Members OF the association now may
have homes built at q price which Mr.
Collie estimates to be Is per cent less
than the ordinary cost. The associa-
ton has 1,150 workers on its rolls
drawn from practically every Federal
department and agency in Washington
Membership Not Limited.
Other Government employees, how
ever, may take advantage of the asso-
ciation's financial arrangements, since
there Is no limitation on membership.
The final preliminary step in the
home e-purchasing movement was taken
this week when bids were opened and
the contracts awarded to two local
builders. c. H. Galliher and o. T. and
w. A. Carr, who now stand ready to
begin construction.
Mr. Collie expects the work Of his
organization to prove a considerable
stimulus to home ownership in Wash
ington, despite the pay slashes and the
uncertainty brought about by govern
mental reorganization.
He emphasized that the cooperative
purchasing would not result in stand
ardization. Prospective home owners,
he declared. will be allowed to select
any type Of home they desire and it
will be built for them at price based
on the quotations on model home
made by the contractors.
This model home" was the result of
an analysis of the desires Of the MEM
bers of the association. A survey
showed that the majority of the Gov
eminent workers wanted six-room de-
tached houses. Accordingly plans were
drawn and approved. George T. SAINT
myers Of this city was the architect.
Time for Payments.
Payments on the homes bought under
the associations arrangements may be
completed in three, five, ten or fifteen
years. Fifteen per cent Of the purchase
price must be paid down. Contract
forms for the home purchases were
drawn up for the association by the
Department Of Justice and, according
Evening star., 1933-06-17

to Mr. Collie. every precaution was
taken to safeguard the interest Of tho
Government workers. Officials of the
Bureau of Standards and the supervis-
ing architects Office approved the speci-
fications for the model home" Mr..
Collie said.
The houses may be built In the Dis
trict or in nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia on sites selected by the indi-
yidual.
The cooperative purchasing move
ment began last Fall through outside
leadership. which later was discarded.
The association was incorporated in
October and when its membership
reached $50 negotiations were COM
menced with various builders. Circu-
larization of Government departments
resulted in more members, and when
there were TOO on the rolls steps were
begun which resulted in the present
arrangements.
Mr.. Collie said he was hopeful the
association might continue to function
for the benefit Of its members after
their homes were built by cooperative
buying Of equipment and furnishings.

SAWMILLS SHOW GAIN
IN LUMBER ORDERS

Lumber orders at sawmills during the
week ending June 10 totaled more than
during any week since october, 1880,
according to figures Just compiled by
the National Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
The compilation was made by means
Of telegraphic reports from regional
associations covering the operations Of
636 leading softwood and hardwood
mills. Production and shipments also
continued TO increase, the statistics
showed, being approximately 7 and 8
per cent higher than in the preceding
week and topping every week since Oc-
tober, 1881.

Ventilation Is Unique
Feature of Local
Architect $ Plan.
ROOF SPACE HAS
AIR CONNECTIONS
House, Garage Entrances
Combined for Added
Conveniences.

Novel In plan, the home idea Of
fered today by the Washington Chap
ter, American Institute of Architects,
presents pleasing appearance and is
particularly designed to meet the
weather and living conditions in Wash
ington.
The plans presented were prepared
by Joe Harry Lapish, architect In the
office OF H. w. Peaslee. and are the
fifteenth in series sponsored by the
chapter for publication in The Star.
The house is designed with the spe-
ciflc idea OF embodying features making
it ideal for climate here, both Winter
and Summer.
Climate Considered.
In drawing his plans the architect
took into consideration that the cli-
mate for the Middle Atlantic States
requires ample ventilation during the
hot months, for although mechanical
ventilation Is possible there still re-
mains strong prejudice against hav-
ing all openings closed as is necessary
for the operation of this artificial sys-
tenn. An equally important require
ment for house in this section is
warm walls for Winter.
The house presented here is unique
in the manner in which it meets these
requirements. Every master room has
ventilation on three sides. A covered
terrace IS available from the dining
and living rooms and open terraces
adjoin every bed room.
The roof space Is ventilated with
connections into special flues of the
chimney and q grill in the second
floor stair hall ceiling allows hot air
to rise and pass out through the CHM
neys. These openings can be closed
in Winter The fact that all the walls
are furred insures greater warmth in
cold weather Access to the roof space,
which may be used for storage, Is
gained by means Of a disappearing
stairway in the ceiling Of the secondary
hall.
House and Garage Entrances
The house and garage entrances are
combined for added convenience as the
city family usually arrives and leaves
by automobile. The possibility of driv-
ing straight through the garage is
shown in the drawing. This feature
eliminates any necessity for backing
The door Of the garage is ideally 10
Gated for installation Of the electric
eye" for opening the door without get
ting out of the car.
For economic reasons the walls are
of poured concrete which lends itself
to unlimited variation in color and tex
ture. In keeping with the concrete
walls the saslles are of bronze or steel
which may be painted brilliantly. The
roof Is Of sheet copper with raised
seams and when allowed to oxidi1e takes
on q beautiful patina.
The house would cost approximately
$4,000.

STATES BEHIND
|NPLANN|NG WORK
Construction With Federal
Aid to Get Under Way in
Many, However.

