 MT Sperry's message is as fol- lows:
 ''In report of the seal sale sub- mitted to me this morning. find the total returns to date to be $3.- 516.00, this amount representing 2.553 subscriptions. This is a splendid response and since there are yet more than 5000 letters to be heard from we are. hopeful of nearly approaching our goal of $5,000. @
 ''In the name of the Anti-Tu- berculosis League I wish to extend our thanks and wishes for a happy Christmas to our generous sub scribers and to the many who have written us expressing their regret at being unable to give"
 Besides the regular mall sale, the seals have been available to the public from booths and self service boxes installed in several of the department stores.
 An unusual feature in connec- ton with the campaign was the erection of duplicate of the fa- nous little red cottage, featured on the seal by workmen from St. Johns parish house. Standing in the parish house yard on West Main street, the little cottage has been instrumental in increasing public interest in the campaign and has been visited by scores of persons each day. It contains Q of posters and educational literature on the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.

they think Tt's Just another false
hope, such as we had In the other
Government projects and half Of
them don't even bother to apply even
though they perhaps could get q
good loan from US without any trouble.
I'VE sincerely hope that the Fed
eral Housing Administration and its
regional directors will take every pre-
caution that the public not receive
such cure-all impressions Of the mod
ernization program as to shake their
faith once again when the facts come
to light. The sentiment that every
family which needs a new porch can
have one, whether they are bankrupt
or millionaires, must not be created.
'The people must understand that
private enterprise institutions are
making these loans, that they are
financial institutions handling other
peoples money, with definite re-
sponsibility for seeing that the loan
is placed where there is reasonable
hope of its being repaid. Unless they
see this there will go up great cry
from every home owner who applies
1Or loan ana is reJecteQ on grounds
of not being a good credit risk And
the antagonism will be reused against
the Government rather than the lend
ing institution.
"The same care should be exercised
to see that the public understands
the actual cost of the modernization
loan to the borrower. Only the other
day read the statement of a newly
appointed regional director that the
would-be home modernizer who is a
reasonably good risk can get the
money at his bank for 5 per cent or
less. Perhaps some of the banks may
make the loans for less than 5 per
cent. but most of them will have to
add on few service charges and the
rate will actually be higher. You
can't expect the home owner to Join
enthusiastically in this plan to ex-
pand mortgage credit and put people
to work If he finds that Willingly
or unwittingly he has once again
been misled."

STANLEY, Va, August 25.-
The little town of Stanley, To-
Gated on the Eastside Highway,
about midway between Luray and
Shenandoah, is enjoying boom.
About 100000 worth of building
has been and will be finished
within the year. it is said, exclu-
sive of the $50,000 high school
building completed last April.
Houses are springing up on
every approach to Stanley. Build
ings started and in prospect in
clude 10 dwellings, l apartment
house, store and several shops.
The proximity of the town to
the Shenandoah National Park
is said to account for a part of
the activity, many of the engi-
neers and park workers having
sought residence here. G. G. G.
camps also have helped. In the
last six months at least a half
dozen persons leaving the park
area have sought homes near
here.

MODEL HOUSE PRAISED

Model houses are the show rooms
of the building industry" says E. L.
Gilbert, Eastern editor of American
Builder Magazine.
II recently saw a model house hav-
ing dining room walls covered with
black wallpaper relieved with brightly
colored flower designs. The ceiling
of this room was finished in alum
mum paint which reflected light from
a flat-shaped indirect lighting fixture
in the center. Chairs in the room
were upholstered in white leather;
snowy linen and sparkling table serv-
ice of late design added the final
touch to a beautiful room"

