REALTY FIRM OPERATES
NEW COLONIAL HOTEL

The Colonial Hotel, Fifteenth and

Marshall. Moss and Mallory, Inc,
according to an announcement by
that firm.
1t will be operated in conjunc-

The Washington times., 1926-10-23
Lime Plaster Advised
For Economy.

So.called cheap construction Is
usually expensive construction, in
that it causes constant care and ex-
pense when deterioration begins.
Reasonable construction can be OBJ
tanned only by playing a reasonable
price.
There is no single place where
good or bad work shows up as 1t
does in plastering. If plastering is
neglected or skimped, either through
ignorance or design, the result is
cracks, or rough waves or ridges
If papered, or even by dangerous
falling of the plaster.
There are several causes due to
lack of knowledge or carelessness of
the mortar man or the plasterer
that contribute to plaster failures.
1t is essential with any material
that the mortar be we'll mixed, and
the backing of wood lath, block,
brick or concerto be dampened be-
fore it is covered. With metral
lath this is not necessary, but the
lath must be tight.
Hazards Lessened
Plaster hazards are minimized by
the use Of lime. 1t produces a plas-
ter that sets slowly enough to ad-
just itself. 1t hardens by drying
out and is not dependent upon
capitalization. and Is free from the
necessity Of having just the proper
amount of water in the mortar. A
further factor Of interest to the
builder, and owner, too, is a saving
of as much as per cent Of the
cost of the plastering that the drop
pings Of lime plaster may be re-
tempered and used again with
perfect safety.
Lime plaster gives smooth,
hard surface. and the hardening
process being gradual the plasterer
has time to trim up his work and
avoid waves and uneven places on
the walls and ceilings.
On construction jobs such as the
smaller type of house, an architect
Is seldom employed. The design -
sometimes made by the owner. who

ing and given to a builder with the
iron-clad instruction that the cost
must be kept to a minimum, G.
else the contractors must bid for
the work under conditions that
necessitate the cutting of costs to
the detriment of the job.
Hard to Educate
It is often difficult to impress
those outside the building trades
with the necessity of using only
the best plaster materials. and the
highest grade of workmanship.
probably because most plaster is
covered with wall paper and its
defects are not readily apparent at
first.
For the same reason, builders de-
string to keep the costs down are
tempted to save on the plastering.
as it is natural to cut costs where
it is least apparent. This, however,
does not pay. for good plastering

REALTORS TO GIVE HOMES
EXPOSITION EVERY YEAR

Encouraged by the thousands of
persons who attended the Better
Homes and Building Exposition the
Real Estate Board will endeavor
henceforth to make this exposition
an annual affair.
The Real Estate Board feels that
the Washington public has demon
strated it's desire to be informed OF
the progress Of building, real estate
and better homes in the National
Capital, and it, therefore, will estab
lish this exposition as visual
laboratory to record from year to
year the growth of the city.
The board has already planned a
number of improvements and limo
vations which they hope they will
be able to make possible in the ex.
position next year.

BY j. LEO SUGRUE

This pretty little bungalow and
garage to match represents an en-
tirely new scheme in home con.
struction. The radical change is
the idea of Don M. York, who Is
neither builder or an architect
but makes claims for it that are
decidingly interesting.
Mr.. York claims that it is tighter
against rain and wind than frame
construction. that 1t is warmer in
winter and cooler in warm weather,
| more sound proof, wind-proof
damp,proof, dust proof and much
more economical to build and main
tain.
The house is situated in Suitland,
Md, on the Suitland Road just off
the Marlboro Pike. The lot is a
large corner which adds to the
| attractiveness Of the home. The
house contains six rooms-a large
| living room, three bed rooms
kitchen, pantry and bath. The win
dows of steel easement and the
| Gormer windows are of the usual
! double lift type.
The new phase in home con-
struction which is Mr.. York's idea
wall composition material. The
framing members of the house are
like any others in number, size
and position. Instead OF mailing
laths to the interior and weather
boarding on the exterior 1Tr. York
has had four groves milled into the
studding and has used celotex for
the interior finish and on the out
side has used an asbestos compost
ton board. Mr.. York does not plan
to stucco the exterior or to plaster
the interior-but has decided to
paint the exterior The finish is
exceedingly pleasing and the pan
nelling used makes it very attrac-
tive in appearance. The same idea
Of construction has been carried out
in the roof with the exception that
on the roof joist only two groves
were necessary No nails are u.s.
and the groved work Is where Mr.
York bases his belief that it will
be as he claims.

Nv put this country the blame for Europe's
w burden of debt very properly met with
amused silence by official Washington.
Europe's burden of debt is of course, the direct
result Of Europes insanity in destroying her wealth by
war;
This country did not cause or in any way help to
cause that war On the contrary, when Britans back
to the wall and France was down and almost out
this country unsefshy went in and saved Britain and
saved France spending in the process thousands of mil
lions of dollars to say nothing of precious lives.
If Mr.. Churchill wants an exercise in arithmetic
let him reckon what Britan debt would have been had
America stayed out.
This not all of the American side of the account
Ever since that costly plunge into another continents
quarrels, we have helped Europe consistently contnu
ally, more than had any obligation to do-more
indeed, than we had any right to do.
We have helped the European nations until they
are becoming dependents, almost parasites upon US.
1t is time for them to help themselves.
1t is not a HARDSHIP for England to pay her
debts. 1t is financial advantage and business bene-
fit Events will show that the hardship is not for the
honorable nation which pays but for the dshonorabIe
which repudiates.
England will have her honor and her credit when
France which to prefer to repudiae her honest
debts shall have become discredited and bankrupt
