Washingtons pioneer co-opera- :
tive apartment community is still
a going concern nearly 10 years
after it was built in what was then
virtually wilderness.
First resident of Hampshire
Gardens Apartments, bounded by
New Hampshire avenue, Third,
Emerson and Farragut streets, went
to bed to the baying of hounds on
a nearby farm.
Since then the city has spilled
out in all directions, leaving the
102-unit, privately financed, de-
velopment vine-covered island in
the midst of numerous row homes.
Today, about go per cent Of the
original purchasers remain in the
development.
Hampshire Gardens is q monu-
ment to one Of its longtime resi-
dents, Edmund j. Flynn, a leading
figure here in apartment co-ops for
over Is years.
Once Called "Flynn's Folly
When work began on the project,
which cost close to s5O0,0O0, it was
called "Flynn's Folly" by some who
saw no future in building apart
ments that people could call their
own.
1t had been planned originally to
expand the project to take in Sc
acres and to afford a completely
self-sustaining community. But the
crash of 1929 and resultant lack of
investment money put a stop to Mr..
Flynn's ambitious plans. In its

First Aid
For Houses
By Roaer G. Whitmon

Question: My home was shingled
last fall with a predipped brown
shingle. After the job was COM
pleted, I decided the shingles needed
an additional coat Of stain and, on
the advice of q friend, stained 1t
myself with one coat of prepared
creosote stain which I mixed $3.50
with linseed oil, with burnt umber
added for coloring. The shingles
looked fine after being done, but now
appear streaked and bare. Would
you advise an additional coat Of
the same mixture, or would another
kind of paint or stain be required
to give the shingles good finish?
Answer: If you bought prepared
shingle stain, I do not understand
why you changed the formula. I
suggest that you either give the
shingles another coat of the stain,
leaving it the way the manufacturer
made it, or else apply the following
mixture: 4 gallons raw linseed oil,
2 gallons coal-tar creosote oil, and
l gallon Japan drier. If the color
is not brown enough, add burnt
lumber in oil to the mixture.
Repairs for Basement Brick.
Question: My home has a partial
basement with a brick foundation.
In few places the bricks have come
loose and fallen out. I would like
to repair these places and put a
cement or stucco finish on the sur
face OF the entire brick foundation.

New SeIf-Contoined
Burglar Alarms Now
Available for Homes
By D. M. Derwin

The need for some forms of pro-
lection for occupants of the home
is greater today than it ever has
been. Numerous accounts appear
daily in newspapers relating stories
of robberies, kidnapings and other
crimes which were committed by
prowlers who forced their way into
homes. It is estimated that the
average home has from five to a
dozen or more danger zones"
through which providers can find
easy entrance.
A new home burglar alarm which
fills this urgent need has just been
placed on the market. Radically
different from any other device
in this field, this new alarm re-
quires no wiring, batteries, costly
installation nor repairs and is non-
electrical. 1t uses a spring mechan-
ism, similar to that of a clock, to
sound the alarm. Each window or
door where protection is desired
takes a separate alarm unit.
To operate, this burglar alarm
unit is attached to a door jamb or
middle cross piece of a conventional
two-sash window. with the bumper
arm protruding in such a way that
when the door or window is opened
a loud, clear, penetrating ring will
result.
The bumper arm which trips the
alarm has three neutral positions,
corresponding to 9, II and 3 o'clock
on watch dial. 1t is set in neutral
for winding. During the time in
which one does not wish this burg
lar alarm to operate, the bumper
alarm may be swung to the op-
posite side, permitting free use of
the door or window where 1t is
installed. One important feature
of this alarm is that it may be set
to operate on a window in any
desired position-closed, partially
opened from the bottom or from the
top.
A set of simple instructions comes
with each alarm and shows exactly
how this can be done. Only two
screws are needed to quickly mount
the unit in place. The alarm unit
cost is very reasonable. -..

Correct Placing Of the Garage
Adds to Beauty of a Home
Entrance at Reor
Often Improves
Lines of House
By Wodsworth Wood

Owing to the present high cost OF
building house, many OF the smsn
homes recently constructed have
been built without garages.
In many instances the garage has
been built later and without too
much regard for the effect it has on
the appearance Of the house.
There is nothing particularly good
looking about the gaping door Of the
average garage, and aside from that
fact, the exposed interior Is usually
quite disorderly with garden tools
and discarded household equipment.
The garage Illustrated faces the
street or road, and Is attached to the
house by q breezeway. Even though
the door were closed, the effect does
not improve the appearance OF the
house.
It would be better to have the door
face the side of the building plot
even though the breezeway had to
be eliminated. Where there is suf-
ficient ground available, it would be
better yet to have the garage en-
trance at the rear, and placing a
window in the wall facing the street
which would match the windows of
the house.
Without additional cost, the aver
age homeowner likes his house to
look as large as possible. It may be
noted by the illustration, that If
the garage roof ran parallel with
the house roof, that the whole as
sembly would appear larger than
though the garage roof was at right
angles as shown.
This is simply an application of
the old architectural rule that con-
tinued horizontal lines lend length
to house while break in the lines
fore-shorten the building.
Many homes which are actually
small, appear large when the garage
is extended from one side and a

Conservation Activity
Farmer-Sportsmen's department,
supervised by Kenneth Dearth, seeks
$50 for promotion work among
farmers and school children. IF
conservation pamphlets can be OBJ
tained his group of directors plan to
start a conservation education pro-
gram by mail. In addition will put
on entertainment programs at farm
bureau, council and other farm meet
ings.
The program department headed
by A. E. Kohl asks for $577 to be
used for obtaining outstanding talent
at club meetings, refreshments, club
room maintenance, flowers and recre-
ational sport for the community.
Recreational sport expenditures of
1882 will be used to purchase equip
ment for softball and basketball
teams and travelling expenses. Bene-
fit games are planned to defray the
expenditure.
Promotion Activity
The promotion department headed
by Dick Troy asks for $3.50. This
money will be spent for advertising,
office incidentals, mailings to the
membership (takes over $50 just to
mail postal card to each member
on special occasions), photography,
and promotion of a fishing contest.

penditure will be betrayed through
advertising receipts in the fishing
contest and additional income can be
expected from sale of conservation
bulletin subscriptions.
c. V. Stonehill's Hunting and Fish
ing license sales department will add
considerable revenue to the clubs
Golfers. Hundreds of dollars are re-
bated to the club treasury each year
from dealers rebating their fee to
the club for restocking of fish and
game.
1t is a good policy for a com
munity organization to inform the
public of their plans and how the
money will be spent, Good will is
created. Suggestions for more eff
ficient operation of such a vast
organization are constantly sought
from the public by the directors. The
club belongs to the community, let's
all pitch in make this organization
an outstanding example Of conserVa-
tion and civic promotion.
How Money Can Be Raised
Club directors explain raising of
the appropriation is a simple matter
and can be done easily. Last year
the club had 1850 members. Each
one of these members are asked to
obtain one other member this year.
At $10O for each membership s2700
can be raised in a few weeks time.
There are many other community
programs in which the club can be
of great assistance if funds are
available. Help sell memberships,
attend meetings and tell the direct
ors what you would like them to
do in the community.
Additional funds for community
good can be raised through sponsor
