MOVIES TEACH
HOME STYLE

That Hollywood has definitely
influenced the trend toward mod
ern decoration is evidenced by
the growing demand for smart
furnishings similar to those
used in dressing the sets OF recent
Hollywood productions.
For the past few years. the
American woman has been watch
ing her favorite stars emote on
modern stairways, recline on mod
ern divanS, serve tea at modern
tables. She's got used to looking
at interiors that are mainly glass
and metal and exotic fabrics and
woods. Has she awakened at last
to the realization that her screen
inspired clothes need an appro.
pirate background? That near
Colonial and pseudo-Louis QuinZe
aren't nearly as desirable or CLAM
orous as genuine 1885 modern?
Whatever the reason, little
apartments and big apartments
mansions and cottages. are all
poisoning out in modern. Brides
are specifying modern for wedding
presents. Smart matrons are put
ting an end to antique hunting
and going into the quest for the
modern.
In line with the smart woman'S
adoption of modern, smart stores
have gone modern, too. The more
enterprising have inaugurated
newspaper promotions, window
displays, floor displays featuring
model rooms, each dramatizing a
phaze of modern decoration. Cor
instance, the Hecht Co. here in
Washington has seven such model
roomsD The public response was
instantaneous, and increasingly
large, and hundreds of modern
sofas, chairs, desks. lamps and
accessories are sold daily.
Whether Hollywood is respon-
sible or not, women are grateful
for this new way of beautifying
their homes. and store keepers
owe vote of thangs for this new
stimulus to business.

New Urban Homes
Gain 1O6 Per Cent

Construction of new urban
homes in 1885 continues at rate
more than twice that of last year,
according to figures compiled by
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board from reports to the Depart
ment of Labor. During May 7,465
dwelling units were constructed,
a record for any month in the
past three years. and a gain OF
106 per cent over 1884.
The total for the first five
months of this year is 1884 units,
which is equal to "a per cent of
the entire number of homes built
in all of 1894.

PORCHES
ON WAVE

The past decade has seen a
gradual trend in American home
building toward the abolition Of
the front porch.
Utilization of smaller plots of
ground, desire for increased pri-
vacy, and the general desirability
of Giving in the back of the
house" has been the reason for
this trend. In general. the living
room or sun porch. either in the
back or on the side of a house,
have supplanted the front porch.
There is nothing new in this
practice. European home con-
struction for over a century has
followed this same line Today,
the American home is designed to
give maximum comfort, privacy,
and convenience. Garages are
built as an integral part of houses
in many cases, located in the
front, thus minimizing driveway
costs. Kitchens are frequently
built in. the front also in easy &C.
cess of the driveway to simplify
delivery of groceries, packages,
and the like.
1t is advisable when planning
to build to consult an architect
and a landscape architect who
have first-hand knowledge of the
most recent developments and ap-
proved practices in home plan
ming. Their knowledge and ex-
perience will more than justify
the fee paid for the services.

Coating Wall Paper
Is Aid in Painting

Wall paper thoroughly bound to
the wall and free of water soluble
aniline colors can be coated safely
with water paints without being
sized or otherwise prepared. If
the paper is figured with water
soluble aniline colors. it is recon-
mended that the paper be re-
moved and the water paints ap-
piled directly to the wall surface
according to the directions on the
package. (You can test for the
presence of aniline by moistening
an obscure section of the paper
and rubbing with your finger to
discover whether the colorS run"

Q.-What can 1 do to protect
my wallpaper from dirt and
the marks of children'S hands?
X. R.
Aft you refer to old wall
paper already in place, if it is not
hopelessly soiled, it can be saved
with one of the recognized wall
paper cleaners. After cleaning
coat the wallpaper with kanaba
wax, which not only protects the
surface from grease and dirt but
results in a washable surface OF
considerable endurance. OF course
if you contemplate repapering,
the new washable. colorfast wall
papers, available in children's as
we'll as adult designs, will solve
your problem. Manufacturers adj
wise that there is no extra charge
for the instability feature.
Q.-The concrete floor in my
basement is wearing badly in
spots and causes a white dust
to be tracked through the
house. What can 1 do to cor
rect this? GET.
A. There are numerous con-
crete-hardening compounds on
the market which are easily ap-
piled and which can be secured
from all or most any paint store.
One or two coats should overcome
this trouble. There are also many
good concrete paints which would
protect the surface of the concrete
and stop the wear.
@. - What procedure would
you suggest for installing run
ming water and modern plumb
ing in a summer cottage?
A.-Naturally the method and
equipment will vary, depending
upon whether running water is
available or if a we'll will have
to be dug and the water pumped;
or whether there is a sewer line
with which your line may be con-
nected or if a septic tank must
be provided. The system re-
quired will also vary in accord
ance with the number and type
of fixtures which you select. The
best plan is to consult an archi-
tect or a reliable and experienced
plumbing contractor. They will
be in a position to advise you
concerning the best and most in
expensive type of installation.
The entire work, labor as we'll as
materials. may be financed by
banks advancing funds under the
modernization credit plan of the
Federal Housing Administration.

RATE
ON MORTGAGES
F|XEDAT5 P.C.

Establishment Of the maximum
interest rate allowed on all classes
of insured mortgages at a maxi
mum of per cent per annum
as a means of standardizing
mortgage rate procedure is now
in effect, according to an an
nouncement by Acting Federal
Housing Administrator Stewart
Mcdonald.
Emphasizing that this is the
maximum allowable. Mr.. McDon.
aid said lower interest rates on
insured mortgages may be
charged by lending institutions at
their own discretion. This change
has the effect of standardizing
interest rate procedure in every
insuring office in each of the 48
States, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii and Alaska. Reduction
of insurance premiums has been
made on all classes of insured
mortgages to a flat one-half of
per cent per annum.
"In view of the fact that the
volume Of business under the
mutual mortgage insurance
plan of the Federal Housing
Administration is increasing SO
much more rapidly than was
anticipated" Mr.. Mcdonald
said, lit has been considered
sound to reduce the rate of the
insurance premium in order to
reduce the cost of insured mort
cages to home owners"
Prior to the reduction the Fed
eral Housing Administration had
permitted approved lending insti-

said, that one of the important
effects of the revised regulations
regarding mortgage interest rate
will be an added acceleration in
the volume of mortgage insurance

Roof Terraces
For Sun Baths
Popular

Porches or roof terraces for
sun bathing are among the
many useful improvements
householders are making under
the new reconditioning program.
Parapets or low walls, high
enough for privacy-but not SO
high that they shut out sun
light-are used to surround a
flat roof or to take the place
of an open railing on a second
floor porch.
If the floor and the inside of
the parapet are painted a solf
green or blue, the glare of the
sunlight is eliminated.
