Drainage System
Is Important Unit
In Modern Home
One of the most important fea.
tures of a home is its drainage
system, as one poorly designed
will be a source of continual an
noyance and trouble to the home
owner.
It is recommended that the
drainage system of the house be
constructed of high-grade materi
als and subjected to rigid inspec
tion. The system should be care
fully designed with proper sizing
of mains and branches and ade
quate pitch of all drainage lines.
Economy of layout will be achiev
ed by the grouping of facilities
about the fewest possible num
ber of stacks and by avoidance
of long runs. The system should
be arranged so as to avoid cutting
of structural members.
Special care should be taken to
assure the positive trapping of all
fixtures and floor drains and ade
quate venting of the entire sys
tem. To facilitate maintenance,
an adequate number of clean-outs
should be provided. The use of
the heavier grades of drainage
piping and fittings will insure
longer life, and high-grade work
manship is of great importance to
insure securely sealed joints and
proper installation of all pipes and
fittings.
Auto Cabin
Sale Made
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Myer have
purchased Bales' Log Cabin auto
cabin on South Pacific 99 at the
junction of the overhead cross
ing and Willamette park road.
The former owner was A. P.
Bales of Cheyenne, Wyo. Con
tideration was S8500. Ramey W.
Hugh handled the transaction for
the E. H. Peterson company.
The new owners are now in
possession and are making ex
tensive improvements, including
the installation of a playground,
park and trailer camp and also a
drive-in soft drink and lunch
room.
Shower Head Gives
Spray At Two Levels
A shower head on the end of
an adjustable arm, providing
proper height of shower for both
children and adults, is one of the
latest devices for the bathroom.
In addition to providing a show
er spray, the device will supply
a steady stream to the tub when
a knob on the shower head is
turned. The adjustable arm also
makes the shower convenient for
shampooing.
Installation is simplified by the
fact that no parts are hidden in
the wall, and various thicknesses
of tile, plaster, or other wall ma
terials present no difficulties.

New England colonial is the de
sign of the new house of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward E. Harpham at 1981
Elk drive, this week's Register
Guard "home of the week", and
the New England idea is carried
out in every detail.
The home is built atop a knoll
off Fairmount boulevard and the
district is so new that Elk drive
is still a bit hard to find.
K. K. Folgcdalen was the con
tractor for the Harpham home,
and all materials were purchased
in Eugene.
The house is white, with green
shutters giving it an attractive
design. A tiny front porch with
two steps up to it and a distinc
tive arch over the doorway arc
typically New England. The gar
age, adjacent to the house, is also
white. The building is a frame
construction.
An Attractive View
Fir trees, close by and in the
distance, makes an attractive view
from the many windows of the
Harpham home.
When the front door is opened,
the first thing you see is the warm
New England atmosphere. Built
in book cases and a friendly fire
place with a clock 100 years old
on the mantlepiece are features
of the living room. There are
parchment color walls, with dull
cream woodwork.
Colonial brass fixtures and
colonial lighting of a reflector
type add to the New England as
pect. One of the fixtures is a
Nantucket lantern.
The dining room is separated
from the living room by a hall
way. Hurricane globes hang over
the dining room table. The din
ing room is wide and has corner
cupboards.
Mulberry -Mauve Tone
A mulberry-mauve tone is ap
parent throughout the house, es
pecially in the living room, where
even the curtains are in keeping
with the colonial idea. The fire
place contains a tinder box and
an old-fashioned crane. Ivy on
the mantlepiece by the clock is in
accord with the general theme.
Further in keeping with the
colonial motif are "L" hinges on
cupboards throughout the house.
Even the striped cat purring
over the little braided rugs on
the living room floor is remind
ful of New England. All floors in

the house are dark and of hard

The kitchen runs off Ihe dining
room, and when one enters it all
appears to be knotty pine. The
clipboards over the drainboard
are made entirely of knotty pine.
There is a nook off the kitchen,
and it, too, is built of knotty pine.
An open shelf features the nook.

Continues At High

tions under the FHA plan con
tinued during April at approxi
mately the same high level estab
lished during March, according to
figures made public today by Ad
ministrator Stewart McDonald.
The March figures were the high
est in the history of the FHA.
The total figures for April
showed a decline of 13 per cent
from those of March, with the
average weekly volume showing
a decline of less than 4 per cent.
Small home mortgages selected
for appraisal during the month
totaled approximately $105,700,
000, and 65 per cent of the num
ber of these mortgages repre
sents homes to be constructed.
April mortgages selected for ap
praisal of approximately $105,700,
000 compares with $94,229,313 for
April last year, an increase of 12
per cent.
Mortgages accepted for insur
ance during April totaled $65,000,
000, compared with $63,485,800
for March, and $63,298,325 for
April, 1938. Of the amount of
mortgages accepted for insurance
in the first four months of 1939,
approximately 72 per cent cov
ered new houses.
Premium-paying mortgages re
corded in April total $46,300,000,
compared with $50,162,100 for
March, a decrease of 8 per cent,
and $25,798,400 for April of last
year, an increase of 80 per cent.
This brings the grand total of
small home premium-paying
mortgages to slightly less than
$1,500,000,000. In addition, the
FHA has insured mortgages total
ing $89,372,425 on 195 large scale
housing projects.

furniture and appropriate small
reading lamps and other suitable
furnishings.
Cupboards Below Bowl
The upstairs bathroom, also
small, is in yellow and green de
sign. The cupboard below the
washbowl is handy and augments
the conventional one above the
bowl.
The long third bedroom has a
beautiful view from a terrace
which stretches outside it. There
are two closets in this bedroom,
with more built-in shelves.
The house will have a full base
ment, but it has not yet been
completed.
An old oak tree stands outside
the house in keeping with the
New England motif, and fruit
trees and a garden are planned
later. The Harphams moved in a
little more than a month ago.
Construction of the house began
November 1.
