CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-within the
next ten years single family houses
will be fiat rooted, with opaque
windows, two-inch walls and cool
ing systems of their own, according
to Herbert q. Nelson, executive sec
rotary of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards.
The association believes fiat roofs
can be utilized for outdoor living
rooms in these days of small build
ing lots when yard and recreation
space is at q premium. Modern
downspoutS and cutters and the
waterproof character Of materials
make it unnecessary now to pitch
roofs to combat the elements.
Opaque windows as wide as store
windows may be used to provide
air and light without loss of privacy,
because though sunshine can pene-
trate, the public gaze can not.
Nelson predicts thinner and
thinner" walls and partitions which
will save SO much space that an
other room can be added without
increasing the dimensions of present
house plans.
Centuries ago when a man built
house, he usually built it of stone
