the North Washington Realty Co. S
ONCE in Silver Spring.
The latter concern also carried out
the second largest commercial de-
velopment by erecting a $4,000
building in Silver Spring for the
Walsh Motor Co.
Martin F. Iverson, building in
Spector for the eastern district. said
that 165 new homes were represented
IN the 27l permits which he issued
during the year, while figures from
the other sectors showed that the
total number of new homes total ap-
proximately 800.
IVerson said the principal residen-
tlal developments in his district were
carried on by the North Washington
Realty Co. at South Woodside PARK,
Sligo Park Hills and North Hills.
Eighty homes ranging in value from
$4,000 to $4,000 were built in those
subdivisions during the year.
A number Of $4,000 residences also
were erected in Wynnewood Park
and Woodside, he said The largest
single residential job in the eastern
area was the building of a $4,000
home in the latter community.
Five Areas Lead.
j. Fred Imirie, the county's senior
building inspector, declared the fore
most realty developments in the west
ern suburban area were carried on in
Westmoreland Hills, Chevy Chase,
Meadowbrook, Rollingswood and
Crestview.
Imirie said approximately Is
homes valued from $4,000 to $40, 900
were built in Rollingswood by cor
porations and individuals, while
nearly SO homes valued from $4,000
to $4,000 were erected in the other
communities by the Allen E. Walker
Co.. the Chevy Chase Land Co.,
Thomas J. Fisher Co., Monroe War
rem, Inc, and George F. Mikkelson
g. Son.
Twenty homes priced from $500
TO $4,000 were built In Crestview,
he said.
The $500 900 school construction
program now being carried out with
p. w. A. and county funds was begun
during the year and will be completed
within the next three months. Fiji
teen new buildings, including two
senior high schools in the suburban
districts, and additions to existing
buildings, are provided for in the
school schedule.
Another public structure, the COM
bination liquor warehouse, dispensary
and Office building at Silver Spring
was begun by the county this year
and IS to be ready for occupancy
shortly. It will cost approximately
$4,000 to construct.

Status of the proposed APEX" build

at Constitution and Pennsylvania ave-
nues, at the eastern point Of the great
triangle, Is uncertain, but funds have
been requested from the Public Works
Administration for its construction.
Plans are completed and the site
cleared. It could be started in 1885.
Nothing definite has been promised
for any Of the other unfinished parts

on an addition to the Internal Revenue
Building, which is to be completed in
September.
In addition to these developments
in the building triangle, the Treasury
Department Procurement Division also
has been constructing during 1884 an
addition to the Federal warehouse in
Southwest Washington, which will be
finished in April.
Interior Site Acquired.
Land rapidly is being acquired for
the new Interior Department to be
built by the Treasury on a site bound
ed by Eighteenth, Nineteenth, c and

to determine the nature Of the subsoil
and wrecking of buildings on the site
probably will start in February. A

AirCOnditiOning
Built-in Unit System for
Air Conditioning Is
Least Expensive.

Many home owners who have en-
joyed the comforts Of air conditioning
in restaurants, theaters and other es-
adjustments have seriously considered
installing equipment In their own
houses. However. upon obtaining es-
Inmates Of the cost Of such an installa-
ton, they have found 1t to be beyond
their means and have had to abandon
the idea.
OF course, when some inventive
genius devises a machine that will

mer and cost even less than present.
day cooling plants, that situation will
not exist. Until that time. however.
or at least until prices on present
equipment are lowered, the problem
must be solved in some other way If
the average home owner is to get relief
from Summer heat and humidity.
Built-in System Best.
When the house Is already built, the
built-in unit system. utilizing a num-
Der of compact cabinets, one placed In
each room to be cooled, Is uusally
less expensive than a central system.
1t Is merely necessary to connect these
units by means Of pipe or tubing and
the house Is not disturbed to a great
extent. But If the central system is
contemplated, this necessitates tearing
out portions Of the building In order
to install the air ducts. This Is rather
q costly and dirty operation, except
IN the case Of single-floor or bunga-
low-type of installation, where 1t is
possible to place sheet meal air ducts
in the walls with a minimum Of cut
ting and patching due to the short
distance from the central supply to
the air outlets In the rooms.
II the builder Of q new house makes
provisions for the Installation Of
sheet metal ducts in the walls as the
structure Is going up, a central sys-
tenn can usually be installed less ex-
pensively than a unit system. BY
gathering the machinery together in
one point in the basement, the use of
number Of single cabinets Is elimi-
mated, making the cost of the equip
ment and its installation considerably
lower.
SVAnP oOoOF NNOSt Expensive
The most expensive single item in
either the unit or central system of
air conditioning is the refrigeration
compressor. This is easily understood
when one considers that this piece of
machinery must supply q cooling ef-
feet equivalent to the melting of five
or six tons Of ice in "a hours, or that
thirty average size domestic refriger-
ators would have to work continue
ously to obtain equal result. It is
unfortunate that the compressor must
be SO large when the conditions re-
quiring large amount of cooling do
not occur many times In the course
Of a season, but here the same situa-
ton exists as in the power require
ments of an automobile. It is not
often that all the available power
Of an automobile Is used to pull us
over steep mountains or speed US
along at 80 miles per hour. but it is
very valuable to have for extreme
conditions. The average air-condi.

she would enjoy at that moment was
the sound of Ions wheels, pretended
to be interested "What?" she asked.

"Yes," Anne smiled, there seems

Marian's attention was arrested. She
had wondered how Silver maintained
her home on such a lavish scale; this
might account for it.

cured" she remarked
mo, according to Nora, Cliff is all
worked up over Silver's magnanimous
lie, the one that saved his life. When
ever Nora objects to his writing her
or having anything to do with her, he
shuts her up with the remark, Can't
you be generous enough to thank her
for forcing me to live?' Nora says it's
worried him a lot that he didn't make
a more generous settlement at the
time of the divorce"

G. U. OBSERVATORY
DIRECTOR HONORED
DR.. Paul A. McNally, S. J., Is
Made Astronomical Union
Member.

Recognition of high order has
come to DR.. Paul A. McNally, S. j.,
director of the Georgetown University
Astronomical Observatory, whose elec-

nounced yesterday. He has been ap-
pointed to serve on Commission IS
dealing with eclipse work.
DR.. McNally headed the George
Gown expedition into Maine to OBJ
serve the total eclipse Of the sun in
1882. It was chiefly in recognition
Of the success Of this expedition, the
first of its kind ever sent out by the
local university, that he was chosen
to membership in the union.
Election to this body, which COM
prises the inner circle Of the leading
astronomers in the world, is done
secretly and without their advance
knowledge. The union is the parent
organization Of all the other societies
in this field of science.
The Georgetown Observatory To-
Gated its eclipse station at Fryeburg,
Me-, near that of the United States
Naval Observatory, the National Geo.
graphic Society and other stations
maintained by some of the leading
observatories. DR.. McNal!y's photo
graph of the total eclipse was pro-
nounced one Of the finest ever taken.
Requests for copies of it have come
