lergic to the air-borne impurities
that come in through a window will
appreciate this feature deeply. Hav-
ing one room into which to go for
comfort in a dust-ridden, pollen
populated atmosphere is a blessing,
when you have been sneezing and
breathing with difIiculty all day.
And even If you do not suffer from
hay fever, breathing clean, fresh air,
air that circulates without drafts,
is important.
A new feature of the portable unit
we have in mind is its side vents
which temper the incoming cold air
by mixing it with warm room air.
In very cold weather just open the
side vents and you won't feel cur
rents of cold air in your room.
The air may be directed in its flow
by adjusting the front louvres of the
unit. In winter you can send it
toward the ceiling to circulate the
warmer air that normally gathers
there. In summer you direct the air
toward the floor to keep the cooler
air in the room moving.
All In all, there is no reason for
being self conscious about this new
air conditioning every one mentions.

conditioning are inexpensively feas-

seasonal aspects of air conditioning.
There are three other functions
which operate all year round, three
which may be purchased separately
from cooling. decentralization,
heating and humidification. We
refer to ventilation, air cleaning
and air circulation.
These three year-round functions
OF true air conditioning may be
performed by portable window
unit on cold winter days, on hot
summer days, and on all the days
which fall between these two ex-
tremes. Indeed, an important fea-
ture of the portable unit adds an

Rough Roof Adds
To Home Appearance

A roof constructed of material
which is very thin and which lies
fiat, and in which there is very
little evidence of pattern, adds little
to the appearance of a house. At
the opposite extreme is the rough
textured roof, full of patterns and
shadows, which can make almost
any house good looking.
A heavy roof of tile, slate or stone
is almost prohibitively expensive for
the small home. But there is an
inexpensive way of securing for your
house the good looks of a heavily
shadowed roof-the use of heavy
wood shingles or split shakes.
In no other material can the
necessary thickness be secured at
price consistent with the average
small-home pocketbook. It is the
deep shadow lines of thick shingle

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

How far do you have to walk after
you have turned off the light in
your bedroom to climb into bed? Do
you bump your knee on the vanity
bench, cropping through the dark?
Don't you wish you could see your
way to bed and then have the light
snap itself off?
You can do just that if you install
one of the new delayed turmoil
switches. This is switch which
may be adjusted when it is installed
to postpone the swapping off of a
light from 20 to so seconds after the
lever is snapped. 1t affords time to
lock the garage and enter your
house, to go from bathroom to a
bedroom in the light, to wind your
watch and cross the room to bed.
Good idea. isn't it?
The switch looks like an ordinary
toggle switch. fitting standard
switch boxes. The mechanism con-
sists merely of stop between on"
and off" which holds back the
shut-off for the desired time. 1t
works with bulbs of 40-Watt mini
mum and 25O-watt maximum. Its
construction meets requirements of
the approved electrical standards
and underwriters laboratories.
The switch which delays darkness
costs about 81 and can be installed
in about five minutes with nothing
but a screwdriver to do the job.
Why risk falling over stools, chairs
or rugs when such a simple remedy
is possible?
Installing tiled walls in your
kitchen or bathroom usually means
removing old plaster before the tile
can be set. The mess of preparing
walls for tile has deferred many a
home remodeler from essaying the
improvement however longingly he
or she gazes at real clay tile as a
possibility.

Sees Business Boost
Of 25% So Far in 80
Six Mortgages
On Big Housing Projects
Accepted in Period

