CLEVELAND, Nov. 27.-Intensive
activity has been going on for the
last two weeks in the once quiet
real estate offices throughout the
country, as 1000 home builders and
land developers prepare for meet
ing to be held in Washington Dec
and 5. The meeting has been
called by the Home Builders and
Land Developers National Commit
tee which is seeking billion-dollar
loan from the Public Works Ad-
ministration and other federal agen-
cies that still have unspent funds
The committee headquarters are
here.
Delegations have been formed in
some twenty cities from which real
tors will journey in a body; local
real estate boards having a large
percentage of home builders as
members will send official delegates,
and building material interests,
eager to cooperate in this move
ment that may mean placing of
enormous orders, are making pre-
parations to be in Washington.
Cooperation in East
In New York, A. G. Edgar, dis
trict chairman for the committee
in this area, will go on the air next
week for the purpose of reaching
all home builders in New York, Long
Island, Westminster and Connecticut
in a last appeal to drop everything
and get to Washington. A large
delegation already has been formed
from this section including Boston
and other Massachusetts cities.
In New Jersey. influential Sena-
tor w. Warren Barbour, has Joined
the supporters of this program and
has promised his aid to Harry J.
Stevens, president of the Real Es-
tate Board of Newark, who is or
ganizing a large delegation from
this city to attend the meeting.
Women, also are being brought
into this campaign because of the
assertion of the committee that the
housing board of the Public Works
Administration is prejudiced against
single family homes in favor of mass
housing. Women from Cleveland,
Chicago. Boston. New York, and
other cities have written to Mrs.
Grace Poole, president of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Organ
izations at Washington, to ask her
to speak at the Dec. meeting for
American women ION behalf of the
economic and social advantages of
the single family, owned home"

APPEARANCE IMPROVED
Old Plumbing Fixtures Can Be
Painted.

Painting the outer surfaces of old
plumbing fixtures, sinks, tubs and
the like serves to freshen their ap-
pearance considerably. Two coats
OF white enamel make a good finish
for sink or basin, and aluminium
or bronze paint may be used for the
faucets.

CLEANING is NECESSARY
Metal Should Be Scraped Before
Applying Paint.

Metal garden and porch furni-
ture should be thoroughly cleaned

CUT RED TAPE,'
SAYS INDIANA
STONE co. HEAD
Building Contracts Are Up
Slightly, but Speed
Is Needed.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO. Nov. 27.-RevivaI Of
building construction on any broad
scale clearly awaits more speedy
action in Washington. comments a
nationwide survey of building ac-
tivity by the Indiana Limestone
Corporation
If there could be straight
slashing- Through of red tape" and
other distractions so that work
could be launched on public build
ings already approved. it would
mean employment for numberless
thousands otherwise idle this win
ter, says the survey.
Unless action is expedited little
hope is seen of increased employ
ment in the building construction
industries this winter.
October Contracts Up
America has spent only about
S820,000,000 for new building con-
struction in ten months of 1888, it
is declared, IS compared with
s6,247 ,626, 1884 for the same period in
1928. For the first time since early
in 1880, however, last months con-
tracts awarded exceeded those of
the same period in the panic year
1882, the survey points out.
President A. E. Dickinson ex-
pressed the belief that "as soon as
the building construction industry
sees the government program get
into full swing. some degree of con-
f1dence will be restored and other
new private projects will be stimu-
lated"
Residential building, which has
show signs of revival in the last
few months, is expected to move
into definite action by spring, the
survey states. Another hopeful sign
mentioned for the industry is the
recent gain in new industrial build
ing construction, which has shown
an improvement over the compare
tive period in 1882.
Chicago Sees Gain
"Chicago's building permits last
month exceeded in cost permits for
the same month last year by more
than 100 per cent" says the survey.
Residential building accounted for
most of this activity.
In New York's Manhattan CONF
siderable alteration work is being
done. Other types of building are
showing some gains. On the Pacific
coast, contract awards have more
than doubled those of last year. Los
Angeles continues to lead in new
building activity. with San Francisco
taking second place.
New England contracts awarded
last month were considerably above
the average of recent weeks. The
northwest section continues at
slow pace, although there are some
signs of private building construc-
ton activity on a small scale. The
south, with Atlanta and Dallas as
the pivotal points, activity continues
brisk with the number of building
contracts increased"

ENAMEL HELPS FLOOR
Recommended for Soft Wood; Var
niSh for Hard.

If the floor of a room is of soft
wood, a smooth enamel finish will
lend color and charm. If, however,
it is of beautifully grained hard
wood there is an opportunity to
enhance its beauty by giving it a
new coat of varnish and waxing it
frequently. Any excess wax or oil
should be removed from the floor
before the new coating of varnish
is applied

JAILING OF TAXI FARE
EvADER HELD INVALID
Judge Mcmahon Claims Law Un-
Observation-Disclosures
Man Freed.

