Last year Fleming kayoed six
of his eight opponents. He de-
feated Tony Ortenzi. Of Western

KatalinaS has three more
chances to stow away his oppo-

able record set by Fleming.
Heavyweights from WeSte m

Lancaster, HAN Mller
Lancaster, sub, halfback In
football, is a half-miler Of great
promise. Last year he won the
half-mile in Roosevelt's meet with
Forest Park. He also won the
event in the Triangular meet in
yolving Roosevelt, western and
Westinghouse High. In the
inter-high, however, he was able
to cop only the heat for the half
mile, being among the "also rams"
in the regular race.
Joe Pitcher, a miller, ranks next
sto Lancaster. This lad won the
event in the Triangular meet men
3tioned above and duplicated the
feat against Alexandria High (now
George Washington High), later
on.
Of the others, Lauren Seavers
boasts the greatest promise. Seav-
ers is q Sprinter, and Coach Wood

real point getter before the i'm

The remainder Of "Woody'S'

He ran second to Byron Hayden,

Marlowe is now at Georgetown

Building of private homes has in

This year will see the construction
of 250,000 new homes, says Stewart

traitor. He is corroborated by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
which foresees the construction of
"over 200 900" new homes during the
year.
Many factors contribute to this
sudden rush of Americans for homes
of their own-some social, some dnan-
cial.
Federal experts point to the Short
age of homes, estimated from 100000
to 1,5O0,0 900, created by the depression
years when new construction slumped.
They also point out that there is q
large marriage reserve" among per-
sons unable to marry during the de-
preston; to widespread doubling up
of families which now are seeking
homes of their own; to accumulated
obsolescence Of old homes: to the

so that water won't seep through the
cracks between mortar and bricks.
Repointing consists of scraping out
the old mortar wherever there is a
defective joint or crack showing
between it and a brick, and putting
new mortar, as far back as you can
reach. It is not cheap-sometimes it
costs 81 a square foot for a good job,
but it is the only sure way. Then
when you are through, you might put

With stucco houses you can only

will soak into all the little holes and

permanent, and must be done over

your wall slightly darker each time
you put it on, but most householders
think dark outside wall is preferable
to stained one inside.
