Large Rooms Suggest
Twin Double Beds

For those who have always felt the
average twin bed was too narrow
for ideal sleeping comfort. the new
idea for twin double beds will be in
teresting. These are feasible only
in the large room, but the headboard
type is neat and trim looking.
No more space is taken in the
length of the bed. The extra few
inches in width takes little from the
room space, but adds immeasurably
to sleeping comfort.
Naturally, If space saving Is an
item in small bedroom the few
extra inches needed for a double
bed would be just that much too
much" But most master bedrooms
have one wall planned for bed space
and double beds may be as con-
veniently used as the usual 39-inch
twin bed.
These look very neat and trim
with an upholstered head board; no
foot board and carefully tailored,
fitted bedspread. The bedspread
may extend just over the base of the
mattress and show a gathered petit
coat OF light weight material below.
Quilted chintz is a favorite for the
spread.
Flower sprigged material or a gay
plaid may be used for the petticoat
and the headboard Old fashioned
pillow "shams" with the cover of
the quilted material and a ruff1e of
the figured cloth will make a very
Well-dresSed bed.

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

The fact that some landlords and
home owners in Washington object
to women roomers is quite an in
dictment Of the city's hospitality.
1t also annoys the ladies and, when
they might have been the quietest,
meekest little "roomers," at this
point they are on their toes, watch
ing for any slight.
There is much to be said on both
sides Of the story-but the impor-
tant thing is to work out some plan
promptly so that girls who are
working here under many difIicul-
ties may have some Joy out OF life
and, at the same time, permit the
landlord to exist.
For the record, let it be said that
women are not more "difficult" than
men, In the long run. But one OBJ
noxious female can make life 50
unpleasant that her glory is re-
f1ected over a wide area. Certain
people have never learned the fine
art Of give-and-take which makes
1t possible for them to live with
others-and that is just as true of
Mrs. Jones little boy as it is of
Mrs. Smiths little girl.
Ingenuity Needed for Thrift.
It is we'll known that womens
salaries are lower than mems and it
Is necessary that they use ingenuity
to make their dollars 60 further
One way girl can save is by laun-
dering her own raiment No woman
Is going to trust her stockings or
her fragile blouses to a laundry
when she lives on a budget. It is
a simple matter to whisk these
things out. It would be reasonable
for the landlord to offer facilities
in the house laundry to make this
Job easier. 1t would be Just as
reasonable by making arrangements
to do washing and ironing at con-
venient times and to limit her laun-
dry to light, fragile things.
Best solution to the whole prob
lem would be for both renter and
landlord to have a complete under
standing Of just what is expected
Of the other. These arrangements
and facilities might be different in
every private residence, boarding
house or apartment house. But a
reasonable understanding of the
needs and wishes of both parties,
with an ounce Of hospitality thrown
in. often settles difficulties.
Women should be good guests.
They are supposed to know the
difficulties of operating a guest
house and and how to avoid them.
They usually like their quarters to
be attractive and are willing to do
something about 1t themselves
They should understand that maid
service is much restricted these
days and be willing to stretch
point to look after their rooms even
though they are supposed to be
paying for service
Men, on the other hand, unless
essentially neat, have been hope
lessly spoiled by parents, too much
boarding school, or college, where
1t was smart to be careless. The
collection of soiled clothes, bath
towels, books. papers. magazines.
cigarette stubs and other scattered
Items that face the maid each
morning in most mems rooms are
enough to make her quit on the
spot-and she often does.
Since life is more difficult for
every one these days, the small
amount OF tolerance and comfort

that one human being can orfer

item OF convenience that the land
lord may offer to make the day
easier should be appreciated by the
roomer. Any consideration that the
guest offers In the way Of making
less work in the household and re-
specting the rights OF other renters
will make everything easier.
This town Of ours has q real prob
lem to make room for q nearly 100
per cent increase In population.
Many home owners are doing more
than their share in trying to make
pleasant living quarters for thou
sands OF workers who are putting

Those Satisfied Are Silent,
There are instances OF unlairness
on both sides, but for every one of
these there are hundreds in which
the Golden Rule Is applied.
Sick roomers, those In financial
straits or those in other personal
dificulty, in many cases are treated
In the same way by a landlord as
he would treat a member of his
family. The satisfied customers are
seldom heard from.
There Is no reason why any one
should put up with a guests un-
mannerly or careless personal be-
havior. Careful attention of both
men and women to a few things
their mothers tried to teach them
about respect for others rights would
make life a Joy to the landlord.

the market to compete for and bid
up consumer goods, thus tending to
have an inflationary effect. to avoid
which is the fundamental purpose Of
the OPA and the rent control law
which 1t administers.
If there are communities in which
unfair practices have been followed
(the metropolitan area Of Pitts
burgh Is not one of them, no meas
ure for their correction should be
adopted without due regard for It's
effect upon the Nation as whole.
Chicago-Absolutely no need Of
one third down payment and 30
days notice as means of prevent
ing evasive sales in Chicago area.
Particularly penalized are those de-
fense workers and other civilians
who have saved enough to make a
10 per cent down payment on a
home
st. Louis-The effect Of the regu-
lations is complete paralysis of
home sales. The purchase Of
home for self-occupancy is anti
inf1ationary
Mobile-The requirement OF 50
large a down payment as one-third
Of the purchase price places such a
heavy burden on wage and salary
earners, ambitious and thriftily de-
string to own home, as to discour-
age any attempt at accumulating
such a large amount.
Louisville-Practically every day
the members Of our board have calls
from individuals who are ready and
willing to buy property but who
cannot buy property under the new
ruling. Any steps taken to relieve
such condition is for the better
ment of Americanism and our way
of life.
Claim Assets Destroyed.
Tulsa-The regulations destroy
the greatest asset America has
home ownership. For 10 years there
has grown up and been established
IN this community a usage or Gus
tom that sales Of homes be made
on the basis of 10 per cent cash.
A down payment requirement. OF 10
per cent would prevent evasive sales
in this community.
Syracuse-Of all sales made so far
this year approximately 80 per cent
would have been prevented by the
one-third down 90-day amendment.
The regulation affects mainly people
OF small income who have been un-
able during the post-depression Pc
riod to accumulate money for
large down payment and are, under
the amendment. going to be de-
prived OF the privilege OF home own
ership.
Grand Rapids-Approximately IS
per cent Of all properties sold in
Grand Rapids in the past 10 years
has been with only 10 per cent
down and the balance amortized
over a period Of 10 to Is years. From
board records. there has been less
than one-tenth Of one per cent Of
these contracts which have been
forfeited
Knoxville-We feel that those who
are guilty of circumventing rent
control should be punished, but feel
that 1t Is unfair and unnecessary
to apply this harsh requirement on
the Nation as a whole due to the
misdeeds Of few. A majority Of
buyers today are those who are d.
rectly or indirectly connected with
war work and such stiff require
ment makes it almost prohibitive
for these workers to purchase
home right at time when stability
of the family unit Is a necessity for
winning the war.
