Aid for Handicapped

Employment Of the five
million physically handicapped
men and women who cannot
comply witt the general pro-
visions of the NRA codes is a
new project engaging the ef-
forts of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. it was
announced today at headquar-
ters, 1884 N st. N. w.
Working through the general
federation's department of pub
lie welfare are the heads Of
national service organizations
who form an advisory commit
tee on adult handicapped.
This committee is calling on
the more than two million
women of the general fedora
ton to help those most in need
of assistance, and is making
a careful study of the provi-
sions being developed by the
sheltered workshop committee
of the NRA.
A special effort toward crime
prevention and control also is
being made by the department.
of public welfare this. autumn
and winter. An attempt to en-
list the cooperation Of national
organizations with affiliated
State groups, with a view to a
concerted citizens drive, IS
being made. The drive will get
into swing Immediately after
the crime conference called by
Attorney General Homer j.
Cummings for December.
An educational campaign is
under way in the States under
the direction of the special COM
mittee appointed last May to
cooperate with the Department
of Justice in the Emergency

tries engaged in the manufacture
of materials adaptable to pretab'
rication.
A large copper and brass firm
sponsored the construction Of a
prefabricated house Of copper
and brass and copper-bearing
sheet metal in the District. That
house is we'll on the way to CON-
pletion. In costs of both mate.
rial and labor the house Will
furnish a surprise to the Specu-
lative building trade.
Now the Anaconda Copper
Company is reported to start
prefabricated house in nearby
Virginia to meet the advances Of
its competitor.
Prefabricated homes Of con-
crete is the next big thing and
it is exciting considerable curl
osity.
Up in the 21o0 block Of G st.,
where John Early has his studio
in which he makes mosaics and
concrete fabrications, the idea
for a concrete house, pretabri-
Gated, was born. Mr.. Early, with
q lifetime of experience in work
ing with concrete, was sold on
his own idea so he started out
to build his own home along
these lines.
Prefabrication of concrete has
many advantages, its proponents
claim. The fabrication is done on
the inside, so the structural work
is not seasonal and can be per-
formed in any climate.
It has the durability Of granite
and modern methods have made
it impervious to damp and mois-
ture. The prefabrication process
is susceptible Of the highest archi-
tectural treatment.
Mr.. Early, by the way, is the
gentleman who fabricated the
handsome mosaics in the new De-
partment of Justice building-the
only domestic moSaicS in any Gov
ernment building in the country.
And another well-knoWn manu-
facturer of aluminium foil insula-
ton has developed a metal Substi-
tute for wooden timberS-termite
and rot-proof. OF medium gauge
galvanized iron, the shaped tub
ing is filled with a matrix which
can be cut with q saw, but which
is as strong as concrete. Joists,
sills, rafters and studding sizes
and shapes are supplied and no
equipment other than the ordi-
nary carpenter carries is required
to form the stuff into permanent
and efficient framing.

coarse yarn cloths market started the
new week on a quiet note today. as the
volume Of trading continued restricted

undertone was apparent in the market,
with most traders Of the opinion that

Credit for obtaining passage
of the uniform narcotics law is
given by the Federal Narcotics
Bureau to the State Federations
of South Carolina, Virginia, and
Kentucky. Other States which
now have this model narcotics
legislation, largely through the
efforts of clubwomen, are New
York, New Jersey, Indiana, and
Florida. The federation's aim
is to end this Administration
with narcotics legislation in
every State where there is a
legislative session in 1885.
Final passage of the Child
Labor Amendment is the par
ticular interest of the Division
of Child Welfare. The Public
Health Division is working to-
ward cancer control and estab.

program also aims to strengthen
the ties between State Fedora

Fire Fighting by Plane
With Chemicals Likely

Syracuse. e.--Chemical compounds
may be used in the future for ex-
tlnguishlng forest fires. The oppor-
tunlty for the employment Of chem
icals in this field may become much
broader than has ever been posi-
Bile in combating other types OF
fires. says the New York State Col
lege OF Forestry. The use OF dust
chemical combinations from the air
eventually may be developed which
would probably be impracticable In
connection with building conhagra-
tions In city or country unless the
fire covered an extensive area.
II is known that efficient dust
mixtures have been developed which
can be applied from an airplane and
that these dust combinations can be
produced in commercial quantities
at fairly reasonable prices. More
