Formation of a Junior Bar Sec
tion is being considered by the
Women's Bar Association Of the
District Of Columbia. The eXecu-
tive committee at a recent meet
ing approved a resolution which
will be submitted to the aSsocia-
tion at its next meeting in
October.
The new section would furnish
O forum for younger women mem
,berS of the Bar. The plan is in
furtherance of an idea originated
in the American Bar Association
about a year ago, through the
creation of q junior section COM
posed entirely of lawyers less than
36 years old.
Mary Agnes Brown, Of this
city, attended the meeting of the
Junior Bar in Los Angeles as a
delegate Of the Women'S Bar ASSo-
citation, and returned with plans
for the creation of such a group
In her organization.
A committee to assist Miss
Brown in the investigation and re-
port on this matter has been ap-
pointed by the executive commit
tee, consisting of Helen M. Boyd,
Z. Louise Chandler, Zelda Dove
and Verna L. Parsons.

'MODERN|ST|C'
HOMES FEW

The "modernistic" house prob.
ably never will become popular,
in the opinion of William Orr
Ludlow. fellow of the American
Institute of Architects.
Plain cement walls, flat roofs,
and steel window sash, he points
out. do not make a homelike
house. according to the notion of
the average home owner. The
truth. Mr.. Ludlow declares. is
that people are incurably senti-
mental when 1t comes to choos-
ing their personal belongings. He
said:
Architects are finding quite
generally that although the oc-
caSiOnal client can be educated
to approve of 'mOderniStic' in

else, yet for himself, almost in
variably, he wants something

"Yet it is a step in the right
direction, getting away from
a lot of SenSeleSs ornament and
pretense in design, and it will
do its part in bringing about
the modern house. which,
while free from such tradition
as is unsuitable to our age, will
really, express in a simple, prac-

or a close fitting mushroom head.
The soft lead should fill the hole
around the nail to prevent leak
age and corrosion of the sheet at
that point.
When one-inch mailing strips are
used, the nails should be long
enough to permit of clinching on
the inner side for extra holding
power. About Ia to " pounds of
nails are required per square of
100 square feet of area covered.
In mailing corrugated sheets,
the nails should be driven through
the sheet at a slant near the top
of the corrugations and not in the
valleys. Likewise, in mailing v.
crimped sheets. the nails should
he driven at sharp slant through
the extreme outer slope of the v.
crimps. Care should be taken in
mailing not to dent the metal.

Q.-What Is a septic tank?
J. L.
At is a specially designed
tank which is buried in the
ground and into which domes.
tic sewage is discharged from
the house. Decomposition takes
place in chamber so designed
that air does not come in con-
tact with the sewage, harmful
bacteria are destroyed, and the
affluent filtered and discharged
into a tile field through which
it seepS into the ground. The
tank should be of a design that
has been approved by the State
or local board of health and it
should be installed in a man,
ner that complies with their
regulations.
The liquid discharged from a
properly designed septic tank is
harmless and will not contami,
nate the soil.

Q.-HOw can 1 keep my re.

Am the first place, the re
frigerator waste line should be
open, not connected directly tc
the house plumbing system, as the
slime prevalent in refrigerator
waste pipes probably would clog
up the plumbing waste pipe. The
refrigerator waste pipe should
empty into a floor drain, which
should be cleaned frequently and
the waste pipe flushed with hot
water to remove the Shiny sub
stance. The refrigerator itself
including the waste pipe and trap
should be secured and scalded out
occasionally to keep it sanitary.

cipally of automatic water heat
ers, but also of some incidental

A.-Yes-all three: provided
they are installed as integral parts

sidered as nonmovable or perma
