Homes Demonstration ; Original Program Gave Them Another Two Wreeks P.eady on scheduled time?two weeks ? tearlier than originally planned?House I No. 6 in The Tribune's plan series will ! be officially opened to-morrow noon at Larchmont Gardens as the New York City suburban demonstration house in the national observance of the first an? nual "Bettor Homes Week." Completely furniished and equipped throughout, with an eye to every mod? ern convenience for the housewife and at moderate cost for the financial head of the family, built of the best ma? terials as one of the model houses in The Tribune's campaign to aid our readers in determining present-day home building costs and conditions, every home seeker should pay a visit to* the Better Homes Week demonstra? tion house. It will be open daily from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. from October 9 to 16, inclusive, completely furnished, and ior throe weeks thereafter, in connec? tion with our construction costs cam? paign, under the supervision of the Home Owners' Service Institute. Papcrhangers did not complete their work until yesterday noon. Landscape gardeners complete the planting of tiees and shrubbery to-day. The paint? ers will give the five-room Colonial frame house its final coat of white body paint to-morrow morning, and for this reason visitor? are warned to keep in hands and arms for the first day. Inside all is completed. The furni? ture, hangings and rugs are in perfect harmony with the shining woodwork and wall coverings. Throughout the Colonial atmosphere maintains. It in noticeable even in the electrical fix? tures and the china. The task of finishing Tribune House No. 8 was a much larger undertaking within the time allowed after it had been selects?! as one of New York's of I ricial Better Hornea Weck demonstra? tion dwellings. Last week each night electric lights were trained on the ex? terior to complete the. brick walls, con? crete floors of its three porches and to finish other exterior work. Likewise, the advisory committee on furniture and decoration, headed by Mrs. G. Vernor Rogers, its chairman, had many problems to meet and over? come. Wall paper had to be applied at the last minute, as the plaster only dried out in certain rooms on Satur? day. Floors were varnished Friday. Furnishings were being moved in yes? terday as the paperhangers stepped out. But by to-night ali will be complete. The electric lights wiil be turned on. And, we may as well add, the windows trill be washed. To the Empire Homebuilding Asso? ciation, as builders; to the Wall Paper Guild, as decorators; to W. & J. Sloane and.

W ?74 Broadway, N. Y. uled to Amawalk Nursery, for the rec? ord completion of landscaping and grading; to the supervision of the Home Owners' Service Institute and the guidance of the members of the advisory council who arranged for its furnishing and decoration, is due the credit for this unusual performance of homo building and equipping. ??? ?e House Furnishings Selected May Be Bought for $3,500 Committee Exercises Ex? treme Care in Fitting Up Little House; Good Taste and Price Guided It In selecting the furniture for the five-room "Better Homes Week" de? monstration house, members of the Advisory Committee on Furniture and Decoration launched out to see what could be done for a quiet, sensible young couple?such as might occupy this kind of home?who would care enough about making it comfortable, restful and artistic to spend as much as $2,500 to $3,500. Remembering that the W. & J. Sloane store, on Fifth Avenue, at' Forty-seventh Street had furnished the demonstration house at the 1922 "Own Your Home" Exposition, the committee decided to put its problem up to William Sloane Coffin, vice-president. Mr. Coffin, heading the educational committee of the New York Art-in Trades Club, and largely responsible for the New York University course in small house furnishing and decoration, immediately volunteered his services. W. & J. Sloane have furnished the house completely with the exception of electrical equipment and certain ?decorative pieces supplied by Oving ton's. To visit the demonstration house at Larchmont and seo its furnishings is sufficient to prove to the average home seeker of moderate means that it is possible to completely equip a small house at certain Fifth Avenue stores at no greater cost that similar furnishings, though perhaps not as well made, can be purchased at other stores. Throughout the Colonial atmosphere of this house has been maintained in the selection of hangings, rugs and furniture. In the large master bed room on the second floor the interest? ing chinz bed spread harmonizes with the set of painted enamel furniture. This bed spread is copied in hand blocked English linen from a design of wall paper in tho famous Rope home in Salem, Mass. The living room and dining room rugs, respectively Oriental and Chinese in pattern, are not out of place in a Colonial American setting. It will bo remembered that the New England traders did a very large China and Oriental business when American sail? ing vessels rivaled England on the seas. Such rugs were on the floors of many old American homes. The china set from Ovington's?cream colored, with brilliant orange border and pheasant bird center?is of Cauld? ron's make, an English china manu facturered in Colonial days. The andirons and fireplace set are of Col? onial type, in bronze and black iron. The vases are of odd shapes and colors, in quaint old designs. None of the pieces selected are high priced. England Now Building Banks Instead of Homes American Architect Just Back Says That Is Only Con? struction Under Way Alfred C. Bossom who returned re? cently from England where he had gone with an invitation from the New York Architectural League to the Royal Institute of British Architects to 6end an exhibition to this country | next year, said that England was now more engaged in building bankB than in building homes. * "All of the great housing schemes of the government are practically com? pleted," said Mr. Bossom yesterday. "No private investors are building, but I the English banks seem to have taken a lesson from the American bankers and are enlarging, changing and im? proving their quarters in a ver.* great many places. In fact, this is almost the only building work that is being carried out. "Sixty years ago there was a wave of bank building throughout England, j but from that time until the present there has been very little activity. Their London bank architecture is a decided contrast to the American buildings in that the exteriors in the majority of cases are far more elabo? rate and the interiors far more simple, English building trades find them? selves to-day with practically nothing to do but that offered by banks." ? ? ??

