SCIENCE, ARCHITECTURE UNITE ON SMALL HOME PROBLEM
MANY FEATURES
. COMBINED At
Low COST

Science and architecture have
Joined hands and gone to work
on the inexpensive small home
problem and the resulting crea.
tons are exceeding all expecta-
tons.
In nearby Bethesda the Berger
Manufacturing Company, a sub
sidiary of the Republic Steel Cor
poration, is building two scien-
tifically designed homes at Roose-
welt and Jefferson Streets.
The keynote of the system is
the fabricated steel frame or
skeleton of the house. Each steel
unit can be handled by one man,
with the result that five men can
easily assemble the entire frame"
work in one day.
But it's in the laying-out and
arrangement of the house that
the scientist-architect combina-
ton outdid themselves.
Central Pipe System
All water pipes, vents and flues
are contained in one stack which
is an integral part of the wall
construction.
All kiachen equipment is placed
along one wall. A gas heating air
conditioning unit is at one
end. Other units are a gas range,
laundry tub, sink, and mechanical
refrigerator. They are all table
height and can be used as a con.
tinuous working surface.
Hot or cold air, depending on
the season, is circulated through
out the house in ducts built into
the steel frames. Used air is with
drawn into inconSpicuouS, attrac-
tive grills and carried out.
The choice of heating equipment
Is up to the purchaser. In any
event, the one selected occupies
about the same space as an ordi-
nary kitchen stove, and contains
the furnace, fan for air distri-
button, an instantaneous hot wa
ter heater and the air-condition-
ing equipment.
There are no exposed pipes,
making it simpler to keep the
Kitchen and bathroo mclean.
Labor Saving
In fact the housewife will dis
cover dozens of time and labor
saving devices incorporated in
these homes.
Another feature of these homes
is the wide choice of building ma
terials with which the exterior Of
the house can be finished. Brick,
stucco, stone, clapboard, shingles
in fact, any standard building
material can be applied to the
steel frame. Walls are insulated
with a layer of pure cork. Sub
flooring is mixture of cork and
concrete. This factor, plus the
air-conditioning, makes them prac-
tically impervious to weather.
The surprising thing about the
whole project is the low cost of
these homes. With all their adj
vantages, they can be built for less
than the cost of an ordinary
house of similar size and type.

WHITE ASSA|LS
PATRONAGE
METHODS
By J. EARLE MOSER

Inroads of the patronage meth.
cd of appointments cost the tax.
payers of America 100000, 1000
every year, DR.. Leonard D. White,
member of the Civil Service Com.
mission, told the Hammond, In.
diana, League of Women Voters in
an address last night. DR.. White
said the waste, which is occurring
in Federal, State and local gov
ernments, is a conservative eSti'
mate of the cost entailed by dis
regard of the merit system.
Declaring that many Congress
men and Federal officials would
eagerly greet an opportunity to
heave patronage by the board, he
added:
"The difference between the two
systems is fundamental. They are
irreconciliably opposed. The in
terest of good government de-
mands the expansion of the merit
system and the gradual elimina-
ton of patronage"
DR.. White also pointed out that
state governments have fallen be"
hind the Federal service in intel
ligence, forceful activity and gen.
eral efficiency.
A chart of figures on the merit
patronage subject was recently re-
leased by Miss katherine A. Fred
eric, Government expert of the
league, in her booklet dealing with
personnel problems.
The graph showed the following
percentage of merit system work
ers in the total of public service
employees: Federal Government,
IT per cent; State Governments,
80 per cent; municipal govern
ments. SO per cent, and county,
township and district govern
ments, ii per cent.
Conducted under the auspices
of local unions of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
more than 300 Government folk
embark on a special train at I

cursion to New York. The affair,
which is staged annually by the
NFFE, will be under the super
vision of Albert M. Reising of the
Department of Interior and Elmer
C. Hooper, Treasury official. The
travellers will leave the Big Town
at 1880 p. m. tomorrow.

ment Employees announced today
that word has been received from
the Civil Service Commission, fol.
lowing a request, that charwomen
employed by the District of Co.
lumbia Government may receive

mission wrote as follows:

