BY LAWRENCE TUCKER. Washington shoppers will welcome the decision made by two more of the city's department stores to air-con- ! dition large areas of their buildings within the next few months Kann's store, located at Eighth and the Market space, is proceeding with the installation of a giant air-con- ditioning system, which will supply cool, conditioned air to the entire basement, first, second and third floors. The refrigerating machinery used to cool this tremendous area will re- quire 500 horsepower and will be con- nected to 30 large air-conditioning units located on the various floors. These units will circulate cooled, filtered air through an elaborate sys- tem of ducts to the different depart- ments, where people may browse around in perfect comfort on even the hottest days Three Firms Collaborate. ‘Two air condulumxfi manufacturers and one contractor are collaborating in the installation of the equipment. One organization will install the re- frigeration compressors, another will install the air conditioning units, and the third will do all the necessary piping and sheet metal duct work. This installation promises to be one of the outstanding air conditioning systems in the country, and will do much to maintain the fine reputation enjoyed by the store. Lansburgh's Department Store at Eighth and E streets will soon provide | air conditioned comfort to the patrons of the beauty parlor on the fourth floor, the fitting rooms on the second | floor, and will complete the air con- ditioning of the entire first floor. Suspended Unit Type. Air conditioners of the suspended unit type will be placed in the con- ! | ditioned areas on the first and second | floors. They will be connected to | 1arge refrigeration machines placed in the basement, aithough the equipment ! for the beauty parlor will be operated from a separate plant on the fourth | floor. Women that have nearly their hair waved or dried under | electrical appliances will find they | have nothing more to worry about | this summer.

The owners of department stores and dress shops have found that the | spoilage of cloth goods from perspira- ‘ tion during the Summer months is tremendous and naturally results in a great loss. In fact, the savings from the elimination of this evil are so considerable, the installation of air conditioning in fitting rooms alone will almost warrant the expense of the system. Value Quickly Realized. ‘The department stores have been quick to realize the value of enabling their customers to shop in comfort and the announcement of these con- templated systems adds to an impres- sive array of installations. Garfinkle’s, at Fourteenth and F streets, were far- sighted enough to install air con- ditioning in their new bullding when it was constructed six years ago. Last year Woodward & Lothrop in- stalled a large system for their beauty parlor and fountain room, and the Hecht Co. provided for the comfort of | women’s clothing | their men’s and department patrons. Washington merchants are certainly doing their best to correct a great cause of reduced Summer business, and are also helping to boost the morale of their employes during the dog days. It will no doubt be re- flected in increased profits, and even more widespread use throughout their establishments. Shingle Sale Spurred. A lumber dealer of Pana, IIl, with | only 5800 population, has achieved a | record in modernization sales under | the better housing program of the | Federal Housing Administration. He has sold over 100 wood shingle jobs for residences in his town, financing | these jobs through the Manchester | Bank of St. Louis, according to a re- port recently received.

C., SATURDAY, d_From First Page.) as civic organizations, was passed by the Senate February 12. Officials of | the Washington Real Estate Board, who for 10 years had been trying to get through Congress a license law, were optimistic, as this was earlier in the session than the bill had passed either the Senate or the House in any of the other attempts at enactment. Three days after its passage by the Senate, the bill was referred to the House District Committee, and later sent to the House District Subcom- mittee on Judiciary, of which Rep- resentative Palmisano, Democral, of Maryland, is chairman. The bil! has | not been heard from since. The date | for the subcommittee hearing nas not | been set, and realty board heads have been told the bill is buried bencath 2 | pile of District regulations. However, its sponsors are still confident of the bill's approval during this session. The code for the real estate brok- | erage industry was largely the child of the National Association of Real | Estate Boards. It was drafted by the | association and went into effect i April last year. In the months that followed, it was kicked about in N. R. A. | A procession of nearly a half dozen code administrators followed one | another and with each change it be- | came clearer it would never reach its | full effectiveness. | The administration and the 1ndus-! try never agreed on the means of “po- licing” for enforcement of the code | provisions. Another controversial matter which was not settled was the budget for enforcement. However, | there were a number of prosecutions |as a result of the code, and the fact | that a code of fair competition was in existence had the effect of keeping | the industry cleaner throughout the country, Although the license law which would affect all branches of the real estale business contains many of the essential provisions of the brokerage code it is more far reaching. Real | estate men believe it would be much easier to enforce than the code, and a more strict governor could be kept | on the business, as it is a purely local measure, while the code was written from a national viewpoint. License laws similar to the one pro- | vided for in the present bill have been passed in 25 States, including nearby Virginia. In each instance the regu- lations have brought a large amount of protection to the public and have improved the quality and reputation of the business. Double-Deck Bed Convertible. | .
