This week Western Homes
Foundation offers the stellar de
sign of its "Home-Land" series
of plans to meet the housing
needs of families in the $600 to
$1200 per year income group.
This is the "Wayman," from the
"Homes of Economy" group of
the National Plan Service. The
Wayman has two floor plans. It
Brovides a selection range 01 six
different exteriors, of which,
three, with the basementless
floor plan are illustrated.
Built without a basement the
Wayman has 6300 cubic feet.
National home building costs
range from 20 to 30 cents per
cubic foot for average small
homes of standard construction
and equipment. At the highest
figure, the Wayman should cost
no more than $2000. A family
having a $125 equity in a sub
urban lot or country acre and
with a good credit risk rating,
may obtain an FHA class I,
Title 3 loan, under new liberal
terms, for building a home from
the Wayman designs.
More information about the
building industry's Home-Land
program for families of modest
income may be had from retail
lumber dealers or from Western
Homes Foundation, 364 Stuart
building, Seattle, Wash. Work
ing plans and specifications for
either of the Wayman designs
illustrated may be had from the
same sources.

San Francisco, Oct. 28. lP)
Industry-wide newspaper adver
tising has increased milk sales
in San Francisco nearly 15 per
cent, the international milk deal
ers' convention was told here to
day. John Marshall, Jr., secretary
of the San Francisco Milk Deal
ers' association, reported the
newspaper campaign was started
in May, 1938, after a survey re
vealed 60 per cent of San Fran
cisco's adults did not drink fresh
milk.
As a result of the campaign,
he said, San Francisco's milk
consumption has increased at a
greater rate than that of any of
the other 135 principal cities in
the United States.

Rome, Oct. 28 (Pi Premier
Mussolini, speaking on the 17th
anniversary of the Fascist march
on Rome, told a holiday crowd
today that Fascism asked only
the privilege of "building and
going forward."
"The anniversary of the every
more glorious blackshirts' revo
lution finds us as compact and
strong as ever from the Alps to
the Indian Ocean, said II Duce,
speaking from the balcony of
his office. .
"Today, as during the harsh
bloody eve of revolution, Fas
cism demands for itself only
single privilege, that of building
and going forward always and
in all circumstances with the
people and for the people.'

Mary McCormick, much-married

here today she expects to add a
fifth and final surname to her
long list within six months. She
said her fifth husband would be
Joseph Patrick Reilly, a Chicago

"Mrs. Reilly," she mused.
"Can you beat that and me a

That the equivalent of a
whole year of labor, enough to
produce a small modern home,
is wasted every time a round
of heavy artillery is fired was
pointed out today by George
W. Porter, local retail lumber
dealer, in a dramatic comparison
between the destructive cost of
war and the constructive cost
of home building.
"The cost of firing a single
round of largest calibre artillery
has been given by good author
ity as $2030.10," Mr. Porter said.
"That, in round figures, is as
much as a skilled building me
chanic will earn in an entire
year. It is also enough money
to build a modest small home.
"We have, therefore," the
lumberman said, "an interesting
comparison in measuring the
production value of an entire
year s labor of a skilled work
man in terms of a big death-
dealing shell with fuse, firing
powder, high explosives and
everything, or in terms of a
small home ready to move into.
"But, our comparison ends
with the cost. In terms of value
received there is an entirely
different story. The $2000 in
vestment in artillery fire is gone
in a single moment of flame,
noise and smoke. Absolutely
gone ... to say nothing of the
probable destruction on the
other end.
"On the other hand, the
$2000 worth of total human en
deavor expended in fashioning
every item that goes into the
small home is truly a construc
tive investment. The home will
provide useful shelter, comfort,
convenience and civilized living
for years to come."
The local lumber retailer said
that despite the war fervor it
was encouraging to note that
home building in the northwest
was going right ahead. He at
tributed such continuance of
construction to a growing reali
zation on the part of the public
that low-rate financing oppor
tunities and other factors were
never more favorable to the
prospective home builder.
