house may be- planned for survival
in spite Of all the games Of "cops
and robbers" If you will take into
consideration the natural flow Of
traffic. If there is no other way to
60 from tie back door to the front
sidewalk except over flower bed
planted with annhals with few
Towering shrubs at convenient in
ptervals you will find that the big
children will jump the flower beds
and the toddlers land in the middle
of it, and that there will be a travel
strip 1orn bare of grass between
the Shrubbery that no amount of
seeding will cover up.
To avoid this, plan your walk
and driveway at one side Of the
house, so that the children will have
tendency to go that way as the
porch opening faces id that direc-
ton. Cut of with heavy planting
or a barrier circulation around the
house both at the front and rear.
Set aside a suitable place for the
sandpile. for the listle chill
dren and a smooth lawn area
for the "pigtail crowds" cro-
quet, ard set your flower garden at
tie back of the property line or
along one side of it where there is
no opportunity or incentive to 60
through it.
If you have side porch off your
living room or dining room reserve
this area for grownups and the lawn
and garden adjacent to it may be
arranged for adult use and enjoy
ment, but don't make it necessary
for the children to go through it to
get to their play area If you expect
to keep it for yourself.
This does not mean that we think
children should be seen and not
heard and that they should not be
permitted the freedom and enjoy
ment of their own home. The impor-
tant point is that If you plan before
they work out their own ideas you
may direct their action so that they
do not intrude or destroy without
In any way appearing to curtail
their freedom of action. You will

Stairway. Prokenns.
Consider the stair to the second
story and make the climb as easy
as possible Wide treads and short
risers make a trip upstairs more
like an escalator than mountain
climb, and, doctors will tell you, do
more for a mothers health than
any other single stem Of house con-
struction., Ip case you have never
noticed the difference try the stairs
at Mount Vernon, or Kenmore and
learn why stairbuilding was great
art of the 18th century. At least
one landing saves many a bad fall
for q toddler and adds to the grace
of the ssair as we'll. Avoid wall
paper in the stair hall for the first
few years, so that you need not

his hands off the wall.
When you plan the upstairs, If
you expect to take care of your chill
dren without the aid of a nurse,
arrange the doors from your room
to the children's room so that q
step or two takes you to their bed
side. Keep in mind, too, that the
stair we'll should be as far removed
as possible from the natural cir
culation upstairs, so that a small
person on the way to the bathroom
has very little opportunity to fall
down stairs in the dark.

Real Estate Boards
To Map Facilities for
Defense Program
Housing, Office Space,
Warehouses and Sites
To Be Listed Over U. S.

A plan for the compilation imme-
diately, in principal cities of the
country, of local record of the
housing facilities, warehouse space,
industrial areas and Office space
available there which might be
needed in connection with the de-
tense program has been initiated by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. The association this
week asked each of its member
boards in 457 cities to appoint COM
mittee on the making of such rec
ord in its community and urges that
work start as soon as possible to put
the information on tap.
"The defense program will, sooner
or later, affect every community in
the country, either directly or
through the shifts which it eventu-
ally will cause in schedules and in
location of military industries" "
officers of the association point out
in making the request. Availability
of factual material may become nee
esSary at any time in order to de-
termine the letting of defense con-
tracts or the necessity of creating
new factory or dwelling facilities
The association has offered its
services and the services of its men,
Der boards to the National Defense
Council and the defense housing
co-ordinator as channel for draw
ing upon the existing resources of
the country so far as possible and
as speedily as possible for defense
needs. Much of the information
wanted is already in the hands of
the real estate boards, it is pointed
out. No standardized method of
tabulating the information is at
present felt to be necessary.
The Cleveland Real Estate Board
has already completed an inventory
of the type suggested. The Ohio
Real Estate Association, at its re-
cent annual convention in Colum-
bus, urged local boards throughout
that State to list all available manu-
featuring space, industrial land,
office space, dwelling facilities and
farms. by classes, the data to be kept
ON file for use if and when the de-
fense program needs workable in
formation on these resources. The
Real Estate Association of the State
of New York at its recent annual
convention at Lake George under
took survey of industrial space
available for defense production pur-
poses in the State ano of housing
facilities available in relation to such
production. The State association
plans to coordinate the information.

step-saving uses in your life with

After 10 years, when the budget
says it is time to remodel and re-
decorate, and the children's schedule
has changed, the downstairs play
room may become a study where
good light and reference library are
at hand for the teen ayers. It may
also serve as an extra living room
when either grownups or children
are entertaining. For this reason
we suggest that you do not open
1t into the living room lest the quiet
and privacy Of each room be dis
turbed >. but into the hall. There
need be no structural changes in the
house to make it just as convenient
for the adults and the older chill
dren as 1t was for the tiny ones,
but new color scheme, more
sophisticated wall and window
treatment and more elaborate up
holstry and rugs will change the

DALLAS (ANP)- Because OF
the action of the city council last
week. two colored families were
forced to move from their newly
purchased homes. The families in
volved are the George Jonnsons
and the c.. l.. Walkers who moved
recently into a white neighbor-
hood after having to vacate their
former homes two months ago to
make way for the new loW-cost
housing project now being built.
AS soon as the families moved
into the white neighborhood their
homes were stoned and bombed, all
this in spite of the police protec-
ton they were supposed to have.
AS a result the city council voted
$1,000 last week to purchase Walk
er'S bungalow and to move the Ne
gro families The money was turn
ed over to City Manager James w.
Aston to whom the responsibility
of settling the matter was given.
Many colored citizens view the
moving of the two families as
blowing to the mandate of the

Negro Employment Now At
Lowest Ebb> AMP Reveals
Given "Run
Around" Is
General Belief

WASHINGTON -(ANP) - The
plight of the American Negro is
just about at it's lowest state
as far as employment in gainfui
occupations is concerned and If
the figures showing the large NUM-
ber of Negroes on relief may be
accepted as true.
There seems to be no remedy for
this condition, for with attempts TO
get jobs in the government service,
both clerical and professional
handicapped, the status of the Ne
gro in the new democracy is pitt
able, although few realize it.
One case in particular comes to
the public which shows how the
Negro is given the run around and
ma1treated.
A young woman, native of Mas
sachusetts, took the Stenographic
examination. She was third On the
list with a very high average. She
received four calls to come to take
jobs, all by telegram and in each
instance she was given some flimsT
excuse that she was too late or
mistake had been made Later she
sought the sponsorship of a certain
senator. The senator phoned one
of, the departments which had call
ed the young woman and he re-
ceived the very frank reply "You
know, senator, We do not hire Ne
groes in this department.
Shortly afterward, the young
woman received a call to come to
her home town in Boston where a
position in the alien registration
awaited her. Her own statement
follows:
my job here has not proved to
be what it was supposed to be. In
the first place, the staff appointed
was entirely too large for tn;
amount of work to be done, ano
then the aliens have been rather
slow in coming to register. There
fore, we were cut off eight hours to
six then to four, and now four
hours every other day.
"Too, 1 have been unsuccessful in
getting an appointment in the
federal government since I've been
home, although I have received
three requisitions and another one
yesterday. The first three were al
the army base here, the selectlve
/ service, and the social security
board. The one for which had an
interview today is in Fall River or
North Adams, Mass, at the Boston
Chemical Warfare Procurement
district Of the war department III
connection with the defense agency
The only Satisfaction I got was al
the state selective service Wherf
they told me they had decided tc
use enlisted men to do the clerical
