Deposits In Banks Show
Sharp Upturn

Indicating that people have
more money to spend than this
time last year, the demand de-
posits of reporting member banks
in 80 leading cities June 7
amounted to $10,983, 100000, an
increase of 100000 as COM
pared with June 8, 1882.
Figures issued today by the
Federal Reserve Board showed
that time deposits of $4,275,0 ,000,-
600 were $285, 100000 less than
a year ago. Demand deposits in
creased $65,000,000 last week and
time deposits dropped $1,000, 900.
Funds evidently were to some
extent being transferred from
time to demand accounts for i'm
mediate use.

NEW THEATER
ULTRAMODERN

The Roosevelt Theater, which
has just opened on Ninth Street
between E and F. Sts., is another
well designed, good looking struc-
ture, and a distinct contribution
to Washington's entertainment.
The building is 90 feet long,
with a 33-foot frontage, seating
500 with 1856 seats in the balcony.
It is fireproof structure, OF
steel and concrete, and is modern
throughout.
The interior is i'm m d in
brown, white and green. The
c h airs are of substantial red
leather upholstery. Aluminium
lighting fixtures give an attrac-
tive glow, just right for theater,
and there are individual lights
on every seat.
The theater has an electric
cooling system, and an indirect
heating system.
In addition to r. c. A. sound
apparatus, the Roosevelt boasts
an electric score board which can
and will be operated at the same
time the picture is on the screen.
It is the only theater in America
that will show a picture and a
play-by-play record of the base
ball game at the same time.

HIGHLAND PARK.
VA. B0OMS

One of the most desirable and
less travelled highways Virginia
way from Washington is Memorial
Drive, running from Clarendon to
Falls Church and parallel to the
Lee Highway. For the convenience
of those seeking country homes
at moderate prices and on easy
terms Highland Park is being
developed by w. S. Hoge, jr.,
realtor. Here one finds large
wooded lots and good values in
five and six-room modern semi
bungalows-Some with one and
some with two baths, all with
electric refrigeration and gas
stoves and good sized rooms. Each
home has a nice fireplace, land
scaped grounds and garden space.
Here will also be found appoint
ments usually confined to the
more expensive homes, such as
beamed ceilings in the living
rooms, natural finished woodwork
and aluminium screens for all
doors and windows.
Highland Park adjoins two
built-up communities and is with
in 20 minutes of downtown, The
first of a group of four homes is
now open daily for inspection.

Cooper Lightbown and Com
pany has featured in its latest
development in Foxhall, at Fox
hall Road and P st., the General
Electric kitchen. Lightbown, who
has built many residences in
Palm Beach, has designed and
built these homes, Incorporating
many distinctive innovations not
usually found in residences of
moderate price.
Foxhall, known for the unusual
character of its homes, is ideally
located on a high elevation with
adequate transportation facilities
and is close to schools, stores,
churches and is easily accessible
to the heart Of the city. The
architecture of these new English
brick homes is marked by a
variety of treatment with slate
roofs, stucco bays, green shut
ters and rustic, concrete, covered
porches, adding individuality to
group design. The homes are
set back on terraced lawns with
brick retaining walls. and enjoy
an attractive view of the city.
The first floor contains a large
living room with open fireplace
and mantel, cozy dining room,

Electric Kitchens Feature
NeW Residences In FOxhaLL

The beauty and convenience of
the General Electric kitchen is
one of the high points of interest
to the housewife and the builders
have realized the strong sales ad-
vantage of this feature. Electric
kitchens give greater convenience
and save time and money, very
practical considerations for the
home manager. In this home all
General Electric equipment was
furnished by National Electrical
Supply Co.. The large G-E Moni-
tor top refrigerator with it's A.

sign with steel cabinet and porce-
lain finish with chromium plated
hardware.
The ventilating fan provides a
constant change of air, and the
electric clock is necessary for
correct time.
Sound construction is evident in

BUILDING, LOAN
GROUP REPORT
FAVORABLE
SIaCkening of Drain on Re-
sources Indicate Business
Upturn

