Ironing Board
Takes Less Space
By HiIson Munsey

In many homes, place for the
ironing board is difficult to find
and yet 1t is very necessary part of
the household equipment.
One type which will answer many
of the objections to the conventional
board needs only a wall space of IA
inches in width and the thickness
of standard studding. 1t is 57A
inches high. That is the size Ct the
rough opening that would have to
be cut into the plaster wall Of an
old home.
1t IS intended, of course, to fit be-
tween standard studding. Size is
not the main advantage however
This ironing board is built on a
swivel principle that enables the
board to swing in a wide arc, max
ing it possible to turn the board into
the easiest position for working and
to get the maximum amount of light
possible. 1t also can be installed In
/ a wall Immediately behind a door
because when it is in use it can be
swung away from the door so that
it will not interfere in any way with
the free passage into the room. The
swivel is operated on a cast alumni
mum support that will hold the
board firmly in any position and
prevent sagging.
Screening to Keep Out Sun.
Window screens of the ordinary
type are not designed to keep out
anything but insects, but there is q

Req Estate Editor of The Sior

The argument over the relative
merits of the factory-built house
as against the traditional house
of conventional construction RACES
on, but one thing is certain: More
factory-built houses are in produc.
ton or contemplated today in the
District area than ever before.
The best obtainable estimate Il
that 400 are or were completed ir
the last year and half, and that
a start on several hundred others
is contemplated this year.
Until the war ended, the type
home rather loosely described az
'prefabricated" was a comparative
rarity. You encountered them few
and far between in this area.
Projects Underway.
But today there are at least three
developments now under way ir
which the factory built house is the
sole type of dwelling. 1t is in this
type of housing development thai
the factory built producers are most
interested since it is easier sal
around for them to deal with one
builder.
Also, it's usually possible to achieve
a. lower cost when a group of houses
are built, one after another by the
same group of workmen. This is
true also in the case of a large
scale conventionally-built develop
ment.
Strictly speaking, there are few
of the so-called prefabricated houses
now going up which do not require
a great deal Of work along conven-
tional lines.

First Aid
For the House
By Rooer G, Whitman

Question: We have a log cabin
up North. The logs are unfinished
and we need to close up the cracks
between the logs on the outside.
How should this be done, and what
should be used to. preserve the logs
and keep them in a natural finish?
Answer: Drive large head nails
into the logs along the chinks,
around which the chinking can
harden and lock itself in. Wide
spaces should be packed at the
bottom with oakum, before nails are
driven into the logs. An excellent
chinking is made of / part Port
land cement, 3 parts coarse sand,
and l part hydrated lime mixed
with water to a stiff paste.
My preference for a finish is
two or three coats of good spar
varnish. eSYou would do well to
look for insect damage; if holes
are found, squirt kerosene into
them with a hne-spout oil-can.)
If you do not like the glossy effect
of varnish,l apply two coats of a
creosote shingle stain. .

Log Cabin" by Chilson D. Aldrich.

District Builders Stepping Up
Factory-Made' Home Output

"Prefabricated" may mean that
the complete house is built in a fac
tory and shipped in one package
ready to be put up. Even then,
however, it needs a foundation, sew
er connections, provision for elec-
tricity and other work.
May Only Mean Lumber.
On the other hand, "prefabri-
Gated" may only mean a house
whose lumber is precut, ready tc
put together, but which is without
wiring, plumbing, kitchen equip
ment, roofing or other elements. In
such a case, construction is virtu-
ally the same as that for the wholly
conventional type-the big differ
ence being that the lumber has al
ready been cut to size at the time
| it reaches the site.
"Prefabricated" also may mean
the house is made of new types OF
building materials, such as steel OF
aluminium. Or it may be of frame
which makes it indistinguishable-
so far as materials are concerned
from the type of home built solely
| by conventional means.
In the District AREA, factory-built
houses of varying degrees of "pre-
fabrication" are under, way. In only
a few cases, however, are there de-
Ivelopments in which new materials
play. p big part. Examples are
Tauxemont, below, Alexandria, where
an aluminium house was chosen by
the builder, and Virginia Heights,
on Leesburg pike, near Baileys
Crossroads, where the builders
choice was an all-steel job, SO per
cent factory built.

House seorCo-operative
Apartment! Each Has
Certain Advantages
By w. Wodsworth Wood

The present housing situation has
developed two schools of thought for
the prospective home-owner. He can
buy property and build a small house
or he can buy cooperative apart.
ment.
If he elects to be a cooperative
owner, he will own a part of q large
structure, pay certain amount Of
all OF the average home-owners
chores.
He will not have to worry about
the fuel situation, the taxes, assess
ments or general upkeep of his
property, as long as it is under ef-
ficient management. With the safe
guards which have been thrown
around this type of operation, he
should be quite secure.
Individual Decision.
On the other hand, If the home
owner is interested in any kind of
individual expression in his home
and his immediate surroundings, he
might be better off for the same
amount Of obligation, to invest in q
private dwelling where he could do
as he pleased and improve his home
to suit himself.
At the present moment, many
people are trying to arrive at q
decision as to whether they will own
their own home or share one with
others. Both sides of the question
have merit, and it must be decided
by the individual.
The couple who are basically busi-
ness people without a family, and
who have varied social obligations,
may well be better off in the CO.
operative apartment where none Of
their time is consumed on lawns or
flower beds or by heating or plumb
ing problems.
Fairly Equal Financially.
The couple with definite family
ideas and without too many social
ambitions, may be better of In o
small house. .,.-.,,--,', ~.
From the financial standpoint,
things are fairly equal. After the
initial payment on a cooperative
apartment-which is about the same
as that required for q one-family
dwelling-the monthly charges will
about equal those Of the family
dwelling.
