HOME MODERNISM
] ASSURES COMFORT
Forethought Provides Utility,
Economy and Convenience in
Construction of Dwelling.
BY WYATT BRUNIMITT.

Home is factory for the production
OF shelter. safety and happiness for the
family. There is no reason why a
home should be a less efficient factor
in machine age life than a plant built
forc the protection Of an industrial in
vestrnent
Modernism in home architecture does
not imply bizarre or freakish architec-
ture, for modernism is essentially mat
ter$of utility, comfort, convenience and
economy. There is no reason why a
small English cottage type of house
cannot be truly modern: similarly,
American Colonial architecture may be
utilized in home that Is as modern as
next years motor car.
Modernism In a home means, first,
that from purely structural standpoint
the, house is built to stand the gam of
weather and to afford its occupants the
utn1ost comfort and security, no mat
terswhat may be happening outdoors.
Second, modernism means freedom
from the hazards of fire.
Third, the modern house is light, airy
ana, easy to clean and keep clean.
Fourth, modernism in a home means a
mitimum of waste space; for waste
space costs as much as used space and
DOESN'T pay dividends.
fifth, the modern house is an in
vesfnent; shoddy construction, with its
inevitable following of early depreci-
atibn and high maintenance, has no
place in the truly modern scheme of
things.
Finally, the modern home is beauti-
fult1nside and out. 1t is beauty, more
OF design than ornament, of carefully
designed proportions rather than elaba-
rate scroll work tackled on at random.

Real Estate Boards Hoping to Improve
Webster's Definition of the Word Home

The National Association of Real
Estate Boards is dissatisfied with Mr..
Webster's definition of the word
home" and, seeking a more complete
description, offers $3.50 for the best one
submitted to the association headquar-
tiers in Chicago.
There is no adequate definition for
the word home" according to Herbert
u. Nelson. executive secretary of the
association. Mr.. Webster's definitions
are cold and inadequate, thinks Mr..
Nelson. zones own dwelling place;
the house In which one lives; the house
in which one lives with his family; and
the abiding place of the affections"
found under the word home" in the
Standard Dictionary, hardly describe
the magic in this word, he contends.
Nor does the Funk & Wagnalls Die
tionary do better with ones fixed place
of abode; family residence
Home is more than an abiding place,
more than a refuge, more than sign
of independence. Home is an institu-
ton into which are packed the prac-
tical and the sentimental. and good
definition must cover all that the word
home covers"

PRIVATE BUILDING
''PLANS EXTENSIVE
So, 900, 900, 900 Program Ex.
pected in Six Months,
- Declares Expert.

A building program closely approx
mating $4,000. 0o0. 900 may be counted on
during the ensuing six months as the
building industry's contribution to con-
tiuued American prosperity, Nicholas
Roberts, president of 8. w. Straus g.
Co, stated today.
This program is exclusive of major
engineering projects" Mr.. Roberts ex-
plained. 1T does not include street and
highway construction, bridges, highways
and similar projects. 1t pertains only
to private and public buildings for which
building permits must be secured.
Official reports made to S. W. Stratus
& Co. of building permits issued from
the 900 principal cities and towns of
the country, where the bulk of building
exists, show that building operations for
the six-month period from December
to May 81 has not greatly varied during
the past four years. For example, from
December /. 1925, to May /, 1926, the
total was $2.176082,750. During the
same period of the following year the
total was $2004, 012,088. For the Win
ter and Spring season of 1927-1928 per-
Intts amounted to 81, s94, 1853, 9o8 and for
the half yearly period beginning De-
cember /, 1928, and ending May 81,
1929, the total was 81, 996,i6i ,3l7.
During the latter months of this
year there has been a rather pro-
nounced slowing down in building ac-
Invites and it is quite possible that for
a few months more this downward
movement will continue. There are.
however, three major factors which, be-
fore great while, should materially
change conditions for the better. These
are:
"f) The period of easy money into
which we have now definitely entered.
"(2) The vigorous efforts undertaken
by President Hoover and the united
business interests of the country to
stimulate activities along every possible
line.
"(3) The increased demand which has
been created in most types of buildings
through the slackened activities of re-
cent months.
I'VE believe, therefore, that the en-
suing six-month period beginning De-
cernber l should, on a conservative es-
innate, offer nearly as much potential
public and private building as we have
had during the similar period of the
year just ending, when the volume was
but slightly less than $4,000, 000, 000."
