Walls Can Be Painted
To Divide a Room

BY using different colors on the
walls, the division of room into
spaces for different purposes may
be suggested.
Paul Wiener. in designing a
room for his New York apart
ment, had the two walls of the
book corner painted white, while
the alcove containing a couch at
the opposite end Of the room is
painted blue. The fourth wall is
red. These colors are repeated
and harmonized in the paintings
and in the tones Of the modern
rug. White appears again in the
hand woven chenille window cur
tains, the leather cover of the
tubular metal easy chair and the
painted book shelves.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Less costly
one-family homes and more costly
apartments are characteristic OF
this years residential building as
compared with last years, the
Uniter States Building and Loan
League finds from its study of
Department of Labor figures,
on building permits issued.
The home building and home
owning committee of the league,
through its chairman, L. w. Pei.
lett, Newburgh, N. Y, finds in
this trend the germ of more wide
spread home ownership since the
new houses being built on less
costly lines are more within the
reach of the average family for
owner occupancy than any new
houses have been since 1921.
Taking the homes for which
permits were ISSUED from Septem-
Der, 1884, through May, 1885, Mr..
Pellet shows the average one
family house costs $205 less than
did those built in the like period
of 1933-34.
Increase Shown
Similarly, comparing the cost of
new apartment buildings per fam
lily the two periods, an increase of
1852 per apartment is shown this
year. The difference in the cost
Of living in a multi-family build
ing and in a one-family house is
thus narrowing down and militat-
ing in favor of home ownership.
Mr.. Pellet points out that the
so-called jerry-builder has not
again appeared on the scene after
his activities in the ZOOS so that
the reduction in the cost for the
average new house does not imply
cheaper construction but more
economical planning and undoubt-
eddy less floor space. He said:
at is distinctly encouraging
to see that with the upward
trend of home building this
year has come a realization of
the true market for the one-fam-
ily home which no one seemed to
see in the boom period Of the
'2O's.

Hints on Conditioning
Summer COTTAGES

A little time spent on recondi-
tioning the summer cottage, be-
fore it Is deserted for the winter,
will protect your vacation hang
out against weather destruction
and prepare it for occupancy next
year-ready for your own family
or for rental. Check it over to see
if the roof will survive snow and
storms. Does it need new shingles
or stain? Do the metal Hastings
and drain pipes need recoating?
How about the screens on win
dows and doors?
Give the wire a coat of screen
enamel now and you have only to
dust the screens off when they
are put up next spring. Porch
floors and steps probably need
paint. Summer refrigerators often
need attention. Give both interior
and exterior a coat Of quick-dry-
ing enamel and leave the door
wide open.

REALTY HEADS
STUDY TAX

This Is a year of years for real
estate. BY every indication it is
the year of "the turn" BY that
same token every piece of sound
pioneering in real estate activity
be it building, financing, man
agement, advertising, selling--is
like a pioneer design at an auto
mobile show. 1t tests good deal
of ice. Men want to know just
how it is being done. There are
ideas in it, to turn over, for every
man in the field.
How do you do it?" is the
practical question expected to be
uppermost when realtors from
coast to- coast come to Atlantic
City, October %, "a and IS for
what is expected to be the largest
annual convention in years OF
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards.
Speakers Chosen
In preparation, executive com
mitteeS chosen from every spe
cialized branch of the business
are busy selecting the men from
whose present work there is most
to learn, and are inviting these
men to be convention speakers
before the various great divi
sional and institute meetings

juStment of the whole tax struc.
ture so as not to lay a heavy
handicap, completely without eco.
nomic justification, on real estate
and home and farm ownership
The conference is expected to deal
both with proposed Federal action
and proposed action by the vari
GUS States.
General Tax Policy
The association emphasizes the
fact that in solving the problem
Of how to make a just and effec.
tive levy to cover costs of govern
ment Federal, State and local tax
sources and tax policies must be
studied as parts Of what should
be general national tax policy.
It has for several years urged
that the Federal Government call
a national conference, such as is
now understood to be planned for
the coming fall, at which a better
coordination of tax policy as be-
tween Federal. State and local tax,
ing agencies might be discussed
It has repeatedly urged that such
conference should not be made
up exclusively of tax officials, but
should give definite representation
to taxpayers.

Curtains That Match
Walls Recommended

A charming unity Of effect Is
gained in q living room or dining
room when the glass curtains are
the same color as the lighttinted
painted walls. If ready-made cur

not come in the required hue,
cream-colored ones can be bought
and dipped into one of the good
dyes on the market.

