will probably exceed that sum, and sell
between $1,000 and $4,000. Each house
will have six rooms and two baths and
be located on lot at least 1000 square
feet in area.
All will have slate roofs and indi-
Vdual heating plants. There will be
no fences between the individual
homes.
In addition, the builder voluntarily
agrees to seven restrictions.
They would prevent the erec-
ton OF any apartment houses or flats,
use of any of the buildings for mer-
camille purposes, erection of any
structure within 20 feet of the street
line, construction of any group con-
si5ting of more than five houses, or
OF any house containing less than
$500 cubic feet of space, including
the cellar.
Plans Call for Action.
The owners also have agreed that If
the project is not begun within seven
months after the rezoning, it would
revert to its present residential A
status.
Gormley has built many important
structures, including the addition to
tthe Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, the Capial Park Hotel and the
John Paul Jones crypt at Annapolis.
James H. Starkey is the engineer
for the proposed housing project and
Donald S. johnson the architect. The
land is owned by Mrs. B. w. Parker
and Donald Woodward.
: When the application for the zoning
change was heard by the Commits
sionerS, citizens of Somerset and
'Drummond opposed it on the grounds
1t would prove dangerous precedent
The project has the unanimous in
dorsement, however, of the Bethesda
Chamber Of Commerce, while the
Chevy Chase Gardens Citizens Asso-
citation and the Friendship Heights
Citizens Association also have an.
proved it. The latter group insisted,
however, to the restrictions regarding
fats and apartments.

Color Combats Darkness.

It is important to use color to
combat the darkness of Winter days.
In the sun room, for instance, care
fully selected tints will make the
most of every ray of sunshine that
enters and give the impression that
1t is a bright day when it is really
gray and drizzling outside. Pale yel-
low walls and woodwork, yellow orange
draperies, blue and green tones on
painted furniture, brightly enameled
crooks for the growing plants, will
give the effect Of an indoor garden
where the sun Is constantly shining.

easily buy small can of ready mixed
paint-of good quality. by all means
a good brush with well anchored bris-

Lighting fixtures can be touched up SO
that they match the trim or wall.
Paint the basement stairs a light

You will also find good use for
aluminium paint in many ways in your

BIG GRABBING SEASON
EXPECTED BY OFFICIALS

A record grabbing season equalling
that of last year, when crabs were
more plentiful in local markets than
in recent years is expected by Off
Gals of the State Conservation Com
mission. whose job it is to keep tab
on such activities throughout the
State.
According to reports received at the
commission offices from watermen
along the bay regions, more of the
crabs have remained in local waters
for the winter than in former years.
An investigation made sometime
ago by an official Of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, showed that
about eighty per cent of the female
crabs in the bay wintered in the more
southerly waters of the Virginia Capes
while about the same percentage Of
male CARDS remained in Maryland
regions. However, this percentage
seems to have been distributed thi:
year.
A number of oystermen, dredger.
and tongers along the shores of Ken
county and it's vicinity have reported
that their apparatus has brought VI
crabs as well as the oysters they wer'
seeking.

MILK DEALERS
COOPERATING
WITH THE STATE

Milk dealers throughout Maryland
are cooperating closely with the State
Department of Health in efforts that
are being made to arouse public in
terest i'm improved methods Of milk
production, better sanitation of milk
plants, and increased consumption OF
milk in the State.
M. F. w. Caspari, of the State Blu
reau of Sanitary Engineering, who
has been in active charge of milk
supervision in the Anne Arundel
County Health Unit, has been assigned
to the Bureau of Food and Drugs OF
the State Department of Health, as
sanitary engineer, specializing in milk
work. Under the direction of Mr..
A. L. Sullivan, Chief Of that Bureau,
Mr.. Caspari is giving particular at
tention to pasteurization plants and
to cooperative work with the local
sanitary inspectors in the inspection
of dairy and milk plants. The re-
quirements of the u. S. Public Health
Service Standard Milk Ordinance, and
the code for grading milk were ex-
planned and discussed, in detail at
conferences, of health officers, milk
producers, and sanitary inspectors,
held recently in different parts of Vie
State. Advisory surveys and inspect
ion of dairy farms and milk plants
are being carried on, under the direc-
ton of the county health officer in
a number of counties.
Local interest in improved meth
DDS has greatly increased" Mr.. Sui
Ivan said, Gas a result of the pre-
liminary inspections and the confer
ences with local producers. Civic
groups have Joined the milk producers
in some Of the larger towns in taking
tentative steps toward the adoption
of milk regulations, embracing the es-
sential features Of the Standard Or
dinance. the provisions of which are
entirely reasonable. Emphasis is laid
in the Ordinance, on the maintenance
of healthy herds; the Improvement,
and maintenance of sanitary condi-
lions on dairy farms and in milk
plants; the production of clean, good
quality milk; proper pasteurization,
and intelligent care in the handling
and distribution of the product.
1--WE are confident that the interest
that is being shown in every part OF
the State in the establishment of ade-
quate standards of milk production,
will result eventually in greatly in
creased consumption of milk in the
State"

