Clay Products Institute Of
ficiaI Finds Many Go to
New Homes.

As Fall residential moving swings
into full flow indications point to a
material decrease in the tenant fam
lily group, with thousands in that
class becoming home owners for the
frst time. This prediction is based
on the spending flow that has mani
fest itself during the Summer months,
thus guaranteeing the Fall compile
ton of new homes contracted for, in
the process of sale or definitely sold
Harry c. Plummer, chief engineer
Of the Structural Clay Products In
stitute of Washington explained the
expansion of the trend Of the tenant
group to home ownership as follows:
Prom extensive trips throughout
the country during the Summer and
after check-ups with brick and struc-
tural tile manufacturers, it is discov-
cred that the percentage of their
product now headed toward residen-
tial construction is averaging 40 per
cent. In some cases 1t runs as high
as so.
Brick Being Used.
Much OF this product is going into
smsll-cost houses, now in increasing
demand In brick. Builders and buyers
are discovering at last that they cam
not get building unit better than
brick, unless they use granite, which
is certainly not within the price range
Of modern home seekers.
THE Architects Small House Serv-
ice Bureau of the American Institute
Evening star., 1937-09-11

Of Architects asked for contractors
bids on different types of walls for the
same house plan. They found that
solid brick wall would cost just s112
more than an-frame construction.
That figure represented less than 2
per cent of the total cost OF the home.
"A home that would cost s4,238 in
wood can be built of brick veneer
lover wood frame) for s4,460. OF brick
on hollow tile for s4.483 and of solid
brick for s4,555.
Save on Insurance
Fire insurance, house contents in
surance, depreciation and painting
bills over 1o-year period will cost
$635.92 on solid brick or brick and
tile dwelling, $1.165.56 on a home OF
brick veneer. s2.ll150 on an all
frame structure. These figures as
sumo that the fire insurance policy
on the dwelling is for $4,000 and the
home contents policy for s2,5oO. The
dwelling fire insurance on frame is
twice than on brick: the average
rate on home contents housed In a
solid brick structure is s038, in
frame structure so62 per 500. Four
leading insurance companies COM
puted these rate averages for the
United States.
Therefore, II you take building
logic and economic sense and add
them together you get brick for the
small-cost house The 10-year main
tenance expense on a frame house
is 244 per cent greater than on one
of brick"

of new family housing Accommodations
in these cities we're in apartments.
In all other cities more dwelling units
were provided in the single type of
dwelling than in apartment houses.
Even in the IA largest cities, there
was considerable variation in the
types of dwellings constructed.
Difference in Types.
In New York City, by far the
larger number of dwelling units pro-
vided were IN apartment houses.
Washington also provided a sizable
proportion of dwelling units in that
type of structure. In Baltimore and
Philadelphia. on the other hand. where
the one-family dwelling is the most
popular type of abode, permits were
issued for very few apartments.
There is considerable difference in
the type of housing provided in the

per cent of all dwelling units provided
we're in one-family dwellings. In

W0ODMOOR HOMES
NOW BEING BUILT
IL Moderately Priced Dwell
ings Completed in New
Subdivision.

A new development of moderately
priced homes known as Woodmoor.
located on the Colesville pike at
Four Corners, Nd, was announced
today by the Moss Realty Co
Twelve houses already have been
completed in the new subdivision.
and the builders announced that
eight of these have been sold. In
addition, IL others are under con-
struction. Ultimately, it is planned
to erect 500 homes in the develop
ment. One of the completed houses
io7 Pierce drive, has been furnished
by w. & j. Sloane.
Shopping Center Planned.
The sponsors stated that a shopping
center will be built on their property
adjacent to Woodmoor, which has
been the center Of great home build
ing activity in recent months.
Houses in the new development are
designed by the architectural firm of
Schreier & Patterson, who have re-
ceived widespread attention for their
work in the field of moderately priced
dwellings. The entire community is
planned and this work was under
supervision of Irving c. Root, chief
engineer Of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion.
Area Heavily Wooded.
The subdivision comprises 10 acres
of heavily wooded land in the North
Hills section, 300 feet above the city.
1t is near Sligo Park, Northwest
Branch parkway, and is within easy
reach of both the Indian Spring
Golf Club and the Argyle Club. With
in the property owned by the Moss
Co. is the original Indian Spring.
from which the club derived its
name.
1t is planned to build only three
houses to each acre in the develop
n1ent, and each lot will have
frontage of at least 70 feet. Con-
struction is of the highest type and
the equipment, including hot-water
heating systems, will be of latest
design. Financing under the Federal
Housing Administration plan will be
available on all of the houses, the
sponsors announced.
The Moss company has imposed a
list of high restrictions on the sub
division.

