ton. There is nothing critical about
the curves, so long as they are
smooth. The back panel can be ap-
piled in two sections, if necessary,
SO long as any butted joints fall on
a stud or the intermediate cross
member used as the top frame OF
the door. The door itself is hinged
to the corner stud, since it is bit
the stronger of the two.
Adding Cornice Molding.
The roof is made of SO by 49,
inch sheet of the pressed wood. Be-
fore it is nailed in place coat the
top edges of the frame with thick
white lead to make the joints water
tight. The final job is adding the
3-inch cornice molding to the front
and two sides of the store. Miter
the corners and nail the molding d.
rectly to the framing.
This molding does not follow the
pitch of the roof on the side but is
squared with the upper edge of the
side panels, as previously mentioned.
A coat of paint is necessary be-

applied. The l by 3-inch strip goes
over the upper edge of the panel.
The rear section of the frame car
rieS the door. This is set on one
side, as shown, and measures IA by
46 inches. The door frame, made
of by Is, is covered with the piece
of pressed wood sawed out OF the
sheet used for the back covering.
Use 1-inch nails in applying the
panels to the frames and space them
about inches apart.
Nails Fasten Parts.
The by 3 by 48 inch floor beams
are set on the studs inch from the
bottom ends. The flooring is made
from 36-inch Stats of the same stock
spaced half inch apart. All parts
are fastened in place with wire
nails and there is no necessity for
using mitered or mortiSe and tenon
joints. When the frame is set up
it will be shaky and most unsub-
Stantial.
After the panels are cut and
nailed in place as described above,
however, the whole assembly will
become rigid and strong. The side
panels are exactly the same and
measure SO by go. Don't cut them
to the angle of the pitch of the
roof. The decorative molding trim
to be applied later will cover these
protruding ends.
The lower front panel is % by 48
inches, allowing a 1-inch opening
at the bottom, as previously de-
scribed After it has been nailed in
place, attach the outer support for
the shelf. Shove the shelf down on
these supports and faSten.

Protective Services
Offered Home-Se
OF Moderate Income
Financing Institutions
Assure Safeguards in
low-Cost BUILDING

Home seekers of moderate income
deserve protective services which
assure them of full dollar value, and
they can obtain them from an in
creasing number of home financing
institutions which are trying to set
the highest standards for their
communities, David Ford, assistant
governor of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System, declared today.
Explaining the purpose of the
Registered Home Service, a pioneer
effort to bring architects and quail
ned technicians more actively into
the small home field. Mr.. Ford
praised all progressive lending insti-
tutionS which are establishing home
building departments with the same
goal in view.
Even though today'S small
house generally represents a great
improvement over that of a decade
ago because of modern equipment,
the necessity of technical guidance
on design, planning and construc-
ton has been recognized by pro-
gresSlve thrift and home financing
institutions, which have installed
departments to provide protective
services he said.
Safeguards Assured.
There is great demand today
for low-coSt homes. an increasing
need for shelter the average wage
Garner can afford. Too often in the
past. such homes have been pro-
duced without adequate considera-
ton of proper design, INABILITY and
utility, and without proper safe
guards on materials and workman
ship, Persons of moderate income
need such safeguards most and a
technical service such as that offered
on registered homes is the best way
to insure them.
The Registered Home Service is
co-sponsored nationally by the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board. the
American Institute of Architects
and the Producers Council, leading
association of materials manufac-
tuners. 1t is available to the 5000
locally owned and operated member
institutions of the II Federal Home
Loan Banks who wish to offer it
in connection with regular lending
operations. A number of savings
and loan associations have adopted
this service already and others pro-
vide similar home building services
with the same general goal.
Value of Homes Increased.
Essentially, the Registered Home
Service consists of architectural
counsel in the selection of a design
suitable to site and neighoorhood;
planning for present and future
family living requirements; speci-
f1cation of proper building materials:
and supervision of construction-all
at fee commensurate with the
limited income of the average small
home seeker.
When a home is completed under
these protective features it can be
registered with the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board in Washington
and a mark of quality provided
through certificate which Identifies
the home as product which has
met the services standards. Need
less to say, such Identification adds
TO the homes value as an invest
ment, or for resale"

cancies have not completely van
ished. Except for it, housing condi-
tons would be acute. If 21,00 units
are built in 194l, accommodations
will be provided for almost $4,000
persons. 1t is said that Government
workers will increase by 10000 this
year. This means population in
crease of around 10000 to 10000.
TWenty-one thousand new houses
and apartments will almost take
care of this growth. The balance
can be handled in the many thou
sands Of rooms in private homes
that are coming on the market as
the demand for space increases.
Builders Keeping Pace.
Private builders are just about
keeping pace with the demands
made upon the industry by the de-
Tense program.
1t may be, however, that the city
will not grow as fast as expected.
Whatever may be the housing situa-
ton, whether it be difficult or impos-
slble to find the accommodations
that people need, it cannot be COM
pared to the lack of Office space.
Finding place to put desk is 10
times more difficult than finding a
place to sleep.
There are literally dozens of Fed
eral agencies which are so cramped
and so scattered that their efficiency
is greatly hampered. Many private
concerns cannot expand their Of
fees. Organizations which want to
make Washington their headquar-
tiers can find no room. As of April
Is only % of l per cent of all office
space was for rent. That EQUALS
about $4,000 square feet, or rs to 100
rooms.
Move Gains Headway.
This condition has resulted in a
revival of efforts to decentralize Ger
tain governmental departments. Its

advocates claim that many can
function just as we'll in city other
than Washington. They point to the
Social Security Boards main staff,
which has been located in Balti-
more since its organization. The
Government can find Office space
in other cities. 1t even owns some,
such as the Congress Hotel in Chi
cago, which has been acquired by the
r. F. c. That building would have
sufficient desk space for 5000 or
1000 employees.
With the present acute working
space shortage, this movement to
take some of the Federal Offices
away from Washington seems to be
gaining Roadway. 1t has some pow
erful hackers in Congress, such as
Representative SABBATH. chairman of
the Rules Committee.

roof is dropped two inches at the
rear to give sufficient pitch to carry

is unusually durable because it

LeBaron and his orchestra
