On Hotel Licenses

Why q District hotels operated
all last year without licenses con-
tinued unexplained officially today,
but indications at the District Build
ing pointed to backlog in the Office
of the director of inspections.
The director, Robert H. Davis, re-
fused comment, however, and re-
ferred questions to the committee
appointed by the Commissioners to
investigate. The committee is
headed by Budget Ofacer Walter L.
Fowler.
The lag in the issuance of licenses
was reported to the Commissioners
yesterday by superintendent OF Lii
censes Edward e. Bailey, jr. Mr..
Bailey said that while all hotels had
applied for the licenses, none OF the
more than 70 licenses had been is
sued permits for the current year
which began November /, and 81
went unlicensed all last year.
Before Mr.. Bailey can issue the
papers the Establishments must be
approved by the director of inspec-
tions and also by the Office of the
fire marshal. Health and police in
spectors also inspect the premises.
Health Department officials said
Is hotel applications for licenses this
year are being held up pending some
improvements In the kitchens, but
that all of last years applications
sent there had been cleared.
The Office of the fire marshal said
no applications for this years IL

then being constructed at Eleventh

Memorial M. E. Chapel after John
Douglas, for whom the church to-
day is called, objected to its being
titled for him.
Members of the class at the or

dition to Mr. Lighter, were G. S.
Garretson, secretary. and Messrs
Wesley, Rock, Kaighn, Miller, Lam

During the early years the chapel
was associated at different times

it became a separate charge.
The present name was first printed
in the 1885 minutes of the Baltimore
Annual Conference. The change in
name resulted from Mrs. Sidney v.

Methodist Episcopal Church. The
deed also stipulated that a me-
mortal tablet, dedicated to Mrs.
Flora P. Douglas, be permitted to
remain there, or in any new church
that may be erected on the site
thereof. Mr.. Douglas, local builder,
had been active in the early years of
the church.
The first unit of the present struc-
ture, including basement and first
floor, was erected in 1898 at the time
the Rev. S. M. Hartsock was pastor.
Nine years later the auditorium was
dedicated, the Rev. G. c. Bacon
then being minister. The moving
spirit behind the edifice was John C.
Yost, prominent local builder.
During the passionate of the Rev
Clarence H. Corkran, 1882 to 1899
the facilities were enlarged by put
ting a full basement under the
church with class and departmental
rooms and an office.
One of the memorable events at
the church was the attendance of
President William Howard Taft in
1911 at the 127th annual meeting of
the Baltimore Annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr.. Taft responded to words of
greeting extended him by Bishop
Anderson, who was presiding.

 The modern cabinet sink gener- ally includes a heated towel drying rack, a place for soap, securing pow der, steel wool, soap chips, dish cloths, etc. A combination stopper and strainer can close the basin at the outlet and turn it into dishwashing compartment.
 Other popular features include a garbage disposal unit which is con- sidered a must" in today's scheme of living. Most housewives feel that they would exclude luxury items rather than eliminate this sanitary method of garbage disposal.

Space Saving Essential in Planning Suburban Type House
Many People NeedonIy One Room

Home builders and home buyers are used to speaking in terms of fairly ample homes, depending, of course, on family needs, but what about people who have no fam ily"?
 According to Practical Builder, Chicago, there is a real need for some new thinking along these lines. There are many groups of people for whom much smaller home would be not only perfectly ample but actually preferable to larger home. This home would be espe- elally suitable for the young couple without family. the older couple whose family has left home, and the career man or woman with domestic leanings.
 A home of this type is not neces- sarlly an economy measure. It makes for easy housekeeping and convenience for the person to whom making is not an all-day task. Although the house is essentially one room it need not be small. The overall dimensions may be as large as a home of several rooms, if you desire, but the open plan offers much more living value.
 Planning your one-room cottage can be real adventure in modern space-saving devices. Naturally. since your home must be com pletely compact, it will be important for you to investigate all kinds of bullt-ln equipment = bookcases. shelves, wardrobes, a built-in dress ing center in the bathroom to con- tain ample space for your linens. one wall in your combined living dining sleeping area can be en- tlrely built-in, centered with a fire place with book or knick-knack shelves on one side, and radio photograph combination on the other. A small portable bar could it in snugly and conveniently at the wall next to the radio. Your bed will be one of those pieces that make an attractive and comfortable couch by day and pleasant sleeping at night. Additional storage space can be gained by utilizing the space below the built-in window seat.
 Cooking facilities will, of course. be enclosed by screens, sliding doors, cabinets or other movable parti- tions. A small dressing center can contain several built-in Wardrobes and a full-length mirror. If you don't intend to be strictly modern and have a fat-roofed structure, the space below the roof can be built to contain storage space for bulky and seldom used articles.
 If you are a person for whom a one-room home might be suitable. consider it's merits seriously. sug- gests Practical Builder. It will al ways be a good rental investment. should you decide on larger quarters at some later date, and, properly designed, it can be expandable for future family additions. And in the meantime, you will have your own home with privacy and garden space that few apartments can offer.

There is a crack in the joint be- tween our built-in tub and the wall. How can I repair this?

Clean the crack out with sharp tool, removing all loose plaster. This crack can then be filled with 2 flexible mastic, which you can ob- .ain from your building material dealer. Also your builder can cover this joint and end your trouble for all time by using the attractive plastic or metal holdings manufac- tured for this purpose.
