HOME RENOVATION
SUGGESTED
Modernization of Bath Room
important in improving

BY ROGER b, WHITMAN,

Bath rooms have been so greatly
improved within the last few years
that one Of old style makes a whole
house seem old fashioned. The points
that make q bath room out of date
are bathtub on legs, high-tank
toilet. q washbasin with q marble top
or of old-fashioned design. plaster
walls and q wood floor. The door
of bath room Of that kind Is usually
kept closed at all times, whereas a
room Of modern design Is something
to be proud Of.
There Is no great effort or expense
in renovating an old bath room and
in giving it all of the beauty of mod
ern design. A new toilet and wash
basin can be substituted for the old
ones. The bath tub Is built in in a
corner, which completely obviates the
collecting Of dust beneath and behind
it. A built-in tub also permits the
hitting of q wall shower, with the
use of a curtain to confine the spray
A separate shower stall Is preferred
to wall shower and can often be

tiles or other waterproof covering.
When this Is done the wall surface

tub rather than behind the rim.

Many substitutes for tiles are to be

HELD BUSINESS AID.
F. H. A. Section Chief Says
Conferences Are Proving
Facts to Industry.

The construction Of large number
of home units on a small-prof1t-per-
unit basis provides the opportunity for
a business upturn, according to Stew
ard H. Mott, chief Of the and-plan-
ming section Of the Federal Housing
Administration.
Subdivision conferences are being
held throughout the United States in
an effort to prove this point to the
building industry. The salvaging of
areas potentially desirable for the de-
velopment of low-priced home COM
munities. but at present unsuitable,
is direct result of these conferences,
Mr.. Mott says.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton has planned these conferences to
appeal to selected groups of builders.
financial men, material dealers. and
others who are capable of quantity
production of low-priced homes. An
other purpose of the meetings is to
convince these groups that the con-
struction of homes in a price range
under $4,000 can be effected under
present conditions in the industry
with reasonable profit.
The importance of properly locating
these homes Is stressed at the meet
ings. In the past. Mr. Mott says, low
priced homes have not been considered
good investments because they were
as rule, not located properly. Only
subdivisions for high-priced homes
were properly plotted and protected

the investor today who utilized good
land-planning principles in the de-
velopment of low-priced sites.

Nary Ariaticn Expedition Is On Way North; ;Carrier Ranger
 and 2 Destroyers Are Coming

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 13.- Development of wartime flying doc trines for complete opposites of cli- matic and weather conditions will be the missions of two Navy Aviation expeditions leaving San Diego this week.
 Today, the Navy's new aircraft carrier Ranger, in command of Capt Arthur Bristol, will sail for the Aleutian area, Alaska, and conduct epochal cold weather flight opera tionS.
 On Thursday, Rear Admiral Fred erick J. Horne will take base force and patrol tender and leave him. self aboard the flagship Wright for Panama from where he will direct a massed flight next month of 3f giant trans-oceanic flying boats on advance base" circumnavigation of the Caribbean Sea.
 The Ranger Expedition will mark the first time that an American air craft carrier and her planes have ever operated under sub-Arctic con- ditions. From the lessons learned thereby, the Navy hopes to lay the foundations for definite cold weather flight operating doctrines, including surmounting of such obstacles as starting motors at low temperatures, formation of ice on the wings navigation in thick weather peculiar to the Aleutians, and comfort of the flight personnel.
 The Ranger will be accompanied by the destroyers Lea and Roper.
 The expedition is scheduled to stou at the Puget Sound Navy Yard on Friday for extra stores and equip- ment and then sail the following day for the Gulf of Alaska.
 The expedition is scheduled to re- turn to San Diego about February 21.

