Plant All Sprin

Garden work for the fall: Narcissus, crocus, hyacinth, snowdrops,

glory-of-the-snow and other spring bulbs should be planted now. Tulips, the only exception, are better planged in late October when the ground is colder and root growth is less . possible. Native and other lilies are included in the list of bulbs to be planted at this time. Slow acting fertilizers, such as bone meal, are recommended. Manure is advised but care must be taken that it is well rotted and thorouhly mixed with the soil, so that the bulb does not come into contact with it. All areas where bulbs are plant- . ed must be well drained. The use of sand about the bulbs is valueless unless water can and will drain away. Allow nature to do the water-

ing. Bulbs to be forced for Christmas time should be potted at this time and placed in the basement or plunged in a cold frame for root making. Evergreens of any variety should be planted before cold weather to permit the plants to adapt themgelves to their new homes before ?

cold weather. Stake all vitae over six feet in height to prevent their swaying in the wind. Unstaked trees’ roots are severely damaged if not held in position. Water well during and after planting. Gladiolus corms (bulbs) ' should not be dug until the leaves turn yellow. Cure in shallow boxes before storing for the winter. Clean but do not wash off the dirt, treat with napthalene flakes, one ounce for each 100 corms, in paper bags, to overcome thrips. Store in a cold place, just above freezing and away from the rats and mice. Burn the leaves to destroy any possibility of thrips and disease wintering over. Amaryllis plants which have been out of doors for the summer should be dried off and allowed to rest in a dark place until new growth starts. The old gardener suggests that preparing the ground now for sweet pea seed ‘to be sown in early November will give you bigger and better blooms next year. Dig your soil at least 12 inches deep and work in rich compost or well-rotted manure.

WAYS OF PROTECTING

Among the numerous methods of property protection which: the Federal Housing Administration suggests are the following: Record suitable protective .covenants in which owners of surrounding properties have joined. Limit entrances and discourage main through traffic. Screen objectionable” Views and traffic. Plan lots to face on the tract rather than on uncontrolled land.

With Exception of Tulips EXPERT ADVISES

Real Estate Economist Sees ‘Purchase as Hedge - Against Inflation.

“There is no better hedge for the industrial worker and the small salaried employee ‘against the tremen=

home, particularly if he can pay 10 to 20 per cent down and get a longterm mortgage.” That's the opinion of ‘Roy Wenzlick, who as president of Real Estate Analysts, Inc., is the nation’s:foremost real” estate economist. Mr. 'Wenzlick spoke in the Columbia Club yesterday under the auspices a ve Indianapolis Real Estate ar

going bankrupt at a tremendous rate. We spent $987,000,000 for defense alone last month. And you haven’t seen anything yet. In some months of next year I'll not be surprised if defense spending would go above three billion dollars. Inflation is here and is going to be with us for a long period of years.”

Predicts Prices to Climb

Wages and commodity prices will continue to climb, he predicted, because “laborers and farmers are too powerful politically to let the President put a ceiling on ‘wages and farm prices. “The only way to control prices and wages is to freeze them, but this legislation will come too late.” The price level will reach at least|— twice the present level, Mr. Wenzlick said, and by the latter part of next year it will be difficult to buy almost anything.” we He also predicted that building material prices would continue to climb until 'a house won’t be worth what it cost to. build. Wholesale lumber prices during: the last war, he said, rose 319 per cent-and: the nation didn’t develop. the shortages like the ones we have now. When new building stops the démand for older properties will increase, then

cast. Rent Control Foreseen “Although rent control intensifies the problem by halting private building, we're going to get rent control whether we want it. or not,” he said. Indianapolis, he said, now is abbut at its peak of new home building. “An indication of what is happening,” he said, “is that for the first time in two years the number of homes built under the FHA last month fell below the total for the same month of last year. I expect in the future to sée that happening again and again. Plans already are drawn in Washington, he said, for a tremendous expansion of public housing to fill the transition between defense economy and normal economy.

INCREASE USE OF GLASS IN HOUSES

Americans favor “lighthouses.” Recent surveys of new houses in this country reveal that the amount of outside wall space “being. given over to windows and panels of glass blocks is onthe increase, as home owners ask for more and more daylight. The use of+*glass block panels in particular . has revised our dJigh

ments and other rooms. These economical building blocks may be: installed ir. either new ay old homes. In addition to increasing the amount of daylight within the .home, they provide a high degree of insulation against the loss of winter heat.

