accepted esthetic quality Of our
American architecture?
Certainly we don't want our
living areas in Easements We
want them above ground. where
our children can enjoy the out
doors and sunshine.
We want our homes designed
for growing families, in age as
we'll as numbers.
We want our home to suit
our habits of living.
We want all the mechanical
and electronic gadgets thai
make housekeeping an easy job
"a job that can be done with
out servants.
We want a home that will
require the least maintenance
for repair and upkeep over the
years.
From these basic requirements,
plus many of our individual
choosing, will evolve tomorrow's
home for the American family
It would be as foolish to pre-
dict the style" Of this home Of
the future as it would to pre-
dict the day we have space
ships. 1t is encouraging to real
ize that the modern family Of
this Nation is more and more
demanding a home that is de-
signed for American family
living.

One air conditioning expert says
a supplementary piece of equip

turns the trick.
when heating is needed" this
expert says, "the furnace and
blower supply heat through ducts
adjusted for the best heating
balance. When cooling is needed.
a Their m o stat automatically
switches over from heating to
cooling and acknowledging. The
blower then supplies cool air
through ducts to rooms that re-
quire greater amounts of cooling
than Of heating.
"At the same time, the ball
ancing unit goes into action,
pumping cool air through ducts
to hard-to-cool rooms. This
automatic action makes it 1In-

round air conditioning. To keep
winter comfort equal with sum-
mer comfort which requires a
greater circulation of air through
the same pipes is an engineering
trick almost as delicate as tight
rope walking.
It's comparatively simple to
balance a heating system or a
cooling system alone. In either
case. air ducts and registers can
be installed and regulated so
there will be no noticeable diff
ference in temperature from
room to room.
The problem arises when the
two systems are combined with
an automatic switch-over from
season to season. In winter,
north and west sides of a house
need more heat. In summer,
southern exposures need more
cooling. Kitchens, warm in win
ter. require more cooling in sum-
mer.

Big Change Is Seen
Evolving in Design

ranch house of non-stylist char
acter is the answer. is again
subject to some future evalua-
ton.
1t would be without merit TO
say that in the future original
and imaginative creative think
ing of the architect will not
produce a freer and more ex-
pressive style for the American
way Of living.
Extravaganza Out
Today's home owner does not
care to buy elaborate, extrava-
CANT. decorative cornices. mold
ings and doorways, or extra en-
bellishments.
He wants his house built for
comfort. efficiency and easy,
good living.
He would rather have his
house include a dishwasher. au-
tomato laundry, deep freezer
and many other labor saving de-
vices than the design frills of
the architecture of past eras.
The architect today has many
new ideas in kitchen, laundry
and bathrooms to include in his
design.
The new look" includes a
more open arrangement of
rooms. Its exterior may encom-
pass large glass areas and use
the many new materials that
are now available. While econ
omy is still a requirement for
most families, it does not rep
resent the extreme necessity
it did in the depression Thirties.
FriIls Are Hampered
Taxes and higher construc-
ton costs are now factors to
keep the home owner from being
too pretentious in his demands
We are indeed in a fast-changing
facet Of domestic architecture
and we stop for a moment to
contemplate the future. What
will the twentieth century archi-
tect produce that will have the

Architects
Many significant changes have
occurred in American home ar
chitecture during the past two
decades.
Many new houses today haYe
long low sweeping lines. are one
story high, using large glass
areas in the style we call con-
temporary.
Today the emphasis is on
combining outdoor and indoor
living. archaeological changes in
equipment, heating, air condi-
tioning and new building mate
rails have all had their part in
producing today's contemporary
architecture.
The home owner asks whether
this trend is fad, whether it
is a passing fancy, whether he
should build a contemporary
house or one designed along ira
ditional lines. He is perplexed at
the time he is about to make the
biggest financial step in his life.
Architecture has always fitted
itself to the requirements of the
user. Be it a church, a store, or
q home, architecture must mold
itself to the solution of the prob
lem of planning for its consumer.
It's exterior design should
never dictate It's internal ar
rangement.
Many New Ideas
Whether the new contempo-
rary style will be the answer or
whether some other style may
evolve from the efforts of the
architect is for future historians
to determine. Certainly this age
has many new and exciting ideas
in living to be Incorporated into
architectural plans.
Whether the Colonial, French
or English real estate sub-divi-
sion has all the merits of good
living, or whether the so-called

who chose to walk to school as
a child to strengthen his Grip
pied legs. was presented the
Who's Crippled" award last
night by the National Society

The presentation was made at
the dedication Of a 100000 re-

termination exhibited in build
ing a normal, successful life"

muscles.

U. S. Pays 81 Billion,
Takes In 81 Billion
BY the Associated Press

The Treasury will begin paying
out nearly a billion dollars in
cash today to retire a maturing
bond issue.
At the same time. Federal tax
collectors will start harvesting
an expected 50 billion Septem-
Der haul from business Arms
making their first payment on
taxes in the current 1857 fiscal
year.
The deadline for both of these
activities was September is, but
because of Saturday bank clos
ings generally the real payments
and collections don't start until
today. The net result of the
transactions will be. about a
billion dollars more in the Treas
ury till.
The Treasury gave notice last
May that it intended to pay of
an issue of about 1892 million
in 224 per cent interest bonds.
These partially tax-exempt bonds
were issued September Is, 1886,
and were not due until 1859. but
the Treasury had the option of
calling them for redemption this
year upon 80 days notice.

Socialists Win
Sweden Vote

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept.
H. (P).-Sweden's voters have
given their socialist government
a mild slap on the wrist but con-
tinued it in Office with a COM
Portable 25-seat majority in
Parliament.
Complete. unofficial returns
from yesterdays elections kept
the Social Democrats and their
Agrarian partners in a COM
handing position despite an i'm
pressive upsurge for the Con-
sentative Party.
The results indicated Q de-
mand from a significant seq
ment of the public for lower
taxes, better housing and action
to stem imitation. The Conserva-
tives, who campaigned on these
issues. increased their represen-
tation in the Riksdage from 81
seats to 80.
The Social Democrats won 108
seats, two less than they held
previously. Their partners in the
coalition government, the Agra.

the 23l-member legislative body.
The Liberals retained their So
places.
The Communist Party, which
has never counted for much in
Sweden, increased its represen-
tation from 5 to 6. This appar-
emily represented only a shift OF
leftist voters who found the So
cialists too far to the right for
their taste.

Gratis have guided the Swedish
Way" program Of a state
planned economy and far-reach-
ing social security for its cit
liens.
The Socialists conceded that

and initiation we're genuine prob
lens that defied easy solution

at these points but none threat
ened to cut back or make radi-
cal changes.