POUNDED TO PIECES

ASTORIA, Ore, Jan. Is. - The freighter Iowa, of the States Steam ship Company, smashed to pieces on the sands of Peacock Spit in a southeast hurricane Sunday morn ing.
 Commander R. Stanley Patch, of the Coast Guard cutter Onondago, said 1t seemed conclusive that every member of the Iowas crew of 34 has been drowned. A number of bodies were washed ashore soon after the freighter smashed.
 Hits Terrific Seas
 The Iowa was outbound from the Columbia River for the east coast, carrying general cargo, when she hit terrific seas about am. Sunday and was swept ashore. Her wireless faded even as the distress signal was being sent, and only the top mast remained visible as darkness fell over the scene.
 The Iowa was under command of Capt. Edgar L. Yates, veteran skip per of the States line. although this was his first trip on the Iowa.
 Guarder Is Beaten
 So high were the seas, the Coast Guard Cutters life boats could ap- proach no nearer than one mile. The Onondaga herself took bitter beating in the storm. One of her small boats was crushed and con- siderable gear swept away. It is doubtful if she could have saved any lives had the guarder been able to approach, however, as the only life seen aboard were three men clinging to the rigging at dawn, and these were soon washed away by the ter rife seas.

 DECIDED UPON
New Bill, Retaining All Valid Provisions, Un-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-A farm program, centered upon government subsidizing of soil conservation, has been approved unanimously by farm leaders called in counsel with the Administration on a substitute for AAA.
 Authoritative sources said the bill. secretly drafted two days ago in New Deal quarters, will quickly be revised to embody the legislative recommendations of 100 spokesmen for the nations major farm organi- cations.
 In addition to soil conservation. the farm group called for retention of the valid" provisions of the ad- justment act whose processing taxes and benefit payments were outlawed last Monday by the Supreme Court.
 Further expansion in foreign mar kets with surplus crops and new taxes on processor's livestock and dairy products were urged.

Supreme Court Rules Two Hundred Million Must Be

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.- T h e Supreme Court today ruled that two hundred million dollars in process ing taxes under AAA, lmpounded by the courts, must be returned to the taxpayers. It refused to pass on the validity of the Bankhead cotton act at this time and adjourned without ruling on the constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley Authority act.
 The tax decision did not go into whether the processors had to prove they had not passed the tax on to consumers before they could recover. This was the main point at issue. The decision was unanimous by the nine justices.
 Review of the Bankhead act is an- ticipated later as another case in- volving this law has been filed by Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia and will give the court another op- portunity to rule on it.

FORMER MAYOR
 NEW YORK CITY
 DIES ON SUNDAY
John F. Hylan Passes Away as Result of Attack
 of Heart

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Formel Mayor John F. Hylan died of heart trouble at his home in Forest Hills early Sunday at the age of 67. He was Justice of the Children's Court at the time of his death.
 During eight years that he was Mayor of New York, John F. Hylan became best known perhaps as champion of the five-cent fare on the city's street railways and sub way systems.
 He used that as an issue in an effort to gain third term in 1925, but was defeated in the Democratic primaries by James J. Walker, then a State Senator, and at the con- clusion of his second term resumed the practice of law.
 First elected Mayor in 1917, MT Hylan during his first term-in the stress of war excitement-success- fully fought every attempt to in- crease the car fare. That was one of the principal issues of his sec- ond campaign and, because of the militant stand he took, he was re- elected by a plurality unprecedented in city election up to that time.
 Elected, Bitter Campaign
 When he first ran for Mayor MT. Hylan was opposed by the late John Purroy Mitchell, Democrat who four years previously had beer successful on fusion ticket and was seeking reelection. It was one of the bitterest campaigns on rec ord, but MT Hylan won by a sub- stantial majority. His term wa. marked by many violent controver- sies, chiefly due to his stand on the car fare issue. The Mayor insisted that certain interests were con. stantly striving to increase the far. in violation of the terms of con tracts between the city and tn operating companies.
 Finally, a legislative committe was appointed to investigate his ad ministration. The committee hel many sessions over a long perio and while it made certain recon | ------------------------
