QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Q. How can heat loss be reduced
in an unfinished attic?
A. II the attic is not used or
floored and there is no necessity
for keeping the space at a COM
Portable temperature, insulation
may be applied above or below the
floor joists Of the attic or in the
space between the joists. II there
is necessity for keeping the attic
heated. however. the insulation
should be applied above, below, or
between the roof rafters. Attic
windows should be weathertight,
and II there are louver or vent
openings they should be tightly
covered during cold weather.
Spaces between the studs at the
floor line should be boarded over
to block the free passage of air
from within the walls. This meas
ure is also precaution against
| fire.
G. What is meant by the term
cricket or saddle in connection
with roof construction
A. AT the back of chimney
which extends through a sloping
roof. the slope Of the roof is alter
ed in such manner that the roof
water is made to flow quickly
toward either side of the chimney.
This is usually accomplished by
building miniature roof sloping
in two directions. which prevents
the water from being damned up
by the chimney. This miniature
roof is termed a cricket or saddle.
They should be covered with a
corrosion-resisting sheet metal
and properly flashed with the
chimney and roof so as TO be made
watertight.

Better Homes,
Better Living
Nv The HOUSING EDITOR

The arrangement Of furniture
has a great deal TO do with the
INABILITY and charm of a home.
Home-decorating experts say
that every object used for every
day living should serve two pur-
poses: One OF utility and one of
beauty. Objects lacking either
one OF these two requisites do not
function to their fullest advan-
tage. Furniture must serve not
only a useful purpose but an
esthetic one az well. In short. it
must serve as decoration to the
room and at the same time be a
physical convenience.
Intimate grouping for CONVERSE
ton and relaxation is the keynote
in arranging the living-room furni-
ture, especially in the small house
where this room Is the center of
family life and guest entertain
ment.
For example, take the average
home on any evening: One child
may be playing. another study
ing: the man OF tn, family may be
reading the paper, or deep in .
problem or book, or just relax
ing: the mother may be doing one
of dozen minor household tasks
a guest or two may have dropped
in.
BY thoughtfully grouping the
furniture about the various cen
tiers of the room-the fireplace
radio. desk, or bookshelves-
each member OF the family car
pursue his particular interest,
without disturbing the others.
Care should be exercised that
furniture groupings are not placed
in the Zine Of traffic" through
the house. or else they will serve
as a constant source of awkward.
ness and annoyance.
Thus for every room of the
house 1t is wise to lay out a defin.
lite plan for furniture arrange,
ment which will take full advan'
tage OF the individual function.
Of all pieces and at the same time
preserve a unity Of feeling to,
gether with an appreciation OF the
family's habits.

Mechanics Of this cooperative

other metropolitan areas through
out the country.
The statement Is frequently

is becoming less valid as each year

includes information on the trend
of industrial employment. pros
pective population changes rental
trends. building costs. activity in
the real estate market, fore
closures. legislation pertaining to
defense housing. etc.
Since the beginning. the sp-
proach 10 the committees pro-
gram has been one OF utmost SIM
plicity." Smith states. Emphasis
has been on the accuracy Of con-
illusions reached rather than upon
perfection OF statistical data TO
the last decimal place.
One factor making for low
costs has been the large amount
Of useful data made available by
existing local agencies. In certain
instances statistical data have
been accepted in lieu of cash to
cover membership dues. In addi-
ton. much information, long
available but seldom or never
used. has been presented and in
terpreted.
The advantage Of having all
local real estate statistics coordi-
mated In one report and of being
able to fill gaps with field sur
veys financed by the committee
has been an important factor"

in 1888. William Green said. Mr..
knudsen laughed at the efforts OF
the A. F. OF l.. TO organize the mo-

On one Of his regular bi-annual

knudsen's active resistance to

the settlement agreement. He has
