SHINGLE MANUFACTURE
HAS BEEN MODERNIZED
Old Method of Hand-Making Re.
placed by Efficient
Machines.

To the materials in most common
use and particularly those constantly
before us we give perhaps less
thought than to those which are not
so common but which have been more
recently brought to our notice be-
cause. Of the new properties they may
possess or because of a supposed need
they may seem to fill.
Shingles, for example, are one of the
oldest of our building materials, hav.
ing been in constant use in this coun.
try for nearly 800 years. Because of
the great demand. for them the old
methods of manufacture have long
since been done away with and have
been replaced by the use of the most
modern machinery.
Shingles were first rived from the
solid wood and later split in order to
obtain straight and more even grain.
Now they are manufactured in a most
scientific and economical manner.

Braced framing is an alternate
method Of carrying out the construc-
ton of the country house depending
on wood for its Structural strength.
Last week we discussed the way of
supporting the corners of the balloon
frame type of construction. which is
the most commonly used method.
However, In some sections Of the
country the braced frame is very
often employed, and in many respects
1t is just as important for the reader
to be familiar with as is the balloon
type.
As the accompanying sketch, marked
good construction" indicates the
braced frame depends primarily on
the series of braces employed on all
exterior corners of the building, at
the base as well as at the top.
The salient points for which the
hcme builder should be on guard are
the following: !. The braces should
not be set at too vertical an angle,
which !mpairs their strength, but
should approach an angle Of 45 de-
grees. so as to carry horizontal as
well as vertical braces in an equal
and proportionate manner. . The
exterior studding. or "twoby .fours"
of the building, do not carry higher

ONVILLAGE MODEL HOME
WALLSREACH SECOND STOR-.
Progress on Dwelling Soon to Permit Pro-
pective House Owners to Inspect
Work Being Done.

The Star model home. which is be-
ing erected i'll Lyon Village, Va, by
Lyon & Fitch, Inc, as part OF the
better homes demonstration, spon-
sored by The Star. now in the third
week of it's construction, is beginning
to take definite form as work pro-
crosses on it's masonry walls.
Construction of the walls of this
demonstration house has reached the
second-story joists, and the work is
proceeding on schedule time. 1t is to
be completed in time for the formal
opening August 27.
The builders expect to have the
Lyon Village model home under roof
within two weeks, at which time 1T
will be at q stage affordinS best op-
portunity for study f. home builders
and prospective home owners.
In selecting the designs of the five
model homes to be built in Washing
ton and it's Virginia and Maryland
suburbs this year in the better homes
demonstration, the Star model homes
committee, which is in charge of the
project, decided upon widely different
architectural styles in order to afford
the prospective home builder the great
est possible scope for study. The de-
signs selected range from English cot
tage type, such as is being erected in
Wesley Heights, to the Italian mis-
sion style of suburban home, which
is building on the Granada Terrace
site in Lyon Village.
In the selection of each type the
model homes committee, which is
headed by Capt. II. c. Whitehurst.
kept in mind the important point of
suiting the type of home to its sur
roundings.
The Lyon Village house, which was
designed by Speiden & Speiden, Wash
ington architects. will have a unique
setting in section just north of the
Lee Highway. which has been reserved
by Lyon & Fitch. the owners and de-
velopers, for homes of the Mediter-
ranean type of architecture.

lastly, it is found necessary to in.

The sketch marked faulty con-

points where the Jerry builder
might fall down on the intricacies Of
his framing layout, which, while they
do not represent material saving
to him, might be carried out because
OF lack of knowledge Of the subject.

