ARCHITECT URE
LIVENS ROW
HOUSES

Dwelling house construction With
in the last decade or two has made
some very rapid advances, not only
in construction and home appliance
but in the field Of design and archi.
lecture. Particularly so Is the ad.
vancement Of architecture In the
row and seni-detached dwelling
operations. The old saying that
Variety Is the spice Of hfe' Ger.
taInly holds good in home construc-
tion, for the more varied the row
or seni-detached operations the
more satisfied the builder.
People today are being educated
to look for something different and
perhaps q little better than their
neighbors have and to some ex-
tent 1t Is q boon to building that
more attention Is given architectural
beauty III home construction. The
row-h0use dwelling of years past
have assumed the appearance Of
factory buildings cut into small
compartmentments, so uniform
were the housing units.
The lack OF variety had detri.
mental effect. Folks who rented
homes Of this sort, and some peo-
pie who bought them. were always
looking for new developments even
IL they were Of the row house type.
The monotony of SO many houses,
all alike, wore on their nerves. ana
it was always relief to move, even
III the new home was another row
variety z
Variety Rule Now
A few changes were gradually
brought about. Color was intro
duced into the building field and
prospective home owners took a
liking to 1t. Other builders followed
the trend and now there are few Of
the row house operators who are not
effecting some form Of variety III
their operations.
1T Is hard to find an operation
that does not have at least two diff
ferent exteriors for solid row
houses, and possibly four for semi
detached structures. The general
rule Of builders today Is to construct
one pair of one type. followed by.
another pair Of different design. The
materials used vary from different
brick and stlicco or perhaps brick
and wood
Some developments have followed
the English cottage type. others the
modified ElizabetIlan. while few
are turning to the Spanish or Moor
ish design Porches have been
changed in many solid row houses
abolishing the cOmnnoner develop
ment as well as giving a certain
amount Of variety to the individual
homes.

Plenty of Fuel for
Burners, Says Grove

According to reports received by
w. p. Grove, president of the Silent
Automatic Corporation. distributing
the Silent Automatic Oil Burner
here, and an exhibitor at the Better
Homes Exposition, there is sufficient
fuel oil above ground to supply all
Of the oil burners for more than
20 years.
With this in view and the fact that
millions Of gallons a year are being
produced, owners OF oil burners are
sure that they will not lack for fuel
in this day and age, If ever.
In a year like last year or this.
the world will use up something like
345, 100000 barrels of gasoline. At
the present time we are producing
crude oil in the United States at the
rate of about 100000 barrels per
year.
The. crude productions, through
the summer months of this wear,
was rated at about 100000 barrels
a day. The country has a refining
capacity of 3,250,380 barrels per
day. There now are 423 petroleum
refineries in the United States. On
January I this year the daily re-
finery capacity had, in one year,
been increased from 3,061 ,007 to
$780, $3.50 barrels.
1t is interesting to note that Cali
fornia leads the world in petroleum
refining. having 73 active plants,
with a combined daily capacity of
S51, IT'S barrels of crude oil. Most
of these plants are in the southern
part of the State-chiefly in or near
the Los Angeles Basin.
At present. and for many years
to come. there is going to be an
abundance of crude oil.

