II you have always wanted real
shower bath in your home, and have
hesitated to go ahead with its install
lation due to the muss and bother
you thought it would involve, you can
now 60 right ahead and forget the
old converted bath tub.
A complete shower bath Of the COM
partrnent type has recently been in
troduced which eliminates a major
part Of the troublesome building work
that formerly was necessary in an In
stallation Of this kind. Made Of en-
tirely pre-fabricated enameled steel
sheets 1t is only a matter OF q few
hours work for a pair of competent
workmen to put the whole thing to-
gether. The three steel walls and top
are assembled with bolts and the re-
sulting structure moved into place
over the bottom piece which is con-
nected to a convenient drain pipe.
Provision has been made on the
walls of the compartment for the in
stallation Of ordinary tiling If you so
desire. Otherwise you can leave the
enameled steel walls in their original
condition which is highly decorative
in itself. After the unit Is In place
it is an easy matter to plaster around
it, or finish the whole thing of with
an attractive molding.
A chrome plated door with an at
tractive marine design etched in its
glass panels adds even more to the
beauty of this modern bathing ma
chine.
With Spring hard upon us, and the
usual nords of flies not far behind. you
will soon be faced with the problem
of baffling the little fellows. All sorts
of things have been invented to kill
them after they get into the house, but
why let them come in at all If you
are only going to kill them. That Is
hardly the hospitable thing to do.
Let us rather make them keep their
distance with some really efficient

business because the cash payment
required is 20 per cent.
Berens states that the proposal
frequently made to increase the
amount Of the loan to be insured
in relationship to the appraised value
to 80 per cent would have an un-
favorable reaction on lending agencies,
and make it much more difficult to
secure adequate funds. Under present
regulations he said prospective pur-
chasers Of F. H. A. insured mortgages
are plentiful.
Believes Violations Secret.
The mortgage loan correspondent
feels that in numerous instances
the 20 per cent cash payment clause
r. H. A. loan and that he does not
being secretly violated. He says that
in his opinion, where the purchaser
Is unable to furnish the necessary
cash, many properties are being
financed with the builder or owner
taking back an unsecured note. He
points out that the applicant for an
r. H. A. mortgage states that there
will be no existing trusts behind the
r. H. A. Ian and that he does not
contemplate creating any.
However. Berens continued, "he does
not state that he will not give an un-
secured note for any difference. In
fact, the national housing act cannot
prohibit him from borrowing money
to meet any deficit in the required
20 per cent. The net result is that
when the F. H. A. and the lending
agencies consider an application for
q loan, they assume that the borrower
has the necessary funds available. and
in considering the case in accordance
with the ability of the borrower to
repay, they are unable to ascertain
II he has assumed another obligation
which might require higher payments
than he is capable Of undertaking."
Berens' suggestion is we'll worth
consideration by administration lead
ers, who now are engaged in drawing
up proposed changes in the housing
act, so that it may be made more
effective and therefore more potent
stimulant to recovery.

my HOME CONTEST
WILL CLOSE TODAY.
English Provincial Residence
Appears to Be Certain
Winner of Award.

As the final week of public voting
IN w. C. g. A. N. Miller's MY Home"
contest drew to a close at Woodward
& Lothrop's today, 1t appeared a
virtual certainty that the English
Provincial residence which has been
called class B would win for its de-
signer the 500 cash prize and the
right to see the home Of his dreams
actually built in the Miller develop
ment of Westerleigh.
The closing hours of this unusual
competition, fostered in an effort to
promote increased interest in fine
home design, as well as to afford some
home lover the opportunity to see his
ideal house erected, has seen the
sixth floor Of the department store
crowded with voters seeking to cast
ast-minute ballots for the home OF
their choice.
Second to the leading model is
the Pennsylvania farm house type
listed as z on the ballots.
Late this afternoon there will be

will head a committee of referees as
the final votes are counted and the
winning model announced.
A few hours after the winning model
Is named application will be made
for q building permit, the architect
who worked on the winning plan will
be commissioned to proceed with work
ing drawings and some time next
week ground is expected to be broken
for the foundation of the home.
The five models have been on dis
play at the department store for the
last two weeks, and represent the phy-
sical reproduction Of original designs
submitted by the public. The five
models we're built by Carmelo Aruta,
designer and model builder, and his
family, from architects renderings
Of the five best house designs received
by w. C. & A. N. Miller. More than
400 designs were submitted, and the
five best of these was chosen by a
distinguished committee Of judges
headed by Stewart Mcdonald, Federal
housing administrator.
Several architects worked over each
of the five plans chosen and the
Judges again selected the five best
OF these reproductions. taking into
consideration fidelity with which the
original intent of the layman designer
was carried out by the architect.
From these five renderings the Arutas
made their models

