BACKS n. R. A.
Continues Injunction Pre-

Violating Wage Clause.
Nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, August ia Federal
Injunction restraining John Whitley
from violating the wage and hour
provisions of the NJ r. A. construction
code was continued in effect today
by Circuit Judge Samuel H. Sibley
after a sensational hearing which in
cluded an affidavit by the State high
way engineer that supplemental
clauses had been inserted in Whitiey's
contracts after they had been ap-
proved by the Highway Board.
The temporary injunction under
which Whitley was placed week ago
was continued in force by Judge
Sibley's order until further order of
this court"
State Engineer M. E. Cox said in an
affidavit that chairman Eugene Will
burn of the board had inserted over
his protest In contracts granted Whit
ley for two road projects a clause
setting the wages at the same level
as those prevailing in the commun-
tiles where the work was done.
Counsel for Whitley, La Grange,
Ca, contractor and personal and po-
litical friend of Gov. Eugene Tai
madge, had contended that one sec
ton of the N r. A. construction code
provided exemption for contractors in
some sections where competent au-
thority' had established local mini
mum wages.
This local minimum wage scale,
whitley's counsel contended, was pro-
vided by the State Highway Boards
ruling that in so far as wholly State
aid jobs are concerned the wages
prevailing in the communities where
the work is being done shall be paid.

100 Year Old Quilt
 Made Of Many Pieces
7. .2SO Pieces in Historic Possession of Mrs Richard
 Van Riper of Lancaster, Pa.

Lancaster. Pa. (UP)-A hun dred -year-old quilt made from l. 2SO pieces of material is in the possession of Mrs Richard Van- Riper.
 Very little is known about the history of the quilt, except that it was made about 1884 by Eliza beth Zell, who lived in Little Britain Township, near here.
 By inheritance, the quilt went into the hands of Mrs Arthur Bickham, who provided that her ister-in- Jaw, the present owner. should have it upon her death.
 It has been estimated that the work on the quilt required at least 10 years. There is some dispute as to whether most of the mate rial used is old chintz or oil chalice. The pattern is made up of 1920 diamonds, each with nine tiny rosettes. Beach rosette is made of a tiny circle of cloth, apparently cut around dime. Half the dia- monds have eight roesttes, with a read one in the center. This color scheme is reversed in the remain ing half of the diamonds. Seen from different angles, the quilt shows hundreds of geometric de- signs of larger diamonds. yyra- mids and cubes. Held to the light, the quilt looks like old lace.
 The quilt is feet II inches long by feet ? inches wide. So fine is the needlework that the stitches scarcely can be seen with the naked eye.

LOSELEAKING CRACKS AND LOWER COAL BILL
By ROcFR \. wHTTMAN

One day last winter, with the temperature at zero and the wind howling, a neighbor asked me what to do about room on the exposed side of his house that was too cold to use. | said that one trouble was the leaking in of outdoor air around the window sash.
 He thought the sashes were too tightly fltted for that, and felt that he proved it by showing me there was no looseness.
 But I took a yard-long piece of thread and pinned 1t by one end so that it hung in the angle be- tween one side of a sash and the frame If he had been right the thread would have hung motion less. But it did not. It wass in q continual fiutter. Too Much for Heater
 With cold air leaking in around all the windows of the room three of them-it was no wonder that the room was cold, that the radiator could not deliver enough heat to warm the outside air ss fast as it was coming in.
 One part of the remedy is in weather stripping and the rest in a storm sash. Any of the weather strips on the market will make window joints tight, when new and if carefully put on.
 Applying these Is job for a professional, because of the special tools that are needed and the vari- ous forms of stripping that must be used for different parts of win dows and doors.
 Good metal weather strips should make a saving of from 10 to 20 per cent in the fuel bill. With storm sash added, the saving should run. up'to 30 per cent. Watch Window Joints
 Air also is likely to leak into a house through the joints between the window frames and the walls. These joints should be air-tight when house Is new, but they may open with settlement and the dry ing out of woodwork.
 Such joints should be closed on the outside with what is called calking compound. which is like putty but does not become hard.
 Another usual air leak is be- tween the top of an outside wall and the under side of roof. This

GROUP PROJECT PROGRAM IDEA
 SEEN GROWING
Several Rec0ndition i ng Operations in a Neigh
 bOrh0Od Possible