Tribune House No. 6 is indeed an "electrically equipped economy home," such as the electrical Industry has been demon? strating in various cities throughout the country in recent years. Under the supervision of the Tribune Insti? tute and the Rome Owners' Service In? stitute, it is the opinion of the ad? visory committee members this "Bet? ter Homes Week" demonstration house is electrically equipped within the range of tho pocketbooks of the aver? age families, which frequently has not been the case in some demonstration houses featuring electric devices, A five-foot model of Tribune House ?No. 6 is featured as one of the ex? hibits at the Electrical Show, which opened yesterday in the Grand Central Palace. In the completed house at Larchmont Gardens can be seen all of the electrical equipment indorsed by the Tribune Institute necessary to lighten the work of the average woman about the small home: clothes washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner, mangier and ironer for heavy pieces, small heater to take off the chill, elec? tric fan for the warm weather and such smaller pieces as hand iron, bed warm? er, curling iron, toaster, percolator, etc. An electric range is not used; in? stead, a Crane range. The water heat- ' er is gas burning. The Society for Electrical Development and the Amer? ican Gas Association co-operated in the designing of the electric and gas in? stallation, respectively. ? ?

Orowell, of New York, Colonial Feeling Has Been Put Into All Rooms in House By Use of Well Chosen Wall Paper Wonderful Atmo? sphere of Comfort and Dignity Has Been Given To achieve the most artistic and pleasing results with wall coverings for the interior decoration of the "Bet? ter Homes Week" demonstration house at Larchmont Gardens, the advice and counsel of the Wall Paper Guild crafts? men were sought. C, W. Cousins, ad? vertising director of the Guild, repre? senting the Wall Paper Manufacturers' Association of the United States, per? sonally took charge of selecting the proper wall papers for backgrounds in each roorh, in harmony and in keeping with the hangings, floor coverings and furniture. Throughout the Colonial atmosphere has been played up in the selection oi wall coverings. A most practical dem? onstration of the right use of wal paper has resulted. As you enter the inviting doorway tho soft-toned scenio wall paper ii cheerful tan colorings strikes the key note of the color scheme which ha been enrried out throughout tb ground floor. The paper which ha been used in the hallway is one o those subtle, unobtrusive pattern which piques the curiosity and instant ly gives individuality and distinctio to tne home. The selection of this pai ticular paper was most happy, its col orings providing a pleasant transitio from the somewhat deeper-toned gras cloth desigr on the wall of the livln room, to the lighter and more luminou satin-stripe paper used in the dinin room. The vertical stripe in the dii ing room paper serves to elevate th ceiling ana convey an idea of heigl so essential to a medium sized dinm room of the Colonial type. Every Room Has Charm The larger or master's bedroom carried out in ivory with a delicate patterned ivory-toned paper, matciiii the hand-painted ivory furniture. Tl smaller bedroom is carried out in ne tral tones of yellow with a close a over two-toned .paper blending he moniously with the antique light wi nut furniture. Walnut was chosen by the committ in charge of decorating the moc home because no other medium of wi decoration lends itself so admirably : carrying out the architect's and ini rior decorator's ideas of home comfi I and attractiveness. Its availability 1 home-builders of moderate circu stances was also a consideration, though effect was of first importanc Of the various methods of wall de ration which were considered in wo ing out the various color schemes the different rooms of the house, w paper is the only medium of decorat which can be actually visualized bef it is placed on the wall.

In keeping with the practical policy which has been adopted in the experi? mental home building campaign under? taken for thfj benefit of Tribune read? ers under the supervision of the Home Owners' Service Institut?, Inc., one of the most important and safest sources of financial aid to the moderate cost home builder, was utilized in the con? struction of House No. 6, at Larch? mont Gardens.

