NEW YORK, December 1.-The
Little House, New York's suggested
model home for the American family,
features labor saving and gracious
ness of living as the two prime req
uisites of modern-day existence. And
these two factors we're kept uppermost
in mind when the New York Better
Homes Committee planned the paint
ing Of Americas Little House.
Simplicity. cheerfulness and ease Of
housekeeping are the keynotes of the
modern home The white-painted
walls of the living and dining room
give the maximum of light reflection
and offer surfaces that are easily kept
clean. White is the dominant note on
the lower floor, and in each room care
full attention has been given to the
small details which lend color and in
terest. In the living room, the bright
red lacquer lining of the built-in cor
ner bookshelves adds just the right
amount of life to the white walls and
contrasts pleasantly with the deep
green of the chintz draperieS and the
chairs
Metal Table Has Tan Top.
The white walled dining room has a
painted metal table with a tan top,
lacquer red legs and edge. The backs
and legs of the chairs are of the same

zontal carmine stripe painted about
feet from the floor that relieves the
severity of the gray wall and matches
the carmine telephone table and chair.
Upstairs, in the bed room, arranged
for two boys, the cream -colored walls
harmonic pleasingly with the orange

Nursey Walls Are Pink.
The walls of the nursery are painted
shell pink and the floor is covered
with dark blue linoleum, decoratively
sprinkled with the alphabet. There
are two storage closets in the room
one for toys and one for clothes.
Movable shelves are painted shell pink.
while the background is sky blue with
silver stars. The furniture in the
nursery is pine, rubbed in oil and
waxed.
Even the linen closet comes in for
special attention. Its walls are painted
a golden corn color, and the edges Of
the shelves are striped with blue.
The outside of the house is es-
pecially attractive. The cleaning

LUMbERMANH HITS
HIGHER RAIL RATE
Compton Declares Increase
Would Set Up Barrier
to Building.

Asserting that present costs Of
transportation by rail are excessive
and q substantial deterrent to the
resumption Of general home and farm
building activity. Wilson Compton,
general manager Of the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association, testi-
flying before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in opposition to the ap-
plication for rate increases by the
would "disproportionately increase the
barriers to the resumption of general
building activity"
Supporting his testimony with sta
tistical data largely from Government
sources, Dr. Compton informed the
commission that "a larger percentage
of lumber now moving by rail, II able
to move at all, is being shipped on
rates two or three times more than
the mill price Of the lumber" He
said the ratio was disproportionate to
the value Of the transportation serv-
ices. He declared that freight rate
discrimination against lumber had
resulted in substitution Of other ma
terials totaling in the last Is years
more than 100000 average car
loads Of lumber, and showed that
present rail transportation costs for
lumber were, per ton. one and one
quarter to four times the cost for
competing materials.
The witness showed further that,
whereas inroads on lumber markets
had reduced shipments by 10 per
cent in those areas served only by
rail. the reduction was no more than
so per cent where lower water rates
were available.
Quoting the United States Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
to the effect that with two and one
half million homes in the United
States there is present housing
shortage of 5,000,0 900 homes, with l5.-
600 900 needing repairs and 10000
needing serious structural repairs. He
quoted the United States Department
of Commerce to the effect that 81 per
cent of urban dwellings recently in
ventoried were of lumber construc-
ton. DR.. Compton contended that
lumber might be expected to partici-
pate more extensively than any other
material 'in such additional housing
activity that is expected to develop"
provided circumstances were reason
ably favorable

CENTRAL HEATING
PLANT HELD BEST
Adequate Size, Moderate
Cost and Economic 0per-
alton Considered.

