SPURNS AID

Opposition to the proposal for
representation of the House Dis
trict Committee on the Appropria'
tions subcommittee drafting the
District supply bill was expressed
today by Representative j. Bay
ard Clark CD, of North Carolina
chairman of the House District
fiscal affairs subcommittee.
The plan has been vigorously
championed by Representative
Mary T. Norton Cd, of New Jer
sey, chairman of the House group
who has stressed the advisability
Of cooperation between the legis'
lative committee and the subcom
mittee on appropriations.
Clark declared, however, that
such a plan is an infringement on
the jurisdiction of the Appropria
tionS subcommittee.
To. Mrs. Norton'S contention
that the needs of the District are
better understood by the legisla
tive committee, Clark answered
that it is the specific duty of the
appropriations group to know
how money should be spent ir
the District and therefore any ad
vice from the House District Com
mittee would be SuperfluouS.

Wood Utilization Committee Finds
Profitable Industry Being
Developed.

A new and profitable industry Is In
the process OF development in America,
according to Axel H. Oxholm, director
of the National Committee on Wood
Utilization of the Department OF Com
merce The factories are the American
home workshops, neglected In the past,
but now coming into their own, ne
says.
Thousands Of men and women are
learning to apply good workmanship
artistic and practical design to the
making of articles for everyday use,
Oxholm points out. They do not come
into competition with mass production
articles because they cater to the indi-
ydual needs OF the customers.
The National Committee on WOOD
Utilization has published booklet en-
titled You Can Make It for Profit, "
In which about 100 detailed designs and
specifications are given Of articles that
can be made IN the home workshop.
"You Can Make 1t for Camp and Cot
tage," another of this series, gives SINH

SKYSCRAPER HELD
GOING OUT OF DATE
May Never Be Built After
Present Era, New Yorker
Tells Architects.

The skyscraper era Is closing and the
tall buildings Of today may be the curl
osities Of the future, according to Will
liam Orr Ludlow of New York, chairman
Of the Committee on Industrial Rela-
tions Of the American Institute OF
Architects.
1T is probable" says Mr.. Ludlow in
report to the institute, that skyscrap-
ers will not be built again for many a
long day-perhaps never"
The exodus from the cities Of America
already has begun, Mr.. Ludlow finds,
and the congestion, OF which the sky
Scraper Is product, is slowly yielding.
The five-day week. he adds, is virtually
an accomplished fact and the four-day
week is just around the corner. for we
shall keep on inventing ingenious ma
chinery to replace hand work"
Architects must prepare for great
building activity, Mr.. Ludlow asserts.
hazard fashion" of former days be dis
regarded and that future works be
planned with careful study and compre-
nensive scheming for the greatest eco
nonlic use and development.
I'VE shall see great change In our
buildings as soon as money begins to
circulate again." Mr.. Ludlow continues,
land this change will not be only in
style but in kind.
Breaking away from the traditional
forms of architecture will bring about
the change in style and the increase
in leisure time will make demand for
the kind of building that leisure time
will need.
"Ihe kind of building that will be
required first will certainly not be the
skyscraper or the factory; dwellings and
institutional buildings, schools, hoSpi-
tails, churches, and similar non CONNER
cial buildings will probably lead the
way
There will be, however, q new fac
tor in the situation that will mean great
building along another line. This is
the shorter hours of labor and longer
hours Of leisure. Whether the outcome
Is flve-day or four-day week, the
average man and woman will have an
unprecedented amount Of leisure time
that will be filled with recreation and
amusement.
Already the automobile has nearly
revolutionized our manner Of living,
and it is going to be the means Of max
ing the greatest use of out-of doors and
the buildings that 60 with It,"
The time Is not far away, Mr.. Ludlow
declares, when the heart of our great
American cities will be abandoned as
places for residence, amusement and
shipping. He believes they will be given
over to office buildings, centers for the
distribution OF freight and passengers,
by rail, bus and airplane.

REN0W|zERS PLAN
100000 OUTLAY
Expenditures to Be Made in
Six Months for Labor
and Materials.

Expenditures reaching $5,000,000 for
labor and materials by local property
owners during the next six months. is
the goal set by q committee Of business
and civic leaders now actively spon-
sortng the Renovise Washington Cam
paign, the Home Modernising Commit
tee, Bureau Of Standards, points out.
The drive includes . plan for com
pletely modernizing and equipping .
dilapidated house over 80 years OF age.
Practically every building trade will be
utilized In the public demonstration OF
home remodeling in connection with
the day-to-d day modernizing Of this old
structure, with local housing experts In
attendance to answer home owners
questions. The house u now on park
ing lot at Fourteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue.
In order to make provisions for i'm
mediate financing. leading financial
institutions are represented on the local
committee and the District Bankers
Association has made available special
credit pool to further facilitate the
making of needed loans to home owners.
According to current reports received
by the home undermining committee OF
the Bureau of Standards, this local
campaign represents another link in q
national chain Of similar organized
property improvement drives conducted
In cities throughout the country to
stimulate local employment and busi-
ness and stabilize home values.
OF these campaigns, the most out
standing to date, is the Renovize Phila-
delphia Campaign, Of which the local
organization estimates that Sl4.000,00
of the total expenditure by property
owners of $21. 900 900 will 60 directly to
labor and furnish approximately one
months work for 138.000 men.
A community. by making carefully
planned repairs In accordance with
good designs, raises its real estate val
ues, and advances the common wealth
through such improvements, the bureau
says
OF Importance is the circumstance
that banks in many cities have an
nounced their willingness to lend hber-
ally to finance improvements. Bankers
generally know that few hundred dol
lars spent in modernizing q house
materially adds to The value of the
property. The marketability Of the
property is increased and the whole
tone of the neighborhood raised. The
banker knows that his security Is
greater when improvements are made.
The Advisory Home Modernizing Com
mittee of the Bureau of Standards is
composed Of IT housing experts, serving
in a voluntary capacity, through the
division Of building and housing. De-
tails of plans used In successful home
undermining and community improve
ment campaigns In various cities, In
Guiding reports on expenditures, an
operating manual outlining local cam
paign organization, and information Of
interest to individual home owners may
be secured from the committee on re-
quest.

