Design of Small
 Homes Improved
FILA Official Notes Evi- dence ofChange After
 Planning Meet

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. - Evi- dence of improvement in planning and designing of homes following series of small-home-planning conferences held during the past year is reported by Howard Le- land Smith, Chief of the Federal Housing Administrations Architec- tural Section
 MT. Smith, who held 38 confer ences with builders, architects, con- tractors, and materials dealers dur ing the year, stated that the evil dence of improvement in planning and design tends not only to lessen the risk on mortgage insurance but carries out the intent of the Ma tional Housing Act, ito encourage improvement in housing standards and conditions"
 Over 10000 builders, bankers. architects, material dealers, an d the general public attended the small home planning conferences, Mir Smith said.
 Besides stimulating small-home construction, he said, the confer ences demonstrated the need for sound and intelligent planning, not only for the neighborhood but for the house itself We also stressed tIo napaccitu If nbtajpi,1u nlanc which have a high degree of liva- bility and privacy, together with attractive exteriors which create a desire for ownership These were the predominating factors of our program.
 "The conferences also brought out the fact that competent architec- tural service is essential in order

letters. This year he probably won't for his chief accomplishment was an ability to control the tipoff.
 Certainly scoring is higher this year. Columbia is getting 45 points a game against 36.5 in 1887; NY.U 45 against 43; L. I. U. 66 against 52.1
 Woman Trouble Hank Luisetti of Stanford made 50 points in a game against Du- quesne. And at Toledo O., Charles Chuckovits averaged "A points a game in his first six contests. If the new rules add six or seven minutes playing time to a game. they cer- tainly should give added chances to the high-scorers.
 There afready have been several old records uncovered to prove that Hank really didn't set a new record after all And if he wants some- thing to shoot for he may try to beat the mark of Marie Boyd, the girl who played for Central high school Lcnaconing, Md, in 1925. In a game against Ursaline academy, Marie got 156 points.
 1 Unaffected by the new rules, eX- cept that they may help scoring was the John Tarleton basketball team at Stephanvilie, Tex. The PloWboys had 80 straight wins and were still unbeaten when we heard from 'em last.
 But the Plowboys face competi- ton from the women, too. At Kill dare, Tex, there is a girls team that has won IA consecutive games and still is undefeated.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 23-Huntors guns take 30,00O of the 100000 buck deer annually available in Texas Natural deaths remove even more. But the states game supply still grows.
 It's partly because many ranch CTS are conservation-conscious They profit through fees for hunting pri- vileges during the winter open sea- son.
 Wild turkeys flourish and around 500,Cc0 of shooting size are found yearly. Quail and doves exist in in estimable numbers. The prairie hen however, is protected by closed season.

to obtain low cost. Low cost comes from intelligent use of materials, taking advantage of st a n ar d lengths of structural members and stock sizes of millwork, avoiding unnecessary corners, and obtaining a minimum of hall spaces.
 Through the use of these prin- ciples builders are now aware that good homes, well planned and at- tractive. can be profitably produced at cost, including the lot, at a price well under $5,000.'
 Small l-home-p planning conferences were held during 1887 in New York, Massachusetts. New Jersey, Mary land Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wis consin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri. Nebraska, Kansas. Okla hoina, Texas, Colorado. Utah, Ari- zona, California, Oregon, and Wash ington. The conferences already scheduled for 1888 includes the States so far not covered by the program and will be enlarged to bring to the building industry the possibilities of rental housing as an investment, with exhibits of rental projects now completed and in operation that were financed under terms of the Federal Housing Administration Insured Mortgage System. The conferences so far held were sponsored by the Am erican Institute of Architects, real estate boards, and other associa- tions interested in small honss.

Farmers Are Scared by
 Aerial Coyote Hunters

ST. EDWARDS, Neb., Jan. 28.- A coyote hunting airplane pilot caused considerable excitement in this area the other day.
 His plane circled the farm field of Martin Wellin. It dipped low, a few shots were heard, and it swooped up again.
 Repeated performances, punctu- ated with gunfire, caused farmers nearby to gather at the scene. They learned the pilot was pursu- ing lone coyote.
 He finally bagged the animal, and continued his trip.

man Catholic Church hasn't lost a trick.
 ThN Christian movement seems to be having its ups and downs. In some places reports of great spiritual revival are made. Here in Nagoya the special evangelistic effort made at the Methodist Protestant Boys Middle school during the winter has been more successful than ever. Where an evangelist has caught the emo- tional wave that is caused by the present situation, he has had great success. Certainly the gov- ernment has encouraged spiritual awakening, but they probably have something else in mind than have Christians. Personally think there is value in assuming that they have not, and using the op- portunity for real Christian even- gelism. But most of our pastors are not so minded; they rather think it in a time to "lie low" Our two Nagoya churches seem to be getting weaker. The trans fer of the Shibata family of Ai- chi church to Osaka has all but finished that church. MT. Sibata was the leader there, chairman of our Biwajima building committee, manager of the local branch of the Sumitomo bank. The pastor of Aichi church is an old man, has been there entirely too long, and is very much discouraged. Un- fortunately I am unable to help him. The pastor of Tokai church is now in China. He was one of five persons sent there by the National Christian council to try to work out understanding be- tween the Chinese Christians and missionaries and the Japanese military. I understand that the army requested them. How un- successful the mission will be re- mains to be seen. In the mean time the local church is leader less and some of the members are discouraged. I have been helping as much as I have been able to. I know that I could do much more if were asked.
 Setback Up
 At BiWajima we have had a set back in some ways. We found it necessary in March to dismiss the head kindergarten. She had been with me from the beginning more than five years ago, and had done much to develop the work. There fore she had her roots in deep and when she had to leave she loos- ened quite bit of soil. There is no point in detailing the circum- stances in this letter. Suffice it to say that there were good and sufficient reasons for the change. But her reaction was violent; although I had given her one months notice, she quit at once, leaving us without a teacher just two weeks before graduation. The second teacher quit also in sym pathy. Seven mothers withdrew their children. We were surprised that there were not more. For tunately we had foreseen the crisis and made arrangements for two other teachers to step in at once

made this snapshot more pIeas-
 ing.
 A LMOST everyone who has a A camera takes pictures of his home, but many of us neglect the few simple suggestions which would make our snapshots of "home sweet home" much more pleasing. Here they are:
 First, keep the camera level, or vertical lines will be distorted. Stand back far enough to get the picture without tilting the camera. If necessary, shoot from across the street-perch yourself in fork of tree, or maybe step- ladder will give you the proper ele- vation.
 Second, pick time when the sun lights the house at the proper angle. The sun rays should strike the house at a slant so that shadows are cast by such details as window frames and weatherboardlng. These shad- ows outline all the brightly lighted projecting details, and they will ap- pear clearly in the picture.
 Third, try to frame" the picture attractively with trees or over- hanging branches. Such a natural frame" for the house gives depth to the picture and adds pictorial charm.

 filter over the camera lens to give tone to the sky. Mentioned sky is especially pleasing in pictures of white houses, and it improves the effect of any picture.
 If you have no recent pictures of your home, take few today, follow. ing these suggestions. Perhaps your house is so situated that you can't apply all the rules, but each, by it. self. will help you produce pictures that more attractivsly present the place where you live.
