slightest doubt when you turned and
looked into the honest, rugged coun-

the conversation.

ing the nature of matters abroad.
We don't maintain blockades against
neighboring countries, nor Cypress
them, nor hold to mandatory powers
that cruelty handicap them. All the
nations of Europe HAVE been do
ing these things, snatching the spoils
of war, profiting by the sufferings
of sister nations, for more than 20
long years; or rather for more than
10 long centuries.
To live in continual war with your
neighbors is possible to any govern
ment. To live in continual peace is
also possible. The Americas, by
some fortunate combination of cir
cumstances, prefer the latter course.
1t is nonsense to say that you have
to fight if other persons fight, for
they have some reason for fighting,
and it is your job, in peace times,
to discover that reason, and to find
other ways of curing the situation
than the wholesale slaughter Of in
nocent boys. When a nation meets
war with war it is tacitly admit
ting that might is right; a theory
that we should have left behind us
1000 years ago. A theory, in short,
that we said we DID leave behind
us, when a certain Voice spoke on

That was Germany's hour of dark

and more nationalistic than ever.
This hour is dark for France. But
she has been conquered before; de-
spite all that any enemy can do In
her heart she will still be untouched,
and within another turn of the tide
she will be France again.
England Still England.
The Danes, the Saxons, the Ro-
mans, the Normans all conquered
old England in turn. The Hanovari-
ans and the Dutch came over to
rule, with the Georges and Will

Homes Committee was given the
new house. This committee of five
housing experts is headed by James
S. Taylor of the Federal Housing
Administration. as chairman. Other
members include Irwin S. Porter,
prominent architect. John Nolen,
jr., director of planning of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission; Edwin H. Rosengarten,
builder, and Fred A. Smith, imme-
date past president of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board.
The home is an outstanding ex-
ample of the type of house being
built in Westmoreland Hills, the
second highest hilly section in that
part of the Washington Area. The
property in the immediate vicinity
is cleverly handled for attractive
vistas, but the view from the up
stairs room OF the house out over
the colorful hills of Maryland gives
all the joy of country living. with
lntown facilities in the way of trans
portation, shopping areas, schools,
churches and theaters. But more
than this-the house itself is at
tractive. we'll planned and carried
out with a sympathetic attention to
detail which will delight the heart
of the future owners and make liv-
ing and entertaining a delight in
this house, which expresses all the
warmth and hospitable charm Of
the best Colonial architecture.
The front door Is wide. with mar
row windows at each side, and Is
set back slightly in colorful stone
wall. The warm buff color Of the
paint on door and windows and the
upper frame part of the house blends
with the stone, and the color in the
roof and shutters above gives sharp
accent to the whole.
Entrance Hall Wide.
The entrance hall Is wide and the
whole house seems to open up to you
as you step in. A broad staircase
rises to the second floor, the dining
room with its lovely watery-blue
paper is at the right and the living
room at the left. Sunlight pouring
into a -windowed room at the
back of the hall catches your eye and
draws you to the vista of rock gar
den and lily pool visible from its
window. This tiny room might be
breakfast room, cardroom or
morning room where sunlight would
start each day pleasantly. The wall
paper, in sunlight tones, with an
all-over design of birds, flowers,
dragon-flies and such, looks as
though it might have been dreamed
up from a collection Of old Bodlien
prints and is of increasing interest
as YOU explore its detail. It is espe-

are four bedrooms on the second
floor, with two baths, and a de-
lightful bedroom and bath on the
third floor for maids quarters. There
is also a large study with a map
papered wall, plenty of bookshelves
and storage closets and q view that
makes this one Of the choice spots
in the whole house for quiet work
or pleasant recreation.
Below stairs there Is also a play
room-which has been thoughtfully
planned. Brick used In the founda-
ton was carried up to dado height
then bordered with two layers Of
brick set out from the wall-and
above this point the bricks are
painted cream color. The ceiling

is much better below than above

this room.

deeper yellow. white and brown The
centers of the floor tile and the
narrow banding around the room
have a bronze appearance that Is
very nice. The other bath uses the
same tile with a blue-green paper
above with flowers in all shades Of
yellows and pinks. Here again the
choice Of color and paper is I'M
usually beautiful.
Deck for Sun Baths.
The bedrooms have ample wall
space and wide windows. The two
front ones have double closets and
the two rear ones large closets with
built-in shoe and hat racks. A sun
deck opening from one of the east
rooms would make an ideal nursery

has great depth. The halls, through
out. are In an white paper that
looks like antique white leather with
a grained surface. The living room
Is papered in stripes on an off-white
ground which is blended from white
to deep beige. Woodwork is an
tique ivory throughout the house
and is perfect selection from the
point of view of its use with every
color. Floors downstairs are gray
stained, random width oak. with
wooden pegs, and upstairs the same
finish in the narrow flooring. They
are perfect foil for color and rugs,
or are ideal uncovered. as they do
not show marks or dust from wear.
Living Room Spacious.
The living room continues the
wide, generous spaciousness appar-
ent on entering and opens onto a
covered stone porch and the garden

place opening is a wise selection, as

without discoloration and cracking
These small appointments are, OF
course, not necessary in thor
oughly efficient house, but there
is no doubt that the color of walls
and paint, the attention to hard
ware, the view from windows and
the placing Of closets and doors,
for which this house is noteworthy,
make it outstanding and guaran-
tees to the owners a lifetime OF sat-
isfaction.

the outside. that this house could
inclose 10 rooms as we'll as a rec
reation room and garage. There
