an executive secretary and clerical
staff devoting their entire time to
the work. At this time the name was
changed to the Washington Real Es-
tate Board. This title is used by
practically all of the constituent
member boards affiliated with the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards, of which the local organiza-
tion is a part.
Makes for Cooperation.
Membership in the board provided
means to bring the real estate brok-
ers of the city together for COM
mon purpose. and through the devel-
opment of the organization there has
grown a feeling of mutual respect
and confidence between members. Co.
operation in the exchange of ideas
and experience materially aided the
pooio III SStdpllSnlHS certain stand
ards in practice that have resulted in
more uniform and efficient methods
in the conduct of the real estate busi-
ness.
A study of the various services that
a real estate broker is called on
TO render reveals certain funda-
mental principles which are univer-
sal and an analysis of these priIi-
clpleS made it comparatively easy
definitely to define the proper course
to pursue in given transactions. From
this there were evolved specific rules
which have been gathered into a code
of ethics. This code is quite broad
in scope and is sufficient to meet
the situations that arise in the or
binary. practice of real estate. 1t
serves to guide a broker in his deal
ings with other brokers. and very
clearly defines the responsibility of
broker to his clients and the public.
The higher objectives OF a large
group of real estate brokers are CEN
tered in the Washington Real Estate
Board. 1t is there that these men
actuated by desire to improve real
estate service concentrate their ef-
forts to develop the best ideas, in

Economy is something that all home
builders should practice. But first
there must be a clear understanding
of the word. Economy does not al
ways mean using the cheapest things
For instance, cheap plumbing is the
worst possible investment. 1t is bet
ter to go without some things and
put what money one has into good
materials. There is. great loss
through constantly repairing if the
building is not well done in the first
place. In addition to the economy of
good plumbing, heating apparatus.
woodwork and finish, there are the
important matters of the health and
comfort of the family. Good plumb
ing is essential to the health of the
body. and beauty is essential to the
development of character. Bad color
is a detriment to growth. and bad
lighting is injurious to the eyesight.

tance to build properly as one pro-
