AIaskanS Urged
 To Make Gardens

The Juneau Woman's Club spon- sors educational programs weekly over KINY.
 On August 30 an article pertain ing to flowers, was prepared by Mrs. Maxcine Williams and read over the air by Mrs H. L. Wood, as follows:
 Fall is the time of year when gardens must be made ready for winter. Needing and trimming off the seedpods is advisable at this time. Transplanting should not be done later than the middle of Aug ust.
 Every gardner should possess cold frame, even if only a small one, as this enables one to keep young as well as many tempera- mental perennials over winter
 The latter part of September and October is the time to plant bulbs. A little bone meal for food at blos- soming time, little sand for drain age under the bulh, is advisable.
 Bulbs do we'll in this section of Alaska and are the first flowers of spring. Snowdrop, the earliest of them, sometimes makes its appear ance in February After this comes the crocus, which brings a livelier tone to the spring pattern. Scillias, chinodoxas and grape hyacinths add touch of blue to the garden. In quick succession from April there are daffodils, narciSsus, early tu- lips, both single and double; hya- cinths and last the tall, beautiful cottage, Mendel, Breeder and Dar- win tulips. Plant the tulips five inches deep; but do not bury them so they do not have to dig them selves clear from China in the spring.
 Gladiolus and dahlia bulbs are dug each fall and stored in a cool, dry place. The dahlias are dug after
 the tops have been killed by frost. Gladiolus are dug little later. After several good freezes it will be time to take up the rose bushes. By now the wood is matured and the bush dormant. Dig the bushes and shake all the dirt from the roots. Cut the main branches back to within about ten inches of where the bush was in the ground. This is to prevent moulding of dead leaves and stems during storage. Wrap the roots in burlap and store in a dark, cool place for the win ter. If one doesn't have such a place, the local florist has a fine bulb cellar where for small charge, bulbs may be stored.
 When the ground is thoroughly frozen, cover the perennials with hemlock boughs.
 Gardening is a nice occupation for the housewife, giving her some necessary outdoor work and yet not take her away from her home, Great
 joy produces a gay window box Ii time or soil is limited. The satisfac- ton and joy of seeing things grow and respond to your care will be ample reward for the hours of. back ache, grubby hands and exaspera- tions met with in achieving gar den.
 Come on, plant few flowers here and there and see how much good it will do-for yourself, for the city, for Alaska! urges the club.

FAMILY DWELLING
COSTS HELD LOWER
H. I. B. B. Statistician Reports
Increase in Number Of Homes
in Four Months.

The construction of new family
dwelling units in all cities of 10000
population or over during the first
four months OF 1898 was greater than
during the same period in 1887, while
their cost was less, Corwin A. Fergus,
director of the division of research
and statistics of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board, reported today.
A total Of 65,581 dwelling units,
costing 1928, 8,1s7,3 300. was reported
for the January to April period this
year, as compared with 65,264 units,
costing 1886 ,043, 900, last year. These
figures are compiled from records
received by the U. s. Department OF
Labor.
During April 14.779 units were built,
as contrasted with 1920 in March.
Wholesale prices OF building ma
terials in the United States in April,
as compiled by the U. s. Department
OF Labor, were ST. per cent under
those for April. 1897, Mr.. Fergus esti-
mated. Among the specific materials
showing declines from q year ago
were brick and tile. A. per cent;
lumber. ll.6 per cent; paint and paint
materials, per cent. and plumbing
and heating, 1.9 per cent. Cement
and structural steel remained pyacti-
cally stationary in price.

AIR CONDITIONING HELD
FOE OF OBSOLESCENCE
Power of Its Benefits to Forestall
Depreciation Cited by
Henderson.

Air conditioning was described as
"a powerful weapon in the battle on
obsolescence" here today by William
B. Henderson, executive vice president
OF the Air Conditioning Manufacture
ers Association, in commenting on the
outcome of court hearing in New
Orleans.
Liquidators of the Canal Bank Il
Trust Co. sought to invest almost
100000 to air condition its l8-story
S8,o0o,00o building. When two de-
positors attempted to halt the i'm
provement civil judge rescinded a
temporary stay order and the Louisi-
ana Supreme Court then refused to
Interfere with the ruling when an In
junction was asked.
The st. Louis Stock Exchange soon
Will move into an air-conditionad
building" said Mr.. Henderson. This
is interesting corroborative evidence
OF the potency of air conditioning in
competitive real estate situations. and
the power of its benefits to forestalI
depreciation"