held here, has caused favorable COM

screens, and save us all lot Of trouble.
The old wooden framed screens have
always been q source Of annoyance to
the man-about- the house. and the
business of taking them down in the
Fall and putting them up again has
certainly detracted q lot from the
pleasure Of many Saturday after
noon.
Why shouldn't screens be built In
the same as any other part Of the
house? Well, first of all. they have
usually been made Of material that
would more than likely rust out in the
course of a long Winter If they were
left in place. Then, again, with the
screens up it would have been prac-
tically impossible to open them up
when you so desired due to their
method of installation.
People are beginning to smarter up
about screens. however. and there are
now a number of very well built insect
protectors which are built in, and yet,
are easily removed and opened.
One screen is made Of aluminium
all the way through, even the wire
mesh, and instead Of unhandy lock
fasteners, 1t is equipped with con-
venient spring catches that look as
though they would work and con-
tinue to work for quite some time to
come.
Another screen is built so that its
frame is definitely screwed right into
the window frame, while the mesh is
mounted In small swinging panels in
the manner Of easement windows.
They can be locked in either an opened
1r closed position, enabling you to fling
open your windows completely when
only gentle Spring breezes are waiting
by, or closed tightly when Summer
nights bring foolish flies and murder

QUALITY DEMANDED
Caddle Says Return to Better
Building Material Outstanding.

In announcing the results OF q
survey Just completed by the Copper
g. Brass Research Association, Ber-
tram B. Caddle, secretary of that or
ganization, states that an outstanding
feature of the present building situa-
ton in this country is the return to
quality materials in residential con-
struction.
The Government, according to Mr.
Caddle, has contributed largely to
this result through its refusal to
finance building operations unless
plans submitted call for the use OF
durable goods. thus insuring the
building lasting value not only
through but beyond the mortgage
period involved.

A recent issue of the Literary Digest contained an
article which revealed startling facts about hosp
talzaon in several our large cities For example: in
New York City disqualification costs SC day. This
is rendered by the Associated Hospital Service of
New York. In Cleveland and Birmingham it is 60 cents
month. In Rochester, New York it is 65 cents month
in Sacramento and New Orleans it is Is cents.
Are you alarmed at these figures? If figure out
what you pay at the Afro American Sons & Daughters
Hospital The cost is $500 year which is less than
day. There, is given services which rival those
rendered larger hospitals So after all you should be
extremely proud of the facilities which organ-
zation offers.

THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM

Paul G. Hoffman. head of the Auto
mobile Manufacturers Safety Commit
tee, offers comments about the traffic
fatality problem which are well worth
weighing He disagrees with efforts to
make cars go slow, saying that 80 per
cent of accidents occur at speeds under
so miles an hour. He also says that 90
per cent of drivers and pedestrians are
safe and sane This fixes the response
bility on 10 per cent of drivers, and at
slower speeds. Mr. Hoffman's statistics
are very welcome. We long have felt that
an inefficient or negligent slow driver
is far more dangerous than fast driv-
er. Which merely means that speed cur
tailment will not solve the problem. It
is also interesting to note Hoffman's
opinions which tend to verify what this
column has recommended on occasion,
namely, that the way to reduce fatalities
is to:
Issue licenses only to drivers able to
meet necessary tests.
Revoke licenses for ticket-fiXing, in
toxication (whether in an accident or
not) or demonstrated poor driving.
Keep wornout Junk" cars off the
highways.

AIRLINE TRAVEL
INCREASES.

One continually hears that air
planes are safer than motor cars, but
doubts it on reading of distressing acci-
dents on airlines. In fairness to both
cars and planes, it should be pointed out
that plane wrecks are few and thus each
accident is NEWS spelled in capital
letters, whereas auto wrecks are COM
mon and newspapers do not have enough
room to write about them all.
Airplane wrecks to the contrary not
withstanding, America is going more
airminded. Last year, according to de-
partment of commerce figures, air line
operators carried 746,946 passengers,
the largest number in history. These
planes flew more than 55,000,000 miles
and carried almost four million pounds
of express. Transposed in terms of the
number of miles that each passenger
travelled, the passenger miles totalled
ONE-THIRD BILLION!
The few outstanding airplane crash
es shrink into insignificance in view Of
such figures.
Many motorists who also fly air.
planes agree that an airplane is safer
than motor car.
