DISTRICT ZONING DECISION
PLEASES BALTIMORE MEN

BALTIMORE, July 11.-Much
satisfaction is expressed by members
of the Board of Zoning Appeals and
members of the Baltimore Realty
Board at the decision of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia in
upholding the Washington zoning
law.
1t was pointed out that the deci-
sion may be used as a precedent here
in cases involving the constitution
ality of Baltimore's Zoning ordinance.
The provisions of the zoning ordi-
nance under which Baltimore at
present is regulating the use of land
and buildings are similar TO the pro-
visions of the Washington law.
The ordinance, which was passed
February 9. prohibits buildings
which would create hazards from
fire or disease or would in any way
menance the public welfare, security,
health or morals of a community.
The validity of this ordinance was
upheld June by Judge Duke Bond
in the City Court. when he dismissed
a petition asking a mandamus against
the city TO force the building inspec-
tor TO issue permit for stable for
80 horses in a residential neighbor-
hood. The permit originally had been
refused on the ground that the
sta bles would be a fire hazard and
would menace the public health and
welfare. The case was not appealed.

June was another month of enor-
nous building volume, according to
the +. w. Dodge Corporation. Con
tracts awarded last month in the SO
Eastern States. which include about
seven-eighths of the total construction
volume of the country, amounted TO
$40, 500 500. This was only $1,000 900
less than the highest record figure,
which was reached last April. The in
crease over May was per cent; over
June of last year, nearly 40 per cent
II is rather unusual for the June build
ing volume TO exceed that of May
Each month of the past quarter has
had larger building total than that of
any month previous TO April. The
! frst quarter of 1925 increased $44-
600 900 over the first quarter of 1924:
the second quarter of this wear in
creased 1924 600. 900 over the second
quarter of last year. The total in
crease during the past six months has
been over 1898 900 900. which is nearly
ID per cent. This increase has brought
the total construction of 1he first half
of 1925 up to S2,660.l73, 100.
The June record included the follow
| ing important items: S20S.5S2 500. or
80 per cent of all construction. for resi-.
dental buildingsI $92, ,915 700 or u per
| cent for public works and utilities;
S92 ISL 900, or Z per cent. for CONNER
cial buildings; s64 ,5s4 800, or u per
cent. for catfonal buildings. and
$25.161 400, or per cent, for indus
| trial buildings.
New Work Still Booms.
| Contemplated new work reported in
! June amounted TO 1867, ,S76 500. This
was 6 per cent less than the amount
reported in May, but "a per cent great
er than the amount reported in June

These rooms are so placed that they

The house is so feet 6 inches wide

signed to be built of hollow tile and

house-especially If the roof were
made of slate. tile or asbestos.
The Coloring is a matter of personal
taste Natural concrete is seldom used
without some coloring matter because
it is cold and possessing in tone
This house would be much improved
by the addition of vines planted at
the corners and trained over the
porches. for vines have a wonderfully
softening influence, and no manmade
decoration. such as carving or frcsCO-
ing. can transform a home SO accept
ably.
This design would be pleasing for q
corner lot, as il is equally interesting z
on all sides. Even the kitchen quar-
ters with its long slope Of roof is SO
admirably thought out. both as 10 in
terror and exterior. that one cannot
distinguish 1t as the working section
of the house as one observes the sill
houette.
AT least a 75-foot lot would be nee
essary unless the house were built on
a corner or the narrow side made TO
face the road. If either of these plans
were followed 50foot lot would then
be ample.
Since the prices Of labor and mate
rial vary so materially in different
localities. we do not attempt 10 give
an estimate as to cost but advise that
you consult your local builder. who
can give you detailed information as
to the costs of your eXast needs To be

ton as to the procuring Of the build

dren's PIayroom.

