F. H. A. Associate Director Tells
of Extraordinary Response
in Hawaii.

Pledges for modernization projects
totaling 100000 were obtained in
Honolulu, Hawaii, within the first
seven days Of the program, according
to Ray Semmes, associate director Of
the Federal Housing Administration
for the Hawaiian Islands.
The program began April 8. BY
noon April Is, according to Mr..
Semmes, the total had beer reached.
Il believe this to be unique rec
ord of achievement for any section
of the United States" the message
continued. Due to cooperation of
the Chamber of Commerce and other
substantial citizens. was able to
launch the campaign within five
weeks after arrival. Honolulu OFF,

Joseph B. Poindexter, Governor Of
the islands. and Mayor George Fred
Wright Of Honolulu each issued proc
lamations to commemorate the OPEN
ing of the modernization program.
Both the Democratic Central Com

CAST.STONE METHOD
TO BE SHOWN HERE
Dupont Carlton Tower Uses En-.
tirely New Construction Idea
to Gain Permanency.

A small scale wall section showing
the unusual application Of cast stone
in the beautiful 200-foot carlton
tower being erected at Nemours, near
Wilmington, Del, will be feature
of the exhibit of the Cast Stone In
stitute in the United States Chamber
of Commerce Building May 15-17.
The carlton tower, planned by the
late Alfred I. Du Pont, utilizes an
entirely new method of construction.
The walls are to be Of cast stone S
inches thick, backed by IL inches Of
cast-in-place concrete. The cast stone
walls. in panels Of approximately 4la
by Is feet, are erected one course at
a time and act as one side Of the
form for the concrete.
This new method Of construction,
engineers say, promises to revolution
ize building practice. 1t Is especially
suitable for earthquake zones. where
the anchoring of a decorative wall
material to structure frames presents
a difficult problem.
The great tower, approximately 26
feet square at the base, was designed
by Massena g. Du Pont, architects.
Crypts for burial of members of the
Du Pont family lie beneath the base
Of the tower. 1t is to be topped with
a powerful aviation beacon light.
Plans were approved by the late Alfred
I. Du Pont shortly before his death.

GLASS HEAT LOSS
REDUCTION SEEN
New Inventions Include MuI-
tipIe Glazing as Saving
in Fuel Costs.

New inventions are doing much to
reduce heat losses from buildings
through glass. Just as the insula-
ton of walls, floors and ceilings, a
comparatively recent development,
increased efficiency of heating and re-
duced fuel costs, multiple glazing Of
windows now makes possible other saw
ings In fuel consumption.
Interest of property owners is more
widespread in this activity during the
Spring and Summer months, since
many glass installations are made
during warm weather, according to
building authorities.
1t Is possible that as much as half
the total heat loss from a building
may occur through glass areas, par
ticularly with the tendency toward the
use of large and numerous windows In
modern structures. With the recogni-
tion Of this fact, multiple glazing and
the value of glass masonry increases
in significance, because it offers a
major opportunity for the reduction
in heat losses in Winter.
To Prevent Heat Loss.
Several methods of window design
and construction for minimizing heat
losses have been developed. accord
ing to information furnished the
Federal Housing Administration, which
Is insuring loans for the moderniza-
ton Of existing homes and the con-
struction Of new ones. Storm sash
is the oldest method in use. To be
effective these sash must be tightly
fitted to reduce air infiltration to a
minimum.
A variation Of the storm sash meth
cd Is the installation of two complete
windows, each permanently installed
and suitably weatherstripped. Some
experts consider that the large space
customarily used between panes in
both the storm-sash and double-win-
dow methods to be less effective than
more limited space, such as approx
imately one-half inch.
Modern Variation.
A modern variation of the storm
sash method is convenient in that
double glazing is used in ordinary
double-hung or easement sash, the
double glazing consisting Of two panes
Of glass separated by suitable stops.
Air within the space should be de-
hydrated to prevent condensation be-
tween the panes, and the two panes
should be Theoretically sealed A vari-

"In recoating shingled roofs paint
can be applied over stain, but the re-
verse is not true-stain cannot be
used on top Of paint"
The fire-retardant qualities Of paint
are also pointed out by Mr.. Elton IN
this connection. Painless, dried-out
shingles have q tendency to curl up
and blow away Shingles in this con-
dition, in addition to admitting lnois-
ture, are great fire hazard.

Below the rock garden the grade is
sharply cut away by a low brick re-
tanning wall, about four rows Of brick.
Here again soil pockets are left be-
tween the bricks for wall flowers. At
the foot of this is the old-fashioned
sWeet-Scented perennials and ANIMALS,
such as bleeding heart, migonette,
fuchsias. baby's breath, verbena, cow
slips and cockscomb, canterbury bells,
tratoma, digitaliS, coryopsis and
veronica. These and many others give
the informal effect so much to be
desired at home.
Beyond all this a bird bath rises
from rose bed Of 80 bushes, made
colorful before rose time by tulips and
violas. Flags are set about this bed
to make care easier and safer for the
flowers. Past this one comes upon a
softly winding little path of flags
which were pieces of concrete mixture
dug up from an old building plot
This path curves between the rose bed
and forsythia bushes which hide the
last brick terrace from the house. In
early April these forsythias give the
garden its keynote of yellow, which is
carried on by jonquils and yellow
violas, with blue anchusas and blue
grape hyacinth giving the needed con-
trast.
1t is here this little garden ends on
an adventurous note, with two blue
gates set amid hollyhocks of very
dark red and cream.

