"The creation of desirable resi-
Dental communities has @ much
greater significance than simply the
providing Of decent home Site" said
Mr.. Mott Growth and character
of our cities Is absolutely controlled
by the manner in which subdivisions
are developed. A badly planned street
layout or the lack Of control Of land
use in q single subdivision can create
traffic and social problems that
throttle q whole section Of q city
with losses of millions Of dollars to
home owners and investors.
1T is because Of the tremendous
effect that subdivision development
has on real estate values that the
Federal Housing Administration in
sures no loans in new or partially
developed subdivisions until they have
been reviewed and approved"
Subjects that will be discussed at
the subdivision conferences include
topography, soil, drainage, transporta-
ton, sewers and water, lot shapes,
parks and Fairgrounds, street patterns.
shopping and community centers, and
other important factors attending
such developments.
Complete Model Subdivision.
The Housing Administration has
just completed a model subdivision
in miniature which will be displayed
at the subdivision conferences.
There are 81 homes In the group,
but only four house designs are used.
There is no appearance Of standardized
design, however. Variety Is obtained
through slight architectural changes,
choice Of color and material, and the
manner in which the house Is placed
on the lot. The houses used in this
display are from the designs Of low

F. /. A. ARRANGES
BUILDING PARLEYS
Designed to Acquaint Units
Concerned With Latest
Developments.

In order to acquaint bankers, opera
tive builders, and others directly or in
directly affiliated with the construc-
ton industry with the latest develop
ments in low-priced home subdivision
building, q series Of conferences have
been arranged in large population
centers by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration.
These subdivision conferences will
be conducted by Seward H. Mott, chief
of the land-planning section of the
Housing Administration, who will out
line the needs and requirements of
such projects. 1t will be the purpose
of the program to show the need of
decent and attractive sites for modest
dwellings and to give practical sugges-
tions as to how they may be profitably
created. Mr.. Mott will utilize model
low-priced home subdivision in his
talks to builders and others.
The first conference was held late
in July in Detroit. Other confer
ences have been scheduled for sue

COST OF HOUSES
CUT $500 IN EAST
Brings Homes Within Reach
of Approximately 1000, 900
More, Official Says.

A drop of more than $500 since
early this year in the cost of the
average house erected for owner oc-
cupancy east of the Rocky Noun
tains has brought the possibility Of
new homes within the reach of ap-
proximately a million additional peo-
pie, according to P. A. Andrews,
vice president in charge of building
materials of the Johns -Manville
Corp. Further reductions will make
new housing available to even more
prospective home owners, he de-
clared
THE average house erected for
owner occupancy, east of the Rockies,
this year cost $6,959 in January"
Andrews stated. THE price rose to
q peak of $7,275 a few weeks later
and then dropped to $6,737 in May.
If this drop continues it will be very
important. 1t will show that not
only the relatively well-to-do, but also
people of smaller means are coming
into the home building market. In
other words, if the COST figure drops
steadily the market for homes will
be greatly extended. Our statistical
department has estimated that every
time $500 is cut from the price of a
small house, million more people can
afford to buy it."
Andrews pointed out that the low
cred cost per average home might
be caused by several factors, such as
smaller-sized houses, lower-coSt ma
terials, or because of more efficient
selection and use of materials and
labor.
The building materials expert also
supported the belief of other i'm
portant construction industry and
financial observers that a house Is a
sound investment and that now is
the time to build by pointing to
further figures. He declared that
while the cost of erecting single
family house with wood frame had
risen Al per cent since last year,
1t is still 1874 per cent below the
1926-1929 average.
This means that house which
cost $4,000 now would have cost
about $5,775 in 1929" he stated.
Furthermore, because of greatly i'm
proved building materials now in use,
this years house, while costing less
can be vastly superior product. The
home buyer of today IS definitely get
ting more for his money"

HOME SHORTAGE HELD
PROBLEM FOR INDUSTRY
Housing Situation Viewed as
Added Complication to Labor
Set-up in Many Cities.

Unless industry and other business
interests cooperate to remedy the
serious housing shortage confronting
industrial communities throughout
the United States industrial relations
problems will be further complicated
and the improvement of general busi-
mes unnecessarily delayed, George T.
Trundle, jr, president of the Trundle
Engineering Co, Cleveland, said re-
Gently.
"Industrialits all over the country
are talking about the shortage OF
trained workers" Mr. Trundle said.
But the housing situation is just as
serious as the labor situation. The
trouble today is not merely one OF
finding men-it is one Of housing
them as we'll In many cities the
housing situation is acute.
Since 1880, when We had an esti-
mated surplus of 100000 dwelling
units in this country, residential con-
struction has Jagged along until at
the start of this year surveys showed
an estimated deficit of 100000
dwellings"

Housing Administration's technical
bulletin No. 4.
It is the intention Of the Housing
Administration to show, through this
exhibit Of miniatures, the results
possible when an entire subdivision is
planned around the low-priced home.
The streets are laid out in an unusual
fashion, another feature which avoids

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Gladioli are among the best of
garden flowers for home decora-
ton. but when they are cut much
of the foliage should be left, for
otherwise the bulbs will not ripen
properly. One or two blades may
be included and it is best to sever
the spike with sharp knife, max
ing slanting cut. If the stems
are cut squarely across and rest
on the bottom of the flower re-
ceptacle, they are practically seal
ed and water cannot enter them.
Then, naturally, the flowers will
soon fade. A slanting cut will
remedy this.

Way to Obtain Ivory Finish.

The way to obtain an old ivory
finish for woodwork or furniture is
to tint light ivory paint with raw
sienna and burned umber. Apply a
glaze coat of raw sienna mixed with
burned umber after that and then
wipe lightly.
