HOME MODERNIzATlON
ADDS TO REAL VALUE
Also Tones Up Neighborhood and
Enhances House in Eyes Of
Family.

Home modernization may be q rela-
lively small thing-the substitution of
a fire-safe roof for burnable roof, for
example-or 1t may be extensive, in
volving drastic changes in the arrange
ment, equipment and architecture of
the house.
But whether modernization is a small
or large job, 1t tends Cd to increase
the real value Of the house, (2) to in
crease the owners enjoyment of it, CD
to tone up the whole neighborhood
Gust as a shabby house can depress q
neighborhood), a. to increase the FAM
1ly's appreciation of the house as the
center Of its living, and (5) to make the
home q safer, more convenient place
in which to meet the exacting demands
of today and tomorrow.
One condition, however, governs the
effectiveness of modernization. Unless
the work is done in terms of perma-
nence and as an investment its bene-
fits will be short nved and correspond
ingly Improbable.

rials are delivered to the building lots,
where they undergo virtually every
process which transforms them to in
tegral parts of the finished house. Con-
struction units, manufactured on the
mass-productien hesis, he claimed,
would result in material savings.
The longer city blocks, he explained,
would reduce attendant costs in con-
struction by eliminating the original cost
of frequent cross-street improvements
and the permanent upkeep costs of
those streets. Shorter blocks were ideal,
he admitted, in the horse and carriage
age, when corner lots were sold at q
premium. but with the increased use
of motor vehicles, travelling at higher
speed, and the resultant decrease In the
desirability of corner lots which are in
the traffic danger zone, Mr.. Reaune be-
lieves blocks twice or thrice the present
length would be highly desirable. BY
reducing the number of cross-streets,
tn. realtor president contends, traffic
accidents would also be reduced.

Attacking the short-term mortgages.
Reaume declared that, although COM
monty entered into by purchasers who
know very well they would be unable
to pay of their notes at their maturity,
if called, a real calamity in the entire
real estate world would result If build
ers ever sought to enforce the terms of
the mortgages by demanding complete
payment when specified. Longer life

LONGER BLOCKS
1,000-Foot Length Is Urged
to Cut Down Costs of
Home Ownership.

Radical lengthening of the present
typical 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 di-
rectors of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards at its quarterly
meeting held recently in Chicago.
The resolution puts the realtors of
the country OH record as favoring resi-
length The general use of the motor
car now permits a radical lengthening
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 reasons
which make advisable this increased
length in laying out blocks in residen-
tial districts:
Substantial economies in the use of
the land can be obtained. Longer
blocks means reduced street area in re-
lation to total area
Frequent crossings invite personal ac-
cidents, delay traffic, and increase the
problem of traffic and pedestrian super
vision;
Longer blocks not only aid in speed
ing up traffic movement but also con-
tribute semi-suburban effect Of
beauty;
Reduction of the number of side
streets results in saving to both the
home buyer and subdivider. The burden
of side street paving and utilities costs
is decreased by fewer side streets and
more land is utilizable as result Of
such planning; and
Maintenance and lighting costs of
streets can be reduced. Less frequent
stops will expedite transportation serv-
ice by an amount of time more than
SUFFICIENT to compensate the average
party for the extra walking distance.
The association commends the sug-
gestions for longer blocks to the con-
sideration of local real estate boards,
city planning commissions and city plan
ming engineers.

 And there she has been for sev- eral months, without even her en- semble companions knowing the difference.
 Also there's Miss Ruth Tester, who heads the cast of the second edition of ''The Little Show" and she is the daughter of a prominent New Haven, Conn, banker.
 When Miss Rice, however, ap- peared on Broadway it was under her mothers maiden name. Her real name is Jones and she halls from Texas, where she had been student at Southern Methodist col lege. Unlike so many of the new corners, she did not expect to step right into stardom. In fact, she wa prepared to spend some time et- ting any sort of a chance, realizing that becoming acclmated to audi ence reaction and getting over

 Producers state that they look kindly upon the efforts of young society women because of this atti- tude of humility. They are, invari- ably, girls who have attended thea ter to such an extent that they have no illusions concerning the exactons; whereas, thousands of ambitious, if slightly misguided maidens pound against the gates of Broadway expecting them to open into immediate golden opportuni- ties.
 Miss Rice, by the way. is of the opinion that society girls have proved easily adaptable to the thea ter world and, because of a poise and background, attained before reaching the stage, quickly achieve professional assurance.
