People are as busy today in search for the Holy Grail as was Sir Galahad. the Grail today being repre- sented by success and happiness. which can be most readily obtained through the practice of thrift, Claude W. Owen told the Washington Round Table in 8 Thrift week address at the University Club yesterday. To ‘reach the goal every American | must work and esrn. declared Mr. Owen. He urzed the following rules for the thrifty: Establish a budget: keep a record of expenses. have a bank account. in- cluding a savings account: carry life insurance: own vour own home as early #s possible: make a will: invest care- fully. pay bills promptly, and share ® with others. Mr. Owen said that it is estimated that the weekly pay roll in the United States amounts to $100.000.000 and that $20.000.000 of that is wasted Nathaniel K.

The exterior of the house gives the first impression, of course. The medieval castle, huge. gray, and all enduring. a monument of the past when strength and protection were the ultimate aim of every form of home; the soft, light-colored renais. sance palace, breathing the rediscovered {peace and grandeur of Rome: brick and half-timber manor houses of England and France. the quaint be- ginnings of the individual house; the Norman houses. fitting into our sides so well, with their steep roofs and gable windows breaking the roof line: the exquisitely proportioned red brick Georgian house with its white trim- mings, especially those built in America, combiring graceful dignity with cour- | teous hospitality: all these give a defi- nite impression as one stands in front of them. This impression thouzh is to be ruined or strengthened by the first glimpse into the entrance hall Halls Often Overcrowded. As a rule, halls are done very badly because they are overcrowded. 'piece of furniture should b» to the point, used for a very necessary pur- pose and yet be decorative, a hint as {to the character of the rest of the house. | As soon as the first primitive stage of house building had passed when one entered the hut through a hole in the side, the hallway began to appear. In Greek and Roman homes, there were often hallways of long and tortuous {length, but they resembled our modern corridors in the apartment houses. In the medieval castle, we have the |great hall which was a combination between). sale. |)_\’. distance, also, the | Each | houses | rather than the entrance halls in our | | at Fourth T'he Government has authorized the great Recreational Park near Stores, churches, schools and two car lines are within walking ON AND GENEVIEVE HENDRIC But one usually entered the vault be- low which was level with the ground and went up a closed winding staircase to the great living hgll above. The floor space (of the entry hall) was al- most always broken by the great p! la which held up the rest of the building, as vaulting was the only method then known of supporting large oreas. Many large country estates of today are built in the castle manner. Architectural Simplicity. The picture accompanying this ar- ticle shows the entry hall of an old ! castle built in the thirteenth century in the north of England. This may well be taken as a model for our medern castles which so beautifully re- produce the ones of the past. The striking effect of this hall is created mainly by its architectural simplicity The heavy columns and round-headed arches show the great strength of the building and its weight. The old flags stones and bare plaster walls give evi- dence of the harsh and rough life lived by the men of that time, while the armor and weapons hanging on the wall beside the door show the need of being armed or having arms at one’s reach at all times Simple furniture such as chests, benches and tables were the only pleces known and these were used sparingly In the living rcoms of such houses today we are obliged to have comfort- able furniture and luxurious rugs. but in the entrance halls where the guest does not have to stay long. we can stili Rive a dramatic effect and recreate the spirit of the past.

Heads for Per- mission to Use Site. Henry O'Malley, commissioner of the United States Bureau of Fisheries. asked the District Commissionerrs today for permission to use part of the Municipal Government's property at Cherry Hill Va.. for a fish hatchery Th= tract wanted is known as Feather- stone Farm. on Ocecoquan Bay places and that no elosad rooms, pri-| 2 compartments or partitioned-off sections be permitted An organized movement is afoot by proprietors of such public amusements, Mrs. Van Winkle told Maj. Hesse, “to defy existing laws and to set aside the fine co-operation for the proper con- duct at public gathering places.” Danc- ing at a night club. she said. s a mere excuse to gather for the purpose of drinking and that the cabarets are onl* slightly better. Dancing schools in which the students are the same year after year, and never receive instruc- tions. she added, “are dance halls and nothing the Neabso Cresk empties. O'Malley ex- plained that increasing need for food fish makes it necessary for his bureau to proeure a site on the Potomac where bass. crappie and shad may not only be hatched but raised in greatly in- creased numbers before being placed in the open water. They are now released from hatcheries as soon as hatched The Featherstone Farm is now being used by the District. It was acquired when the garbage reduction plant wa. placed at Cherry Hill because it was ow in price, and Morris Hacker, super- visor of ety refuse, thought it would be seful in the future as a dump. O'Mal- ley said the tract is large enough for big fish ponds.
