Waste Through
Use of Improper
Paint Is Cited
DR.. BrOnne Yarns
against Using Wrong
Type on Homes.

Dire warnings of the results of using
the wrong type of house paints was
given today by DR.. F. l.. Browne, De-
partment of Agriculture expert, who
has just completed study of the paint
problem.
Home owners waste much paint
money each year by spreading good
paint in the wrong place and by trying
to cover old paint with new paint that
is chemically incompatible or in which
there are pigments that do not go
we'll with the old pigments" Browne
declared
Browne checked the comparative
lasting qualities of different paints in
many communities throughout the
country to reach his conclusions He
paid particular attention to villages
built by private industrial firms whose
records of repainting jobs show the
kind of paints used. how they lasted,
and how often repainting was done
Some OF Brownies painting don'ts
are.
Don't apply white paint or a colored
paint made by tinting a white paint,
over an old colored-pigment paint.
Don't put white paint over a
tinted white paint.
Don't experiment with a new brand
OF paint every time the house is
painted.
Don't cover paint containing var
nish with paint lacking varnish, or
vice versa.

RESTORED HOMES
ON ROMANTIC SPOT
Alexandria Historians Tell
of Buildings Used by
Coach Drivers.
BY MARSHALL w. BAGGETT,
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, May 25.-From
what are believed to have been stage
coach drivers quarters to restored
homes with ultra-modern furnishings
is the transformation four joint
houses here have recently undergone
as part of the rehabilitation Of the
Colonial river front section Of Alex
andria.
A small part of the restoration
program that has seen the remodel
ing of approximately 200 old homes
here during the past two years, these
houses, located on a court in the rear
of the 400 block, South Lee street,
have history that is still matter
Of speculation.
Several of the city's informed
natives are at odds on the question
of the first usage of the buildings;
and Alexandria's chief historian,
Charles H. Callahan. is admittedly
stumped on the matter of their origin.
Now Two Connected Homes.
The restoration has transformed
them from four small houses into two
connected homes.
One native contends that the row
of brick houses was an outbuilding Of
the long destroyed Lambs Tavern,
believed to have been located nearby,
and that the row as such was used
as quarters for coach drivers, who
were not permitted to lodge in the
tavern. AS proof, he points to foun-
dations found short distance away
as the ruins of the old tavern.
New residents Of the court section
now known as Potomac Courts, are
so convinced of this version that they
are preparing to petition city council
to change the name to Stagecoach
Court.
Another informed native holds that
Lambs Tavern was located several
blocks north, and that the restored
buildings may have been a part of
the estate of Gen Daniel Roberdeau,
whose large Colonial home, built
prior to the Revolutionary War, is
located on the same block, at 4l8
South Lee street.
AS such, this native says the build
ings may have once been a carriage
house of the Roberdeau home.
Be that as it may, it is known that
the buildings we're once used as part
Of tobacco factory, and continued
as such until after the Civil War
Since then, until this year when they
were restored by Mr.. and Mrs
Charles r. Roof. they had been the
ebodes of none -too-reputabl families,
including a number of colored resi-
dents.
Five other old houses. all frame,
have recently been restored in the
court section. All are being in
habited by prominent new residents
of the old section of the city. which
natives refer to as the first ward
colony"
Because of the coincidental occur
renee of several blessed events"
among the new residents of the court
section, number of first ward citi-
zens now humorously refer to it as
Stork Court.

| Air Conditioning
Hay Fever and Asthma
Cured by Use Of
Apparatus.
by LAWRENCE TUCKER.

Air conditioning is being accepted
rapidly as the modern method of re-
lief from hay fever and asthma, and
sufferers from these Affections need
not fear the scourge period between
August and October if their homes or
business establishments are equipped
with up-to-date air-conditioning ap-
paratus.
Exhaustive tests conducted at Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore proved
conclusively the value of conditioned
air as a source of relief from these
maladies. BY means of temperature
humidity and air-flltration control
scientists have found that patients
placed in treated rooms respond al
most Immediately to this treatment.
Groups of patients were placed in
the air-conditioned rooms on different
days during the experiments and their
symptoms were closely watched. Per-
sons suffering from hay fever, without
asthma, noticed an astonishing change
in 10 or Is minutes. After an hour
in this conditioned atmosphere all
symptoms had entirely subsidized, and
after two hours even the worst cases
had no indication of the disease.
Sufferers from asthma noticed some
relief. but their improvement was not
so rapid as that experienced by victims
of hay fever If they remained in the
conditioned room long enough they
found definite improvement, but the
wheeling and difficult breathing re-
quired longer treatment for satisfac-
tory correction.
In order to definitely prove that air
conditioning was responsible for these
amazing results. numerous expert
ments were conducted Glass slides,
coated with petrolatum, were placed
in the test room before the air. -condi-
tioning apparatus was turned on.
They showed a pollen count COM
parable with slides exposed in other
parts of the hospital. The air con-
ditioners were started up. and SUBJ
sequent test disclosed the fact that
the pollen had been removed and could
be found in the moisture condensed
from the room air by the machines.
To dramatic these results even more
vividly, pollen was actually sprinkled
Evening star., 1935-05-25

in the test room. and in ~ hours
every trace of 1t had disappeared.
Other experiments have proven that
after spending a relatively short time
in an air-conditioned space the person
afflicted with hay fever can enjoy a
relief for as long as eight hours in
pollen laden air before the symptoms
return. There is evidently a very
definite, soothing and strengthening
effect on the irritated respiratory
passages, and if the patient spends
sufficient time in the treated air it
may be possible to effect complete
cure.
In addition to the relief obtainable
Evening star., 1935-05-25

from actual cooling and dehumidifying
equipment, it is also possible to obtain
q fair measure Of comfort by installing
efficient filtering devices, either In the
windows or in the circulating system
of a forced, warm-air heating plant.

Paint Emphasizes Spaces.

An effective way to emphasize spe-
cial wall spaces. such as the area
around the fireplace. the recess at the
head Of bed or the wall space around
a dining room sideboard, Is to paint
them a different tint or color than
the rest of the wall.
