BUSINESS IS GOOD
IN PUERTO RICO
Conditions Even More Fa-
vorabIe Than in '29,
Winship Says.

Business conditions in Puerto Rico
at the present time are the best in
many years and even more favorable
than in 1929. Gov. Blanton Winship
reported yesterday
THE islands purchases from con-
ttnental United States and sales of
its own products to the States gained
substantially during the fiscal year
Just closed,' Gov. Winship said.
"Puerto Rico's sales to the States in
creased sl4,0000o0 in the fiscal year,
Is compared with the year before,
and 1t is estimated that purchases
from the States were correspondingly
higher.
There has been a temporary let
down in the embroidery and needle
work industry in recent weeks, but
that clearly is due to uncertainty
yegarding minimum-wage legislation,
which will be cleared up within a
short time. This industry has in
creased in volume from about sl2,-
100000 to more than S2l. 100000 in
four years time and can be counted
on to become still larger in the fu-
ture."
Funds Are Invested.
Reports that business men are re-
iuctant to invest funds in Puerto
Rico are misleading. Gov. Winship
stated. Il personally know of num-
ber of concerns which are planning
new investments on the island he
said. New fruit canneries are con-
templated and many new industries
ere to be started
There is a building boom in San
Juan and other cities right now
which exceeds the building program
of most mainland cities. New apart
ment buildings and homes for tour
lists have been erected. and con-
tracts have been let for great
deal Of modernizing. In addition, an
extensive public works program has
been carried on in recent months. -
Pay Roll Level High.
Higher wage levels have been an
important factor in increasing busi-
mess activity. the Governor added.
PAY rolls now are at the highest
level of all time. and the buying
power of the laboring group has
been improved. Puerto Rico last
. year ranked sixth as a buyer of goods
sold outside the States by American
farmers and manufacturers, purchas-
Ing more than any foreign country
tno -,,st
Japan, France and Germany.
purchases showed a further in
crease during the fiscal year just end
ed. The island set new high records
IN its purchases of automobiles, leath-
er shoes, cigarettes and fertilizers
from the States and bought increased
quantities of most other items

IS square feet, and on gravel (such
as the fiat roof of an apartment build

covers about Is square feet a gallon
on rough surfaces, 35 square feet on

And 1t isn't expensive.
THE most important thing to con-
slider in applying Wallboard. which
has become a popular indoor sport
for winter, is joining the boards. The
texture, color and composition of the
Wallboard may please, but only if
there is strong, dependable system
Of fastening the boards together.
The problem has been solved by
one wallboard maker with a new
board with recessed edges that form
a channel at each joint. A special
cement and a perforated tape are
pressed between the depression edges
of every two pieces of board. After
drying, the cement is sandpapered
evenly. No possibility of that Joint
loosening! It's as tight as if there
were no Joint at all. The tape and
cement make a bond between the two
edges of board that acts as reinforce
ment for the whole length. And the
smooth surface allows any type of
decoration-paper, canvas, paint,
calcimine.
Retter stronger Joints thus are
possible without any material increase

tors involved. The particular point
in the real estate cycle at which the
loan is made and considerations re-
garding the future of the neighbor-
hood in which the house is located
must also be weighed in the balance.
Exceptional Cases Noted.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee in regard to the exceptional
cases where loans are more than Is
years would be permissible was as
follows:
They should be confined to new
homes with an unusually careful in
vestlgation of the individual, particu-
larly his ability to carry on for the
period of the loan which necessarily
involves his age and the character of
his employment ana should not be
made from percentages in excess of
65 per cent of the appraised value.
Even 60 to IS per cent loan might
be too high in given case with ap-
preaching bad year trends in real
estate
Evening star., 1937-11-27

in price. And the boards can be ap-
piled either horizontally or vertically.
Horizontal joints, as . matter Of fact,
mean less joints and stronger walls.
The wallboard is made by we'll
known manufacturer, with dealers
almost everywhere. You probably
know the board, but if you have not
seen the new recessed-edge construc-
ton, drop in and have look at it..
You may get ideas for new uses of
the old wallboard friend.
THE other day friend of ours told
us she was going to remodel her
homes windows. She said, although
she loved her historic house, she could
no longer cope with the inconvenience
of plugs and hooks to hold the sashes
up when she raised them. She was
going to buy double-hung windows
that work easily.
windows, but don't think metal would
be becoming in my particular kind of
house." she explained.
Gently but firmly we began to tell
her about wood easements. She had
never realized that easements Of wood
come packaged like metal units COM
plete with storm windows, screens,
misunderstanding. ct al We don't know
why, because some OF the most modern
developments in window construction
are embodied in wood easements.
An excellent example Of this is the
line Of Midwestern manufacturer,
Evening star., 1937-11-27

TINE roof over your head can take
as much tender care as the
floor under your feet, but how
a seldom is an equal amount of
attention given these two vital parts
of a house!
You see a floor all the time, know
when it needs refinishing, repairing
or what not. The roof. high above
you. is virtually out of sight; there
fore, many householder neglects 1t
until real damage is done.
One Of the regular services we owe
our roofs is protection from leakage
This can be done with preservative,
asphaltic in character, which stops up
tiny, hairline cracks around chimneys,
cornices and flashing If you see that
small leaks are repaired in this FASH
ion, new ones won't be as likely to
develop.
The protecting liquid tor plastic,
for it comes IN two forms), we have
found, puts an elastic. one-piece COW
ering over all cracked or likely-to-
crack parts of the roof. You brush it
on. one-sixteenth of an inch thick, as
soon as you discover that gutter Is
leaking. or the flashing has pulled
away from the outside edge of your
chimney. Being rubbery in it's con-
sistency, it will expand and contract
with the weather while the leak re-
mains sealed underneath.
The plastic type of protection goes
on thicker-one-eighth of an inch
and is needed on very badly worn
spots, seams. etc. 1t is made of the
same durable ingredients as the liquid.
namely. long-f1ber asbestos asphalt. a
natural waterproofing agent. and nom
oxidizing oils. The proportion of as
phalt to the oil is larger in the plastic
version, to give it cement consistency.
You apply the plastic with a mason's
trowel or a putty knife, while the
liquid is brushed on.
Among the uses to which the plastic
can be put are the resurfacing of old
tin or felt fiat roofs, repairing sky
lights, cutters, valleys and chimneys,
filling expansion joints and water
prooflng foundation walls below grade
You can use it on stone or concrete
quite safely for it contains no lead
and will not pollute water 1t cannot
be used over the entire surface of a
stone or stucco building inasmuch as
it is black in color.
The manufacturer recommends that
a o,aptity of the liuDi6 or p1a stir he
kept on hand at all times for any
emergency, especially If a leaky roof
should develop during storm. You
can hustle right out and fiX it, they
declare. for it can be applied even
in the pouring rain. On comparatively
smooth surfaces the liquid will cover
IS to 100 square feet gallon. On