KITS USED IN MAKING BIRD HOUSES MODERN

Kits for making bird-houses now are as up-to-the-minute as laws requiring fire-resistant roofing for home-builders. Newest: outfits for building wren-houses include asphalt shingles for the .roof—the same attractively-colorful, fire-re-sistant, low-cost roofing which protects and beautifies thousands of real homes all over the United States.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES .

OPEN SUNDAY FOR VISITORS

Brockton Permanent Site; Designed by Ward, Built - By Bridges & Graves.

The first of the three model homes of the 1941 Indianapolis Home Show — “the Homemakers’ Home” — has been completed on its permanent site at 5805 Oxford ‘St. in Brockton and will be open daily beginning Sunday. It was designed by Charles D. Ward and built by Bridges & Graves Co. Those who saw it at the Home Show will find it little changed. It is a snug two-bedroom house of Indiana limestone, and frame painted light ivory. Shutters are deep maroon. Colonial Styling » Wall papers, fixtures, hardware and painting follows Colonial styling.

The front hallway paper is a Williamsburg pattern in a white Co-

lonial medallion and blue stripe.

In the hall is a guest closet and a doorway to another hall (finished in the same paper) which leads to the

‘bath, bedrooms and dining room. ‘An archway opens from the front

hall to the rectangular living room which has a huge triple picture window. Three walls of the living room are in ice blue paper. The fourth is finished in knotty pine painted white built around a brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves. Another archway opens into the dining room which has French doors opening onto a small cement porch. In this room the paper above the chair rail has an ice blue background with a silver stripe and white rose floral pattern. The dado is putiy-colored.

Bedroom Closets Ample

Both bedrooms have two windows and. ample closets. The front bedroom paper isa green satin Colonial stripe pattern while that of the East bedroom -is dusty rose with a lace diamond design. The bath has a built-in tub and shower, chrome fixtures, peach tile walls and floor. The kitchen is U-shaped with canary walls and a deep maroon lino-

Jeum cabinet top and splash. Walls

are. almost covered with built-in cabinets, painted white. There is.a breakfast corner with three windows in the passageway to the garage. The latter has plaster walls, a cement floor and an overhead door. In the basement are an: oil burning furnace, an automatic gas hot water heater, laundry tubs, and a {social room.

ADD A WEATHER VANE

A weather vane, with a gilded rooster or trotting horse riding the winds, will prove a useful ‘and goodlooking addition to most house roofs. Although it may be applied at any time, it is most easily done during re-roofing when provision for fastening it to the roof structure can be made, :

Times Special

| NEW YORK, Sept. 26—A seven-

point program for building’s part in the post-war world is presented by the Architectural Forum magazine’s September issue in the first article of a series being called “Building’s Post-War Pattern.” Aided by a panel of 200 advisory editors including architects, engineers, public officials, contractors, home developers, manufacturers, city planners, representatives of realty firms and financial institutions, and building material dealers, the article proposes “immediate and simultaneous action” by the building industry on these fronts: 1. NEW CONSTRUCTION—Lower material costs, more efficient techniques, lower labor costs but at: the same time greater employment and higher annual wages, and lower construction costs and rents. 2. TAXES—Taxation for municipal services rendered, based on income actually realized; reduction through increased efficiency of the public “plant.” 3. BUILDING INDUSTRY-—Inte-gration, house cleaning, bigger business. 4 ELIMINATION OF RESTRAINTS—Uniform building codes, cessation of racketeering and collusion. 5. PLANNING—Co-¢fdination of

planning activity of local, regional and national agencies; realistic rezoning in line with anticipated population trends; establishment of a national “Office of Planning Management”; expansion of existing planning facilities. 6. BLIGHT CURE—Control of decéntralization, urban reconstruction, expansion of public recreational facilities, provision for adequate parking areas, improvement and integration of transport facilities.

7. LAND—Increased public ownership, reclassification of use, defla-

trol of usage. “Post-war United States must work to a plan,” the magazine says. “A plan broad enough to include the nation, minute enough to cover all its political sub-divisions, bold enough to inspire respect and realistic enough to produce action. “Without a - remedial: post-war program, well planned and well executed, the nation may soon see the ravages of obsolescence grow to catastrophic proportions. By 1945 one-third of all the 40,000,000 dwelling units in the country will be more than 50 years old—well past the ac-

and ripe for wrecking. “By 1945, to put it another way, the 6,000,000 dwelling units which were in need of major repairs in 1935 will probably be unfit for use, and the 18,00,000 which then needed minor repairs will probably be ready for major reconstruction, if not demolition.
