This method of flashing, which is
very seldom found in home construc-
ton, is worthy of the closest inspec-
ton of any one who is interested in
properly applying stucco on the ex-
terror of buildings. Standard brands
of cement and lime have been used in
this stucco work and the sand used
has been thoroughly cleaned. The mix
is one part of cement, three of sand
and not over 10 per cent of hydrated
lime. measured by the weight of
cement The first coat contained Suf-
ficient hair for proper keys, and the
second coat was applied within "a
hours of the first coat and thoroughly
scratched. The final coat will contain
a mineral color selected by the builder,
and this will be the finish of the stucco
job.
Best Materials Used.
Home building processes, building
materials and equipment have been
more or less a mystery to the average
family investing what is often their
life savings in their home. There is a
right and wrong way to proceed
through all the steps in residence con-
struction, from the selection of the
site 70 the kind of roof material used.
These are things that prospective
home owners should know, for if the
home is poorly built of f1imsy or in
ferior mate lis, it is the home owners
pocketbook that will suffer.
In The Star demonstration homes
there have been used only the finest
materials available in this country.
These materials have been used ac-
cording to the manufacturers speci-
ffcations, which have been recommend
ed as a result of careful laboratory
tests and practical application.
The Wesley Heights model home is
located at 2910 Forty-fourth place.
It may be reached by driving wester-
ly on Massachusetts avenue from Du-
pont Circle, crossing over Wisconsin
avenue and Immediately thereafter
bearing slightly left from Massachu-
sets avenue down Cathedral avenue
for distance of one-half mile.
This will bring you to the front door
of Wesley Heights, where you should
proceed westerly one block, turning
left or south on Forty-fourth street
for one block. then turning to the
right on Hawthorne street and travel
ing in a westerly direction one block
to Forty-fourth place. The site is then
to the left, and on the right-hand side
of that black-Forty-fo place, be-
tween Hawthorne and Garfield streets.

Plasterers now are at work on The
Star model home which is being erect
ed on Forty-fourth place south of
Hawthorne street, Wesley Heights,
and within few days prospective
home owners who inspect this demon
stration house will see another impor.
tant phase of the building of homie
completed.
This model home, the first of five
being constructed here this year un-
der the auspices of The Star and the
Home Owners Institute. will be COM
pleted, furnished and open for public
inspection by July 80. In the mean
time, all interested in the better-homes
movement are invited to visit the
house to study the building as it
progresses from stage to stage.
This demonstration house, which is
being built by w. G. and A. n. Miller,
members of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board, is of the English cottage
style of brick and stucco construction,
with exposed timber work.
Two Coats Applied.
During the past week the first two
coats of plastering have been applied
on the interior. There has been used
a patent hard-wall plaster. All brick
walls have been furred out with wood
strips and No. spruce lath have been
applied on all walls and ceiling on the
first and second floors. All corners
and angles and such portion of the
walls where the lath covers the span
of dimension timber have been covered
with metal lath well secured in place.
Galvanized iron corner beads have
been placed on all exterior angles run
ming from floor to ceiling.
These corner beads have been Sc
cured in place with nails and staples,
and have been set plumb SO as to pro-
vide ground for the plastering at
that point The grounds for the open
ings were first set in position so that
there might be gauge for the thick
ness of the plaster and in order that
the trim would hug the wall when APP
piled. Further reason for the use of
grounds is to provide the proper thick
ness of the partition for the door
jambs when hung.
The next step in plastering will be
the application of the finished coat,
which will provide a smooth white
finish for the paper or paint as it is
applied. At this stage of the plaster
ing it may be seen that the interior
angles have all been cut through to
the wood lath, SO that should shrink
bound to do in time, the crack formed
by the shrinkage will run straight
down or along the angle which has
been cut into the plaster, and the side
walls and ceilings will not be marred
by the cracking. This is a precaution
which should be followed in all in
stances, but is generally neglected in
the average job of plastering.
StuccO for Exterior.
The first two coats of the exterior
stucco have now been applied in the
panels above the brickwork Over the
sheathing wood Turing strips have
been applied and a rustproof metal
lath has been secured thereto with
galvanized iron staples. A special fea-
ture of these panels of stucco is the
manner in which the flashing has been
done. This copper tla hing has been
placed around the sides of the panels
in the form of an angle, so that the
copper would project under the panel

The completion today Of what Is
practically a permanent roof marked
the progress of construction this week
on tho demonstration home being
built in Lyon Village, Arlington
County. Va, by Lyon & Fitch. Inc,
in connection with the series Of five
model homes being sponsored by The
Star this season.
The Granada Terrace model home,
which is Italian mission in design,
has been given a fiveply Stag roofing,
built up of the best materials to meet
the requirements of the Federal Gov
eminent master specifications. AL
though this builtup Stag roof is guar
anteed for 10 years against leaks, 1t is
for all practical purposes permanent
roof, many roofs of this type having
been built from 30 to 40 years ago
and still in perfect condition.
The five-ply Stag roof of the Granada
Terrace demonstration home was
built on a base of roof sheathing of
seasoned lumber, dressed smooth and
laid with tight joints. On this base
was placed one layer of unsaturated
felt; next two plies of saturated felt
were applied, with the joints tapping
II inches; then a coating Of asphalt
was laid down. On top Of this three
more plies Of saturated felt were
placed with joints tapping % inches;
then a second coating Of asphalt was
applied, and the whole covered with
300 pounds Of Stag to each 100 square
feet of surface.
Long Service Expected.
This fiveply roof should give a long
lifetime of faultless service, the build
ers point out 1t is the most service

were graded to pitch all water to one
