SAYS MODERN ART CAME INTO

Declares Objective Should Be to Make Housewife Play

been made more attractive and cheer
full by colored plumbing and by bright
colored cooking utensils, but the en-
deavor of good modernism is to be right
functionally and not merely decorative.
Bath room fixtures were modern before
it was realized they were 'moderne.'
Mr.. Arens, who is past president and
one Of the directors Of Audac, an Or
ganization of those interested IN mod
ern decorative art, declared that mod
ernism was a "flop" five years ago In
this country. As art director Of Vanity
Fair about eight years ago, Mr.. Arens
tried to apply modernism to that maga-
zine, but 1T did not go over" for the
public was not ready for 1t. The World S
Fair has changed all of this. The next
few years will see general acceptance
of modernism.
simplicity is not only an artistic
theory, but something the machine-age
man increasingly demands as his nerves
become ever more frazzled with the
quick tempo of modern life"
Referring to modernism as 1t Is ex-
pressed at Century of Progress, Mr.
Arens called 1t historic landmark"
that marks the turning point In our ma
tional history.

National Real Estate Board Request
80 for Loans to Builders Raises
Question.
BY VINCENT TUTCHING.

The request Of the National Assocla-
ton of Real Estate Boards for direct
Federal loans to builders for home con-
struction has put the administration IN
a position of having to determine an
important economic policy. 1t was ao-
mitted in public works circles today
That it amounts to an economic
problem is the view taken by ofhclals
now giving serious study to the pro-
posal of the realtors. Paramount
among questions confronting them are:
/. Is it advisable to encourage nome
buying in communities where the status
of employment is as yet undetermined:
2. Will the wholesale construction OF
new housing serve to strengthen the
values of existing real estate. or cause
them to continue at low levels?
Home Buying Question.
Robert D. Kohn, director OF housing
for the Public Works Administration,
points out that such home building
program will entail extensive sales cam.
paigns, and he raises the question o!
whether home buying on the part OF
individuals whose employment Is un-
certain is a wise policy.
If there can be shown definite need
for housing in communities where en-
ployment is certain, he says, there is
feasibility of favorable action by the
public works organization. He cited an
instance in Ohio where the admins
tration had approved loan for the
construction of 300 homes for steadily
employed individuals who already
owned lots on which the houses were
to be built.
The question of how realty values
will be affected by any extensive nome
building program under government
auspices is also one which admlnlstra-
tion authorities are forced to consider:
Some real estate men feel that real
estate values will improve if new con-
struction remains at low ebb, and the
existing vacancy percentage is lessened.
They feel, however, that slum clear
ance plans should proceed in any event.
High Vacancy Rate.
These same observers point to the de-
mand for modern improvements in
housing as one Of the reasons why new
housing is quickly absorbed, leaving a
high vacancy rate among used houses.
Complete renovation and modern1za-
ton of the latter is suggested as So
luton to this situation.
The National Association Of Real
Estate Boards has expressed itself as
feeling that there are considerable
number of cities and towns where
moderate amount of home building for
the purpose of sale could be undertaken
at this time with good results in the
matter Of re-employment.'
Opponents of the Federal financing
plan say the same employment could
be given in the reconditioning of ex-
isting properties and thus preserve the
values of investments
Announcement of just what the
policy Of the Public Works Administra-
.tion in this matter will be is expected
shortly.

AUCTION WILL END
REN0V|zE DRIVE"
Shack That Was Transformed
Into Bungalow Is to Be
Sold Thursday.

With the announcement this week
by the Board of Trade that it will
auction off Thursday afternoon the lit
tie renowned house at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, the Reno
vize Washington Campaign officially
will come to a conclusion.
When the 70-year-old dilapidated
shack was placed on its present site, 1t
was the aim of the Renovize Commit
tee to prove to home owners of Wash
ington and vicinity what could be ac-
complished at a modest cost in trans
forming old houses into modern, we'll
equipped homes.
Held Most Successful
"The renovizing demonstration has
been most successful" Arthur B. Hea-
ton, chairman of the committee said
today Thousands Of visitors have in
spected the house during the last two
months and hundreds of inquiries
have been received" Mr.. Heaton de-
clared that the campaign to renovize
Washington was equally as successful
as similar campaigns conducted IN
Philadelphia, both of which places he
visited before introducing the campaign
here.
Further proof that the campaign has
been successful, Mr.. Heaton said, was
the fact that there was 27 per cent
increase in building permits taken out
during the months of June, July and
August this year than were taken out
at the District Building over the same
period last year. The report Of Sep
tember this year shows an increase OF
40 repair permits over the preceding
month.
Others Who Were Active.
In addition to Mr.. Heaton, others
who have been active in the renovizing
campaign are: E. j. Murphy, vice chair
man, F. G. Addison, jr.. Harry Blake,
Harry K. Boss, Robert ]. Cottrell, Will
liam S. Corby, William w. Everett,

St. Louis Planning Engineer Ad-

Government.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 14.-The Gov
ernment should enter the field Of build
ing low cost, low rental houses in Amer
ican cities to eliminate slum districts,
as a lesson to private capital, in the
opinion Of Harland Bartholomew, st.
Louis planning engineer. who attended
the national planning meeting here this
week.
If private interests are allowed to
borrow money to carry out the housing
projects, Mr.. Bartholomew declared,
with 80 years to repay. there would be
little activity. The Government, on the
other hand, could enter the field
through its newly formed corporation
for that purpose, and teach private
business how to operate the scheme.
Such developments, he declared,
should be large in area, to make the
houses. to be let at low rentals, attrac-
tive and not surrounded by the slums
they seek to eliminate. In this way. he
declared, the value of surrounding
property would be enhanced.
