tute Of Real Estate Appraisers of

for financing and investment.
They are Of particular interest in
view Of the emphasis placed on
the appraisers responsibility in
the new Securities Act. and are
of especial Importance at this
time because of changes now
going on in conceptions of value,
and in view of the expectation of

low industrial advance.

Building Activity Is Recently
Reported by William
S. Hoge

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 wood
work and aluminium screens for
all doors and windows.
Highland Park adjoins two
builtup communities and is
within 20 minutes of downtown.
The first of a group Of four homes
is now open daily for inspection.

LOAN TALKS

CHICAGO. Aug. 26. - Every
speaker at the three-day national
convention of the United States
Building and Loan League in Chi
cago, September 13, ii and Is, has
been asked to stress both sides
of the home mortgage question,
that of the saver whose money
provides the loans as we'll as that
of the family which borrows.
Ward B. Whitlock, president of
the league, in announcing this
fact about the forty-first ami
versary convention pointed out
that the millions of savers in
these home financing institutions
are absolutely necessary to the
building up of adequate capital to
take care of the home-owner's
needs.
Among the headline speakers
who have received this request
are Chairman William F. Steven
son of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board at Washington, and
Horace Russell, general counsel
for the board. The league whose
convention they will address is
the national trade association of
the $8,000,000,00O building and
loan business. Between $500 and
5000 managers of home mortgage
institutions will attend the ses-
sions. Hundreds of them are
coming in two days ahead of time
to be there for the Building and
Loan Assembly at the World
Fair.
Mr.. Whitlock said that the con-
vention, which celebrates the an
niverSary Of the leagues found
ing in this city in 1892, will cover
the full scope Of national eco
nomic measures as well as the
practical side of business for the
building and loan executive.

The Washington times., 1933-08-26

An era Of home building un'
matched in the nations history
is forecast for the United States
by Bror G. Dahlberg, president
of the Celotex Company.
The impetus, he declares, is be.
ing generated by revolutionary
changes in home design and con,
struction methods that will out
mode the vast majority of this
country's dwellings and m a k
every family a prospect for a
new type of house.
Points To Fair Exhibit
He points to the model homes
displayed at Chicago's Century of
Progress as examples. Some of
these dwellings he calls so years
ahead of the ordinary house in
providing comfort, convenience
and economy of living. He says:
"These new type houses will
sweep the country. Once the
average citizen becomes aCcuS-
toned to their nOn-traditiOnal
appearance, he will realize they
provide facilities for present.
day living far exceeding those
offered by the ordinary Struc.
lures. The unusual architec-
tural lines, which retard imme-
diate general acceptance, soon
will become highly desirable to
the average man. In fact, the
demand for the new type of
home will be based on the nor
NAL human craving for fresh
style that causes the autOmO-
bile owner to exchange last
years car for a new model,
plus practical improvements
that make the traditional house
almost as obsolete as an In
dian tepee.
New Market Created
"Add to these factors the
broader market created by
radically lower costs and you
have the basis for a tremendous
amount of home building.
'By new type houses, I do
not mean prefabricated, fac
tory-built units, thousands alike.
They are only one possible
phase Of a general movement.
Any home, no matter what the
materials or manner of con-
structiOn, is a new type house
If it provides comfort, pleasure
and economy Of living at mini
mum cost. Minimum cost does
not mean shOddy materials; it
means economical, sometimes
radical, application of good ma
terials, some new, some old.
Maximum comfort means the

skillfuI use Of these materials
to provide warmth in winter,
GOODNESS in summer, elimination
of disturbing noises. Maximum
economy of living means the
home must be inexpensive to
heat, to maintain against the
ravageS Of the elements and
decay.
Thanks to Depression
1--WE can think of the depres-
sion for creating such houses.
1t focused attention on the
high cost of home building and
home ownership in relation to
other products. 1t stimulated
the ingenuity of man toward
lowering home costs, not a lit
tie, but radically. 1t set archi-
tectS to thinking, planning,
Seekinl methods of making
dwellings, more suitable for
modern living. AS a result, the
past three years have brought
the brOadest advance in home
design and construction ever
recorded in any decade.
"The depression also focused
attention on home taxes and
financing. The breakdown Of
real estate taxes in many parts
of the country has made voters
and legislators realize the home
has borne too much of the cost
of government, that other
means of raising revenue must
be devised. Eventually, this
will make homes cost less to
own.
Advance in Financing
Home building financing
methods have also advanced.
While they are yet far from
perfect, they certainly are bet
ter and more flexible than they
were in 1929. This, like the
lowering of building costs,
widens the market.
Inc new type nome may pc
the key to a sound revival of
general business. For three
years, business leaders have said
some new or startling better
product with a broad, general
market would bring business
back to an even keel. The new
type home is such a product.
Nothing could possibly be more
revolutionary than the creation
Of a remarkably improved
product to meet one of mans
great needs-sheIter.
'"The net result Of these
changes will be a better scheme
of living. broader distribution
of the good things of life"

