Summer Cottages Require
Protection in Winter

The time is at hand when
mountain camp, seashore cottage
and cabin in the woods must be
abandoned. Left on their own,
they must buck the elements un-
til a warmer season rolls around.
A little time spent on recondl-
tioning summertime shacks now,
according to officials of the
American paint, varnish, and
lacquer industries, will see them
through the murky months and
guard against the inevitable de-
terioration that comes when un-
protected surfaces are exposed to
the weather.
Before the vacation cottage is
deserted it should be prepared for
occupancy next year-ready for
your own family or for rental.
Check it over and see if the roof
will survive snow and storms.
Does it need new shingles or
stain? Do the metal flashings
and drain pipes need re-coating?

LEAKING ROOFS
MENACE HOMES

With the approach Of winter,
home owners are urged to turn
their attention to the roofs of
their houSes-a greater potential
menace to the interior of the
home than any other agent ex-
cept fire.
A leaking roof. it is estimated
by officials of the American paint,
varnish and lacquer industries,
can cause hundreds of dollars
worth of damage which easily
can be prevented through proper
inspection and remedial measures
at this time.
The more cut-up a roof happens
to be, it is pointed out, the more
likely it is to leak. This is due
to the fact that metal Hastings
are used in joints, and these, un-
less protected by a coating of
paint. are apt to deteriorate and
admit moisture.
Paint not only adds to the ap-
pearance of galvanized iron roofs,
but also protects against rust.
Roofing metals should be pro-
tected at least every two years.

j. Dallas Grady announces the
removal of his real estate office
from the Derrick Building, 1910
Vermont Ave-, to the ground
floor of 11O4 Vermont Ave. N. w.
Grady has been active in the
real estate business since 1907.
In his early career he was asso-
ciated with Moor and Hiss, Inc,
and later with Shannon and
Luchs, Inc. He has conducted
his own office since 1918.
His experience has covered a
wide and diversified field, and
he has represented numerous
owners as agent in some Of the
largest sales and exchanges made
in the District of Columbia.
BY real estate man and mort
gage companies he is considered
an expert on business property
values, land values and home:
values.
Recently Grady has devoted
his efforts to apartment house
management and appraisals. In
his apartment work, besides hav-
ing appraised for some of the
largest interests in this city, he
has represented the District of
Columbia in some of its largest
condemnation cases. Also, his
advice on real estate values has
been sought by the Federal
Government.
Grady's larger quarters will be
equipped to render an improved
and progressive real estate
service.

Many Apartments Using
Gas Refrigerators

The introduction of automatic
refrigeration some years ago
brought to the housewife a solu.
tion for the proper preservation
of foods and many innovations of
decided advantage to the hostess
in preparing delicious dishes and
beverages.
With the presentation of the
Electrolux Gas Refrigerator to
Washington housewives more than
six years ago, a brilliant page was
added to automatic refrigeration
in the introduction Of new prin-
ciple of freezing, whereby a tiny
gas flame does all the work.
Constant research has made
many improvements in this refrig-
orator and thousands of Washing
ton housewives and apartment ten
ants are enthusiastic in their
praise of its merits.
Air Cooled, No Water
Some of the latest installations
in apartment buildings include the
Belvedere, at 1901 Massachusetts
Ave. N. w.; the Coywood, at 1925
L st. N. w.; the Stanhope, at 735
New Jersey Ave. N. w., and the
apartment building at 1949 Fourth
st. N. E.
The Electrolux gas refrigerator
is air-cooled, no water is needed.
1t is inexpensive to operate, for a
tiny gas flame costs but a few
cents a day.
There is no vibration and no
noise because there are no moving
parts, and the harmless refrig-
Grant used is hermetically sealed
in steel. It's operation is constant
and cold remains steady and crisp,
protecting food.
Defrosting is accomplished with
out stopping and a plentiful sup.
ply of sparkling ice cubes is avail
able at all times.
Silence a Feature
Trigger tray release allows the
pulling out of trays without effort
and the temperature regulator
permits the speeding up for freez-

The Electrolux has a porcelain
interior which is sanitary and is
easy to clean with no seams or
corners where dirt can collect.

and you have only to dust the
screens off when they are put
up next spring. Porch floors and
steps need paint-and it is a good
idea to check the lattice work
around the foundations to see if
a fresh coat of color is in order.
Sum mer refrigerators often
need attention. Give both in
terror nd exterior a coat of
quick-drying enamel and leave the
door wide open. Black stove en-
amel will protect the frame and
legs of your oil stove from rust,
but grease should be applied to
tins and movable parts. If pos
sible, drain off all water in pipes.

The youngsters will enjoy WELD

as well as on that old attic fur
niture which you brought down
to camp. A small investment now
is much more economical than a
heavy outlay next June for re-
pairs caused by the lack of
proper paint protection.

