sources.
Virtually all these companies will
carry on extensive advertising cam
paigns. These will start in the trade
papers, architect and building material
magazines, and then go into news
papers and magazines reaching mass
circulation. Some Of these companies
already have contracted for national
advertising space.
Employ Local Builders.
In assembling pre-fabricated houses.
experts from the home building COM
pany will employ local labor. Thus
the project will furnish jobs to miners,
quarrymen, foresters and fabricators,
such as steel, cement and glass en-
ployes. and workers in transport agen-
cies, motor and rail, in addition to
the men who actually erect the house.
The houses will be equipped with
the latest in refrigeration. radios, heat
ing and plumbing. They will not look
standardized, because, aside from GER
tain parts, they can be varied to meet
the needs of the individual family.
Special gadgets may be put here and
there about the house. just as extras
are added to an automobile.
The designs and styles OF the
houses are not confined to few types.
One firm, utilizing standard units. has
140 typical house plans. which with
their various details have been ex-
psnded into 240 different houses. De-
signs are not standardized, but certain
units are, and since the latter can
be produced on a mass scale, costs to
the home owner are greatly reduced.

PAINT ON TIN ROOFS
NEEDS QUICK REPAIR

Failure to repaint a tin roof al
the first signs of peeling or other de-
terioration causes rapid rusting, con-
sequent leaks and may entail INSTALL
ing a new roof.
When defects appear, the entire
roof should be prepared for repaint-
ing by cleaning the surface of loose
and scaling paint with steel wool,
sandpaper. or wire brush, then
wiping it thoroughly with benzine
or turpentine. The paint should be
applied on the cleaned surface In
thin coats and allowed to dry at
least a week between each coat.
Three or more coats are recon-
mended.
A new metal roof should always
be allowed to weather for two or
three months before painting in or
der to free the surface acids in the
metal which otherwise will attack
and loosen the paint.

NEW YORK, November "a home
for $4,000. with nominal down pay
ment, perhaps as little as $50. is one
answer to the shelter problem in the
United States.
This home. air conditioned, refrig-
Grated and otherwise up to the minute,
will be built by the same mass-produc-
ton method as those used by the
automotive industry. 1t will be SINH
larly financed and assembled.
Within a month at least one firm.
perhaps several, will be financing and
producing such houses in volume for
national distribution.
These houses will be made of cement,
glass and steel. With their standard
lied parts made in factories, the
houses can be assembled within two
weeks. They can be taken down and
moved to a new location within a week.
Homes Prove Air-tight.
Such homes have been tested and
proved air-tight. vermin- proof and able
to withstand 100 0-mile-an-hour hurri-
canes. They are cool in Summer and
warm in Winter. Some of them have
been made sound-proof
The building and construction in
duStries make it plain that installment
purchases Of these homes will be pri-
Vateiy financed, though the plans meet
with the hearty approval of the Ma
tional Housing Administration and it's
aim to relieve the depression through
stimulation Of the heavy industries.
These pre-fabricated homes depart
from many current and traditional
building practices. Most of their spon-
sors offer complete service to the
home buyer. The home building firms
assume complete responsibility from
the day the owner selects or suggests a
plan until the day he actually moves
In. This eliminates divided RESPONSE
bility among several contractors.
Use Various Systems.
The modern home-building firms will
operate on various plans. Some of
them connected with raw-material
companies, such as cement or steel
corporations. will emphasize their own
products IN constructing houses others
will vary equipment to meet local
needs. Thus a house assembled in
region where natural gas is cheap
would be equipped with gas rather
than electrical refrigeration.
These marketers of homes will also
have differing relations with the sup
pliers of raw materials. Virtually all
Of them will cooperate with raw
materials firms in the matter Of re-
search. Some will even exchange per-
sonnel. become financially interested
in their raw material suppliers, and
utilize esta ablished distribution chan
nels Others will be absolutely inde-
pendent in their relationships with
firms from which they purchase raw
materials.
None Of these concerns has def
nitely settled on marketing methods.

As his views on public questions to statement, it is more and more evident that the Senator is medi- tating a.. crazy quilt for platform. Critics and opponents of the New Deal who look to this really able and influential Republican to lay down line of demarcation between Roosevelt policies and what they regard as sounder economics will be the more disappointed by his latest speech in Idaho. True
 he opposes checks on production (especially Idaho beet-sugar) and would build high tariff wall for the home-gro staple, letting what will happen in Cuba and the Philippines But in the same breath he is trust buster, foe to trade agree ments an advocate of Government central bank lof issue, and a champion of gold and silver as joint currency bases. 5t, f- Hi't A New Dealer must part company with MT.

A Progressive Republican can cheer him in Wisconsin, where he endorses Senator La Toilette but must shake his head over the advocacy of Senator Vandenberg in Michigan and Senator Reed in Pennsylvania But this is all con- ssten-for Mr. Borah-a fitting part of the political picture he has always presented He is rather against things than for them.

GETTING WARMER.

Commenting the statement of the United States delegation at the London preliminary naval conversations warning the Japanese that if Japan scrapped the Washington treaty of 1922 this country may be forced to fortify possessions the Pacific Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, declared recently that it was the duty of the United States Government to provide adequate defenses for the Territory Of Alaska regardless of any action taken in the con- versations. a
 The Delegate has many supporters in his opinion that the Territory should have ample defenses throughout its far flung domain Those seeing eye to eye with him the matter include far-sighted, thinking members of Congress and men in other Federal departments well many Army and Navy officials who strongly advocating defense bases for both services in Alaska
 In today's news it is reported that Congressman J. Mark Wilcox of Florida recommended to Presi- dent Roosevelt's Aviation Commission the expendi- ture of more than two hundred million dollars for the construction of network of air defense bases to protect the United States and nsular possessions and in this specified that an aerial defense base should be built in Alaska.
 Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr, in addressing a Foreign Trade Convention stated that in order for the United States to maintain equality in the mar kets of the Orient adequs:e fleet must be based in the area of possible conflict.
 These timely statements added to the many relative to the growing importance of defense in the Pacific Ocean that have been made recently all point toward the obtaining of proper defense of Alaska
 Delegate Dirlond is personally thoroughly con vinced of the importance of defense for the Terri tory and its people The growing consciousness O this need among many others in important govern mental departments greatly aids the Delegate in hi program to bring defenses to Alaska. The people communities and cities of Alaska should consistently aid the Delegate with suggestions and information that will help him expedite the construction o defense bases in various parts of the Territory
