We wanted to build a table some
place but we were not sure that the
japanese Housewife, having for gen.
erations done most of her food pre-
paration on the kitchen floor, would
use it if we built it. We also wanted
to raise the work area about four
inches so she would have to stand
straight to reach it,
We also would have liked to put
hot water in our kitchens. Putting
hot water, like the flush toilet and
clean sheets, is one of the hallmarks
of civilized living But, alas, run
ming hot water is a luxury few Jap
anese families can afford. There is
only enough fuel for cooking.

up that idea, too. Since there is no
sewer, it would upset the entire dis

In the end we decided that we
ought to know more about Japan

attempt TO change their habits. Be-
Sides it would have meant making
new blueprints. And we surely did
not have time for that
So again we realized that you
cannot raise the standard of living
of one family at a time you must
start with an entire community. And
that was too big job for one sum-
mer.

DR.. Rutland Urges Change
In Medical License System

Laws regulating the practice of
medicine in the United States are
confusing and should be changed,
in the opinion of Health Officer
George c. Rutland.
At present. when a doctor takes
an examination to practice, he is
permitted to practice only in the
State where he took the examina-
ton. DR.. Rutland believes that
when a doctor passes an exam
ination he should be permitted to
practice anywhere in the country.
He said he would try to get the
annual Congress on Medical Edu-
cation and Licensure, now meet
ing in Chicago, to indorse. the
plan. He now is in Chicago. where
he is to read paper today ask
ing for Nationwide practice by

He said those who watched by

applications of a similar type of

u. 5. Launches Drive
To Stimulate BuiIdinq
OF Low-Cost Homes
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

The Government has launched
a Nationwide campaign to stimu-
late direct action by private en-
terprise toward providing more
lower-cost homes for sale or rent.
All segments of the home
building industry have been in
vited to take part in discussion
meetings in IS key cities this week
to see how the problem can be
solved. This discussion program
will extend to other cities and
communities later in February and
during March.
Raymond M. Foley. administra-
tor of the Federal Housing and
Home Finance Agency, said in a
statement:
ITO provide this lower-cost
housing in the volume needed re-
quires the earnest cooperation Of
all segments of the industry ..
1t involves an industry-wide
search for economies and efficien-
cies that will cut the cost Of good
housing"
Building Code Criticized.
The National Bureau of Stand
ards in a simultaneous report said
that building codes that "unduly
restrict" the use of newer and
cheaper materials increase hous-
ing costs and thus tend to hold
down home construction.
In a survey of 1884 municipali-
ties, the bureau said it found:
Most building codes have not
been overhauled in some time.
and. in varying ways. are out of
date "a per cent are II to ~
years old.
Many Areas Lack Codes.
Nearly one-third of the munich
palities have no building regula-
tions-"a real hazard to the pub
lie safety and often to the eco
nomic interests of property own
ers."
Some c0deS are not rigorous
enough for safety's sake.
More than 200 municipalities
are completely revising their
codes. but the job of testing and
evaluating new materials is too
complex and exceeds their facil-
tiles.
Despite differences in climate
and geography, greater uniform
ity in codes is possible, which in
turn would mean cheaper con-
struction and simplifying the
problems of designers, builders
and manufacturers.
