NOTED WOMAN
TO BE GUEST
OF CLUBS
BY MARY PADGETT

DR.. Magda de Spur, of Buda-
pest, Hungary, internationally ia.
nous clubwoman, will be the guest
of honor at a dinner given by the
Washington Soroptimist Club and
the Business and Professional Club
of the District of Columbia, to-
night at Z o'clock in the Willard
Hotel.
DR.. de Spur is president of the
SoroptimiSt Club of Budapest as
we'll as of the International Busi-
ness and Professional Women's
Club of that city. Her leadership
in the cause of such groups as
the National Council of Women,
the Women Authors Club and the
Hungarian Association of Uni
versity Women, places her as a
key woman in the promotion OF
the arts and public welfare. She
is a free-lance writer and lecturer.
In this country in the interest
of International Women's Week,
which will be held in Budapest
this year, DR.. de Spur is making
a tour of the United States as a
speaker before the Soroptimist
groups and other women's clubs
Representatives from IL coun-
tries will gather for this Interna
tional Woman's Week, the object
of which is "to foster women's in
ternational understanding as a po-
tent influence towards promoting
world peace" and ito show visitors
the characteristics of Hungarian

tradition"

Overlooked Ventilation

This engineer was thinking of
the possibility of double-glazing
W i n dow S-otherwise using two
panes of glass instea6 of one in
the same window frame, with
small air space between the two
panes-to keep in the heat during
the winter and keep it out during
the summer. Well. the Pullman
Company has been doing that for
a good many years, in using double
windows on its cars. And the
thrifty Germans have done it in
some Of their houses. But what
this engineer forgot or didn't know
was that a house so constructed is
improperly ventilated.
Unless it is to be air conditioned,
and the flow of pre-heated or pre-.
cooled air carefully regulated to
insure the freshness of the inside
atmosphere, the leaks around the
windows and the gusts which blow
in when the doors Of a house are
opened in winter are necessary to
good health, as we'll as to a pleas
ant existence. When the same
thrifty Germans who put two
panes Of glass in the window to
save on fuel gather round their
tables of an evening to consume
quantities Of beer, liverwurst, Linn
burger cheese and black bread,
and afterward light up their
meerSchaum pipes, the house
atmosphere takes on something of
the consistency as well as the
smell of the cheese.
So there are sometimes two
sides to the story in house con-
Struction as in other things.
You can seal up a house until
it is air tight, but you can't live
in it in that condition. Or you
can open it up to all the winds
that blow, "refuse to put in
weather stripping or insulation or
air spaces in your walls and double
your fuel bill.
Sometime soon, when the
money becomes available, the Blu
reau of Standards hopes to build
several experimental houses in
its own backyard here in Wash.
ington. There it's specialists in
materials and construction will
test out their theories under
actual working conditions, and
that will help.

room and kitchen units ever so
much, but our family is getting
bigger now and we want q
dining-rOOm. Also advise the
price Of additional bedrooms.
And are they really made Of
steel or are they just tin?"
Well, a tin can is really made
of steel for that matter. Tin cans
represent the early development of
strip steel. They are cut from thin
strips of steel coated with tin.
From that point the steel and
motor industries between them
have worked up to the production
of strips which can be and are
stamped into the So-called turret
tops of the newer cars. And if you
can cut and stamp and otherwise
fashion the body of a railroad car
or automobile out of steel, why not
a small house? It's just a matter

and small houses and you see it
in trailers. Some of the new
trailers are complete house units
on wheels, with kitchen, bath
room, dining alcove and sleeping
quarters all crowded into the
space of a single room in an
ordinary house. How do they
do it? You have to see them to
understand fully just how well it
can be done. If you want to live
in that kind of a house you can
buy a trailer for $500 or $4O0,
set it up on a plot of ground, and
presto! You have your house!
If you keep it painted it prob.
ably will last long time. Sue
ceSSful prefabrication! Apply the
same principle to a house de-
signed for permanent placement
rather than for the road, and
there's no reason, why it can't be
delivered right to your own build
ing lot, set on a concrete founda-
ton, and become your mailing
address.
Ana that may be one answer
to the low.cost house-the big
brother to the trailer-when the
big induStrialists wake up to the
possibility of converting it into
house. 1t wouldn't accommo-
date a large family Of children,
unless you wanted to sprinkle an
assortment of trailers, cabins,
houses or what-nots around the
premises, but it would supply salts
factory shelter for two or three
persons if they couldn't afford to
pay more than $1,000 for house,
or preferred to live in small
house and save rent while planning
a larger domicile later on.
From that point onward and up
ward the prefabricators could ex-
pertinent to their hearts content
or until the money ran out. Some
where along the line they might
find something to strike the public
fancy. If they ever do, and it
saves the home owner money in
the bargain, someone is going to
make fortune. A brand new in

HIGH COST CHIEF HOUSING OBSTACLE

dustry, with guaranteed profits
running into the millions of dol
lars, hunting around for some man
or group of men with the genius
to turn the dream into reality!
AS the latest development in pre-
fabrication, some of the prefabrica-
tors are experimenting right now
with this idea of building and de.
hvering unit house already as
Sembled, and simply sliding it off
a truck to prepared foundation.
The late Arthur Brisbane, edi-
torial genius of the Hearst news
papers, believed this to be the best
solution of the small-house prob
lem. His faith in it led him to
have several houses constructed on
this principle and transported to
Long Island, proving the idea
sound. Now some of the indus
trialiSts and builders are coming
back to it. The alternative in pre-
fabrication, Of course, is to deliver
the materials in standard sizes, cut
to fit and all ready to be nailed
or welded together after the house
arrives on the ground in knock
down form-the present mail
c"der-house system.
Strip steel, which is just what
its name implies-a long strip of
steel manufactured in varying
widths like ribbon or wooden or
cotton goods-may hold the secret
of the low-cost small house of the
future. The Detroit automobile
magnates are thinking of the pos
Sibility of stamping out the body
of house as they now stamp out
the body of a car. There is no rea-
son why it can't be done. If this
method of manufacture were to be
applied to house construction it
would be necessary to deliver
houses in units, ready to be bolted
or welded together on arrival at
their ultimate destination.
A small house, of course, could
be delivered complete, ready to be
hooked up to the gas, water, elec.
trio, and telephone lines.
