creeping into your house on a scorch-
ing hot day, is far from welcome
guest. Thus: awnings.
Awnings of fabric, wood or metal
all serve to protect the interiors Of
houses from the direct rays of the
sun. But the new outdoor Venetian
blind, or ventilating awning, We have
been hearing about adds extra pro-
lection by rejecting the suns heat

suspension cables which secure the

capable Of withstanding a tensile
stress of $50 pounds, while the head

made of copper-bearing steel. Even
the extension arms are galvanized
iron, so all the material used is dur
able and f1reproof.
The advantages of having your out

vious; the Stats may be tilted to
obtain just the degree of light or

in colors to harmonic or blend with

natural color of aluminium or any
shade you want in lacquer. The lacquer
does not destroy the heat-refiectlng
capacities of the metal, those special

Because all the parts of this avn
ing are permanent. even the tapes
being of metal, requirements are at
minimum. Indeed, over a period OF
10 years, a saving of rs per cent may
be effected in the cost OF your avn
ings," it is said. The awnings cost
little more than ordinary awnings OF

in appearance and gain in comfort,
so it's worthwhile investigating them,
certainly.

seat. Therefore it is good news that
there is a new seat on the market
which is -inflammable, indestruc-
tible, possible to keep smooth and

lighted cigarette on it.
We tested a sample OF the new
seat here in the Home Institute by
laying a cigarette across it and letting
it burn for two or three minutes.
When we lifted the cigarette off there
was deep yellow gouge in the sur
face which we thought impossible to
remove. We rubbed it with steel wool
and soap. removed the yellow stain;
then scrubbed it with a commercial
cleansing powder and finally rubbed
it hard with sandpaper. 1t took IS
minutes with medium course grade
of sandpaper. and finished with cleans
ing powder, and 10 and behold! no
mar or stain was visible. The seat
regained its original luster, too.
We also pounded the sample with
hammer, spilling red ink and iodine
on it and, although it took elbow
grease to remove them, we finally
got every trace off. The seats are
made of a thick white composition
plastic moulded under 100000 pounds
of hydraulic pressure over hard

bearing. 1t is all in one piece with

BUILDING MARK
.|SSEEN FOR 1888
F. H. A. Officials Announce
Increase Has Been Trend
Since Last March.

Federal Housing Administration
officials today declared present resi-
Dental building trends indicated last
years record-the best since 1881
would be surpassed in 1888.
In 1887 the residential construction
peak was reached in April and was
followed by sharp decline beginning
with July and continuing throughout
the remaining months.
IN contrast, however, 1898 has
shown a steadily increasing trend,
beginning last March, the first full
operative period under the February
amendments broadening and libe al
izing the National Housing Act. Each
month has shown gains over the pre-
ceding months.
In some localities, private residen-
tial construction during the first half
year has surpassed such constructor
in the similar period of 1887. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics, for in
stance, lists II States in this group,
namely, New Hampshire, New York,
Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Georgia, Maryland, North
Carolina. Virginia, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada, Wy
oming and Washington.
The volume trend Of new construc-
ton Is further portrayed by F. w.
Dodge Corp, statistics just released
show an 81 per cent increase in the
value of contracts signed in July as
compared With the same month last
year, and an increase of 2l.5 per cent
in the value Of one and two family
dwellings Tor which contracts were
awarded.
Gross business of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration has shown a per-
centage increase each month since
the signing of the amendments to
the National Housing Act in February.
In July small home mortgages selected
for appraisal actually showed a 100
per cent increase over July 1887.
Repairs, additions and alterations
to home, business structures and other
buildings has paced this trend under
the Property improvement Credit Plan
of the Federal Hausing Administration,
with many thousands of dollars in
such small installment notes finding
their way into business and employ
ment channels in varying amounts.

FILIBUSTER LAYS BARE TORY
FEAR OF NEGRO PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. (CNA)-Vio-
Iently Illuminating against the Anti
Lynching Bill, Senator Allen ]. Ellen
der of Louisiana laid bare before the
Senate this week the fear and hatred
of the unreconstructed Bourbon South
for the Negro people with his shouted
declaration:
"The quicker the Negro people of this
nation realize, or be made to realize,
that the white man is his superior, |
say, the better off he will be-"
In the early stage of his six-day fill
buster against the measure, the Louisi-
ana Senator asserted that passage of
the bill would be an entering wedge
for the winning of political equality.
He bitterly assailed Negro organiza-
tions in the North as responsible for
state laws granting Negroes ~-eivii
rights, and for the campaign to enact
anti-iynching legislation.
II am convinced that political equal
ity will lead to social equality and
social equality will lead to the decay
of our civilization" he shouted.
"I'd vote today to repeal the Fif-
/, teenth Amendment (giving Negroes
| the right to vote)," he continued. Il
| don't want to see any Negro Senators
sitting in this Senate / don't want to
see any Negro Governors.
That his slanders of the race seemed
to have had effect on Senate reaction
aries of both parties appeared when
Senator Gillette OF Iowa announced
that several Western Senator'S had in
dicated their willingness to report the
measure back to committee.
Senator McKeller Cd. Tenn.,) cyni-
cally offered in the form of substi-
tute for the pending anti-lynching bill
concurrent resolution congratulating
Southern law officers "on their efforts
to prevent lynching.'
Republican Senators aided the tilf-
busters by opposing any attempt to
shut off the filibuster. Senator Nc
Nary (R Ore.,) said that the Republi-
cans would not vote for cloturc (de-
bate limitation). Southern Senators,
cheered by the Republican stand, as
serted that there now was no chance
the bills sponsors could muster the
necessary two-thirds vote to impose
cloture.
The Senate obviously is getting tired
of the filibuster. and there were indi-
cations that the Southerners might sue
ceed in shelving the bill, unless there
was sufficient pressure on the Senate
from progressive forces throughout
the nation.

STUDENTS HIT STEREOTYPES
IN MOVIES
GREENSBORO, N: C., Jan: (CNA)

More than 1000 students of Bennett
and A. & T. colleges in Greensboro
have joined a boycott movement
against white theatre owners that have
gone on record opposing the appear
ance of Negroes in movies "out oi
character.
On December 7, a convention ol
"The Theatre Owners of North and
South Carolina, Inc passed fesolu-
tioh that said in part:
Resolved: That the convention goes
on record In disappointing the appear
afice of Negroes in scenes with white
people on aii equal social basis
The Bennett College Chapter, Amer
icaf Students Union, answered this
resolution with a resolution of their
own calling for boycott of all movie
houses affiliated with the association.
The movement has spread and unit
ed boycott committee has been formed
involving student groups at several
colleges and local organizations repre-
sentin over 1000 people.
A.S,U. chapters at Duke, Chapel
Hill and Shaw University have joined
the movement and are helping to make
the boycott statewide.
The Post, local paper, has refused
to carry ads of the movie houses that
are members of the association. Lead
ers of the boycott movement have ex-
pressed determination to continue the
boycott until the theatre owners with
draw the oppositions to the appearance
of Negroes on the screen in any but
the traditional stereotypes.