struction is regarded by many as a
key to recovery.
Any stimulation of home building
and remodeling may be expected to
improve business in general, reduce
relief rolls by providing increased en-
ployment not only in building but in
other allied industries.
Financing Costs Lower.
Not only have improvements in
building methods made the home of
today better value, but construction
costs today are actually at point
that makes it possible to build at
bargain prices, Mr.. Mason pointed
out. At the same time building sites
can be bought for considerably less
than 10 or IL years ago, and under
the mortgage system of the Federal
Housing Administration financing can
be handled as much as IS per cent less.
The building industry has a splen-
did product, on financing terms un-
eQualed in any other line" declared
Mr.. Mason. Local building men must
get together to emphasize the good
points of home building and home
ownership. Unfortunately, most of
the publicity they have been getting
lately has been just the opposite. Un-
fair and unwise high cost propaganda
is costing the building industry mil
lions of dollars in sales.
Home builders are today putting
up the best built, most completely
equipped. completely modern homes
in the history of this or any other
land. They constitute a good buy
and bargain value at the remark
ably low monthly carrying costs.
Just as the department stores,
furniture stores, mail order houses
and even the used-car dealers have
created a feeling in the mind of the
public that it is getting a bargain, ;
so the building industry must, through
united effort, create a similar psy-
chology.
I'VE believe that series of DOM
inant, forceful, full-page advertise
ments once week, supported and
paid for by all the local home build
ing interests in a town, can materially
affect public sentiment and create
home buying.
Programs Of this type have al

LIBERAL INTEREST
CITED BY REALT0R
Opportunity for Homeseeker
in Capital UnequaIed
Before, Leader Says.

The home seeker in the District
never before has had the opportunity
to acquire home on such liberal
terms and at such low interest rates
as are now being offered, william
M. Throckmorton, realtor, of the
william M. Throckmorton Co., said
today.
I'VE have never lived in a period
when our vacancy ratio of homes was
so low" said Mr.. Throckmorton.
Money for home financing is plenti-
ful. In addition to the homes being
offered through ordinary channels,
we have newer important factor in
the field. The Home Owners Loan
Corp. is now disposing of the prop
critics it has acquired.
'These H. o. L. c. homes are good
investments and there is no specula-
ton in their sale. The corporation,
with a sales policy free of any profit
motive, has established competitive
prices in keeping with the present
market. 1t has placed its homes in
the hands of approved brokers, who
operate on a standard commission
basis.
These homes can be purchased
for down payments as low as 10
per cent, provided the prospect is a
good credit risk. The loan is carried
for as long as IS years at a per
cent interest rate, the lowest ever
offered.
"The corporation has sold IS prop
critics in the District of Columbia in
the past two months, as compared to
7 in the previous two months. This
definitely points to greater real estate
activity, which is generally followed
by higher prices, higher interest
rates and more restrictive terms.
Those who have money to invest
now should forget pessimistic talk and
get busy. They should take advantage
of today's favorable conditions-pro-
crastination may prove expensive.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note that the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. has announced it will
spend $100,000,000 on rental housing
In the next five years, and the Pru-
dental and other insurance compan-
les are contemplating similar prof.
ects. The Federal Housing Admin
istration has insured loans amounting
to more than $20,OeO,0OO on large
scale renting developments. All this
is evidence of improving conditions
In the residential real estate market.
"A new home is a fine investment,
1t is true, but, at the same time,
there are thousands of good homes
on the market today, many of them
held by the H. o. L. c., that are real
buys for the money"

KITCHEN IS IMPORTANT
Room Should Be Made Convenient
and Attractive.

The kitchen in the modern house Is,
in many respects, the most important
room in the house. This is especially
true in cases where servant is not
employed and where the mistress of
the house must attend the cooking,
laundry work and the many other do
mestic duties. In such instances the
mistress must spend large part Of
her time in the kitchen, hence this
room should be made as convenient
and attractive as possible. The kitchen
should be reached by a separate en-
trance where tradesmen can deliver
supplies and packages. II there is q
basement there should be convenient
access to the stairs.

The Washington times., 1938-08-05

Washington, where public health
and low-income was discussed,
shows how the wind blows.
When you add an almost GER
tain possibility of $3.50 ,0OO, 900 o
year for this sort of work, I say
to my fellow physicians: "be
warned in time, or you will hear
the death rattle of medical prac-
tice as we know it today"
The medical profession is on
the spot right now. We have
drifted quite a way from the old
school methods and I declare
doctors are becoming business
men first and physicians after
ward. The first duty Of the doc
tor is to give service. to alleviate
suffering. to care for the sick. I
am afraid we have, many Of US,
forgotten this, and above d
money to be our chief concern.
Take group health into your
own hands, gentlemen, before
group health takes you over.
Take reasonable compensation.
assured compensation, instead Of
bad bills and fees that are too
high and the matter will more
than balance in your own favor.
Unless this is done, socialization

follows night. Maybe, though I
hope not, it is too late now.