the first citadel had stood the Tabu-
larium to preserve the laws and de-
crees was erected; the shrine of For
tuna Virilis replaced a temple built
by Servius Tullius, destroyed by fire;
the great warehouses of the Emporium
were constructed on the left bank of
the Tiber, and Julius Caesar adorned
the Forum Romanum with the Basili-
ca Julia and inaugurated another
forum with a temple of Venus.
Under the empire the growth of
the metropolis was even more rapid
Augustus is credited with having de-
clared: You cheer my heart, who
build as if Rome would be eternal"
and he is alleged to have boasted at
the end of his life that he had found
his capital of brick and was leaving
it of marble. To him are ascribed the
Porticus. of Octavia, the temple of
Divus Julius, the Theater of Marcellus,
the Forum August, the Temple of
Mars Ultor, a "sumptuous mansion"
on the Palatine, his own .mausoleum
and many other fruits of architectural
genius. He likewise was an eminent
renovator, restored large number
of structures which had fallen into
disrepair and sponsored both public
and private repair campaigns. The
city in his time was divided into IA
regiones.
Architectural Growth Continues.
His successors also had the builders
instinct, and the establishment of
Rome continued under even such
monsters as Caligula and Nero. In
deed, it was not until Constantine
removed to the site on the Bosporus
which was to bear his name as Con-
stantinople that construction stopped.
Then, a natural cycle appeared to
have been completed; a driving force
which had survived all manner of
troubles was exhausted and collapsed;
the day had arrived when new power
was needed-and it came in the form
of Christianity
But the creative influence of the
church was not Immediately effective.
Through much of the medieval period
of the city's experience the population
was not more than 10000 or 10000.
Pope Julius II and Pope Sixtus v did
what they could to stimulate i'm
provement and Pope Plus TX inspired
much of the plan which now is being
carried out.
Modern Rome Larger.
Thoroughgoing changes were af-
fected in 1870, when the Kingdom of
Italy was organized, and there has
been a rapid increase in population,
due to immigration from other parts
of the peninsula for more than six
decades. A new city is growing up
beside the remains of the old.
Streets have been widened, bridges
have been built, suburbs developed,
the Pontine Marshes reclaimed The
end is not in sight, nor will it ever be.
Rome is an Eternal City"
Probably the population, even in the
AuguStan age, never exceeded 100000.
In 1925, it was reported as 653, ,166;
1881 census claimed 1,008,083. The

WARRENTON, Va, August 25.-
This town, capital of Virginia's horse
raising section, is going in for apart
ments in a big way these days, the
latest venture being renovation of a
large building on Culpeper street and
its rearrangement into a number of
living suites.
The demand for small apartments
has been steadily increasing lately,
so Richard Wallach has undertaken
to revamp his structure, known as the
Chrysler Building, that occupies one
of Warrenton's most historic sites.
The property was at one time the
Methodist Church. However, it was
sold in 1911 to Paul C. Richards. 1t
came into the possession of Mr.. Wal

FACTS|N HOUSING
PROGRAM URGED
Building Loan Head Holds
misunderstanding Would
Be Fatal.
Special pispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK CITY, August 25.-
Pleading for extra care in giving the
public all the facts about the Federal
housing program at the beginning,
I. Friedlander of Houston, Tex, first
vice president of the United States
Building and Loan League, said here
today that the growing up of public
misunderstanding with regard to this
third of the Federal Governments
me-flnancing moves would be fatal
to the confidence of the home owner
In his government. He spoke before
a special conference of building and
loan association officials from New
England, New Jersey and New York.
He cited the general lack of under
standing which had attended the in
ception of the Federal Home Loan
Bank system in 1882 and of the
Home Owners Loan Corp. in 1888,
and said that the public would never
again be persuaded to follow the
Governments lead in these matters
If they were not carefully initiated
into the facts at the beginning this
time.
Hampered by Misunderstanding.
1--WE all know that the Federal
Home Loan Bank system and also
the Home Owners Loan Corp. are
good thinks in themselves, powerful
institutions which have accomplished
and are accomplishing a great deal
of good along the lines of their pur-
pose and design" said Mr.. Fried
lander. But we also know how they
were hampered by the miSunderStand-
ings of the public, how their work
was doubled and tripled by the people
who got the impression that every
body was going to be bailed out of his
home-owner debt, and by those who
thought that here was a heyday
for the smart guy who could get
the Government to take over his
mortgage responsibilities. The new
housing program may suffer the same
setbacks if there is public misunder-
standing about charges and eligibility
for> the loans.
Public Disillusioned.
1--WE cannot attach the blame for
this misapprehension and delay to
any particular group. but we can plead
that it not happen again. Every
financial institution concerned should
cooperate with the administration
in informing the public adequately.
One of the reasons why building and
loan associations cannot find large
outlet for their funds today, suffi-
cient loan demand, is that the public
has been disillusioned. When you
offer them a legitimate loan through
an advertisement or other channel,

was most common among the early
wood houses of the Northern Colonies.
The walls are of frame with stained
clapboards Stimulating the natural
weathered effect in the New England
farm houses. The split cedar shingles
are stained a few shades darker than
the walls.
Because of the compactneSs and
economy of the plan the rooms are
all above the average size rooms in
six-room houses of this type. The liv-
ing room to the left of the entrance

and the dining room open onto an
open terrace at the side of the house.
The service entrance has a three-fold
purpose in that it gives access to the
kitchen, the garage and the cellar.
The stairway to the second floor
lands in a well-lighted hall, which
gives access to the three bed rooms.
The bed rooms are so designed as to
have adequate natural ventilation and
more than normal closet space.
Cubic content of this house is 27,-