stitutions at time Of growing demand
by home owners for long-term mort

Banks In October Of that year the
Federal Home Loan Bank system is
designed as q permanent reserve for
the use Of private member home loan
institutions both In increasing the
liquidity Of their resources for the
benefit of their investors and in ex-
panding the volume of their loanable
funds for the use Of home mortgage
borrowers. Membership in the system
Is restricted by law to savings and
loan associations, savings banks and
life insurance companies, the present
membership numbering 3,44l institu-
tions. over 80 per cent Of which are Of

cluding the fact that bank credit ad-
vanced in October, 1895, was more
than twice the amount advanced in

"The influx Of new residents TO

sion Of Federal Government actiW-

Declaring that Washington Is prob
ably unique among the larger cities
Of the country in that it is distinctly
industrial in character, Mr..
Bangs pointed out that business ac-
tivity has nevertheless increased here
''unobtrusively and without detracting
from the physical beauty Of the city,
which the Federal Government strives
painstakingly to preserve"
"All types Of investment property,
when reasonably priced" he con-
ttnued, ARE now finding a ready mar
ket. Hundreds of new low-priced
homes have been built and sold In
Washington and vicinity, many of
them financed through building asso-
Citations and Government agencies.
Many brokers are also reflnancing
mortgage loans which are now due
or about to become due.

able for large loans ON business prop

Mr.. Bangs pointed out that IN In
stances Of Single-purpoSe buildings,
such as theaters, hotels and garages,
for which mortgage money is not often
readily available, it is possible to apply
to the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, which recently started to
make mortgage money commitments
for the erection Of this class of prop
erty where there Is substantial
equity In the property and real need
can be shown for Improvement in
the community where it is to be To-
Gated. Reasonable assurance Of con-
tinued tenancy Is require also.
The Washington realtor, who spe-
cializes in business property sales and
leases here. cited a number of hypo-
thetical cases, as well as actual ex-
periences to illustrate typical prob

COLORS IMPORTANT

The color Of the walls and ceiling Is
the most important factor In a rest
full, attractive room. 1t is against this
background that furnishings must go,
and the color chosen for that back
ground should tie those furnishings
harmoniously together. In choosing
the paint for walls. ceiling and wood
work don't hesitate to select colors
you like. If you are fond of bright
colors, use them as accents against a
more neutral ground. 1t is, generally
speaking, wisest to select quiet colors
for the walls and ceiling. They will
act as q foil for the bright color ac-
cents in your curtains, cushions, etc.

Southwest Wing Administrative.
The administrative section Of the
palace" was the southwest portion,
opening from the west court and pene-
trated by professional corridor whose
wall surfaces were covered with
fresco paintings of marching men. In
the east wing were the industrial and
service quarters.
Living rooms were legion in number,
and each appears to have been
equipped with ante-rooms and porti-
cos. Practically all mural areas were
decorated with designs Of brilliant
color-red, black. white and gold the
favorite hues. but blue, green and yell
low also being present. Extreme
technical facility" was the character
istic feature of the craftsmanship
represented.
Painted walls and floors" accord
ing to Mr. Forsdyke, were universal
in Minoan houses, even on surfaces
exposed to weather. The process was
true fresco on lime plaster" Subject
material included landscapes, chill
dren picking flowers, cats stalking
pheasants, fountains, flying fish,
monkeys, dolphins, the ceremonial
sport Of "bull~leaping'' and crowds Of
men and women in costumes which
have been called Partisan fashions" !"
Convenience as well as beauty was
demanded by the CretanS. There were
plenty of bath rooms-with earthen-
ware tubs; excellent drainage and
storage systems; good ventilation;
heating and perhaps even cooling de-
vices; community kitchens; pantries;
warerooms; gardens, vineyards, and
orchards Of cultivated fruit trees.
Monarch Sea King.
The tenants of the palace" we're
people CT means. Their monarch was
a sea king, whose ships brought back
wealth from distant countries in ex-
change for the products of the island
one of which was olive oil But at last
the Minoan Navy must have failed.
It is indicated that war swept over
Knossos. In any event, the apart
ment house was burned and its in
habitants scattered.
Modern scholars ask: Was the
place the scene of something not
greatly different from the traditionary
legend of the monster Minotaur and
the hero TheseuS? Was the earliest
tenement the celebrated Labyrinth
built by Daedalus? Sir, Arthur does
not attempt to answer these ques-
tions. Instead. he is seeking solutions
for archaeological problems which his
labors have brought to hght-the
secret of Minoan script, the hand
writing of the Cretans, for instance.
