PAPER HANGERS HOLD MEETING

|Color in Home to Be Studied

At E. Washington St. Firm’s. Demonstration.

“Color in the home” will be studied tonight at 7 o'clock at the Severin Hotel by more than 500 In-

| diana painters and paper hangers.

Demonstrations ate being sponsored by the Central Wall Paper & Paint Corp., 127 E. Washington St. Fred J. Runte, paint stylist of the ing Co., nts in color theory in his talk on “Color Styling: With Paint.” He will outline an easy method by which exteriors of all the houses in a block may be made to harmonize without sacrificing @individuality.. Under-Coats “Hidden”

He also will present new! color schemes for interiors made possible by improvements in tinting paints and by the “hiding power” of the new titanium pigments developed by such manufacturers as Enterprise. Charles B. Brownson, manager of the Central Corp. said that the titanium pigments intensified delicate tints and enabled paint to “hide” the under-coats more easily. Also on the program which has drawn reservations from most major Indiana cities, will be a demonstration by Hollis Peck, factory representative from the makers of “Unitized” wallpapers. f He will conduct actual tests to demonstrate the four guarantees which “Unitized” Washability, sun-fastness, lack of ghost pattern, and perfect hanging.

No ‘Ghost Patterns’

Mr. Peck will put “Unitized” rolls through his “washability” machine to show how much washing the paper can stand. Results of the fadeometer test, run on every roll before it leaves the factory, will be presented. Mr. Brownson said no “Unitized” papers have ‘ghost patterns” because they are hung in sample rooms at the factory before being released commercially. “Ghost patterns,” he said, are fainter patterns in the paper which are not apparent at the time of purchase but which become “glaring after they are hung and the buyer looks at them for some time.”

NORTH SIDE REALTY SALES AT $59,100

Both the Construction League and the Indiana Society of Architects are seeking to recodify the Indiana building laws.

Cannon fo Talk At IL U. Event

Fermor §. Cannon, president of the Railroadmen's Federal Savings & Loan Association, will discuss the financing of small homes at the Indiana University Mortgage Study Conference to be held in Bloomington y. Three gther local men will attend. Fred T. Greene, president of the Federal Home Loan Bank, is conference chairman. Committee members include Herman C. King, savings and loan supervisor of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions.-and Ivan E. Cooperider, executive secretary of the Savings & Loan League of Indiana. “It has been through savings and loan associations that the building of small homes in large cities has been made possible during the past 50 years,” Mr. Cannon said today. “Associations have aided people of limited incomes to have their own homes. Another important activity by the state associations has been their financing of the rehahilitation of thousands of homes in the past five years. “Sub-standard houses have been raised to standard level, increasing the value of whole neighborhoods.”

10,000 HOUSES ‘NEEDED IN CITY

Building Hasn’t Kept Up With Population, Study | Here Reveals.

Indianapolis has a shortage of nearly 10,000 houses, according to a report prepared annually by the Spickelmier Fuel & Supply Co. and

presented yesterday to the Indian apolis Real Estate Board. :

of Commerce and George Popp, Jr., Indianapolis building commisioner, the report pointed out that between 1931 and 1939 there were 13,627 living units required, but only 4208 were built, :

population, according to the report. Dividing that figure by 3.5 (the average family size) it shows a need of 9143 dwellings. For the same period there were 2242 demolitions with an average of two families occupying each one. This leaves a shortage of 13,627 units. But during the eight-year period 4208 living units were constructed, which makes a balance of 9419 the present shortage. The report then says: : “Accepting as correct normal requirements of 1520 per year (the residential permit average from 1916 to 1930), we require built in Indianapolis during each of five successive years 9419 living units, divided by five, or 1884, plus the yearly requirement of 1520, or an annual minimum of 3404 living units.”

Appraising Has Bright Future, Realtors Told

“Appraising is a wonderful opportunity for young men,” Col. John

Estate Board _at its Washington Hotel luncheon yesterday. Colonel Emery is past president of the Grand Rapids, Mich., Real Estate Board, a past national commander of the American Legion, a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and is Insurance Commissioner for the state of Michigan. “Forty years from now young men who choose appraising will still be in a very permanent husiness,” he said. “And real estate is suffering more today from the factor of ‘not knowing’ than anything else.” The colonel said there were three

|factors affecting the worth of an

appraiser—character, training and experience. “An appraiser must know: Trends, building ' costs and types, principles of land utilization, and he must have horse sense.” He warned that appraisers should not attempt to predict the future values of real estate. : “An appraiser who believes in the ethics of the profession doesn’t look to the future. You can only appraise for today, not tomorrow or

. | next week.”

Future values of real estate, he said, will be dependent upon undigested property, old houses, termites, weer and tear, use of automobiles, acts of the government and war.

Colcnel Emery was introduced by William E. Sayre, deputy adjutant of the American Legion. Eighty members attended the luncheon.

Using figures from the Chamber:

During the last eight years there] is. was a gain of 32,000 in Indianapolis| iis
