II so, you should know about the
inexpensive ease with which you car
install modern arches to connect your
rooms, now that metal bases for plas-
ter arches are replacing imperfect
wood arches.
Instead of making curved wooden
forms to hold up and guide your plas-
ter, you buy the metal arches, ready

into place before you put your plaster
on, and act as base to hold the plas-

which can be seen through the arch.
II you are building a house, and
don't want to put millwork around

The combination of using the plates

scope to cooking heretofore impossible.
The fumes rising from the food are

RISE IN RENTSDUE
THROUGHOUT j. S.
Largest Increase Expected
in Midwest, Survey
Indicates.
epecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, June 13.-That group
Of the American people who pay rent
each month can expect O further rise
Of approximately $50 per cent during
the coming year and those living in
the Midwest will experience the largest
increase, one OF go per cent, while
the gain in the Far Western and
Mountain States should be the small
est, one Of 81 per cent, according to
figures compiled by the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America from
data supplied by its members, located
In 36 States, who replied to the or
ganization's fourth poll on various
public and business questions.
The average increase for the next
gear in the Eastern States will be
about s.8 per cent and in the Southern
States 9 per cent, George H. Patterson,
secretary, said in announcing the re-
suits.
"Our tabulations also show" said
Mr.. Patterson, that the average
increase in rents of apartments for
the country as a whole in 1885, as
compared with 1884, amounted to ap-
proximately 80 per cent, as against
an average rise Of 8.3 per cent in 1884
over 1888. Increases in the four
broad geographical sections Of the
country, segregated in making our
compilations, shows that in 1885, as
compared with the previous year,
apartment rents gained per cent
in the Southern States, S per cent
in the Eastern States, 10.4 per cent
in the mountain and Far Western
States and 9.5 per cent in the Middle
Western States.
Single-Family Homes Needed.
~As to private dwellings, our mem
bers estimate that the average in
crease in rents in this type of housing
per cent, while the gain in 1885 over
1884 was about 7.6 per cent. This
fact can be better appreciated when
it is stated that every member Of our
association, without exception, pointed
out that the lack of single-family
homes was becoming a problem in
his community. This Is undoubtedly
the greatest and most important
single item in the entire housing
problem-a shortage of single-family
homes
The mortgage bankers poll also
revealed that 98 per cent Of the men,
bers replying said that families in
their communities that had doubled
up" during the depression years were
"undoubling," and that this situation
alone will create a housing problem
In itself because of the fact that so
little building has gone on since 1924.
Thirteen per cent of the associations
members stated that there was some
surplusage of apartment space in their
communities, but that it was not
large, and that it would undoubtedly
be taken up in the very near future.
The remainder stated that apart
ments were well filled" Ninety-five
per cent of the replying members said
that no more Office space was required
In their communities at the present
time, indicating, Mr.. Patterson said,
that no important amount of new
construction in this field can be ex-
pected for some time.

Window SilIs Protected.

For Summer cottages where con-
stantly open windows invite storm
damage-it is well to use exterior
paint on the inside window sills to
protect them against the moisture.

G.. H. D.-A well-mannered person
does not walk in front of another
person, even If the other person Is
only the office boy, when there is
room to walk around him. If it be-
comes necessary to pass in front of
another, one excuses oneself.
