which should be located near a
window. Soaps, irons, etc., should
be kept in a small closet. For
winter or wet weather drying, a
gas-heated cabinet or hanging
space with a small unit heater
containing an electric fan is de-
sirable.
If coal is used for fuel, the bin
should be large enough to hold
a seasons supply and provided
with a good coal chute or win
dow located for easy delivery.
The floor Of the bin should be
pitched toward the boiler room
opening. Walls of the coal bin
should be made dust proof by
painting the joints Of tongued
and grooved boards with white
lead before being put together.
The partitions should fit tightly
against the floor and ceiling and
have a tight door in front of
the ordinary slide boards.
The cool cellar for vegetable
storage should be located on the
shady side of the house and have
a window for ventilation.
The Washington times., 1933-07-22

In the majority of houses
erected, scant attention is unually
given to the cellar, which has too
often been accepted as a neces-
sary evil. the Renovize Washing
ton Compaign Committee points
out. 1t is important that each
item entering into the arrange
ment and construction of this
part of building be we'll studied
before proceeding with the work.
The celler floor should be
about two feet above the sewer
in the street, and should be pro-
vided with drain for easy
cleaning. Seven feet clearance
below the girders is the minimum
required for headroom. Plumb
ing pipes leading to the sanitary
sewer should be accessible and
not buried beneath the concrete
floor.
The laundry should have win
dows on two sides for cross-ven-
tilation and the tubs set in the
middle of the room, so that the
washing machine and clothes
basket can be placed on any side.

design.
The living room is large and
contains handsome Colonial fire
place, while the dining room is
equally spacious and presents a
cheerful appearance with its many
windows.
The modern electric kitchen
contains the latest model elec-
trio range, electric refrigerator,
ventilating fan and clock. Beau
tifulIy finished cupboard units, a
fine double drainboard sink and
an attractively figured linoleum

Long Beach, Md, Growing
In Popularity

Increasingly popular as the
summer season advances, Long
Beach on Chesapeake Bay is en-
joying a most successful sales
campaign.
There are so many places of
beauty that one is offered an
infinite variety of choice in
selecting a suitable summer home
site. Villa sites with direct bay
frontage, others in sheltered
leafy hooks high above the bay
where delightful views and
breezes may be enjoyed, have
all been priced at extremely
moderate cost.
Summer in Long Beach offers
all of the advantages of bright
skies, outdoor pleasures with a
minimum of the misery which
heat brings to other sections.
Salt water bathing and pine
ladC-l breezes make the summer
at Long Beach both healthful
and delightful.
According to Leon Ackerman,
general manager of Long Beach,
Inc, the summer home movement
which has assumed increased
activity at Long Beach, seems to
be helped rather than hindered
~ reduced incomes among the
average family in Washington.
At least the noticeable increase
in the sales of properties and in.
terest in the subject of summer
homes at Long Beach seems to
be partly due to the fact that it
is cheaper to own a permanent
little home by the side of the
bay than it is to take a vacation
trip to some distant spot for a
month or so.
In addition to its scenic and
healthful attractions, Long Beach
offers the finest and safest salt
water bathing beach adjacent to
Washington. Over a mile of glis-
tening white sand beach faces the
eight-mile stretch of sea-green
bay.
Grown in a year beyond the
most hopeful expectations of it's
developers, Long Beach offers

SUBURBAN VIRGINIA IS ENJOYING A BUILDING
lmI SHOALS A lM
NEW ERA SEEN
IN COMMUNITY
PLANNING
Elimination of WastefuI Build
ing Practices Predicted
by Architect

NEW YORK, July 22.-New
methods will rule the building
of American towns and cities, &C
cording to Clarence S. Stein, Of
the New York chapter of the
American Institute of Architects.
The era of antiquated mass
production, loose planning, un-
sound financing, and disregard
for social consequences has
passed, declares Mr.. Stein, who
recently called the nations cities
obsolete.
Community Plan Urged
"Not houses but communities"
will be a governing principle in
future operations, Mr.. Stein pre-
diets. He said:
"The old method of building
cities and homes consisted of a
series of unrelated processes.
The, master street plan of main
thOrOughfares was fixed by the
city engineer. The sub-divider
then divided the remaining land
into a rectangular pattern of
blocks and lots.
Neither street layout nor lot
divisions was conceived to fit
the ultimate use. In fact the
ultimate use was never known
in advance.
The lending institutions have
too often made loans without
proper consideration of the
quality of construction, the
ability and integrity of the
builder, the financial ability
of the purchasers, or the fu-
ture character of the neighbor-
hood as affecting the value Of
the house.
Waste to Be Eliminated
Cali the waste of land-Sub-
division, sale of lots, individual
construction of separate dwell
ingS should be replaced by q
single large-Scale operation.
Every house must be built as
an integrated and related part
of the plan for the whole town,
or the neighbOrhOOd commu-
nifty, or the group of houses.
I'm a town created in this
manner, every road can be built
economically for the exact use
that it is to serve instead of
being waStefulIy planned so
that it may fit all possible
changes. Good planning and
large-ScaIe construction can
make saving enough through
the elimination of unnecessary
roads alone to pay for parks
and play spaces"

many new homes, new roadWays
and charming cottage sites for
the inspection of the interested
visitor. It is a quiet, homelike
shore community, and not a
noisy resort, which doubtless &C
counts for it's popularity among
the better class OF washington
families.
A delightful drive through his
toric Maryland via Upper Marl
boro over the Solomon Island
route, through Prince Frederick,
takes one directly to the entrance
to Long Beach, and many fam.
lilies are visiting it each weekend.

