H.A.System Epaluates Homes
For Purpose of Insuring Loans
Real Estate Broker Is Qualified to
Judge Needs of Home-Seeker, but
architect Must Interpret Them.

Of architectural competitions and
extensive publicity campaigns, their
activity In stimulating remodeling and
new-home construction during the
many months when building opera
tons were practically at a standstill
has undoubtedly created a desire for
better housing conditions.
Employment for Architect.
Better housing means better plan
ming, and better planning means en-
ployment for the architect. A great
deal Of educational work has already
been done toward making the public
conscious Of the necessity Of employ
ing the services Of a professional
architect for any building operation.
Laws have been passed in certain
States requiring that all buildings
must be planned by registered archi-
tects. This makes for greater safety
OF construction and a higher stand
ard Of architectural design.
Through an understanding of how
the Federal Housing Administration
stimulates home construction, the
architect specializing in residential
work might well avail himself of the
information with regard to the pos
sibilities Of improving his practice.
This information in the form of cir
culars may be obtained from any
local Federal Housing Administration
insuring office or from the Washing
ton office. He should also receive
some encouragement from the recent
estimates made by housing authori-
ties that many millions Of dwelling
Evening star., 1935-11-30

units will be needed In the next 10
years.
The successful carrying out of such
a program to meet these needs will
have telling effect upon the better
ing Of our social and economic condi-
tions, and may be considered a chal-
lenge to the architectural profession
as the problem becomes more appar-
ent.
The administration has every rea-
son to believe that the architectural
profession will meet this problem
squarely and will, individually and
collectively, form the spearhead Of
the forward movement now under way
whose bjective-improved housing
conditions in America-Will eventual
ly be attained.

BY HOWARD LELAND SMITH,
(Chief Architect. Federal Housing
nj sfr

The Federal Housing Administra-
tion, in its program to encourage
better housing, has established q
system by which homes are evaluated
for the purpose of insuring mortgage
loans. The factors which tend toward
favorable ratings for such mortgages
on any dwelling are well known to
most architects. In fast, it is part
Of an architects early training to
approach the problem with the idea
of not only making his creation a
thing Of beauty but also one which
is both practical and durable. He is
taught to arrange rooms simply.
giving careful attention to those two
most important factors, light and air
He also knows that a well-designed
mechanical system is vital to the
comfort and health Of his client.
Above all, he realizes that the home
must possess those qualities which
make for livability-namely. conven-
ience, comfort and privacy.
Must Interpret Needs.
1t may be assumed that the real
estate broker or the operative builder
Is qualified to Judge the needs and
desires Of the average home seeker;
but it remains for the architect to
interpret these needs by means of
carefully studied plans and their re-
lationship to the lot as well as to the
surrounding neighborhood. No longer
can any one question the economic
soundness Of employing an architect
to plan and supervise the construction
Of a house, no matter how small and
inexpensive 1t may be.
Neither is 1t necessary to discuss
the problems Of the "jerry-built
house" which, being poorly planned
and built, has helped to create the
blighted areas in many Of our urban
and suburban communities. We are
conscious Of these facts as We at
tempt to estimate the loss caused
by the economic storm whose fury
Is now abating. Mortgages who were
obliged to take back many of these
homes lost during this crisis are
finding it extremely difficult to make
resales, because the prospective home
buyer has through experience ac-
quired enough information to know
what constitutes good home values.
Considerable credit is due to the
manufacturers Of building supplies
and equipment. Through the medium

PRIVATE BUILDING
IS AT NEW PEAK
Downward Trend of Three
Months HaIted-Gain Is
32.9 Per Cent.
After showing a downward trend

After showing q downward trend
during July. August and September,
building activities in the field Of
private enterprise rose sharply in Oc-
tober to a new peak for the recovery
movement, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute.
While the normal tendency is for
expansion in october. the increase
over the September volume was much
greater than usual, amounting to 32.s
per cent this year as compared with
the average Of 81 per cent for the
10 preceding years. In addition,
building in October was 74.5 per cent
more active than in the same month
last year.
In the first 10 months, total build
ing contracts amounted to the larg-
est volume for any corresponding
period since 1881. The increase over
last year amounted to All per cent
and the increase over 1888, when the
low for the depression occurred,
amounted to 56.1 per cent. Only go
per cent Of the ground lost in the
Ie28-1933 slump has been regained
up to the present time, however.
The upward trend Of rents was ex-
tended in october with the index.
based on 1926 as 100, rising from 7l.2
in September to 71.8. Rents are now
1862 per cent higher than at the low
for the depression in January, 1884.
The rise in rents in October was ac-
companied by a decrease in building
costs during the month, the cost index
dropping from 938 to 93.7. The
spread between rents and building
costs was thus further reduced, de-
velopment which should make for a
further recovery In building opera
tions.

Paints Portraits With Gun.

AS a hobby, Fred Lawrence. auto
mobile painter in Oklahoma City, has
painted more than 100 landscapes and
portraits with spray gun. Different
effects are obtained by the trigger
action, the distance Of the nozzle from
the picture, and the consistency Of the
lacquer. Says Mr.. Lawrence: THE
dexibility of the spray gun, combined
with the lasting qualities and color
range Of medium lacquer, convince me
that spray pictures will have a definite
place in art in the near future"

COMMENT
A Useful Publicist
From Our Exchanges

Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, New

is a useful publicist. In a recent an
nual report to the trustees of his
college, he makes a summary Of
what he considers to be the evils
affecting this people and its gov
eminent.
President Butler may not be al
ways right. 1t is likely that he is
too conservative, but he must be
given credit for his fearlessness.
He refuses to cater. He does not
hesitate to tell the crowd when it
Is In error in his opinion.
Small potato American politi-
clans seeking power and placed on
the public payrolls never fail to
flatter thei fasteners. They do not
understand that the day Is here
