DETROIT CAMP - The Ne

That Negroes throughout the
north are going TO turn in q big
vote for the first president TO

debatable. The only question now
Ia the weight that vote will carry
in determining the election out

During this iaunt, ! have talked

ers. And have heard more than
a score express themselves on
the presidential issue in forums,
Also. l have heard the hearty ap-
plause Of thousands Of Pro-Tru-

slightest doubt that eight Negro
voters out Of ten will cast their
ballots for President Truman.
Now make no pretense that

New Faucet
Controls Water
temperature
By D. M. Derwin

Many hands are unnecessarily
scalded every year because of in
ability to juggle faucets to the right
temperature.
Aside from eliminating the dan
gers of scalded hands, a new type
of faucet now on the market lowers
heating costs and saves on the
water bills. 1t is conventional in
appearance, but has revolutionary
difference in operation.
The right handle permits the
flow of water in any amount de-
sired, while the left handle regulates
the water temperature from icy
cold to boiling hot. The new faucet
completely ends handle juggling
to get right temperature of water.
There is no danger of scalds because
the temperature is adjusted before
the water is turned on.
Clean-cut, modern in appearance,
this faucet is easy to install adapt
able to most installations and
mounts in a 1-inch hole in the
basin. 1t is equally attractive in
any of three positions at the rear OF
the wash basin, left or right corner
or center. Standard fittings are
used throughout.
Built for a lifetime, 1t has been
approved by plumbers and building

This is a modern house which is
only one generation removed from
Colonial in architecture. But what
difference that one architectural
generation has made.
Located on a wooded site at Alex
ardria, the home has magnificent
view of Cameron Valley.
You'd never guess it, but this is
a remodeled home. Originally it
had two stories and was typically
Colonial. Then a fire turned it
into smoking ruin.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Philip S.
Brown bought the nine-acre site
and what was left of the house after
the fire, they thought they would
remove the brick shell and build
another house to their liking.
Began As Economy Move.
But the architect. in the interest
of economy, suggested the original
walls should be used for the new
house, as much as possible, and
that the remainder Of the house be
tailored to fit the original founda-
tons, thus eliminating, as well. the
cost of cellar excavation and found
alton walls.
How well this was accomplished
by Architect Charles M. Goodman,
you may see in the photographs
above
The original house had drive
way where a parked car could block
off the view. Arrangement of that
house placed only the narrow part
of the living room facing the view

GosneII Sees Another
Housing Shortage if
FILA Bill Fails

Another housing shortage is being
generated by refusal of the Senate
to pass the House-approved bill to
continue FILA financing for large
scale building, Clarence w. Gosnell,
president of the Washington Home
Builders Association, declared to-
day.
Mr.. Gosnell said the House under
stands" private builders have been
turning out homes ''in enormous
quantities" but that some members
of the Senate, anxious to estab-
lish public housing in this country,
have refused to go along and in
stead insist on the Taft-Ellender-
Wagner Bill.
He had reference to the long
range housing measure. 1t recently
passed the Senate and is now be-
fore the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee, which is holding
hearings on it.
Mr.. Gosnell stated that lack. of
FILA financing for thousands Of
houses and projects lis badly slow
ing down building and is laying the
groundwork for another housing
shortage"
without assurance of FILA Title
vi financing. the industry is unable
to maintain its present high volume
of production. Veterans and other
purchasers have no assurance Of
ability to purchase on the desirable
FILA terms" he added.
The home builders spokesman
noted that private builders COM
pleted nearly 100000 units, which,
he said, reached families of every
income group.
Mr.. Gosnell recalled that the ma
tional association. of which he is
director, is working out a program
for so-called economy housing" 1t
would seek homes at the lowest pos
sible cost and utilize new techniques
and materials.

Question: What causes house to
become water-stained on the ex-
terior?. Our cottage Is Of white
lap-ading and is stained an ugly
brown. The cottage rests on a
cement wall. 1t has no cellar, only
dirt underneath 1t. The exterior
wall are finished with an insulat-
ing board. We heat with an oil
burner. We would like either to
repaint or to reside with shingles,
but before doing so would like to
know the underlying cause of the
trouble so we need not experience
it again.
Answer: If the stains are not
located near the windows and doors,
but are distributed all over the walls,
the chances are that the stains are
caused by moisture passing from the
inside through to the outside. For
some reason, the air inside your
house may be overcharged with
moisture.
This DISTURB, penetrating
through the walls condenses, and
causes an accumulation Of water
behind the paint film. Your lack
of a good concrete basement Is
probably a factor in the condition.
Even If the dirt floor may seem to
be dry, there is always moisture
in the ground which works its way
up through the wall spaces and
causes dampness.
Your first consideration should
be to lay a good waterproof con-

Proper Planting Near
House Will Soften
Stark Building Lines
By W. Wordsworth Wood

Any professional gardener or
landscape architect will tell you
there has never been anything par
ticularly beautiful about the corner
of a house.
They will tell you also that shrubs
or trees which blank windows are
out of place. They will tell you
that foundations are seldom good to
look upon. The best effects In
planting around q house are OBJ
tanned by taking these three points
into consideration.
The homeowner who wants to get
the best Job possible for the least
amount of money first should set
one or two shrubs at the corners
of the house to bring the corner
down into the lawn and thus elm
mate that bare, stark, building line.
The next step is to plant some kind
of low, spreading plant, which will
cover from third to half of the
bare masonry foundation. This will
blend house into lawn and prevent
the abrupt foundation wall line.
The third step is to frame any
foundation windows with shrubs
which grow high rather than wide,
so that the windows will not be
BANKED after few years of growth.
Most Easements are dark enough
and damp enough, without being
further cut off from the outdoor
light. If these suggestions are fol-
lowed out, you can have good base
planting job with little expense.
All shrubs should be kept far
enough away from the house to pre-
vent continuous dampness, and in
case they grow so full as to touch
the house they can be cut back
without detracting from their ap-
pearance.
There are several species Of low
cost shrubs that lend themselves
nicely to base planting, and COM
mon ivy makes the ideal foundation
border.

Virqinio House RemodeIed
From Fire-Swept Ruin

None of the rooms had a large win
dow which could open up the valley
vista to occupants of the house.
First consideration in rebuilding,
said Mr.. Goodman, was to orient
the living area so that those who
lived in the house could gain the
most from the scenic location.
Driveway Changed.
The driveway was changed so
that cars could not interfere with
the view through floor to-ceiling
sliding glass doors across the front
of the living room provided for in
the new plans.
The hilltop site was widened so
that covered and open dining ter
races could be built and meals
served outdoors in the summertime.
The floor plan was developed SO
that the 79-foot-long front part OF
the home faced the valley view.
(The side dimension of the house is
26 feet inches)
Quarry tile from the foot Of a
porch on the original house were
used for the floors of the new homes
bathroom and one bedroom. The
original chimney was used and as
much of the original walls were
retained as could be used to meet
the owners requirements.

virtually all the rooms can be
opened up into one another with
