of building a house without a

COOLIDGE HI rs.
BUILDING Plan

SO, far as he has reached any
conclusion. President Coolidge is
opposed to the use Of the $50. 900 900
appropriation for public buildings in
Washington for the purchase of
land lying south of. Pennsylvania
Avenue and the conclusion OF the
Mall project.
It was made clear by the Presi-
dents official spokesman today that
he believes the public buildings APP
preparation should be used to erect
new departmental structures in
Washington without delay. so as TO
relieve the existing congestion and
mobilize the scattered units Of var
ious branches of the government.
The President, however, has not
been informed as to the details of
the plan sponsored by various Caol-
net officials for acquiring all of the
privately owned land south of Penn
sylvania Avenue to the Mall, be-
tween the Capitol and Fourteenth
Street.
It was pointed out today that IL
a considerable part OF the $50,O00,OOO
appropriation was used for the pur-
chase of land the new public build
ings might be Indefinitely delayed.
The President indicated that the
conclusion OF the Mall project
should be provided for in legislation
independent Of the public buildings
bill
The President probably will con-
fer with Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover and members of the Public
Buildings Commission on the issue
IN the near future.

IDEA
INTERESTS

The plan, outlined by former Dis;
trict Commissioner Louis Brownlows
for Capitalization OF the District
government under a single head
and a "little cabinet" composed of
heads Of seven or eight departments
will receive considerable attention
during the coming short session of
Congress. it was indicated today.
The former Commissioner will be
called upon before the session be.
gins, December z, to outline his
| plan in detail to members of the
special House District subcommit-
tee before which he appeared yes
terday.
Only three of the seven members
of the subcommittee attended yes

Mr.. Brownlow was not pressed for
details. Representatives Clarence
J. Mcleod OF Michigan, Frank r.
Reid of Illinois and William C..
| Hammer of North Carolina. who
heard former Commissioner Brown
low sketch his plan, expressed
themselves as being impressed and
deeply interested in the proposal.
Law to Be Drafted
When tllee full committee can be
assembled, probably as soon as the
November election contests arc
settled, a comprehensive plan for
reorganization of the District gov
eminent, probably largely along the
lines suggested by Mr.. Brownlow.
will be discussed, and it is expected
| that legislation to carry Cut tire
| suggestion will be drafted. This
| draft will be submitted TO the full
District Committee early in 'Decem-
Der, according to present plans,
with a recommendation that it be
| acted upon this session.
| Representative Reid is especially
| interested in the plan. He is the
author Of a bill providing for re
organization of the local govern
ment along the lines employed in big
! business organizations as a means
Of securing greater efficiency in
administration Of the local public
! business.
Members of the subcommittee are
| tentatively considering plan
which would call for creation of a
post in the District government
similar to that Of city manager in
many cities. One man would be
placed in the post of supreme
authority in the local government.
The present board of Commits.
sioners, probably enlarged to five
or more members. would be con.
tinued in an advisory capacity or
would be supplanted by an advisory
| board composed of department
heads. In this case the District
government would be reorganizei
into not more than eight major
departments.

The disposition to be made of
the Public Utilities Commission,
the Zoning Commission and other
similar bodies under this plan has
not yet been determined.
Creation of an independent Pub

SCHOOL WORK MADE
A COMMUNITY OCCASION

Rural school meets, district and
county, are held annually in Dewitt
County, Texas. They are combined
community picnics and examination
occasions, and have been instrumen-
tai in arousing public interest in ed
ucation and in encouraging pupils to
continue in school. Results are
shown by the fact that since 1920
one-teacher schools in the county
have been reduced from 80 to 1S, and
school terms have been heightened
in many places. Elementary gradu-
ates in the county increased from 81
in 1925 to 70 in 1926.
The project or problem method IS
followed in elementary grades. out
lines of work to be done are pre-
pared by Superintendent II. B. Mont
gomery and furnished to all teach
ers. There are 10 branches or sub
jects in the grades, and pupils
study subject until it is mastered

HELP IN CURTAIN PROBLEMS

Almost every home requires cur
tains Of some sort in most of its
rooms, either to insure privacy. to
modify the light, or to add to the
decorative effect. The cost of cur
talns IS one Of the leading items in
the outlay for household textiles.
Even fiVe-roOm house having a to-
tai Of only dozen windows will
need about 60 yards of material if
curtalned completely. The EXPENSE
Tor curtains must be repeated every
few years, because they wear out or
fade. 1t is important, therefore, for
the housewife TO know how to meet
thls expenditure adYantageOusly.
Inc Bureau Of Home Economics Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has made a special study
OF curtain problems and is ready to
help the homemaker simplify her
task and get the best value for her
money Some Of the following points
should be kept in mind: To be use
ful, curtains must not conceal an at
tractlYe view, prevent adequate ven
tilatiOn, or shut out too much dav-
light. They should soften and diffuse
the light entering the room and
break the severe lines Of the wooden
casing around the window. Good de-
sign requires that curtains have
strong lines and pleasing propor-
tions, and that through a careful
choice Of texture and color they link
together the furnishings of the room.
Simplicity is the keynote of the
best curtain arrangements nowadays,
though just how this is carried out
must depend on the shape and type
of window and the general tone of
the room. In a living room with
pleasant outlook, side draperies and
a valance may serve to frame the
window and its view and add to its
color scheme. For the bedroom,
transparent curtains hung close to
the window glass are oftentimes suf-
ficient. The bathroom and kitchen
curtains must be able to stand fire.
quent Tubing and be so simply made
that they can be taken down and put
up easily.
In addition to the publication deal
ing with the principles of window
curtaining, the Bureau of Home
Economics has issued one on the Sc
lection of cotton fabrics, which will
be found helpful when choosing the
necessary materials.
