PLANNING STUDY URGED. Needed if Only for Selfish Reasons, Association Says. Pointing out that men in the business. of real estate are the only group whose | N purely selfish interests, if no higher motive exists, demand that study of planning be a part of their daily office routine, the Arkansas Real Estate As- sociation is asking for the initiation in every community in the State of a program of public education as to the neeu for proper planning and execu- tion of civic improvement programs. Effective land or city planning must come as & demand from a public bet- ter informed as to the need of de- velopment of land resources to their highest use and the preservation of land values, the association holds in resolutions passed at its annual con- vention just closed. SHOWN BY 30 TESTS Prevents Plaster Cracking and Re- duces Distortion and Vibra- tion, Experiments Reveal. That the addition of a subfloor has a valuable stiffening effect in wooden floor construction is confirmed by re- cent tests at the forest products labora- tory of the Forest Service, Depart- ment of Agriculture, on 30 different constructions conforming to_ floor de- signs and conditions met with in com- mon practice. These tests indicate that a subfloor adds very appreciably to the strength ) of a floor system by distributing loads placed upon it, reduces floor distor- tion and vibration, diminishes the cracking of plaster, and probably de- creases floomznung, it is reported. Under a such as is represented by a piano or other piece of furniture the joists supporting a floor are de- flecied or bent. One effect of this bend- | g of the joists is a bending of the lath and plaster on the ceiling below, which may cause the plaster to crack. It was found that a subfloor of ordinary thickness added to a floor system re- duced the total deflection or bending of an individual joist approximately 30 per cent and its deflection with respect to ld]:eent joists approximately 40 per cent, Fireplace Better at Far End. On entering a living room, a fire- place appears at its best when it is at the far end of the room. For practical reasons also, this has the advantage of avoiding the drafts that are so fre- quently noticeable to persons sitting around a fire which is located near a doorway or open stairs. pm——— Street STREET Room e In the charming detached English Homes in. 14th Tzrracc A CHEERFUL room on the first floor is definitely a man's room— his “every pated—here he can enjoy his books, his radio, his very own possessi and his friends—undisturbed.
