Bulbs to Be Invisible.

The old order of lighting fixtures is
changing. Unconsciously home owners
have clung to the old gas-bracket type
of ornamentation. The house Of to-
morrow will have lights so placed that
the bulbs will be entirely invisible, and
types of lighting will be as important
in decorating a room as furniture is
now.

CEDAR FOR CLOSETS

Any closet in the house can be made
into a cedar closet with the simple
addition Of sheathing and the closing
of cracks.
For the best results the cedar
sheathing should be at least "a inch
thick. This applies to the cedar used
for lining. shelves, floor. ceiling and
door. A frequent shortooming of
cedar closets is the use Of sheathing
which is too thin. Finally. all crevices
must be closed. and doors tightly
weather stripped.
Cedar closets are available for f.
nancing by undermining loans ap-
proved by the Federal Housing Ad-
miniStration.

REALTY MEN HERE
HEARPOTTERPLEA
National President Urges
Support of Mortgage In
surance Proposal.

Capital real estate men were
strongly urged to support the Fed
eral Housing Administration in car
rying out the mortgage insurance
phase of its program, which is aimed
to bring about a home-building re-
vival by making available mortgage
money. by Hugh Potter, Houston,
Tex, president of the National Asso-
ciation of Real Estate Boards, in an
address before the Washington board
Thursday.
Potter, speaking before the boards
luncheon meeting at the Racquet
Club, asked the realtors to subordinate
whatever dislikes they may have for
a particular phase of the housing act
and to get behind the program whole
heartedly. He said the program, If
carried out, offers depression relief
for the real estate business.
The national executive Of the asso-
citation pointed out that the housing
act is one Of the few measures passed
to hasten recovery which does not
mean competition of Government
funds in private business. Title II,
rules for the administration Of which
were announced three weeks ago, he
reminded, is not an emergency meas
ure, but is the foundation OF a long
term program designed to interest in
vested capital in real estate and to
bring about reforms in the financing
of homes.
Potter urged that real estate men
lend their assistance in making of
Washington a model for success of
the housing program.
Eugene Meyer, publisher OF the
Washington Post and former chair
man Of the Federal Reserve Board,
was guest speaker at the luncheon. He
urged bankers to loosen up on credit
for home building and declared that
Washington real estate occupies a
most favorable spot in the country at
the present.

Re-registration or renewal Of

In the transition from county

the only way to secure an au-

local unemployment office, said
renewals may be made by letter,
phone Or personal call, and that
telephone No. 134-J may be used

fact that cards must be renewed

WORKING HOUR
CUT MOVEMENT.
Wins hackers
Congressman Signing For
Bill Which Seems Due
For Passage
WOULD RAISE RAIL
/ COSTS BY MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, May IL (UP)
-Congressional enthusiasm for
compulsory shortening of work
ing hours was on the upswing
last night.
A petition was completed to
force a house vote May % on a
bill establishing a six hour day
for the men who operate Ameri-
cas- railroads.
Despite administration opposi-
ton, 145 congressman signed up
for the measure. 1t is estimat-
ed it would require rcemploy-
ment of 100000 railway workers
at a cost of $300,000,000 or
more to the carriers.
Success of the petition indi-
Icated a vote likewise can be
forced on the Connery bill to
establish 30-hour week through
all industry.
A petition on this measure al
ready has been filed. Only seven
or eight house members have
signed so far, because the bills
author Rep. William Connery,
Jr., D., Mass, has passed the
word to hold off pending results
of conferences with administra-
Hor leaders. He is trying: to
obtain presidential assent to the
measure through slight modifi-
cations.
If the administration fails to
sanction the bill Connerv says
he will give the word to go
ahead with the petition. Observ-
ers believed he could obtain the
necessary signatures in a very
few days.
Organized labor is backing
Connery to the limit on compul-
sorry shortening of hours. 1t
claims the administrations eff
forts for voluntary spreading en-
ployment have failed and drastic
action is imperative to aid the
100000 still without Jobs.
Organized manufacturers struck
a new block last night at the
Wagner bill to create a perman-
ent national labor board.

difficulties SHOULD be executive

REINFORCEMENT ACCORDS TO
REPLACE MANY NRA CODES
Definite Abandonment Is
Decided For Small In
dustrial Plants
BY JULIUS FRANDSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May IL. (UP)
The administration has decided to
abandon NRA codes for hundreds
of thousands of small industrial
plants and service establishments.
This decision, confirmed in AL.
thoritative quarters last night,
marks the first major retreat Of
the blue eagle. The eagle bit on
more than it could chew in at
tempting to regulate prices, trade
practices and a host of details IF
operation of myriad small busi-
nesses.
Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. johnson said he was working
on arrangements to substitute
simple agreements for codes COW
ering small industries. These
agreements merely will cover
wages, hours and the collective
bargaining guarantees of the Re-
covery Act.
The agreements may be identi-
cal with the presidential re-en-
ployment compact that employers
signed last summer pending adop-
ton of codes. Those who are re-
lieved from codes will be permit
ted to continue to display the blue
eagle if they sign such agree
ments.
The relaxation probably will
apply to nearly all establishments
except retail stores.
johnson declined to comment
specifically on future plans for
handling such service trades as
dry cleaning, laundries, beauty
parlors and barber shops. 1t is
believed however that codes also
will be dropped for them and
similar agreements on wages and
hours substituted.
Price fixing and other disputed
sections of these codes have
caused such dispute and litigation
that johnson said NRA was
spending IS per cent of its time
and effort on Is per cent of in
dustry. The feeling is that NRA
wants to ditch these codes and
devote its efforts to the major in
dustries employing millions OF
persons.
johnson assumed full response
bility for delay in publication of
the report of the MIRA review
board headed by Clarence OAR
row. The report was laid before
the White House more than
week ago. 1t is understood to
condemn many phases of NRA,
especially with respect to small
business. :,
johnson said the report would
be disclosed next week.

said. "The president accorded me

THERE is no way TO measure

For children they have cherished,
Oh, more than any gold.
Each seeks a tender message
Whose loveliness will say
That she is not forgotten
When it is Mothers Day.
DRIEF flower blooms TO tell her
ID That you remember, too,
The thousand little favors
Which she has done for you.
The birthday cakes with candles,
The dogs she let you keep,
The lullabyes she chanted
Until you fell asleep.
WORDS freighted with deep

OF love you have for her
May break with that emotion
Which childhood memories stir.
And that may be why flowers,
On her own special day
Best bring the haunting fragrance
Of what you'd like to say!
