Guns Kept in
New Cabinet at
Sheriff's Office

Guns, ammunition, bombs and
other equipment belonging to the
county sheriffs department have
a handsome new cabinet in which
they are kept under lock and key.
The collection resembles a gang
ster's dream with each gun cast
ing reflections from well polished
metal.
Sheriff Robert w. Ware had the
cabinet made by TRUSTEES SO that
all the arms used by himself and
his deputies may be kept in first
class condition.

AT the request Of the District Com

the Washington Committee on Hous-

While We have made only beginning
on the draft of the code itself. all of
the necessary basic research has been
done. We have prepared two sets of
five-volume comparative compila-
ton of housing provisions in use else
where; laws and regulations now in
lse In the District Of Columbia. and
housing standards that have been used
or advocated by public or private
housing agencies. These provisions
are arranged item by item, using the
housing law of Iowa as basis. This
compilation is not only facilitating
preparation of the code, but will also
facilitate evaluation by others of the

would be the last to criticize their ex-
cellent work" He points out. however,
that the task of collecting data In An
industry so scattered and disorganized
as construction is stupendous.
He shows. on the other hand that
much new light has been thrown on

ing picture by the Division of Construc-
ton. which. for the first time, this
year began collecting building statis-
tics in towns of $500 to 10000 popu-
lation. Previously. only towns of more
than 10000 were included.
In concluding his article, Mr., Bober
urges that a very considerable extern
sion of data is necessary, especially
in towns Of less than $500 people and
the entire rural area in this country,
comprising 43.s per cent of the total
population, which is still wholly un-
reported. Because of our inadequate
building statistics, he says. no one will

Of . series of subdivision conferences
being conducted in large population
centers by the Fedeal Housing Ad-
ministration. according to Seward H.
Mott, chief Of the land-planning Sec
tion. In charge Of the program.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton. through its subdivision confer
ence program, is attempting to show
the construction industry that con-
struction Of large number of home
units on q small-profit- per-unit basis
provides the construction industry
with 4 plan Of home merchandising
similar to that utilized by the auto

program is also proving to selected
groups Of operative builders that the
construction of homes in q price range
under $4.500 can be effected under
present conditions in the industry
with q reasonable profit.
Subdivision ParIeys.
"Our subdivision conferences" Mott
said. ARE formulated to appeal to
selected groups of builders, financial
men, material dealers and others who
are capable Of quantity production

One of the chief benefits growing
out Of the subdivision conference pro-
gram has been the opportunity pro-

and others how stable. decent COM
munities can be created for low

why lov-priced homes in the past
have not been considered good invest

as a rule. not located properly. This
series of conferences is showing how
such undesirable conditions may be
avoided.
While the details Of launching
such developments in large centers

GAIN IN PURCHASE
OF FARMS |SC|TED
Trend Likely to Continue
During 1887, Declares
Credit Administrator.

The steady increase in the purchase
of farms during the last 1s months
may be expected to continue during
the balance of this year and al OF
1897, w. I. Myers. governor Of the
Farm Credit Administration. stated
here today.
He based his prediction. he said. upon
four facts: % that the land banks
sold nearly so per cent more farms
In the past nine months Of 1895 than
In the corresponding period of 1888:
~ that they have been doing An in
creasine amount of financing OF farm
purchases: (3) that long-term loans
at very reasonable rates will be avail
able, and - that there will be
continued general improvement In the
position of agriculture.
Responsible for part of the increase
IN farm purchase financing, the gov.
ernor explained, is the fact that sec
end mortgage loans by the land bank
commissioner are now being made in
addition to the Federal Land Bank
first-mortgage loan to assist in farm
purchasing. thus making it possible
for a person with character and farm
ing experience to finance up to IS
per cent of the appraised normal
value of the farm.
The purposes for which farmers are
placing mortgages on their farms are
changing rather rapidly. Myers stated.
While approximately 80 per cent Of
the proceeds of the Federal land bank
and commissioner loans in 1888 and
1884 were used to refinance debts, in
1885 the percentage 50 used dropped
to 81 per cent and during the first
seven months of this year to about 79
per cent. This means that larger
proportion of the loans are being used
to purchase farms. In the IL months
ending October l this year the Federal
land banks and commissioner extended
credit in the approximate amount OF
$4,000 900 to finance the purchase OF
nearly 10000 farms, including acquired
farms sold by the land banks on mort
gage or contract terms.
This year the percentage of land
bank proceeds used to purchase farms
L. higher than at any time during the
life of the land bank system. with the
exception of the period from 1917 to
1920 and the year 1929.

ton should become a much more pro-
nounced factor than at present. this
figure Of 425,000 houses may become
much higher as cash seeks refuge in
real estate"
Before predicting the number Of
homes to be built during the coming
year Mr.. Bober made a careful an
alysis of homes constructed during
1895, which. in view Of our highly
inadequate building figures. may be
roughly estimated at 26000o.
In arriving at the 260,000 figure
he based his computa tions on data
collected by the F. w. Dodge Corp
and the Division Of Construction Of
the United States Department of La
Dor. the two most important sources
OF information on the production of
homes in this country.
He did not accept their figures at
face values. however. for reasons fully
explained in his American Builder ar

DR.. Schmeckebier said this tribunal
should have a small paid staff and
power to compel the attendance OF

records
Methods employed by the commit
tee during the past year in efforts to
Improve housing conditions among
washington's low-income families
were discussed by Florence D. Stewart,
executive secretary of the committee.
The principal method employed" J"
she said. is field work. Our field
worker, who Is trained in home eco
nonics and in housing, is sent by the
committee to inspect dwellings that
are reported to us or that because Of
their location in slum areas are be-
lleved to contain conditions that are
q menace to the physical safety or to
the health of the occupants. OF
course, many menaces to the safety
and health of the occupants Of a
dwelling are menaces to the health Of
large sections of this community as
well This is not only because do
mestic workers, laundry workers, store
employees and others may go from
el'lm houses tn serve more fortunate
Washingtonian in one way or an
other It il also due to the fact that
fires spread; that insects that breed
In staenant. filthy water caused by
etopped-up yard drains may find their
way to other sections of the city.
In the nine-month period since
March l when this committee began
its active field work. 866 visits have
been made to 55l dwellings ON which
302 violations OF laws governing hOuS-
Ing were reported to the proper city
departments; 148 violations have been
corrected and vigorous follow-up work
on the remaining cases is being done.
In some cases, to correct bad con-
ditions that are not in violation Of
laws, the committee negotiates with
owners or agents to induce them to
make necessary repairs.
Instruction 70 Housewives.
This is further supplemented by
instruction to housewives on methods
Of avoiding or overcoming certain
tnsanitary conditions in the home
"A useful by-product of our field
work has come out of our keeping up
to date file Of addresses Of vacant
low-rent dwellings that happen to be
found during the course OF regular field
work. These are inspected and the
addresses given to social workers, who
inquire for houses for client families.

SCREEN PROTECTION
Painting of Those Not Removed
Is Advised.

If the screens of your porch are
not so constructed that they may be
taken down and stored for the Winter,
it is essential that they be painted to
protect them from the weather. Even
if they can be taken down, painting
won't hurt them, for the wires are
very thin. and the corrosion will rot
them through. Special paints. includ-
ing lacquer. are made for this pur-
pose Inquire of your paint shop, and
they can advise you.
