December traded up TO 1924 anr
January to l0.46. or ] to 2 points

Of lack OF support and some earl
softness IN the stock market.
The market ruled very quiet al
morning but prices were sustained
by the cold wave and low tempe-a-

rather bullish weekly statistics, tie
figures showing a falling off IN the
movement Of the crop to market
and increased mill takingS.
December traded up to 1887,

ing the earl, trading, the market
was steadier. The offerings re-
sponsible for the early decline were
absorbed by the trade apparently
with the demand increasing as De-

TO covering by local traders and
there was rallies of s to 7 points

Once in while an architect Is given
complete small problem of excep-
tional interest. An architect was asked
to design such building a few years
ago, and the accompanying plan shows
how 1t was treated. The client had
previously altered an old New Jersey
farmhouse by adding large living
room, guest bed ROBINS. bath. etc. The
old kitchen was modernized, but not
enlarged.
The heat in such a low-ceilinged
room became unbearable in Summer,
and the odors of cooking found their way
into the living quarters, so the archi-
tect was commissioned to add one
story wing which would enable him to
keep a famous cook and eliminate, as
much as possible, all cause for COM
plant.
AS the plan shows, 1t IS separate
building 80 by % of hollow tile with
a slate roof From the pantry it is
entered by a short passage across the
end of the old kitchen, now a maids
sitting room. The butler is not allowed
to go through the archway which opens
from the entry into the kitchen proper.
The food is passed directly to him from
the stove or the preparation table onto
a counter through an opening in the
side wall of the cooking alcove.
The main kitchen, with three win
dows at either end, has 10 feet 6 inch
ceiling, with ventilation into the attic
space. The west wall has two arches
on either side of the cooking alcoye,
one leading to the store room, the other
to the entry. Before the window giving
light to the entry are low cupboard
doors giving access to ash and garbage
pals, which can be removed from the
outside of the building. The cooking
alcoVe is about feet square, and the
ceiling is carried up Is feet to venti-
lator which carries the odors off
through the small cupola (Which shows
on the roof without the need of forced
ventilation. The alcove walls are lined
with white tiles and it is lighted by
circular window above the ranges.
The east wall of the kitchen has cup
boards and glazed shelving and two
arched doorways. one into the cold
room and the other into the scullery.
The sink is at the south end, con-
venient to the pot closet, and at the
north end Is a built-in chest Of draw
ers with counter top. The kitchen to
the top of windows is surfaced with
an inexpensive modern tile brought
from Holland. The trim matches the
body color of the tile and is striped
with blue. The low base and the win

Difficult Points
In Design Puzzle
"FIat'' Builders
Apartment Dwelling Must
Satisfy Demands of
Occupants.

Interior arrangement of large apart
ment buildings has proved difficult
problam, rental prices being considered.
When apartment builders find they
must place q certain number OF apart
ments in a building of certain cubic
content to make the investment a sue
cessful one, there arises naturally, the
problem of getting all the necessary
rooms of each apartment in its proper
place.
For instance, reports come from one
apartment tenant about a very poorly
designed kitchen that was to be found
in one apartment that was otherwise
eminently satisfactory to him, and in
an apartment building that was equally
as satisfactory But the kitchen was
laid out so that the only place for the
refrigerator was at one end OF the small
kitchen opposite the kitchen sink.
This room was designed to be one OF
those handy places where extra steps
were not wasted. Difficulties arose for
the tenant, however, when it was found
that ice for the refrigerator could not
be placed in the box because the door
on the box could not be opened wide
because it collided with the kitchen
sink.
In other words. It was necessary for
the tenant to obtain a top" icer box
if the ice box drain was to be used.
Such small points in the design OF
apartments become large in the eyes
OF tenants and, therefore, such features
are being given more serious attention
by builders.

FARLEY Will SEEK
REALTY TAX RELIEF
Suggestions to BE Received

Taxation of real estate will be the
chief topic of discussion at the tenth
annual convention of the Virginia Real

announced today following a conference
of LIE Roy E. Brown, jr., of Richmond,

questions.
The convention opens with the an

Board to the most proficient golfer. The
executive committee will convene with
the local real estate board presidents
and secretaries in the evening.
The convention gets down to business
on Friday, October Is, and will devote
the entire morning to sales talks. For
this session three outstanding realtors
will be asked to prepare addresses COW
ering the most advanced and modern
methods of. salesmanship. The s-,ter-
noon will be given over to discussion
of the Virginia real estate license law
and to discussion of methods for
strengthening the association through
out the State.
Friday evening will see the home
town speech contest, one OF the high
lights of the convention.
Saturday, the last day of the c,nven-
ton, will be given exclusively TO an eX-
haustive study of real estate tax meas
ures and possible relief. Each of the
IL realty boards in the Stale will pre-
sent suggestions for relieving real estate
from at least part of the burden it Is
now carrying.
The program indicates that the sug-
gestions will be sifted and those APP
pearing to be the best will be referred
to committee to perfect a plan of
action to scure the adoption of the
methods that will give real estate the

Building in d. c.
Rents Are Lowered or
Kept From Increasing
by Surplus.

Mass production of apartments that
has been in progress here in the past
10 years has had q two-fold bene-
fetal effect upon apartment tenants.
First, the creation of something OF
surplus in apartment space on the mar
ket has lowered rentals in some cases
and in others has kept prices from
rising, due TO the relation between
supply and demand for such rental
space.
owners of older apartment build
ings have been forced to install new
conveniences that the newer buildings
boasted and, further, in many cases old
buildings have been revamped through
out.
New type walls have been laid over
old plaster in some cases. and in others
new flooring has been laid down, new
floor coverings provided in corridors
and general refurnishing ordered as
means of continuing to interest ten
ants in such buildings.
