The window shown in the "before" view opened onto an enclosed porch. It gave little light and ventilation and was blocked off. The doorways were lowered and arched, creating an illusion of depth. The walls were recovered with a wedgewood patterned paper and the woodwork painted white. A new central fixture was installed and the room was ready for refurnishing.

It is a common belief that the first subjects of television broad casts will be motion pictures, since they are considered ideal for television transmission. The Federal Housing AdmlniS' (ration considers a number of factors when examining the plan ning of the plot for a home of fered as security for an insured mortgage. The lot should be of such size and shape that ample space will be provided on all sides of the home. Other desirable characteristics are: (1) Placement of the house on the lot to take advantage of the best natural features, such as views, slope of the land, sunlight, prevailing winds, and shade trees; (2) architectural unity each structure should be related to the other in arrangement on the plot so that each unit complements the other; (3) planting, walks, and drives arranged for conveni ent and safe access to house and garage, as well as to provide an attractive setting for the build ing; (4) privacy and freedom from noise, as well as ample ngnt ana air; (5) plan of the house and room arrangement adapted to characteristics of the lot and adjoining buildings; (6) garage so located as to provide easy access irom street or allev. as well as from the house itself. Linoleum Cuts Breakage Cost Linoleum, once confined chiefly to floors, has branched out In the home and Is now regarded as an attractive and practical surface for sink tops and drain boards. Be cause of its resiliency, it reduces clatter and retards breakage of dishes. On drainboards or other areas where water is spilled or splashed, the sucess of the installation de pends almost entirely upon the quality of workmanship in making the seams and edges tight and waterproof. 'Honesty' Vital In Successful Home Building Work The most direct way to attain architectural beauty and economy in a home is through "honesty" the elimination of false and purposeless features and simpli city of design, home builders are advised. False fronts, walls and win dows constitute the most common architectural abuse. This fault is manifest in windows in garage doors to disguise the identity of me garage, false porte-cocheres. false service doors covered by sweeping roof lines, and continu ation of walls when they serve no actual purpose, such as con cealing drying yards or service entrances.. Another Common Fault Another common fault is found in shutters which do not fit the window openings, while in many cases shutters are found applied to the outside of the win dow frame, thus increasing the false character of the structure. A "restlessness" in masonry walls is frequently created by in troducing materials other than the one which forms the main body of the wall. This is seen most often in the form of pieces of stone or rock inserted into brick walls, with a condition apt ly described as "rock rash" re sulting. Stone used promiscuous ly on brick houses for the pur pose of accentuating entrances, window openings, or false but tresses tend to destroy the de- siraoie simplicity oi masonry construction. A more lasting Deauty is created when the ex. terior finish of a house is not disturbed by too great a variety in unisning materials. Windows, to play their part in the architectural design of the home, should be kept simple and should not vary in design. A com mon fault is found in the use of several different kinds of win' dows in the same house. Dia. mond-shaped glass panes may be effectively used in homes of Eng lish style, but to use in conjunc tion with square panes in the same structure would not be good architectural design. Another common fault Is the location of the chimney in the valley of the roof. This, FHA officials point out, creates a poc ket for water and usually dev elops into a source of continual annoyance to the home owner. Garage Detail Opening the garage to the rear, unless served by an alley, often has far-reaching effects in that this demands much yard space for unnecessary driveways, sets up maintenance costs otherwise not necessary, and causes a snow removal problem In sections where this is a consideration. Many homeowners are deprived of attractive rear-yard develop ment because driveways consume much of the yard area. The coloring of mortar may be a disturbing factor in masonry work, especially when used to heighten the effect of entrances or windows. In many cases it breaks the harmony of the sur face and gives the house a rest less appearance, this being espe cially true when the mortar joint has been raised. 'The Ot ter' Is Home That Can Be Built in Lowest Income Group !?'. ' Tt" lW. ajTiTilrllraw. ' r I'll iwnwrr This week Western Home Foun dation publication of home de signs by the National Plan ser vice which were created on the pattern of the home-land pro jects successfully developed by the Farm Security administration. The departure from FSA is at the point of family income which may purchase housing and gar den land , without governnment aid, the field of FSA being re stricted to farm families lacking full means of subsistence. The first design of the series has been included in the National Plan service's publication, "Low Cost Homes," and is listed as "the Otter." It contains 5700 cubic feet. At the high figure of 30 cents per cubic foot it would cost $1700 to build. At 25 cents, the Otter would cost $1425. Without bath room and plumbing, cost would of course be greatly reduced. Built as a shell, to be finished inside later by the owner, the first cost of this home may be met from incomes of the lowest range. The illustration shows that the Otter is attractive in appear ance and has a warm homey at mosphere. 'With these modern designs for lowest cost dwellings, the building industry is demonstrating that It is equipped and ready to serve all income groups." savs W. C. Bell, chairman of Western Homes Foundation. "The industry is moving to fill the gap between ine group dependent upon the government and the groups with incomes of $1200 per year or more. This program does not con template Just the sale of housing and housing materials. It has a social outlook comparable to that guiding FSA activities. So we have christened it "The Home Land Program!' Conditional estimates on the Otter may be obtained from local retail lumber dealers. Plans and specifications may be had through dealers or from Western Homes Foundation, 364 Stuart Building, Seattle, Washington.

Breakfast Nook Is Often Needed In homes which have full-sized dining rooms it is often desirable to use a corner for a breakfast nook, especially when there are younger members of the family, A built-in cabinet should be included In the nook. Breakfast dishes, children's silverware and dishes, and electric cooking equip ment such as grill, percolator, and waffle iron may be kept In this cabinet. Expert Should Estimate Repairs The services of 8n expert are generally needed to determine the extent of the modernization need ed when an old house Is bought with the intention of modernizing it. Some of the items to check In examining a house include leaky faucets, clogged drains, sticking doors and windows, broken sash cords, and weather stripping. The prospective purchaser of an old home should also see if the base boards have shrunk, and creaking floors should be examined. The plaster, especially at the top of door frames, should be check ed for cracks, and all exposed wires should be examined to learn whether or not they are properly Insulated.