Country Is Building Up Good Supply of Homes Reports Show Many Millions of Dollars Are Going.Into Construction Although builders in greater New York are not as heavily engaged in construction as they were during Au? gust and early September of last year, the country as a whole is passing out of the housing shortage state. It will be a year or more before the shortage has been reduced to a minimum. The fact that buildings are being pro? duced has had a pacifying effect, and dwellers, especially those whose cir? cumstances are such that they must pay others for the use of homes, are looking forward with some degree of assurance to the timo when there will be enough housings to bring down rents, Statistics collected by "The American j Constructor," covering 202 cities, show that 61,104 buildings were planned during August. They will cost $225,- j 543,419 to build. During the previous month 50,332 buildings were planned in 195 cities. The cost of July con? struction wa.3 estimated at $212,314,292. In twenty of the leading cities of the country', which are the great pulse centers of the nation in building as well as in other things, a better tone in construction was indicated. The i line on the chart representing the total i amount of money appropriated each month for new building, has turned and is now on an upward plane. Dur? ing June this line showed a sharp de? cline. Entering July construction in? vestment in these cities increased and there is nothing to indicate that the line will not continu? to follow an up-j ward slant. Realty Boards to Conduct Next Home Exposition Committee Comprising Lead? ers in Many Sections to Di reel Show in April The next "own your home" exposi? tion, which is scheduled to be held in the 69th Regiment Armory in April, will be conducted by the real estate boards located in the metropolitan dis? trict. Robert H. Sexton, who intro? duced the show to New York several years ago and has Btaged home shows in several large cities of the East, de? cided some time ago that an exposition of this nature should not be conducted by an individual or a private enterprise hut by the building and real estate men of the locality. Conducted as a pri? vate enterprise, only a certain degree of success was possible because of the jealousies that develop because it was individual effort. Trade men, too, are not so eager to co-operate in a private undertaking as in a public one. With hundreds of men directly or in? directly attracted to home building back of the exposition it will become a public enterprise and naturally one of greater scope. Real estate organiza? tions hold a neutral position with re? gard to building industry. The organized real estate interests of the district responded to the invitation of Mr. Sexton to get back of the "own your he ne" exposition. Several con? ferences were held, with the result that a permanent committee of administra? tion was organized. On the commit? tee are: Charles G. Edwards, president, and William C. Demorest, board of gov? ernors of the Real Estate Board of New York; James B. Fisher, president, and William H. Gary, committee chair? man of the Brooklyn Real Estate Board; Stephen Yates, ex-preaident, and Granville H. Rome, treasurer of the Long Island Real Estate Board; Stephen L. Angel?, president, and May? or Edward W. Fiske, second vice-pres? ident of the Weitchester County Realty Board; Theodore Van Winkle, pres? ident Greater Rutherford Real Estate Board, and Arthur S. Hughes, president Board of Realtors of Passaic, of North? ern New Jersey. Mr. Sexton; will be managing direc? tor of the exposition. To Build Houses in Yonkers George Howe sold thirteen lots on the wast sida of Rumsey Road, in Yonkers, to the Yonkere Contracting Company, whieb will erect seven-room residences. cedure involved in financing the con? struction of House No. 6?the method which must be employed by any in? dividual applying to any eavings and loan association for a first mortgage loan?together with actual figures in this instance, will undoubtedly be of value to the prospective home builder. "Miss Margaret Wickham, as the pros? pective home owner, opened a regular savings account with the Railroad Co? operative Building and Loan Associa? tion of New York. When the time came to build the model house she made ap? plication to this association for s mortgage loan of $6,000, which was immediately granted after careful ap? praisal. Conditions of Loan This mortgage is to be paid back under the building and loan associa? tion plan at the rate of $60 a month. This amount covers both principal and interest and pays off the mortgage completely in eleven years and seven months. Certain actual costs of ar? ranging this loan, amounting to $21.5, were paid by the borrower, including searching title to the land, drawing building loan agreement, architect's fee for examining plans and specifica? tions (for appraisal purposes), fee for appraising value of lot, drawing and recording legal papers in the trans? action, war revenue tax on mortgage and New York State mortgage tax (one half of 1 per cent). The $6,000 advanced by the building and loan association was paid in four installments to the home owner during the progress of building construction as fo?lows: **? First payment when cellar excava? tions and foundations were finished Second payment when framing and roof was completed. Third payment when- the building had reached the stage of completing interior plastering. Fourth payment upon completion of house. In this manner financial assistance was provided when necessary to make payments to contractors and for ma? terials and equipment. The prospective home builder who wishes to take advantage of this ex? cellent method of financing may do so in a very ?imple manner. The first step is to open an installment sav? ings account with a good building and loan association. Interest is paid on all such accounts at the rat? of 5 per cent per annum and creates a mem? bership in the association for euch depositor. G. A. Mart?n, president of the Rail? road Co-operative Association which made the loan, says that at present all reasonable loan applications are being granted to members of six months or more standing in his association. When ready to build his home the member presents an application for a loan, accompanied by the plans and specifications of his propos?e! dwelling.
