FUEL FOR 200 YEARS

The possible fuel shortage recently
predicted by Dr. Fieldner of the
United States Bureau of Mines is
without a doubt problem that Amer
lea will have to face sooner or later.
Our natural fuel resources are dVin-
ding. Oil reserves are not the ocean"
OF which we hear so much. In fact,
our oil reserves can only be estimated.
and the number of wells pumping in
. given field and the yield of each well
is no indication of the size Of the pool
from which the wells are pumping oil.
The same is true of natural gas. But.
according to F. w. Earnest, jr, presi-
dent of Anthracite Industries, the
Pennsylvania anthracite fields still
contain sufficient unmined fuel of this
type to heat every residence in Amer
lea for at least 200 years. Further
more, this supply can be stretched and
will be stretched by virtue of new
methods of converting anthracite into
usable heat.

CHEAP MATERIALS
STUDY IS BEGUN
Bureau of Standards to
Learn Suitable Ones for
LoW-Cost Housing.

The Bureau of Standards has be-
gun work on study of the properties
and suitability of building materials
with particular reference to their use
in lowcost housing, which was made
possible through grant of Sl98, 900
from the recent Congress. A general
statement has Just been released out
lining the objectives, procedure and
scope of the program, copies of which
may be obtained from the bureau.
The program is being formulated
with the advice of representatives Of
the housing agencies of the Govern
ment. The subcommittee on de-
sign and construction Of the Central
Housing Committee has designated a
special group to cooperate with the
bureau in this work Of technical re-
search. The group consists of Harold

berlain of the Procurement Division:

Fixtures of Iu0ire de Medici
Permit Bath Color Ldtitude

"One of the most popular Of all the
colors used for bath room fixtures is
ivory, particularly that beautiful
shade called ivoire de Medici," says
H. r. Trout, nationally known interior
decorator. 1t owes its popularity
partly to its unusual adaptability, for
it can be used under many different
lighting conditions and in innumer-
able combinations with other colors,
and partly to its conservatism.
ut is interesting to learn" SAYS
Trout how this particular shade of
ivory, called ivoire de Medici. got its
name. AS the story goes, in return
for some kindness. the Sultan of Tur-
key had prepared for his friend.
Lorenzo de Medici, beautiful vase
This vase excited the admiration of
the whole Christian world, not only
because of its graceful shape. but also
because of its beautiful coloring. It
was called ivoire de Medici and TODAY
modern science and art have been able
to reproduce this mellow tint which
originated many centuries ago.
The actual color scheme for a
bath room built around ivoire de
Medici can be developed in practically
the same way as that for any other
room. Let us assume that the room
has a northern exposure, then the
walls may be of peach or apricot hue.
thereby contrasting with the ivory and
providing warmth of color necessary
to compensate for the exposure of the
room to the cold north light.
1T is well to remember that
lower wall color should never end at
the halfway line. To divide the wall
space into two exact divisions by a
difference in color proves monotonous
and harsh. 1t is much better to bring
this peach color definitely above or
below the center line. A delicate
fawn or bisque tint completes the
upper wall and ceiling. The woodwork
can be a darker or lighter shade of
peach and the floor an eggplant or
chocolate color. The design on the
hoor covering may repeat the peach
color IN some interesting pattern. the
amount OF peach used depending upon
the size and shape Of the room.
Up to this point, the color selec-
ton has been conservative: a pleasant
harmony of quiet tones With this as
a background. brilliant spots of color
may be introduced into the draperies,

BUILDING COSTS
BELOW 1926-29
Producers Council Presi-
dent Says Less Money
Buys More Today.

Building costs are still l3 per cent
below the 1869 normal. according to
Russell G. Creviston, president of Pro-
ducers' Council. as he announced today
the admission to council membership
Of seven large companies since the
June meeting
These companies include the Inter-
national Nickel Co. and the Flintkote
Co, of New York; Detroit Steel Pro-
ducts Co., of Detroit; National Rsdi-
ator Co., of Johnstown, Pa; Curtis
Companies of Clinton, Iowa; Gladding
Mclean Co, of San Francisco. and
the Richmond Screw Anchor Co. of
Brooklyn. The Producers Council is
affiliated with the American Institute
Of Architects.
$500 Equals $500
"A 1887 house costing sc. 800 offers
more to its owner than house costing
$1,000 in the l926-29 period" said
Creviston.
This is true because of land values,
interest rates. and scientific progress
In building greater utility into houses.
Land values are still at bargain
prices While they may be somewhat
higher than few years ago, they are
still far below the 1869 normal
Some major building products such
as heating and plumbing are also 10
per cent to 20 per cent lower
Interest rates through Government
cooperation and the single long term
mortgage make home planning easier
and cheaper.
More for Less.
During the last 10 years, science
has increased the utility of the modern
house about 26 per cent so that a
$500 house now is actually a better
buy than $500 house 10 years ago.
Further, through the Building Service
Plan of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board there is being made available
now real design and inspection
service in conjunction with local mem
ber banks and architects. This service
insures the person building home of
better design, soundt, construction
and therefore better investment"
Organized in 1921 at the invitation
OF the American Institute of Archi-
tects, the Producers Council consist of
over so of the country's prominent
manufacturers of building material and
equipment. Its aim is to secure and
distribute better and more reliable
information about materials used in
building work to the mutual profit of
the owner, builder and supplier.

equally as expensive.
