BY LAWRENCE CRoLIUs.

A new linoleum has just been put on
the market which eliminates most of
the trouble usually associated with
putting down floor coverings Of that
sort. With the old material, you had
to cover the entire area with cement,
which was rather difficult to apply
unless you were an expert. 1t is nee
essary merely to moisten an adhesive
on the back of this new linoleum with
a wet brush, then put the covering
down and the job is done.
The special adhesive which is used
is applied at the factory and the max
ers state that, in matter OF two or
three hours. you can cover whole
kitchen floor. With the old style
linoleum it would take you many times
that amount Of work and you wouldn't
be at all sure that the entire surface
was completely glued down. On the
other hand, by having this specially
prepared adhesive on the back when
you buy it, you are assured Of a tight
Job that won't bubble up after it has
been used short time.
Linoleum seems to be coming back
into favor again, in a big way-not
only because of this labor saving glue
ing arrangement-but because of the
wide range OF patterns, colors and de-
signs from which you may choose.
If you want an attractive tile floor
in your game room, sun porch, or
vestibule, you merely select the size
and color tile design you vant-all
shapes and sizes being embossed on
the linoleum-and in short order you
have a floor that is hard to tell from
the original.

SALESMAN WINS
HOME CONTEST
Arlington Man, 23, Will Use
Money to Study
Architecture.

William F. Tapp. 23-year-old part
time shoe salesman in local depart
ment store, today was announced as
the winner Of the MY Home Compe-
tition," sponsored by the real estate
firm of w. c. & A. N. Miller. Tapp
Immediately stated he would use the
$100 prize money as the first deposit
toward q university course in archi-
lecture.
Tapp, who lives in Arlington, Va, is
graduate of Washington and Lee
High School where he took q mechani-
cal drawing course and a one-year
post graduate course in elementary
architecture. He has spent most of his
spare time virtually from the time he
first held a pencil in making sketches
of homes or reading architecture and
design guide books as we'll as home
magazines, sleeping himself in home
design and pouring out his ideas on
paper.
Since 1882, when he was graduated
from high school, young Tapp has
sought to make start toward his COL
lege fund, but his living expenses never
have been sufficiently low to allow him
to put any money aside. It was not
until awarded w. c. & A. N. Miller's

NEW zON|NC MAP
. BEING PUBLISHED
Business and Residential
CIaSsifications by Lusk
Unusual.

A new coming map which will show
both business and the various kinds OF
residential coming is now IN process
OF publication by Rufus S. LuSk. This
Is the first time coming map has
been printed in about five years. No
single map ever before has shown
both business zones and also the six
elassifications of residential zoning.
That there is need for such a
map" Mr.. Lusk said, lis indicated
by the many individuals and insti-
tutions which have already placed
orders. There have literally been
scores Of changes in coming since the
last map was published. This has
caused those who are interested in
real estate to phone the zoning office
constantly to inquire about zoning in
particular parts of the city. This
map will be printed in eight colors
and black and will be 4lx52 inches or
a trifle smaller than the official high
way map of the District which is
used as a base for the coming map.
The map will be scientifically COL
ored, so that 1t will be possible, as
soon as one becomes familiar with
the system Of coloring to determine
the use of property at a glance. In
the six residential zones. A, AR, ASR,
q, BR, c and D, the strongest color
ings will be used to indicate the zones
In which the land may be most in
tensely used. For those uses such as
A, where only detached buildings may
be built and BR where only row houses
may be erected, the colorings will be
in lighter shades whereas c and D
which permit the greatest amount of
occupancy will be in strong shades.
The coloring indicating business zones
will be just the opposite. The least
intense use, that is the first CONNER
cial zones, will be black whereas, in
dustrial property which permit almost
any kind of use of the land, will be
in light green.
"The maps which will be available
the latter part Of April are obtainable
either unmounted or mounted"

Home Modernization
Adhesive Back on Linoleum Merely Requires
Moistening to Prepare 1t for Laying
in Quick Time.

In room decorated in the modern
mode" or "neo-classic manner" you
can use linoleum very effectively. You
can have attractive contrasting color
combinations with smart designs inlaid
in accordance with ideas which you
may have devised yourself. Colors not
easily available in any other floor COW
ering can be found in linoleum, and If
you are trying to round out a har-
monizing color scheme you will find
this wide range of colors big help
in matching up and working out the
desired effect.
One of the cleverest things that the
linoleum makers have done is the
copying of knotty pine paneling and
flooring. Complete even to the little
wooden plugs, this material can be
used either as wall covering or as a
random width pine flooring.
With an almost unlimited range Of
effects which can be reproduced on the
surface Of this material, you can we'll
imagine the number of different ap-
plications to which nnoleum adapts
itself.

viii Study Architecture.
The difnculty of making both ends
meet, Tapp says, annually had pushed
the prospect Of realizing his ambition
further into the future. So far away
seemed the start Of his career, In fact,
that Tapp had almost given up the
idea of becoming an architect. and was
resigning himself to a humdrum life
of thwarted ambition. Winning the
contest, however, Tapp claims, has
awakened his desires and he has deter
mined to commence his new studies
just as soon as he has saved enough
to pay his first years tuition.

