AUT0M0TIVE ASSEMBLY
OF HOMES is PLANNED
Radical Departures From Present
Methods of House Construction
Involved in Proposal.

Plans for the introduction Of auto
motive assembly operations into home
building are announced by a newly
formed Chicago corporation in an arti-
Gle in Architectural Record.
Radical departures from the present
methods Of house construction are in
volved in the plan. The houses would
be made of standard steel panels en-
tirely fabricated in manufacturing
plants, and designed to be erected on
the homesite within period of several
days. The wall panels would be four
feet wide and eight feet high.
The interior would be finished so
that no plastering would be required.
All sections would be insulated The
walls would be self-supporting so that
no frame would be required.
The plan calls for a sale price of
$4,000, payable on an installment ar
rangement. This house plan is for a
one-story building, containing five main
rooms and bath. The roof would be

SILVER STAR HOME
ENTERS LAST WEEK.
Dwelling in Spring Valley to
Be Open to Public II
Hours Daily.

The fourth week of the exhibition of
the Silver Star dwelling at 4915 Hill
brook lane, Spring Valley, which was
awarded a place in the better homes
demonstration sponsored by The Star,
| begins tomorrow. This will be the last
week of its period of public showing
under these auspices and offers ample
opportunity for other hundreds of visi-
! tors to make an inspection of its many
interesting features.
The house will be open daily from
! 10 am. to 8 pm. The home is reached
by driving out Massachusetts, avenue
to Wisconsin avenue, then left along
Cathedral avenue through Wesley
Heights to the entrance of Spring VAL
ley and then right at the next inter-
section, lockwood parkway, to Forty
ninth street turning right there to
Hillbrook lane.
One of the particularly interesting
unusual features of this house is the
child's play room on the second floor,
in the right wing over the library. This
room has two exposures, with three
windows to provide ample light and air,
and is fitted with furniture for chill
dren, including a small table, cabinet
and chairs. Also, in the space between
the front walls of the room and the
two front 6ormer windows there is
space for the handy storage of the
child's toys, easily reached by the
youngster when he wants them and
which affords a convenient place for
storage when bedtime arrives.
Distinct characteristics.
This room is given distinctly a child's
own room character by the decorative
treatment The walls of the room are
marked by combination of wallpaper
and painting, with the illusion given
of a high picket fence beyond which
can be seen open lawns with houses at
the horizon and with flowers and ducks
appearing just beyond the pickets. The
ceiling is given the appearance Of a
sky with an airplane or two and a
dirigible flying over the play space.
The house, built by w. C. & A. N.
Miller, from plans by its architectural
department, with Gordon E. Mcneil
as consulting architect, reflects the sim
pie lines and domestic atmosphere of
the style of the New England Colonial
homes. The exterior is of brick and
clapboard, painted white, which forms
a bright contrast against the green of
the lawn, the trees and shrubs and
the wooded park area to the rear of
the property.
On the first floor of the house, which
is of center-hall plan, are living room,
library. dining room, serving pantry and
kitchen. There are four bed rooms and
two baths on the second floor and two
additional bed rooms and a bath of
full size on the finished third floor.
There is a guest lavatory at the rear
of the center hall on the first floor, in
the space under the staircase.
There is space for recreation quar-
ters in the basement, in addition to a
laundry room, heating room and two

Credit Need Shown.
These factors show the need for an
additional source of credit for financing
homes. Building and loan associations

of associations managers, with the con-
tingent reserve and undivided profits
accounts showing a gain Of IL per cent
over the May percentages.
"Some Of the undivided profits have
since been distributed in July dividends.
but a larger portion than in other
years will remain in the reserve" Mr.
Whitlock continued. "The reserves now

ties, covering by a substantial margin

VIII Help Upturn.
Gall Of the statistics on these balance
sheets show a need for the permanent
reserve system for longtime mortgage
money embodied in the home loan bank
bill. These same figures show that a
substantial increase of business activity
will result from its enactment every
place where a building and loan asso-
ciation Is operating. One look at the

j. s. CLERKS GET
TIME OFF TO VOTE
Commerce Department Only
Major Agency Rejecting
Leave Arrangement.

Bureau of Engraving and War De-
partment employees in the District were
notified today they would be excused
without loss of pay, for two hours on
Election day to enable them to cast
their ballots in nearby points of Vir-
ginia and Maryland.
These orders closely followed the de-
cision late yesterday by officials Of the
Government Printing Office that the
plant would be closed all day Tuesday
to allow employees an opportunity to
vote Inasmuch as the printing plant
is on a five-day week schedule. the usual
officials said.
The Engraving Bureaus order came
from the Treasury Department, which
two days ago decided to allow all de-
partment employees two hours after 2:30
pm in which to exercise their suf-
frage privilege.
Orders Withheld.
The Post Office and Agriculture De-
partments were reported today as being
in favor of the plan, but as yet no
official order in either department has
been issued. Opinion was expressed at
the Post Office Department all effort
would be made to "get-out-the-vote"
among the employees.
Decisions were also expected to be
reached shortly on the part-time leave
for voting purposes by the Federal
Trade Commission, Office of the con-
troller and the Library of Congress.
These are the only three independent
bureaus that have not yet issued orders.
The Commerce Department is the only
major agency that has rejected the
plan. Officials of this department
pointed out that a brief holiday had
not been granted employees in previous
elections and they saw no reason why
such a movement should be favored
now.
Payne Publishes Order.
Acting Secretary of War Payne made
public the necessary order today, set
ting aside the hours between and II
m or after 2:30 pm. for those War
Department employees who wish to be
excused from duties to cast their ballots.
For those who wish longer time to go
to their home States to vote, permission
will be granted irrespective of party"
the order stated, "the time so absent
to be charged against annual leave au-
thorized by law, or, if leave is exhaust
ed, the time absent will be without
pay"
So far as practicable, employees in the
various field services of the department
who desire to vote at the places where
they are employed will be granted a
two-hour absence without charge, as to
employees in the District.

Economy Act Cuts
i. S. Workers and
Jurors Is Per Cent
Paw Reduction of Latter
Amounts to Nearly
5000 Monthly.

The pay of jurors and Government
witnesses has been cut 25 per cent, it
was learned today with the sending of
checks from the Office of United States
Marshal Edgar c. Snyder for the Oc-
tober bills.
The new economy act cut the pay of
jurors from 81 per day to SO and the
compensation of Government witnesses
from 81 to Sl.50 per day. Witnesses
brought from out of the city will be
allowed only their mileage and witness
fees and must care for themselves when
detained here for the course of a
lengthy trial. The economy bill sound
ed the death knell to the old subsis-
tence allowance of mot more that SIS
per day"
As there are 156 jurors in District
Supreme Court. 80 in Police Court and
So in Municipal Court serving an aver
age of days a week, the monthly
saving from the pay reduction amounts
to nearly $780, There is no way of
calculating the total saving from the
reduction of pay of witnesses and the
deprivation of subsistence allowances.
