The secret of the seeming magic

Realtors 10 Confer
On JobIess Tax
By the Associated Press,

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 11.-A
special committee of Virginia real
tors will confer with the State
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission in Richmond November 20
to discuss the liability of real estate
statesmen for the tax under the I'm
employment Act.
Plans for the meeting, arranged
by Alfred L. Blake, president of the
Richmond Real Estate Exchange
and chairman of the committee,
were announced at the association s
executive Offices here today.
The realtors contend that real
estate statesmen generally work on
a strictly commission basis. In view
of this the realtors point out there
is very little probability that real
estate salesman could benefit from
the working of the act although at
the present time he is called upon
to defray his relative proportion Of
the cost.

ference. in addition to Mr.. Blake, in

The slip-and-s days of winter
are almost with us, and as the Their

about fighting our annual battle
with ice that forms on steps, walks
and driveways around the home
Here's hint to help you remove
ice without chopping, hacking and
digging and to save yourself bis
tered hands or aching backs at the
same time. Get bag of calcium
chloride to spread on icy surfaces. It
goes into solution in the ice within a
few minutes, softens the ice so you
can remove it easily. Or, mixed with
seven to ten parts of sand or Gin
ders, depending upon how cold the
weather is, it will skidproof the sur
face so you need not remove the ice
in order to protect life and limb.
Such a simple aid to home main
tenance, it is surprising that more
persons do not know about it. The

chips of chalk, are applied evenly

Why do you paint your house, in
side or out? You think it is because
you like color, no doubt. Actually,
the chief reason any one uses paint
Is to cover surface spots and stains
which cannot be removed easily.
This being the case, why not use
paint particularly designed to hide
stains made by lubricating oil, creo-
sote, asphalt, tar, chemical salts,
sap, sugar, pitch, old grease, bleed
ing reds, used brick or hot plaster?
These unsightly stains can be hid
den by the use of a stain-covering
paint. It is white, fiat, ready-mixed
paint, which acts as finished coat
itself or as an undercoat for gloss
paint. It is quick drying and easily
applied.

Bill 10 Bring Clerks
Into Civil Service
Hit by Reform League
Fear Expressed Measure
Would Be Used to Get
Into Responsible Posts

A bill to permit congressional
clerks to be covered into permanent
positions in the classified civil serv-
Ice was described as bad in prin-
ciple and as a precedent, and its
defeat was urged in a letter sent
to Senate leaders yesterday by the
Civil Service Reform League.
The bill, sponsored by Senator
Townsend, Republican, Of Delaware
has been reported by the Senate
Civil Service Committee.
The Reform League letter, signed
by H. Eliot Kaplan, executive sec
retary, said the bill is vague as to
what positions might be thrown
open to this class of appointees, but
expressed fear that pressure would
be brought ito insure their ap-
pointment to many of the better
paid and more responsible posts,
which properly should be filled by
promotion from within the service"
1--WE have in the past condoned
the covering into the classified serv-
ice of incumbents of unclassified
positions" the league stated, be
cause the net result is to take such
positions out of the patronage cate
CORY and insure that thereafter they
will be filled through competitive
test. This bill, however, affects
merely the incumbents of unclassi-
fled positions, leaving the positions
themselves again to be filled by the
personal appointees of members Of

Use Of " Woodshop
Offered Boys for
Building Racers
All Entrants Who
Have No Facilities
Are Extended Welcome

Use Of the Y. M. G. A. woodshop
was offered today by Leonard w.
De Cast, general secretary of the
"Y," to boys in The 6tar-American
Legion Soap Box Derby who do not
have the benefit of high school
manual training facilities.
Mr.. De Cast, one of the group of
prominent citizens sponsoring anna
teur coaster racing contest for boys,
cited the fact that many boys who
attend grade schools and private
schools have no shop in which to
work on their racers.
'The Y. M. G. A. woodshop (l736
G street N.W0 is now open," Mr..
De Cast said, "and boys who wish
to use the tools and equipment to
cut out and machine the parts for
their soap box racers may have the
privilege by telephoning the boys
department and making necessary
arrangements. Not just " men,
bers, but every boy who needs 1t,
is welcome.
Instructor at Hand.
"An instructor will be in charge
to supervise the boys" Mr.. De Cast
continued, "and to determine what
machinery they are qualified to use.
We believe in the Soap Box Derby
here at the 'Y,' because it is a fine
project that stimulates the initiative
in boys and teaches them to build
and to create. There is lot of fun
and recreation in the Derby, and q
lot of fine prizes for the boys to seek"

1t seems like a sort of paradox to
try to cool your house with warm
water, doesn't it? Nevertheless that
is just what is being done by a new
type of air conditioner now avail
able to home modernizers. If you
are planning to combat the ravages
OF summer heat with a supply of
man-made weather you will prob
ably be surprised to know that this
new device uses your ordinary water
supply to accomplish it's purpose,
together with some inexpensive
chemicals, and does an excellent
job of it.
This type of air conditioning is
not an entirely new idea, since it
has been used in industrial plants
and even large buildings with great
success, but it is only recently that
an inexpensive unit has been avail
able for home use The unit is
compact for the work it does, since
it is only 80 inches long, SO inches
high and % inches wide.
AS you all know, one of the pri-
mary reasons for having air con-

Careful selection of built-in equip
ment will add considerably to the
comfort of the family and the eff
cheney of home, to say nothing of
resale value.
A useful but not costly feature Of
this type is package receiver.
This contrivance is installed in the
wall of the kitchen and has self
locking door which opens outside
and is insulated and ventilated.
A laundry chute is another help
full built-in device, particularly for
homes with basement laundries and
second-foor sleeping quarters.
These are installed in the walls
and have vertical shafts which per-
NIT soiled clothes and linen to be
dropped directly to the laundry.
Another worthwhile item in any
home is an incinerator. Any ar
chitect or builder can provide an
idea of the costs and appropriate
ness of such installations.
Few rooms have too many out
lets for lighting and electrical ap-
planes. The well-ighted room
should have at least one outlet
for every member of the family who
may want to read. play games or
sew in the evening. Electric con-

appliances should be provided as a
matter of course.

is removed by q chemical similar
to ordinary salt. Thus by first
cooling the air from the house with
water which may be as high as
81 degrees, then passing it through
the drying chemicals, you have a
supply Of artificial weather which
should be ideally comfortable.
The chemical which does this re-
markable job so handily is stored
in the apparatus, and about a ton
of it is used in the course of a
summer season. If you have a
supply Of well water handy it will
work in very nicely on this unit, or
you can use ordinary water from
the regular mains. These two con-
stituents, with a supply of electric
power to operate the system, are
all that you need to manufacture
true air conditioning for the entire
house.
We would like to mention a new
type Of wall paneling which makes
the business of room decoration or
partitioning simple and pleasant
task.
Nearly every one likes the effect of
wood paneling, but the cost of in
stalling natural wood is sometimes
bit higher than the average budget
can stand. Hence, this new material
should fill long felt want since it
makes use of face veneers of
matched hardwoods bonded to a
fiber board backing. thereby lower
ing the cost.
II you are a bit of a handy man
about your house you will find this
wall paneling easy to work, and un-
complicated to install. In fact. it
can be shaped with ordinary wood
working tools, and is so made that
1t can be bent to fit in curved hooks
and other interesting ARRANGEMENTS.
You have wide variety of wood