Place for Galoshes.

A shelf across the back of the coat
closet Just above the Dashboard is
convenient place for the rubbers and
galoshes that usually clutter up the
floor. The shelf should slope to the
wall and be set about an inch or an
inch and half from the wall so that
dirt and mud can drop through to the
floor where it can be cleaned up more
easily.

nearly 56 per cent of the family dwell
ing units we're provided in the single
family dwellings
There were 24,829 dwelling units in
the urban areas of New York State
during the first half Of 1887. Accord
ing to reports of permits issued, nearly
20,700 of these were in New York
City. California provided more than
$4,000 new family dwelling units. Of
these, $500 were in Los Angles and
1880 in San Francisco. Other States
providing more than 5000 dwelling
units were Texas with 7,17S, Michigan
with 6,2l5 and Pennsylvania with

plains to the gold fields. Anderson and
the StuartS were associated for many
years in various enterprises.
Granville, when the mining returns
were small, made money hunting big
game and selling the meat. The elder
Stuart returned east in 1853, going
again by way of the Nicaragua, New
Orleans and up the Mississippi river.
James and Granville Stuart and An
derson remained in California until
the spring of 1857, when they started
for the east across the plains Held up
at Salt Lake City for a time by i'll
ness and later by trail trouble, they
came to Montana to spend the winter
trapping. And it was in that year that
Granville discovered placer gold in
paying quantities in Gold creek.
They remained permanently in the

F GRANVILLE STUART's brother
Tanes had not insisted on spend
ing a whole Sunday in washing
and mending his shirt in Cali
fOrnia mining camp in 1883, Gran
vile Stuart might not have discovered
gold in Montana in 1857. The two
brothers, with a third man, were pros
pecting in California in the summer OF
1853 and one day ran onto grOuno
which they thought would be goOo
placer diggings. They went home that
night. several miles, however, without
posting their location notices, intend
ing TO return the next day.
The next day was Sunday, and IN the
morning James Stuart and the thlrd
man announced their intention OF
washing and mending their shirts ana
they did so despite the protestations. OF
Granville Stuart, who says, IN MS
memoirs Forty Years on the From
tier" that he did his best to get them
to go with him to attend TO the matter
Of location notices.
Laughed At His Warnings
At his warning that someone else
might get the ground, they laughed.
But on Monday, when they did go, they
found another party in possession OF
the ground they had intended to locate,
and with location notices posted. And
it proved to be rich ground. In just
few weeks the locatorS took out SOS, 600.
So the Stuart boys had to look farther
They never did strike it rich In Cali
fornia, and it was because Of that they
started east in the spring Of 1857, got
switched off IN Utah and wound up IN
Montana for the winter owing to
trouble between MormonS and United
States troops which they feared would
make travel east from Salt Lake City
both uncertain and unpleasant.
Had James Stuart not insisted on
washing his shirt that day and instead

FIND NEW POISON
FOR INSECT PESTS

OF interest to farmers is the an
nouncement Of discovery that EPSON
salts, common and cheap drug, is
an effective poison for grasshoppers
and other insect pests It is also eff
fective as a spray for gardens and
orchards, scientists say. According to
the magazine, Science" experimenters
at the University Of Oklahoma have
found an effective poison for hoppers
consisting of go to IS percent bran,
20 to IS percent EPSON salts and Is
percent molasSes mixed with enough
water to moisten it. The EPSON salt
bait is described as being cheaper than
the customary arsenic mixture and has
the added virtue of being harmless
to livestock, poultry and wild birds.
Should this bait work out as predicted
1t would take away the fear of poison
ing stock and game birds that is now
held from the arsenic spray and would
permit the poisoning of fields at any
and all times, besides being cheaper
than the old method.