Group projects, such as the painting of an sentire block of homes, or the re-facing of row- house development, are regarded by the Federal Housing Adminis- tration as potential community programs which might go forward under the modernization provisions of the National Housing Act.
 In many instances, 1t is pointed out, the individual home owner will hesitate about going ahead with an operation on his property if the surrounding homes are to remain in unkempt, run- down condition. The advisa bility of many projects, the FILA fecog- nizes, will hinge on the rehabilita- tion of the entire neighborhood in which such structures are located.
 Organization Started
 Community committees which are being organized all over the country to carry forward the cam paign work under the government fostered property renovation and program are being urged to encourage the group project idea. This feature, the FILA feels. must not be neglected if the program Is to come up to expectations.
 Tn these united efforts, the civic minded men and women of each community are expected to assume the leadership. They will find ready to cooperate with them arr chitects, builders, city planners, material men, real estate operators and bankers. Behind the efforts of these the Federal Housing Ad- ministration will lend the full sup- port of it's Public Relations Divi- sion, equipped to provide publicity materials for local drives, litera- ture and booklets explaining and Interpreting the provisions of the act.
 An important factor to be con- sidered by property owners is that group projects of the type suggest ed by the FILA might easily result in reduced cost to the individual if a blanket contract is entered into with the building tradespeople and material suppliers. This idea has been successfully developed in the past in several communities.
 Remove the ''Eye.sores"
 Many ideas naturally will sug- gest themselves to property owners who have in mind group develop ments. United efforts in arousire public opinion for the removal "t so-called "eye-sores" will often produce results that are of benefit to the entire community.
 Another point suggested by FILA is that property owners on the same block or in the same neigh. borhood, where such steps are feasible, plan their projects so that they will harmonize and add great CT attractiveness to the entire community in which the improve ments are being made.

LABOR SUPPORTS
 HOUSING PROJECT
A. F. of L. President Ap-
 peals for Cooperation in FILA Rehabilitation

Organized labor went squarely on record in support of the Federal Housing Administration in an ap- peal ito all men and women of labor" issued by William Green, president of the American Federa- tion of Labor at the annual mid summer meeting of the executive council of that body in Atlantic City.
 'Largely through your backing. of President Roosevelt's housing program, that program. is now the policy and the law of the land, and is in effect" said the appeal.
 Under the law provision is made for the freeing of immense volumes of money, running well into the billions of dollars for the repair and modernization of exist ing homes, and the construction or new ones.
 "The immediate effect should be the employment of thousands upon thousands of building tradesmen, of tradesmcn who supply building materials, and railroad and truck men who land it on the job.
 .'The ultimate result should be standards of housing for our peo ple better than any they have ever known, and in keeping with the wealth and the high ideals of our country.
 "The volume of work is enor- nous. Once well under way, it should, now that money promises to be available, provide work for many years for the building trades, and make life easier and better for the men and women of all trades.
 President McDonough, of the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, has called upon all building trades councils and building trades local unions to start the ball rolling though the intensive canvas of po- tential jobs. have no doubt of their response. .2
 "In that canvas, it is my earnest request and sincere hope. that all men and women of other trades will assist the building trades in every possible way through the set ting up of cooperative committees and the individual solicitation Of work.
 Not the least important source of work is our own habitations.
 Those of us fortunate enough 10 have retained our homes can now easily secure the funds needed for repairs and modernization.
 "Those of us desirous of build- ing for ourselves. may with but 20 per cent of the required capital, build for ourselves.
 "Those of us living In rented quarters need no longer accept the harassed landlords explanation that he cannot raise tho none. for needed repairs and improve ments.'
 we can aii help. Let us do It.

.DENCLER NAMED
 FOR SCHOOL JOB
Prominent French Archi- tect Added to Penl=
 sylvania U. Staff,

Philadelphia (UP) = Although the building industry, with the ex- ception of government projects, is virtually at it's lowest ebb, the sign is more imperative than ever. according to George s. Koyl, dean of the School of Fine Arts, Uni versity of Pennsylvania.
 Dean Koyl recently announced the appointment of M. Georges Dengler, prominent French archi- tect, to the university's faculty of department of agriculture.
 M. Dengler will serve as profess sor of design. He was awarded the grand prize of Rome in 1891 and also won the prize edon along with other awards in competition con- ducted by the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
 For more than 40 years it has been the practice of the leading American schools of architecture to bring to the country the best talent available from the scholos of France" Dean Koyl said in announcing the appointment of M. Dengler.
 While it is recognized that the building industry, with the excep- tion of government projects, is virtually at it's lowest ebb, the po- tential value of thorough training in design is more imperative than ever," Dean Koyl stated.

