Quiet Tones Urged
In Bedroom to Add
To Restful Calm
Placing of Bed Is Impor.
tant With Cross Drafts
to Be Avoided.
by WILLIAM HARMON BEERS.

In; describing a bedroom or rather in
telling you how to design a bedroom,
generalization is inescapable. There
are so many rooms, of different shapes
and sizes, and usually the bedrooms
must conform to the shape and design
OF the house. But there are certain
ideas which may be useful.
One OF the most important things
To be considered is the placing of the
beds. always try TO place them so
that, one does not face the window,
AtIer all, bedroom is a place to sleep
ana many persons cannot sleep In the
light. VA
There should not be a cross draft
on a bed. 1t may be delightful In hot
Summer nights, but with the sudden
changes that often happen in tenn
perature and as frequently bedrooms
nave to be turned into sick rooms, the
location OF the bed away from drafts
Is an advantage. If living in a hot or
temperate climate, 1t is an advantage
TO have bedrooms with a double eX-
posue. This gives through draft in
not weather and helps to ventilate the
room at all seasons.
Dont nave too many windows in
your bedrooms. Likewise, avoid toe
many doors. The reason for this is that
you must have wall space for bureaus
chests OF drawers, chairs and other
furniture. If bath connects with the
peoroom you are practically forced to
nave three doors in your room, and
II II has two sides with windows. thai
Will mean two windows at the least
ms makes five openings, and these
Openings VIII take away quite a lot OF
wall space.
Be sure and nave plenty of base

BUILDER ADVISES
REALTY statesmen
Holds "Homs Buyers Are
Construction Minded" and
Urges Intelligent Service.

Home buyers of today are construc-
tion-minded and INTELLECTUALLY con-
scious," Waverly Taylor, local builder,
told realtor sales executives at the last
regular luncheon meeting of the sales
managers section of the Washington
Real Estate Board. In discussing the
subject of home selling from the view
point of the operative builder, Mr. Tay-
lor said, the greatest need of the sales
man is more intelligent service to
clients"
Among the fundamental requisites for
rendering successful service, a knoWl-
edge of at least the various types of ar
chitecture and an understanding of the
fundamentals of materials and construc-
ton were necessary. Mr.. Taylor said
Analysing the needs, requirements
and limitations of a prospective home
buyer before any definite effort is made
to suggest particular house or loca-
ton, Mr.. Taylor said, would result in
more efficient and intelligent service
and tremendous saving in time.
Speed in modern-day construction,
Mr.. Taylor asserted, is not the result of
Shoddy, haphaZard methods but is ac-
complished through efficiency in man
agenent. Citing the new Internal Reeve
nue. Building as an illustration, Mr.. Tay-
lor said representatives of the Govern
ment calculated that two and one-half
years would be required to complete the
structure and the contract was let out
on that basis. Later changes in the
plans resulted in adding two months to
the time limit. Yet the progress Of the
work indicates the building will be COM
pleted in approximately one year and
four months.
Modern equipment, new materials,
skilled labor, rapid transportation and
specialized building organizations are
some of the reasons why homes can be
we'll built today in much less time than
was possible before these facilities were
available, he declared.

REAL ESTATE BOARD GROUPS
FORMED FOR SPECIAL PROBLEMS
Three Major Divisions Created to Handle
Questions Relating to Property Manage
ment and Mortgages and Finances.

