warnings about the dire effects OF

such things as seeing that the build

at least 10 degrees when the flooring
is stacked in it, and that the windows
are opened very slightly from the top

When flooring goes together too

HOUSE FURNISHING
OCCUPIES STORES
Displays Inspired by 1887
"Idea" Dwelling Spon-
sored by Magazine.

Department and furniture stores
throughout the country have sur
passed each other in the beauty and
effectiveness of home furnishing dis
plays inspired by House and Gardens
Ideal house." 1887, featured in the
current issue of the magazine.
House and Garden built and COM
pletely furnished it's first Ideal house"
at Scarsdale, N. Y, in 1896. It was
conceived to combine the require
ments of an architect, an engineer, a
decorator, child-guidance expert and
dletlclan-in short, to satisfy every
potential practical need of an average
medium sized American family of
comfortable income.
Because the public displayed such
gratifying interest in the 1886 house,
this year the magazine has repeated
the project on larger and more far
reaching scale. There will be no
single building in any one community,
with the bulk of visitors necessarily
restricted to neighborhood people. In
stead, architects and designers COL
laborating from the outset, have fol-
lowed the most advanced practices in
home construction and decoration and
have presented the completed Ideal
House OF 1887 to the public through
the pages of the magazine.
Stores from coast to coast were
quick to see the merchandising posi-
bllltles in cooperating with House and
Garden IN its presentation of the
Ideal house" Some stores have
brought to reality for their clientele
their versions of actual rooms, repro
duced IN home furnishings depart
ments; others have arranged depart
mental exhibits of fabrics, paint, fur
nlture, draperies, floor coverings and
other merchandise used in the general
scheme Of decoration. The best of
the room reproductions, photographs
OF which will be submitted to the
editors of House and Garden. will be
reproduced in later issues of the mapa-
zine.
In developing plans for the ideal
house" House and Garden investigated
every reputable source in the country
for furniture, home furnishings and
the numberless riches that modern re-
search and science have made avail
able to home builders. The furnish
1ngs depicted in the April issue are
generic in type. But in their visit to
the furniture markets the editors Sc
lected from the offerings of manufac-
turers furnishings that could be used
to carry out these generic schemes.
Ideal house" selections, tagged for
easy Identification, are available in
stores in all parts of the country.
In the construction of the house
Itself House and Garden did not over
look a detail that might make for
healthier, happier and less compli-
Gated living. And, most important, the
house was so flexibly designed that
builders and decorators can readily
adapt it to climatic conditions in their
own localities and to the tastes and
modes of living of their individual
clients.
One house is already nearing COM
pletion in Fox Meadows, N Y. 1t is
being built by the firm of McSweeney
g. Mexican, with interior decoration
planned and installed by r. H. Macy
e. Co., New York. This house, it is
predicted. will be forerunner of many
similar constructions, built under the
auspices of department stores in var1-
Gus parts of the country.

Haynes to Celebrate :.
18th Birthday With
GalentO Fight

Philadelphia, Nov. 18 (ANP)-
Leroy Haynes, Philadelphia heavy
weight, hopes to celebrate on
Thursdaynight, November 18th, his
Goth birthday by sending Tony
Gafento, North Jersey slugger, out
of the ring by the knockout route,
when he meets him on that night
at Convention hall in Philadelphia.
Haynes, who entered the ring
last year on his birthday and
knocked out Abe Feldman, a tricky
New Yorker, in the second round
at Mike Jacobs hippodrome, feels
that Lady Luck will be standing at
his shoulder on Thursday night.
This plucky glove expert was
born in South Bend Ind, and in
that city he received his high
school education. He had the bene-
fit of the late Knute Rockne's ad-
vice early in life, when as a lad
he visited the Notre Dame campus
and listened to the great coach's
advice to young and ambitious
athletes.
After moving to Los Angeles,
Haynes began to box in Amateur
ranks and finally stepped into pro
ranks. He won many fights before
he headed East and sky rocketed
to prominence in Philadelphia, his
adopted home.
Under the management of Pete
Moran, Haynes has supplied thrills
for the ringsiders with his ability
to swap blows with anybody and
everybody. His record is packed
with knockout scores and he has
successfully overcome all setbacks.
He is rated as one of the most
dangerous gloveslingers in the
heavy ranks today, although Lo-
reno Pack took him over the hur-
dies last month. It is because of
the latter's victory in his last bout
that Haynes must put Galento
out of the running. Galenta gave
Pack a shellacking in his last bout
in this city.

Rockefeller Sells
Dunbar Apartments

New York, Nov. IL (By Albert
G. Barnett for ANP)-Harlem re
sidents heard with regret this week
tho long anticipated news of the
failure of the Cooperative Paul
Lawrence Dunbar Apartments at
10th street and Seventh avenue,
erected in 1928 by John d. Rookie
Teller, jr., at an estimated cost of
SO, $4,000
1t was reported Tuesday that
the apartments had been sold by
Mr.. Rockefeller to the 800 East
73rd Street Corporation. headed by
E. Crawford Struckless, the report
ed consideration being 100000.
In the transfer, it was reported,
Mrs. Rockefeller took back a pur-
chase money mortgage of $350,00O
which in turn was subject to a first
mortgage of $4,000, both given to
the New York Savings Bank and
payable according to the bond"
Tenant Owners Repaid Equities
Harlemites particularly regret
tho transfer of the Dunbar because
it represented the biggest effort at
cooperative apartment buying ever
started in the country and its de
velopment was being watched with
eagerness by colored people all
over the nation. To the credit of
Mr.. Rockefeller it must be record
ed that not a single tenant owner
lost a penny, as he refunded to
them in cash $4,000 they had
paid into the equity fund, which
was created to purcase the build
ings when the accumulated reserve
was sufficient to negotiate it. Some
of the long term tenants received