The first requirements of heating
plant for farm or city home are ade-
quate capacity, moderate original cost
and economic fuel consumption.
The Government Health Service and
Government heating engineers are of
the opinion that temperature, humid
ity and motion are most important in
the air we breathe
A house equipped to provide an even
distribution of heat on the most Sc
vere Winter days is best served by a
central plant.
This plant should be equal to emer-
gencies without forcing The original
cost, in view of the fact that there
are many thoroughly efficient warm
all, hot water and steam plants on
the market, will be moderate The fuel
consumption will depend in large part,
regardless of the type of equipment on
the eXpertness or ineXperience Of the
stoker.
Degree Of Lightness.
Another factor of major Importance
is that concerning the degree of
weather tightness of the building. A
heating system which fails to meet
demands in a building without insula-
ton or weatherstripping may prove
highly efficient in building SO
equipped
1t is to be remembered that tenn
perature figures do not always record
the degree of comfort or discomfort
Dry air at ordinary room temperature
may chill the body because it in
creases the rate of evaporation from
the skin.
To restore the heated air of build
ing to approximately the same moist
condition of outdoor air at comfort
able temperatures may require the
evaporation of one-half to three
fourtks gallon per hour, even in a
small home Such vaporizing would
require special equipment, but an or
dinary pan of water on the boiler, fur
mace or stove materially helps.
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that more than 10 per csnt
of the farm homes of the country are
without central heating systems. The
national housing act provides that
loans under the modernization creoit
plan may be made by local financing
agencies and insured against loss by
the Governme IL, so that before an
other year has passed thousands Of
rural property owners may have, in
this respect at Least, the comforts of
the urban dweller.

stalment loan plan. Amortization OF
home loans on a monthly basis would
adequately prevent piling up of short
term mortgage maturities which be-
came such strain upon the credit
facilities of the country in 1882.
Building and loan associations can
be expected to do more and more Of
the home financing because of their
lO4-year adherence to this long term

"Marble.izing" Is Popular.

Old-fashioned painted floors are
now being marble-painted." This is
inspired by the more realistic marble
ized effect developed in Europe. and
consists of spatters in varied shapes
of white on gray ground. Another
wey to treat an old floor is to paint
or stain alternate floor boards in ini
tation Of light and dark oak.

Enamel Easy to Keep Clean.

Enamel is really varnish to which
color, in the form of pigment, has been
added. The resulting finish may have
a high luster or none at all. depending
upon the ingredients. In either case it
is durable, waterproof and easy to

Advice of Engineers.
In order that home owners get
the most effective and attractive re-

aware of new economical devices that

STILL WORKING
| TOWARD RETURN
| OF PROSPERITY
GOVERNMENT EFFORTS ARE
NOW BEING MADE TO FIND
EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY
SHOWN TO BE IDLE


WASHINGTON, July I4.-With
respect to the main detectives of
the recovery program to get men
and money back to work, the pres
emit efforts of the administration
are impressive.
Whether these efforts will sue
eeed fully remains a matter of de-
bate, but unquestionably hope is
rising in Washington.
Summer dizziness is expected, as
a matter Of course. The normal
fall upturn is looked forward to,
however. as eneompassing large
possibilities.
Chasing Idle Money
The task of getting idle money
out of hiding, into the channels
of trade, has proved the most
stubborn of the recovery prob
lens.
Mr.. Hoover sought to master it
through various credit agencies.
Mr.. Roosevelt has intensified that
effort and congress now has
added the leverage of strongly
persuasive legislation.
Under the credit expansion act,
the government has gone into
partnership with the reserve
banks in lending. A little-men-
toned clause in the tax revision
act puts a penalty on idle cor
poration SURPRISES. The housing
act. by insuring loans for home
Improvement, seeks TO allay the
fears of bankers.
Through these and other means.
the administration is turning on
the heat" in a manner unequalled
at any previous stage of the de-
preston. If the excess reserves
of the federal reserve system
now running well above a billion
and half-do not shrink before
fail, it will be because Washing
ton is unable either to coax or
force them down.
Jobs For 100000?
The housing program will be
the main reliance of the re-
employment drive.
Big figures have become so
common that nobody batted an
eye when James A. Moffett, the
new housing administrator. pre-
dicted the program eventually
would put 100000 men to
work.
Mr.. Moffett is rated as. an ex-
perienced business executive, not
dreamer. Presenting he is seri-
Gus about his statistics, the hous-
ing venture must take rank at
once as one of the most am
bilious of the recovery program.
