?Whether Home Is To

Tin unusually large demand fur
low-cost homes has not altered the
fact that the small house must be as
attractive, efficient, livable, and dur- j
able as more expensive homes in or- [
der t?> bt~ marketed to the careful
buyer of today.
This was asserted recently by of- !
ficiaLs, who added that it is no long- 1
er enough for the home to be val
ued at a pricu the average wage- i
earner can afford. The house now
must meet minimum, construction i
standards which are both sensible J
and consistent with the type of the
dwelling. It must be compatible with
the needs of the family which will :
occupy it. and it must be located in !
a neighborhood reasonably free from I
the type of hazards that tend to de- j
stroy residential property values. I

The modern small home is in '
many respects as complete a dwell- I

quality of standard equipment that I
now comes with the small home, j
such as automatic heating plants,
modem ranges, and mechanical Re
frigerators. it represents a great ad
vance over the small house of even
a few years ago.

Insulation Aids In

Not Only Will Insulation Pro-!
\i?l?? Comfort Hot It ^ ill
Itr Economical
The importance of proper insula
tion has only been appreciated with
1 in the past 20 or 25 years, building
experts say.
As a result of the growing appre
ciation of dwelling insulation, ma
terials have been developed which [
i not only are highly efficient from live [
J standpoint of heat resistance hut
I may readily be adapted to eonven
11tonal methods of residential eon
struct ion.
Home.*, should be insulated in such j
a way as to produce comfort and !
economy of operation.
In summer the uninsulated home
is often wanner than outdoors In
! winter the uninsulated home is draffy
and expensive to heat; it has cold I
exterior walls, rooms too cold in!
j severe weather which necessitates
closing, them off, and cold-air drafts !
? 111 s.tair wells, and upstairs quarters I
are difficult to heat. j
By introducing insulation into the j
construction of roofs or uppermost
ceilings, tlie enclosing walls, and
tloors with no heated basements be
I low, a prospective home builder is
insuring against beat loss. Officials
say that the wclMnsulated house re
; quires less heat, reflecting a saving
not only in the original cost of heat
nig equipment but also in the annual
! fuel cost

Questions And
Answers . . .
U. Is it possible to make a house
which is square or rectangular in
shape appear interesting?
A. Achieving an interesting ex
terior appearance for rectangular
shaped houses requires more ingen
uity than for those which are L-, Q-,
or Z-shaped Good wall-opening ar
rangements, care in selection and
use of materials, and design of mi
nor details are important. Often the
use of a well-proportioned porch, a
bay window, and an attractive en
trance door way will assist ip obtain
ing an interesting app< aranc e Well
planned garden walls,* fences, and
similar accessories can be used to
give the house individuality. At
also an effective means of achieving
variety. It tends to make the house
appear larger by increasing the ex-?
tenor mass of the house.

ner in connection with paint and
what are the best kinds?

be related to the paint. Paint manu
facturers usually recommend the