In planning the attractive David

Colonial design, at 1900 Quebec
ST., Spring Valley, w. c. and A.
N. Miller combined with the
charm of Colonial tradition a
modern note of comfort and con.
venience in providing gas as the
efficient aid to the housewife in
food preparation and preserva-
ton.
They also included gas as the
fuel, for care-free, automatic heat
ing and as the medium of furnish
ing the home with an ever-ready
supply of hot water. The home
manager Of today is alert to ap-
preciate such consideration for
her daily household tasks and the
consequent tightening of work
and economical cost of operation.

JOBS OFFERED
ARCHITECTS
BY j. 8.

Every practicing architect in the
United States will have the op.
portunity to qualify for service
under the Federal Government.
Carrying out a new policy, for
which the architectural profes-
sion, led by the American Institute
Of Architects, has long contended,
the Treasury Department to the
fullest extent will employ private
architects in the design of public
buildings to be erected under the
jurisdiction Of the office of the SUI
perviSing architect.
Full recognition as been ac-
corded the architectural and engi-
neering professions by L. w. Rob
ert, jr., Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury in charge of public build.
ings. Mr.. Robert asked the insti-
tute to provide him with lists of
competent architects in every
State. From these lists he planned
to make selections for Govern
ment employment.
Architects Queried
At the suggestion of the insti.
tute's committee on public works,
this procedure has been changed.
A disqualification form with an
explanatory letter is being sent to
every registered architect in the
33 States having registration laws,
and to all listed architects in the
remaining Is States.
Those disqualification forms,
as executed and returned, will
give the Treasury Department
valuable information concerning
every architect who considers his
office competent to do Govern
ment work.
Qualifications Considered
AS projects come up the pre-
qualification forms of architects
in the State or city concerned
will be examined. With this data,
and with such information as
may be obtained by direct in
quiry, the department will make
it's own selections. In no case
will there be any preferred list
or individual designations offered
by the American Institute of Ar
chitects or any of its representa-
tives.
The new attitude of the Treas
ury Department, the spokesmen
of organized architecture point
out, encourages the development
of higher standards of public
architecture in the United States.
Ultimately, they hold, Federal
buildings will reflect the culture,
the imagination, and spiritual
ideals of the American people,
and at less cost to the taxpayers.

Building Permits Decline
1916 Per Cent in 776 Cities

indicated expenditures for total
building operations, comparing
July with June.
New residential buildings de-
creased SO per cent in number
and 88 per cent in indicated ex-
penditures during this period.
New nonresidential buildings
decreased 8.6 per cent in number,
while indicated expenditures for
this type of building decreased
4.9 per cent.
During July 1888, 3,293 family
dwelling units were provided in
new buildings. This is a decrease
of III per cent as compared with

Contracts awarded by the vari-
Gus agencies of the United States
Government during July totaled

81 100000 in June 1888.
Comparing permits issued in
345 identical cities having a. popu.

Paint on Under Side
Saves Porch Floors

Painting the underside Of a
porch floor is an excellent way
to keep moisture and dampness
from coming through and caus-
ing the paint on the upper side
to blister and peel. If the house
Is just being built, paint the
boards before laying them in
place.
The Washington times., 1933-08-26
Temperature of 40
Best for Pdintin0

Exterior painting should be done
only in dry weather and when the
thermometer registers at least
40 degrees. In colder weather the
moisture that is generally present
will condense on the surface and
interfere with good results.

Knots in Wood Killed
BY AppLying Torch

An effective way to kill knots in
exposed wood is to draw as much
of the sap as possible by holding
a hot iron over the knot, scrap
ing 1t, and then applying two
coatings Of gold or silver leaf
over the knot before painting.
