MACMILLAN WILL
 HOP DEE 0N WE'D.
Starts for WisCaSset-- t--Reliei
 Plans Still Uncertain k

Boston. June 18 Rl-Captain Don-' aid E. MacAiillan, who will hop of tomorrow on the first leg of his ninth trip Into the Arctic. was in- vited today to be guest of Honor at a farewell luncheon given by the Boston City club where the explorer makes hisshome while in this city. At noon tomorrow he will get away from the Charlestown navy yard in one of the three smphibian planes to be used on the Polar trip. His destination will be Wiscasset, whence the entire expedition will make its start for the north on Saturday.
 Relief Planes Doubtful
 As Commander MacMilian prepsr- ed to set out for the Arctic there appeared to be some doubt as to the bearing the search for ..Raold Amundsen, missing Norwegian ex- plorer,- will have on the American expedition. While MacMillan indi- cated at farewell luncheon yester- day that the objective of his expe- dition would be dependent on the fate of Amundsen, Secretary Wilbur of the navy department, said in Washington that any effort by the naval planes in MacMillan's exp8di- tion to find Amundsen would be made only by order of the navy after the expedition reached Etah. Secretary Wilbur said he regarded 1t as folly to seek Amundsen without some data as to his probable where abouts.
 Will Hunt Amundsen
 MacMillan said that if Amundsen had not been found by the time the expedition reached Etah about Aug uts 1, all his plans would be subor- dinated to locating him. If Amund- sen had then been found, MacMiilan said, he would carry out his plans of exploring vast areas which Peary described after discovering the North Pole. %.s

DIRT HOUSE MAY
PROVE new
VOGUE
James A. DuIaney Experiments
With Type Of Structure on
Seminary Road

A house OF dfrt. without rein
forcement Of any, kind, represents
the fulfilled dream Of James A.
Dulaney. The unique dwelling.
awaiting now only the finishing
is the object OF consider
able attention out on Seminary
road. about five miles from Alex
andria.
Four months have been taken
up with the construction of the
house, which Mr.. Dulaney offers
as proof of the practicability of
his claims that he can use merely
the dirt of the cellar excavation.
plus some moisture, to erect a
substantial, attractive home.
Dulaney declares that the dirt
walls needs only a covering suf-
ficient to protect them from the
weather to give the place per-
manence that will compare favor
ably with building OF any substance
now used. At the completion Of
the structure, it will have cover
ing of not over one.quarter inch
in thickness Of cement veneer. The
interiors will be lined in different
materials, in order to test out the
most suitable Of wall covering. One
room is to be papered. another
painted, third calcimined, and a
fourth whitewashed.
Done In Mission Style
The specifications of the house
include a twelve-inch foundation Of
cement, extending about three feet
above the ground level. This is
ing, up to q height of several feet.
STYLE architecture, and in principle
throughout it is not unlike the
adobe structures Of Spanish-Indian
construction in old Mexico. It con-
tains five rooms and bath and a
full basement. When complete, it
will be equipped with a hOt-air Turn
ace and one crate.
It is claimed that the construc-
ton cost will be one-third less than
If would have been with the use
of any other known building sub
stance at present building material
and labor prices. Three men have
been employed on the house.
The walls are made by ramming
moistened dirt into forms, set by
sections, and the edifice has now
firm appearing slabs of solid dirt
for it's exterior and partitions. The
dirt has been used just as it came
out of the cellar excavation, and
being full of grit, it offers a Saod
surface for the cement veneer which

House Built i'm 1874
Dulaney gained confidence in his
nlan bv the example furnished by
a large dwelling at Rhode Island
avenue and Thirteenth streets
northeast. A fine looking house
there. claimed to have been erected
in 1774, has walls made or nothing
more than dirt, and they appear
today to be remarkably well pre-.
served. This latter house, owned
by Felix Lake, has covering OF
pebble.dash, but in the cellar the
walls show just the same as the
new dirt walls of Dulaneys house.
Another house at Cabin John

Dulaney prior to his building. The
Two examples furnished Dulaney
with several fundamentals. but
many of the problems of joining
and designing were left for his own
ingenuity.