While it is Of major Importance that
construction start simultaneously all
over the country under the Federal pub
lie works program, a large number of
States still have not advanced planning
to a point where work can start
promptly when Federal money is avail
able.
This Is shown in q review Of activi-
ties, or lack of activities, In the States.
Several States, however, are particu-
larly active and are rapidly placing
themselves in a position to reap i'm
mediate benefit from the allotments
and loans of Federal funds.
In Indiana, Gov. McNutt's Unem-
ployment Relief Committee and the
Indiana Committee for Trade Recovery
have completed surveys and listed pro-
jects which are needful and provide
much employment. Mayors of all In
diana cities, county auditors and county
commissioners, gathered at Indianapolis,
have pledged themselves to use every
effort to start building as soon as pos
sible.
Program In Ohio.
The Ohio Public Works Commission,
following its Statewide survey, has is
sued q program calling for the expendi-
ture Of $124,oo0,0 900. Slated projects
were selected after consideration of
community finances, the number of un-
employed and the number receiving
doles.
The Louisiana Committee for Trade
Recovery has listed more than 1000
projects which would provide employ
ment for one year to more than 100000
persons. The committee is working
closely with State, city and parish Off
cials.
Under the leadership Of the Texas
making ready to inaugurate $780,
100000 construction program, and SO
Texas stands near the top Of the list
Of States ready to carry out the Fed
eral program.
Washington officials point out that
only through simultaneous action In
every State and local community can
the Federal program be most effective
in providing jobs. With large construc-
tion programs under way in all COM
munities, jobs and consumption of goods
will increase to the fullest degree.
Jobs Primary Object.
Many leaders are of the opinion the
public must be brought to realize that
the prime objective of the Federal plan
Is to provide jobs and to reduce the
billion dollar year dole expenditure.
It is further asserted that all responsible
citizens should demand that local and
State officials get busy and make def
mite arrangements to build needed pro-
jects without loss Of time.
The $500 ,000, 900 Federal program
includes upward of 100000, 900 for
highways, grants 30 per cent of the
cost of other projects outright. and
permits local governments to borrow
the remainder Of the cost at low In
terest rates.
Senate committee revision Of the
highway section Of the bill removes the
S400 0,000000 road fund limit and sets
that figure as a minimum. This rec
ognizes the belief Of many that high
ways offer the outstanding opportunity
to provide work.

A TEST

The past few years have been fraught with ex
periences which have sorely tried the soul of the
civilized world. No nation is exempt no race is
free from the complications and difficulties which
have stopped industrial progress, and blocked
commercial enterprise. Agriculture loses the land
which has produced bountifu harvest, while in
the city hungry thousands clamor for food.
Call it what one will-depression, hard times
it has brought to their knees the kings of finance.
The great leaders of the various nations struggle
more or less bndly with a mighty octopus,
while millions stand by helpessly.
Yet despite this upsidedown situation, a bright
spot-small tbs true, but shining-stands out
Nations as we'll as individuals are being tested
in these fires of adversely which burn off the
veneer of egotism and sefshness and leave the
naked soul standing there. More often than not,
it stands glowing unafraid! And it is the glow
from such, few though they be, that may light the
way for the world to find itself. Health Pilot.

THE END

The final chapter on the History of Irrigation
in this valley is published in the Spokesman this
week. The story written principally for those
who although they have known first hand what
has happened during the last few years, have had
only an indefinite idea of the facts and circum-
stances that led up to these happenings.
In the spread of years that have elapsed since
the inception Of the old Hartford project only a
few remain who know all the facts 70 them, the
reading of the published history was like looking
again at the family album.
Those who unfamiliar with the early his
tory of the project found much of interest in the
STORY
So many requests have been received that the
Spokesman has decided to reprint in pamphlet
form g How Irrigation Came to the Valley" and
these pamphlets will be available in the next few
weeks.

Letters From
Our Readers

To the Editor:
In last weeks issue of the Spokes-
man there appeared an article en-
titled, "Babying Convicts."
Mr.. Editor, with your permission
would like to write few lines on that
subject.
No one, without having first been an
inmate of penal institution can pos
sibly understand the exact degree OF
punishment, particularly of mental
nature, man endures who puts in one
or more years in penitentiary.
No doubt the party that tossed those
bills into the legislative hopper real
lied what the family of the convict
was undergoing through their love and
loyalty.
am sure if the one who wrote that
article really understood what it means
to face criminal charge, fully realized
what convict made his perfectly in
nocent family suffer shame and pos
sibly want I don't think there would
be any necessity to construct substan-
tial additions to the penitentiary.
You, perhaps like the good Judge
who sentenced him, will say, why
didn't he think of all that before he
committed the crime for which he and
his family have suffered?"
Because most crimes are committed
with no thought of consequences, he
is usually one whom force of circum-
stances has more or less pushed into
a position from which he cannot ex-
tricate himself
am not unfolding all criminals,
nor do believe that those who COM
NIT crimes are totally unconscious OF
the differences between right and
wrong.
I do know that too many men are
sent to the penitentiary for minor
crimes, and for that reason believe
it is costing the taxpayers sums of
unnecessary money.
Can you possibly realize that the
friend who spoke to you cheerily the
last time you met, the banker, your
lodge brother, the Office holder you
voted for, the minister's son, perhaps
the mothers son Of whom she was
SO proud, Of whose future she had
such high hopesare the ones that have
walked through those gates, donned
prison garb and become number?
A few years ago if we drove horse
into town and left him tied out in the
cold without blanket or feed we
would expect arrest in short order by
an officer Of the humane society and
a charge Of cruelty to animals, but
a man who perhaps had done nothing
more than steal something to eat or
the wherewithal to eat is often bundled