LARGE CHINESE
CITIES PER|LED
BY Fl D D D

SHANGHAI, July Is QN.S).
Already dealing death and de-
stroying property at a CHASTITY
rate, the Yangtze and Yellow
rivers today pounded relentleSsly
against their man-made and
natural banks, threatening entire
cities with destruction.
Swollen by recent storms, the
rivers threatened a repetition of
the 1881 disasters in which hun
dreds of thousands of lives were
lost.
A crumbling concrete dixie at
Hankow, where the Yangtze
Surged through at level of more
than 81 feet, threatened the en-.
tire city of 100000 with oblitera-
ton. Unofficial estimates place
deaths in the Hankow area at
$4,000 during the last few days.
Vast Thousands Homeless
Northward, the great Yellow
River crashed through its banks
in nine places, pouring out death
over a wide area in Shantung
province. Authorities feared this
torrent again would change its
course and perhaps rage through
its old bed to flow into the sea
200 miles south of its present
outlet.
More than 100000 already are
homeless in the Yellow River
regions.
At Hankow, where the citizenry
watched the Yangtze water level
breathlessly and where coolies
and soldiers labored night and
day to keep the bikes intact, the
Han river flowed into the Yangtze
laden with death.
Crisis in Two Days
Numerous bodies floated down
with the wreckage of homes.
Some bodies were in family
groups, death having struck as
fathers and mothers clasped their
children in their arms in desper-
ate efforts to cheat their fate.
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang,
former governor of Manchuria,
said at Hankow the crisis would
be passed within the next two
days. He said that if the bikes
hold until tomorrow. the city
would be saved.

Treat Them Rough

Q HOOTING down and capturing public
= enemies was master stroke in getting
crime under control and the Omen are
entitled to considerable credit However,
the legal staff members did an equally i'm
portant bit of business when they secured
the conviction of several attorneys who have
profted from the crimes of their clients.
In our judgment the lawyer who secures
or attempts to gain an acquittal by cooking
up alibis and taking advantage of the twists
of legal procedure to delay disposal of such
cases is in reality party to the crime and
should be treated as roughly as the GRIM
inal whose ill-gotten gains he receives.

Convict Ball Players

XV1HILE it was wise and humane of
w Judge Lands to decide that Alabama
Pitts paid his debt to society with
the completion of his prison term and is eli
gible to play professional baseball, it was un-
fortunate that the hullabaloo about the af-
fair made Pitts a nationally known figure.
Just as it is unfair to let their past re-
cords stand in the way of criminals who ap-
parently want to go straight, it is also un-
wise to let their prison records become an
asset to them. Pitts should earn his way in
baseball on his playing ability and the own
ers of the Albany club will set fine prece-
dent by letting the Imprisonment matter
drop as rapidly as possible. Moreover it
will be better for Pitts in case he fails as a
baseball player if this course is taken.

Reading the complaints of the northern
Minnesotans who grabbed at the chance to
go to Alaska at government expense is bit
disgusting. No one told these people that
pioneering was picnic, no movie or book
we ever saw showed early settlers enjoying
a life of ease. Their joys came from living
on their own land, building homes of their
own and accomplishing something for them
selves. Luxuries they no doubt hoped to at
tain-for their children's children. Can it
be that the stock has so degenerated that
the fact that radios don't work so well in
Alaska is major pioneer difficulty?

Most frequent kick on the New Deal in
rural sections: "Why do we cut down pro-
duction and then start importing foodstuffs
from other countries ?" Of course the an
swer is so foreign countries can get money
with which to buy more of our manufacture
ed products so our laborers will have work
and be able to buy more foodstuffs. It's a
bit complicated and we wonder how many
dollars could be traced all around this puzzle.
How many stray off to help somebody else
Give rural America all it's crops are worth
and the labor class will find plenty of jobs
making the things needed on farms in this

Glasses Racketeer

A stranger called at the home of
an aged couple at Dovray and
stated that he wished to examine
the eyes of the woman. Then he
told her that she was going blind,
unless she could give him $100 in
which case she would save her
eyesight.
She asked if he was DR.. Curry,
and the stranger replied that he
was. She only had $40, but gave
him that, and he left her a pair
Of glasses worth probably 25
cents.
DR.. Curry heard Of the incident
later, and went to call on the wo-
man. She was surprised to learn
that he was DIR. Curry, and that
she had been fleeced out of $40.
