perviSing engineer to assistant

ish King and Queen and for the
President and all celebrities visit
ing Congress. In addition he had
charge of the general admlnlstra-
tive work of the Capitol Building
and such other duties as might be
assigned by the architect
Congress feels it has been fOrtu-
nate in securing the permanent
architect in New York State. He
becomes the technical adviser to
Architect Lynn and in line of sue
cession as career man.
Mr.. Kramer came to Washington
in 1928 to take charge of the con-
structlon of the Commerce Depart
ment Building, then the largest Office
building in the world. He was con-
sultant to the architects of the In
terstate Commerce and Labor and
Post Office Department Buildings.
Next he was liaison officer on the
new Interior Building between the
Interior Department and the Public

Many Construction Tasks.
He was in charge of construction
of the Federal Reserve Building. con-
sultant on the Social Security and
Railroad Retirement Building, and
when this building was turned over
10 the Defense Commission and
Office of Production Management
and the Army he had the difficult
job of fitting them all in.
He was liaison officer between the
Public Buildings Administration and
the War Department on the Penta-
eon Building and laid out all the
feeding facilities for the Government
Services, Inc. During the war he
was sent to adjust the troubles of
the New England Shipbuilding Corp

production, and was on that job for
26 months. He was then a member
OF the Secretary of the Nays Public

Average Corn Crop

Delaware's corn crop this year is
expected to be about average ac-
cording to Claude E. Phillips, Uni
versity of Delaware Extension Ag-
economist. Early paintings of corn
are expected to return good yields,
but from late paintings only fair
yields are in prospect because of
cool weather during recent weeks.
Indicated production is 100000
bushels compared with 4,224,0O0
bushels last year and the ten-year
average of 3,918,0O0 bushels.
While harvesting this corn crop,
Phillips reminds Delaware corn
growers that they can also harvest
for themselves critical injuries,
loss of time and possible death un-
less they are careful. Farmers are
especially urged to practice "Safe-
ty First" in the operation of their
mechanical corn pickers. Accidents
in recent years with these ma
chimes should serve to remind all
farmers who operate these ma
chimes should serve to remind all
farmers who operate these ma
chimes to never attempt to clear
the corn picker while it is running
and to always have a shield cover
ing the power-take off.
Phillips advises farmers to fol-
low the practice he has observed
on the farm of J. Oliver Koelig,
Jr., near Newark, Delaware.
There is farmer, say Phillips,

Setting-up and judging of exhib-
its will begin at 10 a. m. Saturday.
The afternoon program will begin
with dress review, in which All

wheat crop, c. e. Ocheltree, State
Director of the Production and
Marketing Administration said to-
day.
September 2S, 1916 is the closing
date for purchase of insurance on
wheat. Every effort will be made
by the county committee or au-
thorized agents to contact all
wheat farmers in the county, but
those farmers not reached by an
agent are urged to visit the Coun-
ty Agricultural Conservation Office.
Crop insurance is a means by
which farmers can join together to
protect themselves if disaster
strikes" Mr.. Ocheltree points out.
Every year, unavoidable natural
hazards destroy somebody's crop.
1t may be yours-it may be your
neighbors'-but if you have crop
insurance, you can cushion the
blow"

can be used for outdoor dining
or entertaining. If desired, the
porch could be enclosed for use
as den or recreation room.
The dining room, which meas
ures llxl4 feet, is placed con-
venient to the kitchen and at the
rear to provide privacy and ac-
cess to the mountain scenery.
Windows on two sides give it
cross ventilation, a feature that is
also built into all three of the
bedrooms.
A 9xl2-f t kitchen, scienti-
fically arrai.. to save steps and
work, a large Utility room and
an integral garage complete the

chen and utility room windows
are set rather high in the interior
walls and open on the exterior
elevation almost at ground level.

concrete foundation walls. The
fiat roof and square outline add
much to its modern appearances.
Interior walls are plastered.
Floors are of hard wood.
Like many contemporary de-
signs, this Tennessee home is
less expensive than it looks. BY
using economical materials and
eliminating unnecessary frills,
the architects kept the cost we'll
within present government re-
strictions.
This home, featured in a re-
cent issue of Progressive Archi-
lecture Magazine, is built on a
lot which measures 120x240 feet,
but could be placed in less space.
An important feature of the de-
sign is that it makes use of
sloping ground which only few
years ago was believed unsatis-
factory for a home site.

Farm poultry fiocks in Delaware
numbered 618,000 during August,

reau of Agricultural Economies.
There were 1,246 eggs per 100 lay

layers on farms nationally totaled
a percent less than in August last
year, but IL percent above aver
age.
