Materials and Equipment
For the Home

'leaky roof or wanting to build q
house with the propert type of
roof for its architecture, climate
and location has a wide choice
from which to choose. Usually
the problem is solved by an archi-
tect, who is expected to know the
latest and best in building mate
rails, but caution should be exer-
cised when an architect is not
consulted.
Placing a new roof on an old
house is a more dangerous pro-
ceeding than might be thought,
especially if the new covering is
different from the old. To replace
shingles with a pretty slate may
seem a practical proceeding-until
it caves in because the joistS and
rafterS are not strong enough to
hold the slate.

WALL COVERINGS

Many and legion are the varie-
ties Of wall materials available to.
day-in fact, the prospective home
owner or one who desires to re-
model would do well to look into
the situation.
Why? Because something that
is lust right" for the dining room
or the recreation room or the chill
dren'S bedroom may be discovered.
And that is better than a hit-or-
miss method of choosing new
walls.
Among other materials on the
market are wood, composition,
glass and naturally the old favor
lite, wall paper. The latter should
be carefully selected, because mod
ern trends differ from the decora-
ton in the days when big roses
and dingy trees were used in wall
pepper design.
The Federal Housing Admins
tration points out that the style
of pictures to be used on a wall
should govern the choice of wall
paper. A design with large fig
ures is proper only when there
are to be few pictures, and a plain
design when many pictures are to
be hung.
Other wall materials-and a
visit to a good building supply
house will give anybody plenty of
ideas-include smooth and rough
plaster, linoleum, colored glass
and boards easily put in place.
Consideration should be given to
such factors as the ease with
which the paper can be cleaned,
fireproofing and, Of course, the
price.
ROOFING
What has been said of wall cover
ingS-that there are hundreds Of
varietieS-is also true of roofing.
Roofs for this and roofs for that
are legion; some are designed
merely for longevity or special du-
ties while others combine these
functions with beauty.

Acts Urged
LEGISLATION in States
Backed by Realty
Association

A suggested State Neighborhood
Improvement Act, an enabling
statute through which property
owners of a neighborhood might
act together effectively to improve
the character of the neighborhood
or to protect it from undesirable
change, has been prepared by the
National Association Of Real ES-
tate Boards and has just been
placed in the hands OF member
boards over the country for study
and action.
The proposed act, the draftink
Of which follows study and confer
ences carried on for more than two
years, has been prepared as an aid
in one Of the most difficult prob
lens Of preSent-day city growth
and land use, that Of stopping
"blight," especially in home areas,
and of bringing blighted areas
into better use, It would give a
means through which residential
neighborhoods that now lack any
protection to insure their continu-
ance as home neighborhoodS may
gain for themselves such protec-
ton.
A bill embodying the plan has
already been introduced in the
Missouri legislature. In a number
Of other states similar action Is
under discussion.
Population Decreases
AS to the twilight zones" arts
ing in practically every American
city, regions run down or threat
ened with deterioration, Paul e.
Strak, Madison, Wis, president OF
the association, cites one Of the
country's 10 largest cities as typi-
cal enough.
In this city a study made few
years ago showed that sections
where population was declining
made up 10 per cent Of the city'S
area. But a recent study shows
that now these regions constitute
Is per cent of the whole urban
area. Stark said:
''The theory Of the suggested
act is that if you give . small
neighbOrhOOd community such
limits that it can define itself
and identity itself IS . neighbOr-
hood, you thereby set up . pow
erful aid to its protection against
change of character and to its
improvement"
SYNOPSIS GIVEN
Principal provisions Of the Sug-
geSted act are these:

Govind saying go quick! Take him away!
OAK bungalow
The owner of the face fed back into the
crowd. The Guru glanced at Marquise. He
made gesture with his right arm. She stopped,
put her hand on Goddard s shoulders: Please!
If they should kill you - we must get away
from here! The Guru -
In split second he was up on his ,ninjured
foot. Damn his impudenoe! He's using your
car as a pulpit! III teach him manners Lend
me hand, will you? Don't be afraid
He put possessive right arm on Marquise's
shoulder and limped beside her. The Guru
saw them coming. He got out of Marquise's
car and by the sheer magic of his oonoen-
trated purpose, like queen bee with swarm
around her. led the crowd away.
He knows enough to run," said Goddard.
Give him that much credit"
Marquise clung to silence, clung to it as
grimly as she steeled herself against the thrill
of Goddard's right hand on her shoulder. It
stirred her valance. If he intended to thrill
her. he little guessed the strength of the re-
bellion he stirred in her. But she had to govern
that, manage him, get him away.
Luck favored her, though it was nigga1dy,
graceless luck. The hot wind picked up a cur
tain of dust; the sunset turned it into brazen
mbreathable grit. No one could see through
it. Then Goddard's pride aided. He wouldn't
be helped into the car. He used his prodigious
strength and vaulted in, striking his injured
foot against the gear shift. The pain was too
much even for him. He nearly tainted. Mar
quise jumped to the wheel and started the
motor, almost too quickly for her Indian
servant, who had crawled under the car to
hide. He jumped into the rumble

had to say something: Does your foot hurt

them and get my gun and ammunition. Did

II heard you. can see in the mirror. Look.
Flame! In the glare of the brass pale setting
sun, it leaped amid blue gray smoke 80 hot
dust and whirled it to orange and crimson.
Goddard laughed: Five hundred rounds of
twelve bore cartridges! Dammit, that's
good gun. Cost hundred guineas."
1t happened suddenly, like the explosion of
shrapnel. Petrol and smokeless powder. Doz-
ems of explosions. The car leaped up in shape
less fragments. The crowd scattered, blasted
in four directions. Dust swallowed them.
Goddard was almost blinded by dust:
"All right, Blue Eyes. Go ahead. Go where
you like Your Guru has gone to Heaven like
Elijah in chariot of fire. Well, it saves having
to hang him."
But Marquise could see the Curu, in the
mirror. He was still talking to the crowd.
Goddard grinned. I'm bet that Guru or
dered them to burn my car. 1t belongs to
Murgomdass He'll start lawsuit that will
keep those villagers in debt to the money
lender for the rest of their lives. Serve 'em
right. Where are you heading for?"