80 n SERVAT| ION
Of u. s. WOOD
URGED

A recent report OF the nationa!
committee on wood utilization of the
Department of Commerce shows
that body to be functioning regu-
larly in its relations with the in
dustry and the Government for
which it has been created to serve.
The committee was established by
order OF President Coolidge and or.
ganized by Herbert Hoover.
Its purpose is to perpetuate the
forest resources of the country
through intelligent use Of timber.
During the three years of its ex-
istence the committee has proved
that cooperation between Govern
ment and industry is practicable.
The committee membership is made
up Of 140 producers, distributors
and consumers OF forest products.
In addition. numerous technical ex.
perts are included.
Utilize Wood and Save the For
ests' is the committees slogan. At
first glance it might seem para
dox because the popular conception
prevails that our timber resources
are on the wane. Were timber a
non-renewable resource this would
be perfectly true, but it must be.
realized that the growing of timber
depends on mans will and the me-
cessity therefor.
Waste Attacked
At present only one-third of the
tree is utilized as it stands in the
forest, and two-thirds of the tree is
more or less wasted or put to un-
profitable uses.
It is this two-thirds waste which
the committee is attacking, the the.
ory being that if more of the tree
could be utilized this would have a
tWo-fold effect:
First, it would decrease the acre
age to be cut over each year to
satisfy the Nations demand for TIM
ber; and second, it would auto
nlatically increase the value of
standing timber. making investment
in reforestatfon activities profitable.
This increased utilization lowers
the cost of raw material to the
consumers.
Over 80 million people in this
country are living in frame houses
and while it is true that SIS per
cent of the total lumber cut goes
into building and construction, 40
per cent of the Industrial plants are
depending on wood as raw material.
The range of industrial uses for
wood reaches from pulpwood to
wood chemicals and from toys to
artificial silk.
Mode. n progress has made wood
an indispensable material.
The maintenance of the Nations
Forest resources is not local
question. but one Of national inn
portance.
Everyone Can Help
Everybody can help in this ma.
tlonal campaign for better utiliza-
ton of wood. 1t applies to 4 tar
greater extent to the average citi-
zen because he is the consumer.
Consider how wood is used in the
average small home in America.
First of all, we enjoy lower pro-
The Washington times., 1928-10-27

to facilitate the selecting OF proper
grades for the proper purposes, the
committee has induced several Of
the more progressive lumber associa-
tions in the United States to have
their lumber producing members
provide each piece Of lumber pro
duced with a mark indicating its
grade.
This is commonly referred to as
grade marking, and has received its
greatest impetus among southern
mills. The producers in other parts
of the country are now rapidly
falling in line.
The theory behind the grade
marking OF lumber is the same
applying to the grade marking of
other building materials, and even
foodstuffs.
The Washington times., 1928-10-27

A pamphlet pointing out the
economies and advantages Of using
grade marked stock has been is
sued by the committee.
Poor Kind Of Economy
There are many other features in
connection with house construction
where 4 closer utilization of wood
PLAYS an important part. 1t is suf-
ficient to mention that it is poor
economy to use lumber free from de-
fects for purposes where the wood
is to be painted or covered with lin
oleum.
Sound, knotty lumber should find
q place in these instances. and the
consumer would in many cases save
half of the cost of the material.
We are as extravagant with lum-
ber as we are with food.
The Washington times., 1928-10-27


nortionate lumber prices than any
other civilized country. A dollar
in this country will buy more IN
proportion to other materials than
in any other country.
Millions Of people have been able
to realize their dreams OF home
ownership through the availability
of this low-price building material,
More wood is used today for the
heating Of homes than for building
purposes; il is giving us both shell
ter and heat.
Paints and varnishes which pro-
tect our homes from the destructive
influence of the elements are often
made from wood chemicals.
Wallpaper, linoleum, and millions
of yards of rayon used in the dec
Grafton of homes. are wood prod
ucts.
Even milk bottles have been made
of wood pulp, and science is con-
stantly developing new products
made of wood, for the purpose of
increasing dur standard Of living.
A great many OF these articles
are made from what we may term
wood waste and in finding an in
creased intelligent use for these ma
terials the citizens are unknowingly
aiding the committee in its work
to safeguard the future of our for
ests through reforestation.
Intelligent Uses
The committee. however. does not
only advocate an extended use Of
forest products, but it emphasizes
intelligent use.
Many people have been disap-
pointed with the construction of
their homes because they have paid
more attention to the decorative
features than to the construction
itself What is behind the plaster
and the wallpaper is a mystery to
most home buyers.
The use of so-called green lumber
which has not been cured or sea-
soned is responsible for annual
losses amounting to millions of dol
lars. and early depreciation Of
wooden houses. In order to correct
these conditions. the committee has
published series Of bulletins IN
the proper seasoning and handling
OF lumber, with special edition for
the prospective home owner and
house builder, showing how Lumber
should be stored and installed in
the building in order to eliminate
the causes of shrinking and warp
ing.
Much faulty construction results
from the ignorance on the part of
builders and home buyers in regard
to the question Of what grades to
use in house construction. In order
