Federal Reserve District in
81 Cities Shows 1925
November Permits.

Building inspectors in 81 cities of
the Fifth Federal Reserve District,
including Washington, issued 1925
permits in November, compared with
l,757 permits issued in November,
1888, the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond reported yesterday.
Estimated valuation figures in No.
vember totaled $3,014,411, an increase
Of s2.7 per cent above the low total
Of $1,564,65l reported for November,
1888, the Richmond bank adds.
Twenty-one of the 81 cities reported
higher valuation figures for the 1894
month, but Of the six largest cities
only Washington and Charlotte
gained, Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk
and Huntington reporting lower fig
ures than for November. Columbia
made the best showing in proportion
to population, but several other cities
also made very creditable records.
| Contracts actually awarded in No
vember for construction work in the
fifth district, including both rural and
urban projects, totaled $8,599,43l,
compared with $14,565,990 awarded
in November, 1888, and s9,809,965 in
November. 1882, according to figures
collected by the F. w. Dodge Corp.

SMALL HOME BOOM
IS DECLARED NEAR
BY |. FRIEDLANDER
Continued From First page.)

four timse as much home building as
we have had this year. This resi-
Dental construction will be largely
concerned with the one-family house
of the four, five and six-room variety.
The flow of private capital into apart
ment buildings is later development
in a business cycle than the invest
ment in small homes.
Both the market for existing homes
and the popularity Of newly built ones
will be supported by the abundance
of private capital for sound mortgage
loans. Mortgages up to 65 per cent
of the property value, where the bor-
rover demonstrates the ability to
meet a monthly obligation on the
home. will be recorded at the rate
of several thousand day II the de-
mand develops as we foresee it. The
greater portion Of this mortgage
money will come from the building
and loan associations, with their Ca
pacity expanded through the Federal
Home Loan Bank System. Many as
sociations will offer both the insured
mortgage plan Of the F. H. A. and
their own established lending plan,
which omits the annual service charge
and the annual insurance premium
levied on the borrower under the
F. H. A. plan. How much of the
home mortgage money will come from
banks and other lending institutions
through the mutual mortgage in
surance plan cannot possibly be pre-
dicted from here. But there Is every
indication that home building and
home purchase will go forward this
year, whether many Of the banks use
title II or not.
Discusses H. o. L. c.
"This abundance of private capital
will give the Government leadership
every reason to rely upon the insti-
tutions which have this money to
offer in lieu of spending any further
Treasury funds directly in mortgage
channels. Should the Home Owners
Loan Corporation get an additional
appropriation the tendency from here
would seem to be to confine it to
distress cases, and those already on
file, so as not to interfere with the
encouragement of private capital in
the field. The Federal Home Loan
Bank Board has already acted to give
the building and loan associations an
opportunity to take the load of of
the H. o. L. c., in many of the cases
now pending, by establishing kind
Of clearing house service for such
loan applications.
Statistics from the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board show that there

WINDOWS ARE CAUSE
OF HIGH FUEL BILLS
Storm or Double Type Add to
Comfort of Home in
Winter.

Windows, unless they are OF the
storm or double type. will, because OF
the high conductivity of glass, add
materially to fuel bills during Winter.
In fact the heat loss through this
source approximately equals the
amount of heat absorbed by the walls
in the average house.
This loss not only raises fuel con-
sumption, but in severe weather 1t
makes space near the windows un-
usable. The warm air coming into
contact with the glass gives up its
heat. chills and sinks to the floor,
causing drafts. Weather stripping
cuts down air infiltration but it does
nothing to lessen the loss through
conduction.
The storm or double window does
help by keeping the cold air away
from direct contact with the inner
glass by providing a layer of still air
between. Such windows should be
tight-fitting to keep this layer of
air motionleSS. Loose-fitting storm
windows cannot be very effective,
but properly fitted and stripped they
should cut the loss of heat so per
cent.
Home owners usually fit storm
windows only on the most exposed
side of the house. This is illogical.
Weather stripping and tight con-
struction are the means Of combat
ing the greater infiltration of air
on this side. Storm windows, on the
other hand, while they will help to
cut down infiltration simply because
the air has one more obstacle in its
path, are intended to decrease heat
loss by conduction. Conduction has
nothing to do with prevailing winds
but merely with the temperature OF
outside air in contact with the glass,
which is approximately the same on
all sides of a house except on those
windows slightly warmed by direct
sunlight. Storm windows, therefore.
should be fitted to every window in
the house. BY their use drafts will
be greatly reduced and fuel saving
may be expected.
One objection to storm windows
often heard is the difficulty of open
ing them for ventilation. Storm win
dows that open easily may be fitted
to. the few windows required for
ventilation.
Double glazed windows eliminate
this difficulty and not only give pro-
lection in Winter but will make the
house cooler in Summer. They
should always be constructed IN
such a manner that condensation
between the glass does not occur or
so that the panes may be removed at
will for cleaning.