There are some houses that look
as though they were beloved family
possessions. Others have an unmis-
taxable atmosphere of being some
body's investment-mere renting shell
ter, make-shift homes that no one
takes pride in or remembers, when
they are old, that they played about
them when they We're children.
The atmosphere of treasured things
whether it be a rag doll or a picture
by some old master. is something that
cannot be described. 1t is the pres
ence of something without form, a ra-
diation of some innate characteristic
1t is something that neither neglect
nor new paint can alter, for it is in the
very structure, the personality.
This house has no relationship to
those sad structures-rentinS PROPOSE
tlonS. 1t is well deserving of the
name home. 1t has a large living
room with a fireplace, around which
the family may gather and where the
children can hang up their Christmas
stockings or toast marshmallows or
roast apples or listen to bedtime tales.
corners In which coZy reading tables
lamps and chairs can be arranged. 1t
is well lighted by groups of windows
and just off of it is a cheerful sun
room that would no doubt become the
gathering place of the family in the
Summer at least
The dining room is at the right OF
the entrance and the pantry separates
it from the kitchen. There is a win
dow in this pantry and the refrigera
tor is in such a position that 1t can be
iced from the outside If desired. The
ice box is near the kitchen door.
The kitchen, as may be seen from
the floor plan, is large for so small a
house and there is room in it for a
small table that, in case of emergen
cy, could be used to serve breakfast
upon, or for the children's lunch. A
sink with double drainboards is be
meath the windows and the running
board of the dressers and sink are on
one level so that dishes can be moved
from one to another easily.
Shelves are 50 placed that dishes
can be put into place as they are
wiped so that no wasted steps need
be taken in the preparation or the
clearing away Of a meal.
Many people like one bedroom on
the first floor. 1t certainly Is a great
saving of energy for the mother of the
family to have a room she can use
without having to go up and down
stairs constantly. or that can be used
conveniently in case of illness. This
design shows just such a room at the
back of the house, where it is quiet
and convenient to the kitchen.
Or if the four bedrooms upstairs are
sufficient this room would make a
splendid library where father could
take his comfort in peace while daugh-
ter's guests held possession of the liv-
ing room.~or where the children could
study quietly while the grown-ups en-
joyed the living room in freedom. The
doorway between this room and the
living room could be omitted, if de
sired, which would make room for a
piano or a large davenport in that
corner of the living room.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms

OLD o HAVE
NOT LOST A

Although attics are quite passe in
these days of space conservation, and
such antiques as old sofas are only
found in secondhand stores. the litera-
ture that f1ourished in the same period,
especially that of interest to children,
hasn't followed the same path of OBJ
livion, says the Wisconsin Library Bull
letin.
When dad and mother were boy and
girl, and even when older brother, and
sister were young, several apples, a
copy OF "Tom Sawyer" or Little
Women" the old sofa in the attic and
the rain pattering on the roof were
all that was necessary for a pleasant
afternoon. Or In summer, when dan
delions needed to be picked, oil the
dishes washed, the loft in the barn,
with Twenty Thousand Leagues On
der the Sea" or "Nelly's Silver Mine"
was a mighty attractive place. Young
sters haven't changed much today, for
the books that were dear to the old
folks in their childhood are just as
much read now.

QUARRELS
BY THOMAS ARkLE A

BY THOMAS ARkLE CLARK
DAYTON and his wife had quarreled
L a little that morning, and all the
day they had been unhappy as a n
sequence. They had been married a
good long time, and had come to de-
pend upon each other more than is
ordinarily true of married people.
They loved each other very dearly, and
still told each other so, though, as l
have said, they had been married for
a long time.
II vas a foolish little quarrel that
they had had. She had criticized him
at the breakfast table for the way In
which he was using his napkin or
some such carelessness, and he, more
sensitive than most men, had answered
back rather sharply, and so they had
quarreled. He might have turned it
off with a laugh, as he often did, or
she might have smiled back at his
quick retort and kissed him after
breakfast as was her custom, but in
stead her eyes filled with tears, and
she left the table hastily with him
feeling the aggrieved rather than the
A~ggressor. All day they had gone
about unhappy, each n too proud or
too much hurt to patch up the foolish
quarrel.
The years were going for Payton and
his wife. They knew very well that
the time they had been together was
longer than the time they could hope
to be, and they regretted the swiftness
Of the passing years. They knew that
the time would ome when n would
20 and there would be only one left,
and they knew how dreary 1t would
all be, how, as n or the other sal
alone, he would think back to these
foolish days and regret each moment
they had not spent in happiness to-
gether. And yet they had quarrcled
auarreled over a trihing thing that did
not matter either way, and they had
lost out of their life together one day
that might have been full Of happy
thoughts, Of sweet associations, and
left to both Of them pleasant memories
They saw how foolish it is for those
who love each other to take offense
even at hasty, unkind words, for usual
ly no unkindness is really meant, and
those who love each other will never
have too many days together and
should have on these, If possible, moth
ing to regret
Ouarrels there must be perhaps, but
they should be between those who dc
not love each other, who do not under
stand each other, whose paths cross

Myriads of ideas are expressed in
these now-so-fashionable knitted
coats. Some look as if of heavy bro

In jacquard ~patternings. Usually
these Acknowledgment coats show an
arresting intermingling of colors, not
infrequently contrasted with solid

Sometimes the long topcoat is plain
knit in beige or gray, red, fuchsia or
green as the case may be, with a deep
border of jacquard p%atterning featur-

collars and cuffs add the finishing
touch.
