G. Aune, local building contractor. The last word in architectural de- 4 gign and residential convenience and comfort has been provided in the plans for the six-room structure by Herman Leonhard, architect, accord- ng to Aune. All contracts for build- ing and furnishing have been let to local firms. Bismarck Brick & Tile Co., will furnish the concrete blocks for the foundation. All woodwork will be made at the Aune Carpenter shop. ry Dimensions of the house will be 80x32 feet and the cost is estimated - at $6,000. The ultra-modern dwelling will contain a living room, dinette, kitchen, bath, two bedrooms on the ground floor and two on the second floor. A garage will be attached to the dwelling with a modern built- | in laundry beneath it. | The living room will be in rustic de- sign with a beam ceiling and birch trimmings. It will contain a fire- place of native rock. Other features of the room will be its rustic iron stairway to the second floor. a tele- phone niche and a built-in buffet. ; Housewives, Aune said, will be par- ticularly interested in the practical features of the kitchenette with its alcove for a stove vented into a chim- ney to carry off all cooking fumes. ‘There also will be ample cupboard Space conveniently arranged with flush doors and drawers.

Hinges should be installed so that screws are concealed when the shut- ters are closed. Bolts or other fas- tenings that cannot be easily removed are advisable, Hooks, hasps, sliding bolts, or other fastenings can be used for locking the shutters tightly from the inside when they are closed. Iron bars or other protection make basement windows burglar-proof, and a. substantial lock may be installed in the door leading from the first floor to the basement. Exterior doors should be provided with good locks; and, if there them which can be broken, it is an excellent idea to provide heavily constructed storm doors which’ can be locked securely. ‘ Credits for modernizing and con- structing summer cabins and cottages are available through private finan- cial institutions which are approved by and cooperating with the Federal Housing Administration, which is in- suring such credits under the Nation- al Housing Act. MUCH GRAIN SAVED BY RAT PROOF CRIB Proper Precautions Reduce Losses From Rodents on American Farms Among major losses sustained by American farmers are those result- ing from the annual depredations of the millions of rats which infest un- protected corncribs and other farm buildings. The application of better construc- tion principles and the use of rat- proofing materials in the moderniza- tion of existing corncribs and the construction of new ones will pre- vent the loss of millions of dollars’ worth of corn, wheat and other grains. Losses sometimes amounting to a quarter or a third of the total quan- tity of grain held over Winter have been known. In one case reported 500 bushels were destroyed in one crib during one winter. The rib could have been ratproofed several times for the money represented by the loss. Build Above Ground In general, corncribs should be |built sufficiently high above the ground so that the rats cannot enter by gnawing holes through the floor, or if the floor is near the ground, then the floor and foundation walls should be of masonry or protected by metal or woven mesh to prevent the entrance of rats. - One satisfactory method of perma- nently ratproofing the common slat- sided corncrib is entirely to cover the walls and ceiling on the inside and the wooden floors on the under- side with woven-wire mesh or hard- ware cloth, 2 or 3 meshes to the inch. A heavy grade of woven wire, such as 12 or 15 gage, galvanized after weaving, is desirable.

All joints must be made tight. The wire netting and the metal strip, of course, should ex- tend over ventilator openings and windows which may be opened, and used as a facing on doors. Further, the doors should be provided with springs or weights to pull them clos- ed and to insure their remaining closed. Clearance Is Necessary When corncribs are set on posts or piers, it is desirable that there should be a clearance of 2% feet or more under the crib. Covering the supporting posts or piers with sheet metal, or protecting them at the top with metal collars or disks extending at least 9 inches out from the posts, will make it practically impossible for the rats to enter the crib by climbing the posts. The space be- {neath the crib should be cleared of rubbish and should not be used as & storage place for anything on which the rats can climb and thereby reach the floor of the crib. Information on ratproofing build- ings and premises is given in U. 8. Department of Agriculture Farmers’ Bulletin 1638, while details of corn- crib construction are given in Farm- ers’ Bulletin 1701, entitled ‘“Corn- cribs for the Corn Belt.” BATHROOM AIDS Proper plumbing does not neces- sarily mean an up-to-date bathroom. Wooden or bare plaster walls are as out of place in the modern bath- room as kerosene lamps. The bath- room today has a wainscoting which will stand up under constant shower spray and at the same time make a handsome appearance. Imitation tile, marble, and color panels that can be applied right over the old walls are eligible for installation under the terms of the modernization credit plan of the National Housing Act. ‘The greater part of Greenland is Led inag with a layer of ice 5,000 feet chick. BY FHA T0 $50,000 BiG BUSINESS AID New Amendment Provides In- stallation of Machinery and Equipment Is Eligible Washington, D. C., June 10.—Es- tablishment of the maximum amount of modernization credit insurable by the Federal Housing Administration at $50,000 on income-producing and industrial property, whereby a gen- eral impetus to commercial and larger residential property repair is expected to result, is provided by an amendment to the National Hous- ing Act signed recently by President Roosevelt. Credit may now be obtained under the Federal Housing Administration insurance plan to modernize hotels, apartment buildings, hospitals, col- leges, orphanages, schools, manufac- turing and industrial plants, and sim- ilar structures. The maximum amount available for private dwellings remains at $2,000. Home Equipment Eligible Of particular significance to indus- try is the fact that by the new amend- ment to the National Housing Act in- stallation of machinery and equip- ment becomes eligible for such credit. The amendment further provides that the modernization credit plan of the Federal Housing Administration will continue to function until April 1, 1936, instead of expiring January 1, 1936, as originally provided. Further security to the mortgage holder is also provided in the new amendments. Heretofore holders of mortgages received only a@ certificate of claim for interest on the unpaid principal on foreclosed mortgages. By the new amendments, upon foreclos- ure and conveyance of the property to the Federal Housing Administra- tor, the holder receives bonds which include in their face amount interest on the unpaid principal of the mort- gage at the rate provided in the bond from the date the holder instituted the proceedings to foreclose the mort- gage to the date of the delivery of the bonds. Expect Repairing Boom Through the material extension of modernization credit provided in the amendments, industrial leaders over the country anticipate that thousands of new repair projects will come in- to being within a few months. The stimulation of repair projects among income-producing properties will reach into millions of dollars, it is estimated. Repairs to hotel and apartment J. S.
