PLAN PROJECT
FOR HOUSING
$500

Ground has been broken for the
drst group, consisting of nine two
story buildings, which will be an
innovation in cooperative apart
nnents. which contemplates housing
an entire community, at New Hamp-
shire Avenue and Emerson Street
northwest. It was announced yes
terday by the Hampshire Gardens
Development Corporation, of which
]. B. Shapiro is president. The first
unit is designed to accommodate lO2
families, and is estimated TO cost
$500, ,0OO.
This group of nine buildings will
be the first of several whicn the
organization plans to erect on
bO-acre tract between Rock Creek
Park and Soldiers Home Park. The
estimated cost of the entire develop
ment 'is approximately $4,000, 900,
and eventually will house $500
families. or approximately 100 per-
sons in cooperative homes. Hamp-
shire Gardens is the name that has
been given the project.
Variation or Hoover Plan
According to Edmund J. Flynn.
sales director for the Hampshire
Gardens Development Corpor ltion,
the project is the outgrowth of an
idea expressed by Herbert Hoover,
then Secretary of Commerce. vho
indorsed a plan to have philan-
thropist build apartments that could
be sold to Federal employees at low
, payments, after small cash pay-
men;.
Together with MIR. Shapiro,
study was made to determine
whether this demand could he met
with commercial development, ard
, after more than a year spent in
analyzing and planning, they an
nounced that they have succeeded.
Its sponsors claim it to be ore ot
the most ambitious cooperative
projects ever attempted anywhere.
They declare by applying the econo-
mic principles of combined pur-
chasing power, large scale produc-
tion and operation, they are able 10
construct these apartments and sell
them at prices and terms lower than
those sponsored by MIR. Hoover.
Architects Have Plans
Prominent architects have been
called in to design the buildings d
plan the landscaping of the grounds.
Exteriors are by James T. t'ooper,
landscaping by Parks and Baxter,
and interiors by George r. S"nt-
myers The financing is handled
by the Fl. L. Rust Company, and
legal details have been prepared by
Louis Gutenberg. ~@
The first group of nine buildings
will he each of two stories, and of
Tudor English architecture, and will
occupy only one-third of the land
allotted to them. The remainder
of the plot will be artisticaly land
scaped, making available for the
cooperative owners of this group,
central park $50 feet long and So
feet wide at it's narrowest section.
Concrete, structural steel, brick and
stone are to be used in the con-
struction.
SOlarium Planned
Some of the features of the build.
lngs will be a solarium in the sec.
ond floor space over the ain lobby,
with a special glass to permit the
health rays of the sun; one wing
of the basement in each building
will house a gymnasium and recrea
tion room, with adjoining locker
and shower room; another wing
will he fitted as a laundry. while
the two other wings will contain
individual lockers for e ach apart
ment.

New York. July 1S.-As the sleeveless frock reaches it's pinnacle of success as a necessity in the smart summer wardrobe, increased formal ity in styling is apparent.
 The sleeveless frocll that can cs- tablish itself as original is greatly to be desired. Materials play q big part. with piquc, linen, shantung, eingham and many fine washable silks all being used. But the cut of the frock and it's "drcssmaker" look are the telling points.
 The best sleeveless froCks are not simple. in the least. Rather they are so utterly sophisticated in their cut that, while intricately designed, they bear semb'ance to simplicity.
 Two NCw Style Points
 Two new developments in mid summer styles are the spiral panels Of tucks that swirl di2gonaly 70 em- phasize the new. more fitted silhou- cite and the horizontal landings, often in color on hip-yokcs, to en- phasize the f"ct that wals,jrCs are in again.
 Scanning is important. with slot scanning introducing both hlNdwork and color. E'agotting. hHas:itahiH1, fine hand omb oidery Ind drawn work and avsH lace insertion ali arc used to achi Y" that greatly dcsn ,d feminine" look.