ROOF PAINTING
EPIDEMIC SEEN
Paint Association Executive
Holds Roof Deserves
Deepest Respect.

From the all-important pocketbook
angle, the roof of house deserves
the deepest respect, according to
Reuel w. Elton, secretary Of the Ma
tional Paint, Varnish and Lacquer
Association, which is located in Wash
ington.
"a national epidemic of shingling
and roof painting is due" says Mr..
Elton. Many roofs have deteriorated
to the danger point, and there Is no
part of house where neglect is more
apt to result in serious damage. Fall
ing plaster and rotting framework
are among the usual consequences Of
roof leaks. It Is the poorest sort Of
economy to delay repair work when
1t has become necessary. And, II the
property is being offered for sale, the
roof is the first thing the canny real
estate buyer inquiries about"
When new shingles are being ap-
piled, Mr.. Elton points out, the
shingles should be dipped in shingle
stain or painted before they are set
in place. This not only preserves
the wood, but prevents the cupping

SAVING INSURANCE
AIDS HOME TERMS|
Local Guarantees by U. S.
System Makes for Lib
eral Lending.

Federal insurance of savings in
vested In hundreds of local home
financing institutions not only has ex-
panded the volume of private funds
available for long-term home loans,
but has made more liberal lending
terms possible to home-owner borrow
ers, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board today asserts in statement on
the progress of the Federal Savings
& Loan Insurance Corp.
The report indicates that over half
Q billion dollars in savings, held by
an army of $4,000 investors, Is rep
resented in the 957 thrift institutions
which have already applied for such
insurance.
The complete statement follows:
"In order to protect several million
small investors in thrift associations
of the building and loan type against
loss. the Federal Savings & Loan In
surance Corp, with $l00,000,000
of capital, was created by Congress
June 27, 1884. It provides insurance
similar to that afforded to bank de-
positors under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.
Distinct in Application.
'It does not involve Federal insur-
ance of the individual mortgages held
by such thrift institutions, and, there
fore, is wholly distinct from the mort
gage insurance provided by the Fed
eral Housing Administration. Subject
to examination and approval by the
insurance corporation, insurance pro-
lection for their shareholders or de-
positors is optional for State chartered
building and loan associations, but
mandatory for all Federal savings
and loan associations.
"As of April 80, applications for in
surance had been received from 957
associations, holding aggregate re-
sources of $568,47l,l70. OF the ap-
plicant institutions, 472 are old-estab-
lished building and loan associations,
298 of which have recently converted
into Federal savings and loan associa-
tions Some $4,000 large and small
investors, with average savings of
about $640, constitute the depositors
or shareholders of the 957 institutions
which have applied to date. OF this
number, 748 associations, located in
AZ States, have already been approved
and represent $307 ,045, $50 of resources
and the savings of 1898 depositors
or shareholders, each of whom is now
fully protected by insurance up to
$1,000.
Reports from the majority of in
sured associations assert that the i'm
mediate result Of Federal insurance
of their accounts has been a rapid
increase in the amount of savings and
the number of investors in their insti-
tutions, and the almost complete ces-
sation of Withdrawals of savings by
their shareholders. These associations
also report that the amount of re-
sources thus placed at their disposal
is greater than the volume of appli-
cations for loans for home reflnancing,
construction or modernization.
Accordingly, the institutions have,
IN many instances, reduced their in
terest rates on home loans to the most
liberal terms which they have ever
offered. in order to serve a larger
number of borrowers, and thus keep
their lending operations in step with
the growing volume of their loanable
resources"

Why Army Is Favored.
Three factors contributed to the
edge Army held in the betting.
First was Ethe advantage in all
around ability held by the West Point
backfield, with Monk Meyers triple
threat monkeyshines the big gun in
the attack, ably supported by Ed
Grove, Bill Groh and Clinton True.
Second was the eight-pound per man
weight advantage packed by the Army
line-the forward wall that stopped
Yale's fast forwards and held Notre
Danes charging advance.
And third was the dry field, which
distinctly favored the lighter West
Point ball-carrying brigade.
On the other hand, Army had only
some 10 regulars of first-class caliber
compared to the shock-troop strength

position.

the ability of Meyer. Completing the
Navy starting backfleld were Dick

In the lines, however, rested the
result of the fray. Both Hamilton
and Gar Davidson, Army's pilot, ad-
mitted as much. Navy was unable
to hold Notre Danes charges this
year, and lost, 14-0, while Army held
them even. Army smeared the Yale
offensive for 14-8 win, while the
Ellis nosed out Navy, 7-6.
But as always in this traditional
contest comparative records mean
nothing. That was made clear only
as late as a year ago when Slade
