ITS to 1925.

| Furnishings of the American Colo
NAL and contemporary English style of
It's to 1925 provide pleasing interior
treatment to the English group house
at 1909 Forty-fourth street, the second
OF the series OF 1880 Star model homes,
now on display. It was erected for the
exhibition by Waverly Taylor, Inc,

whose wallpaper design is a copy of an
early hand-blocked piece of wallpaper.
Up step from the hall level, the
visitor enters the living room, across the
front of the house, with walls of a
Colonial yellow, which repeats in its
character the background of the hall
paper. The woodwork of the room is
| toned to match the wall treatment.
Curtains Add Warmth.
At the small-paned windows curtains
| of an old English chintz with flowers
OF apricot and corn yellow and blue
green foliage on a mahogany ground
give warmth and set the color scheme
for the room and for the house. It
covers also a wing chair at the foot of
the stairway. A large overstuffed sofa
in green stands near it against the
wall with pillows of the lowered chintz
and others of deep mahogany satin.
Above it, portrait of an early Amer
lean gentleman gives another rich note
of color in the deep copper red drapery
of its background. Thanking the sofa
are tables, a round one with a tripod
base and a smaller table with drawers
these are copies of originals by Dun
can Phyfe.
The fireplace shows exquisite detail
in its carving. Above 1t hangs a cir
cular convex mirror in a dull gold
frame. This mirror reflects the Shera-
ton secretary against the opposite wall.
This piece is flanked by chairs of Chip
pendale design, covered in copper bro
catelle, color once more taken from
the chintz.
Facing the sofa, on one side Of the
fireplace, is an armchair of the Martha
Washington design covered in stripe
combining the mahogany and green
tones of the chintZ. Nearby a simple
side chair is silhouetted against the
wall, where hang old prints and sil-
houetteS
Through a wide arch one may go up
green carpeted steps to the second floor
or passing high grandfather clock
step into the dining room, the double
| the wooded ravine beyond.
Use Old-Fashioned Wallpaper.
True to the Colonial tradition, the
dining room has a dado with a simple
chair rail, above which is a landscape
paper in cream and soft green tones.
The dado below the chair rail Is painted
the same shade of soft green and gives
an interesting color effect. The furni-
ture in this room is in copy of Duncan
Phyfe pieces.
The walls of the master bed room
are covered in an old-fashioned wall

The apartment house height change,
sponsored by the architects and build
ers, Is designed to permit the construc-
ton OF taller apartments which have
been proved by statistics to be more
popular among tenants than the four
and five story structures now permitted
in 60-foot height areas. In other words,
while the two types of buildings would
have approximately the same bulk, I'M
der the new proposal they would be
taller but smaller in floor area rather
than low and bulky. This would pro-
vide for larger lawns about the build
ingS and for more corner apartment
suites, due to the additional floors.
Thus, it is stated, more light and air
would be provided. Builders report that
1t Is cheaper to erect tall building
than lower, wider and deeper struc-
ture of the same cubic content.
This amendment would read: "In
the residential, 60-foot G area district
on streets ITO feet or more in width,
buildings may be erected to any height
not to exceed 80 feet, provided that for
each S feet, or fraction thereof, above
so feet, the allowable Lot occupancy
shall be reduced by per cent of the
total lot area, and provided further that
paragraph l. section 10, shall not APP
ply to such a building (this relating to
an exemption from the side yard re-
quirement).
The second amendment up for con-
sideration reads:
I'm the first commercial district, a
vacant lot may be used for the tenn
porary parking of cars, provided no re-
pairing or servicing is permitted and no
gasoline, oil or grease sold, and pro-
vided further, that when the permit is
issued there are on file with the Com
missioners of the District the written
consents of the owners of rs per cent

