Other noteworthy features of this
house include:
l. A separate entrance to the kitchen
from the street. Outside the kitchen
door, a low brick wall conceals garbage
and trash cans from the sidewalk.
2. Fireplaces in living room and mas
ter bedroom. The fireplace mantel in
the living room Is OF gray marble, and
in the bedroom, brick painted white.
3. Flat roof over master bedroom,
accessible by sliding stair and thus
usable as roof garden.
The house itself has interior dimen-
sions of 18 by So feet. It is heated by
a hot-water system with recessed con-
vectors. Floors are Of hardwood. Con-
sidering the narrowness of the lot, the
open planning of this house creates a
surprising impression of sunny spa
ciouSness.

Reol Estote Editor

MANY ROW BRICK houses are
AVA dark, crowded and largely carbon
copies of others on the street.
Here Is one in Georgetown that
is light, spacious and unusual.
Planning was needed to make it that
way. When David Norton Yerkes, the
architect. designed the house, he had
three principal objectives:
l. To provide maximum of sun
light and air, especially to the impor-
tant rooms
2. To afford adequate privacy.
3. To take full advantage of the
opportunity for a view of the garden.
The lot was narrow-20 feet wide
by 110 feet deep-and it had a north
ern exposure as it faced the street.
Mr.. Yerkes' solution, as you can see
by the floor plan, was to design the
house, so that the living room is at the
back, with the kitchen in the front.
Thus the living and dining rooms
are shielded from street noises, and
the rear living room has southern
exposure, maximum sunlight and a
garden view through q large window
area.
With a permanent partition, the
dining room would have been dark.
To avoid that, Mr. Yerkes arranged
the plan so that only movable screen
separates the dining room from the
living room. The screen Is suspended
from ceiling track. When the screen
is open, the dining area receives plenty
of light from the large living room
window.
Equally careful attention was paid
to lighting and view when the second
floor was designed
The master bedroom was placed at
the rear and given large window A
Sfanting roof and ceiling were pro-
vided for the center bedroom, so that,
at the maximum height of the ceiling,
clerestory windows could be placed
to let in the southern sun. For addi-
tional light and air, this room also
has a window in the north wall, open
ipr into Goht mall

U. 5. Backs Increase
In Greek Army 10
Fight Gueninas

ATHENS, Sept. 20. -. Premier
Themselves SophouAs announced
tonight that the United States
Government had given approval
effective Immediately, to Greece's
request for an increase In the Greek
army to fight guerrilias.
Mr.. sophoulis said he had been
informed Of the action by Dwight
P. Griswold, director of American
aid, who advised that the action
would result In curtailment of re-
construction from American aid
funds and who declared internal
security must be restored quickly
Il the Greek people are to benefit
from the rehabilitation program"
Earlier. sources close to the pre-
nlier had reported agreement in
principle between the government
and the American mission on for
nation Of national guard to take
over defense of rural communities
and villages from armed civilian
bodies and to free the regular army
for offensive operations against
guerrilhas.
Greece was reported to have asked
that the 1879 .000-man army be more
than doubled by the addition of
10000 regulars and 10000 national
guardsmen, the cost to be met from
American aid funds.
The premier's announcement said
~the governments request for in
creased military help for a pro-
visional and permanent increase in
the size Of the army has been
favorably considered and approved
by the American Government with
immediate effect"
He added that Mr.. Griswold
promised full support in order to
make effective both the amnesty and
the military operations against those
who do not take advantage of the
Governments offer to return to law
abiding life"
British Battalion Withdrawn.
Withdrawal Of a British battalion
from Salonika was announced today
by Mr.. Sophoulis, who said it marked
the beginning of the complete with
drawal Of British troops from the
country.
On London, War Office
spokesman said the departure of
the battalion was "a normal
move" and was not connected in
any way with q general with
drawal Of British troops, on which
he said mo decision has been
taken" The question of with
drawal of the remaining 5000
British troops has been under
discussion among British and
American officials.)

Drunken Pair Fined
After Wild Ride,
Face Grand Jury

A 20-block chase of a car occupied
by two drunken men who held their
course to the vicinity of Capitol Hill
led yesterday to Jail sentences and
fines for both as well as action to
hold them for the grand jury.
When police arrived at First street
and Independence avenue S.W. Fri
day night they found Stafford M.
Boykin, 35, of the 1000 block L street
NV, and Brady E. Thomas, SO, of
the 900 block Of Eighth street NV,
stretched out in the back seat.
Car Theft Charged.
Pvt. John w. Trotter of No. 4
precinct testified his investigation
revealed:
The men had stolen the car from
a parking lot and had had a near
collision at Third street and Consti-
tuition avenue NV. with q car
driven by LYMAN Sapoznik, 400
block of Ninth street NV. Mr.. Sa-
poznik pursued the car for 20 blocks
around the Capitol grounds and up
and down streets in the immediate
vicinity.
The chase ended when the fuei-
tives nearly collided with a streetcar
and their car stalled. A soldier Ieaped
out OF the streetcar and dragged
Boykin from behind the wheel and
pulled him to the curb.
The policeman quoted Mr.. Sapoz-
mix as saying the fugitive car had
barely averted "at least a dozen"
other crashes with other cars and
pedestrians.
Carried TO Patrol Wagon.
Pvt. Trotter said the defendants
were so drunk they had to be carried
into a patrol wagon and did not
revive for two hours later
Municipal Judge George D. Neil
son sentenced Boykin to 90 days with
a $3.50 fine or another 80 days for
driving while drunk, and fined him
an extra $3.50 in lieu of another 90
days for having no drivers permit.
Thomas was given 80 days in de-
fault of paying a $75 fine for intoxi-
cation. Both men were placed under
5000 bond on the car theft charge.
