KITCHEN NOW
COMPACT ROOM
Modern Workshops Re-
place Old Rambling Idea.

The great rambling kitchen of
yesterday has been replaced by a
compact, colorful workshop where
the housewife Of today can arrange
her furniture and supplies in the
most convenient manner.
An important time-saver is the
built-in ironing board that can be
pulled down at a moments notice
and popped back into the wall
when not in use. OF help, too, is
the breakfast nook which comes in
variety of designs, ready to in
stall. For limited space, there is a
kind that folds back into the wall
when not in use. Sometimes by re-
moving a partition, a pantry or
closet can be converted into an at
tractiVe nook where the family can
enjoy the first meal of the day.
Numerous built-in cupboards and
other suitable equipment to meet
the homemakers' demands can be
obtained at all lumber dealers.

CHANGE IN
FEDERAL RULES
Architects Head Says u. S.
Is Poor DESIGNER.

The American Institute of Arch
fleets, with the support of the ma
TONS building industry, will seek
the enactment of congress legisla-
ton to check what is described as
the rapid growth of governmental
bureaucy," says Louis LIE Beaume
of st. Louis, chairman of the insti-
tute's committee of public works.
The government of the United
States" La Beaume says, SIS no
more qualified to design our build
ingS than to paint our pictures or
write our books"
The institute asks that the de-
signing of public buildings be en-
trusted to the nations ablest archi-
tects, and that the activity of the
office of the supervising architects
of the treasury department be
limited to supervision.

FLUSH VALVE
SAVES WATER
Greater Flow Required for
Bathroom Convenience.

Can I have a flush valve in my
bath room?
The answer depends on the VOL
ume of water available for the flush
valve, which requires at least a
one-inch connection. While this is
easily obtained in new constructions.
in old houses it is sometimes neces-
sary to resort to various devices to
increase the flow of water, particu-
larly if the supply pipe running
from the water main in the street
to the water meter in the basement
is only f1ve-eighths or three fourthS
OF an inch in diameter.
Many plumbing contractors find
that range boiler tank used for
pressure and placed in the attic or
basement of a house is the best and
most convenient method of increas-
ing the flow of water where the sup
ply pipe is less than an inch in
diameter.
Saving of water and the relatively
small space required are advan-
tages.

Famous Names of Past Are
Linked With Property
Holdings.

Almost all noted private fortunes
that have remained intact for four
Or five generations were built on
investments in business real estate,
says the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, commenting on
today's opportunities in real estate
investments.
The most famous of these for
tunes were started with modest in
vestments that were increased and
increased until they totaled mil
lions. No depressions, past or pres
ent, stopped them.
The association quotes on this
subject M. w. lilies of Davenport,
Ia, who collected the following ex-
amples:
Nicholas Longworth was born in
Newark, N. j., migrated to Cincin-
natl. where he studied law. Long
worth's first client was accused of
horse stealing. The man was &C
quilted, but had no money, so Long
worth accepted two copper stills as
his fee. These stills were traded
by Longworth to Goel Williams for
thirty three acres of then I'M
promising land in Cincinnati. Long
before his death this land was val
ued at $2.O00,00O.
From time to time, Longworth
purchased more land with the
money he made in law. In 1853
his estate, in realty holdings, was
valued at $15,000,O00.
Nicholas Longworth's grandson
married President Roosevelt's
daughter. Robert Roosevelt, uncle
of the famous President, founded
his fortune on business property.
81. C. Wendell of New York City
invested the profits of his fur bust
ness in commercial real estate. This
property recently was valued at
500, 100000.
John Jacob Astor worked his way
from Waldorf, Germany, down the
Rhine to America. When he died
his real estate holdings amounted to
$20000,000. Twenty-seven years
later when his son, w. B. Astor, died
in 1875, the Aston properties were
reputed to be worth one hundred
million. w. B. Aston bought so
much real estate that he was known
as the landlord of New York The
Astor fortune still is invested in real
estate today.
peter Goelet was an ironmaster
during and after the American
Revolution, and the profits from his
business went into real estate. He
left $500,000 to his son, Peter, who
increased it to $25,000,000 through
the purchase of New York City land.
In 1912 the Goelet fortune totaled
$5O00OO,OO0.

nounced by the National Associa-
ton Of Real Estate Boards.
The purpose is to put the best
present information actively at
work
The committee will act through
and with a new network Of local
committees expected to be set up
by member boards in some $50
cities. The whole machinery will
be one through which housing
needs in each community may be
studied.
Centering on local needs, it will
back the conference findings and
aid their immediate practical appli-
cation.
Will Be Cleaning House

velopment Of more satisfactory
housing the committee will have an
active four-fold coordination: %
with the Presidents conference; (2)
with the real estate boards; 80
with other organized groups in the
field of planning, construction and

SHORTER Day,
MORE MEN IS
TRIED IN WEST
California Builders Work
Plan of Two 5-Hour
Shifts.

