CAMP VISITORS GET !.
! CHEERS AND RAzz.
Fort Knox Foresters Have
Unusual Welcome for
Riders.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClaIeQ EIeSS'
FORT KNOX, KY, May 25.-Those
who ride through Fort Knox's forestry
corps camp of 5000 youngsters must
expect to be cheered. There's no escape
Every passerby in an automobile finds
himself in the midst of roar OF hall
cheers and half "razz" which grows to
deafening volume. It's just a quaint
custom, providing fun for the boy, but
death for the frog"
The 5000 have another playful
custom. They ADDRESS all their officers,
from Col. James P. Barney of the Reg
ulars down to the lowliest Reserve sec
ond lieutenant, as sergeant"
Their sleeping quarters are rough
barracks built during the World War, or
tents. but daytime finds them all over
the $4,000 acres of Fort Knox, some
chopping at trees, some digging pits,
some stripped to the waist under the
Kentucky sun and hammering on rock
piles.
CARRIED in Dungarees.
Or one may see them, garbed in uni
forms of blue dungarees, marching IN
Companies of 200 along the IL miles OF
roads which criss-cross the reservation.
They take long hikes daily for con
ditioning."
1t is much like an outfit of soldiers
in training during the World War,
youths from every type Of home, almost
every walk of life. They have the same
good -humored spirit of fun and the
same inclination to indulge in the
eternal American prerogative OF kicking
about food, pay and work. The glamour
is missing. but they don't miss it.

bed of roses, but it's healthy. Most OF
Us are happy"
Radical literature has been distrib-
uted to them on occasion, urging them
to "stage a revolt" but Col. Barney
only smiled. The boys, he said, turned
it over to him and told him they would
"take care" of any agitators themselves.

of families receiving $40 to $25 month

DISCOVER LOW COST
HOME WITH TWOFOLD ADVANTAGE
Profession Benefits and so Does Beauty and Utility
of inexpensive Houses.

Not long ago a house did not have
architecture unless it cost a lot OF
money. But now there are indications
that architecture is discovering small
houses, beautifully designed, properly
built and costing less than $4,000.
Three major factors are responsible:
First, under N l. r. A., industries and
cities are being encouraged to provide
modern, permanent, low-cost housing
for the low-income population groups.
Architects have tackled the problem
and found it fascinating.
Second, after two or three years of
more or less graceful starvation, archl-
tects and engineers and builders are
discovering that it is just as worth
while to do a good job on several
small projects as it is to do a fancy
piece Of work for millionaire.
And, third, the people who cannot
afford expensive hcmes are putting
their problems squarely up to the con-
struction industry. Build us decent.
safe, livable small houses, and we'll
for them. they say. And now they're
getting results.
Evening star., 1933-09-30

In the boom days, any builder could
scribble a plan" on the back of an
envelope. put it up on a Jerry build
ing" basis-and sell it. But people
have discovered that houses so built
are extravagant at any price-they go
to pieces quickly. they burn easily,
they're hot in Summer and cold in
Winter and they are generally mex
cusable
A small. inexpensive house is real
problem, requiring common sense and
trained brains for its solution. But
it can be and is being solved
New or improved building materials
are being used. Simplified construction
methods are being developed. And the
new technique rules out lot Of
troubles which beset the jerry-built
small house.
Some of the new low-cost homes are
distinctly modern" in design-ex-
tremely simple but very nvable. Others,
in the East particularly, follow tradi-
tional styles One of the most popu-
lar small types is the Cape Cod cot
tage.

BUILDING ANDl0AN
DRAINAGE CHECKED
Associations Called Upon to
Repurchase Fewer of Their
Investors Shares.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, September 3o.-Build-
ing and loan associations throughout
the country are not being called upon
to repurchase half as many Of their in
vestors' shares as they were three
months ago. it is noted by H. F. Gel
larius Of Cincinnati. secretary treasurer
Of the United States Building and Loan
League.
He halls this slackening Of the de-
preston drain upon the ordinary re-
sources of the associations not only as
a sign Of generally increased confidence,
but also as an indication that the wage
earning and low-salaried classes are
gradually finding jobs to pay their liv-
ing expenses. thus leaving their savings
intact.
Based on Wide Survey.
Cellarius bases his observations upon
the reports Of early Fall conditions from
the secretaries of 38 State leagues Of
building and loan associations.
amounts Of new money coming in both
from old and new investors. Bright
spots in some of the other States are
the continuance Of prompt payments
by the home borrowers. One State
secretary said 81.58 per cent Of the total
mortgage loans held by the associations
were fully paid up until misunderstand-
ings about the operations Of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation arose to slow
up collections.
Find Lending Eeasier.
In a majority of the States the asso-
Citations report the facilities Of the Fed
eral Home Loan Banks have made it
possible for them to do substantial
lending in the past few months in spite
Of the laggardness Of new money in
many localities.
The expectation Of definitely good
conditions in 1884 is almost unani-
mously voiced by those reporting from
these States.
Building and loan associations have
managed, by and large, to keep their
business condition above the level Of
other financial institutions in their
communities, Mr.. Celarius said. While
their welfare is bound to be affected by
unemployment and disintegrating in
dustry and commerce in their vicinities,
the report shows them to be improving
their position at the first flush Of gen.
eral business pickup"

Creaking Floors.
@. How can floors be stopped from
creaking?-J. w. F.
A. If the boards have lifted slightly
from the joists, place block or board
on the floor at that point and strike It
with an axe or heavy hammer to drive
the flooring back into place. A piece
Of old carpet or several thicknesses Of
paper should be placed under the block
to avoid marring the floor. In case
this does not remedy the situation. the
driving cf few nails around the loose
point probably will draw the boards
down tightly Care should be taken
not to bend the nails. and when the
heads are within quarter Of an inch
of the floor. nail set should be used
to drive the heads below the floor sur
face in order to prevent marring the
floor with the hammer.
If the boards on the first floor can
not be driven down by either of these
methods it might be advisable to drive
thin strip of wood between the bottom
OF the flooring and the top of joist, or
to nail cleat of wood to the side of
the joist sufficiently high to support the
flooring and eliminate the play. This
mailing can be done from the basement.
