Solves Difficulties.
The difficulties and discourage
ment we all have known in trying
to find an attractive small house
within the moderate price range
vanish into thin air after visit
to Wood Acres and the new Star
house. There has been criticism that
most of the small houses in and
around Washington were designed
without inspiration, and as long as
they were adequate to the needs of
the average family, their purpose
was served
The Silver Star house is notable
for the fact that every inch of
space has been ingeniously and in
telligentlv utilized, that family liv-
Ing in this house may be dignified
and gracious at the same time it is
healthy and happy, and the ma
chinery of housekeeping and enter
tanning run gently on natural rou-
tine
The house presents welcoming
cool interior with summer rugs. sheer
curtains and gay, f1owery slip covers,
and with its vista of wooded acres of
trees in their natural state is a
pleasant spot to come home to-
Impression of Spaciousness.
The front door opens directly into
q spacious living room with a SUM-
shiny butter yellow paper on the
walls, which, carried up the stairs,
gives an effect of spaciousness. The
wide doorway into the dining room,
the door onto the porch and the
view of extending green grass and
trees beyond add to this impression.
The dining room has an attractive
paper with scenic medallion on a
gray ground which is very nice be-
yond the yellow living room. The
draperies in dining room and living
room are alike and the whole house
is finished in maple.
The living room is gay with a sofa
and large chairs covered in flow-

Kitchen Time Saver

1t is suggested that a receptacle
built on the inside of the kitchen
door with an opening sufficiently
large to receive groceries and other
packages delivered during the course
OF the day will be convenience and
a time saver.

enough clothing, enough shelter
and enough of the services which
are needed to keep its citizens
well and happy. The productions
of abundance, achieved for the
first time in all history has
brought us to the verge of starva-
ton and panic because of inabil-
ity to transfer the necessities of
life from those who produce to
those who consume.
The situation created without
question demanded a new govern
ment, government based on new
ideals, moved by new purposes
and aiming at new detectives.
The record of the New Deal
proudly presented to the American
people included the immediate re-
peal of national prohibition, tena-
ciously chung to by the Republican
party through fear of public opin-
ion, unemployment, then estimated
at Is million and evidenced by
breadlines in all big cities greatly
reduced. Employment other than
farm work increased by 9 million
not counting 21a million on federal
relief work. Business, then flat
on its back, revived through bill
lions loaned by R. F. c. and other
federal agencies and through vast
ly increased purchasing power of
the people. Banks, then in col
lapse, now the strongest and SAT-
est, their deposits the highest in
history. Investments then unpro-
tected, now safeguarded.
Housing, then a serious national
problem due to the building slump
and the unchecked growth of city
and rural slums, greatly improved
through building and repair of
hundreds of thousands of homes.
Labor, then suffering from low
wages and salaries. Legislation
that shortened working hours, es-
tablished minimum wages, assured
collective bargaining, and banned
child labor in interstate commerce.
Security, then lacking to mil
lions of the aged, the crippled,
the blind the unemployed and to
dependent children now assured
them through the many benefits
offered by the Social Security Act.
For Republican propagandists to
claim that such legislation is only
the current manifestation of a
movement that has been steadily
on its way since 1887 is too alb
surd for REPUTATION.
