Charm Of Log House.
Adapted 10 Modern
Needs in Design
Bethesda Architect
Submits Another in
Series of Plans

The beauty of some of our early,
almost primitive, native houses has
been overlooked in its application
to modern dwellings, according to
v. T. H. Bien, Bethesda architect,
who today supplies the house plan
for the series made for The Star
by members of the Washington
Metropolitan Section of the Mary
land Institute of Architects.
The earliest houses in this coun-
try, at least in the North, were wat
tie, which is little more than par
tial excavation with a framework
Of saplings covered with turf, Mr..
Bien states. This was followed by
log structures of the familiar peeled
logs. This in turn was followed
by a log house made of timbers,
which were hewn roughly square
and fitted rather neatly and clev-
erly at the corners. The space be-
tween the logs, which in this type
Is considerable, was chinked in many
cases by stone, clay, or mortar. Many
Of this type survive even yet, and
may be seen in rural areas in this
vicinity. Some were later covered
with clapboardS or shingles. These
houses are very picturesque, quaint,
and with the right materials, should
be very durable.
House MOdernly Equipped.
The house submitted today seeks
TO catch this charm and adapt it
to modern needs. Partly to save cost
and to simplify construction, the
gables are of frame construction,
but with the shaggy hand-split
shingles in harmony with the rest
of the walls. The whole should
be painted white, preferably with
white wash, with some sort of aging
process on the logs.
Inside the house is thoroughly
modern in arrangement and equip
ment and designed to face a garden
or other desirable outlook at the
rear or living room side But this
Is no reason why the spirit which
one senses from the exterior should
not prevail throughout the interior.
With this in mind the floors should
be of wide boards, preferably pine.
Fireplace wall should be of knotty
pine boards, II to 18 inches or even
more in width. Walls on the first
floor may be either sand-finished
plaster or some sort of quaint, old
faShloned paper. Second-f1oor walls
should be conventional plaster and
paper. The small bedroom may well
be sort Of ships cabin with built
in. tWo-decker hunks and ladder.
Instead of holdings around the
edges of the bunk, heavy rope could
be used and in other ways the spirit
OF a ships cabin be carried out.
Other Types of Construction.
The house could have either a full
or part basement, and the porch
could later be inclosed for another
room and bath if desired and a
porch wing added at the rear, or
vice versa.
Otherwise, so far as structure is
concerned, the house would be more
or less conventional.
If one did not care for this log
construction, the walls could be of
stone, brick or even frame in COM
bination, perhaps, with one brick
end, which is also characteristic of
early houses in this region.
The cost. roughly estimated
should run $4,000 to $4,000, exclusive
OF the lot

Maj. Yoncey Sells
Estute at CuIpeper
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CULPEPER, Va, July 6.-Arling-
ton, the old Yancey home near here,
has been sold by Maj. James
Yancey of Culpeper and Washing
ton to Temple Slaughter, formerly
of Washington, who has recently
located here.
Arlington has remained in the
same family since early Colonial
days. 1t was part of a grant of
10000 acres owned by Charles
Kavanaugh, and much of this grant
passed into the Yancey family on
the marriage of Mildred Kavanaugh,
daughter of the grantee, to Lewis
David Yancey.
The large, old-fashioned ante
bellum home is of brick, set in the
midst of grove of stately trees,
and reached by an avenue of
naples leading from the highway.
The rooms are unusually large, in
the fashion of the day when it was

Tip-OHs On
GOOD
BASKETBALL
). SHORT SHOTS
A Christmas Story
BY CLAIR BEE
Long Island University Coach

Short shots may be divided into
four kinds: The lay-up. the cut
shot. the pivot. and the One-hand
shot from the field.
In the lay-up shot the ball IS
released from the fingertips Of the
outstretched arm at the peak of
the spring for the basket. The cut
shot. as a player cuts under the
basket. is made from the finger
tips, the player kicking with his
legs as he leaps into the air. As
the kick occurs. the player turns
his body toward the basket and
with a slight twist motion, aims
at an angle spot on the back
board. Spin is used when it is ne
cessary to overcome difficult an
giles.
For the pivot shot. used when
the player is standing near the
goal with his back TO the basket,
the shooter should first make
some kind of a feint. a twist of
the head or body That is follow
ed by an exactly reverse motion
and the actual shot. The one hand
shot. popularity known as the
Western shot. is most successful
when the ball is brought to pO-
sition directly in front of the face
and carried with one hand di-
rectly up over the head as the
player leaps into the air A slight
amount of spin is used. The shot
is especially effective from terri
tory Just behind the foul line.
