REAL ESTATE. ARCHITECTS VOTE FOUR ECONOMIES Reduction of Expenditures and Efforts to Seoure U. 8. Work Included. Calling for national suj from members' of_the American itute of ‘Architects, Ernest John Russell of St. {Iouis, the institute's president, today Ffannounced four measures adopted by the tioard of directors to meet & s in the affairs of the organization, which was founded 76 years ago. Wide reduction in expenditures, re- mission of back dues conditional on full payment for 1933, renewed action to se- loyment of private architects on government building projects, and omission of the 1935 convention were the steps voted by the board. “It is a source of joy,” said Mr. Rus- sell, “to realize that the architects throughout the country are determined to equip themselves more thoroughly so to be ready to serve their com- munities and their clients. “The board members met squarely fhe problems placed before them and re- affirmed the vitality of the American Institute of Architects which last year celebrated its seventy-fith anniversary.” Salaries Again Cut. Drastic reductions in the budget for 1933 affected committee appropriations and chapter visiting funds, Mr. Russell declared. It was necessary to reduce again the salaries of the executive staft, which had been cut a year ago, and to discontinue after June 30 the operation of the structural serVice department of the institute. ’ ‘With formal approval of the elimina- tion of the 1933 convention, the board placed plans for the 1934 meeting in the hands of the Executive Committee. A report on the project will be made in November. Officers of the institute, Mr. Russell explained, will continue to serve until the close of the next convention under the revised status. The president, there- fore, will be ineligible for re-election as he will have served the equivalent of two terms. Remission of back dues, he asserts, was voted by the board of directors in an effort to assist individual members of the institute “who have loyally sup- ported it but are unable temporarily to carry their full share of its financial burden.” The board remitted 1931 and 1932 dues of members who are in ll'-I rears, provided that those who desired to avail themselves of the o] unity apply in writing and pey their 1933 dues in full. Private Architects Approved. Employment of private architects for gnvernmem, work, 8 measure sponsored v the institute, has won approval of the United States Chamber of Com- merce and many members of both houses of Congress, accor to Mr. Russell. Introduction of sucl , he continues, is contingent on action by President Roosevelt to consolidate gov- ermment departments and place public works in the hands of a single agency. The work of the standing and special eommittees of the institute Mr. Russell maintains, is carried on now with al- most nominal appropriations, although the personal interest and support of more than 600 members is enlisted. Publication of Octagon, offi- cial organ of the institute, will be con- tinued under the revised schedule of i expenditures. 1 Oceupancy Permits A totel of 113 occupancy rmits were issued by the District lding Inspector during the last week.

They're great for parties because it isn’t at all necessary to treat them with care. No rugs need adorn the floor—it can be painted or covered with lino- Jeum just as you wish. Such uncar- peted floors can be kept waxed for dancing, too, and they won't complain in the least if ashes or crumbs are spilled on them. Suppose you have avalilable space in your cellar and wish to create a family fun room. Here’s how to go about it. We'll begin with the floor. Floors May Be Waxed. Most cellar floors are of cement which is cold, of course, and not good for dancing. First of all, the cement should be sized and hardened with one of the new special liquids made for that purpose. If the cement is not particu- lar] floors be_waxed berg, 519 Massachusetts avenue; cream. Raoul Alamo, 2915 Fourteenth street; barber shop. George P.

If you want to be very “swank’"—after the ground color is dry—egive the floor a border or all-over pattern with stencil or pounce- pattern methods. Now for the walls. Most basements have bricked walls, and bricks, as you know, can be painted. You will find light-reflecting colors, such as creams and buffs, particularly attractive. If you wish to cover the brick, you'll find that wallboard is inexpensive and | that it can easily be painted and deco- rated with attractive stencil designs. The wallboard also can be cut, fitted and finished to suggest an Old World plaster interior. ‘Walls May Be Decorated. Or the walls may be decorated with modernistic designs if you desire—or | with s painted wallboard fe which imitation flowers and trees | appear. If you wish to suggest a gar- | den, you can use lattice work to hide ners necessary for storage. Whatever wall decoration is chosen | will suggest mildly what the rest of the furnishings ought to be. If your room simulates a garden, you can use wicker | and reed furniture, but if your wall and | floor decoration is more sedate, the fur- nishing should, of course, be in keeping. Sturdy old chairs and tables, which have long been discarded, may be | brought forth and used to advantage in this room with a little recondition- ing. | An interectinimet to a fun room is a ping-pong tabl sive if made of wallboard. It is an advantage to have your wallboard in |two equal pileces and hinged in the | middle so that it can be folded up and put away when not in use. Two card | tables serve admirably as the base. The | official measurements for a ping-pong court are 9 by 5 feet. Moulding Gives Wallboard Support. A natrrow wooden molding around the edge underneath will strengthen the wallboard, which should be coated with a flat paint and then covered with two coats of dark-green enamel. ‘The court can also be laid off with a white enamel. Balls, racquets and the |net are obtainable for a small sum at any sporting goods store. | To have a recreation room means the youngest youngsters—a op for the ambitious members of the fam- ily who sre interested in the arts and crafts—a happy club room for those who like to dance, and a novel setting for card parties and other festivities.

All softwood orders are 4 per cent above last year; hardwood orders 9 per cent above. Except for Northern hardwoods, all re- gilons reported production below the corresponding week of last year. New business at the Southern pine | mills was 46 per cent of capacity; at Western pine mills, 22 per cent; at| Southern hardwood mills, 30 per cent, with 37, 18 and 34 per cent, | respectively, for the previous week.

P R ANTENNA DEVELOPED FOR 3,000 RECEIVERS Development of & radio antenna for apartment houses which will operate a multiple channel system with a capacity of 3,000 receivers may be utilized to re- place individual antennas now in use on the roofs of such ldings in large cities. This equipment, which hes re- cently been developed by the Bell Tele- phone laboratories for the Western Electric Co., is in reality a multiple channel radio distribution system which will do away with the maze of antennas cluttering up apartment house roofs. It 18 described as the 3A radio distribu- tion system. In the early days of broadcasting it was rne’!‘lly considered essential to provide tenna each for broadcasting receiver. Operation of this new system, ac- cording to the Laboratories Record, “employs but a single antenna properly designed to efficiently collect all signals in the broadcast band. Most of the problems of the design center around the distribution of the signals to the numerous apartments in the buflding' with a minimum of attenuation.” First Showing 3206 Tennyson St. $9,500!
