The opening of The Star model home

taken place September Is, has been
postponed to September 30 because of
the present impossible condition of
Bradley lane leading into the KenWood
section during repaving operations, it
was announced today by officials in
charge of the demonstration.
BY the end of the month, however
the road work will have been completed
and will provide a new smooth roadway

tween Bradley boulevard and River road.

Dutch Colonial Exterior Is Pleasing
House Has Three Major
Attributes.
OVERHANG GIVES
UNUSUAL EFFECT
Large Living Room and Fire
place Are Popular.
Features.
BY l.. PORTER MOORE

President, Home Owners institute, Inc.
Designed in what is one of the popu-
lar small home architectural styles, the
Dutch colonial, this house has three
major attributes which have made it
popular with home builders
The first is an exterior that is pleas
ing to large number of persons. Wide
siding, brick chimney and terrace porch,
entry door and gable over it. and the
overhang of the second story all tend to
create the pleasing effect.
Second is the size of the living room,
which extends across the entire front
of the house A room, such as this 81
by II feet. is unusual in small dwell
ing. Log-burning fireplace and stair
way to the second floor further enhance
the charm of this room.
Third is the practical layout of the
rooms. which is such as to simplify
and provide good light
and air in all portions of the house.
Benjamin Driesler. jr., registered New
York architect, designed this home,
which is plan No. 326S; it contains
20. 500 cubic feet, divided into six rooms
and bath This design has been b4ilt
a number of times in Long Island.
For a newly married pair of young
folks with a fondness for entertaining
their friends this design would be ex-
cellent The vogue for modernism TAX
en- up by the Younger set could find ex-
preston in the exterior color scheme
To start with, the shingles
for the roof are procur-
able in a variety of hues; brick also
come in many shades; siding and trim.
and decorative shutters. if they are
added. may be painted to please.
Living and dining rooms are almost
ideal for entertaining. Open porch pro-
vides additional space that might be
used on Summer nights for bridge
tables, as lighting would be easy to ar
range. Two of the three bedrooms, If
the family is small, might be used as
guest chambers. Additional space for
recreation would be easily available in
the basement.

u. S. Supreme Court Throws Zoning
Regulation Out in Massachusetts, Case

for soap factory. In giving its opinion
the Supreme Court cites as pertinent
the fact that the owner of the tract
before the passage of the ordinance had
outstanding a contract for the sale Of
the greater part of his land, part of it
only in the restricted area. for the sum
of S63 600, but that because of the zon-
ing restrictions the purchaser refused
to comply with the contract.
The court states further the opinion
of the master to whom the case orig
inally was referred that no practical use
can be made of the land in question for
residential purposes, because with
other reasons there would not be ade-
quate return on the amount of any in
vest~1ent for the development of the
property.
The Supreme Court nevertheless
ma,.es It clear that it upholds the gen.
e-al principle of coming.
I'VE quite agree - that a court
shJuld not set aside the determination
If pr &c officers in such matter I'M
les it is clear that their action has no
in reason and is a mere
arbitrary or irrational exercise of
power" the opinion states.

What Doctors Think
of the
Laxative Habit

In al history, no Indian was ever
known to have constipation. Nor
need YOU. He chewed the bark Of
. tree called cascara. To-day we
have the candy Cascaret.
Cascarizing the bowels never
forms a laxative habit. If already
formed, an occasional Cascaret will
usually break the habit. For cas-
cara strengthens the muscular walls
of the bowels. and their need Of
any aid at all grows constantly less.
What other cathartic has this char
acteristic? The writer knows Of
none.
An evacuation brought gently
about by cascara will. nine times in
! ten, be followed by full functioning
OF the bowels on the morrow-and
for days after. For there is no
REACTION as with sickening salts.

that go through ones system like a
bullet.

ideal laxative-and the tongue tells

sit without leaning back Is an essential
for many occasions, and some have
been known to maintain 1t for all. even

The housewife who would appear at

the extent of holding herself with the

ii. Doctors are eloquent upon the SUBJ
lect of posture, and find that there are
many ailments which can be corrected
merely by governing this factor of bodily
health. 1t Is thing at which every
woman should rejoice. that matter
which contributes SO much TO her beauty
should also increase her chances for
the best health.
The fact that 1t costs effort TO some
to stand erect is evidence of the fact
that such effort is much needed. With
practice the right poiSe becomes in
creaSingly valuable habit. Lift the
chin. press down the shoulders, and let
the weight fall on the balls of the feet
when standing.
Right poise relieves fatigue instead
of promoting it, as does the wrong pos

ride to take in machine or by train,
TO sit in position fairly erect is to
relieve the spine in way for which you
yourself will have cause to be grateful.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May Is, lS64.--All Washington was
in state of feverish expectation today,
as news was momentarily expected of
great battle between Gen. Grant and
Gen. Lee in Virginia. Up TO o'clock
yesterday morning, according to the
latest reports received here, "all was
quiet" on the lines in front. but there
were indications that something would
crack" during the afternoon or night.
The steamer Mary Rapley, which left
Belle Plain. Va, at 10 O'Clock last
night, arrived here this morning about
3 o'clock, bringing the body of Gen.
wadsworth of New York. accompanied
by several officers of his staff. The
same steamer brought the mail from
the Army, In charge OF Lieut.. Parker.
Those who came up on the steamer
report that some cannonading was
heard at Belle Plain yesterday after
noon, but II was rot sufficient TO war
rant the belief that a general engage
ment was in progress. II appears that
all Confederate prisoners had been
brought to Belle Plain with the inten-
ton of sending them by boat 10 the
prison camp at Point Lookout, Nd, at
the mouth of the Potomac River, but
that only two boats were available to
transport them and many had TO be
sent back to the Valley of Virginia.
The remains of Gen. Wadsworth win
be taken tomorrow morning from the
corner Of Eleventh street, opposite the
Kirkwood House. and started on the
journey TO New York. The body will
be accompanied by Gen. Sprague. adju-
tant general of the State. and q COM
mittee Of six from the New York con-
gressionai delegation.
The body of Gen. Wadsworth was
found on the Wilderness battlefield be-
tween the Fredericksburg plank toad
and the turnpike. 1t had been in
closed in q good coffin and was In
TERED, it Is said, by man named
Pat Griffin, who lives In the vicinity
of the battlefield and who had been
befriended by Gen. WadSworth in
Washington. He Is said TO have OBJ
tanned Gen. Lees permission to care
for the body. It was recovered under
flag Of truce and brought to Fred
erickSburg yesterday.