BATHROOM CAN BE BROUGHT
 UP TO DATE AT LITTLE COST
Modernization Greatly Aids Cleanliness
 And Looks
By ROGER B. WHITMAN


 In one house that I know there is a bathroom of which, the door IS always kept shut for fear visitors might see 1t. Bringing that room up to date is one of the family plans.
 AS the bathtub is on legs, clean- ing behind and under it is difficult. The wash basin is in a corner and hung on the wall. The toilet Is Or the high tank variety. The floor iS wood. and the plastered walls are finished with ordinary wallpaper, which is always spotted.
 In modernizing the room, noth- ing that Is at present visible should remain, except the door and the window. At first sight, making all the necessary changes would seem like a large and expensive piece Of work, but the whole job can be done for less than $400 = inciud- ing wainscoat of tile. ' There Are Tile Substitutes
 A tile substitute, like plaster board or wail-board, grooved in imitation of tiling and enameled, with bring down the price. The walls above the tiling or similar finish could be enameled, as well as the ceiling.
 All of the present fixtures would go out, except possibly the bathtuo: First choice would be a new tup or the built-in variety, but you can economize by taking on the icgs of the present tub. wedging it mo the corner, and building IramC- | work around it to be covered with l tile.
 The new toilet should have a low tank, and the new wash basin | should be on pedestal. There should be space above it for a cabinet to be set into the wall.
 l Bathroom tiling usually goes up about five feet, although a shower stall may be entirely tiled. In do- | ing over an old room, tile is not 70 easy to apply, because the plaster I must be cut back to the studs, and metal lath applied for cement I backing to which the tiles are ce- mented. Because of this incon- yenience, you may prefer spe- cial grade of linoleum.
 Lighting is Important
 In a bathroom, the position o1 the lighting fixtures is important. The best arrangement seems to ae light on each side of the mirror;
 The fixtures should be combbineui with outlets for the plugging-in oi electric toilet appliances. A patn, room that is not we'll heated shouio have an outlet for an electric heai. CT. which can be portable or built 1 into the wall. .,5
 Colors for a bathroom should depend on the exposure or the room. In one bathroom that know, with a single window facins north, the tiling. the walls above' the ceiling, and the shower cur tain, are shades of rose. giVing 'nc effect of warmth and suniisnt. l.,
 Shades of orange would also be nleasant. Blue or green would be satisfactory in room facing east east south or west. For a north room inc effect would be too cool.

Scientific Study Now Embraced
 In Planning Of Modern Kitchen

< Much is expected of the modern kitchen. True to it's increasing im- portance, this room is receiving more attention every day from the of both convenience and decoration.
 The kitchen should have a scien- itific, compact, step-saving working area, with plenty of cabinets. A rectangular floor space offers the most possibilities. One side should be equipped for the preparation of meals, and the other for clear ing away. In this way, work can progress from one step to the next without loss of time or effort. : The sink, at height of 34 inch es, should be central to both the preparation and clearing units, and in cross position to the stove. On the preparation side should be grouped the refrigerator and food storage spaces, cabinet with Q working surface, the stove, and a serving surface. The clearing side should have stacking surface table or sink drainboard, a drain board for clean dishes and utensils, and cabinets for dishes and uten- sils.
 There should be a balanced grouping of cupboards on each side. Utilization of the space un- der the sink, stove and tables will provide compact storage in the smallest kitchen for every neces. s. sary item. No storage space should be too high for comfortable reach. Cabinet tops, stove and tables should be at convenient working heights.
 In the kitchen cleanliness is an absolute requirement.. Sink, stove, cabinets, should all be selected with easy cleaning as a primary consideration. A floor of tile, lino- leum, or other easily c1eafied ma terial should be used; and wash able walls are also necessary. New CT should there be any corners, hooks and crannies where dirt may lodge and resist removal.
