Architects Take
Prominent Part
In Convention

Detroit and Michigan architects
who are attending the seventy
third annual convention of the
American Institute of Architects
in Yosemite Valley. Cal. Saturday
were taking prominent parts IN
deliberations.
The American home was hailed
as the nations first line of defense
by William F.. Kapp, whose firm,
Smith. Hinchman a. GryllS is en-
gagged on several large government
projects.
1.-THE American home as the
first line of defense Is not an
empty phrase and never has been
for the American family" Kapp
declared. I'm Colonial days back
of every stOckade was the home
and in each home was the fire
side about which the family
gathered to plan the needs of
themselves and the defense of
the country. W.
To-day the expression of that
spirit Is seen again, and in other
respects the concern for the
home as an institution has tran
scended individual ambitions, to
become a national policy that
has only been accumulated by the
defense program"

Designer Tells
Building Aims

You don't achieve sense of
spaciousness or comfort in a home
by a few little tricks or loud
colors, but simply by creating the
whole house so as 10 express that
which lends itself to a richer,
more harmonious mode Of living,
Karl d. Getchell. Detroit designer
and builder who specializes. in
contemporary designed dwellings,
declared Saturday.
Getchell who built the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold NJ. Towne,
pictured al the top Of this page,
said he believes many people want
something different in a home
that they want an interior which
doesn't give them the mental feel
ing OF humping their elbows on
the walls every time they turn
around
In the Towne home. Getchell

Housing to Change

Emil Torch, president of the De-
troit chapter American Institute
of Architects, predicted that this
nation is on the threshold Of the
biggest change in housing that the
world has ever seen. He predicted
a big increase" in housing con-
struction and declared that "the
last five years progress is nothing
compared TO what we will see in
the next five years"
Torch termed a house "a machine
for living in" and urged prospec-
tive builders to consider the use 10
which each room is to be put
before making plans, just as in
modern industrial plant design the
first plans are not of buildings but
of the flow of materials.
Malcolm r. Stirton, secretary ol
the Detroit chapter, reported tC
convention delegates on the newly
formed student branch Of his
chapter at the University of Michi'
gan. He said:
'In r world that Is largely
given over TO destroying. modern
architects are conforming to a
new trend I'm creating. Future
architects at the University of
Michigan have discredited the
almost universal act of home
builders of paging through count
less magazines looking for beau
tiful eXteriors and then finding
that their ideal floor plan will
not fit"
The evolution Of the quickenet
pace of the national defense pro
gram will significantly change tn
character of buildings. Branson '
Gambler of Detroit told the assem-
bled delegates.

Repair Time
Ready Furnace N o u
for Winter Use

Summer care of the heating
plant will prove a big factor in
efficient and healthful heating
next Winter.
When the furnace is closed
down for the warm weather. water
should be drained from the boiler
and a small fire burned under it
for a few minutes to dry the
boiler. This step will prevent for
nation of rust.
Flues and drafts should be
cleaned, the inside of the coal
hopper cleaned and reprinted if
necessary. and metal parts should
be dried to prevent rusting.

Badly Damaged

Fire of undetermined origin partial
ly destroyed large garage in rear of
the company store of the Stanley Coal
Company at Crellin about 2:30 o'clock
Wednesday morning, and damaged
three automobiles beyond repair.
The automobiles belonged to Don
Colaw, George limbaugh and John

Harold Ream, was taken from the
garage and a store truck was partial

car out. In the meantime the alarm
had been turned in and the Oakland
Fire Department arrived in record
time to partially save the building and
prevent the spread to other buildings.
The direction of the wind, it was
said, was the only thing that saved
the Stanley Supply Company from
being at least partially consumed.
There was quantity of lumber
above the garage space, and it is be-
lieved the fire started there.

'CANDIDATESFOR

NOW APPEARING
His Widow Formally Becomes A
Candidate; Several Republi-
cans Are Being Mentioned

With the tragic death of Congress
man William D. Byron, which occurred
in an airplane accident near Atlanta,
Georgia, on last Thursday morning,
there is already much discussion as
to his successor, both by Republicans
and Democrats, because, according to
law, it is necessary that an election
be held to determine who shall be
chosen to fill the vacancy.
Mrs. William D. Byron formally
became a candidate to succeed her
husband and revealed that "a great
many friends of my late husband and
myself have prevailed upon me to

have no political aspirations what
ever other than to fulfill my hus-
bands plans for our district during
the uneXpired term"
The Democratic committees of the
five counties comprising the Sixth
District were reported to have agreed
to offer Mrs. Byron the nomination.
Their recommendation would be sub
ject to approval by the State Central
Committee.
The name of William Preston Lane,
Jr., of Hagerstown, former Attorney
General of Maryland, has also been
brought up for discussion.
Among Republicans the discussion
centers upon several, including Wal
ter P. Johnson, famous baseball
player of Montgomery county, who
was the Republican candidate last
tall, but who lost the district by sew
eral thousand votes. Mr.. johnson has
stated he does not intend to be
candidate
A. Charles Stewart, of Allegany
county, defeated by Byron in 1898, has
stated that he would accept the nomi-
nation if the State Central committees
of the five Western Maryland counties
select him as their standard bearer.
State Senator Robert Kimbfe, Allie

considering entering the race as an
independent candidate.
Thus far no meeting has been called
for the State Central committee eau
Gus, and members of the Garrett coun-
ty committee are not committing
themselves as to their preference.
