How TO Measure
Attic for Room

Any home owner wishing 10 fin
ish his attic into room can
quickly determine whether there
is space for one, or how large II
can be. First find the points at
which four-foot walls would come,
then measure the distance be-
tween the two points. This will
give the maximum width OF the
proposed room.
The height of the room will be
determined by the pitch of the roof.
The minimum height for headroom
is six feet six inches. Eight feet is
high enough for all practical pur-
poses. The four-foot side wall is
permissible as the center area of
any room is usually used for stand
ing. When seated, the average per-
son requires little more than four
feet of ceiling height.
Attics usually have a pitch OF
either one-third or one-half. An
attic "a feet wide with a one-third
pitch will accommodate a room
u feet wide and 6l2 feet high.
With the same width but a one
half pitch. the attic can be made
into a room 10 feet wide and s
feet high.
The average attic can be made
into a room with little prepara-
lion. Large sheets OF insulating
hoard can he nailed directly To the
lrafters and to a framework con-
Meeting with the rafters at the
wall and ceiling points. If Turing
strips are applied first, the inSulat'
ing board may be used in any oi
its attractive pre-decorated pane
or tile shapes.

BY HENRY GEMMILL.

Ninety-nin years old today,
Christian Heurich, Washington'S
well-known brewer and temperance
advocate, is willing to live as many
years more-but would place a bet
that civilization will have vanished
by then.
Despite what is said great bat
ties will spring up again after the
current war is concluded: they will
step up in shattering intensity, he
believes.
Softness of the worlds populations
is at the core of the disaster. Spoiled
by good living. people are eaten
with dissatisfaction and unrest
hatred.
This bearded little man is still
tough as spike-sustained in
cheerfulness by three principles:
Work will kill no one"
Live and let live"
Every man his own doctor"
Keep Up Pace.
Philosopher Heurich was in full
vigor, when interviewed yesterday,
although he had not retired on the
previous night until l am. After
brief sleep, he arose in time to be
at his Office in the fortress-like
waterfront brewery at 8:15 am, as
is his invariable custom. He had
returned to the private study in his
New Hampshire avenue house
where he pores over personal rec
ords. studies naval tactics and
nature notes. He was preparing
for a trip to his farm near Hyatts-
vile. Md. for an inspection of more
than 100 blooded Holstein cattle. In
spare moment he tousled the ears
Of his great dane, Terus, and scold-
ed one of his best friends, Pretty
Boy, gorgeous green and gold
parrot that croaks and screams at
his elbow.
Always an original thinker, Mr..
Heurich has deliberately thrown
confusion upon his actual age-by
insisting that today is his Tooth
birthday.
He arrives at this figure by
counting the day of his emergence
into the world as his first BIRTH
day"
Another Heurich theory Is that
your physicians judgment is worth
less than your own.

Wrote Recollections In German.
In 1884 he wrote a book in Ger
man, Aus Meinem Leben'-recol-
lections of his life-and now, as he
gets older, he finds himself able to
think more clearly in his first tongue
than in his adopted language.
He still has the sheets Of paper
upon which he practiced writing
English upon his arrival in Amer
lea after the Civil War.
An impoverished young man. he
apparently took to heart bits Of
business advice scattered through
the grammar exercises. One asked:
DO you lend your money with
out INTEREST,""
81 lend my money at 6 per cent
interest" was his reply, in precise
script.
1t was by investing in building as
sociations his earnings here. as an
expert brewmaster, that Mr. Heurich
saved enough to begin his firm, over
three-quarters of a century ago.
"I worked myself out of nothing
is his boast.
Five Cakes for Celebration.
The birthday celebration today

D. {. Firm Asks Tax Rule
On State Land Deals

10 v. Morgan, the Districts one
man Board of Tax Appeals, dis
closed today that he has been asked
to settle the question of whether
the District can legally tax real
estate transactions by local firms
that are made in Maryland and
Virginia.
The problem was posed in pro-
test against payment of income
taxes totaling $825.92 for 1899 and
1910, filed by Weaver Brothers, Inc,
Washington real estate firm, which
claims these taxes were levied
against transactions conducted out
side the District.
In its protest, the real estate COM
pany said it has paid taxes on the
same transactions to both Virginia
and Maryland.
Mr.. Morgan must decide whether
the municipal government can levy
tax on the sale of property in
Maryland or Virginia by a local
firm, and whether the District can
tax the entire income of the trans
action or allocate part of the tax
to the State in which the sale Is
made.

5MunicipaI Agencie,
Ask Total Increase
OF Only S11,492
Tox Collectors Office
Seeks Largest Boost;
Assessor Suggests Cut

Struggling with departmental
budgets running into millions of
dollars, the Commissioners probably
found it refreshing today to receive
1943 budget estimates from five
municipal agencies calling for an
overall increase of only s11 ,492
above this years appropriations.
In fact, one of the agencies, the
tax assessors Office, recommended
that its budget be cut by $40 to
$3.50, ,720, and another, the Board of
Tax Appeals, estimated its needs at
S14,O40. the same figure provided in
current appropriations.
The biggest increase sought by
the other three agencies was a
$4,44O item requested bS the tax
collectors Office to permit employ
ment of an additional senior as
sistant cashier and a clerk-caShier
and to provide for pay roll realloca-
tions. At the same time however,
the collector asked for S298 less for
purchase of cash registers and safes.
OF the $3.50 fund sought for this
purpose, s2,500 would be used to
buy a new safe for the main Office
to replace the present one, which
is too small and has defective mech
arism, the estimates said. The
total asked by the tax collectors
Office is s66,75
More Asked for Pound.
The poundmaster, seeking an in
crease of S4,130 over the $12,4
provided for the pound this year,
recommended that his salary be
raised from s2,400 to $4,000, that
S2,160 be provided for two additional
laborers needed to put into service
an extra truck now standing idle.
and that S1,770 additional be made
available to purchase more dog food
and for coal and other supplies.
The poundmaster requested a 5000
salary increase to partially restore
q cut made in 1888. At that time
the salary was reduced from $1,000
to $4,000 per year.
The auditors Office submitted
budget estimates of $130,l20, which
is an increase of s3,240. This is to
provide for full-time employment
of an additional audit clerk and one
junior clerk.
Pier Extension Sought.
The Commissioners also received
today request for $35, 900 for re-
placement and extension of Pier No.
2 at the Fish Market wharves. The
city heads were told that this prof.
ect is necessary to meet the needs
of the rapidly growing population.
Other estimates placed before the
Commissioners today included $751;
161 for repayment of funds loaned
by the Public Works Administration
for local construction projects (this
figure is s63,16l more than the
amount provided for the loan re-
payment this year,; $500 for an
emergency fund to be used in case
of riots, peStilence, flood, fire or
storm; $4,000 for refunding money
enormously paid for taxes, special
assessments, rents, fines, fees, etc,
and $4,000 for advertising delin-
uuent taxes.

He remembers the 1848 revolu-
ton in the land of his birth. In