REVEALS VERY
LITTLE RUM

The Special House Committee
which recently went, to Florida
TO determine the need for ap.
preparations to eradicate the Med.
1terranean fruit fly learned,
among other things, that more
Inan 100000 pieces of baggage
examined in the fly infected area
J contained virtually no liquor.
Ine committee also was told
several different stories as to
Wnen and where the fruit fly was
1irSt discovered, according to the
record Of it's hearings made pub
lie today.
representative Woods (R.> of
INDIANA, chairman, has advanced
Cne theory the fly might have
existed In fruit growing sections
OF america for years. He has
strenously opposed large appropri.
a!lons to eradicate the pest, and
MS opposition has resulted in an
originally demanded $26, 900, 900
appropriation being cut to about
%t,OUU,VUO.
one story told the committee
was the fly was first found by
"A, J. c. Goodwin, nursery in
Spector for the State plant board,
on 1ru1t which had fallen from a
Tree. DR.. Wilmon Newell, Florida
pant commissioner, and in charge
oI eradication work for the Federal
government, said the fruit fly
larvae were of the jumping va
rely, which caused Woods to
question its recent origin. Woods
called attention to the fact that
farmers had testified jumping
larvae were known to have existed
IN Florida for half a century but
Dr. Newell declared he had never
seen any jumping larvae save
That of the fruit fly.

How TO Fly
LESSON NO. so
Of The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
AonaA Ill LIZ
AerOnQutical E'nQineer

In today'S lesson we shall con-
tinue our study on trouble-Shoot-
ing. We shall take up the defects
of the aircraft ignition system as
found to be most common today.
Wiring In General
Loose terminals, chafed inSula-
ton or short circuit will be the
cause of misfiring. In the case
of loose terminals. these should
be frightened for remedy, while in
the cases of the short circuit and
chafed insulation, new insulation
will prove necessary.
Magnetic Troubles
In the case the motor misfires
any number of the following de-
fectS may be looked for, either
together or as separate defects:
Dirty oil in the distributor, metal
dust in the distributor or contact
breaker points pitted. The remedy
in all three cases given is the
same, which is simply cleaning.
Engine miSfiring may also be
caused by, worn distributor seq.
ments, broken collecting brush,
broken distributing brush, oil
soaked windings, loose magnets,
breaker points out of proper ad-
juStment, worn contact breaker
cams, weak return spring contact
lever, or loose distributor ter
minalS. Cleaning or replacement
as may be found to be necessary
will be the remedy in most cases.
Weak spark may be caused by
weak magnets. No spark at all
may be found to be caused by
contact lever return spring broken,
sticking contact breaker, dirty
safety spark gap, fused metal at
spark gap or short circuit at
magnetic switch. Cleaning, re-
placement or tightening will
prove to be the necessary in the
cases as given to the student
above. Also, it may be we'll to
remember that these defects and
remedies may also apply in the
case of the modern automobile.
At times the spark will not
cause the compressed charge in
the cylinder to fire, the cause
here, except in very unusual
cases, will prove to be that the
magnetic armature is out of time.
The Washington times., 1930-04-11

! The only remedy is, of course,
to refine. In rare cases, the
motor will not stop after the
switch has been turned off. The
cause may be that ground wire
is broken or that there is an
open circuit on the magnetic
switch.
Cylinder misfiring may be
caused by oil-soaked insulation,
loose terminals, loose wire in in
Sulation. loose Insulation, or
loose electrodes in shell. The
remedy in any case Is either
clean or tighten. Cracked inSula-
ton will make the plug inopera-
tive, however, in this case neV
insulation is necessary for rem
edy. Sometimes gas will leak by
the plug, in which case the plug
may not be sufficiently tight IN
the sylinder, the remedy here is,
Of course, to tighten it.
A loose or broken gaSket will
also cause gas to leak thr ough.
Replacement is in this case
necessary. The gaps on the
plugs may prove, to be either too
far apart or else too close t0-
gether, which in this case the
plugs will not fire regular If at
all. In this case proper setting
is necessary. All plugs. at all
times should be kept in the very
best of condition. Cleaning
should take place at regular in
tervalS. Plugs should be inspected
and should be replaced often to
obtain the very best results. This
instruction also will prove as true
to the automobile owner as we'll
as to the airplane motor me-
chanic.
