TREATMENT SHOWN
TO PROTECT ELMS
Arsenate of Lead Will Prevent
Damage to Trees by Leaf
Beetles.

Elms Of all species in many Sec
tions are being attacked by the elm
leaf beetle and its larvae, and by
other insect pests, according to DR..
E. N. Cory, Maryland State entomolo-
gist. The leaf beetles, he explains,
live over Winter in protected places
and feed on the leaves of elms early
in the Spring. Later they lay eggs
on the leaves, which hatch into black
larvae that feed there.

of lead, one and one-half pounds to

he states, will usually prevent further
damage during the season, although

weeks later may be desirable
Two other insects which DIR. Cory
says are abundant on elm leaves at
about this time are the cockscomb
gall and the woody apple aphid. The
former gets its name from the re-
semblance of the gals formed on
leaves to the combs Of roosters. In
side the gals are large numbers of
aphids, or plant lice. AS control
measure for both these pests, he rec

Painting and home renovation
probably will lead all other forms Of
repair during the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration's drive to bring prosper
ity to the construction industry and
allied trades, Ia the opinion Of Albert
L. Deans, deputy housing admins

1.-The home" Deane said this week,
will come in for greater benefits
than other types of real property
under the modernization feature of
the housing act. First attention of
home owners will be given to those
essential repairs and reconditioning
operations which have been put off
so long during this era OF economic
stress.
Painting, the repair Of leaking
roofs, CUTTERS and downspouts, and
other necessary exterior operations, Of
course, will come first. Next in line
will be interior work, including re-
decoration, remodeling and inStalla-

NEW PRODUCT USED
Insulating Material Is Made Of
Pre-Shrunk Asbestos Pipe.

A new product In the field Of in
sulating materials is a pre-shrunk
asbestos pipe covering with an alumi-
mum finish. says the plumbing and
heating industries bureau. Because Of
the finish, this type of insulator is
especially suited for use in basement
recreation rooms where pipes are ex-
posed to view.
The amount of heat lost through
bare iron pipes is enormous, and is
not realized by many building owners
or the general public, the bureau
points out.
The heat loss varies from So cents
for 100 linear feet of half-inch pipe at
40 degrees Fahrenheit to $76.50 for
100 feet of ls-inch pipe at $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, research work at the
Mellon Institute has disclosed.

Paint Flower Stands White.

Iron flower stands for the sun room
are now painted white if the house
holder wants to be up to date. Any
good white paint, either fat or glossy
finish, can be used in converting the
usual green or black painted stands
into this now fashionable color.
Metal wall flower baskets and flower
pot holders may be similarly treated
with gratifying results.

Determining Surface Area.

To determine the number Of square
feet of surface on your house to be
painted, add the length and width
of the building and multiply this
total by the height to the caves. For
gables, add the width Of the house
multiplied by the height of the gable
above the corner posts. Your painter
can then estimate for you how much
paint win be required for your project.

St. Paul Taxpayer
Says Free Drivers
License is Mistake

P. A. Beckjord, president of the
Midway club of St. Paul, has refused
to accept free drivers licenses for his
wife and five children on the grounds
that at is ridiculous to expect the
state to issue seven licenses for rs
cents"
He so notified the drivers license
division of the highway department.
eff our legislators really believe
that the licensing of drivers is for
the purpose of making our highways
safer," said Mr.. Beckjord, 'the law
must be changed so that sufficient re-
venue is available to provide ade-
quate enforcement of the measure.
Every driver should pay for his own
individual license and there should be
provision for renewal of licenses"
