By the AiAltects Small Boose Service Bureau of the IV S, Inc. The Red Real plan of electric wiring Is one of service. It has nothing to cell. Even Its advice is free. It is a program devised by the electrical associations to help home builders to get their houses adequately wired for sen-icnnd illumination. Liice ot&er mechanical Installations about the house and, as far as that It concerned, like the methods of construction slap-dasthoughtless, and faulty electrleal installations must yield before expert opinion. Too long people have left their electrical Installations to mere guesswork, with all its attendant inconveniences and inadequacies. Now we have this great national organization, designed for service and nothing more, to advise home builders. The Red Seal Installation may be built from any approved materials for the transmission or conduction of electrical energy. By approved materials we mean those that conform to the requirements of the national electrical code, or to any local code or ordinance that has requirements in excess of the national code. This means that a red seal installation may be wiring In rigid conduit or in armored cable, or, if the local code permits, by the knob and tube scheme commonly called open wiring. It does not restrict the home builder to the product of any partic- REAL ESTATE JJuL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT J WORK BEGINS Home Has Sound Architectural Values rooms with fine tcall spaces. The ar-- . rangement is such that construction is simplified and costs held to the minimum. Without pretense, the de$ign of this house is the type that trill appeal to conservative builders. The plan provides large, brtlliantty4ighted Red Seal Program Economical For All Home Builders. The Red Seal program Is not designed to encourage home builders to add useless or overabundant electrical outlets. On the contrary, it provides only for the minimum requirements of adequate wiring. These requirements may be considered as a reasonable standard of adequacy and are based on a study of the facilities which should be available in every home today. The ideal way for you to secure a good wiring arrangement in your home is for you to secure a set of blue of the rough sketches of your prints house from your architect, and submit them to the local electrical league for a Red Seal layout If the plan suggested meets with the approval of your architect, he may easily Incorporate it in the final working drawings. If you do not have the services of an architect or are using plans of the Architects' Small House Service bureau, your local electrical league eaa designate the Red Seal layout on a set of your- plans in colored penefl. lgitet Contract Call For Inspection of House. Ia the event that the layout Is adopted and a contract signed for this work, the next step for the electrical league in your locality is the Inspection of the work as it progresses. The field representative will visit the building, seeing that the outlets go In as planned and that the work is done according to the electrical code of the city having jurisdiction. After the work is completed the Red Seal symbol is placed on ed - the cutout cM.et and a certificate issued to the building. This certificate is notice to the world that the building so marked has a complete electrical system and bears the stamp of approval of the Industry backing it. Also this symbol will be a great aid in a resale of the property or in renting the building or apartment Red Seal applies only to the dwell lng portion of any house or 1929, the Archi- VVlnburn Students Finish Ipecl&l urn-- .; ; i v:ja - ."'"-'Y- T.-1- .I Planned for Good Space at Reasonable Cost. rnHIS L 1 I3"rl IWJ .KITCHIM I I DINI NO t.oo rrr' .i J I in th kind of house homo builders come to afUr they have II J tests, started at the Instance of the National Lumber Manufacturers' association, has been conducted to determine what "clothing" is best for the home.

The Portland, Ore., Realty board has reported at the headquarters of the National Association of Real Estate Boards that It ha completed a city survey as the best means of obtaining an accurate view of the condition of the local real estate market The Portland survey Is a comprehensive one, giving the number of used houses, the total number in each section of the city, the number for sale, the number for rent and the percentage of vacancy. The survey likewise tabulates new houses not houses under heretofore occupied, construction and, in the cases of the whether latter, they are for sale. Apartments, stores and offices are also covered in the survey. Plans for two new school buildings in the Nebo district are being drawn by Ashton & Evans, architects of Salt Lake. There will be a total ex penditure of $40,000. Included in the program is a four- room grade school building at Elber-t- a and an addition to the Bprtngville high school, which will contain automobile and woodworking shops, tool rooms, locker rooms and instructors' Offices.

As an inner coating for buildings, tests have shown that the most practical paper is one which keeps out moisture, allows little wind leakage, strong but, most important, is enough to be laid in full sections to line walls.- - As an outer wear, the most important factor is resistance to water penetration and, in the case of floor coverings, there must be very good protective properties so that finishes will not be marred. It has been established that there is little advantage in using a rela tively thick sheathing paper if all the other desirable properties of a thinner paper are satisfactory, since in any case the paper is too thin te contribute materially to tne resistance to heat flow bv conduction.
