DETACHED HOMES
MOVE IS PLANNED
Model at Seventh Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue to
Be Inspiration.

Indorsed by the Washington Cham
Der Of Commerce, movement to en-
courage the building of low-priced de-
tached homes of high standard in the
District will get under way next week
under the auspices of the Washington
Home Building League, with the con-
struction of a small model home at
the southeast corner of Seventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue.
Having for its objective the stimula-
tion of employment as well as buSi-
ness in the building materials trades,
the display house will demonstrate ad-
vanceS made in small-house conStruc-
ton and equipment and the practica-
bility of securing high-class small
house design, finish and furnishings
at reasonable cost.
Pledges of Cooperation.
Rossel Edward Mitchell, we'll known
local architect, who is chairman of
the newly organized league, said a
number of leading business houses have
pledged their cooperation in the con-
struction of the model home, which will
be built on land loaned for the pur-
pose by the United States Government
Labor and material for the house is
being donated.
I'VE anticipate the enterprise will do
much to bring about re-employment in
Washington with consequent resump-
tion of purchasing power" Mr.. Mitch
ell said today. More than $4,000
has been subscribed in labor and ma
terials alone"
Not a Duplication.
The effort, Mr.. Mitchell said, is not
intended to be a duplication of the
work now being done by the RenoYize
Washington Campaign Committee. The
movement to encourage repairs and
remodeling of existing structures. he
believes. is both timely and important,
but there is a need also for small de-
tached homes.
The league plans to conduct at the
model house, when it is completed, an
information service for prospective
home buyers The site on which the
house is being built has been placed
at the disposal of the league for one
year
Headquarters of the league are at
Room 231, Woodward Building.

Termites-those insidious. ant-like

hitherto assumed to be immune. New
York City, Philadelphia. and other
cities in the Midatlantic States are dis

Termites tunnel upward from the
ground, performing amazing engineer

cellulose material, which is their sol2
diet. Wood in contact with moist
ground is the termites" favorite dish
Working beneath the surface of tbs
wood, they destroy its strength before
their presence is suspected Floors

helpless before the termite attack unless
protection is built into the house.
While it is possible to treat woods
chemically to make them distasteful tc

structural material is the best security

WOOD CONNECTORS
TO AID INDUSTRY
New Device Deserves Close
Study, Declares D. C..
Lumber Leader.

Every angle Of the application of
modern connectors for timber construc-
ton should be given the closest scrutiny
by producers Of hard woods as we'll as
soft woods" says William NJ Ritter Of
this city, vice president of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association.
This connector system. recently in
trcduced by the National Committee
on Wood Utilization of the Department
OF Commerce and the Forest Products
Laboratory. strengthens the weakest
part OF any wood structure from four
to eight times.
New Field Opened.
This in reality means that an en-
tirely new field has been opened UP
for the use of wood, not only in con-
struction but also in the industrial field
There are innumerable opportunities
for their use. such as in the construc-
tion Of agricultural implements, ma
chinery, automobile body construction
heavy boxes and crates, laminated
flooring and for certain types of fur
niture. Practically every woodworking
shop Is confronted with the problem
OF strengthening wood joints. These
connectors will solve many Of these
problems"
Rigidity Doubled.
The connectors are said to double
the rigidity Of wooden structures and
they are therefore finding a wide field
OF usefulness in all cases where the
connectors are apt to take up the play
in bolted joints
Coming at this time when the entire
lumber industry is disheartened with
seemingly insurmountable obstacles. the
modern connector system is infusing
new life into the industry. The mod
ern connector system will do for the
lumber industry what the electrical
welding system did for the steel pro-
ducers," Mr.. Ritter concludes.

REMOVAL is URGED
Chase National Bank Head Says

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Efforts to remove world tariff and
war debt barriers, TO relieve "strangled
international trade" were urged before
the Senate Finance Committee today
by Winthrop w. Aldrich, president of
the Chase National Bank of New York.
Appearing in the committees survey
Of economic difficulties and possible
curative steps, Aldrich suggested gen.
eral program including:
Continuation of emergency credit re-
lief through the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation.
Additional emergency credit relief for
farm and city mortgage debtors, with
the Governments share limited Ito
what is necessary to persuade creditors
to make the necessary adjustments"
Maintenance of the gold standard and
sound money"
Reduced Federal expenditures.
Aldrich opposed "bi-metalism, Nor any
heavy addition of silver to the currency
base, and objected sharply to imitation
airy moves.
He said he would favor additional
taxes If necessary to balance the budget,
but he urged sharp cuts In veterans
benefits, the reorganization and con-
solidation of Federal agencies as main
ways to reduce governmental costs.
AS a basis for tariff revision, Aldrich
advocated reciprocal trade and tariff
agreements. He did not offer specific
plan for settling war debts.