To double the number of men
employed, working day of two
shifts of five hours each in the
construction industry is advocated
by the California State Chamber
of Commerce, through the recently
organized California Building Con-
gress. Already inaugurated in San
Francisco, the plan, its sponsors
hope, will spread to other parts of
the country. and aid in relieving
widespread idleness in the building
field.
The congress has found that Ia
Dor working five hours a day &C
tually is producing more work per
hour than on the eight-hour basis,
according to Frederick H. Meyer of
San Francisco, director Of the Amer
lean Institute of Architects, and
chairman of the northern section of
the congress.
Labor Cost Reduced
Thus, he pointed out in an appeal
for cooperation sent to all mem
bers Of the congress, the decreased
labor cost will offset any charges
resulting from the changing of
shifts. The arrangement contem-
plates an intermission of half an
hour between shifts.
Employers and employees" Meyer
says, ARE agreed that the two five
hour shifts plan can be applied
with advantage to all concerned,
carpenters, laborers, excavators,
truck drivers and bricklayers, with
perhaps a few minor exceptions.
The five-hour shift was adopted
in preference to the four-hour
shift, it being felt that four hours
pay would not provide a living in
come.
Provides Fifty Hour Week
1.-THE plan will provide fifty
hour week as opposed to a forty
eight hour week under the univer-
sally adopted f1ve-day week. 1t is
obvious that this will effect a saw
ing in overhead to the contractor
and also will deliver the building to
the owner in a shorter period of
time, which will be reflected in the
return on the investment.
"The Bay District Council of Car
penterS, in conjunction with the
leading contractors of San Fran
cisco, has officially Endorsed the five
hour shift plan, which on Jan. 18
became effective, covering all the
carpentry work in the War Memoir
ial building in the San Francisco
Civic Center"

old HOME MAY
Be MODERNIzED
AT SMALL. COST
Slight Changes Needed to
Bring Added Comfort
and Cheer.

e Every one prefers an attractive,
modern home to one that is old
fashioned. Many owners would like
to improve old dwellings If they
knew how to go about it. To help
such people get started, here are
listed eight practical suggestions
one or all of which may be under
taken with the assurance that the
comfort and value of the home will
be increased.
Most people like a large living
room. BY tearing out a partition
or two it often is possible to con-
vert two of the small rooms in an
older house into one large room.
A new grouping of windows may
help to give the enlarged room a
modern note.
Plastered archways or French
doors to replace single doors be-
tween adjoining rooms will help to
counteract an out-of-date atmo-
sphere. New hardwood floors, too,
will do much for old interiors.
Attic May Be Used
The attic provides a splendid OPP
portunity for an extra room. One
Of the several board products on the
market may be used to line the
walls and ceilings and keep furnace
heat in during cold winter days and
also protect the entire home from
the hot summer sun Such board
supplies an attractive interior fin
ish and is simple and economical to
apply. The room may be used as
a bedroom, sewing room, workshop,
or play room for the children.
Sometimes the addition of
couple of dormers will not only
make attic rooms lighter and more
pleasant. but it also will give the
roof line of an old dwelling just the
touch it needs to improve it.
Another economical way to add
an extra room is by inclosing and
insulating an open porch. A day
bed or studio couch will provide ex-
ira sleeping facilities for emergen-
cies.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-15

By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Bridge League
 Contract bridge is partner shin game, and therefore, to play 1t successfully, it is necessary to learn a bidding system. Naturally. the most enjoyment will be derived from a system that can be under stood by the greater majority or players.
 This you will find true of the one over one system,( as 1t employs only natural card inferences. 4 brief summary of~the system and some of the finer tactics that are employed is given in to-day's ar- ticle.
 A players skill at contract bid- ding depends. upon his ability to classify correctly the various bids. Therefore. before making bid. try fo picture the message 1t will con- vey No partner and particularly whether or not it will force or in vite him to continue the bidding. A brief summary of the one over one system is as follows:
 First and second nanu oIaeiHas bids are made with strong hands and show not only strength Tn high cards, but also a definite re-bid. :,
 Third hand may open very ligat --it is the ideal position to employ psychic bid.
 A fourth hand original bid Is made with less strength than that required to make an original nrst or second hand bid.
 Y An original bid of one no trump shows at least three. and probably four, suits stopped. It further shows hand that will probably gain an extra trick by being led up } to rather than through. It does not deny a biddable four-card suit. It Is q constructive bid and invites partner to continue bidding.
 An original bid of one of a suit shows hand that is willing to become the dummy if tho hand is to be played nt no trump, and first or second hands 1t Is q constructive bid inviting partner to keep the

bidding open with very little strength.
 An original bid of two no trump shows all four suits stopped and guarantees partner a five-card suit as rood as the A J K with wnich to work. It is a forcing bid.
 An original bid of two of suit shows hand of tremendous strength and guarantees game even though partners hand Is trickiess. It further shows a hand that can become the dummy. especially 1T played at a no trump contract.
 It is forcing bid and places an obligation on both partners to con tinue bidding until the final decla- ration is a game-going contract.
 
 An original bid of three no trump shows a hand top-heavy with high card tricks. Rather than asking for information from part ner, it endeavors to give partner 2 complete picture of the hand. However, 1t is not forcing bid.
 An original bid of three of a suit shows a hand of tremendous strength and guarantees 6diuc CVS' though partners hand Is trickless. It further shows a hand that wants to be the declarer and has no de- sire to play the hand at no trump. It is a forcing bid, asking partner to show an ace If he holds one, Tn the hope that slam may be reached.
 An original bid of four or five of suit is made with a hand con- taining a long trump suit and no defensive strength. It is pre- emptive bid and is made solely to shut out the opponents, but 1t must be remembered that 1t also shuts partner out. It is a much abused bid and care should be taken not to make this bid too frequently.
 What to do when the opponents have opened the bidding is always problem with the beginner at contract, and this will be ex- plained in to-morrow's article,
