S941 IN VIRGINIA
State Thirtieth in Median
List of CensuS--FeW Over
$1,000 Mark.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, January 13.-
More than half of the dwellings, owned
by Virginia farmers are valued at less
than $1,000, census figures issued by
the Department of Commerce revealed
today The median value of these
dwellings,, the statistics showed, was
only S941, placing Virginia thirtieth
among the list of States, but ahead of
all other Southern States.
Less than 5 per cent of the Old
DOminionS operated farm dwell
ings were valued at SIS 900 or more. Ten
ant-operated farms were valued at much
lower figures with more than 65 per
cent of them worth less than 81 900
and only 4 per cent are worth $1,000
or more.
The median value Of tenant-operated
farms was less than $500. giving Vir-
ginia a place among the Nations low
est Is States in this respect.
In the South Atlantic district ony
Delaware and Maryland appeared u
better advantage than Virginia, witt
West Virginia North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida holding
lower rank.
Department of Comm cree experts in
commenting on the relatively low me-
dian value in the Southern States said
the situation was attributable to
'cropper" tenants.
Forty-four per cent of all of the farms
operated by owners in the United States
are valued at less than $1,000. the re-
port showed, and only about per cent
are valued at $4,000 or more. In the
tenant class about IS per cent are be-
low $1,000 in value, with little more
than l per cent valued at $1,000 and
over.

i ture which she already has. But
new interest and atmosphere oil
| leisurely formality will be introduced
by means of classic background and
by the addition of few judiciously Sc

In the new plan, all woodwork, in
cluding the dado is painted white, and
panelings in the doors are picked out
in silver The upper walls are covered
with softly cleaning silver paper. Above
the simple white mantel there is large
mirror panel. This background. alto
gether, makes the room seem much
larger than it really is, at the same
time giving a pleasant emphasis to the
rich depth of the mahogany furniture.
Long draperieS at the windows are
of heavy white Silk. in rough weave.
with horizontal bands of brilliant blue
and black across the bottom. These
are shown in the accompanying illus
tration. Draped valances are of bril-
liant blue silk, hung from mirror COR
nice boxes. White Venetian blinds
with bright blue tapes are used in lieu
of glass curtains
On the center of the mantel shelf
there is white porcelain bowl. filled
with multi-colOred flowers. This is
flanked by crystal girandoles with
white candles lighting the table at
meal times. In addition. there is a
crystal and silver ceiling chandelier.

with the mahogany dining table, have
seats upholstered in washable white

are painted fiat white The white
pilasters are repeated at each side of
the doorways end fireplace Window
draperies are of heavy linen. with a con-
ventionalized floral design in gray tones
on a blue-green ground. These are
lined with white sateen.
Modern furniture, quite restrained in
design, is Of cherry, with black and
gold decorations The seats and backs
of the dining chairs are upholstered in
pinky beige ribbed frieze. Between two
windows there is a handsome buffet
and the only adornment is a pair of
modern vases holding white flowers.
Consoles flank the doorway leading
into the room. Above these consoles
are modern floral paintings mounted
on mirror mats, in narrow cherry
frames A large modern rug. in shades
of blue-green and beige, almost COM

could readily see that the site selected
facing a wide and straight avenue OF
one of the most classical of cities, sur
rounded by classical buildings and lying
in the very shadow of the classical
dome of the Capitol itself, would be
inappropriate for an Elizabethan build
ing.
The early renaissance architecture
of England. which harmonizes SO well
with the winding streets of oxford, Oh
the picturesque landscape of country
seats, would be quite out of place in
Washington, and the library, if renais-
sance in type. would clash with its
immediate neighbors. the Library OF
Congress and the Supreme Court Build
ing. 1t was therefore agreed that the
architect should have full freedom in
designing the exterior to harmonic
with its surroundings while making
the interiors derive their inspiration
from Shakespeare's England.
This point settled. the problem was
to provide for the housing of % a
world famous library, % collections CT
paintings, sculpture and curios. consti-
tuting a small museum, and 80 a
small theater to be used for the pres
entation Of Shakespeare plays in
their original staging. and for lectures
and concerts. Accordingly, the follow
ing division in three distinct sections
was adopted:

manuscripts; individual study rooms,
stack rooms With allowance for future
growth, a catalogue room, Offices for

The design of the facade can be said
to center in a set of nine panel reliefs
depicting scenes in the famous plays
of -Shakespeare-'A Midsummer Nights
Dream Romeo and Juliet The Mer-
chant of Venice Macbeth Julius
Caesar King Lear Richard the
Third, Hamlet and King Henry w
These panels are the work of John
Gregory, and the interest in them
shown by visitors is testimony to their
merit. The sculptor has obtained an
intimate union of sculpture with archi-
lecture a thing seldom achieved. In
telligible to all, his characterizations

are nevertheless plastic, and avoid the
pitfall of anecdotal sculpture. Through
their own merit, and through their un-
usual location near the level of the
eye instead of, as is customary, near
the entablature of the building. these
panel reliefs successfully answer one
