Burke doesn't get much to do in a

generally provides a corking good

on the starters becomes a trifie too

upon for the remaining games of the

That washout yesterday hindered

BUSINESSES PROFIT
BY NOISE REDUCTION

Reduction of noise through i'm
provement of acoustics, especially in
restaurants, is one type Of project that
suggests itself to owners of business
property for modernization under the
better housing program of the Federal
Housing Administration.
BY deadening sound, the atmosphere
of a room, large or small, can be
transformed from one of hurry and
rush to one of restfulness.
Many forms of acoustical material
are on the market. In principle, they
provide large quantity of small holes
which absorb the sound waves.
Finished in attractive style, these ma
terials can be applied with ease and
at reasonable cost.
The patronage of a restaurant or
cafeteria. or place similarly crowded,
should increase with acoustical treat

HOME FEATURED
BY UTILITY ITEMS
Thousands Visit GrassIands,
Star Model, Entering
Third Week.

Utilitarian features of the Silver
Star Home, 1920 Forty-fourth street,
Grasslands, which tomorrow enters
its third week of public exhibition
under sponsorship of The Star, are
second only to the quality of its con-
Struction in so far as value to the
home owner is concerned.
The home already mas received the
praise of several thousand person who
have inspected it during the last two
weeks. They were impressed espe-
cially with the value represented by
the house and the many features of
the little structure usually found only
in the larger and more expensive
homes.
1t was felt by The Stars commit
tee of experts who unanimously in
dOrSed the house as deserving a Silver
Star award, that it struck a note in
low-cost construction that is well in
tune with the demands of a large
number of people today. The COM
mittee believed that it would furnish
fitting model for the formation of
public opinion, as well as serve en-
couragement to builders in the con-
struction of small homes of quality.
Opinions expressed openly by the
large number of visitors have already
proved that the committees judg-
ment was true.
Built by Warren.
The home was built by Monroe
Warren, president of Meadowbrook
Inc, as a part of his new Grasslands
development. Four other homes have
been completed in the subdivision,
and it is planned to add more than
80 within a comparatively short pc
riod. Restrictions placed by the
builders assure the future owners of
homes there of refined neighbor-
hood.
Utilitarian features of home, espe-
clally those that would appeal to the
housewife, constitute an item of para
mount Importance in the considera-
ton of homes submitted to The Star
for examination of the committee
headed by James S. Taylor, expert OF
the Federal Housing Administration
and formerly chief of the division OF
housing of the Department of Com
merce. The Grasslands home is lit
orally filled with such features.
The house is designed in such a
compact way that waste space has
been reduced to minimum. The en-
tire plan makes for the utmost con-
venience and utility. Step-saving de-
vices have been installed wherever
practical.

Called Political Attack
Mr.. Brown, after Issuing three
lghtly-veiled barbs against the

today, but his close friends here
said that the Republican National
Committeeman from Ohio re-
garded the probe as a political
attack from a committee con-
trolled by Democratic foe, Sen,
ator Hugo Black, of Alabama.
The ex-PoStmaster General. q
native Ohioan, had said earlier
that he welcomed the opportu-
nifty to appear before the con-
gressional body and expressed
confidence that fair-minded per-
sons would find my administra-
ton an honest one" He de-

ceed with thoroughness and dis
patch"
He indicated, too, that he re-

Black in not giving him a chance
to appear before the committee
at an earlier date, but declined
to comment with the statement
that II do not care to indulge in
personalities with the Senator"
Fess Issues Attack
The offer that Mr.. Brown ap-
pear before the committee if he
agreed to waive immunity from
criminal prosecution came only
after Senator Simeon Fess (RO

from the floor of the Senate.