Over 500 enthusiastic visitors
inspected the beautiful model
Cape Cod bungalow in Aurora
Heights last Sunday. This is a
record attendance for midsum-
mer model home showing, and
proves the increasing interest in
home ownership as the country
swings back toward normal liv-
ing.
This delightful bungalow with
its modern furnishings is, indeed,
a model home in every respect,
with every modern feature such
as copper down-spouts and gut
ters, copper water pipes, in
sulated walls and roof, hardwood
floors upstairs and down, built-in
tub and shower in the model
bath, tiled drainboards and
latest kitchen cabinet units,
electrical refrigeration and Con-
sole gas range.
Located at the corner Of Pierce
and Winthrop Sts., in Aurora
Heights, adjacent to Lyon Village,
Va, on a handsomely Handicapped
corner lot, this model bungalow
was designed by E. Burton Corn
ing, architect, built by Fred A.
Gosnell, well-knoWn realtor and
builder of Clarendon, and fur
nished by Frank Mickelbach Fur
niture Company of Alexandria.
Attractive Exterior
It presents an extremely at
tractive appearance with it's
cleaning white paint, green-shut-
tered windows and twin gables,
its winding walk and beautiful
Handicapped lot.
The interior is even more at
tractive and homelike from the
delightfully."- furnished living room
with it's Colonial fireplace, the
cozy dining room and two attrac-
tive bedrooms, to the big attic
which covers the entire second
floor.
The kitchen, with its spotless
white finish and fixtures, meets
the approval of every feminine
visitor. A large screened living
porch and a detached garage COM
pletes one of the most attractive
model home exhibits of the year.

CHANGES RISKY

Sometimes changes can be made in
q car that improve it, but more often
changes from the original specifica-
tions beget trouble. This was demon
strated in the case of the discovery
that valves would stick less in a Ger
tain motor if small portion of the top
OF each valve guide were cut of. With
out this additional guide suppose the
valves got out Of alignment and be-
came noisier in their operation.
An owner found 1t annoying to use
a special grease nipple each time he
wanted to lubricate the water pump,
so decided to install a conventional
grease cup and use soft cup grease. He
was fast driver and piled up a lot
of mileage every month. The cup
failed to supply enough lubricant and
the pump suffered. In some cases it
is better not to substitute a high
pressure nipple for the cup, if the lat
ter is standard equipment as the pres
sure method may overlubricate the
pump and send grease into the cooling
system.

Forecast of Economic Condi-

BY A. ]. CHANTER,

Plerce-ArroW Vice President.
Every year at this time the spotlight
of national interest focuses on the auto
mobile business, seeking in the move
ments of this industrial giant a fore
cast of economic conditions and busi-
ness potentialities for the year ahead.
This year is no exception The busi-
ness world, as usual, Is watching
intently. Every one-the neighborhood
groceryman, as well as captains of our
mightiest commercial and industrial
enterprises-is looking for some gauge
by which to measure the extent of his
preparation for future business activity
All are seeking some cue, some indica-
ton to guide them
The fact that this is true, places
grave responsibility upon the motor car
manufacturer and the industry as
whole. Its position as one of the
greatest stabilizing forces in American
business today, forbids any indication
of faltering. There can be no sugges-
ton Of let-up in its steady march Of
progress, regardless of the cost.

manufacturers have met their re-

The degree of fortitude they have ex-

the support Of allied industries, have
surged forward to make the last three

HIGHWAY PRODUCTION
NEVER GLUTS MARKET
Already Too Much of EVERYTHING
Else, Says Frederic E.
Euaraff

"As an outlet for surplus labor. high
ways offer the best opportunity, for
they are about the only thing that can
be produced without Cutting a market
recently declared Frederic E. Everett,
president Of the American Association
of State Highway Officials.
More men cannot be placed at work
in mines or factories because there Is
already too much of almost everything"
said Mr.. Everett. But in building
highways no market is further satu-
rated: nothing is created that must be
purchased before 1t can be placed In
use.
THE dollar spent for roads serves
double purpose. It builds something
for which there is hugh public need
and appetite. 1t gives labor something
to spend which in turn relieves the
myriad industries suffering for want of
outlets for their goods"

haust system were better appreciated
there would be more consideration of
the muff1er when the engine seems to
develop odd noises and peculiarities in

hard-working unit that is in trouble
more often than owners realize.
Recently car developed the habit
Of not running over 30 miles an hour
When the accelerator was pressed too
far down the motor would hesitate
and lie down on the job. All inspec-
tion and adjustment of the carburetor
and fuel system proved useless. Final
ly mechanic discovered that there
was a broken part in the muffler that
closed up the gas escape when pressure
reached certain point
In quite number of cases the hum
ming of motors, usually attributed to
timing gears, has been traced to loose
