MILLER BUILDS
IN 6 7 YLE Of
18TH CENTURY
Furnishings Copied From An
tique Originals in British
Museum

The charm of the 18th Century
English Manor House has been
captured by w. c. and A. N.
Miller, and given expression in
the Times Model Home which
opens tomorrow at 4939 Quebec
Street, in beautiful Spring Val
ley.
Inside and out in every de-
tail from the brick exterior to the
furnishings and accessories, the
spirit of the English countryside
has been kept, while the whole
has been adapted to the require
ments of the American taste and
the Washington climate.
Interiors are by Potthast
Brothers of Baltimore, working
in conjunction with Mr.. j. Var
nell Bryant of the Wesley Heights
Shops. They are copied in min
ute detail from Blenheim Palace
in OxfordShire and from Castle
Ashby in Northampton, England.
Construction
The construction throughout is
of brick on concrete footings.
Above the footings on the grade
line. has been laid course OF
slate to prevent the entrance OF
moisture, and to ensure against
drainage into the basement, a
drainage tile has been laid in
loose gravel to carry away sur
face water and evacuate it at a
point below the level of tlSe base
ment floor. Brickwork has been
given a coating of hot pitch.

remote control mechanism for
opening and closing without re-
moving the inside screens which
are integral with the window cas-
ingS.
Basement
Part of the basement is taken
up by a two car garage, provided
with a new type of counterbal-
anced overhead door which may
be opened or closed with one
hand.
One step up from the level of
the garage is the main basement,
containing the laundry trays end
a hot-water heating plant of the
Bryant gas burner type, as we'll as
an automatic gas water heater.
On the same level is the maids
room containing two large win
dows and spacious chest. The
maids bath is adjacent.
First Floor
Upon entering the hall, a coat
closet is to the left. Directly
ahead at the back of the hall
there is stairway to the second
floor, while the basement stair
way is closed off by a door. This
hall measures 17x7.
LIVING ROOM-It is to the

rectly opposite the door and has
a slate hearth surmounted by a
white mantel on simple, classical
lines. To the front of the house
is a bank of three windows. Two
large windows on either side of
the fireplace look to the east. On
the northern side of this room
there is a door leading to the
porch.
PORCH-The porch is 2O.6x19.

Small wonder that being a demo-
crat wrecked the future of one of
the greatest Negroes l have ever
known, Peter H. Clark, an Ohio
educator and later of st. Louis, Mo.
To my youthful imagination, he
was a hero and his only blemish
the fact of his outspoken support
of that unspeakable organization.
Prof. Clark should have ranked
with Douglass-his oratory, knowl-
edge and courage warranted it
but his democratic leanings put a
blot upon his name and spoiled a
brilliant future.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1934-12-14

But Mr.. Clark had the courage
of his convictions. Looking into
the future, he saw what is now be-
coming visible to many in this day
that adherence to one political
division would not bring the hoped
for salvation.
1t will be all but impossible to
convey to the youth of this day the
passionate attachment to the party
of Lincoln of the men and women
of that period.
l can we'll recall the heart sick
ness that overwhelmed me when
on the morning after a national
elections the Cincinnati Enquirer
would blazon forth in screaming
headlines the news of a great ma
tional Democratic victory. To me
and the boys of that day it spelled
nothing less than disaster.
In the light Of those memories,
l can well imagine how the news
of a new alignment of Negro
voters provokes long and serious
reflections.

HEALTH PROTECTION FOR
CHILDREN

Sickness comes easily. Cure
comes slowly. Proper health prac-
tice mitigates the possibility of the
former and obviates the latter.
A child does not have to have
"children's diseases" Prevention
of exposure carried to the nth de-
gree is a safeguard against any
communicable disease. Under no
condition should anyone be know
ingly exposed to any disease such
as measles, chicken pox, whooping
cough, mumps, small pox, diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, pneumonia,
glandular fever, acute rheumatic
fever, influenza, typhoid fever,
poliomyelitis, tuberculosis and
other less common disorders.
A child having these or any of
these diseases should be isolated
and no healthy child should be al
measures rather than political di-
visions. .
We are learning it is better to
go down to defeat-to throw our
votes away, as some will say-with

1t is doubtless the cause for the
furrowed brows of some Washing
ton highbrows who are suddenly
made aware of the strange truth
that thinking Negroes can and will
upset previous conceptions of the
Negroes we'll understood place in
the body polite.
But to me it brings a thought
of change so drastic as to be all
but unbelievable.

Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1934-12-14

The Negro who would support
that party was a traitor to his race.
Even the low-down roustabouts and
the scum of the underworld who
could be induced for money to pass
democratic literature or attempt a
meeting in it's interests were
looked upon with suspicion and dis
dain by even the members of their
disregarded order.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1934-12-14

Just what this connotes for the
country and for the Negro himself
may be understood in part by the
younger generation of the Negro
group who in the past few years
have discovered the inefficiency of
carrying all the eggs in one bas-
ket.
The election of Mitchell to the
congressional niche held by De
Priest offers conclusive and posi-
tive proof of the wisdom of that
philosophy.

TaImage Watkins Points Out Changes
In Future Federal Land Bank Loans
Bonds Will Be Reinforced By Government Capital Of
$2OO0OO,OOO-C Country Bankers Expected To Be
Large Investors In These Securities

bonds should not sell them without
first ascertaining their real market
value"
The Governor particularly stressed
the fact that country bankers prob
ably will be large investors in these
securities since the creditors of farm
ers who are being refnanced may not
all be in the position where they can
hold the bonds so acquired and will
find it necessary to sell them. Secre-
tary Watkins states that these bonds,
which will be rendered to farmers
creditors in payment of the refinanced
Indebtedness, are exempt from all
Federal, State, municipal and local
taxation, except surfaces and estate,
inheritance and gift taxes. They are
lawful security for fifteen-day Dor
rowings by member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve system. They are also
lawful investments for all trust, pub
lie and fiduciary funds of which the
deposit or investment is under the
authority or control of the Govern
ment. The payments of the interest
on these bonds and the repayment of
their principal are guaranteed by the
United States, which means that if
the Federal Farm Mortgage Corpor-
alton should ever be unable to meet
the payments on the bonds, the Treas
ury will assume such payments.
"These bonds will be issued in de-
nominations of 800, $500, and 81 900.
However, amounts less than 800 will
be disbursed in cash. For example, a
loan of 1865 would be made in $500
bond, four 500 bonds and the rest in
cash. In addition, to provide for GER
tain debts, such as taxes which can
not be paid in bonds, cash covering
the required amounts will be provid-
ed.
