branches Of the military pro-

from him. AS the cavalry, brass

BUILDING PROGRAM

Every State Expected to Benefit

Campaign.

The large home renovation and
housing program contemplated by the
administration, and understood to be
scheduled for Nationwide launching
late this month, is seen as the needed
spark to set off a movement for prop
erty improvement that should spread
through every State Of the Union.
The vast accumulation of needed
home repairs painting and redeco-
ration, postponed until it can be de-
layed no longer. has reached tre-
mendouS proportions, architects and
builders declare. 1t is estimated that
there is potential demand for from
81 ,000, 100000 to $4,000, 100000 in
home renovation and moderniZation.
Authorities in the paint industry es-
innate that 80 per cent of the prop
erty in this country is in need OF new
surface protection.
This need for home reconditioning
it is felt in administration circles
here. can probably be satisfied before
the end of the present year if the
proper cooperation is obtained from
labor, industry and finance.
Although the Governments plan
appears at present to be rather
nebulous, it Is understood that the in
tention is to utilize private financing
agencies and .he Home Owners Loan
Corporation supplemented by a COM
paratively small amount of Federal
money for purposes of controlling the
undertaking and reassuring private
interests
Acting as sort Of primer" the
Government contribution to the pro-
gram is seen as ending the stagnancy
that has characterized home repair,
modernization and painting activity
for the last several years.

traditionally portrayed, seated in
throne and having in his hands the
tables of the law. Three thousand
years haye passed since he led the
Jews out of captivity into freedom.
and yet, as a recent commentator
has declared, he continues a familiar
and fascinating figure to all eyes
ITO one side of Moses stands Solon,
the famous author of the common
laws Of Athens, one of the seven wise
men Of ancient Greece. A leading
personality among the constructive
reformers of antiquity. his influence
still is operative in the world. He
died about $50 BE-, but in many
ways he was as modern as any man
living today. He believed in practical
democracy, standard weights and
measures. equitable policies of taxa
ton and vocational education-all
fundamental ideals in the Judgment
OF twentieth century legislators, ad-
ministrators and judges.
And on the other side of Moses
appears Confucius, the celebrated
Chinese philosopher, born about 55l
BIC. Successfully market inspector,

teacher magistrate and minister of
crime in the Province of Lu, he is
described as having sought to attain
a happy tranquility throughout the
Chinese Empire basically predi-
Gated on the five obligations of hu-
man society-the relations between
sovereign and subject, father and
son, husband and wife, elder and
younger brothers, and friends The
keynote of his doctrine was virtuous
conduct. He pleaded for honesty among
nations, peoples and individuals, and
his message has the same significance
today that it had 20 centuries ago."
Mr.. Lynn explained that to the
left of the central group is a figure
synbolizing the enforcement of the
law, while to the right is one repre-
senting justice tempered by mercy.
With these characters on either side
are efigies of youth, carrying on"
civilization through the knowledge of
ethical principles imbibed through
education.
Two figures with shields depict the
settlement of disputes between States
through enlightened judgment and
