S75,OOO,OOO SPENT
IN BETTER HOUSING
Renovating and Repair Costs
Shown by Ward Canaday;
Home Shortage Cited.

More than s75.O0O,0o0 worth OF
renovation and repair work already
is proceeding under the Government S
better housing program since it was
launched approximately so days ago,
Ward N Canaday, director of public
relations of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. declared at the conven-
ton of the American Gas Association
in Atlantic City.
The shortage of homes in America.
based on the average construction of
normal years is now l,750,000 houses.
Mr.. Canaday said. If We were to
begin tomorrow rebuilding at normal
rate he explained. lit would take five
years to replace this shortage alone.
and then We still would be five years
behind current requirements"
Before leaving Washington, Mr..
Canaday said. one manufacturer had
reported to him that sales within the
past two months were two and one
half times the total of last year.
Another manufacturer. he declared,
said he was receiving 5000 inquiries a
week. Records of results so far indi-
cate that the amount of work now
under way is from 6 to 20 times the
amount of loans.

his company had enjoyed more busi-
ness than at any time in Its history.
Apartment houses are filling up
with tenants, 1t was said, and less
than 10 per cent Of the available
apartments are vacant.
The increase in the number Of
rentals applies to apartments Of all
classes.
There has been sn estimated boost
of Is per cent in the number Of
residences rented.
Reasons cited by the real estate
men for the increase included gen.
eral improvement in business condi-
tions, more marriages. more jobs and
the ending of "doubling-up" by FAM
lilies.

BIN KILLS COAL DUST

A coal bin outside the foundation
wall of the house can help eliminate
dust from coal and increase the
cleanliness of the basement and the
house. Such a bin can be made Of
concrete or wood. One side would
be the foundation wall, conveniently
located in relation to the heater. A
sloping bottom throws the coal to-
ward a discharge door in the foun-
dation wall.
Automatic feed devices on the
market may be connected directly
with such a bin. These can furnish
a continuous supply of coal to the
firebox of the heater.

 Teoth really are more than chew food. They are, speaking from n beauty standpoint, tn, background of perfect smile They should be smooth and whltd --never minde if they are q trlflo crooked--so that you're pround to show them when you laugh. Con- stnnt cnre Is tho ono thing that will keep them that way.
 Remember that every person should visit the dentist every six. months. Let him fill the cnvities, extract old roots that he feels can be treated In no other way, and finally, have him clean and polish the teeth. The last step ig all im- portant. No matter how often nor how thoroughly you brush them yourself, you cannot prevent tartar from forming and no one but q dentist can successfully re- move tartar and deeply imbeddcd stains
 Of course, there Is great deul that you can and must do your self. Brush your teeth at least twice day-after each meal is better--and use dental floss sev- eral times a week. Buy your dentifrice because of its efficacy, noe merely because you like the taste of 1t. Baking soda Is an ex- cclicnt cleanser.
 Remember that everyone needs good mouthwash. And one with nstringcnt properties is especially fine. Not only will it keep the teeth and mouth in n cleaner con dition but will also prevent tha gums from shrinking away from tho teeth. Your dentist probably can recommend fine one.

COUPLES SET !! PEACE RECORD
Two Sisters and Husbands Claim Mark for Friend.
 ly Relations

St Louis (UP)-Two sisters and their husbands living here claim to hold the "world record" for griendly relations as noighbors.
 The story began 31 years ago when two roommates married sis- ters. One sister became Mrs George Bullerdick and the other Mrs Louis Kroener. in n double wedding cere- mony.
 The couples started housekeep- sng in adjoining flats and since then, with the exception of two brief periods, they have lived as neighbors. IA
 At one time, when the families lived in the same fiat--one upstairs and the other down--the mother went to 1.-Two with ono daughter on the first floor, and the father lived with the other upstairs.
 Their romances began about the same time and the sisters an- uounced their engagements jointly.
 Although one is several years older, the two, as girls, dressed as twins. They attend the same church, the same social organiza- tions and during the daytime, the women and constant companions.
 And, the women say, we've pever quarreled."

 And this Is why, of course. Fine, fluffy summer frocks have n perfect right 10 puff sleeves and sleeves of diaphanous proportions made of organd!e or taffeta or stif- fened fabrics.
