November Drop as Desirable
for Long Pull

Residential building in Washington
ves ut the lowest ebb in November
since large scale building got under
way In 1885. The drop was unusually
severe. Only 81 houses and 10s apart
ment units were started, compared to
go total units last November. This
y . decrease Of almost rs per cent.
THIS rate Of construction is below
what would ordinarily be the normal
needs Of the city. There was also a
big falling off from October, when
the total number of units started was
s,b22. This statement was made bv
Rufus 8. Lusk, publisher of the Wash
ngton Business Review.
Construction has been proceeding
AZ such a rapid pace, continues Mr..
Lt1sks statement, that this sharp de-
cline Is not harmful to the general
situation While it means less work
and sale of building material. for the
Aong pun 1t Is desirable that residen-
tial construction should slow down in

Primer for Plaster, Wall Board.

A good primer for plaster and wall
board Is a coat of nat wall paint to
which hnseed oil has been added. As
wall board Is more porous than plaster,
1t requires an even greater proportion
OF oil. Many paints known as wall
coaters" or fiat wall paint under
coats" are also very satisfactory for
printing and are specially designed
for this purpose.

THE modern home Is being publi-

what with the danger Of falling down
in bathtubs and the perils OF electrical
appliances. We still think home is
great place. however, and with .
little care steps can be taken to elm

Shiny floors are pleasant things to

members Of your own household will
come cropper on particularly CLASSY
spots. To eliminate all this chaos
there is now available non-slip floor
finish which dries to a glossy condi-

aspect.
This finish is put on with . lambs

~ O YOU live in small apart
ment which has no facilities
for cooking? If your home Is
- lacking in that important
feature of good household you
probably have wished many times that
you could have kitchen equipment,
but decided not to install it because
1t would make you feel as if you were
sleeping in the kitchen-along with
the other phases of home life, all in
the same room.
10 divorce the entire kitchen de-
partment from the rest of the apart
ment all you have to do is put the
necessary stove, electric refrigerator
and sink in small closet or alcove.
With the equipment thus tucked away
you measure the width of the opening
and either go out and buy venetian
blind to fit it or, better still, call in
an expert.
COLD spots in some houses seem to
be almost impossible to take care
OF without taking quantities of heat
and dumping it right in the dificult
area. This procedure does not mean
the building of small fires around the
house where desired. but rather the
use OF portable electric heater which
has large heating capacity and low
operating cost.
Instead of working on the prin-
ciple Of sun" or radiant heat like
most electric outfits, this unit works
With heated air. In other words, 1t
heats up air and circulates it, thereby
reaching far corners of chilly rooms,
The whole thing is built into a small
portable cabinet with a handle on
