By LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

Here are few ideas which might
come in handy for one Of those post
Christmas shopping tours. If you
find you have forgotten some one
and must return the compliment OF
an unexpected present, you might
please an ardent home modifier with
one or more gadgets.
If he has an open fireplace which
always seems to lack firewood of
kindling size, why not solve his
problem and yours with Cape Cod
lighter? With one of these handy
little devices you don't have to worry
about crumpling up valuable sec
ton OF the Sunday paper and OBJ
tanning faggots, because it does away
with those old-fashioned fire.
starting methods. All you have to do
is light the end of the starter with
a match, place it under the logs and
away you 60. The authentic Cape
Cod lighter has an attractive brass
container for the kerosene, together
with piece of soapstone attached
to handy handle. The stone alb
serbs the kerosene, you light it with
match. and that's all there is to
it. Needless to say there is nothing
very new about these gadgets, but at
least they are newer than making a
fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Many people don't even have a
house, let alone fireplace, and some
little device which will help save
space in a small apartment will
bring a happy smile to any cliff
dwellers face.
Take the matter of clothes hooks,
for instance. Before you give him
new garment bracket for his closet
be sure that there is more than one
suit or dress in the house, or this
one will make him pretty mad. You
see, instead of having only a short,
small capacity hook, this bracket
starts out like standard hook, but
suddenly develops into long, hand
some thing capable of supporting
to 10 garments. Thus where only
one garment was hung before. you
can now place your entire wardrobe,
almost. This little bracket Is very
inexpensive. of course, and we would
certainly recommend getting one for
yourself il you find your friends
are all well taken care of this year.
Another little suggestion which we
bet will bring gasps of pleasure and
astonishment is complete set of
decalcomanias of Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs. You may be a
little tired of these familiar faces by
now, but the chances are that your
friends have children who are still
very much wrapped up in the doings
or Dopey and the others.
These l4-inch Snow Whites and
10-inch dWarfs are easily put in
place on the walls of nurseries. bath

brighten up those areas very nicely
They are put on, as every one knows,
by simply moistening them in water
and sliding them off of their white
mountings onto the spot you want
to decorate Because of their very
efficient adhesive qualities it is al
most impossible to disturb them once
they have dried in place, but of
course they can be removed if you
should some day want to replace
them with some new Disney movie
characters.
Our final suggestion may help you
to remember a fellow who likes to
tinker around with antique furniture
and put it back into working order.
This outfit is called a furniture re-
pair kit and has assembled under one

are used in the rehabilitation of fur
niture and cabinet work.
It includes a variety of stains.
filters, lacquers, solvents, oils, paint
removers and allied products. 1t
also includes a set of tools which he
can use to smooth, fill and finish
wood surfaces to his hearts content
On second thought, we believe it
might be good idea to mention that
a kit of this sort would be an ideal
gift for the family having two c.
more violent children, or other types
OF active occupants. 1t would pay
for itself in no time by providing
source of repair materials for not
only old furniture but also for new
furniture which has taken a merci-
less beating at the hands of some
young desperadoes.

disagreeable and much too frequent

evenly, stands up under hard wear,
and is altogether bright thought
of today's forWard-thinking build
ing industry.
Aluminium window sills are avail
able in various widths and in any
length practical for the usual house
job. They also come in 21-foot
lengths which may be cut to size.
Easy to install, permanently water
tight, they are thin and light, yet
maintain adequate strength. The
weight of the average width sill is
about l pound per foot of length,
so it is easy for one man to handle
sills of any length required. The
sills are designed with an ample
projecting drip ledge, which mini
mizes drip stain from causes other
than the sill itself. This means the
aluminium can't possibly stain any
adjoining masonry in the house.
Because the aluminium sill sections
are thin and do not exceed the
width of the masonry joints around
your window, the body of the sill
may be extended at either end into
the masonry tn do double duty in
providing a weatherproof joint. Or,
if you can't use that method of in
stallation for one reason or another,
you can have the sill cut to the
exact width of window and caulked
at the jamb. This gives reliable
joint, since the caulking material
allows sufficient movement to take

OF almost equal importance as the
school was the elimination Of the
Third street car line and establish
ment OF an express rush hour service
from Manor Park and Takoma Park
to the downtown section Of the city
The association was also instrumental
IN obtaining feeder bus service be-

In keeping with the transportation
improvement it was necessary tina.

LACK Uf BUILDING
.|SCOSTLYFORD.C.
Other Cities Get Money That
Might Come Here With
New Auditorium.
nv JOHN H. Cassidy, Jr

BY JOHN H. Cassidy, Jr.
Millions Of dollars are slipping
through the fingers Of Washington
residents every year because the city
Is shy one building.
The Public and Private Build
inss Committee of the Board Of Trade
admits this probably sounds like an
absurd statement in view of the fact
that Washington has about as many
buildings as 1t has trees. Nevertheless,
the statement Is true, If the COM
u1ittee's estimates are anywhere near
correct.
The important building missing Is
an adequate auditorium for the Dis
trict of Columbia. This isn't the
first time the committee has been
known to mention this fact. The
problem has been on the minds Of its
members for years.
Other Groups Agree.
And this important board unit has
not been alone in its contention that
. large auditorium, comparable to
those Of other cities, is one Of WASH
ington's biggest needs today. Other
organizations have become interest
ed. Congress has appointed a COM
mission to consider plans for an audi
torium.
Meantime, however, the Capital con-
tinues to lose money as long as the
auditorium is kept only on blue
prints and architects drawings be-
~ fon nt v,i1o
tions which attract hundreds and thou
sands of persons to their annual con-
ventions are meeting in other cities,
where there is a gathering place big
enough for their requirements.
Such organizations as the Ameri-
can Legion, the florists Of the country.
medical groups, ETC., meet annually
In other cities because they can be
assured of better facilities. the COM
mittee contends. Washington, of
course, has halls large enough to ac-
colnmodate the usual convention
crowd. but there Is a lack OF space
for exhibits.
food shows could be much more elabo-
rate and enjoyable affairs If there
was an auditorium big enough to al
low for more exhibits as we'll as many
more spectators, according to the COM
mittee.
The committee has been working on
this project for several years. About
two years ago it sent to Congress the
results of an exhaustive survey of
auditoriums in principal cities all over
the country, explaining how they
were financed, their cost, size, number
Of rooms. etc.
This project is one in which the
committee has been consistently inter-
ested, but there are other phases of
public and private building problems
which continually demand its atten-
ton.
Under the leadership of Arthur B.
Heaton, chairman, 1t has long sup
ported efforts to rid the Nations
Capital of its alley dwellings and
waged a fight for stricter regulations
regarding condemnation of insanitary
buildings.
Harvey L. Jones, a member of the
committee, is chairman of a subcom-
mittee which is seeking construction
of new arn1ory for the District Ma
tional Guard-another project long
sought by various organizations in
Washington.
A special subcommittee to handle
the auditorium project has been
formed, with c. Melvin Sharpe as
chairman.

THE Voteless D. c. League Of

These wide-awake, energetic
women are giving a practical
demonstration of what can and
should be done throughout the
country. The folks back home"
as our legislators affectionately call
them, need to be told the story of
their voteless and unrepresented
fellow Americans at the National
Capital. They need to know that
this un-American scheme of gov
ernment is as unsatisfactory and
unWorkable as it is un-American.
They also need to be told that the
permanent residents of the District
of Columbia earnestly desire to end
their anomalous situation and be
given participation in the councils
of the Nation in the same manner
as exercised by other Americans.
There are other organizations in