Tapp very nearly missed chance
to vote for his own design last week,
when he misunderstood the date for
voting and didn't realize his mistake
until virtually the last minute. But his
Arlington County friends more than
made up for this. their ballots rolling
up the commanding lead for his design

Shellac Dries Quickly.

A second coat of shellac may be
applied four hours after the preceding
one, but a longer interval for drying
Is preferable. Because Of its quick
drying properties, shellac must be
applied quickly. Exceptional care
should be taken to avoid skipping
places. For light wood and natural
finish, white shellac is used; otherwise
orange shellac is suitable.

Sumotari, Not Ju-Jitsu,

Ju-iitsu is not, as most people i'm

merely their art of self-defense. Jap
anese wrestling is sumotari, a form
of athletics in which every ounce of
weight counts. 1t is the national
sport, and very popular indeed; Su-
mo stars receive fees in excess OF

ball players. They are immensely

NEW COTTON LOOKS
LIKE SILK OR WOOL

Cotton that looks like silk, cotton
that looks like wool, cotton as
sheer as the gauziest chiffOns, cot
ton velvets, cotton tweeds and cot
ton laceS-all these will march in
the fabric parade.
Cord laces will be the tops in
spring and summer swank, shown
in tailored sports clothes for re-
sort wear now and all-around use
later.
Peasant weaves also are slated for
high success in natural neutral
tones, both in cotton and linen, with
bright accessories.
Embroidery, which has been
creeping back into the style pic
ture, achieves rampant recognition
in the new cotton fabrics. En-
broidered surfaces are all over the
place, both in soft, homespun type
of cotton fabrics for sports wear,
and in the organdies and mousse
lines for evening.

EVERY day in every way women
~ who recognize the Importance of
selecting materials for the fashion
ing of their costumes that can be
put to the test and not found want
ing" are turning to handsome de-
pendable silks that are really and
truly pure silk for the solution of
their fabric problems.
The fact that a lavish amount of
pleating, tucking, shirring and me-
ticulOus tailoring is involved in the
styling of this seasons smartest
apparel is proving an added incen-
tive to insist on silk of the better
sort that may be relied upon to
yield successfully to these varied
and sometimes intricate manipula-
tiOnS.
Three Outstandingly important
fashion trends are presented in the
Illustration, each of which demon
strates the chic and charm of silk
weaves in the current mode. For
the perfectly stunning jacket suit
the designer handles black and
white printed silk crepe as tailor
perfect as if it were wool The
braid-bound edges of the jacket in
terpret a highly significant styling
detail. AS to the white organdy
frill, it is a last word" in acces-
sorry chic.
The other standing figure reveals
Miss 1896 wearing a navy blue silk
sheer with a pleated tunic, for you
must know that the pleated tunic is
a top-notch fashion for spring and
summer. Mems wear buttons go
marching down the front of the tu-
mic pictured. Short puffed sleeves
follow the latest dictate of the
mode. Note that these are designed
to give shoulder emphasis as all the
newest fashions would have 1t. A

tiny bOutonniere and yellow
chamois belt stress the new vogue.
AS to this matter of tunics, from
all indications they are about to
stampede the fashion picture. If in
doubt, choose a tunic frOck is time
ly advice, for it is to be tunics by
day and tunics by night according
to reports from style centers. Some
tunics are straight and narrow while
other tunics flare about the knees
like a bell or a lampshade. Many
evening frocks adopt pleated skirts
with tunic tops.
Another big fashion feature is the
blouse that is all-over pleated like
the one shown in the picture. This
blouse is of bright green pleated silk
chiffon. 1t is worn with black silk
taffeta suit. Note the pleated frill
about the throat. This is a IA
vorite new neckline silhouette. And
again please to observe that the
sleeves are short and puffed in the
latest manner. The smsrtest flower
turbans are topheavy in front. The
one topping milady's prettily coiffed
head is made of purple silk vio-
lets. Purple, green and black is
the color scheme of this costume
which goes to show how striking
the new color alliances are this sea-
son.
The new and fashionable bolero
costumes bring blOuses into the very
foreground of the fashion scene.
With black bolero two-piece dresses
or suits the outstanding color idea
is to wear as bright blouse as the
new silk prints can afford, or If not
a print, then let your blouse be

Anyway, 90 the limit in matter of
daring color for your blouse.

Built-Up Heels Are Tops

Caprice is the keynote of the
new spring styles. While some
Paris authorities portend a vogue
for Spanish senoritas, Chinese de-
tiles and animated modern paint
ings, most American women are pre-
pairing to step forth in sober suits
and saucy accessories.
Mannish felts and fiower-trimmed
trifles flaunt breath-taking cOlors
in the new millinery modes. Tailored
waistcoats and the frilliest of fem
