DEAR MISS FA1HFAA.
I am a daily reader of your

a year and six months steady.
and we love each other more
than anything in the world.
And it's not puppy love, either.
Why I'd give up my life for
her. But her mother and
father are coming between us.
They tell her no. to go out
with me because of our ma
tionality. She is German and
I am italian, but we are both
American born. They always
pick on her. But we Cont want
to break up because we mean
so much to each other. They
always make her feel unhappy.
and when I see her that way
it breaks my heart. Tell me if
nationality must come between
us. Please. Thank you. N. E.

Doors in the entire house
popped open and frightened
faces of women and children
peered out, and then the doors
slammed shut.
Biff Glasson took the steps
three at a time. Hungry Joe
and his men had come up the
stairs just as the two MCClosky

jumped back through the door,
but not before Hungry Joe and
three others got inside. Some

and the eight men irside began

of Hungry Joe lying on the

Biff cracked one on the head

fell back with a moan. He made

up the iron ladder to the roof

A WARREN DEVELOPMENT
IN CHEVY CHASE 1VeV

In selecting your home, the matter of location
Is of prime Importance.
Choose a section that is far enough from the
center of the city to avoid the heat, dust and
noise of urban activity, and yet within a
reasonably short drive to the downtown busi-
and shopping districts, smooth, we'll
paved, pleasant streets.
Give thought, also, to transportation by bus
and street They often great
venence, and many people prefer to them
to avoid downtown parking difficulties.
Those acquainted with the growth of Wash
ington in the past decade know that the definite
trend of new homes of the better class is
strongly toward that section of Chevy Chase
lying west of Connecticut Avenue between
Chevy Chase and Columbia Country Clubs. In
selecting such locality for your home you
assured attractive surroundings and enhancing
value.
You will be delighted to find how perfectly
Meadowbrook meets the most exactine
qurements desires in the matter of location.

able. The Exhibit Home is open every day
from l to 9 pm. and all day Sunday.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
TORONTO, July 12.-Specific ways in
which the costs of home building may
be reduced in the future were described
before the National Association OF Real
Estate Boards, in convention here TINS
week, by Ernest P. Goodrich, consulting
engineer of New York City and presi-
dent of the Research Institute for Eco
nomic Housing.
He suggested such radical departures
as the use of metal walls, aerated con-
crete, steel frames in combination with
cork slabs. compressed fibrous material,
such as straw or reeds, and bath rooms
and staircaseS built as unit in the
factory. He also proposed more eco
nomical city planning.
The use of thin metal walls alone
would. save approximately 5 per cent,
and if 10 such savings be made-and
that seems entirely within actual pos
sibility-a so per cent reduction could
be made on the present cost OF nome
building, Mr.. Goodrich said.
Financing costs, as well as conStruc-
ton costs, could be greatly reduced
through development of unit structures
which would enable the erection OF a
house in three days time from whole
rooms taken out of stock, just as child
builds a house of blocks.
President Hoover. Quoted.
Residential building has been nor
nlalIy averaging a total of $4,000 ,000, 900
q, year IN 81 States alone for the past
four or five years. If only one-fourth OF
this amount could be reduced, the saw
ing, through application OF modern re-
search and modern engineering prin-
ciples to home building, would amount
to approximately $700 100000 year
or more than SIS for every man, woman
and child in the United States"
MIR. Goodrich quoted President Hoover
when Secretary of Commerce as stating
that the real solution of the problem
of bringing home ownership within the
reach of the widest proportion Of the
population probably lies in some radi-
cal departure in house construction ano
economies He stated that this thought
had been adopted as the guiding prin-
ciple of the Research Institute for Eco
nomic Housing and that preliminary
studies lead to the conclusion that il
may b. possible to erect houses equiva.

more than one-half of present conStruc-

of modern research methods TOWARD
lowering the cost of housing, so a!

greatly to widen the possibilities Of
home ownership.
"a reduction in building costs of even
25 per cent would increase the poten-
tial number of l. ONE owners so per
cent" he said. Sound development on
these lines can only be secured through
research comparable to that which has
taken place in such industries as cleo

phone and chemical industries.

by the use. of thin metal walls in
stead of 12-inCh walls Of brick or con-
crete, the total cubage of structure
can be reduced by 8 per cent. If the
cubage remains the same, then the floor
area can be increased approximately 4
per cent.
That the use of metal walls is not
an impractical or wild dream is evil

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO, July 12.-In the next
five years we shall see American busi-
ness men living in suburbs 100 miles
from their Offices and committing back
and forth from home by means of air
transit according to statement by
Jacob L. Crane, jr,. Chicago, city
builders and subdividers' division of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Mr.. Crane declared that such subur-
ban development is bound to come and
that it will mean the opening of vast
amounts of interesting and attractive
land. However, he took occasion to
give the subdividers warning against
the development of land subdivisions
where no definite demand had been
demonstrated for them.
Wherever there is excessive subdivi-
sion of land, resulting in sale of lots
which cannot for some time be used
for building purposes, 1t is obvious that
there is taken out of the market for
at least one generation persons or fami-
lies who would otherwise be prospective
buyers of legitimate property for actual
use, Mr.. Crane pointed out. He pre-
dicted legislation that would establish a
rational basis for limiting the quantity
of land subdivision in a reasonable rela-
tionShip to the actual or prospective
demand and urged the drafting and
support of such legislation.
Mr. Crane told the realtors that the
work of sibdividing is evolving rapidly
along new and generally accepted lines
quite different from the old time rec
tangular plating of land.
Among the essential principles of
modern land subdivision he listed:
Recognition of direct routes for major
highways; along these highways widely
spaced cross-streets, long blocks; few,
if any. houses facing on the major
streets and those few provided with
deep enough lots to set well back from
the traffic; business districts limited in
area according to the population served
and designed to provide their own
parking space; large Fairgrounds or in
terror parks accessible to all the lots
without the necessity for crossing traffic
arteries; school sites located in such a
way as to be safely accessible to a large
enough area to support full school
unit.
