Odd IEouse Dormltory

odd House Dormltory
 old time. mansions had huge bedrooms because land, building material and labor were cheap. Per- haps another reason for the spatial manor house bedroom was the in- stinctive desire for air to breathe they never opened the bedroom windows, for night air was noxious.
 odd house ,Yill have . separate bedroom for each member of the family, but no bedroom will be larger than ten by twelve. feet. The rest of the space usually used in the bedroom will be used for clothes closet, drawers, Q dressing room and bathroom. +.5.
 The bathroom adjoining each bedroom will take half the space of the usual bathroom, because only shower baths will be used
 But the bedrooms will have as much window space as possible, windows entirely filling one side, if possible two sides. Windows fitted with roll-up wire screens for sum- mer, unbleached muslin screens for winter. The unbleached muslin screen is the simplest way to have fresh air in the bedroom yet ex- clude dust, snow, wind, excessive cold. The tinbleached muslin screen admits plenty of light to any room. It is washable. Every sleeping room in cold climate or cold weather should have one or more windows equipped with screens of unbleached muslin. It gives ideal sleeping ate mosphere. Such bedroom arrange ment with the windows open and the winter or summer screens In place gives oil the advantage of Q sleeping porch without the disoom- forts and difficulties involved in sleeping on an ordinary porch.
 The sleeping room will be on the second floor. Where sufficient ground Is available and not toe costly, or where there is an invalid to be considered, 1t would be as well from the health viewpoint to have all rooms on the ground floor For that matter, 1t is as healthful to sleep in basement room as it Is in an upstairs room, provided there is fair ventilation. That is if you have no quaint superstitions about imaginary dampness. People who sleep or live in basement apart mentS have to be concerned only about freedom of the air from poll luton by faulty furnaces, water heaters or other fuel-burning ap- pliances or by leakage of gas from the gas lines or meter connections If any in the building. The dress ing rooms and bathrooms at odd House will have radiators or regis- ters for heat, not the bedrooms.
 Oh yes, the bedrooms are going to be equipped with beds. We dc like c nice comfy bed. In fact the kind of a bed is Q pretty important matter at odd House or at' your house. The hired man ct odd House has several ideas about beds. mol all of them crazy, and he will toll you about them next time we gel on the subject, Meanwhile, well be glad to receive your suggestions about beds or any other feature oi odd House.

Some of Frances best artists flor example Jean Cocteau-have been prevailed upon to design land- scape patterns for summer prints. One of these prints designed by a famous artist shows 6 scene at sundown with black trees and shrubs silhouetted against e warm coral pink sky.
 Equally attractive are the black silhoucttes or figures from the South Seas printed against pastel backgrounds of pale pink, lemon yellow, robins egg blue or lime green. These show the dancing fig- ures of girls, of divers, of musicians and other romantic figures associated with the Pacific Islands.
 Corsages in seven or eight colorS often are used in 6 conventional pattern for summer prints, while evening patterns usually are design- ed with enormous orchids, peonies, lilacs, hyacinths and other flowers.

STREET CAR PROBE
ORDER COMMENDED
Takoma Park Citizens Ask I'm.
safe Equipment Be
Replaced.

The Public Utilities Commission
was commended by the Takoma Park
Citizens Association last night for its
prompt action in ordering an investi-
cation in connection with blaze on
q Georgia avenue street car, when
more than score Of passengers were
injured during a panic which fol-
lowed. The association met in the
Takoma Park Branch Library.
Burt W. Andrews, in telling the
association that several residents Of
Taokma Park were on the car, said
new cars should replace all those
found unsafe. His resolution, which
was adopted, also asked improved
service and more adequate schedules.
DR.. William A. Hooker introduced the
resolution commencing the Public
Utilities Commission.
In order to eliminate the smoke
nuisance in the Takorna Park area,
officials Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will be urged to act and a
suggestion will be made that the met
ropolitan branch Of the road be
electrified
DR.. Guy Clinton spoke on relief and
called attention to the favorable
results being obtained in Switzerland
and Sweden, where relief and employ
ment are handled through the same
agency. The association approved his
suggestion Of a work-relief program
handled through labor exchange
and the idea is to be forwarded to
welfare officials.
President Walter Trey appointed
Andrewsand John Walker members OF
a Nominating Committee for the
election Of officers at the May meeting.