Home and Its Upkeep Seen as Rejecting
Glass of Owners Character and Ideas

own home eventually set that as a goal
in their lives, but they set it too late.
The time to begin owning home is
when you first can gather enough
credit together to get into debt for it.
Being in debt may seem a dangerous
state and yet it is the healthiest pos.
sible state for man with good health
and normal brain, If he goes in debt
for such a necessity as a home.
Thereafter he has a constant spur
to his ambitions; he has a point on
which he can focus his expenditures
so that they bring him the greatest
returns in health and happiness. The
community appreciates that sort Of
man, the employers appreciate his
value and the banks appreciate his en-.
deavors. The man who is spending
the better part of his earnings at
tanning, improving and maintaining a
home is a far better citizen than the
man who is content all his life to be
a tenant.
The stability of this great Nation is
based on just that sort Of freedom.

tionally known wiring system ap-
proved by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters is being used through
this house, in accordance with the pur-
pose of this campaign to demonstrate
the advisability of the use of approved
high-grade materials and equipment
in home building.
Sewer Pipes Laid.
At this time, also. the sewer pipe
has been run from the street to the
house The cellar work is all in and
the stacks have been installed and in
stallation of all of the water pipes will
be begun Immediately. They will be
of brass and will last the lifetime of

Home ownership is an enviable
state, but no one envies the family
that owns a home that is constant
drain on income. You might
as well continue as a renter if you
are going to buy or build home
constructed of fiimsy, inferior mate
rials. for you will never secure real
independence. w. c. Miller says.
Costly repairs and requirements will
eat up whatever margin you might
have saved by joining the hometown
ing ranks. Homes built of poor mate
rails are not really homes and their
disillusioned owners know them for
lifelong disappointments.
Follow the construction of The Star
model home carefully from week to
week. A record of the construction,
the materials being used and the pro-
cedure followed will appear every
week in The Star until the public
opening. July 80.
The home is located at 2910 Forty

satisfaction and long life to house.
it was pointed out today by w. G.
& A. n Miller. builders of this home.
The rough outline of the house now
has been completed and the builders
are adding the finishing touches. In
another week, the lathing will have
been put on and many of the vital
points in home construction will then
be covered up.
Many Visitors See Work.
Following the invitation extended
last week to prospective home owners
to inspect this house a considerable
number of visitors have taken the op-
portunity to see the building and study
its construction. Those interested in
home building again this week are
urged to visit the place while the
interior construction of the house is
available for inspection.
At this time the house is entirely
under roof and the chimney has been
topped out anu Tie UullItIS dic COiil-
pleting the exterior of the house in
preparation for the stucco finish. On
top of the sheathing they have applied
a heavy oiled building paper and have
furred out with Is "X2A strips, upon
which TO nail the metal lath and the
exterior beam work. The beams are
now being put in place. When the
chimney was topped out it came right
through the center of the roof and
great care was exercised by the build
ers to see that the copper-clad shingles
were protected so that the mortar
from the brickwork would not be
thrown thereon. because it would
blemish the roofing material, and spots
of mortar are very difficult to remove.
Where the chimney went through
the roof care was exercised to see
that the chimney was properly flashed
with copper, and copper-clad shingles
had been applied. This was counter
flashed as an extra precaution against
leaks. This flashing was built right
into the masonry work and extended
under the shingles for a distance of
about six inches. The counter flashing
was also built into the masonry work
and projecting over the top of the
shingles.
The wiring system and the plumb
fng system of the Wesley Heights
model home now are being installed.
Installation of both is regarded as
a highly important step in residential
construction
If the wiring is not properly done
at the time of building, it is pointed
out great expense in tearing down
walls may be incurred later, if the
owner endeavors to correct the early
mistakes. These plans have been
checked and rechecked in this regard
and will conform in every respect
to the latest methods in design.
1t is almost impossible to provide

BY RICHARDSON WRIGHT.
Editor of House and Garden.

A strange and wonderful experience
comes to man who for the first time
owns his home. Hitherto he has been
a nomad, living in other peoples
houses, subject to their regulations
and the whims Of their legal require
ments. He may live in other peoples
houses long time, and never become
a part of them or they part Of him.
But let him acquire his own home
possess the land and the house that
stands on it--and forthwith he begins
to grow in an amazing number OF
ways. He becomes established. He
becomes identified with that piece Of
land and that house. 1t is his. He
is part Of it and it becomes part of
him in many senses. 1t acquires the
marks of his tastes, and it's design, it's
furnishing, its upkeep and the garden
that surrounds it are all symbols of
himself.
SO many people hope to own their
