MERLE THORPE BUYS
ROCKVILLE PIKE TRACT
Chamber Editor Pays $104, 600 for
104.Acre Home Site and
Investment.

Merle Thorpe. editor OF The Ma
TONS BUSINESS, publication of the
Chamber Of Commerce OF the United
States, has purchased two tracts Of
land comprising about 104 acres. lying
along the Rockville Pike, It was an.
noinced today by the Thomas j.
Fisher Co.. which handled the trans.
action.
The two tracts were purchased from
Mrs. c. M. Ludlum and Clarence r.
Donohoe and members Of his family
the total consideration being reported
at approximately $104,0oo. or about
81 900 an acre.
Mr.. Thorpe. It Is understood. plans
to erect a home on portion OF the
land acquired, and to hold the re.
mainder as an investment. The home,
to contain about 10 or IL rooms. Is
being designed by Appleton p. Clark,
Jr. 1t will be Colonial In design and
will be situated on a hill, about 1900
feet back from the road.
The landscaping work for the
grounds Of the home will be planned
by Frederick Olmstead. The land is
heavily wooded and contains species
OF evergreens. dogwood, oaks and
other trees native to this vicinity.
The land purchased by Mr.. Thorpe
has frontage Of about 1900 feet
along Rockville Pike and runs back
to the railway tracks on the west.
1t Is bounded on the north by the
property Of Gilbert Grosvenor and on
the south by the Sidwell tract.

soft manner that they stay walls
and do not intrude as SO many badly
painted murals do.
The door and window shades are
painted in the same manner as the
walls so that the entire picture il
carried out when they are closed. At
the windows beneath the shades there
are soft golden silk curtains to give
more sunlight. and pottery vases are
hung at them with ivy and other
plants trailing downward in long
lines. s4
The floor Is OF tile. irregular squares
or gray and red brown, suggestive Of
the forest floor. The ceiling melts
into deep soft blue.
Furniture Is the most difficult part
OF modernists' conception. In trying
to arrive at something different they
attain strange forms as the simplest
and most direct forms OF furniture
have been developed In the past. The
chairs that are used in this room are
more conventional. as can be seen by
the sketch. than most OF the futurists'
work. Small tables and a couch com.
plete the picture.

HOME HEATING ADVICE

Consulting and Advisory Engineer.
How to Burn Coke.

Coke is recognized as a desirable
fuel for domestic heating plants. 1t
may justly be considered quite clean
as compared to bituminous and rela-
lively SO when compared with anthra-
cite. The best size TO use is known
as No. nut, and runs from II to
. inches in size. Larger sizes do not
lay close enough. thus permitting too
much air pass and consequently
burn too fast and thus must be fired
more frequently.
Coke is much lighter in weight than
anthracite or hituminous coal. There.
fore a greater volume of coke must
be fired at a time than il anthracite
or bituminous were being handled.
Since coke does not pack as closely
as either bituminous or anthracite,
owing TO its sharp edges and irregu-
lar sizes. less draft is required than
for either the soft or hard coal, and
unless care is exercised the coke fire
will burn out quicker. 1t is often
advisable In this connection TO tap
down charge of coke so as to make
it lay closer and permit firing more
coke at a time than il IL We're thrown
in loosely andathus 70 carry the fire
over a -fonger period @ass
When starting a coke fire a liberal
quantity of wood should be used for
kindling, and when well ignited IL
should be covered with layer of coke
about 6 inches thick and allowed to
catch up with maximum available
draft. Ordinarily an hour will be re.
ouired before the first layer of coke
will be burning completely and freely.
When in this condition, and not be.
fore. the heater should be filled with
coke TO a depth Of IA to is inches
and the drafts arranged so that the
fuel will burn slowly.
Eighteen inches Is not too deep
10 carry coke fire. A thick bed
helps check the draft and thereby as.
sures slower ard more uniform com
bustion. The thicker the fuel bed
the less frequent In the attention re-
quire6. A thin fuel bed permits the
coke 10 burn too fast. resulting in a
hot, uneven fire. tendency to pro.
duce clinkers and requires frequent
attention.
When fixing a coke fire to carry
over night, fines from the coke pile
should be used. for these produce a
denser mass Of fuel and reduce the
draft. This in very important with
coke fire. Tapping the top of the
coke bed with poker or shovel also
may be necessary in order TO assure
holding" fire. The ash.pit door

A Modernist Room.

SO far in our discussion of the DIFF.
ferent periods of interior decoration
We have not said anything about the
modernist style.
This style in furniture. az also in
sculpture and painting. is a protest
against following the old styles of the
past. The opponents OF modernism
say that we live In a new age. and
therefore we must create new art.
Automobiles. steam engines. electrical
apparatuses, telephones. typewriters,
victrolas, stoves. refrigerators, radi-
ators, etc, all require new and diff.
ferent designs to fit their structure.
The past has nothing similar in It's
scope, 20 therefore we must create
new designs as simple and direct as
the machinery itself. Economically
and socially we do not live In the
same manner as our ancestors: we are
individuals. not families any more. and
the houses and furniture must be
made for the individuals.
This Is the basis OF the modcrnist
cutlery. and there Is a great deal OF
truth in IL. Our bathrooms and kitch.
ems are essentially modern rooms. and
therefore we make no effort to deco.
rate and furnish them In styles OF the
past. We are busy designing new and
more beautiful fixtures every day for
these two very necessary rooms
why not treat the rest of the house
In the same free spirit and let each
artist carry out his own conception
whether X be the cubist. post .impres.
sionist or futurist type OF modernist.

Efforts to obtain the modification or

Whether the home buyer knows 1t
or not he is buying not a strip of land
but part of a community. Whatever
questions a business firm asks before
Il decides to change its location. it is
buying not simply a site. but a city.
The man who is selling urban real

to know his goods.
That is the thesis upon which the
National Association OF Real Estate
Boards has built a new brief course in
real estate selling, already under study
by a considerable number OF member
boards.
