Act Ruled Violation

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1.-Pennsyl-
vania's Fair Practice Act forbidding
merchants to sell goods below cost
was ruled unconstitutional yester-.
day by Judge Samuel H, Gardner in
Quarter Sessions Court.
The court said the law, enacted
last year by the Little New Deal
Legislature, was outside the police
powers of the State and violated
both Federal and State constitutions
unfolding the right of acquiring,
possessing and protecting property.
~Judge Gardner criticized the
measure, asserting:
s'It is not permissible under the
police power to enact law which
IN effect spreads an all-inclusive
net for the feet of everybody on the
chance that while the innocent will
surely be entangled in it's meshes
some wrongdoers may be caught"

EASEMENTS INVITE
DECORAT|0N|DEAS
Contest Shows Preferences.
Effects Often Gained by
EXPERIMENTATION.

Most householders delight to parry
with pigments and trlne with tints.
This was revealed in a recent modern
lied basement contest held by the Chi
- cago Coal Merchants Association. Over
200 remodeled Easements, all immacu-
lately heated by hard coal, coke or
treated soft coal, were entered by
proud owners. Judges learned many
new things about what people liked in
remodeled cellars and which wall and
floor finishing materials stand up best.
They found that most successful
basement decorations are home
planned over long period Of time.
The best ones are apparently those to
which each member Of the family
contributes with ideas and workman
ship. Father may insist on a vermilion
and black enameled cocktail bar, while
mother holds out for plenty Of shelf
space for storing toys, games and
glassware.
Children Have Voice.
The children may put in an urgent
word for a green-painted sandbox,
stenciled over with animal characters.
Big brother is fascinated by the posi-
bilities of having brilliant red, ebony
and natural wood finished shooting
range and big sister wants cleaning
black and green waxed, roped-off
dance floor for quick jam sessions
when the urge is on. Put all the ideas
together and they'd spell chaos in an
upstairs room. But Easements are
made for just this sort of family foible
fling.
Wood paneling is very popular for
basement rooms. One pine wood fin
ish calls for an oil stain left on for
while, then rubbed of and waxed
Others use clear varnish over the new
wood. Semi-gloss paint to go on brick
walls and waterproof cement paint for
floors seems highly favored.
Vista Effects Obtained.
Decorators of basement rooms are
particularly partial to vista effects
a skyscraper scene, for instance, or a
rustic setting on mountain top A
typical basement Of this type, belong
ing to Fred j. Hirsch in Oak Park
went penthouse for. its paint policies.
The two sons of the household painted
murals showing the big city at night,
using semi-gloss paint in shades of
blue. These concealed the coal bin.
The floor was given a coat of maroon
cement paint. Mrs Hirsch fancied an
awninged effect for the wainscoat and
ceiling. Flexible wallboard was cut
Ind erected, then painted in old rose
and buff. The other end of the base
ment-where the pingpong table
stands-has the consultations painted
above the foundation wall in blue and
gray-blue. The foundation brick is
grayed-blue. The effect is that of gaz-
ing from a rooftop on starlit night. A
climbing rose plant cleverly conceals
the gas meter box. Furniture is ivory
and scarlet.

the depression exerts continuous pres
sure on the building market. It has
frequently been observed that liquida-
ton OF these properties becomes active
and depresses the market when rents
and property values begin to rise. This
Is one of the reasons why it is still
possible in many cases to buy existing
homes at less than reproduction cost.
Residential real estate repossessed
by lending institutions is estimated to
have increased in number of dwell
lngs and in amount about tenfold
from 1929 to 1896. In 1887 this
'overhane' remained fairly stationary
and amounts at present to approxi-
mately $4,000. 100000 = = The reduc-
ton of the 'overhang' will, in part,
determine the time and extent of any
further revival of private building ac-
tivity"
Further discussing high building
costs, as related to a shortage of
homes, the board finds:
High building costs are not due
exclusively to prices of materials and
labor. Equally responsible, among
other factors, are excessive waste,
faulty construction, poor methods OF
distribution, the present small-scale
operations Of the building industry,
lack of Standardization and frequently
extravagant profits Of contractors and
sales agents.
The boards survey discloses that
despite the example set by other in
dustries. "mechanized production" is
still lacking in residential building.
The building industry has nothing
comparable to the achievements of
mass production in other fields"