Citing the constitutional provision
that man cannot be imprisoned fol-
debt, Judge John p. Mcmahon today
ruled that a District regulation under
which man could be punished for
failure, refusal or attempt to avoid pay
ment Of taxicab was invalid.
Jesse Burroughs of Falls Church, Va,
was brought into Trafac Court on the
charge Of w. j. Rice that he had re-
fused to pay Rice. hacker, after i1av-
ing been carried in the latter;s cab
part way across the city.
The regulation fixing the punishment
for non-payment Of cab fares as a $500
fine or term in prison was put into
effect September IL.
Judge Mcmahon offered to quash the
case so that Special Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel William A. Roberts could
bring an appeal before the District
Supreme Court.
Roberts, however, nolle pressed the
case with several others Of q similar
nature.

yestment channels to the industry Of
the country.
The securities act Is here to stay.
But provisions Of the act that are
clearly burdensome and unreasonable
should be modified, thus, among other
advantages, removing one Of the OBJ
stacles to an enterprising lending pol-
icy on the part Of the banks.
Another influence leading the banks
to maintain themselves In a condition
Of extreme liquidity is uncertainty
about the currency. If any consider
able distrust Of the currency develops,
many depositors will withdraw funds
from their banks and also seek to bor-
row on insurance policies In order to
puy tangible property or equities, to
say nothing of Withdrawals in order
to find safety in foreign countries.
Even one takes the view that there
Is slight danger Of extreme imitation
with resultant distrust Of the currency
the mere possibility Of it is a factor
wnlch many bankers take into account
In the determination of their lending
and investment policies. This Is af3
lnnuence on actual banking practice
which cannot be measured exactly. b,t
1t is certainly one which NAV easily
assume large importance.
An influence that tends to weaken
the spirit Of enterprise of banks in THE
extension Of loans Is certainly one of
which account must be taken in reach

OF the monetary policies of the pres-
ent administration. These policies ]

the same as for distilled spirits.
Sparkling wines not containing more
than "A per cent alcohol would nay 80
cents q gallon, while those over "a
per cent would be assessed $3.50 q
gallon.
The proposed rate Of 80 cents q gal
lon on natural sparkling wines Is the
same as in effect before prohibition.
Artificial sparkling wines. containing
not over "a per cent alcohol, would
bear 40 cents gallon tax.
The committee recommended that
an additional 16 cents per, gallon tax
spirits over and above the $3.50 gallon
levy, bringing it to a total of $2.76.
The present law provides an additional
30 cents a gallon tax on rectified and
blended liquors.
Another recommendation was for q
Federal floor stock tax on all tax paid
alcoholic beverages held for sale on the
date on which the new tax rates go into
effect.
The tax would be equal to the differ
ence between the present $1.10 a gallon
levy and the adopted rates Of tax when
ever the new rates were higher.
The recommendation for sharing
Federal receipts from liquor taxes with
those States which refrain from adding
additional levies other than general
personal property taxes. suggested the
following basis:
First, that 20 per cent Of the total
Federal receipts from Internal Revenue
taxation Of alcoholic beverages be set
aside for return to States.
Second, each State to be entitled to
that portion Of revenue so set aside,
which its production plus consumption
Of alcoholic beverages bears to the total
domestic production. plus consumption
Of alcoholic beverages.
Third, any State not accepting the
plan. its part Of the 20 per cent allot-
ment would return to the Federal
Treasury.

liquor were current, the distillers dis
played little concern.
". James M. Doran, head of the
newly created Distilled Spirits Institute
declared Government Intervention to
bring lower prices would be unneces-
sary.
Inere Is no one group as anxious to
see the business get under wav on a
fair basis as the distillers themselves "
Doran said.
This confusion over prices isn't
strange. We knew that these local diff
nculties would be inevitable. There, of
course, is chaotic condition, with t..e
olstlIlers not knowing to whom they
can ship or where they can sell.
The strange thing is that whisky is
as available as 1t is under these con-
o1tlons, but within week these things
are gong to be largely historical"
Padlocks Smashed.
Word from Western PENNSYLVANIA
tnat several padlocks had been knocked
from the doors Of establishments
closed under the prohibition law
brought from the Justice Department
an unofficial explanation that these
matters we're entirely up to the Fed
eral courts.
The act itself provides authority for
modification Of paddock orders reposes
in the court. The only requirement
Is that the required bond be posted
and that the court be satisfied that
the law will not be violated in the
future"
Since the law referred to now Is ex-
tinct, this second requirement is easy
to meet, officials said.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Am
bassador, conferred at length with
Secretary Wallace, but declined to dis
cuss the topic. No announcement was
made at the Secretary's office either.
The principal question in American
and English relations which affects the
Department of Agriculture at the pres
ent time is the negotiations over pos
sible expansion of England's liquor
quota to the United States in return
for an increase of her meat purchases
from the United States.
In its tax recommendations, the
Presidents committee also suggested
that all beers be taxed $5 a barrel, the
same as the present 80 brew. The
present tax on beers Of alcoholic con-
tent in excess of 80 is Sc a barrel.
The committee recommended a tax
OF l6 cents per gallon on still wines
OF less than IA per cent alcoholic con-
tent compared to the present 4 cents.
Wines of from IA to "a per cent al
cohoi would bear tax Of 40 cents per
