In reading over the chorus the
writer found the names Of q num-
Der of persons whom he never knew
could sing a note, and yet they
must have been able to sing some
or make a noise, at least-or their
names would not appear on the pro-
gram. It is interesting to see what
gay sports some of the folks we
occasionally meet around town really
were nearly 46 years ago, and the
writer Is going to let you read the
names of the members Of the cho-
rus, too. Maybe you might recog-
nize some familiar names, as he did.

When the hot nights Of last sum-
mer kept him from sleep he put In
many Of the long hours Of dark

would be to have ventilation from
more than one or two directions.
Today, after 1900 hours Of work
which began last October, he has =

three-way ventilation in each Of
the six rooms. In addition, each
clothes closet has window and
the hallway has been held to q
minimum to save space:
Richmond Carson Morford,
through An ingenious use Of odds
and bits available around the
apartment, held his costs to =
minimum. The model, II built as

would cost about 5000 exclusive

"Dick," as most Of the folks In the
neighborhood call the young me-
chanical engineer, seemed TO have
recovered, but several years ago
his hip became sti6 and now he Is
emi-invanded.
However, despite the handicap,
he carefully worked out his plans
for . home which would be cool
but inexpensive. After several
months Of drawing plans, making
changes, doing research at various
libraries, he secured q space in the
woodworking shop in the basement
Of his apartment house and started
on what at times seemed an end.

problem and the building vas then
resumed.
Mr.. Morford said the most
dimcult job Of the whole 'construc-
ton was erecting the stucco walls.
The frames for the walls were
covered with window screening, and
then the stucco was applied.
II WAS forced to use . light
trowel, . small stick, my pocket
knife and on many occasions my
fingers" he said. 1T was Z hard
job to shape the corners around the
windows, and It took considerable
time" he declared.

Ing room and kitchen in line with
two staggered, Offset wings. The
living room is In one wing and .
bath and bedroom in the other.
He figured that by eliminating q
center hallway he added 4 feet to
the living room Of the full-size
bungalow. II particularly wanted
to get away from having q dark
center hail." he said in describing
his design.
Basically the bungalow IS . modi-
ned California Spanish type with
. modern touch Of corner windows.
Evening star., 1940-05-12

Windows, he said, are on all but
two Of the corners. These are con-
structed of balsa wood and artificial
glass. Hanging in the living room
windows are miniature Venetian
blinds built to scale.
In developing his Spanish theme
Mr.. Morford included q patio in the
corner formed by the living room
and dining room. In much of his
work he called on 10 years of expert
ence in Southern California where
he worked for the Imperial Valley
Irrigation District. He came to
Washington nearly four years ago.
He developed q dual chimney
which serves 4 fireplace In the liv-
ing room and another in the patio.
The outdoor hearth Is q f1ve-six-
teenth-inch square Of individual. tile
laid In plaster. Flagstones were
simulated by $50 blocks carefully cut
out to form the patio base.
In describing how he stippled the
walls with = small paint brush, he
mentioned that as alternates the
walls for q full-size home could be
built Of brick or stone. These
could be used with equal beauty" he
declared.
The peaked root Is In one piece
and removable from the model walls.
He used . bado blade In Z circular
saw to cut the roof surface so It
would appear like prefabricated as
phak shingling. The double Chin
ney Is removable from the roof and
walls.
One day he Was forced to stop his
immediate work and take advantage
Of an opportunity to get some free
wallpaper and paste. Mr.. Bene-
detti was having an apartment re-
papered and Mr.. Morford rot the
paperhanger TO- give him enough
paper and paste to fnish the tn

that less than two feet Of paper

sections Of linoleum anchored with
real linoleum cement. The French
doors, which open onto the patio
terrace, swing freely on handmade
hinges. These are faced with Using
glass.
Back of the dining room is den
provided with q shower and lavatory.
The master bedroom has a tub and
shower. Adjacent TO the kitchen is
compact laundry room with an
entrance leading to the yard.
Construction Of the two-car garage
was similar to that of the house. It's
main feature Is door which swings
out Of the way to the roof. The lot
for the bungalow would be Y by IA
feet, he said. In his model yard Mr..
Morford has garden. lawn, pergola
and an outdoor grill fianked by 4
stone wall. The remainder Of the
yard is inclosed by trees and hedges.
To illustrate the ingenuity en-
ployed In making the yard, he cut
strips from an old sponge rubber
kneeling pad and dipped them In
green paint. These were used as
stems for the trellised vines. The
shrubbery was made by tearing
pieces from an old rubber sponge.
He tried cutting with shears, but
found torn sections were more life
like.
The three cedar trees which are
near the grill ct the back Of the lot
were made by. cutting up q sea
sponge. As work on the pergola
neared completion, he found he
needed . slender round piece Of
wood for the weather vane standard.
He went down to the corner grocery
store and bought . penny strawberry
lollypop. BY the time he got hack
to his shop the lollypop had been
eaten and the remaining stick be.
came the standard foa the vane.

DR.. Glazebrook is Virginian by
birth, but began his study of medi-
cine In the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, New York, and
gained early experience at the Long
Island College Hospital. He came
to Washington in 1892 and has
resided here ever since. In 1895 the
doctor married Miss Jane Threlkeld
Cox, . native of this city, and
evidently a connection of two old
Georgetown families. They have
two sons and a daughter.
After long and useful medical
career, DR.. Glazebrook retired from
practice, and since 1928 has been a
field worker of the National Com

The Low Down On
HICKORY GROVE

You do not pick up a paper,
or meet somebody on the street
without the first thing you hear
Or see. it is, what is wrong with
the country? But you do not
need a crystal bail or be a
Sherlock Holmes to deduct the
answer. -.
In the early days when this
country was growing up and
getting its feet on terra tlrma-
and was going to bed at 9 pm.
versus 4 a.m.-and our eye was
clear, we were a pretty sensible
outfit. And our grandpapaS built
up quite a U.S.A. for us.
To get a railroad into a new
country, or to get a bank opened
up so the folk would have a
safe place for their money. 1t
was quite a problem and when
somebody could be found to take
the risk, the old-timers gave
'em a welcome.
But today it is open season
on anybody with more than 2
bucks. SO money has lit out
for the tall timber, and it won't
be back till the atmosphere
clears up.
Brothers, and Sisters, it is as
plain as the handwriting, in
BalshaZzar'S time, there in
Babylon.
