Gov. Buck Sends Bold Mes
sage Concerning Their Res
OlutiOn to Adjourn Friday
WON'T RECONVENE BODY

Governor G. Douglass Buck, in a
special message he transmitted to
the Senate and House Tuesday af-
ternoon, informed the members
that if they are planning to adj
Journ sine die next Friday, in ac-
cordance with a resolution adopted
by both Houses Monday without
rendering any assistance to those
of your fellow men who look to
you to help them keep their fam
lilies from acute suffering, if not
actual starvation, you are unnat-
ural repres entatives of great
State, unsuited and unequal to
cope with a grave emergency" He
further stated that "the insidious,
unbecoming and unbelievable rum
or was abroad that the object of
the concurrent resolution to adj
journ at the end of the present
week was to force the Governor
shortly thereafter to call another
special session of the General As
sembly." He declared that if there
should be any member of the Leg
islature who had such "a selfish
and uhprincipled thought in mind
when he voted for this resolution
it can be accounted for by the fact
that he does not know the Cover
nor of this State" He served no
tice on the General Assembly in
unmistakable terms that he will
not again reconvene the members
in special session and he informed
them that if they attempt to evade
the important issue of relief land
take refuge in your homes at the
close of this week you will incur
the wrath and indignation of an
irate citizenry." He said he could
not believe any member would per-
nit it to be said that lacking fore
sight. courage and ability to meet
an acute crisis you ran home to
hide" He stressed the urgency of
providing relief, especially in Will
mington, stating Delaware is fac
ing a crisis, and added: Il must
insist that this General Assembly
take cognizance of it and enact
some relief measures before you
adjourn that will provide a means
by which we may be able to cope
with it." He pointed out the be-
lief that a one-man relief commits
sion seems to meet with general
approval if such man can be
found and he expressed the belief
that a suitable man can be found
to assume the responsibility of ad-
ministering relief and that suit
able relief bill can be formulated
to meet the exigency. 1t was one
of the most vigorous messages a
Chief Executive of the State has
ever sent to any General Assembly
and the force of Governor Bucks
words left the members of both
branches apparently stunned.

PLANS OF HOUSES
TOLD IN BULLETIN
Farm Home Sketches Are
Observation-Disclosures
Easily Made.

Sketches and floor plans Of 40
houses planned especially for farm
needs appear in new bulletin COM
piled by Wallace Ashby of the Bureau
of Agricultural Engineering just pub
lished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Included are plans for one-story
growing houses" of two or three
rooms to which additions can be made
readily, plans for moderate-sized one
story houses, plans for structures OF
more than one story, and for very
small houses. Sketches of handy and
well equipped kitchens are also shown.
Working Plans Available.
Working drawings with all neces-
sary dimensions and details for build
ing are available from extension serv-
ices of State agricultural colleges, at
a small charge to cover printing and
mailing. The State services handle
this type of information because con-
struction details vary with climate.
There are houses suitable for every
section of the country-for the North.
South, Middle West, Southwest,
Southeast, and for New England and
Pacific States. There are houses with
and without cellars and with heater
rooms or heater space in the house
proper. Roofs are of various types
fiat, hip, pitched and high
pitched, to suit climatic and other
conditions of different regions. There
are houses, including a log cabin, for
tenant farmers, and for farmers need
ing fairly large homes.

MODERNIZING LOANS
TAKE In THEATERS
New Ruling of Housing Admin
istration Permits Repairs From
$100 to $4,000.

Under a new ruling of the Federal
Housing Administration, theaters
which have been allowed to deterio-
rate during the years of the depres-
sion may be repaired under modern
ization loans arranged through ac-
credited financial agencies.
The repairs may cost anywhere
from 500 to $4,000 and the credits
will be extended on the same basis
as repairs or modernization of any
other property, such as dwellings and
stores.
A large number of inquiries are
coming into national headquarters and
to the local units to ascertain If such
property is eligible to loans. The legal
division has ruled that they are, pro-
vided the local lending agency con-
siders the loan good risk. The Gov
ernment will extend the usual loan
guarantee so that the work may be-
gin at once.
Estimates compiled by the theater
industry reveal that approximately
S33,000,000 may be spent to advantage
in putting playhouseS back in condi-
ton. OF course, all of Improvements
contemplated may not be eligible un-
der the regulations, but those that
come within the approved list will
amount to a large sum and materially
stimulate the building industry and
employment.

BUILT-IN FEATURES
IN HOMES INCREASE
Money Is Available Under Hous.
ing Act for Modernizing Of
Interior and Exterior.

