Cellars of Long Island Homes
Transformed Into Game Rooms

chintZ curtains in gay modern de-
sign of cream, coral and blue
The furniture, though comfortable
and decorative, turned out TO be dis
carded pieces from above stairs. A
Victorian easy chair was painted clear
blue and upholstered in a coral and
tan printed fabric. Several wooden
kitchen and dining room chairs were
painted coral red and equipped with
French blue denim cushions tied on
with narrow tapes. On the floor was
a large fiber tan-and-blue mat.
For painting the cement walls or
brick work in basement game rooms,
dampproof paints have been pre-
pared. 1t is feasible to paint directly
on the cement floor although, OF
course. it must be entirely free from
dampness. 1t is important that the
cement be treated to neutralize any
free alkali before paint is applied.
Many different color effects are
employed in the new game rooms
from unusual contrasts, such as yell
low walls and orange trim or white
walls with medium blue wood work. to
color schemes with the trim a slight
ly darker shade than the walls
Painted floors are generally in q
darker shade than the walls.
Where pipes cannot be concealed
by cupboards or partitions, they are
painted the same color as the walls
or frankly accepted. In the latter
case they may be painted like the
trim or even an entirely different
color. Sometimes a wall cupboard is
built around gas or electric meter
and locker bench may hide hori-
zontal pipes extending along the lower
part of one of the walls.

The National Control Committee
Of the Lumber Code Authority an
nounced today the lumber production
quotas of the various divisions and
subdivisions for the last quarter OF
1884. The total regular quota
based on expected world consumption
of domestic lumber, was fixed at
3,540 5000 feet, of which approx
mately 62OOOO,OOo feet is for hard
woods and 1920, 100000 feet for soft

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, September az
Foreseeing strong possibility that
the Federal Government may estab-
lish within Fairfax County large
public park and recreation center. a
number of local civic and other or
ganizations are planning an aggressive
campaign on behalf of the project.
The site being advocated for the
park lies partly in both Lee and Mount
Vernon magisterial districts along Ac-
cotink Creek. There is approximately
5000 acres of land, a great part of
it sub-marginal, that would be avail
able for the purpose at a price salts
factory to the Government.
Although definite commitment has
not been made by the Federal Govern
ment regarding the actual establish
ment of the park, several residents
of the county have talked with Gov
ernment officials in charge of parks.
and report there is the possibility such
a project may be carried out either
in Maryland or Virginia, at point
near Washington.
Representatives of the Government
have been over much of the land in
the section under consideration, and
have declared it suitable for the pur-

BUILDING HELD
HARMED BY P.W.A.
League Appeals to Roose-
Welt to Correct "Unfor-
tunate Practices"

Stating that certain unfortunate
practices in the administration of
emergency public works programs
have resulted in waste and have seri-
ously crippled the construction indus
try" the Construction League of the
United States has appealed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to correct these evils
before greater damage can be done to
the countrys second largest indus
try"
In a letter to the President, A. J.
Hammond, chairman of the league,
comprising 20 major branches OF lthe
industry. points out three practices OF
"uneconomical and disruptive char
aCter" which have "Stalemated the
recovery efforts of the industry and
increased the cost of public works to
taxpayers
Three Reasons Cited.
These three disruptive measures, the
letter states, are:
The exclusion of recognized archi-
tects. engineers and contractors from
designing and building jobs on c. w.
A. projects;
The order of the President of June
90. 1884, permitting building material
suppliers to cut their open prices as
much as IS per cent on materials sold
to Federal. State and municipal gov
ernments, and
The order of the Secretary of the
Treasury of the same date barring
architects in private practice from en-
gagement by the public works section
of the procurement division on major
projects in the current building pro-
gram.
This appeal to the President is made
upOn the basis of the economies to be
obtained by employing the industry in
the customary ways and upon the de-
pendence of recovery upon the revival
of construction. While highly CON-
mending the spirit of the Federal re-
covery effort, and admitting that its
present activity is largely due to public
works, the letter states that in the
c. w. A. work the organizing ability
OF contractors was cast aside.
Ignored Demonstrated Leaders.
Designed jobs of major character
we're assigned to architects and en-
gineers on .he relief rolls. The men,
bers of these professions in independ-
ent practice are those responsible for
the boldness and excellence of Amer
ica's architectural and engineering
structures. Yet the Government, in
stead of employing them, used dis
tresSed memberes of these professions
to displace demonstrated leaders-With
resulting serious inefficiency."
Agreeing that relief for members of
these professions was needed and that
their talents should have been used,
the letter says: But there were many
tasks available which would not have
competed with the consulting organi-
cations of these professions"
With c. w. A. now at an end the
same waSteful and diSruptive dangers
lie dormant in the F. E. r. A." the
Construction League statement de-
clares.
The order barring private architects
from employment by the public works
section of the procurement division
on major building projects is called
a crushing decision" by the Con-
struction League.