from T. v. that he, too, would return
to Nanking that day. Both arrived
IN different planes Monday after
noon, and after hearing their ac-
counts Of things at Sian I insisted
on returning with them the next
morning
It was interesting to me to hear
from DR.. Donald that Han-chen had
definite plans to fly out with the
generalissimo in the event of an at
tack. I felt then that I understood
the mentality Of Han-chen, and that
gave me more confidence, not only
In my intuition, but also In my be-
lief that could reason with him
when had the opportunity to talk
with him. The situation at Sian was
I reflected, that Mr.. Donald had laid
the foundations, T. v. had built the
walls, and it would be 1 who would
have to put on the roof.

the generalissimo was well and that
his detention was acknowledged as
wrong by Han-chen, who asserted
that his motives were in the national
| interests, were brought to me as
| further evidence that Mr. Donald was
supporting Chang and was falsifying
facts. I was puzzled by this point
of view, ascribed it to military men
tallty, and telegraphed Mr. Donald
not to send any more wires for pub
| ucation.
Urged Husbands Release.
On Wednesday morning I again
| phoned to Mr.. Donald just before he
left for Sian. I told him to persuade
| Han-chen to let the generalissimo re-
turn at once If he did not want to be
| responsible for dire calamity, and !
urged him once more to give the gen.
eralissimo an understanding of the
| situation as 1t concerned me and to
explain clearly that 1 was doing my
utmost to prevent any fighting.
Fly back to Marking from Sian," ]
urged him.
No, I'll stay there" he replied, and
my last words were, Then you'll be
killed il cannot stop the fighting" "
There may be another way" he
said "but cannot say more"
Dr.. Kung took the telephone from
me and asked Mr.. Donald to tell
Chang that his very existence, to say
nothing Of his reputation, depended
upon the safeguarding of the general
issimo and that Chang could save
himself and the country If he would
fly the generalissimo to Taiyuanfu
and release him. If he would do
that. DR.. Kung promised, everything
would be forgiven.
Then I waited with whatever pa
tience 1 could muster for the plane
that was to leave Loyang for Nam
king with Mr.. Elder on board. 1t
was forced down at Pengpu, an hours
flight to the north, and Mr. Elder did
not see me till midnight.
Chang Injured by Fall.
From him learned that the gen.
eralissimo had been injured somehow
by fall; that the whole thing was
unexpected; that when daylight came
he found that all Of Chang Hsueh-
liang's troops at Sian had been dis
armed by Gen. Yang, who was in
charge OF the city and whose permits
had to be obtained, even by Chang's
men, TO pass through the gates; that
Chang had op1v In0 froops oc hod~,
guards in the city and only about
5000 outside, and that these consti-
tuted the anti-aircraft force in con-
troll Of the airfield; that it was not
till later In the afternoon that arms
were restored to Chang's forces.
In the meantime, a body Of Yang's
troops had gone to the airfield to
drain gasoline from the tanks Of a
number Of government airplanes

grounded there. Their idea OF doing
that was to bayonet the tanks and
destroy the planes; but they had been
dissuaded by Mr.. Elder. The anti
aircraft guns were then covered to
prevent any one trying to use them;
all the staff was sent of the field and
only the usual sentries were kept there.
Col Huang had seen the generalissimo
the previous day, but had been pre-
vented from leaving for Nanknig be-
cause the generalissimo had written
letter for him to deliver to me.
Generalissimo Ready to Die.
AS the generalissimo had read the
letter aloud, Mr. Elder was able to
give me the contents of 1t, and it
showed that the generalissimo was
ready to die rather than comply with
anything while under duress, and was
Of opinion that his end was near in
any event, for he expressed what he
wished me to do when he died.
The significance of Mr.. Donald S
last sentence when speaking to me
on the telephone from Loyang had
kept ringing in my ears, and I asked
Mr.. Elder the whereabouts Of the
Boeing (Chang Hsueh-liang's air
plane). When he replied that it was
at Sian, I asked him if he thought
Chang had any idea Of flying off with
the generalissimo in case Of an at
tack upon Sian?
That is possible" he answered.
II believe that is what Is afoot," I
remarked, and asked him where was
Barr Julius Barr, Changs chief
pilot.
I'm Hankow," he surprised me by
saying.
Then who is flying the Boeing?" I
