a bent toward architecture.
The Herters are fortunate
in another way; neither has

it is just automatic the way
Mrs. Herter rules out dessert
and potatoes.
Impressive Taste
Visitors are much impressed
with the taste and elegance
of interior decoration as prac-
ticed so determinedly by the
Herters. One reason is their
stress on getting just the
right color.
There's a small library in
the P street Washington
home, where an eyecatcher
is a painting of a Chinese
mandarin in crimson robes.
The Herters have painted
this room red six times, each
coat slightly different from
the last, to carry along that
particular shade of crimson.
Does this sound like the
Herters are too f1nicky? You
couldn't be more wrong.
They have two dogs, and the
dogs run loose in the house.

Curriculum
Study is
Considered

Creation of a lay-profes-
sional committee to conduct
an extensive survey of coun-
ty school curriculum is being
considered by top school Of
ficials.
The notion was suggested to
the county school board this
week by Superintendent OF
Schools c. Taylor Whittier, who
said he will bring the board
more details on the plan at a
later meeting.
It's purpose would be to re
view the subject matter of the
entire kindergarten through 18th
grade program. In all likelihood
Whittier said, it would involve
bringing in outside specialists
to consult with the committee
First step, he said, probably
would be to name a planning
group that would outline the
ways in which the main com
mittee would proceed.
Board member Paul c. How
ard agreed with Whittier that
outside consultants should be
brought in to help. 'If it's to be
worthwhile" Howard said, "this
must be more than a self-analy

Want LOWer Water Bills?
Here Are a Fe1u Tips

Some water conservation
hints, designed to help consum-
ers keep their water bills down
and maintain good water pres.
sure during summer days of
peak use, were offered today by
the Washington Suburban SAM.
tary Commission.
The one-day water consump-
ton record in the WSSC SAM

County and Montgomery Coun-
ty has been broken three times
this summer-on consecutive
days during the dry weather pc.
Rod at the end of June. The cur.
rent record is 1856 million gal
Ions set on June 30.
Although the Commission res
ervoirs are full and the supply
is adequate to serve the needs
of the bi-county area in dry or
wet weather, the WSSC recon-
mended a few water conserva-
ton rules of thumb which may
be followed by consumers: They
are:
. Inspect and tighten faucets
and other water-using appli-
ances, since one leaking outlet
can waste Is gallons a day or
$50 gallons a month. Faucets
with faulty washers, and leaking
toilets are big offenders.
. Follow the lead of expert
enced gardeners and lawn grow.
ers, who recommend thorough
soaking and less frequent water
ing, not more than once a week.
One of the biggest drains on the
water distribution system dur
ing hot, dry periods is daily
lawn sprinkling. Heavy lawn
watering, combined with the us.
ual high rate of use for baths
and dish washing from A to J
pm. was credited with causing
pressure drops in the evening in
some high areas Of both coun-
ties, last month.
Eliminate conscious water
waste" by placing containers of
water in the refrigerator, in.
stead of running water out of
the faucet to cool. Other waste.
full practices include the "run-
