tracted 100000 to 5oOaOOO visitors
to washington yesterday, it was
estimated, a record crowd.
Every hotel and rooming house
was filled and many visitors had
to find accommodations in Balti-
more and Alexandria.
Park police said some $4,000
pedestrians saw the blossoms, and
$1,000 automobiles passed the inlet
bridge at the Tidal Basin.
Weather Fitful
The day was raw with only
htful glimpses o fthe sun. A chill
wind ruffled the waters Of the
basin and there was occasional
snow and rain.
Most police whom worked over
time to keep traffic moving.
Streets were cleared of parked
cars, right-hand turns were abol-
ished, and many emergency one
way lanes were designated. In
spector William Holmes said:
at was the biggest tie-up I
have ever seen. All day long it
extended from the Tidal Basin
to Rhode Island Avenue"
Travellers between Washington
and Baltimore got in jams and in
some instances could not move for
over a half hour.
Hackers Disappointed
Hack drivers who had expected
big business were disappointed as
they spent most of the day in traf-
fic jams.
Few Washington cars were in
evidence. Pennsylvania licenses
predominated but cars were here
from nearly every State.
1t took an hour to get from
Pennsylvania Avenue to the Tidal
Basin and two hours to circle the
basin.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS
EXAMINED BY F. H. A.
Study of 300 Systems Made to De-
termine Eligibility for Use in
Insured Mortgage Homes.

Details of more than three hum
dred methods of construction have
been examined by the Technical Divi-
sion of the Federal Housing Admins
tration, according to Howard P. YER
nnilva. director of the Technical d.
vision.
Advice on the efficacy and suit
ability of the methods, specific in
formation thereon, or a ruling as to
their eligibility for use in building
a house the mortgage of which Is
insured under the Insured Mortgage
system have been the reasons prompt
ing their submission by the sponsors.
Most OF the requests have fallen in
the latter category, Vermilya said.
General or favorable rulings have
been issued by the Technical Divi-
sion on 81 different types of con-
struction. according to Vermilya, but
he explained this does not imply that
all of the remainder were faulty.
Sponsors of new methods of con-
struction are required by the Housing
Administration to demonstrate that
the method proposed is dependable
and durable type of construction be-
fore q ruling will be made to permit
the insurance of mortgage on a resi-
dence where 1t is used.

BY DOROTHY DUCAS AND
ELIZABETH GORDON.

IF YOU live in the country or on a
tree shaded street this is the time
of the year when you are conscious
of the doctoring trees require IL
they are to stay strong and grow big.
And If you are like us you frequently
stop to watch the operations Of the
tree surgeons, pruning and chaining
branches, digging out and filling cavi-
ties.
Perhaps, then, you have noticedsthat
when branch has been Topped off the
tree man applies dark kind of paint
over the moist, light colored wound
left by the amputat ton. Do you know
what the paint is, in many instances?
Why, the same kind of paint you use
or should use-on the roof of your
house!
For rot-resistant paint, so essential
in binding up the raw spots on a
doctored tree serves the same purpose
there as it does on the top Of your
house. An extra-heavy, asphalt-im-
pregnated paint, which is waterproof
and fire resistant, as we'll as tough and
sun fast, can be used on any surface,
but it is especially important to have
this kind of paint on your roof. The
roof takes the brunt of sunlight, rain,
sea spray, smoke and whatever chem
ical fumes there may be in your
neighborhood. Even acids sometimes
fall there and with ordinary paint
leave ugly scars to mar the pleasing
expanse of green or brown or black.
We have found the right paint for
roofs in a product which is used almost
everywhere in this country, indus
trially, for combating heat, moisture
acid, smoke and fumes. 1t has anaz-
ing resistance to these destructive
forces, which is why it makes an
ideal coating for oil tanks, water tanks
towers, marine equipment, structural
iron bridges, even farm implements.
Wherever moisture must be kept out
a special kind of paint is required
and nowhere is it more important tc
exclude the rainy elements than on the
roof of house, which acts, 80 to speak
| like a lid on a box. 1t has to fl
| tightly, which means it must not have
gaps around the edges nor even he
family porous.
The makers of the paint we have ir
mind point with pride to bridge be-
| tween Bellaire, Ohio, and Benwood,
w. Va, where a single coat of theil
special black asphalt paint has stood
up for four years without redoing
although the bridge goes right over
the yards and main lines Of two rail-
roads and a steel company's plant
subjecting the bridge to an almost
constant cloud of smoke and gas
fumes.

How to Repair Roof.

When repairing a gravel roof, first
sweep the entire surface clean OF all
dirt and loose gravel. Then inspect
carefully for leaks-especially around
flashings, skylights, chimneys and gut
ters-and patch them. When this has
been done, apply heavy roof coating
by brushing in one direction only,
using broom, roofing brush or .
spreader.

"Nothing is more fundamental
than the shelter to which we return

developers. lumber dealers, heatlng

which make for residential comfort

Taxes and Assessments.

The tax and assessment burden to

Mortgage Insurance Costs.

The mutual mortgage insurance
premium, which must be paid by all