beige felt hat, with a rolled brim, tops the suit, and little mustard colorcd socks, worn with beige sports shoes, make very smart tie-up of color.
 White silk crepe fashions a dainty little handmade frock with spiral panels of hand -hemstitching which flare in the skirt to give desired fullness, The belt is a part of the frock. with no buckle or button, new touch for waistlines.
 An Appropriate Hat
 With this type of little frock. natural colored ballibunu hat with medium brm is quite appropriate. One has banding of white which | faces throuhg a slashed brim to make little under the brim bow over one ear.
 Illustrating the emphasized waist line by means of horizontal bandings around the hips, a white crepe de chine froc!l uses give bands and tops them all with an orange, white and brown suede belt drawn snugly around the natural waist 1 line. Below the tight hip-yolle. the ! skirt is pleated all around in invert- ed box pleats of two-inch depth. 1 A scarf Of orange. brown and white is exceedingly smart with this and so IS q Chanel hat of natural Chinese bangkok with mushroom | hrim and brown, orange and white

in his camouflage that I almost be- lieved in the neglect of the hotel management. When the papers come up by Purnell In his most apologetic mood, MT. Underwood ap- peared to forget his usual flamboy- ant courtesy and, almost snatching his favorite sheet from the man. he took it over to the window and be- gan running over it hurriedly. Reso- lutely l turned my eyes from him. for he had given Lillian and me strict instruction to pay no appar- ent attention to him. But my ears followed the rustling of the pages he held, and I had hard work to keep from a startled exclamation when the rustling stopped, and he said in d voice that expressed a subtle blending of astonishment and sympathy.
 q say. Georges. here's news from Trees that concerns you"
 Next King of Trees.
 I looked at the young Prince, as did everyone in the room. His head was thrown back, and his whole figure had stiffened in the attitude of man who is bracing himself to hear uncertain news.
 What is it? 2" he asked Isis my uncle, the King. dead?"
 There was real concern in his voice. and I saw that it was the young kinsman speaking, not the heir to the throne.
 "No. although he is i'll, as you no doubt know. But Prince Carl, it seems, died night before last. Here is the account"
 Prince Georges put out pro- testing hand.
 Wont you please read it aloud 9" he asked, his face paling. IT never knew Carl well. and-I have no cause to regard him with much affection. butt is shock, never theless."
 His unaffected sincerity was very boyish and winning. I saw both Olna and Mary look at him admir- insly. while Noel's sensitive face was filled with sympathy.
 MT. Underwood read the short story slowly. There was a yelled reference 10 the serious illness of the King and a hint of the govern ment's concern over the absence Of Prince Georges. now heir to the throne. When the reading was fin ishd Mr. Underwood looked fixed ly at the youth, and knew that his apparently crass speech had been carefully thought out.
 T don't know whether congratu- lations or sympathy are in order. my boy he said. but do you real iZe you are very near a throne?"
 Princess Olina leaned forward, her eyes on Georges. as if some force outside herself was compelling her to speak.
 Georges she said sharply, you ought 10 be in Trees"

 "tluh." said little Mrs. Peter. q don't see what she did that for. Why didn't she squat when the babies did?"

