Par- TALKING IT The Home o current interest, both nat AS TOLD BY HENRY I DETROIT, Mich., June 29.—Ho ( and home conditions will be very differ- |ent in the not-distant future, Henry Ford believes. “Fashions in houses will change as rapidly as fashions in clothing have | changed, and the art of housekeeping will also undergo a shaking up,” Mr. Ford said. “It has been slow coming, but now that it is here the progress will be rapid. | Our houses are nat much different | from those in ancient Ur, but at least we_have improved sanitation, “House development was not possible | hitherto because habitations have been built so strongly that remodeling has been impossible, and population in- creased s0 slowly that new houses were little needed. “But nowadays our methods of con- struction are so flexible and the demand | for new houses is so great that changes for the better are possible. The building business in the United States runs to about seven billions of dollars a year, the greater part of which is for Tesi- dences. Ten years ago commercial and industrial ~ construction just about equaled residence cnostruction. Today there is twice as much money spent in | residence construction as in industrial | or commercial buildings. House Becomes a Home. “You see, this puts the dwelling | house among the biggest businesses of | the country and is consequently at- tracting brains to its improvement. Not | only in outward design but in interior | utility the modern dwelling house will | be as different as the modern automo- | bile is from the old stage coach, “The old American custom of own- ing your own home is on the upgrade | again. Houses are mostly built for sale | rather than for rent. It is this home ownership that forms the basis for the| increase in home improvement which | we see taking place.” | “What new conditions inspired and made possible this improvement?” Mr. Ford was asked. “For some of this you will have to thank the factory,” he replied. “I don't mean wages just now—that comes | later. But the first thing the factory did for the home was to take the work- bench out of it. The old-time home was a factory. Trades were carried on in it. To listen to some people talk today you would think this was a very fine custom. It merely looks quaint by | distance. Try to reinstate it today and | see what would happen. “The factory took laborious task-| work out of the dwelling and gave the | house a chance tc become a home, Let | us give the factory credit for that much. And, of course, industry sup-| ports the better homes which indus- try thus helped to create. Electricity to Front. “When inventive genius turns its light in every nook and corner of the home wonders are bound to happen. They are happening already. Look at what electricity has done. We get heat and cold, light and music, telephone communication and cooking, all from one discovery. You see, then, the pos- sibilities. “What the house of the future will be we shall try to {llustrate in our mu- seum at Dearborn. We shall have a se- ries of houses illustrating the develop- ment right up to today—and beyond. ‘We shall have a house showing what we think the houses of the future will be. “Electricity will play a much larger part in the operation of the home of the future than it now does. And I am speaking of the home of the family of average circumstances. We will get '5.COURSE SUNDAY DINNER Roast Chicken with Dressing: (Half) Fried Spring Chicken . 75 C Large T-Bone §teak.. 85¢ Choice of Our Regular Menu. Baked Ham_or_Roast Mea 503 12th St. N.

All of the mechanical operations about the home-—cleaning, washing, cooking, etc—will be done by electricity, as many now are, but the present processes will be improved, refined, cheapened. End of Can-Opener Cooks. “Speaking of cooking—you remember what I sald about the factory removing task-labor from the home? Well, where is there more drudgery than in cooking and in washing dishes? We have let the laundry take the Monday wash. Why can’t we let some other service ::ke over the cooking and dishwash- g? “The homes of the future will have no cooking inside. Individual cook- houses and kitchens will disappear. There will be community culinary cen- ters where every variety of food de- sired will be scientifically cooked and delivered to homes, much more cheap- ly done than individual cooking can do it, and generally much better done. ‘Power, heat, light for these com- munity centers will be centrally devel- oped or taken off the wires from hydro- electric, gas, oil or coal power plants, at a cost much below the combined cost now of these elements and the kitchen equipment of homes. “Too much drudgery in the home! Too many homes badly located, without sun and air and play room outside for the children! Altogether too much waste going into light, heat and cook- ing, because the whole thing is not scientifically planned and planned on a community scale. “The men who plan the new con- veniences and design the homes of the future are making a greater history than they realize, and it is delightful to see how receptive the people are. The new methods are immediately adopted. The pioneer no longer has to buck against established habits and tradi- . | ways are there to stay. ade) C. L.| t | trees. tomed to change.

Youngsters Need Country Life. “We learned long ago that we are doing the children of our homes great wrong when we shu them away from the sunshine and air and room to roam of the country. It was never intended that they should be deprived of these things. The Jand and the sunshine be- long to the children. It is theirs by natural right. And they need these things as truly as a rose bush needs good soil and sunlight. “The youngsters all know this in these days. I doubt that there is a child over 5 years of age in this country who does not know that the better and hap- pier place is out in the field and among There is no swimming pool in the world that hits a boy's fancy like a deep pool in & turn of the creek. ““The physical, mental and moral wholesomeness of our children depend much on giving them the most natural environment possible and all the asso- ciation of parents with them which time will allow. Well, that is just giving the children nature as is, and freelng homes as much as possible from drudgery. “You can't improve on nature. Little children and mother earth are a combi- nation you can't improve on. The time has passed when thinking people want 10 live in the city. And I think the time will soon come when we will say that children shall not live in the city.” (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daver Alllance.)