Activities Of the Washington Real
Estate Board were intensified during
the year now ending by reorganization
of the trade body into three major
divisions, which handle specialized
problems.
The year was marked also by an
active campaign for enactment by Con-
gress of proposed real estate brokers
license law for the District, fashioned
after the model code sponsored by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards; by active participation in the
annual convention of the national as
ISOLATION in Boston in June, and by
development of services of the board to
its members.
Early in the year the board adopted
an amendment to the bylaws creation,
creating three divisions to function as
the board in their respective fields:
Property management, brokers and the
mortgage and finance divisions.
The same amendment provided for
mally for sales managers section I'M
der the brokers division. The three
divisions are made up Of active mem
bers. There Is also an associate divi-
sion.
Revises Brokers' License Measure.
The board made a revised draft of
the real estate brokers license measure,
revamping the national model law,
which is the basis Of similar laws now
in operation in Is States. and the bill
was introduced in Congress by Sena-
tor Capper, chairman OF the Senate
District committee.
Services to members of the realtors
board were conducted during the year
under which up-to-date information
regarding zoning. titles, assessments
and other statistics were made avail
able. A special service to the public
was the operation of a free informa-
ton bureau.
An important feature of the boards
activities continued to be the work OF
its appraisal committee, group OF seven
members, who, for standard fee, made
appraisals of local properties amounting
to millions in value. H. l.. Rust, 1r.,
Is chairman of the group.
Zoning Issue Considered.
Another important committee was the
one Of coming, headed by Percy H.
Russell, who has been reappointed for
another term. This committee makes
a study of proposed changes in the
coming code before each public hear
ing and renders recommendations to
the zoning Commission.
The largest delegation Of Washing
ton realtors ever to attend convention
of the national association, outside of
the one held here, went to the Boston
conclave.

OREGON COURT RULES OUT
I"HIGH-POWER" CONTRACT
Promise of Quick Resale at Profit
Called Misrepresentation and
Refund Ordered.

The Supreme Court of Oregon has
upheld the judgment of a lower court
ordering resciSsion of contract to pur-
chase land and the refund of payments
already made toward the purchase on
the grounds that false representations,
the promises of resale of the property
at profit within four weeks of the
purchase, if the buyer so desired, were
made by an agent of the defendant
when, at the time, there was no inten-
ton of fulfilling the promise.
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards points out that this court
decision is another step in line with the
recent ruling of the Georgia Real Estate
Commission, that the lecture, luncheon
and promise of resale at a profit" sys-
tenn of selling real estate was grounds
for revocation of brokers' license, and
that such a decision is progress toward
the further establishment of high ethics
in real estate dealings.
The oregon court states in It's opinion
that, although ordinarily false promises
are not fraudulent, nor evidence of
fraud, yet, when one promises another
to do something in the future as an in
ducement for the latter to part with his
money, having no intention at the time
to perform the promise, the transaction
Is fraudulent.

ARCHITECTS BOOST
CAPITAL $ BEAUTY
Activities of Local Chapter
During Past Year Are
ReC0unted.

The local chapter of the American
Institute of Architects during the past
year intensified its efforts for improve
ment of the architectural appearance
Of the National Capital, both by center
ing public attention on the matter and
by cooperative professional work.
Two Of the outstanding activities
were continuation on a more cxacting
plan of the work of the Architects Ad-
viSory Council, through which volup-
teer juries of architects make studies
OF designs for new buildings, recon-
mending changes where deemed nee
essary, and the formation of the Allied
Architects, Inc, an association of prom
inent local architects who collaborate
on development projects here.
The chapter also has been active in
its studies Of coming problems Of the
city, representatives serving en- the Eon-
ing advisory committee which makes
recommendation to the Zoning Com
mission.
Plan Headquarters Building.
The architects now have under con-
sideration a headquarters building for
the architectural profession, in which
there would be complete sample rooms
of the type which has existed for sew
eral years in New York and now is be-
ing prepared in Philadelphia.
Among other activities were partici-
patton in the sixty-Second convention
Of the American Institute of Architects,
held here, which was devoted for the
most part to development of the Ma
tional Capital. The convention went
on record supporting the Cramtcn
measure for the acquisition of extensive
areas for park developments and for
the ShipStead bill for the regulation of
rhQroptnr M
vate building projects facing or nearby
certain Government areas.
The Allied Architects was. to some
extent, an outgrowth of the idea of the
advisory council, in which the benefit
of exchange of opinions Of members of
the same profession was demonstrated
in studies and the rendering of free
suggestions regarding building plans re-
viewed by the council.
Means Of Correction.
The allied organization provides a
means OF correction of plans, Under
contract, before plans are completed,
whereas the advisory council passes
Upon plans after completion, the bene-
