Traffic Test Urged
For Home Buyers
Representative Iris Bitch,

Representative Iris Bitch,
a woman who likes a
house." as she puts it, has a
suggestion for prospective
home-buyers.
Don't make your final de-
cision until you have checked
the travel time between the
house of your choice and
your office-or your hus-
bands office.
The Georgia legislator
started looking for a house
in the Washington area as
soon as she was elected to
Congress in 1854.
When she found one in
nearby Arlington, Va, which
"had the right feeling for
me-" her next step was a test
drive to Capitol Hill.

very busiest time of the day

told an interviewer.

I knew that by leaving a lit

rush hour. I could cut down
on the time. I find now that

minutes in normal traffic.
Mrs. Bitch and her hus-
band have a house in Homer
vile. Ga. They have remod-
eled three times-which gives
q clue that she finds redeco-
rating fun.
She chose white. black and
pink tones as her basic coll
ors for her one-story brick
house in Arlington. She thinks
they give an air Of lightness
and spaciousness to the house.
Her Georgia home is done in
tones Of beige, brown and rose.
Mrs. Bitch says she will
welcome the day when all
home equipment Is standard
lied as a means of making
household repairs easier to
accomplish.
She has found that the

takes different kinds Of care
and remedies.
She noted, however, that
great advances have been
made in home planning
through such activities as the
upcoming Women's Confer
ence on Housing to be held
in Washington October 1915.
Sponsored by the National
Association Of Home Builders
and the United Industry
Committee on Housing, the
conference will provide home
makers with a chance to ex-
change ideas on the kind Of q
home they would like.

draft under various conditions
of loading.
The most important mark
carried by ships, however, is
the Plimsoll mark, sometimes
called the Plimsoll line. 1t is
distinguished from the ordinary
draft markings by being not
simply a line but a circle with
a horizontal line drawn through
it. 1t is located amidShips on
both sides of the ship and
marks the maximum depth to
which that ship may be loaded.
The Plimsoll mark gets its
name from Samuel PlimSoll, q
member of Parliament who
waged a long campaign against
shippers who. during the early
18th century period of migra-
tion from the old world to the
new, persisted in sending to
sea ships which were overloaded
and undermined. So infa-
nous and so widespread was
this practice that such ships
came to be known as coffin

survival were slight but the
owners, having heavily insured
the ships, stood to make a
handsome profit if they were
lost at sea.
This murderous practice was
finally halted in 1876 when
Parliament passed Plimsoll's
bill and from that day onward
all British shipS-and virtually
all the rest of the worlds
shipping-have carried this
symbol of Safe-loading.
American flag ships also car
