Now rooms are blossoming forth with, Chinese red, black, navy blue and other vig- orous shades outlining door panels, top curve of the baseboard, ceiling moulding and window trims. It is fashionable to outline the trim ini contrasting colors, and such a treatment imparts expression to a house lacking in character or indi- viduality. Vigorous shades may be used in the living roomns, hall, dining room, kitchen, etc. But pastel shades are more correct in bedrooms. In anv case, the colors selected should be a defiuite part of the color scheme, llending or contrasting smartly with the outstand(iIlg color of- the room. Home owncrs taking advantage of modernization loans made available- by the Federal Housing Administra- tion, miglit find it opportune to mod- ernize the %vo(l trimi while the house is undergoing its transformation. Women Interested in Modern Kitchen Women visitors to A Century of Progress exposition are showing a significant interest in the modemn- ized kitchens featured there, ac-- cording to Mrs. Dorothy McGeehan, home science expert and director of the Kitchen Planning Institute of New York. "In a recent visit to the World's Fair," says Mrs. .,vcGeehati, "I was impressed by the crowds of wvomen attracted to the eigliteen model kit- chens scattered among the various household exhibits, -and I was even more impressed by the types ,of ques- tions which these wvomen wvere asking. ."Lt is mot iiirely the modlern appli- ances which interested these modemn housekeepers; it is more particularly, the basic idea that present kitchens -H*ome Loan* -Federal Farm Ii BONDS-Municipal :Enyart, Vau Camp &Fefl, I * Stoeks-Boflda-Tai Warrants *39 S.

Old Home Look Young Provided the physical structure is stili sound, the exterior of an old house frequently can be brought up to date at small cost. Money for improvements of this1 kind cannow be obtained f rom your local bank or other financial institu- tion through the credit facilities madei available by the Natonal Housing Act. Paint is the great restorer of ex- terior appearances. Sometimes, how- ever, the exterior surface is either out-worii or out-dated, in wvhich case a new surface.is required. There are many materials on the market which lend theniselves to this use. New clapboarding, new shin- gles, waterproof composition board, a coating of stucco or a veneer of brick, are the most common methods of re surfacing. The modemi trend is toward sim- plicity of design. Removal of ginger- bread ornaments or fancy trimi will usuallv make a house look younger. Labor and material prices are such that they make improvements of this kind a good investment at the pres- ent time. METAL PARTS IMPORTANT. The metal parts of the home are« among the niore important features that require attention after years of niegledt because of inability of prop- erty owners to carry on ordinary maintenance work. Studies should be given these fe.atures by home own- ers in undertaking modemnization projects. When flashings and gutter wvork are improperly placed or of poorly selected metals, there is too great a loss of value in the structure. The leaks wvhich are caused by poorly placed flashings around window frames and at the chnney lime are the ones wvhich rapidly decrease the value of the home. Doorways-how often are they considered as mere holes in a waIl for entrance and exit purposes, and how 'often do they presentan appear- :an.ce ail too suggestive of just that! aIn reality, there is scarely a detail that can add more, distinction to, a -home than its doors. It now costs .no more to have do-ors of good de- sign and quality than to instaîl ugly ones of nondescript appearance. 1933 FORD SEDANS Brand'New 'Tires and Finish ý... .. $395 EVANSTON NASH CO. 1735 Benson Avetiue 1% -biocks forth of Davis St. "L" October 18, 1934 ur ir i ù ip lr Ir 1P ýT- 1 IP P Modernizing Plan Has Four-Fold A im, Committee A sserts A fourfold aim, with the recovery of local business as the ultimate goal of the Better Housing program in eff ect locally. 441f the program achieves the degree of success expected of it," states the local Better Housing committee, 66many obless men whose livelihood depends upon the many trades and industries related to building will be employed,; thousands of idle. dollars wilreenter circulation; relief ex- penditures wiIl be reduced, and properties will increase in value and improve in appearance. Construction at Standstfl "No group," the committee con- tinued, "has been harder hit by the depression than workers in the build- ing industries and trades. New con- struction bas dropped nearly 90 per cent from what it was from 1926 to 1929. About one-third of the workers whose families now are on the relief rolîs are normally employed, directly in building, and many other fields are imdirectly dependent upon this in- dustry for a livelihood. Until these workers are largely reemployed, no community can enjoy a full measure of prosperity. "The last Congress recognized this fact. The National Housimg Act was passed, one of whose purposes is to restore to useful private enterprise the Iargest group of workers still un- employed. Ease Loaning Market "Among other things t his Act should make available, through private lending agencies, approxi- mately one billion dollars for fimanc- img alterations, repairs and improve- ments upon aIl types of real property, at the lowest charges ever offered for t hi type of loan. "A large part of every dollar spent for modernizing goes directly to labor and is immediately put back into the channels of retail trade. More people, therefore, must go to work -in other trades, industries, and businesses to handle the increased buying power of the workers directly affected by the plan. Money mot paid directly to labor goes for materials. More people areput to«work, as a result, to help in dexria nd for improvement projects. More men must go to work, subse- quently, on the railroads, to help ship the supplies. AIl this means ý more money in circgation-more. buying power-more business.