house, were replaced with new colored
equipment, up-to-the-minute in style
and design The fixtures chosen con-
sist Of lavatory with two metal legs,
a one-piece water closet and a bath
tub with modern lines harmonizing
perfectly with the planes and panels
of the other two fixtures.
Tile Also Selected.
A wainscoting of light-blue asbestos
tile was selected as a background for
the darker blue of the fixtures.
Thus the new owner finds himself in
possession of q house which, from the
point of view OF appearance and con-
venience, compares favorably with any
house of similar architectural design
built today.

STRIKING CHANGE
IN HOME SHOWN
ConvenienceS More Vital
Than Large Number of
Rooms Now.

The most striking difference between
the house built from IS to 20 years
ago and the house of today is in the
ratio Of rooms to conveniences says
the Plumbing and Heating Industries
Bureau. The object of the home owner
a decade or two ago was to have as
many rooms as possible. Conveniences
were not considered so essential.
Today the ideal IS the utmost in con-
veniences. with only the number of
rooms necessary for the size of the
family The house with more rooms
than conveniences today may be pur-
chased at a price which will make
modernization profitable for the pur-
chaser
Example Is Cited
This was illustrated recently in the
rejuvenation OF 23-year-old house in
Evanston, a suburb of Chicago. The
house had five bed rooms on the Sec
ond floor, but only two bath rooms.
These conveniences were inadequate
for the new owners family of three
grown daughters and one son.
Under the direction OF an expert
enced plumbing contractor and a skill
full architect, one of the bed rooms
was transformed into q combination
bath room and dressing room for the
two grown daughters whose bed rooms
adjoin the modernized room on either
side.

ADOPT BARTER SYSTEM
Farmers Exchange Produce for
Plumbing in Homes,

By utilizing the ancient system of
barter. farmers and plumbers are CO.
operating to bring the benefits Of run
ming water to farm homes, says the
Plumbing and Heating Industries Bu-
reau. County agents are credited with
the promotion Of this idea Of trading
plumbers time and materials for farm
products.
Farmers have an excess OF produce
which they can not sell profitably at
prevailing prices and plumbers having
an excess of time and materials, the
exchange idea has much to recommend
it. particularly since more than so per
cent of the nations farms still lack the
convenience of running water.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Families max
ing wise expenditures to keep up the
value of their homes this Spring al
ready number 1880, according to
Morton Bodfish, executive manager OF
the United States Building and Loan
League, in announcing the results OF
the leagues national survey Of modern
ization and repair loans to home
owners.
Funds advanced for this purpose
since the first of the year by building
and loan associations total about
SIS, 100000, according to the league S
estimates, and at least half OF this
volume Of lending has been made pos
sible by the local associations access
to money from the Federal Home Loan
Banks.
Given Free Advice.
OF the building and loan associations
reporting to the United States League,
IS per cent have made some loans for
renovation Of homes in their localities.
The two associations with the highest
score in this activity, each having made
loans to 40 home-oWners, are located
in cities of 100000 and 10000 popula-
ton respectively. The home owners
they served have borrowed between
$3.50 and 81 900 each to make the I'M
provements.
In neither Of these localities, accord
ing to Mr.. Bodfish, is there q civic
sponsored campaign in progress to en-
courage residential improvement
There is, however, an apparent awak-
ening to the fact that reconditioning
is needed and that prices are at bar
gain levels. Building and loan offl-
nf al In, ha 6fu az
all times to counsel families as to the
practical merits Of the repairs and To-
modelling that they plan to undertake
These associations are advertising
that financing is available for such un-
dertaklngS and thus encouraging the
activity Several Of the cities in which
number of loans have been made are
in the midst of city-wide undermining
campaigns, it was pointed out.
Campaigns Beginning.
Inflationary moves now under way
strengthen the indications that this is
but beginning of more undermining
of homes in the months to come" said
Mr. Bodfish The sensible home
owner realizes that reconditioning OF
modernizing lob contracted for at a
low cost in May or June, 1898. will
probably look like a bargain six OF
eight months from now. Besides tins
natural tendency to strike while the
iron is hot there are many reports OF
cities which are just beginning their
campaigns to get the home-owners to
modernize.
The provision Of more space seems
to be the determining reason why fam
lilies are borrowing money TO recondi-
ton their homes this season. One as
sociation reports that $500 was loaned
TO family which wanted to build an
additional room and complete bath
room onto the four-room cottage they
now have. This Is significant because
it shows that the owners of the home
which is really small, are in the mar
ket for undermining today, as well as
the owners of big homes of the type
constantly being improved by expendi-
lures"