It was only little while after Pc ter Rabbit had left Mrs. Bob White and her 16 babies when he discov- cred Redtail the IIawl, sailing over the Green Meadows. Peter at the time was close to the dear Old Briarpatch, so he felt wholly safe. He knew that Redtail couldn't get him in the dear Old Briar- patch and he wouldn't even try.
 "l do hope" said Peter. talking 10 himself, that Redtail will not see the Bob White family. It would he too bad if Mrs. Bob should lose any of those pretty babies. l don't know when l have seen such a prct- ty family"
 Redtail the Hawk continued to circle about over the Green Mead ows. He was high up in the air Pc- ter sat up and watched him. He knew just how wonderful were those eyes in that great bird up there. lie knew that looking down Redtail could See every little thing If so small creature as d grasshoppcr should move, Redtail would see it.
 "Oh dear." thought Peter. Hes getting almost over the place where left Mrs. Rob White and her ba- bies."
 Hardly had the thought passed through his mind when he saw a little black speck rise from the grass way over there and speed away toward Farmer Browns corn tleld. Almost at once Eedtail the Hawk shot down after the little speck.
 That was Mrs. Bob," exclaimed Peter. That is just who it was, She looked like a spcck. because she was so far away. but that is who it was, l know it. l know what shes doing. too'
 You know who's doing what ?' demanded little Mrs. Peter. who had come out from the dear Old Briar-p patch 10 join Peter.
 Peter explained about Mrs. Bob White. "She has her whole family over there with her" said he. Six teen of them,"
 My goodness." interrupted Mrs. Peter, "What a family, What a family! I don't envy Mrs. Bob White. When we had six children at one time had my hands full. Sixteen. My goodness. my goodness. what does she do with thcm""
 Just now shes trying to save them 9" replied Peter dryly.

News That Prince Georges is Next
 in Line to the Throne of Trees
 Upsets the serenity of the Royal
 Romancers
 Lillian knocked at my door early in the morning of the day following her husbands receipt of the code cable from Transvania. But l was already dressed. for my excitement over the news of the death of the heir to the King of Trees and the coming announcement of it to Prince Georges, the new heir to the throne, had permitted me little sleep.
 Its there" she said, handing me the newspaper she held in her hand. It was folded to marked paragraph and I read it silently, re- reading the last sentence.
 Attempts to get in touch with Prince Georges. now heir to the crown, who is travelling on the Con- tinent, have so far proved futile.'
 That's a good word. 'futile.'" she commented, smiling. If they only knew where their dear young heir to the throne really is."
 If he only gets back to them safely.' I said.
 "Amen." she assented solemnly. Then she extended her hand for the paper,
 "I want to hide that before any body gets a glance at it,' she said. We don't want to spoil our sur prise, surprise! But I couldn't wait, and Harry was just as bad He dressed and went across town for paper long before they were on sale down here"
 Thanks lot for bringing it to me" Itold her as I handed the sheet back to her. T haven't been able to sleep, I've been so excited over it all"
 "The things getting on our nerves" she said but l imagine the curtain will be rising on the last act fairly soon. What say, old dear? When it descends upon a happy ending. as I hope it will, let's run away from everybody for a week, sleep our fool heads off and think of absolutely nothing, ale same Ti- betan lamas."
 Its most attractive program 10 me- l told her, smiling. and when she had left me I took ad- vantage of my extra time before the rest arose 10 go to the roof for half hours brisk walk, which strengthened out the kinks in my nerves and brought me down to breakfast refreshed and calmed.

 geia. the Health Magazine In the course of tennis tourna- ment or continuous playing. one of the most important demands is for sufficient rest and sleep to keep the tennis player in good condition.
 If he is playing daily, he will re- ouire at least 9l2 to 10 hours of sleep. The demands on the nervous system interfere greatly with appc- tte. Nevertheless the tennis play CT must eat a considerable amount of food in order to provide suffi- cient energy to take care of the needs of his sport
 In selecting his diet he will nat urally take food that will provide energy and at the sam" time not interfere seriously with the diges- ton. Such foods include milk. eggs, meats. cereals and plenty Of a variety Of vegetables.
 ne tennlS player SllnplN cannot overdo the use of tobacco or of coffee. and he must watch carefully the effects of heat upon his nervous system and upon his body gener- ally.
 One of the earliest symptoms of overeXercise in tennis, as in any other sport. is the appearance of albumin in the oXcretious from the kidneys. This happens not infre- quently in the case Of the person who has taken insufficient fluid or in the person who goes into the sport without sufficient preliminary preparation.
 In order to guard against the de- vclopmcnt of this serious condition, it is advisable to have fairly ire Quent examinations of the eNcre- lions. These will indicate whether or not the kidney is able to under go the strain.