Houses today, done in the most
modern manner, may have as many
built-in features as a ships cabin,
practical and convenient for every
day use. New ideas in interior de-
sign contemplate more and more
built-in furnishings in the home.
Grandmother had a pantry and a cup
board and that was all. She didn't
think of built-in beds, built-in elec-
trio stoves and any Of the one hundred
and one built-in f1tments that the
modern women have to save time,
space and money.
Under provisions Of the national
housing act, the first section OF which
Is now functioning under the dlrec-
ton of the Federal Housing Admin
istration, money is available to the
home over for modernization OF the
interior of the house as well as the
exterior. 1t is possible to discard all
the old worn out desks, tables, beds,
book cases, ironing boards, and other
uninspiring articles of furniture, and
replace them with furnishings that
become definitely part of the home.
Built-in furniture Is considered i'm
movable under terms of the national
housing act, and loans up to $4,000
can be made to construct built-in
household equipment.
In ultra-modern houses most OF the
furniture is built in. Certain built-in
fitments are practical and may be
achieved with a minimum of labor and
expense. ANY plan to completely reyo-
lutionize the interior of the house by
discarding much of the furnishings
now in use and replacing them with
built-in features should be considered
first from the standpoint Of utility,
then from locality and finally from
practicality.

Doors Painted in Contrast
With Other Color IN Room,

A delightful innovation which New
York architects and decorators are in
PRODUCING is the painting OF doors in
colors contrasting with those of the
rest of the room. One solid color Is
often used. Sometimes the holdings
are accented with another color or a
deeper shade of the same one. A more
ambitious treatment is to stencil or
paint a free hand decoration on the
panels.
Quantity interesting is the "scrap
book door-often a work Of art by
the amateur-on which are pasted
favorite pictures cut from magazines,
posters and colored reproductions Of
famous paintings. These are covered
with q thin coat Of white shellac or
varnish, to protect them from dust
and the wear and tear of everyday
use.

Generally speaking, hardwood
floors are intended to be finished to
display the natural beauty Of the

transparent finish is commonly used
to permit the natural beauty of hard
wood to remain visible, while in other
cases the floor is stained to obtain
desired interior decorative effects.
Softwood floors are sometimes given

BRITISH BUILDING
BOOM YET SHORT
Government to Engage in
Structure Erecting to
Help Meet Demand.

The current boom of private build
ing in England has failed to take care
of the needs of certain classes in the
country, Miss Alice Samuels, British
housing expert stated in an interview
here this week, and it will be neces-
sary for the government to obtain
another appropriation and to re-en-
ter the home-building business.
Miss Samuels said the government
abandoned its housing program with
the exception of slum clearance sew
eral years ago, when private building
began to show signs of life. Since
then the construction business has
houses have been erected throughout
the island.
To Aid Middle Class.
However, this boom has left a vast
middle class unbenef1ted to any great
extent, and it is anticipated that
another housing bill to take care of
this need will be introduced into
Parliament soon. Since 1919 the
crown has financed approximately
100000 low-cost homes, while through
private enterprise, mostly in the last
few years, 100000 additional home
structures have been erected.
Miss Samuels has just completed a
tour of the United States, during
which she studied housing problems
in most of the principal cities. She
stopped over in Washington while en-
route to New York and her native
land.
Hits Slums Here.
While not setting herself up as a
critic of Americas embryonic housing
program, Miss SamuelS stated that
such "slums" as exist in Washington
alleys would not be tolerated in Eng
land. In her country the buildings
would be promptly condemned by
public health officials and the own
ers would be forced to tear them down
without compensation and the prop
erty placed under the general juris-
diction of the municipal government.
Accommodations would be fur
nished the alley dwellerS under gov
ernment subsidy in her country, Miss
Samuels continued. Unless this is
done, she said, the people would
simply move to another site and con-
tinue to exist in their previous pa
thetic state.
Rents for England's low-cost houses
are adjusted to income. The aver
age such house is constructed there
for $l,750 and rents for $3.50 to So
week, including taxes. This house,
which Miss Samuels estimated would
cost twice as much here, contains
living room, kitchen, bath, two or
three bed rooms and garden front
and rear.

they open, but the inside Of the door
and the walls and shelves Of the
closet may contrast brightly with the
room, providing a flip Of interest
when the door is open. The hostess.
instead Of apologizing for an unkempt
closet, displays it proudly. A color
complementary to the walls of the
room is effective, pastel hues, such
as lavender, pale coral, Spring green
and light blue, being in high favor.
A glossy finish has the advantage Of
being easier to clean.