region that is now Montana and Gran
vile lived to see the state fill with
people and to see its hills yield riches
beyond his widest imagination and its
plains and valleys developed into stock
raising and agricultural territories.
During the time the Vigilantes were
cleaning out the road agents who had
murdered and robbed along the trails,
there was an outlaw hanged by the
minions of the law named Red Jaeger
with whom James and Granville Stuart
had gone to school In Iowa In 1912
in the Red Cedar river country
Before Jaeger was hanged he con-
feSSed to his crimes and gave the names
of many other road agents, which as
sisted the Vigilantes in wiping out
most of the outlaws within the follow
ing weeks.

The dog ate ravenously and then went
back to the grave near which it had
previously been lying.
In the morning when the wagons
started, Granville called to the dog. 1t
followed them few steps and then
turned back to the graves and began
bowling. The wagons halted, the men
being interested in seeing what the dog
would do 1t quit bowling, turned from
the graves and started following the
Stuart wagons.
Granville says in his memoirs that
1t became evident within a few min
uteS that the animal was so weak from
starvation that it would never be able
to keep up with them at the pace they
were travelling, so he took it on the
foOtboard Of the wagon upon which he
was riding and carried it all the way
to California. This episode occurred on
the plains of what is now Nebraska.
When the party arrived in Salt Lake
City, the horses were in need Of rest
so they remained there a month. Dur
ing that time Granville lived at the
home Of John Taylor, one of the IL
apostles OF the Mormon church, who
later succeeded Brigham Young as its
head. He said that it was an excellent
place to stay, the wife of the church.
man being an excellent cook and house,
keeper, but that the bedbugs were so
bad that the entire household had to
quit the house at night and sleep in
the yard, greatly to the humiliation of
Mrs. Taylor.
Granville one day pulled the bark off
a fir pole in the vicinity and found in
Vulnerable bedbugs beneath it and upon
further investigation, said he discovered
that the entire valley was alive with
them.
Leaving Salt Lake City the Stuarts
crossed the Sierra Nevada mountains
by way Of Beckwoluth pass, and found
living there Jim Beckwourth, noted
frontiersman who discovered it. Beck
wourth, hospitable and generous. kept
supplying the many emigrants who
came through nearly destitute with
what provisions he could spare, giving
provisions to many on their promise
70 pay-which some Of them never did.
AS result Beckwourth became so Inn
poVerlshed that he returned to the Crow

Indian tribe In southern Montana, into
which he had been adopted.
When the Stuarts crossed the Hum
boldt river they we're told to take the
road to American valley as being much
the shorter and better route to Sacra-
mento. Reaching the American valley
they discovered that it was the end
of the wagon trail in that direction AS
result they were forced to sell their
vehicles there at $25 each, and their
harness and horses for 81 900. Had they
been able to get them to Sacramento
they could have secured much more.
After disposing of their equipment,
they outfitted for pack trip for the
rest of the way. They reached Sam
Meals hotel Sept. 6, 1852.
James and Granville Immediately
started prospecting on Little Butte
creek. Although the young men were
pioneers in every sense OF the word, the
mining camp life was entirely new to
them. They had been born and reared
in country inhabited by church-go-
ing and God-fearing people. One
preacher in particular named Briar,
had scared the daylights out of them
as small boys in their Iowa home by
preaching he'll fire and damnatjon as
the end Of all sin. Brother Briar" ne
was called
Granville was astonished one night
when, entering a gambling hail. he dis
covered that the dealer at one of the
faro tables was Brother Briar." the
preacher who had so impressed him
IN his boyhood. Those who knew Gran
vile Stuart know, however, that re-
gardleSS of his establishment at dis
covering the pulpiteer at the faro bank.
it had not the slightest effect upon
the high character which he carried
with him through life, come good luck
or misfortune.
The Stuart boys had no great luck
at prospecting In California. Gran
vile relates that he one day found a
16-ounce nugget, but inasmuch as he
shortly afterward took employment
with Sam Neal herding oxen which
we're being used in hauling timber 20
a sawmill, the ground that produced
the 16-ounce nugget probably produced
very little more.
In 1858 the Stuart boys met and be-
came fast friends with Rein Anderson.