FARLEY PROCESS
CORP. CHARTERED
First House to Use Pre.Cast
Panels Is on Colesville Pike,
Opposite Club.

To carry into the field Of pre-fahri-
Gated houses the Farley process Of
architectural concrete which made
possible the famous mosaic ceilings in
the Department of Justice, the Farley
Process Corp. was chartered today as
a District of Columbia corporation.
The Offices are in the National Press
Building, with a studio at 2l31 G
street northwest, and q plant at
Rosslyn.
The finishing touches are being put
on the first house to be built with
pre-cast panels of this process, on the
Colesville pike. opposite the Indian
Spring Country Club.
John j. Farley, who invented the
process, is president of the corpora
tion, and Basil G. Taylor, engineer
of the Farley studios, is vice president.
The secretary-treasurer of the cor
poration is Oswald F. Schuette, a
Washington newspaper man, who won
distinction by his anti-monopoly cam
paign in the field of radio and copy
right.

Wood floors are now being laid in
a plastic material without the use of
nails. The method follows the GEN.
tury-old principle used in the famous
chateaux of France and other Euro
pean countries in which the beautiful
parquet floors were laid in kind Of
plaster base.
The base formerly used contained
moisture which assisted in causing
deterioration Of the floor. The new
plastic materials, commonly called
mastic, assist in damp-proofing the
floor and tightly bond the finish floor
to the subfoor or understructure.
The mastic spreads out in a large,
thick sheet, which prevents the in
filtration of dust and dirt and to a
certain extent absorbs sounds made
when walking on the floor.

ARCHITECTS HELP
PREVENT ERRORS
Reconditioning of Houses
Seen to Offer Problems
Easy for Experts.

Consultation with an architect Is
urged by housing authorities when
home owners are confronted with
problems on home reconditioning and
building.
Costly mistakes can be avoided and
often more simple, less expensive solu-
tions to problems can be found with
the aid of the advice and judgment
of an architect. His relatively modest
consultation fee can be more than
Offset by savings in executing the
work and more attractive and salts
factory job results.
A landlord in Connecticut recently
wanted to add an extra bath room
to a house in order to increase its
rentability. His builder had advised
constructing an addition to the house
to accommodate the bath room. An
architect was consulted and by the
utilization of space otherwise wasted
he was able to incorporate the bath
room in the existing house. Saving
in construction cost paid the fee many
times over. the bath room was more
conveniently located and the house,
an old Colonial one, was saved the
Disagreement of a tacked-on addition
Mistake Is Caught.
Another small job for restaurant
man was handled similarly by the
alteration department Of a New York
architectural firm. On an entrance
stairway alteration. serious head
room mistake was avoided and a
better looking stairway provided.
In neither Of the above cases were
any drawings made. the service rem
dered was purely one of consultation.
An architect is equipped to render a
service comparable to the physician.
He can prescribe for building ills just
as the physician does for bodily ills,
and he need have no more interest
in the contractors charges than the
doctor has in the druggists bill.
Gives Expert Advice.
The architect is equipped by train
ing and experience to render expert
advice. Often his diagnosis and
prescription" can be carried out by
reliable contractor without need Of
drawings or specifications. Merely
the checking of items of expense by
disinterested expert may eliminate
costly errors and later disputes.
The property owner is feeling an
increasing need for this type of serv-
ice with the growing volume Of mod
ernization work. Its value is recog-
nized by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration in permitting such fees
to be part of modernization loan
insured by them.

or other material and the finished
wood flooring is imbedded in it.
The finished flooring usually con-
sists of short pieces having the width
and thickness of standard strip floor

the form Of squares or rectangular
blocks.
Parquet strips are customarily made
from oak, hard maple or other stand
ard flooring woods, and tongue and
grooved so that they make perfect,
tight-fitting joints. In some cases
the pieces or blocks are grooved on
10th edges and put together with little
splines which fit snugly into the
grooves, thereby bonding the in
dividual pieces or blocks together.

We do not yet know If Haupt-
mann was guilty of killing the
Lindbergh child himself, but we
do know he had in his posses
sion the ransom money and in
my estimation he has guilty
knowledge Of the case, even
though he refused to talk.
He also had a police record in
Germany. So he is not in my
estimation by any means an
innocent individual as some
people seem to think. A man
with a criminal record is a Grim
inal pure and simple, so why not
call spade a spade?
Law abiding people do not
steal or have police records.
I think Hauptmann a very
shrewd clever man but alb
Solutely callous and lacking in
all normal emotions.
To try to pin the Haupt.
mann money on the deceased
Mr.. Fisch showed his cleverness.
as dead men tell no tales. I
think we need waste no SYM
pathy upon Hauptmann, but
instead should give it to Mr..
and Mrs. Lindbergh, who lost
their dearest possession in the
murder Of their little son and
who all during the trial and
their ordeal have been so brave
ana so courageous and whose
lives can never be the same
again because of the death Of
their oldest child. D. A. D.