DEBT FREE

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Sixty per
cent of the home owners in
America hold their property debt
free.
This was the statement of Ward
B. Whitlock, of Springfield, ILL.,,
president of the United States
Building and Loan League, in his
annual address before the leagues
convention recently. He urged
the building and loan associa-
tions to use their resources on a
common sense plan of financing.
His address urged all associa-
tions to stand behind the recov-
cry program of the President. In
commenting on some implications
Of the program, the building and
loan leader noted a tendency to
mingle politics and finance in
some quarters, which he did not
believe a totally healthy sign.
Mr.. Whitlock told the building
and loan men to prepare for a
greater volume of home purchases
and of small home construction,
adding:
"The present trend Of prices
point the ambitions Of the
average citizen to the posses
sion of things rather than
stocks and bonds. The home
has the same intrinsic value to
the family which owns it, be
the American dollar worth
seventy cents in gold, or one
hundred cents. 1t is the most
essential longtime commodity
in the nation today"

NEW DEAL SEEN
FOR REALTY

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Organ-
ization of real estate into local
administrative districts, made
possible by the New Deal" is
essential to the economic pro-
gram of the nation, according
to Arthur c. Holden, of the
New York Chapter of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects.
Only by careful and reasoned
planning can low interest rates,
slow and stabilized amortization,
and low capital expenses for
things other than labor be
achieved, Mr.. Holden points out.
He says:
"The day has gone by when
we can just go out and build
without considering the con-
sequences. Every building is a
part of the neighbOrhOOd in
which it is located. 1t is a
part of it socially; it is q
part of it economically.
"If the rent received for it
be out of scale with the neigh.
bOrhoOd, it will affect other
rents within the neighbOrhOOd.
If the ownership be indepen-
dent, it will set up cOmpeti.
tiOn on q price basis. 1t may
disOrganize the economic Struc.
ture of most of the properties
within the district.
"If, however, it is possible
to organize the district as .
unit, to administer it as a
unit, with varied price ranges
set within the district based
upon the quality Of the &C
cOmmOditiOnS offered, then
housing produced under the
new economy will be an or
ganic part of the present struc-
ture and will not compete with
it on a predatory basis"

"House of Magic" Wonders
To Be Exhibited Here

A beam of light thrown the
entire length of the lecture room,

into popular tune, features
one of the many almost unbe-
lievable scientific experiments
which will be demonstrated at
the General Electric House Of
Magic" which is completely
identical in every respect with
the "House OF Magic" now being
shown at the Chicago Worlds
Fair.
This demonstration will take
place the week of September 25
at the Nationa! Electrical Supply
Company, 1928 New York Ave-,
and will be held with two shows
daily, one in the morning and
one at night.
The House of Magic" has been
brought to Washington from the
research laboratories of the Gen
eral Electric Company at Sche-
nectady. New York.
The scientific experiments will
be conducted by two research
engineers from the General Elec-
trio laboratories, DR.. Ellis L.
Manning and Lyle Peer.
One of the ost battling expert.
ments is that of popping corn be-
tween cubes of ice. The apparatus
used in this experiment is the

QUOTA Of LAST
TWO YEARS IS
DEPLETED
Real Estate Board Reports
Growing Demand for
Small Houses

Absorption of new homes erect
ed during the past two and one
half years points to a housing
shortage in the very near future
unless greater amount of home
building starts in the District of
Columbia, according to H. Clifford
Bangs, president of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board.
Figures compiled by the board
snow that permits issued by the
District Building Inspector for
1881 covered the construction of
1,401 single-family dwellings.
During 1882 erection of 919 sin
gle-family dwellings was author
1zed, while for the first six months
Of 1888 permits issued totaled 236,
making a total of 1855 homes
since January /, 1881.
Some Not for Sale
In analyzing these figures the
Real Estate Board points out that
not all of the homes covered in
Lne building permits were erected
Tor sales purposes, as many of the
permits were issued in the names
OF the owners of private properties
not connected with the real estate
business.
Although the activities of com.
mercial home builders have not
been as great the past year or
two, still this group has construct
ed 2,O96 homes, which have been
designed, financed and erected in
anticipation of actual sales, be.
1ieving as they do in the con-
tinued growth and development
Of the National Capital.
Not Visionary
That their plans were not
visionary but were based on a
sane and sound program is shown
by the fact that out of these
2,096 homes, deeds have been re-
corded covering the sale of 2,O76, |
leaving 20 new homes unsold up
to June 80, 1888. |
Since January /, 1888, the
Building Inspector issued per-
mits for the erection of 236 one
family homes. Builder members
of the Washington Real Estate |
Board and other commercial |
home builders in the District of !
Columbia constructed 1862 of these
homes.
Members of the board are re-
porting a steady inquiry for
homes and numerous sales.
