ensemble effect created by the
standardized units.
Despite the fact that these units
are made in standard sizes, they are
available in such q wide range of
models and colors that there is ample
opportunity for the housewife to
plan q kitchen which will reflect her
own personal taste.
Three types Of steel cabinets are
available for kitchens, wall cabinets,
base cabinets and vertical cabinets.
Cabinets SO Inches High.
The base cabinets are placed under
the sink and under counters adJoin-
ing the sink or stove. All base cabi-
nets are made the same height as
the sink and range, namely SO
inches. Studies by home economies
experts carried on with the as
sistance Of the plumbing industry
have revealed that this is the cor
rect height for the average woman.
1t is possible to vary the height If
desired. Ample toe space is pro-
vided at the base of the cabinets.
The width of the base cabinets,
too, is uniform with that Of the cabi-
net-style porcelain enamel sink,
namely IS inches.
Wall cabinets are 10, 80 and SO
inches high and vary in width from
IS to AZ inches. The depth of the
wall cabinets Is either IL or 13
inches.
Vertical cabinets are 81 inches
high and 18 to "a inches wide.

Small Homes
On Increase

Small home building in the United
States is moving upward at a rapid
rate, according to official Govern
ment reports now being received.
The Forest Products Division, Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, finds that lumber production
for the first II weeks of the current
year was II per cent ahead of the
corresponding period of 1898; new
orders were per cent greater; while
shipments surpassed last year by 10
per cent.
Meanwhile lumber stocks at the
mills have been slightly reduced.
The lumber industry continues to
look to small home building as the
best single market.
Preliminary figures indicate that
the first quarter of the present year
will show an increase OF 10 per cent
in residential building over the 1888
period.

BY ANNABEL PAXTON.

The Lindens has an unusual his
tory and it's doorway, which is the
center of interest of a prominent
central architectural feature, is de-
scribed by at least one authority
as "a unique treatment" The CEN
trail feature consists of two en-
gagged Corinthian columns which
extend through two stories, support
a steep pitched pediment, and frame
the doorway, a second-story hall
window and an attic window.
Columns of the central feature
are of wood painted white in con-
trast to the warm, gray-painted
background of the wooden board
ing of the walls. The cornice and
entablature above the columns are
finely nodded and decorated with
well-detailed modillions which pro-
duce an orderly, rhythmic play Of
light and shadow. AS in many other
Evening star., 1939-05-06

examples of Georgian Colonial
houses, the outside wall covering
is of boards grooved to simulate
stonework, the illusion being further
produced by a texture secured by
the use of sand. The character
of stonework is consistently followed
by growing the boards adjacent to
the doorway and above the heads
of the doorway and windows in the
manner of stone quoins and the
voissours of fiat arch lintels. Like
the columns, the quoins and arches
are emphasized by the use OF white
paint in contrast with the back
ground.
The doorway is reached by a
flight of three stone steps with foot
scrapers on either side of the door
and the door, deeply recessed in the
wall, is delicately nodded and PAN
eled. Top panels Of the door are
semi circular and glazed. A large

At Mass Costs

An example Of the advantages Of
prefabrication in the building in
dustry is the modern kitchen, says
the Plumbing and Heating Indus
tries Bureau.
Standardization and mass pro-
duction of kitchen and bathroom
equipment are not only ehecting
substantial economies in the cost of
materials and their installation, but
are speeding up new construction
and the modernization of old kitch-
ems.
Prefabrication of kitchen equip
ment received its impetus from the
development of the cabinet type Of
sink. Subsequently, matching floor
and wall cabinets were developed
to harmonic with the cabinets under
the sink.

would be floating beach resort,
with two large tiled swimming pools,
real sand beaches umbrellas and
cabannas, a regulation size tennis
court and other facilities that would
really permit persons to stretch
their muscles without restraint or
sun-bathe as they would at the
most fashionable resorts"
To enhance comfort Of summer
cruising in the tropics, a larger part
Of the ship would be conditioned.
Before this engineering device was
adopted to ships, the dining solon
was given the more favored position
for light and air. Air conditioning
will permit the upper portion of the
liner to be devoted to other public
rooms. At night, dining tables and
chairs would be moved and the
salon converted into theater.
"StateroomS," continued Mr.. SIM
mons, would be unusually COM
modious, sound proofed as much as
possible, every one with a private
bath or shower, and many en- suite
with veranda decks and ultra mod
ern conveniences. There would be

rooms, terraces, bars, a night club,

s There is summer of travel, high
lighted by two mammoth American
fairs, and a part of next winters
Florida and cruising season to be
enjoyed before 1t happens. but one
of the most intriguing offerings of
the tourism industry for early 1910
will be the International Travel and
Cruise Show to be staged In New
York. Announcement Of the event
came yesterday from the American
Steamship and Travel Agents Asso-
citation, after the idea had been
mulled over for years.
Considering the exhibit from the
standpoint of up-to-the-minute
transportation and recreational
facilities, the show will be the first
held on a grand scale. Seventeen
years ago, which is almost a genera
ton, world travel such as it was in
the early 1920's was concentrated
In such display. But that was
day when Pullmans provided the
only luxury in train travel, when
Nnart liners Of the Atlantic catered
almost solely to upper crust tourists
and when planes of the sketchy air
lines were almost as shaky as the
persons who dared to enter them.
Transportation has undergone
startling renaissance since those
days. Jokes of the immovability of
rail car windows have been rele-
gated to day before air condition.
ing brought cool comfort to trains,
and, now, even superliners. Stream
lining has glamorized the iron horse,
sleeper planes have dramatized the
progress Of speed and reliable aerial
travel, shipboard life has been re-
1uvenated by decks built especially
Tor outdoor recreation at sea and
luxury cruises" at low costs have
kept In step with the publc's de-
mand for better travel for less
money.
A world travel will be scaled to fit
the Grand Central Palace and pic
tured graphically for vacation win
dow shoppers. A company expert
enced in expositions, stagers of the
International Flower Show, the
Chemical Exhibit and the Power
Show, will present the event, which
Is scheduled for next February l

Pay Day May Be Delayed
For Shifted Workers

A delayed pay day was a possi-

counting Office and Treasury rushed
to get checks out by o'clock.
The disbursing Office of the Treas

employees of the Bituminous Coal
Commission, which has become a
part of the Interior Department,
might not be paid because their
pay roll was received only this
morning, although it was added
every effort would be made to
clear it.
Of1icials at the Social Security
Board said similar delay was pos
slble in the case of some 600 en-
ployes OF the United States Employ
nent service, which was shifted
from the Labor Department to So
cial Security in the reorganization
II the delay comes about, officials
explained, the checks will be issued
not later than Monday.
At the General Accounting Office,
" there has been some delay in
iferring appropriations under
the reorganization, it was said that
so far as is known everything now
has been cleared up, although 1t
was added there is a possibility some
