Perfectly built" is the slogan
adopted by Phillips and Candy,
Inc. to describe new detached
home the firm is offering at 1913
Easley St., Silver Spring, Md.
Constructed entirely of brick
the residence is modelled on the
simple but beautiful lines of old
Cape Cod homes. The principal
inducement to prospective buyers,
however, is the reduced price of
$3.50.
The dwelling contains on its
first floor living room with fire
place, dinette, sun porch and a
modern kitchen. On the second
floo- are two very large bedrooms
and a bath. Included also are d
two-car garage and a basement

Glass Blocks
Form Window

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 13.
Something new, in basement win
dows was invented by a local
resident when he desired 20 pro-
vide enough daylight in his eel
lar to make a recreation room
practicable.
At low cost, he had a large
hole made in the basement wall
and glass blocks inserted. The
novel window not only permitted
sufficient light to enter, but also
assured privacy for occupants of
the recreation room because Of
the translucency of the glass.
Manufacturers of the glass
claim it retardS the flow of heat,
thereby assisting insulation. Each
block has a vacuum center, one
of the best of insulators, it is
said.

WALSH BACKS
DEMOCRACY

Confidence that American democ-
racy will flourish after surviving
"the battle of the Potomac in
1887" was expressed last night by
the Rev. DR.. Edmund A. Walsh,
S.J., at Memorial Continental Hall
in the fourth of a series of lee
lures on the Constitution.
DR.. Walsh, who is vice president
of Georgetown University and re-
gent of its school of foreign af-
fairs, told a capacity audience that
the United States Constitution was
a strong document drafted to fill
the needs of a changing civiliza'
ton and for this reason would
preserve American democracy. He
said:
"The American Constitution
has been able to weather the
cataclysmS of 13O years, during
which similar attempts else
| where have collapsed in fire ana
blOOdshed, leaving behind only
the ashes Of unfulfilled hopes
and bitter diSilluSiOnment.
"a democracy which survived
Valley Forge, which emerged
strengthened and rejuvenated
from that impaSSiOned conflict
and which withstOOd the fratri-
cidal shock of 1861, will, am
confident, survive the battle Of
the Potomac in 1881"

Citizens Associations Editor

Brightwood Citizens Associa-
ton at a meeting last night in
Paul Junior High School by
unanimous vote reaffirmed a
former stand against pending
legislation that would make
horse racing legal in the Dis
trict.
The association with but two
dissenting votes indorSed a reso-
luton by George R. Wilhelm
asking repeal of the red rider
on the District appropriations
bill which compels school teach
ers to sign before receiving their
pay checks a statement they
have not taught or advocated
Communism. L. J. Cantrell,
principal of the Paul School,
said that out of 1900 teachers
in the school system he knew
of none that could be clasSed
as Communist, and to compel
signing the monthly statement
was a reflection on their patriot
ism.
Twin Bills Approved
On motion of William NICK.
Clayton, the association indorsed
twin bills in the House and Sen.
ate, by Representative Jennings
Randolph and Senator Royal S.
Copeland that would authorize
the election, and set up the ma
chinery for naming delegates
from the District of Columbia to
national political conventions.
A strong appeal was made to
the association by a driver in
the District Fire Department for
help in more rigid enforcement
of the regulations requiring all
traffic to come to a full stop on
the approach of apparatus re-
spending to an alarm. He cited
instances where automobile driv
ers willfully disregard the regula.
tions and weave in and out be-
tween apparatus which by regula
ton is compelled to remain zoo
feet apart.
Reference was made to the re.
cent fatal taxicab-apparatus crash
at Thirteenth and Irving Streets
which caused the death Of Sergt.

Homes Should Be
Air-COnditiOned,
Editor Says

Are you planning to build new
home?
If you are, be sure to conside
air-conditioning, advises Chris
topher Brooks, OF Good Housekeep
ing. He explains:
First, it makes a house much
more comfortable. Secondhand
this is quite impOrtant-houses
which are not air-conditiOned
will in a few years be Outmoded
and their market values wilt be
lowered accordingly.
"The air conditioning plant it.
self is far less bulky than you
would imagine. In fact, it takes
up no more floor space than an
ordinary heating plant. The
heating plant itself is an en-
closed unit with a conventional
gun-type oil burner. This burner
also heats the domestic hot
water supply in summer as well
as in winter. A gas burner or
an automatic coal stOker could
also be used.
"And here are the advantages
of an air-cOnditiOned house:
I'm winter time there are no
drafts, there is no StuffineSS.
Temperatures seldom vary more
than a degree or SO in any room.
Ankles do not begin to feel
chilly although a thermometer
three feet off the floor registers
10 degrees because the air is in
constant motion and doesn't
stratify in layers that grow
colder as they approach che
floor.
'Tn summer time the con-
stantly circulating air is kept
cool and free Of excess moisture.
Instead of being hot and Sullen,
it is softly fresh and lively.
Windows, of course, need never
be opened. Dust and dirt are
kept almost at the vanishing
point, and house cleaning is kept
to a minimum"

