CULVER talks
ON AVIATION
FUTURE

That aviation Is to play a most
important part in the building and
progress of cities and SO quickly
there will be little time to realize
IT, was the message of Harry H.
Culver, president of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
to the Washington Real Estate
Board.
Touring the country in his own
airplane and speaking at 220 real
estate board meetings since Janu-
ary Is, the realtor head told his au.
dience the airplane was here to
stay, and that aviation was ena-
bling the world to go faster. He
added that the fast plane of today
would be kite within three years,
and that the time was coming
when an airplane trip around the
world would be as common as a
Sunday school picnic.
Aviation Growing
without touching on the local
airport situation Culver declared
that land around airports in large
cities was becoming impossible to
lease, as it was being snapped up
by light manufacturers. conces-
sions, and others. He added the
big railroads were now buying all
yardage possible for the use Of
landing fields, and that there are
now 81 air lines in the United
States, and there will be 367 air.

the present year.
Commissioner Proctor L. Dough

introduced him to the members and
guests.

this weekend. 1t presents a home
Ideally planned and arranged for
the man of moderate means, amid
q natural setting of trees, winding
streets, and streams.
Six Rooms With Bath
OF early American architecture.
the model home contains six rooms
and bath, with floored attic and
huilt.in garage. The house has
been furnished and decorated
throughout by w. B. Moses and
Sons. strictly conforming to the
design and period of it's architecture.
Particularly interesting Is the ar
Rangement of the first floor, reliev-
ing the plainness of homes of this
type, with it's unusually wide liV-
Ing room, running the full width Ut
the house, curved archways leading
20 the dining room and hall alcove.
In addition there is a cheerful
Kitchen with two exposures, equip
ped to meet the requirements of the
particular housekeeper. Off the
dining room is big porch, from
which commanding view of the
rolling topography of Sligo Hills is
obtained.
There are three large bedrooms
on the second floor, with tiled bath,
built-in tub and shower. Each of
the bedrooms has large cedar-lined
closets. In these rooms the Colonial
furnishings are most attractive.
Natural Beauty
i. Sligo Park Hills, the developers
claim, is one of the few remaining
tracts around the National Capital
suitable for subdivision purposes.
It has been the aim of the PLAN
ners to preserve as much of the
natural beauty of the land as pos
eible.
That this has been carried out in
full measure only requires a drive
through the property. Every tree
has been preserved, with the ex-
eeption of those which were neces-
eary to be removed for streets or
home sites. Sligo Park Hills is
literally a succession Of rolling
slopes and hills.
! The model home is reached by
either Georgia Avenue or Sixteenth
Street to the District line, then fol-
lowing signs direct to the property.

WEEK
FAVORED BY
TRADES

The nve-day week is now making
rapid progress in the building in
dustry throughout the United states
and It seems a matter Of a COM
paratively short time before sub
stantially the entire industry will
be operating on this basis, accord
ing to survey completed yester-
day by s. w. Straus & Co.
From an economic standpoint,
the most important current develop
ment in the building industry in
this country is the rapid drift
toward the five-dAy week." says the
report. Following its recent adop-
tion by the 10000 bricklayers in
New York city, evidence is at hand
indicating the possibility of the
entire industry in the metropolis
quickly adopting the short-week
schedule.
According to C. G. Norman,
chairman of the board of directors
of the New York Building Trades
Employees Association, the 10000
building craftsmen in New York and
immediate suburbs will be on the
five-day schedule by January 1
next. HIS, ne SJSllHldlSSB Will duu

ments as of June l this year.
"St. Louis comes nearer being
completely on the five-day week
plan than any other American city.
The following building trades are
now operating on it there: Car.
penters, plasters. cement finishers,
elevator constructors, electric work.
ers, fathers. sheet metal workers,
plumbers, steam filters asbestos
workers and all craftsmen con-
nected with the painters trade.
Eastern contractors generally
express the point of view that the
effect of the five-day week cannot
be offset by increased efficiency
inasmuch as construction is now
about as efficient as possible. They
see in effect that the recent New
York agreement between contrac.
tors and bricklayers is virtually a
forerunner of a nationwide move
ment toward a shorter work-week.
