tip to his army Of salemen last week.
DR.. spaulding said. What would
like to get across TO our statesmen
Is that the story behind every sale is
the personal element. This is true
because life insurance is meeting the
human needs and desires. The whole
truth Of the matter is that the sale
Of life insurance involves three per-

SETS new MARK

While hammer and saw played

boom has provided new homes Of
more than 1900 families since
January l.
Up to the first Of this month
builders had paid $16,000,000 to
provide these new homes.
On vacant lots and newly-de.
veloped territory in all sections Of

eight-month period have fashioned
a total of 1921 new dwellings and
1862 new apartment buildings to
meet ever increasing demands for
new homes.
Statistics at the office Of John

homes, most Of which are Of the

Girl Tells How She'd

The sun shone through huge

haven, Md, and my first thought
was:
What fun it would be to fur.
nish that home!"
The house, a six-room cottage
type, just received one Of the 1887
architectural awards Of House and
Garden, and small wonderl It Is
so built that all Of its rooms, on
both first and second floors, are
bathed in sunlight, and anybody
walking through it must certainly
feel the urge to fit it out accord
ing to his and her own cherished
dreams.
In the living room, for instance,
you would certainly feel, as I did,
that you wanted to place the sofa
here, the lamps there and hang
the pictures thus and so. The liv-
ing room, with its cheerful looking
fireplace and two Colonial wall
lamps above it, suggests pegged
maple in the style Of the Revolu-
tionary era, small pieces in cheer.
full colorS.
Off the living room is an amaz-
ing room-the dining room, pa
pered from the center of the walls
upward in an orange leaf design
that lends itself to variety Of dec
orations. But the idea that ap.
pealed to me most strongly was a
dinette set in blond maple. fin
ished off in orange. That would
be more than striking.
And leading off from the dining
room is the kitchen-a perfect
heaven for the meticulous house
keeper. Cupboards reach from
ceiling to floor, providing q place
for everything or you or the next
one could possibly think Of for
running a house.
Green and cream would be my
choice for kitchen colors there.
And upstairs are three bed.
rooms that most definitely fire the
decorative imagination. The wall
paper in each is Of delicate color
pink, blue and green.
If you would like to see how you
would furnish this new home, just
drive to 1907 Baltimore Ave.. West

Avenue about one-haR mile be-
yond the District line. The house
is available through the WeSthaven
Development Company.