HOUSING ACT BENEFITS
ARE OPEN TO FARMERS
Loans for Improvements Apply to
Owners of Rural Properties,
Moffett Points Out.

Benefits of the national housing act
with respect to property improvement,
apply to both farm and rural prop
critics and city homes and buildings,
it is pointed out by James A. Mof1ett,
Federal housing administrator.
Success of the moderniaztion pro-
gram is believed by Mr.. Moffett to de-
pend fully as much upon the response
and cooperation of the farmer and
the citizen of the small community as
upon those who live in metropolitan
areas.
At least. the need on the farm for
repairs, alterations and Improvements
is as great as in the city. as indicated
by a current farm housing survey of
the Department of Agriculture.
Preliminary figures of this survey
indicate that out of every 100 farm
houses, probably SO are under the
minimum standard of INABILITY; that
IS out of each hundred houses need
new foundations. IS to 20 need new
roofs. 10 to Is need new floors, 10 need
new walls and a large number lack
bath facilities.

RAIN EMPHASIZES
HOME REPAIR NEED
Downpour Shows Damage
Should Be Remedied
at Once.

Last weeks persistent rains in the
Capital brought out one Of the major
reasons for the organization Of the
Federal Housing Administration and
its drive for home modernization and
improvement.
Prominent in the publicity cam
paign which the F. H. A. launched
to sell" modernization has been the
contention that hundreds of thousands
of homes over the country have suf-
fered from the depression-through
neglect. failure to repair and inabil-
ity of owners to modernize.
All these properties. the housing
organization said. were potential
"modernizers" under the F. H. A.
program-whether they borrowed
money under the Federal insurance
plan set up by the housing act. used
their own savings, or borrowed under
a personal note. mortgage or other
form of financing.
Owner Interest Sought.
II WIS UIlc OWIleIS VI IIltoc ull-
down properties the Housing Admins
tration sought to interest first In
the possibilities offered to lift the
Nation out of the depression through
stimulation of the building trades by
undermining. unemployment of thous-
ands of unemployed men, and ulti-
mate stimulation of all business in the
country.
Last weeks torrential downpours
showed hundreds of homes right here
in Washington that need repair, to
quote builders and architects who
were called in when the rain. started
coming into the houses.
According to Irwin S. Porter. chair
man of the Washington Chapter,
American Institute of Architects, he
was called to several homes where
no money had been spent on upkeep
for five years or more.
AT one home" he said, "a rotting
board beneath a window sill was ad-
mitting water by the bucketful. 1t
was obvious the owner had neglected
it, as it had not even seen paint in
years.
Neglect Brings Damage.
These are the kind of homes, ap-
parently, which the F. H. A. had in
mind when 1t said the depression had
caused untold damages to real estate
properties because of the neglect it
occasioned'
Porter said several other architects
had reported similar instances to him.
The homes are not confined to any
one class. he said, and include man.
sions and more modest homes. An
other Washingtonlan, who told SINH
lar stories of being called to homes
which rain penetrated, was Charles
H. Tompkins, builder.

Measure Glass Outside.

In measuring the glazing area of a
window for new glass, it is best to
take the measurements from the out
side. The dimensions must include
not only the size of the actual OPEN
ing to be glazed, but also the little
Lodges against which the glass will
rest. A rigid measuring rule or a
steel tape is more preferable to q
string, as the latter may stretch.

pose. The point has been stressed
that under no conditions will the Fed
eral Government pay an excessive
price for acreage intended for prof.
est of this type.
Virgin timber covers a portion of the
area. The presence of Accotink
Creek would permit the creation of
several artificial lakes and swimming
pool. 1t is understood the park would
include large central recreation hall
and auditorium, in addition to num-
ber of small cabins and attractive
camping grounds and driveways.

further defining the AAA's rela-

Two legislative items which are
mentioned are:
First, Authority to offer farm

tract covering all commodities
grown on individual farm units.
Second, amendments clarity

The latter were sought of the
last congress but were smothered
by small but articulate opposi-
ton. They will be offered in diff
ferent form at the next session
and differ ent tactics will be used
in seeking their enactment, the
official said.
The AAA axpects to be ready
by late summer, 1885, to offer
farmers the blanket" contract.
1t would work about as follows.
A farmer grows wheat, corn,
hay, grain sorghums and possibly
a little cotton on his land. In
stead of having to sign an ad-
justment contract for each of
these commodities and having to
deal wit hseveral separate county
production control associations,
he will sign one contract cover
ing all of them. His responsible
ity would be not so much to re-
duce as to adjust his crops to
point deemed by the government
to be reasonable in the light of
existing markets.
This method, it was explained,
would eliminate much of the pres
ent administrative expense and
would obviate the necessity for
contracting specific aces.

SOUND MONEY

FIVE years of depression and grind