Realty
FLASHES
BY LOU PEDLAR, Jr.
Real Estate Editor

Some indication of the de-
mand for attractive small apart.
mentS has been brought home
to Washington realtors once
again by the ease with which
the Colonial Village in Claren'
don was rented to capacity two
weeks after the project was
started.
Ease is hardly the correct
word. To date, Gustave Ring,
who heads the organization, has
received IL times as many appl-
cations as there are apartments.
There are 276 units in the prof.
ect, and rentals range from
$3.50 for the three-room apart
ments to $62.50 for five rooms.
Construction is still going on.
Tractors are roaming over the
landscape, aking graceful
parks out of hillocks and hum
mocks. However, by october l.
the last detail will have been
completed and every apartment
tenanted by a happy, contented
family.
On the strength of all this,
plans are under way for an adj
ditional development-w h h,
we hear. will provide more than
400 units.
Incredible as it may seem. :.
John Whelan, who designed the
Copper House, assures us that
the four-inch thickness of spun
glass packed inside the walls
and roof provides heat and
cold insulation equivalent to
eight feet of solid masonry!
Even the Government has
gone in for building in a big
way. It has just bought 13-acre
tract along Benning Road N. E.,
near Twenty-fourth Sire e t.,
where low-cost homes will be
erected by the PWA. The prop
erty was sold by Hugh A. Thrift
and Jacob Gruber.
The exodus out of town is not
confined exclusively to potential
home buyers. Many realtors are
taking advantage of the Labor
Day weekend to jaunt hither
and yon.

It is sometimes advisable to use
a final coat or two coats of var.

CHICAGO INTERESTED.
City Has Tank Similar to One An
nOunced in New York.

CHICAGO, February 2 @.-Dr.
Henry Schmitz, ST., of the radio-ther-
apy laboratory in Mercy Hospital
here, which houses the largest X-ray
generator of its type, displayed great
interest today in the new X-ray ma
chine proposed for Columbia Uni
versity Medical Center.
Our tube also will produce million
volt rays" he said, and as I under
stand the announcement, the innova-
ton in the Columbia University ma
chine will be its concentration.
"At Mercy Hospital the tube is IL
feet long and about 2 feet in cir
cumference. 1t is fed by between 10
to 20 milliamperes. The current comes
In one end of the tube, hits target
and is DETECTED to two filters, each
of which can provide treatment for
one patient.
I'm comparison with the new type
tube already built in California by
David H. Sloan, treatment there is
said to require between 80 and 40
minutes, whereas our treatment, be-
cause of the far greater number of
milliamperes used, can be given in
about 10 minutes"
The Mercy Hospital X-ray machine
Is housed in building 60 feet long
by 80 feet wide, which contains so
tons of lead.
Because of the size of the machine,
two pumps are necessary to maintain
a constant vacuum. DR.. Schmitz ex-
plained that the pumps are used to
extract the gases generated within
the tube. Three transformers, built
In series, are necessary for its opera

SPEEDY REMEDIAL
GOLD ACT PLANNED
Congress Leaders Ready to
Rush Bill if Present Law
Is Voided.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders surveyed the
situation last night and decided they
could rush q remedial bill through
the House-if that were necessary
within q few hours after the Supreme
Court makes its delayed ruling on
gold.
At the same time, Senate Demo-
cratic leaders agreed that a bill, If
any, would have to originate in the
House. They were ready, though, to
speed through any essential legisla-
ton.
Byrns Explains Procedure.
Speaker Byrns. predicting that the
courts decision would uphold the
suspension of gold payments, ex-
planned possible procedure in this
way:
"a bill could be introduced when
the court makes its decision. Hear

mittee could bring in rule making
consideration of the bill in order.
IF worse came to worst, we could
by two-thirds majority, take the
bill up on the floor the same day it
was introduced and pass 1t before ad-
journment."
He took the position that "the i'm
portance of the decision has been
greatly exaggerated" and said he saw
no significance in the delay.

Old-Age Pension
May Come From
Slot Machines
Many Bills to Raise
Funds Are NOiU Before
State Legislatures.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 2.-Old-age
pensions and other public welfare
funds will come tumbling out of slot
machines if numerous bills, pending
or planned, are approved by State
Legislatures.
At least 81 State-governing bodies
are working on legislation calculated
to get a share-or a bigger slice-of
the money tossed into almost every
form of gambling from horse racing
to those marble game nickel-catchers.
Most of the proposed legislation deals
with pari-mutuels and slot machines.
The Illinois General Assembly has
under consideration a bill to tax slot
machines. Oregon may consider a
similar plan. Missouri may tax slot
machines, but does not intend to le-
galize gambling with them, while the
Texas Legislature has before 1t
proposal to levy heavy taxes on slot
machines.
Minnesota and Nebraska have bills
which would legalize and tax coin
machines. Gov. ]. M. Futrell of Ar
kansas, wants them either legalized
and taxed, or banned altogether.
Pennsylvania and Maine legislators see
possibilities in slot machine taxation.
South Carolina, Iowa and Indiana are
seeking measures to get rid of the
machines.
Pari-mutuel bills, in connection with
horse racing, or proposals to alter
laws already in effect, are before the
Legislatures of New York, New Jer-
sey, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Pennsylvania
and New Hampshire.
