an integral part Of the design of the
house.
True American House.
No attempt is made to follow any
definite architectural style, the idea
being to provide a simple and digni1ed
residence which speaks Of home and
comfort to the beholder. In short, it
is true American house for true
American people.
AS Washingtonians spend great
deal of their Summers on their
porches. an ample one has been pro-
vided in this house plan. 1t is placed
at the rear of the house to insure
privacy and should face south-the
front Of the house with its utilities
being to the north.
The house should have lot of
about go feet width by about lao feet
depth and should slope very slightly
to the rear, although lot with a
steep slope TO the rear would be excel
lent as it would then allow a two
story porch on the rear adjacent to
the recreation room. The building
contains $4,000 cubic feet.

TIME above house plan, prepared
as another in the series Spon-
sored by Washington archi-
Il tects for publication in The
Star, was designed by Carroll
Meigs, architect, for those whose needs
demand ample space and who at the
same time desire house small in
appearance, with all the charm and
picturesqueness that goes with the
small home. It offers ample sleeping
accommodations for the average
family and an extra room with bath,
normally used as study, for the oc-
casional overnight guest.
The living room is comnodious and
connects directly with the dining
room. both giving out onto the large
porch facing to the south. The kitchen
is compact and modern and has direct
access to the front door without pass
ing through the living quarters. The
study, which is convertible to an
extra bed room for guests, Is removed
from the main portion of the house
so that noises and other disturbances
are minimized. 1t has its own bath
and closet. ss soe>s sssG4s1- w
The house is entered at level two
steps above the main floor level, from
which point a portion of the living
room is visible through the large arch
way opposite. Two coat closets are
provided.
Has Recreation Room.
The basement has a large recrea-
ton room and fireplace and is directly
below the living room. The basement
stairs are easily reached from both
service and living portions of the
house. The laundry is under the
kitchen and the boiler room under the
dining room. The room under the
study is used for storage.
The second floor has desirable
master suite with individual bath and
large closets. A child's room, another
bed room and bath opening into the
hall, complete the upstairs layout.
The use of insulation on the roof to
insure comfortable living in hot
weather and economical heating in
cold weather is considered an absolute
essential in any house Of this type.
The cost of such insulation will reim-
burse the owner in very short time
by decreased Winter fuel bills.
The exterior is designed to be built
of stone and is simple in the extreme,
relying almost entirely for its charm
on the roof lines and chimneys. The
smaller details, such as the entrance
door and wrought iron lamp over it,
furnish the decorative elements, and
planting of shrubs and flowers form

tablished where desired, but would
not include within its Jurisdiction any
area for which local control board
had been established.
The amendments also would en-
power local control boards TO select
their own administrators, arrange
their own budgets and made their
own assessments.
The principal allegiance the local
organization would owe the national
enforcement set-up would be obedi-
ence to the minimum wage and MAXI
mum hour provisions In the national
code.
The budget of the National Code
Authority for q period from April 10,
1894, TO June 16, 1885, also would be
discussed at the hearing. This budget
provides for a cut in half of the
maintenance assessments. Individual
brokers would be required To pay So
each and co-partnerships or corpora
tions SIS. Members of both classes
would be assessed so cents for each
additional salesman employed.
WOutu IOtai @JosOOO.
1t is estimated that the foregoing
assessment would produce SOS, 1000,
the sum expected to be needed.
No complete classified list of real
estate brokers Is available, but the
code authority estimates there are
20 900 individual brokers. who would
pay total of 100000; 5000 corpora
tions or co-partnerShips, who would
pay $50 900, and 10000 statesmen for
whom their employers would pay
total of $4,000.
The amendments make the estab-
lishment of q local control board
mandatory on the national authority
If, In any area, so or more industry
members request it. and it is not
opposed by an equal number In
areas where rs or more industry
members petition the national au-
thority to establish a control board
in their locality, the authority would
have the option of refusing the re-
quest If such action was deemed
proper,
Local, State or regional control
boards would consist of not less
than three nor more than seven men,
bers.
A club to compel registration of in
dustry members is furnished by a
proposed rule which would prohibit
brokers paying a commission TO, or
dividing a commission with, ,any one
who has not registered with the code
authority. This of course, does not
apply to the payment Of commission
to brokers' employees.

The problem mainly lies IN the

ANY effort at solution OF the

Of the American Institute Of Archi-
tects is urged in a report of a study
Of small homes Just completed by VII
bur r Hanawalt at the Western Re-
serve University Graduate School.
The council. 1t is declared, should
be composed Of architects. landscape
architects and interior decorators. Its
first task would be to cooperate with
existing organizations in establishing
a national clearing house Of informa-
ton on housing and home subjects
to function as a centralized service
to local home information units,
which IT Is proposed to organize
throughout the country.
Action. the report asserts, Is neces-
sary before a new prosperity fixates
old attitudes and procedures. six
million American families will not
wait, it says. They will find some
way out-the right or the wrong. The
many agencies now dispensing archi-
tectural information to the public
must and will organize their actiyi-
ties in some way.
Taste and Culture.
1.-The mass of homes that makes
up 81 per cent of all houses in the
country is the foundation upon which
the entire pyramid of taste and cul-
ture must be based The building
profession must reclaim this field, be-
fore other agencies pervert it TO other
standards than those of sound con-
struction and good taste. Unless. a
practical solution is adopted, archi-
tects will find their work, as well as
all art, pushed down toward the
status of superficial accessories to
luxury.
To-day there is a Nationwide de-
mand for solution to the problems
that are obstructing the Nations
home building industry. The need is
felt chiefly In three directions: BY
masses of poorly housed people, by
industry and by the building profess
sionS-architects, interior decorators
and landscape architects.
The small house as a class COM
prises the overwhelming bulk of resi-
Dental building, and the trend indi-
Gates that it is in this field that most
emphasis will fall during the next
several years. The least technical
advancement has been made in the
small house in proportion to its i'm
portance. Both architects and in
terror decorators have been so busy
with artistic, technical, and profess
sional matters that they have not
looked at the problem of houses for
the lower-income groups from the
homemakers' viewpoint.
