STEEL HOUSE
To Be OPENED

Formal opening of one of the
two Berloy steel frame houses at
Roosevelt and jefferson Streets,
Bethesda, takes place tomorrow.
Visitors will have the opportun-
ity of seeing not only the COM
pleted house, which was purchased
by John j. O'Rourke, newspaper
editor, but also a second house
we'll under construction, which was
sold recently to DR.. Louis Cohen,
scientist, radio engineer and lee
turer at the Bureau of Standards.
Both deals were made through the
R. Bates Warren organization.
The houses, which were devel-
oped by the Berger Manufacturing
Company, of Canton, Republic
Steel Corporation subsidiary, rep
resent an advance in modern
home architecture.
The entire skeleton Of the house
is built of strip steel rectangles,
3 feet wide, and of steel joists.
These are firmly anchored to the
foundation and to each othef,
making a rigid continuous steel
skeleton.
Any type of building material
may be utilized on the exterior Of
the house, but both of the Beth
esda houses are of white painted,
common brick. Walls and parti
tions are finished with prefabri-
Gated wall board and the floors
are of oak parquet.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the house is the prefabri
Gated plumbing unit which is as
sembled in the standard steel
frames and becomes part of the
interior partition. This unit
supplies all the plumbing and
water piping needed for both
kitchen and bathroom.
The houses are being built by
Carr Brothers, Washington con-
tractors.

Subfloor has been laid.
O. have been troubled by
squeaky flooring in the living

few months. Is it possible to
eliminate this condition without
undue expense? C. B.
Aft the joists on which the
floor is laid are exposed on the
underSide ascertain the exact
spots where the squeaks occur.
Where cracks occur between the
flooring and the joists, it is likely
that small wedges driven between
the subfloor and the joiSts will
prevent further squeaking. 1t
may be necessary to jack up and
level any sagged or defective joiSt
and then reinforce it with planks
spiked to either side. It is some
times possible to eliminate a
squeak by driving a finishing nail
between the two floor boards
which, by rubbing together, cause
the squeak. Before driving the
nail, insert thin wedge to spring
the two flooring pieces apart so
that the nail, after being driven.
will hold the pieces apart. This
will eliminate any possibility Of
damaging the flooring.
Q.-How far apart should
wood laths be spaced to obtain
the best results in plastering?
r. D.
"A spacing of five siXteenths
to three-eighths of an inch is con-
sidered excellent. Either of these
widths permits sufficient amount
of the plaster to be forced through
the cracks to form a key behind
the lath which, when the plaster
becomes dry, assists in locking the
plaster to the lath. Satisfactory
spacing can be done with rough

FREED AS INNOCENT
AFTER SERVING FOUR
YEARS FOR H0LDUP

Apparently innocent of the
crime for which he has served
four years, Abe Schultz, convicted
bank robber. has been paroled by
the State Clemency Commission.
Schultz and four other men
we're convicted in Allen County
Circuit Court of robbing the
Broadway Bank of Fl. Wayne of
$4,000 and were sentenced to Is
years in the state prison.
The other four alleged bandits
told the board they did not even
know Schultz at the time of the
robbery and a Chicago merchant
sent an affidavit that Schultz was
working for him there on the day
of the robbery.
Witnesses of the bank robbery
identified Schultz, but the board
felt there was enough doubt of his
guilt TO parole him.
