man said a tremendous amount of experimentation during the past 10 years has produced an amazing number of mechanical products as well as new materials for revolu- ticnary methods of house construc- kion which await only @ prosperous cycle of economic activity to realize wide acceptance. Here is his word sketch of such Q home:
 one living space flows into an- other. Movable partions and other devices will provide privacy within Q house when separate spaces are re- quired but will allow interiors to be used as single big spaces when this will better serve the purpose of the home owner.
 Compact types of heating and air conditioning reduce basement space necessary. Total floor area is smaller but the amount of space the family will enjoy for day-to-day living will be increased. The day ds not far distant when the home will have all its mechanical services concentrated in one small roosn-a kind of centrally located utility 'core" room akin to the engine room of e ship.
 Kitchens in tomorrow's house will be installed as single, compact units to surpass even the finest of those who know today.
 "Our next generations house may be heated with new type system that combines sunshine, electrical panels concealed in the walls, floors and ceilings and completely condi- tioned air, which may even be per- Sumed with @ succession of scents to suit the wlhiin of tornorrow's hos- tess.
 "New sanitary facilities are also being developed, notably the ready made bathroom in which tub, toi- let, and lavatory are stamped out of Q large metal or plastic sheet.
 "An installation of fluorescent lamps behind translucent panels can even today closely approximate day. light; and perfection of experiments now being made with plastics may well make possible the complete elimination of lighting fixtures as we now know them."
 These houses, as Sherman sees them in the future. will be largely manufactured in the factory, and erected in almost less time than 1t takes to arrange the mortgage on them" at cost almost as low as the automobile of today.
 Materials for these houses will in- cludo e wide range of colorful plas- tics, corrosion- -proofed metal alloys, and synthetic surfacing products, ac- cordtiag to Sherman.

no time has it been halted.
On my trip over the road I made
both the river crossings by bridge.
There was not the slightest conges-
ton at either place. Automobile
ferries made of gasoline drums now
stand in readiness at both crossings
to be utilized instantly in case the
bridges go out. Formerly the capac-
ity of these RATS was not quite ade-
quate for all arriving trucks. There
were long line-ups of waiting cars.
With new ferries built and building

The first of the two big bridges
we came to was the 300-foot suspen-

The bridge has been hit and re-

peated occasions. Yet the bridge we

same bridge the Chinese had built

is only 2,300 feet. On the way down
we discarded topcoats, coats and
vests. 1t was like going into an

caused by the fact that insufficient
