B2 REAL ESTATE. ' FABRIATED UNITS | FOR HOMES URGED Whelan, Capital Architect, Points Way to Lower - Building Costs. (Continued From First Page.) the application of a unit shaft to each floor plan Cutlining some of the costly methods and delays now encountered in con- struction work, Mr. Whelan said: “Trades must be segregated. Wit- ness the plumber and steamfitter wait- ing for the carpenter and mason to build walls before he can place his pipes, and the carpenter waiting for the electrician to put in wires before he can finish his walls. These, as well as numerous delays, are prevalent throughout the home building industry. Such practices waste time and money, | and must be discarded as antiquated. { Weather Is Problem. | “Climatic and weather conditions must be coped with. Our present start and stop, grasshopper method of pre- cedure must be eliminated and progress of work allowed to carry on without Interruption. “The trial and error practice of fitting ang refitting piping must be minimized. It is costly Tn both time and material. “Loads must be concentrated so that heavy walls and bearing partitions | may be minimized. | “Mechanical elements must be cen- tralized. Ducts, pipes, wires and con- duits must have direct short runs to outlets and must be accessible for re- pairs. Our present haphazard method of running pipes and wires in a tan- gled maze without regard to the fal- lacies such as leaks and short circuits, that may occur after they have been inclosed in the walls, is a deficiency. “Motor energy must be concentrated to avold unnecessary duplication of urchases. Home owners should not ave to buy a motor to operate an oil burner, another motor to operate an electrical refrigerator, another to create & vacuum for vacuum cleaning and still others to run the clothes washer, the air washer and the dish washer, all ap- pliances that eventually become part of the home ownership.” The plan developed by Mr. Whelan to meet such Pmblem.s would call for B{o\won for all mechanical equipment the units of the shaft. The first unit as proposed would con- tain such equipment as an air-condi- tioned heating system, a hot-water heating sydtem and storage tank, a cocl- ing system and refrigerator plant, a water softener, an incinerator, a vacuum cleaning system and service connections for sewer, gas, water, electricity and telephone. Other Uses Possible. If the air-conditioning system be not desired, its space could be used for a steam or hot-water furnace with a gas or ofl burner. The second unit, in such a system, would contain a kitchen sink and drainboard, pre-fabricated kitchen dresser and electric refrigerator. Though intended primarily as a pantry for a small house, it could be converted into a kitchen by the use of a stove in place of one of the dressers. The third type of unit could be a complete bath room, with a tub and shower combination, toilet, lavatory, medicine cabinet, metal floor tiling and all _electric fixtures and accessories. The ceilings of the second and third ‘units would be fitted so they could be cropped in the manner of a trap door 50 that the piping above could be read- ily reached in case of mechanical trouble. Any necessary utility connections on the various floors of a house or other type of building could be made in the units of the shaft at floor levels. REALTY CORPORATIONS AT SILVER SPRING! E.

Rust Company ‘ . /\IGHTCLUBDAUGHTER <23 By atharine OUR blocks from the apartment house (“Aj] ents and Single Rooms with Bath”), they turned, after cautious survey, from the alley to a street, and here they found a roaming taxicab. Molly gave a Camden address in an undertone and they started. “We done it!” she said triumphantly. “We made our get-away!” Carroll had never realized that hu- man beings lived in such places as Molly called “home.” Carroll knew of the poor vaguely; pitied them really, and she had given to need generously from an allowance that Jersey had prided herself on making, “a heap sight bigger than any other kid’s” that she knéw! These quarters were unbelievable; the small, crowded room; the one-burner gas plate with the rubber tube that leaked to make heads ache; the soiled mattress on the floor, the cot, and, for chance at air, the cramped fire escape: the straight chairs with broken rungs and backs; the cracked plates, handle- less cups, and the almost toothless comb and worn-down brush by these on the table that trembled with a touch. And a fiith standable with no water save that ‘which came from a dripping tap in the dark, odorous hall, two flights below. Molly Heuter and her mother were very kind to Carroll, who began to cry when she looked at the backing for this kindness. She would give them a background that would match their hearts, Carroll decided, if she could ever get that money, now hers, that }v:rs%y had put in “the good ole sock"” or her. She watched Molly and her mother looking at the clothes s! ouldn’t take with her and their ecstasies made her cry more. She tried to eat and she could not. At 9, every one went to bed, Molly and her mother soon slept; Car- roll did not. Once it seemed to her that Jersey bent above her, murmuring, “An’ how's mammy's I’ girl?” and it seemed, too, when half sleeping, she called, “Theresa!” that Theresa said, “Comin’, kid, and jes’ keep your LI shirt on, Tresa’s right here!" But, of course, she reasoned in the dawn, this wasn't true. Molly called her at 5 o'clock to &/ rising both cold and dark. Carroll dressed without bathing to find that the sense of filthiness may be strong | enough to push through tragedy. She| that was under- | said her adieus to Molly and to Molly's | mother in their apartment. She re- membered enough to feel it was safest for them, that way. Then she dragged her bags down the steep, dark stairs that were gritty under foot | Two blocks away, as Molly had said, she found a taxicab stand. In the cab, she kept firm hold on her hand- | bag and she repeated her lesson: She was to board the first train that | would take here anywhere but to New | York; she was to ride for at least 100 | miles; her name was Carrie Jones | (“Carrie Jones, Carrie Jones, Carrie| Jones”), and she was to hunt work | with some dressmaker because she could do nice sewing. The taxicab came to a pulsin ‘The driver was waiting for his she stepped from the cab. “Thank you, miss,” sald the driver, as he touched his cap. She was very pretty, but he guessed she had been on a toot the night before. He was certain of this when she faltered, “Did I—give you a tip?” “Yes, miss, you gimme quahtah,” he answered. Then he knew she was still in the grip of ‘a big night. She said. “Thank you. Thank you so0 much He watched her lurching into the station waiting room, strained by the | ‘weight of her bag and hat box. With | a little cynical smile on his lips he | slammed his door with the tinny voice. | Within the station Carroll turned to | the call board. There was a train due within a few moments (she glanced at, her wrist watch) that would take her | ga )isnmter or on to a place called | ork. Everywhere on the sooty train people' were reading of the O'Grady-Kiliroy murcder—"“gangster stuff again.” Ther- esa was described as Miss O'Grady's personal maid, and although perhaps this gave false impression, Theresa was | a very personal mald. She had never had her “piture” took, | but a newspaper artist who stood in | with _the coroner had done very well | in_producing a living, vibrant Theresa | with black ink and blank paper. And, | of course, there were photographs, taken | with flashlights, of the scene of the murders. The girl who had become Carrie Jones by the old and effectve rote| method of learning (the subconscious | was not on the job), sat huddled against a window, which let in far- reaching tendrils of cold. She kept her coat collar high and her head low, | but even at that sundry gentlemen glanced her way often and long. About two hours later, she thought stop. are as ; 4 bedrooms; 2 ren St N.

She rose as the train slowed; she clamped her bandbag beneath one arm and managed to drag out her baggage. It bumped her calves and shins as she moved, but she did not know she was making bruises at which she would wonder later. The Lancaster station was remarka- bly urban for so suburban surroundings.
