HIGHER MONEY RATES
PREDICTED IN FALL
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Only by a
substantial liquidation of the collateral
loan account can the money situation
be brought back to normal, according
to the monthly review of economic
conditions prepared by the National
City Bank of New York, which notes
that in the absence of such a reduc-
ton, money rates may show an easier
tendency for a time, but such easing
can be only temporary and almost GER
tain to be followed by still higher rates
in the Fall. The review of economic
conditions. published by the bank, finds
that April has been another record
breaking month for business, with
manufacturing activity maintained at
or near capacity levels.
while some fears are expressed that
the pace is too rapid and will lead to
reaction later" the review says. thus
far there is little evidence of any con-
gestion of the markets such as might
forecast recession. In general, busi-
ness appears to be functioning smooth
ly and satisfactorily. and to be remark
ably free from most Of the complica-
tions, such as labor troubles, car
shortage, price imitation and over pro-
duction that usually crop out in Pc
RODS Of largely expanded activity"

Beauty, Durability
Found in Stained
Wooden Shingles

BY the Architects Small
House Service Bureau Of the
United States, Inc.
Shingles can be one Of the most
attractive of building finishes when
properly stained in picturesque
colors. In fact, more variety in ex-
terror color effects can be man.
aged through this type Of lumber
than any other, due to the harmony
of shingles and stain. The stain
sinks into the wood, coloring the
fibeFs 30 they resemble rich velvet.
Properly protected with stain or
paint the well made wooden shingle
10 an excellent material for roof
and siding, while the addition of
either Of these preservatives gives
q more than effective appearance.
Since shingles, because of their po-
sition on dwelling, are exposed
to the destructive forces Of wind
and rain, some method of preserva-
ton must be employed. Even the
most durable varieties OF wood,
such as cypress, cedar, the red
woods, etc. are rendered far su-
perior when protected in this way
Preserve Hidden Parts
In order to be given the largest
degree Of protection available, shin
giles before being applied to a house,
should be pre-dipped in a shingle
stain, which penetrates the wood.
Preservation is the chief reason for
this treatment, however. The nat
ural grain Of the wood is thereby
Nn Dhasized, and a rich quality of
color is obtained, exceptional beauty
il afforded the house.
Prestained shingles are not apt
to cup" nor will their original fosi-
dion become easily disturbed. On
the other hand, where the stain is
not applied until after the shingles
have been placed, the greatest mea-
sure OF protection is not obtained
for the hidden and underparts.
Stain or paint, the natural pre-
servatives of wood, can be depend
ed upon to seal the pores N the
shingles and thereby prevent the
progress of weathering. The re-
suit in wearing capacity and gen.
eral appearance is greatly en-
hanced. The correct application of
the stain, Of course, Is essential to
the most effective results, and the
best method OF handling is to dip
one coat and brush one coat. The
dipping insures penetration and
even distribution Of color, as pre-
viously explained, and covers both
sides Of the shingles and under
meath the lap for distance,

Q-After heavy rains walls
are wet. Sometimes the damp
ness is near window, but not
always. 1t is usually damp
about the fireplace and above
it in the second story. is it be-
cause the stucco is too thin?
It Is on cinder blocks.
A-Thin stucco is not likely to be
the cause, nor is it the fault of the
cinder blocks. It may be that the
mortar joint was not interrupted as
it should have been. More likely,
water is getting in around the win
dow frames between the wood and
the masonry. They should be prop
erly calked. Get in touch with some
ca1king concern in your locality.
Then install a product particularly
devised to do this work. Have your
chimney inspected. The Hastings
may not be tight. Probably the
coping at the top is not waterproof
Q-The man who set the fur
mace did not put asbestos paper
on the pipes. He says that it is
not necessary, but it seems to
me that it cheapens the job.
A-Your furnace man is right.
More heat is lost across common
asbestos paper than across bright
tin. If you cover your pipes with
cellular asbestos that would be q
different thing.
Owe had a fire. The con-
tract for repairs called for
everything to be "as good as or
better than formerly" They re-
laid a good deal of the old
floors that had been water
soaked. Now there are cracks
between the boards. They
squeak and some patching was
necessary. Is this living up to
the contract?
Ave do not know what the con-
ditions of your floors were formerly,
but floors laid as you describe are
not good floors. Have them in
spected by an architect or by a
competent builder. Employ an at
torney If necessary to conserve your
interests.
Q-In a basement wall that
was plastefed the plaster falls
off and we find the wall to be
very damp. Can you advise
what to use in replastering?
Awe recommend that the source
of dampness be searched out and
eliminated, that the wall be painted
with hot tar or asphalt or other
standard waterproofing compound,
that wood Turing be applied, then
lath and plaster. This will give you
a warm, dry wall

Planned to Make

TEIIs design, SAT-, is M
= an economy house. Ia
The designers have pro-
vided five rooms, each of
adequate size, but no more,
and have arranged them H.
so that the house can be
built inexpensively.
The rectangular plan is
one of the important ways
that has been used to cut
costs. Something has been
saved by enclosing the stairway Sc
as to minimize millwork. Then the
fireplace, put on an inside wall, ef-
fects an additional saving.
More particularly. economy arises
through good use of the space. The
amount of area needed for Railways
amounts in total to an unusually
small proportion of the plan. Fur
ther economies can be materialized
through omission of the porch.
Yet here Is an excellent house of
fine architectural feeling, with a
plan of real convenience. Every
room in the house has cross ventila-
tfon. There are even windows in
two of the closets.
The drawings, particularly as to
the plans, do not show how care
fully the details of various kinds
have been worked out. Take the
kitchen, for example The sink has
been placed near the door of the
dining room so that dishes will not
have to be carried across the
kitchen. At the side of the sink is
china and food cabinet. A num-
ber of shelves extend above fine
working space. Below this are
drawers and bins for food. Beyond
is dining space.
This is in the foEm of a shallow
alcove. That is, the kitchen table
can be drawn up against a built-in
seat, like window seat, and chairs
arranged along the other side. If
desired, this alcove can be extended
to the rear sufficiently to include
the standard alcove furniture.
