Comfort and Safety in
Properly Built House

Twenty years ago fire-safe construc-
ton was concidered an expensive lux
ury. Today inf,ammable construction
il as out of date as whip sockets
yet the average builder of houses goes
blithely on, designing and building
houses that will burn. John Smith,
1880, knows that fire safety is mex
pensive, but he gets little encourage
ment.
The really modern 1880 house con-
tains no waste space, but it is not
cramped. 1t welcomes sunlight and
insists on ventilation at all seasons
and cleanliness under all circum-
stances. 1t Incorporates room for a
garage and does it without fire haz-
ard. 1t is INTELLECTUALLY simple
(neither quaint" nor bizarre in ex-
IRENE 'moderne" style). And in spite
of spectators, it is meant to last.
Such home can be built today.
PROSPECTIVE builders reasonlhl,
insist on it. And as it is proved that
1890 folks need not put up with 1910
homes, home building will be on the
road to revival.-Exchange

Reautifx Cities and Town,

Our cities should be kept in the
best condition possible. Streets make
or mar city or town. Holes should
be filled in when they appear in the
streets. Good drainage is very i'm
portant. Weeds should be kept cut
and grass should be planted along the
sidewalks.
Roads leading into the cities should
have advertisements about various
business houses. Bridges should be
kept up toTprevent detours. A petty,
clean road leading into the city at
tracts tourists. beautiful park with
flowers, trees, and recreation oppor-
tunities attracts crowd.
A city should have a good water
system. Cans for trash and paper
should be conveniently placed, and
should be used. Telephone lines and
poles should be kept in good condl-
ton, and old posters should be torn
off and destroyed as soon as useless.
Glaring advertisements do not add to
a city's attractiveness.-Gr

Une7viable Status of
Jackaroo in Australia

The name "jackaroO" was given to
youth Gent by his parents to an
Australian sheep or cattle station to
learn stock and bush work. As he re-
sided and had his meals with the
manager, oyerseer and storekeeper,
but had to work with the station
hands, he was generally looked upon
as a useless nuisance until he learned
things. Having no special job and no
status, he was given any job of work,
hence a Jack Of all work"

Timber Problem Solution?

1t is recognized, says the Ameri-
can Tree association. that the forest
resources of tropical America may
be very important factor in our do
nestle timber problem. Some be-
lieve that those forests will be called
upon to bridge the hiatus that is
bound to exist between the exhaus-
ton of our wild timber crop, and the
harvest time of our man-managed
forests. Others believe that they
will form a permanent source of
timber to replace some of our own
special purpose hardwoods.
All are agreed that, in any case,
we cannot fully and completely out
line our own forestry problem with
out taking into consideration all the
factors that may influence the out
come.

Realtors See Benefit
in Longer City Blocks


Radical lengthening of present typi-
cal city blocks is strongly advised as
a measure for cutting down the costs
OF home ownership in a resolution
which was adopted by the board of
directors Of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards at their quar-
terly meeting held in Chicago.
The resolution puts the realtors of
the country on record as favoring res
idential blocks 1000 feet or more in
length. The general use of the motor
car now permits a radical frightening
of blocks in residential areas in keep
Ing with present-day convenience and
economy, the resolution points out,
and goes on to give the following rea-
sons which make advisable this in
creased length in laying out blocks in
residential districts:
Substantial economies in the use of
the land can be obtained. Longer
blocks mean reduced street area In
relation to total area.
Frequent crossings invite personal
accidents. delay traffic and increase
the problem of traffic and pedestrian
supervision.
Longer blocks not only aid in speed
ing up traffic movement but also con-
tribute a semisuburban effect of
beauty.

Powder Lacquers Your Car

Few people know that the lacquer
which CLEANS on the bodies of thou
sands of automobiles today may have
once been on the point of hurtllng a
shell many miles into space or blow
ing up trench, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
The conversion Of millions of
pounds of powder left over from the
war into industrial finishing products
was the unusual story told recently
to the American Chemical society by
II. G. Woodbridge of the Du Pont
company. The new cellulose lac
quers, he said, bear so close a rela-
ton, chemically. to the nitrocellulose
base of smokeless powder that
changing the war product into
a peace product is comparatively
easy.

