Firms Accepting F. H. A.
Looms Increase in l94l

The number of financial institu-
tions originating F. H. A. insured
home mortgages continued to in
crease during the first three-quar-
ters of 1941. while the number OF
institutions holding such mortgages
in their portfolios increased at an
even faster rate, Federal Housing
Administrator Abner H. Ferguson
announced today.
Thus both primary and secondary
markets for insured home mortgages
are broadening further, Mr.. Fergu-
son said, as they have done con-
sistently every year since the F. H.
A. was established.
AS of September 80, 1941, lending
institutions financing mortgages &C
cepted by the F. H. A. for insurance
numbered 8,027, a gain of 242 over
the 7,785 originating institutions as
of December 81. 1870 On the same
date institutions holding F. H. A..
insured mortgages in their port
folios (obtained through either
origination or purchase numbered

Commercial modern is the most
widely bought modern furniture in
this country today. The reasons are
that it fits into so many homes and
it provides the desired background
of many people.
In appearance it can be best de-
scribed as being sumptuous and
snowy In lines and proportion it is
rather heavy and massive, and yet
it is not without a certain element
Of grace.
Practically every means of dec
grafton known to designers are
used to make the pieces elaborate.
Unusual veneers, vividly contrasted,
are typical. So is the use of shiny
finishes, frets, holdings, rout lines
and marquetry. Special attention
is paid to the hardware, which fea-
lures the use of metals, plastics
and glass in a variety of colors,
finishes and tricky designs. Water
fall effects are characteristic.
Combination pieces, such as
chest-robes, dresser secretaries and
vanity desks, play an important part
in suite ensembles. Convenience

features, such as built-in bed lights,
diversified mirrors, cedar lined
drawers. utility trays. shoe racks,
desk compartments and ash trays
are integral parts of individual
pieces.
Commercial modern is functional
furniture with special emphasis
placed on elaborate decorative ap-
peal.

Nentilating the Attic.

II your attic was stuffy and hot
last summer and you thought
vaguely of getting lowers installed
TO bring ventilation to the top of the
house don't wait until spring TO
order the ventllatorS. Get them now
and have the advantage OF winter
ventilation. besides being all ready
for the next siege of hot weather in
1912.
Ventilation is important in win
ter. because if warm air collects IN
the attic and is not carried away
through controlled openings. con-
densation of moisture can take place
when the weather becomes very cold
outside. This means musty odor
and sometimes deterioration OF the
materials of walls and roof.
There are attic ventilatorS in
vide range of sizes, from 8X8 inches
TO 1896 inches, in square, rectangu-
lar. half-circle and quarter-circle
shapes with built-in screens and
costing from about Sl.50 to S. or s6
each. The less expensive attic ven-

tilted so that rain will not enter the
attic while air will. The more ex-
pensive ones have adjustable lowers,
which can be opened or closed to
admit more or less air, depending
on the weather.
The lowers may be installed in
frame or masonry houses. Some
are made to fit exactly in the place
of brick in a gable end of a dead
air space. Some of the louvers come
painted, others merely primed. to be

Meadowbrook, Inc, of which Mon

Star Homes and is developing Land

houses in 1910 than any other in

most frequently used room in the
house, it should be provided with

the kitchen is so poorly lighted and
ventilated as to impair its usefulness

If your family has grown since you
bought the house.
All this can be done by means of
disappearing stairway. Through
a hole cut in the attic floor. you can
install sturdy stairway which
when not in use, slides up into the
attic, out of the way. The stairway
Is installed on roller brackets, with
steel cables winding on spring drums
TO balance the weight of the stair
and to aid in raising and lifting the
stair easily. The ceiling door is
strongly constructed and cookbook
ing and allows plenty Of head room
for the moving of heavy objects into
the attic.
The disappearing stairway lies on
the attic floor when it is at rest, and
It's position there is what holds the
ceiling door tightly closed. Naturally.
YOU must allow an unimpeded floor
space in the attic about feet long
and 212 feet wide for the stairs.
Space between attic floor and roof
should be 6 feet high, directly above
the stair, to allow for pivoting when
opening and closing.
Two models of sliding stairs have
come to our attention. One has an
extra large ceiling opening 2 feet 6
inches by feet inches and stair
treads inches wide. 1t costs about
$50. The other is a serviceable, mod
rate-priced stairway adapted for
limited spaces. The ceiling door is
smaller, 2 feet and 4 inches by 4
feet inches. and the stairs do not
project as far into the room or hall
as the larger stairway. This costs
about $40 Both are equipped with
hand rails for safety.