The Federal Housing Administra-
tion's District of Columbia Office
handled s5,0O0.O0O more business
during the first nine months of 1899
than in the comparable period last
year, an increase of rs per cent, the
local F. H. A. Office announced here
today.
Small home mortgages selected for
appraisal during the current year
January through September-num-
. bered 3,17l and amounted to ST.
856,200, compared with 2.453 mort
cages amounting to $14,154 300 for
the same period in 1888. These fig
ures cover the small home mortgage
business in the District. together
with adjacent counties in Mary
land and Virginia.
In addition, during the nine
months period the Federal Housing
Administration accepted for insur-
ance six mortgages on large-scale
rental housing projects in this area,
amounting to s5,245,0O0. This COM
pared with four large scale mort
cages for S3,235,00 in the 1888 Pc
riod. Projects approved in 1899 pro-
vide 1.476 dwelling units, compared
with 926 in the 1888 period.
Title I modernized loans reported
by lending institutions in this dis
trlct during eight months of 1899,
through August 81. numbered 2,SO3
and amounted to $l320.92S. Lend
ing institutions have 80 days in
which to report these loans to the
F. H. A. During 10 months period
IN 1888, March through December,
local lending agencies reported 4,587
modernization loans amounting to
$2O49,612.
OF striking Importance in the small
home mortgage insurance volume is
the fact that IS per cent of the mort
cages this year cover homes to be
constructed under F. H. A. inspec-
ton. A smaller amount. or about
81 per cent of the total, covered new
homes in 1888. This percentage of
new homes is among the highest for
any area in the country.
Mortgages accepted for insurance
by the District Office during the nine
months of 1889 numbered 1893 and
amounted to S7,954,6OO, compared
with HOB mortgages amounting to
$6,32200O during the same period
OF 1898.
Much OF the difference in volume
between mortgages selected for ap-
praisal and mortgages accepted for
, insurance is due to the considerable
activity OF operative builders in the
District of Columbia and its en-
vlrons. Mortgages covering these
properties may be accepted condi-
tlonally but they cannot be accepted
Tor insurance or appear in the "ac-
cepted" figures until they are sold
to acceptable mortgagors.

We have just heard about a new
method of installing clay tile which
eliminates the necessity of tearing
out plaster walls. A "a s-inch- thick
plywood backing is nailed to the wall
through the plaster into the stud
ding. After the plyWood is in place
it is waterproofed and special real
clay tiles are nailed to it. These
tiles are squipped with metal disks
with channels for spacing. The
tiles fit into these disks by means
of their slotted corners and these
are held solidly in even rows against
the backing. The joints between the
tiles then are filled with white or
gray cement, to give the finished
wall the appearance of tile set in
the usual way.
The plywood backing is said to be
u per cent lighter than cement,
which ordinarily is used to hold tile
against a wall. so it does not tend
to pull heavily at the plaster and
crack it.
In fact, the light weight of the
construction is one of the chief ad-
vantages of the system. 1t not only
serves to guard against cracking of
plaster and breaking or Grazing of
the tile, but reduces the cost of
real clay tiled wall And don't for
get, none of the nuisance of remov-
ing old plaster is involved.

Stock Averages

NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-Leading
stocks overcame early selling bar
riers in today's market and, in the
final hour, resumed the recovery
push of yesterday. Closing gains,
centering principally in industrials,
ranged from major fractions to more
than point.
Many traders who got in on We'd
nesday's bulge, best since october
II, cashed profits after an opening
advance from then to the start of
the last hour. Most of the pre-
ceding days favorites were unable
to get anywhere in particular.
Business news was all on the side
of the bulls. and, with wheat futures
shooting up to around the Sl-a-
bushel mark and other commodities
displaying forward inclinations,
commission house customers took q
more cheerful view of trends. Divi-
dends and earnings helped brighten
the picture Tax selling provided q
brake The European war dis
patches again failed to unsettle
sentiment
Notwithstanding frequent SLOW
downs in the markets pace. trans

CHICAGO, Dec. Wheat futures
shot up to cents a bushel today,
December contracts soaring to 99la,
highest for any contract since Oc-

The top prices, reached shortly

quotations slipped ~ cents from
the days best levels
Buying was based largely on much
lower estimates of Argentine pro-
duction coupled with poor prospects
in the domestic hard winter wheat
belt. Milling interests and exporters
we're in the market.
Despite the late setback, wheat
managed to close with net gains for
the tenth consecutive session. Final
prices were 5s-15s cents higher than