Charm in colorsd Mortar

Many world-famous brick buildings
owe the charm of their exteriors to
the color harmony between brick and
mortar This same harmony can be
had in the smallest residential build
ings.
With the older buildings this was
sometimes due to the sand used, and
in other cases to the mellowing influ-
ence of age. However, either effect
may be produced today through the
coloring matter in the mortar. Mortar
colors cost but little. yet they often
contribute as much to the fine appear
ance Of brick home as any other
single item. They are available in a
wide range of colors.

Gull Crosses Atlantic

A black-headed gull from Europe
has been found among the native
gulIs of Newburyport, near Boston.
1t is the first of its species ever re-
corded in North America, and the
only explanation for its appearance
there is that it must have flown
across the Atlantic. The suggestion
has been advanced that the gull was
driven out to sea by a gale, and
then, being unable to return to land,
flew right across the ocean. 1t has
now been captured and placed on ex-
hibition at the Museum of Natural
History in Boston.

Attractive Highways

The rapid building of highways in
America for several years was al
lowed to remain what seemed to be a
virtual invitation to a kind Of cheap
commercialism TO make these thorough
fares lanes of ugliness. Indifference
and neglect of property owners along
the highways contributed to the I'M
sightliness. But the tide, here and
there If not generally. is turning in the
other direction. Through organized
and individual effort, through official
and citizen enterprise, movement for
attractiveness is being pushed forward.

~ FFICERS Of the National League
of American Pen Women are
now engaged in completing
~ plans for the fifth biennial
convention of the league, which
will be held in this city from April 81
to April IS, inclusive, at the Willard
Hotel, where the national head quarters
of the organization Vas been located
since october, 1927.
To carry on the routine work Of the
organization, which now numbers about
500 professional women writer's artists
and composers, the league utilities the
services Of two paid secretaries and oc-
cupies a two-roOm office for the trans
action of It's business and the housing
of its important files. Mrs. Mabel H.
Pittle. who has been with the league
for more than five years, was promoted
20 the position of executive secretary ut
the beginning of the present admins
tration in 1928, and has one assistant.
Organized In 1897 in this city, under
the leadership of famous newspaper
woman Of that period, Mrs. Margaret
Sullivan Burke. the league has MAIN
tanned its national headquarters in the
National Capital since that date, grow
ing from little group of II charter
members to its present roster Of nearly
$500, with branches in almost every
state of the Union.
The twenty-fourth president, Mrs.
Clarence NJ. Busch. was elected in April,
1928. and will complete her two-year
term Of ONCE this coming April. The
bylaws of the organization do not per-
NIT Of the reelection Of any national
oficer to succeed herself in the same
ONCE, except after the interval of two
years. Consequently Mrs. Busch will
automatically retire from ONCE at the
coming convention. She Is extremely
popular throughout the league, and her
administration has the credit Of having
forwarded the movement toward q ma
tional club house to q very great degree,
proposed building, which Is to be a me-
mortal to American women of genius.
The site chosen Is beautiful bluff on
the Potomac in Georgetown, on which
now stands the old home of Mrs. Z. d.
u. N. Southworth, famous nineteenth
century novelist Of this city.
The purchase price has been very
largely liquidatsd by the present admin
istration. In the raising of funds, the
various branches throughout the coun-
try are enthusiastically cooperating.
Donations have been received from in
dividuAl members of the league and
also from those outside its membership
who are interested In the work Of the
organization; and Washington residents.
particularly, through their support of
the celebrity breakfasts of the national
league, given last year and this year,
have aided in an especially appreciate
manner the amassing Of the club house
fund
At this coming convention. the full
roster of administrative officers will be
elected. together with 81 State vice
presidents. Some important changes in
the bylaws will also be brought before
the convention, as amendments have
been suggested by various branches and
individuals and will be submitted by the
chairman of the bylaws committee,
Mrs. Agnes M. Newman.
