TT LOOKS as though air condi-
TONERS for individual rooms are
going to be even smaller and
L more compact this year. Instead
of the giant affairs which took up
as much space as small piano. the
new devices for summer comfort will
be relatively inconspicuous as they
nestle up against convenient window.
One unit which has just been an
nounced will feature steel walnut
finished casing under which operates
a supersilent refrigeration machine
1t will just fit into an average sized
window and has an adapter which
enables it TO pull in a quantity Of de-
sirable fresh air. as we'll as eject the
warm air after it is worked on by the
machine. The whole machine is under
the control Of the room occupant by
means Of an easily operated switch
Arrangement, making it a simple mat
ter to supply yourself with ideal
weather conditions in accordance with
the state of the weather outside.
A MOTHER smaller, less expensive
device is now available to clean
the air in your room, circulate it. heat
it, and add humidity The little unit
is only 13 inches high, 10 inches wide
and weighs about 10 pounds. 1t is all
built into a metal case with an attrac-
tive crackle finish and has handle
on top so it can easily be carried
around from room to room as desired.
The business end of the outfit con-
sists Of a fiber filter, two water sprays
and an electric fan with a capacity Of
so cubic feet per minute. Down in
the bottom part of the case is located
a reservoir with capacity of quarts
of water. This water is lifted up by a
belt-driven agitator, and the manufac-
turers claim it cleans the air very eff
ciently as the little fan blows 1t
through the resultant spray. If you
want to you can remove the rubber
belt and just use it as an electric fan.
We almost forgot to mention that the
machine also features a 1,000-watt
heating element which heats the cir
culated air and will take the chill
off of an averaged sized room. The
heater, plus the fan. will also act as a
hair dryer, or for any other operation

I'm almost every instance these
projects were treated as investment
properties, were built for rent" the
forum emphasizes. Instead OF be-

Of the above-average income group
they were aimed at the growing be-
loW-average income group, market
which will probably continue to in
crease for some time to come. whether
by additions from above or below.
The experience of pioneer large
scale developments clearly indicates
that this approach to housing is a
sound one. And yet this conclusion
will be strongly resisted for the curious
reason that builders believe the mar
ket is not yet ready for large-scale
rental construction. This is curious
reason, because 1t is quite without
logic.
Market More Advantageous.
1T assumes that today's housing
market has approximately the same
market of II to IA years ago. when,
as matter of fact, its characteristics
differ almost entirely and the build
er'S diagnosis has nothing whatever
to do with the opportunities for large
scale capital investments in the pres
ent market.
The housing market today is
great deal more advantageous for in
vestment capital than it is likely to be
again for decade, and there is no
good reason why period of specula-
tive building should invariably pre-
cede that of investment building"
After analyzing each of the separate
factors comprising total savings in
large-scale housing, such as materials,
labor. equipment and overhead, the
Architectural Forum magazine listed
the following probable savings:
Ap. size of protect. Csay,; pct. Ct t. cost
10 dwelling units o., or o.
700 dweIlins uni,s- 1oS ls1o =.
1000 dwelling units 81 20ro 35co
Further Savings Possible.
"Large-scale rental projects are able
to effect further savings in running
expenses, such as finance carrying
charges, and costs Of management and
operation. with increasing size," the
Architectural Forum magazine adds
"Since overall housing expense is gen.
orally thought to be directly proper
tional to total cost. savings in cost
may be translated directly into saw
ings in housing expense IA reduction
in cost Of 10 per cent equals a 10
per cent reduction in running ex-
pense).
Additional savings in housing ex-
pense resulting from larger size in
rental projects probably run about
8 per cent for the 100 house project
and about Is per cent for the 1000
house size. Adding these savings in
running expense to the estimated saw
ings in cost given above brings the
total probable savings in overall hous-
ing expense for rental projects to
about % per cent for 100 houses and
35 per cent for 1000 houses"

eventual objective Of 200 houses. The
section is located on Colesville pike,

more under construction. The de-

mitted you knew all about me before we met
at the Cadenza, and you told me you were a
journalist. Just exactly how much do you
know about my business, and where did you
get the information? 80"
His voice tailed away. He had seen her
casting quick glances into the next room, and
suddenly he stepped forward and peered
through the doorway. The light from the
candle shone into dingy bedroom with
narrow bed in the corner. But it was some
thing on the floor that his eyes fastened upon.
1t was the body of a man. lying quite STILL
with crimson stain on the shirt.
Slowly, Sinclair turned towards the girl.
For moment she said nothing: then she came
quickly round the table to his side. You
were fool to come here! For PHYS sake, get
away. This has nothing to do with you"
That remains to be proved" he said His

''Goodby, Mr.. Sinclair. I've failed. and I'm
sorry But want to thank you for being so
charming to me. won't forget our evening
at the Cadenza - and good luck with the
Mel,n0th gold!'
He saw her hurry down side street. AS
the taxi drove on, he began to light cigar
ette An odd encounter, he reflected. He had
liked the girl; liked her enormously. If he
hadn't, he wouldn't have talked to her so
freely at that dance place. Perhaps he'd been
indiscreet with this stranger who had ended
by calling herself journalist. The thought
CALLED him. Had she been telling the truth, he
wondered or was there something else in
the wind? Acting upon sudden impulse, he
tapped on the glass screen and the driver
applied his brakes.
Tossing the man a couple of half Crowns,
Sinclair hurried back to the corner where the
girl had got out 1t wasn't much more than
fifty yards away. and he looked down the
narrow street. Near the other end he thought
he could see the pale simmer of her evening
wrap near a street lamp. He had been think
ing quickly during the last minute or two. and
he felt distinctly uneasy He was fool to
have let her go like that! A few pointed ques
tons might give him some inkling of how

much truth there really had been in her story.
Pausing at the end of long dark alley he
caught sight of her under the light of lamp
on wal-bracket; then she disappeared into
the shadows beyond.
Following, he emerged into the open. He
was at the back of high tenement. old and
decayed; and ahead, he could vaguely make
out row of low buildings which might have
been disused stables. At the top of an outside
stair, he suddenly caught sight of the girl as
she went through doorway.
Surely she couldn't live in this dismal place.
The very smell was damp and fetid
Sinclair hurried over the uneven cobble-
stones and went up the stair He knocked
sharply on door at the head.
In the window on his left, light was show

anyone appear in answer to his knock. His

pushed open the door.
