REAL ESTATE

Now that the various types of
residential buildings being demoE-
strated in the ideal homes under
taking sponsored by The Star are
we'll under way, conSiGerabl inter-
est is being manifested in the houses
by the public at large and various
OrS2 ni2ations.
The nine projects being erected in
all parts of the National Capital and
its envirops call for the completion
of about 80 houses, ranging in size
from two groups of row houses to
a moderately large detached house.
No effort has been made to erect
residences of the mansion type or
to demonstrate beautiful homes by
producing a style of house that only
one in many could afford TO buy. The
entire scheme of the demonstration is
10 foster home owning among those
of moderate means who need to be
encouraged in this step.
Considerable Praise Given.
Considerable praise for The Stars
Initiative in making this demonstra-
tion possible has been given by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States through John Ihlder, manager
of the civic development department
of the organization. Mr. lhlder has
been attracted by the effort of The
Star to encourage home owning and
to bring about the beautification OF
the National Capital by the better
ment of its residences. particularly
the small homes, which are pre-
ponderant.
In discussing the demonstration
sponsored by The Star. Mr.. Ihlder
says:
Nearly 30 per cent OF the great
annual expenditure for construction
In the United States goes into dwell
ings. The great me- iority OF these
dwellings are small single family
houses They form by far the great
er part of our cities and occupy
ness and industry.
Give City Its Character.
Thus it will be seen. as a conse.
quence. these dwellings, give the city
its character II they overcrowd
their lots so there is no space left
for gardens and adequate back yards
the city becomes an arid region of
brick and stone. If they are ugly
the city as whole loses it's at

mental public buildings may be OBJ

overcome the unfavorable impression
produced by mile after mile of mo-
notonous mediocre private dwellings,

speaking, paid enough attention to the
architecture of our small houses. The
result has been cause for humilia-

and visit these houses.
While the demonstration has the

A number of individuals. including
school teachers and their classes, have
expressed q desire to visit the demon

economy and domestic science.
AS the houses now stand every
opDortunity is presented to see the
construction of row. detached, semi
detached and community group resi-
denceS in ali phases of progress. Some
of the residences are about to be
plastered. in some the foundation
work is going on. while others have
the roofing on. All have competent
men in charge to explain to visitors
the details and problems that enter
into construction.
Kitchens Come Next.
