SEVERAL slight structural changes and complete redecoratlon trans,
formed the dining room shown in the above pictures from an ex
ample of the "golden oak age" of interiors into a pleasing modern
room. 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

Adequate Lighting
Fixtures Essential
Considerable attention should
be given the problem of supply
ing .adequate lighting equipment
when planning a new home.
It is important to choose the
best available fixtures and wall
colors which properly reflect light
without glare. Eyestrain can be
minimized and the gloom of dark
days lessened through . proper
lighting in the home.
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.
