low-cost dwelling they had seen.
This committee is headed by James
S. Taylor of the Federal Housing
Administration and includes Charles
c. Koones, president of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board; Edwin H.
Rosengarten, builder, member of the
firm of Davis, Wick & Rosengarten,
and Irwin S. Porter, prominent
architect.
Foundation walls Of the new home
are OF 8-inch concrete, cast in one
piece. Termite shields are placed at
the top Of this wall. The floors are
OF oak. Bathroom fixtures are of
porcelain-coated steel. The wooded
lot upon which the house Is set

Standard Properties now has 78
houses IN process Of completion. The
firm has ground for 600 houses.
These homes range in price from
$3.50 to $4,000. Other developments
OF the builders include Fairfield, in
Prince Georges County, and Syca-
more Hill, near Glen Echo. The
firm gained national recognition
when the Architectural Forum, q

year carried an article about Syca-
more Hill. This entire development

America Becomes Land
OF One. Family Homes

America is becoming more than
ever q nation Of single-family
homes.
During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1941, about 81 per cent
OF all dwelling units built with pri-
vate funds in non-farm areas were
houses OF this type, as compared
with 78 per cent the previous year,
according to the forthcoming annual
report Of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board to Congress. Con-
struction through Government funds
was not included.
This development, which started
with the recovery of residential
construction in 1885, is contrary to
our experience in the upswing Of
previous building cycles" the Bank
Board report says. For example,
the proportion Of new dwelling
units contained in apartment houses
rose substantially in the period 1922
to 1928. Construction Of one and
two-family houses remained rel
atively stable.
The 194l gain In single-family
home construction was made at the
expense Of multi-family housing
developments. The number of new
single-family dwelling units pro-
vided during the year totaled 497,-
23O, an increase OF 32.4 per cent
over the previous fiscal year. The
total volume of units provided in
multi-family structures, on the other

Home is Q word which carries
greater depth Of feeling than almost
any other in our language. When
spoken, the soft roundness OF the
tone gives warmth to voices as
raucous as q crows. One can hear
1t uttered In surprise, delight and
sorrow, and no matter what the In
flection-even in disdain-it cannot
lose its roundness or its tone.
Home! AL mans struggle has
been for its establishment and pres
ervation. Nothing down the corri-
dors of time so marks mans tgno-
rance, progress or decline. From
cave to castle and on to present
days 1t manifests the tenor Of the
times. To some q shelter only from
wind and rain; to all, sanctuary
when day Is done.
This inner urge for q retreat
where one can be ones self and bar
the pressure of the outer world Is as
old as man himself. And 50 Is

The Washington Building Con-
gress is inaugurating campaign to
conserve the tremendous amount of
waste paper used by the building
industry such as the paper bags in
which mortar, cement and plaster
are delivered and the corrugated
boxes in which such things as rock
wool, plumbing and heating fix
lures are packed. 1t is pointed out
that in view of the current shortage
of paper it Is important for builders
to save the large amount of waste
now burned on the job.
Allan H. Graeff is chairman of
the congress Paper Saving Commit
tee. He Is assisted by George v.
Graham and I. c. Murray. Details
of the plan were worked out by the
committee at meeting with Paul
Cabot. o. P. M. conservation Off
cial: Thomas L. Smith of the waste
paper consuming industry and Maj.
H. N. Gesmer Of the Salvation
Army. Maj. Gesmer said his Or
ganization will make frequent COL
lections so that the paper will not
prove fire hazard.
Mr.. Graeff said an idea of the
amount of waste paper which can
be saved under the congress pro-
gram may be had from the fact
that 100000 bags of mortar alone
were shipped throughout the coun-
try in September. A bag weighs
about a half pound
Manufacturers and dealers are to
be asked to stamp the bags and
delivery tickets requesting that the
paper be saved. Statesmen will re-
mind customers to save the bags
each time they take an order. Mr..
Graef says the idea has met with
an enthusiastic response already.
Material dealers will receive from
the congress details of the plan
within the next week.