Wardman Park Theater tonight.
The entire gross receipts will be

Building. Plans are now being
drawn for a new church school and
educational building to be erected
in the rear of the present church
on K Street.
Three houses have been pur.
chased at the rear Of the Church,
two on K Street and one on Massa-
chusetts Avenue. These buildings
are to be torn down and a four
story building erected which will
house the church school, which
now has an enrolment of 1900.
In addition to the necessary
class rooms to provide for the 81
classes of the various departments
Of the school, there will be gym
nasium which will provide the nee
essary equipment for recreational
features for all ages. The church
now has four basketball teams,
two of girls and two of boys, who
at present have to hire gymna-
siums in other parts of the city.
In addition to providing recre-
ational features for the members
of the church and church school,
.'lans are being made to assist
and invite the underprivileged
children of the neighborhood to
use use the new building.

PIon Likened
ToF Federal
Reserve
Market Sterilization
Given as Reason
For Proposal

Probability of a new period Of
building construction, and of real
estate mortgage financing, gives
particular emphasis to the need
for establishment at this time OF
O central agency within the mort
gage financing field that will give
the best control possible for safe
guarding and staoilizing long-term
mortgage lending, the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
declared today in an official state
ment. It pointed out the Wagner
Pepper bill, now before Congress,
would create q central agency,
owned by the mortgage lenders,
that would become its members,
but with proper governmental sup
erviSion. This agency would be a
reserve bank for mortgage lend
ing, acting in this important field
much as the Federal Reserve
banks do as reserve institutions
for commercial loan-making. The
discount facilities it would set up
would be available to all types
Of sound urban mortgages.
In a letter to the Committee on
Banking and Currency of the Sen
ate, Edward A. MacDougall, New
York, chairman of the aSsocia-
tion'S committee on real estate
finance, states the feeling of the
association that the Wagner-Pep-
per bill should he regarded as a
companion measure to that re-
Gently enacted extending the Gov
ernment's guarantee of Federal
Housing Administration deben-
lures. MacDougall said:

tion, it is our judgment that the
mortgage market of the country,
for the great field of private ac-
tivity in new building and de-
velopment, can never function
properly until we have estab-
lished Federal mortgage bank
ing system"
The market for sound mort
cages of all types on urban real
estate which would be created by
the proposed Federal Mortgage Dis
count Bank would provide, Incl
dentally, the means and machinery
for sound control and coordina-
ton of the new real estate financ-
ing that will come as fast as nor
NAL enterprise gets under way
again. the association pointed out.
The statement said:
There is very general reCOg-
milton that the mortgage mar
ket needs a balance wheel. 1t
is needed in the interests both
of mortgage and mOrtgagor.
The mortgage wants stabilized
practice as the best assurance of
the safety of his loan. The
mortgagOr wants aSSur ance
against getting caught in any
such total dearth of mortgage
funds as we experienced in re-
cent depression years.
His purchase of a property
or his decision to improve his
property has safety only as he
can be assured that his financ.
ing will not be pinched off in
time of need. Both get this as
Surance if the mortgage can
dispose of his mortgage holdings
when he may want to do so, at
whatever may be a fair dis
count at the time"

When a news photographer
takes pictures of a fire, that Is
commonplace. But when new
photographer starts a fire and
then fails to get a picture Of it,
that is exceptional.
All of which leads UP to an
incident that happened in the
middle of Roland Hayes recital
last night at the Armstrong High
School Auditorium. A photo
grapher had parted the back
curtains of the stage slightly to
point his lens toward the audience
during the intermission and the
heat from a photo flash bulb
which was held too near the
curtain caused it to smolder, and
later to break out into flames just
as the Negro tenor crossed the
stage to sing his third group OF
songs.
Mr.. Hayes and his pianist,
Percival Parham, beat a hasty re-
treat and a fireman quickly
turned a hand extinguisher on
the burning curtain while the
audience sat calmly watching the
performance. The concert was
