room. And, for this reason, wood
that can be painted is preferred by
many home builders to hardwoods
that call for a stained and vanished
finish. Wood like pine, for instance,
which is most inexpensive and
adaptable, can be used throughout
a house. When given several coats
of paint in the colors required for a
room, it has all the charm and in
terest that could be desired, and at
the same time is guaranteed by the
protective qualities of the paint to
last indefinitely.
From the investment standpoint
alone, however, paint and varnish
are invaluable. They afford your
home the assurance of protection
that can be attained in no other way.
Thus far no equivalent have been
found that prevent wood from de-
caying and weathering, and metals
from rusting with the same surety
as paint and varnish.
Moisture, the root of all trouble
with lumber and metals, is the enc

cause the owner of the house has

OF course, the paint will not last
forever, and will need systematic re-

lection for the wood or metal, but
in the average climate the paint coat

BUILDING ECONOMY

1t is a we'll known fact that paint
and varnish are investments for the
home builder rather than extrava-
gance. And, too, that we'll founded
building economy is practically i'm
possible without the assistance of
these two materials. This does not
mean the type of economy based on
the substitution of a cheap product.
False economy is the classification
for such practise. For when, as
result, premature deterioration of
building begins, more than the
amount of money saved must be ex-
pended in repairs.
1t does mean, however, that where
expensive hardwoods are used, they
can be replaced by a good grade of
less expensive woods, using paint to
furnish good looks and durability.
In fact, present-day decoration de-
mands harmony in color schemes,

woodwork with the furnishings of a

Officers of the newly organized
washington Chauffeurs Union
started on their duties last night
with flat tires on the cabs, de-
spite the precaution Of a police
guard.
The new organization met in
Musicians Hall and completed the
split, begun some days ago, with
the Taxicab Drivers and Chauf-
feurs Local No. !. Alleged threats
of gun-play and other violence
were reported when the new
organization began its formation
last month and at the first meet
ing all persons suspected OF be-
ing rival drivers were stopped
and searched by police.
When the meeting was over last
night the newly elected officers
left the hall to find the tires Of
their cabs flat. Members Of the
police guard said that they had
seen taxi drivers tampering with
the valves and had heard the hiss
of air, but they thought the men
were members Of the new organi-
zation. The new officers, how
ever, said the men were spies"
Those elected by the new union
were Ben Harden, president: Jo-
Seph Carpenter, vice president;
Thomas Sullivan, Secretary-treaS
urer; Arthur Eagles, warden, and
George Guthrie, conductor.
Cab operators had additional
worries earlier in the day when

REAL ESTATE
. LEVY RAISE
UNLIKELY
Recommendation by District
Traffic Advisory Council
Not to Be Sent to Congress

The recent recommendation
by the District traffic advisory
council that the gasoline tax be
increased will not be passed on to
Congress by the District Commits
sioners, it has been learned on
reliable authority.
It had been proposed to In
crease the gasoline tax from 2 to
4 cents a gallon. The Commis.
sioners have refused to comment
upon this recommendation, or on
one that the real estate. tax be
increased from $1.70 to 81 80 per
500 assessed value.
Both Plans Opposed
It is practically certain, how
ever, they do not contemplate
making any such recommends
tions. Both proposals have net
active opposition from trade and
civic groups.
The suggestion for an increase
in the gasoline tax was made
with the idea of making up for
a possible reduction of District
revenues in case the BorlaI7d
Law, providing for assessments
for street paving, should be made
imperative under recent court de-
cisionS.
The Borland Law, which pro-
vides for an assessment Of so
much per front foot on property
facing on newly paved streets,
was declared unconstitutional BY
the Court of Appeals in certain
cases involving irregularly shaped
lots. The Supreme Court refused
to review the decision Of the low
er tribunal.
viii Seek Amendment
tt is expected the Commits.
| sioners will ask Congress to
Eamend, the Borland law so it
may be applied to all classes OF
property.
They have declared it is still
operative on all lots except those
similar to the ones in which the
courts held it discriminatory, and
collections will be attempted.

STUDENT RUINS
POLICE CAR

Policemen j. P. Norris and w.
w. Wznittemore, Second precinct,
were investigating a complaint
shortly after midnight last night
and parked their car in front of
a lunchroom at 1871 Fourteenth
st. N. w.
While on their official bust
ness, according to witnesses,
Francis P. Gum, Georgetown
University dental student, of 2818
Thirty-seventh st. N. W., pulled
out of a parking space and in
doing so bent the license plate
and smashed the rear light on
the police car.
Gum is said to have jumped
from the machine in which he
was riding, pulled up the hood
of the police car and wrecked
the ignition, following which he
broke the windshield wiper,
smashed a riot light and then
wrenched the license tag from
the rear Of the machine.
Whittemore remembered two
numerals on the tag of the car
in which Gum was riding, and
after a search of the records at
the precinct located the student.
When classes opened today Gum
was apprehended and frankly ad-
mitted trying to pull the official
car apart. The tag was found in
his machine; police say.
He was taken to the precinct
station where charges Of destroy
ing and defacing District prop
erty and stealing District prop
erty were lodged against him. He
will be arraigned in Police Court
tomorrow morning.
