.HOME-S|TE BUYING
URGED BY LEAGUE
Building Loan Body Advo.
Gates Purchase While Bar
gains "Are On"
The United States Building and Loan

The United States Building and Loan
League, in dispatch from Chicago
this week stressed the importance OF
potential home owners buying property
on which to build their houses while
real estate bargains "are still on"
After study of the price level fluc-
tuations In building materials. the
leagues officials declared the rapid up
ward leap of this index in the past two
months foreshadows the end of the
buyers market in homes which charac-
terized the past three years.
According to Morton Bodfish, execu-
tive manager Of the league, the man
who bought home the last week OF
pay about 5000 more right now to re-
family which bought a $4 900 home last
year when the price level was at its
lowest would have to pay at least $3.50
more for the same building under pres
ent building costs"
He cited the figures from the De-
partment Of Labor showing that build
ing materials are now 500 per cent of
their 1926 cost. as contrasted to the
69.6 per cent level at which they stood
this time last year. AS a result of in
flationary tendencies the level of build
ing costs has already passed the 1881
index, which was around TAB per cent,
he added Since the cost of reproduction
enters largely into the price which
must be paid for home, it is evident
that home bought today will cost con-
siderably more a few months hence, If
this uptrend in building materials con-
tinues.
THE cases Of families who bought
homes at the bottom level of building
costs cited above show the increase in
cost which would result today from the
increased price of materials alone Mr.
Bodfish continued. Materials consti-
tute about 63 per cent of the total cost
of home building. Wherever labor
costs have begun to rise above their
1882 and early 1888 levels the cost of
replacing the property would be pro-
portionately more today"

Wall Paper Stains.

@. Can wall paper which has been
must it be replaced? ]. e. c.
A. Bureau Of Standards experiments
thus far have failed to develop a sat-
isfactory remover of water stains from
wall paper. There is wall paper clean
er on the market, a doughy material
which removes dirt and ordinary soiled
places, and if the stain is not too Sc
we're, it may be of some help. Moth
ing however, has been developed which
will remove stains from wall paper with
out disfiguring and discoloring it COM
pletely. The best plan is to repaper
the damaged section, and clean up the
rest of the walls with the cleanirg
material mentioned above.

Repairing Stucco.


@. What is the best way to repair
stucco house that is leaking?-
R. E. H.
A. Cracks in stucco should be i'm
mediately repaired if they admit mois-
ture pointing with the same brand OF
cement, mixed to the same proportions,
as in the original work. If the pre-
vious mixture cannot be determined
it is usually safe to use combination
of i part cement, 3 parts sand and
one-tenth part finely divided materials,
such as hydrated lime, measured by
volume. Before pointing, clean out the
cracks thoroughly, chipping them to
the shape of "V' so that the mortar
may be keyed securely to the old work.
All dust and loose particles should be
brushed out, and the cleaned surface
and adjoining stucco dampened be-
fore the new mortar is applied. The
new work should be kept wet for sew
eral days after it has hardened to in
crease the strength of the cement,
hanging tarpaulin or some similar
protection, if necessary, to keep it from
being exposed to the sun or drying
winds Painting the entire surface

ing a mahogany chair, found the
finished surface was rough, containing
little specks, although there was no
dust or dirt in the air at the time the
Job was done What is the cause OF
this?-Mrs. NJ. A. T.
A. Varnish itself sometimes contains
small grains, and when applied may
create a "seedy" or ''specky" surface
Chill in transit or in storage. or de-
cided difference in temperature be-
tween the varnish and the work. may
cause this. Always allow the varnish
to reach the temperature of the work
before applying. Don't varnish in the

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-One of this
departments chief boasts is its I'M
tagging patriotism. Ours IS the
first flag to go up on Arbor day;
ours the loudest firecrackers on st.
SWithen6, and ours the first hat OIL
when the wind starts blowing.
Yet, despite this tremendous love
of country and devotion to its in
terests, we find ourselves hoping
that America will not make a clean
sweep of the three Wightman cup
tennis matches with England today.
Before you condemn us to the fir
ing squad, please let us explain.
One of today's matches calls for
Helen Jacobs to play Dorothy
Round. If Helen beats Dorothy it's
going to cost the United State;

Rounds battle with Mrs. Heller

You see, Miss Rounds feat OF
taking a set from the great MOODY
in the final at Wimbledon last
month resulted in her being spot
ted as the girl finally to end the
Californians complete and abso-
Lutte domination of the sport. Natur-
ally. the match would lose much OF
it's box office appeal if Miss Round
were beaten by Miss Jacobs, per-
former whom Mrs. Moody can beat
every day in. the week and twice
on Sunday.
Makes His Guess
Our guess, CT rather the guess
Mercer Beasley made for us, is
that Miss Round will be lucky to
win six games in her match win
the great one. Mr.. Beasley, who was
on the sidelines for the Wimbledon
match, admits Mrs. Moody won BY
the narrowest margin that day, bu'
rates it as just one OF those things
Mrs. Moody was not herself, anc
Miss Round played a good tWt
stories above her head Mr.. Beas-
lev said. 1.-THE English girl hasn'i
! half the stroke equipment Of the
champion, and needs quite a few
more lessons in strategy. On court
she knows by heart, and surround
ed by a friendly gallery, Mrs. Moody
should take Miss Round handily
You must remember, however, that
1 predicted clean sweep for the
American Davis cup team in the
interzone final"
Mrs. Moody could afford to drop
a match, at that. In the nine years
she has competed with the Ameri-
can team, she has lost but two sim
giles matches, both of which came In
