warmth, light or cooking purposes was
the side of the "fyr."
The term chimney" has Travelled far
and suffered many alterations. 1t Is
supposed to derive from Latin "cami-
nus" furnace" through French
"cheminee." Technically, it is that
part of a building which contains the
smoke flues, especially an upright tube
or f1ue of brick or stone, in most cases
extending through or above the roo1;
chimney shaft or stack" Real CHM
neys are something OF a novelty. Even
the finest houses of the early Medieval
era were innocent of any such device,
and the rooms in which Charlemagne
and Louis XII, William the Conqueror
and Harold the Saxon held their courts
were filled with smoke. The inventor
of f1ues was an authentic benefactor
Of humanity.
Kitchen" appears to have journeyed
from Latin "coQuina," 'cookroom,"
through Anglo-Saxon "cycene." to
Middle English "kichen" or "kuchene.
THE room of house appropriated 10
cookery" it once was the only room
of the dwelling and was used Tor eat
ing and sleeping as well as In the busi-
ness of preparing meals.
Dining room" is new phrase: It's

"disnare" from an assumed "disjunare,"
ito fast" The room is which dinner
and other meals are regularly taken" ;"
it is connected with French diner"
and Old French "disner." Only in mod
ern times has it been regular or estab-
lished integral of the ordinary house.
Drawing Room Is Abbreviation.
Drawing room" is an abbreviation
for withdrawing room" "a room appro-
priated for the reception of company:
the room to which the ladies withdraw
from the dining room" Draw" in the
sense of move" comes from Middle
English "drazen" and Anglo-Saxon
"dragan."
"Parlor" is of Latin parentage. It
was "parlour" in Middle English and
its Late Latin form was "parlatorium," !"
"a room primarily for conversation. :"
It must have some connection with
French "parler." speech"
The word library" has a similar
history. 1t is the modernization OF
Latin "librarius." from "liber," book" !"
Only in comparatively recent times M has
there been in the average house AN
apartment devoted to collection of
books"
Bedroom" is term whose origin Is
lost in the mist of ages. It appears
in English by way Of Anglo-Saxon
"bedd,' and its variations are found In
all the languages of Northern Europe.
A room containing IAN article Of furni-
ture to sleep or take rest in or on" 1t
was the first of the additions to be
built beside the primitive kitchen. but
no one knows for certain the source
from which its name descended.

URGES REBUILDING
OF bL|GHTED AREAS
Architect Cites Scarcity Of
Homes Within Rent Rate
of Wage Farmers.

Blghted areas must be rebuilt "if our
cities are to escape bankruptcy and the
citizens freed from utter poverty and
depravity." according to Henry K.
Holsman Of the Chicago Chapter Of the
American Institute Of Architects.
During the past decade the building
industry, while employing nearly one
fourth Of all the wage earners in the
country, built no homes within the rent
rate of that two-thirds Of all American
families whose incomes are below $4,000
a year, MI. Holsman pointed out. "Only
one-third of our families had incomes
sufficient to rent or buy the homes we
built" he added.
Mr.. Holsman cited conditions In
Philadelphia. where 1t was found that
for the past 10 years no housing was
built which 48 per cent Of the popula-
per cent Of all new housing was built for
the IL per cent Of the population hav-
ing incomes from $4,000 tor $4,000 a
year.
consequently" he continues. many
low wage earners were encouraged to
assume rent burdens too heavy for
them to bear, with subsequent disaster
to both the producers and the users.
That means that half of Philadelphia S
population must live in the old obso-
lete houses, many thousands of which
are not fit for human habitation."
Chicago, it is estimated by the Illi-
nois Housing Commission, has SO
square miles, or about $4,000 acres OF
blighted area where the ordinary mu-
nicipal services for the area cost more
than two and one-half times the reve-
nue. levied thereon.
Much of this blighted area has been
reduced to slums," Mr.. Holsman COM
mented. "SlumS are q social liability
as well as an economic liability to the
community. Into these blighted and
slum areas sink the temporary unfor-
tmate to become permanently delin-
quent.
1.-The homeless men and drifting
women and vicious and resentful gangs
gather there and multiply and propa-
gate their kind. The unsanitary,
Iightless, vermin-infested, dilapidated
buildings increase and propagate ply
sical and mental disease.
Improperly housed workers and
school children are perpetually tired
inefficient, despondent, or hopeless ano
irritable--conditions that may be, ir
the aggregate, as great a menace tc
society as disease, vice and crime, Their
offspring.
THE social liabilities OF all slum and
bnghted areas are an incalculable ex-
pense to society, but 1t does not stop
there. City blighted areas consist Of
small lots and obsolete houses, mostly
owned by absentee landlords who have
no use for them, but often owned by
residents who are kept poor by the
very fact Of ownership.
"All owners are helpless to improve
their buildings because of the dilapi-
dated neighboring properties. Tenants
and owners can only hold on in vain
hope that a miracle will happen and
free them from the deadly bondage
free their children from the baneful
influence and depressing effects Of the
decaying environment. Rehabilitating
Evening star., 1933-10-07

city blighted areas cannot be done by
individual owners of individual lots.
Here then is a most fertile field for
the employment of our great productive
capacity on collective undertaking to
improve the conditions of our common
life No vast schemes of public works
for the employment Of surplus artisans
and labor can surpass the beneficence
to be derived from rehabilitating our
blighted areas with decent homes for
families Of low income It Is directly in
line with the ideals and aims of the
constitutional spirit Of the Nation it
is a test case for cooperating leader
ship.

When an enamel finish is desired on
an unpainted surface, it is first neces-
sary to build up the proper foundation
with fiat coats of paint. All enamels,
