preparation of their first meal
aboard. Almost at once they de-
cided that the kitchenet in their
apartment ashore was palatlal
when compared with the little
.alley of the "Chinook." In an
other week they would have
learned to appreciate it as a
masterpiece of compactneSS,
without waste space and every

seemed absurdly small. and the
little gas burning galley range
seemed u mere toy.
After Melita began to get
things under control in the galley,
Kay went aft and rugged up the
folding table in the small cabin.

Kay dashed through the boat

dishes and pots in her speed.
With a final bound she was at
the wheel. whirling it hard over

Kay leaned against the wall,
heaving a great sigh of relief.

Riggs Offers
Home Loans

Robert v. Fleming, president of
the Riggs National Bank, has an
nounced the adoption by his bank
of a plan under which the institu.
ton will continue to make loans
for modernization and repair pur-
poses to responsible home owners
in amounts from 500 to $4,000,
for periods not exceeding three
years.
This is the type Of loan insured
by the Federal Housing Admins
tration, which banks were per-
mitted to make under Title Of
the national housing act. AS Title
I Of the national housing act ex-
pired on April /, Fleming stated
that, because this type Of loan has
been a great aid to home owners
in undermining and repairing their
homes, he believes there might
still be a further need for such
loans in washington and vicinity.
His bank has, therefore, adopted
a plan which will enable it to
make loans for modernization and
repair to responsible home own
ers upon furnishing the bank sat

Children s Play Space
Simple TO Design

In planning a home where there
are children, provision is usually
made for a yard or other means
for outside recreational purposes
that health-giving air and sunshine
may be assured.
For rainy days a special play
room in the basement provides for
entertainment, gymnastics and
other activities of interest to the
young people.
In considering a basement as a
possible playroom for children,
however, it must be wall-boarded
or with walls otherwise finished,
have plenty of sunshine if possible,
good ventilation and be perfectly
dry. If these health conditions
can be met, an ideal playroom
or workroom may be made. &C.
ment floors may be covered with
cork, rubber or linoleum; walls
may be finished with a plastic that
hardens like stone or covered with
wall-board: pipes can be painted
or concealed.
One end Of the room may be
fitted as gymnasium, with swings

Heater Uses
Wall Panel

An interesting method Of heat
ing used in Europe is gaining favor
and wider use in this country.
This method, known as panel heat
ing, calls for the installation OF
labyrinth piping in the walls, cell
ing, or floor Of the room, but not
exposed within the room.
The pipes are, concealed by 9
material which is good conductor
of heat and that does not absorb
radiant heat. Thus by circulating
hot water or steam through the
labyrinth pipe the surface which
contains the piping is kept near
the temperature Of the water or
steam, and this heat is radiated
to the rooms, producing an effect
similar to that experienced from
the rays Of the sun or the open
fire.
It has been rather well estab-
Iished that cold walls within q
room are one Of the common
causes of discomfort in winter,
even though the air temperature
in the same room may be ap-
proximately 10 degrees, thus panel
heating, which heats the walls
and in turn raises the air tempera-
ture within the room, has certain
advantages.

FILA Officials Praise
Orderly Building
Development

An adequate marketing plan,
closely related to every phase Of
the land-development and house.
building programs Of the devel.
oper, is a necessary part Of any
subdivision program, particularly
one involving the construction Of
numbers Of small houses, Federal
Housing Administration officials
state.
In approving subdivisions which
are Just being opened, the Federal
Housing Administration recon-
mends that developers plan the
entire subdivision and then develop
the subdivision by sections in an
orderly manner, completing the
selling of houses in one part Of
the tract before developing other
sections.
Lessons Learned
With an orderly plan Of develop.
ment, including a predetermined
marketing program, much Of the
speculative element in building is
removed, and the developer is able
to operate more efficiently and
economically. ....
Recommendations made by the
FILA are based on experience
gained by builders in Long Island,
Chicago, Washington, D. c.: Los
Angeles and other cities during
the past year. Several lessons have
been learned from observing the
relative success Of various develop.
mentS.
Sell in Advance
It has been observed, for exam.
pie, that the building program
must be related to the demand
and that a substantial number Of
houses can be sold before conStrucs
ton is started. Sales then can be
kept well ahead Of building.
Builders who have been particu.
Iarly successful have constructed
one or more model homes in the
subdivision and have sold houses
from the models. In each case they
have sold q substantial number
Of houses before starting the con.
Struction Of any Of the houses sold

cabinets to hold toys and shelves
for books will tend to promote
order. With colorful rugs, bright
curtains, sufficient light and sub
stantial furniture made to with
stand hard wear, the room acquires
an attractive appearance.
AS a protection to the older
members Of the family, the base
ment playroom should be made as
Sound-proof as possible.
In building this home, a mort
gage may be insured under the

program up to 80 per cent Of the
appraisal value Of the property.

PAINTING

Z TAGN4 GN~-
Folk who have determined to re.
touch the garage or cover the
house with a new color or freshen
the porch furniture would be wise
to forget that such-and-such q
paint seemed suitable at the last
time the operation was accom-
plished.
why2 Because the quality and
types Of paint have made such
strides in recent months that
every householder planning a re-
decorating job, no matter how
small, should make injuries until
the proper paint for the job is
found.
Today there are dozens upon
dozens of paints for dozens upon
dozens of purposes. Some are de-
signed especially for certain ma
terials, like cement or metal or
wood, while others are attuned to
the out-of-doors or interiors or
furniture.
So, don't just ask for the same
paint that seemed all right in
1882. There is a better paint to-
day, probably produced by the
same manufacturer. And don't
allow painter, if you hire one, to
tell you "such-and-such q paint is
all right. I've been using it for
years" Make him explain, and be
certain you are getting the most
for your money; which is possible
if the latest in weatherproof, scar
proof, washable, or reflective
paints is utilized.
LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT
Although this paragraph is
headed laundry equipment" it
deals not only in that type of
machinery, but also many other
types-aS well as their placement
in the home.
Many houses nowadays have the
laundry, heating and odd job"
equipment in a room on the first
floor level, rather than in base
ment.
The reasons include the fact
that modern devices along these
lines take up less space and are
more efficient than old-fashioned
equipment. Tending the fire.
which is usually automatic, odor-
less, and requiring little attention
is merely a matter Of walking
from one room to another rather
than going up and down cellar
stairs.
Similarly with laundry. From
the tubs or washer to the clothes
line in the back yard becomes a
matter of few steps instead Of
several trips from a basement.
Indirectly, the placement Of
such equipment in a first floor
room also saves money when buy
ing or building a house-because
Easements cost hard cash, as is
the rule with all excavations. A
first floor room, usually placed
off the kitchen, is less expensive
than a cellar and far handler,
cleaner and brighter.
