modern planning.
With the New England Colonial motif
for its precedent, the design illustrated
Philip Schreier and Michael A. Patter-
son, Washington architects, and accept
ed for a place in the series by special
committee appointed by the president
of the chapter.
The plan of this house is based upon
a practice which the architects believe
is becoming more and more popular
with the development of modern
housing, that of placing all of the ma
jor rooms away from the street front,
with its Objectionable noises, and in
stead exposing them to the rear, where
they open on the garden.
Lsrdscaping Emphasized.
In this way the deep lawn and land
scaping, forming an integral part of this
dwellings, arrangement, are used to best
advantage.
Believing that excessive hall space be-
comes lost space in the average small
house, the designers have allowed but
a minimum amount of room for first
and second floor halls. There is, how
ever, az veStibule at the entrance to
eliminate the feature of stepping direct
ly into the living room upon opening
the front door,
While the design as illustrated shows
a front wall Of stone and side and rear
walls of whitewashed brick, the archi-
tects feel that it would lose little or
none OF its character or charm if it were
constructed entirely of brick or frame
The portion of the front wall above
the sills of the second floor windows is
OF wood, partly for purposes of design,
and partly because it simplifles the con-
struction by permitting the dormer
windows to be built entirely within a
frame wall.
The garden wall on the left of the
house adds to the privacy of the side
yard and rear garden, making the
garden exposure of the living and din
ing rooms more desirable.
Porches of Wood.
Porches in this house plan would be
of wood, with fagstone floors With the
exception of the entrance porch roof,
which would be of copper to carry out
the lighter character of the frame
work below, all roofs would be of slate.
Placed on a lot facing north, the
architects point out that this house
would be ideally located, since all rooms
except the small bed room and the
kitchen would be we'll insulated from
the north wall, which is known to be
the coldest exposure.
A lot 40 feet wide would accommo-
date the plan, although a wider lot
would be a distinct advantage, the de-
signers say. The cubic content of the
pullolng is 20,100 feet, and the cost,
based on prevailing prices, would be be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000, the architects
estimate, II stock materials are used
wherever possible.

social ability to put it to good use also finds disagreement.
 Critics hold that the social me- chsnism has, in fact, been radi- cally changed in the past hundred years, that it had to change to permit the remarkable development so far seen.
 AS examples of important social change there are cited the con- centration of industrial plants mergers of big business. new pow CT in the hands of government and new population groupings.
 AS further evidence that there has been great change is seen in the forthcoming publication of 1G volumes by the Committee on Re- cent Social Trends.

NEW YORK, Jan 14.-Imagine having at your command the la Dor of five times the population of the earth.
 That. says Technocracy, is what the United States does have-in the form of one billion installed horsepower if it were fully used. But it is not fully used. and so far as Technocracy is concerned there's the rub.
 Technocracy, a group of research engineers working at Columbia University under direction of How ard Scott, dramatizes in this state ment what it calls the outdistanc- ing by physical science of social science. The nation has increased it's physical efficiency in the pro- duction of goods without prepar- ing at the same time social me- chanism capable of accommodating that production.
 10 Men Equal One Horsepower
 What is billion horsepower? A man is able to do one-tenth horse power in work. Ten men would equal one horsepower. Ten billion men would equal a billion horsepower World population to- day is about 1900, 100000.
 Critics of Technocracy, however, hold the statement of "one billion installed horsepower" misleading. w. w. Hay, an engineer, says that there are 70,0Oo,00O horsepower in stationary engines in the United States, that the other 930,O00, 900