Building and loan associations
throughout the country are not
being called upon to repurchaSe
half as many of their investors
shares as they we're three months
ago, it is noted by H. F. Cellarius,
Of Cincinnati, secretary treasurer
of the United States Building and
Loan League.
He halls this slackening Of the
depression drain upon the ordi-
nary resources of the asSocia.
tions not only as sign of gen.
orally increased confidence, but
also as an indication that the
wage-earning and low-salaried
classes are gradually finding Jobs
to pay their living expenses, thus
leaving their savings intact.
3S States Reported
Cellarius bases his observations
upon the reports of early fall
conditions from the secretaries
of 38 State leagues of building
and loan associations.
Some States report substantial
amounts of new money coming
in both from old and new in
vestors. Bright spots in some of
the other States are the continu-
ance of prompt payments by the
home borrowers. One State sec
retary said that 81.58 per cent Of
the total mortgage loans held by
the associations were fully paid
up until misunderstanding about
the operations of the Home Own
ers' Loan Corporation arose to
slow up collections.
Many Groups Helped
In a majority of the States, the
associations report the facilities Of
the Federal Home Loan Banks
have made it possible for them
to do substantial lending in the
last few months, in spite Of the
laggardness of new money in
many localities.
The expectation of definitely
good conditions in 1884 is almost
unanimously voiced by those re-
porting from these States. Al
larius said:
Building and loan aSsocia-
tiOns have managed, by and
large, to keep their business
condition above the level of
other financial institutions in
their communities. While their
welfare is bound to be affected
by unemployment and disin.

merce in their vicinities, the re-
port shows them to be improving

ARCHITECTURE
SEEN At START
Of NEW ERA
Changing Social Order Under
NRA to Affect Buildings,
Says Maginnis
BY CHARLES d. MAGINNIS
Vice President, American 1nsti-
tute of Architects

American life is likely soon to
experience changes which will
greatly affect the national archi-
lecture.
It may as we'll be accepted
that, however temporary its de-
sign, the National Recovery act
marks the opening of a new
social order.
It is clear that the achieve
ment Of these conditions will have
interesting reactions on the ma
tional culture. The strenuosity of
the American life has left little
time for the development of many
gracious things which we are
disposed to envy in some of the
older civilizations. A couple of
decades ago, Europe would prob
ably have scoffed at the idea that
America was likely soon to con-
tribute anything of consequence,
for example. to the art Of the
world.
Opportunity for Planners
And yet we have achieved in
that time an architecture of such
independence and authority that
there is a disposition to admit
even our leadership in this field.
The imagination and technical
skill by which this new direction
has been given to American genius
are likely soon to have more spa
cious opportunity.
In the past the talent of the
architect has been restricted to
the discriminating patron. It has
shaped the domesticities OF the
well-to-do and the monumental.
ties Of the church and State. IN
the magnitude of the national
scene, however, the architect has
been a carver of oherry-stones, +
1t is calculated that less than
20 per cept of the buildings erect
ed in the United States have the
benefit of his service. Communi.
ties enlist it for the greater beauty
of their schools and libraries, but
neglect it where its larger exer.
else might hecure beautiful cities.
Skyscraper Held Doomed
The community planning of
the future will be too scientific to
tolerate such chaos. The sky
scraper has been a piquant and
picturesque episode in the evolu-
tion of our American architecture,
but the signs are unmistakable
that its irresponsible vogue is near
an end.
The leisure resulting from the
new limits in the hours of work
is bound to have interesting con-
sequences. The country life of
today has no longer the old
austerities, and the invitation it
offers to freedom and health and
comfort will be accepted eagerly
even by the low-wage Garner.
This movement will mean a great
development of small housing.
Opportunity will be afforded
for demonstrating how ingenuity
in design and material, where
assisted by gracious landscaping,
can be made to assemble such
units into communities of positive
attraction.
The Washington times., 1933-09-30
INSPECT PAINT YEARLY

Periodical inspection of painted
areas-at least once each year
should be made to determine the
condition of all protected surfaces.
Such a precaution is economical
if it brings to light decayed sur
faces that may be preserved with
paint before replacement becomes
necessary.
The Washington times., 1933-09-30
PAINTING WALLS

Old walls, especially of kitchens,
have a thin layer of grease and
smoke upon them, which, though
it may not be perceptible. may
prevent paint from adhering prop
erly. Before painting such walls,
wash them with soap and water
to which a little ammonia has
been added, rinse with water,
and allow them to dry thoroughly.

FOUNDATION FOR enamel

When an enamel finish is. de.
sired on an unpainted surface,
it is first necessary to build up
the proper foundation with flat
coats of paint. All enamels, par
ticularly white, are more or less
transparent and imperfections IN
the printing coats are likely to
show in the finished product.
The Washington times., 1933-09-30
PAINT WATER CONDUCTOR

Cutters, spouting and water
conductors should be given coat
of paint on the inside as well as
on the outside. These inner sur
faces, like outer ones, are subject
to rust damage, and should, if
conditions permit, have paint pro-
lection.
The Washington times., 1933-09-30
APPLYING PRIMlNG COAT

The use of old, leftover paint
as a printing coat is not recon-
mended, since the primer is the
foundation for all future painting
and should be carefully applied
with the best of materials.
