before they leave the factory. The
entrance door has a two-harmony
note signal, with an added single
note to be used for the back door.
All the styles are designed with
simplicity as their keynote. The
Colonial type has an American eagle
and Colonial star in the center of
the case, which is finished in brass
and light ivory, with the tube of
FURNISHED brass, lacquered. For more
formal interiors the Patrician model
is made with an oyster-white fin
ished case and Tyre design in
silver. The Ironhart, meant for
Italian, Spanish, Tudor and French
provincial schemes, is done in two
toned forged iron effect with an
embossed steel and black crest on an
antique burgundy ground, and the
tubular chimes, of course, are oxi-
died steel. The Moderne is made
with a blue-tinted mirror set in the
center of an oyster white case, with
a chromium star and chrome tubes.
The designs are the same on the
Junior models, which have no hang
ing tubes. Prices range from $3.50
for juniors to from $3.50 to $40 for
the tubular chimes.

istence these days, designing things
so that they will harmonize with
various types of architecture and
interior decoration. The trend even
has carried over into that ultra
modern piece of equipment, door
chimes.
Everybody knows how popular the
harmonious chime announcer is.
But now you can get door chimes to
suit your house. There are four
models available in a new line we
have been investigating-one to go
with Colonial interiors; one for
Georgian, Empire and Directoire:
another for Spanish, Tudor, italian
and French provincial styles, and a
fourth for modern interiors. All the
styles are made in two models:
One with hanging, tubular chimes
for medium and larger-sized homes,
the other with concealed xylophone
bars instead of the tubular chimes,
for use in smaller homes.
The chimes are installed like reg
ular doorbells. The junior model,
for smaller homes, operates from
any good doorbell transformer, while
a special transformer is included
with each tubular chime. The chimes
are fully insulated, cannot be
grounded with metal lath, and the
tubes and bars are all tone-tested

Bill 10 Extend F. H. A.
Wins Wide SUPPORT

Wide support for the Bankhead-
steagall bill to extend the National
Housing Act, creating the F. H. A.,
is reported by the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards, which
asks for continuation of the F. H. A.
legislation as constructive action on
behalf of home owners and as a
stabilizing factor for the whole giant
construction industry.
Stoppage of mortgage insurance
on existing buildings, which faces us
unless Congress acts to extend the
law, would endanger the very favor
able advance now taking place in
home construction, since construc-
ton or purchase of new homes is
very frequently dependent on sale
OF the home the family is now oc-

by operative builders is dependent
upon maintenance of healthy con-
ditions in the general home market.

Many persons who have been
wanting to get new electric water
heater have hesitated, not knowing
where they would put one. Space is
always at premium in the kitchen
and even in the basement. There
fore, it is good to know about the
new two-gallon, non-pressure auto
matte heater which can be mounted
over the sink or washbasin without
getting in the way.
This heater. which may be pinned
up over your sink or on side wall,
is easy to install. Brackets welded
at the top and bottom hold the
unit firmly in place. while a 6-foot
rubberized cord at the back of the
rectangular shaped heater is at

When you mention a shower rod
Immediately picture of cleaning
chromium comes to mind. something
new and modern-for showers are
comparatively modern and their
"fixings" are in keeping with their
youth.
With closet rods it's something
different. Closet rods in most homes
might be anything from a hand
made four-sided bar to a bamboo
pole. But have you ever thought of
using shower rods for your closets?
This is an ideas worth investi-
eating, for there is no reason why
the bathroom should have a mo-
nopoly of the nice, new. cleaning
bars, when the same bars will serve
just as efficiently in a closet. Being
metal, they are strong, being
chromium, they are clean and easy
to keep bright.
The rod which we have in mind
gives a modern touch to a clothes
closets appearance and added con-
venience for the user of the closet.
That's because the rod comes with
a concealed track inside it, from
which hooks hang down and slide
easily from one end to the other.
You just affix your clothes hanger
to the hook instead of the shower
curtain, and there is the same ease
in getting at your clothes as in
pushing back the curtains after a
shower. No more trouble with
hangers that stick on the wooden
bar. You just push the garments to
one side or the other until you find
the dress or the suit you want.
These shoWer-curtain rods for
closets are the same as those used
over bathtubs. only, of course, you
use straight rod for the closets,
same as you'd use for a recessed
tub. They also come with snap-in
arrangements to make a. rounded
corner for corner tubs. Of course.
The rods are furnished in octag-
onal and round shapes, both having
the recessed track. They range in
size from feet to 512. but can be
cut down to fit your closet exactly.
They cost, complete with hooks,

Mcdonald Praises
Accomplishments
OFF. H. A.
Says Improved Housing
Has Been Provided
For J, 100000

Improved housing for more than
100000 persons has been provided
under the Federal Housing Admin
istration program, Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald estimated today.
Mr.. Mcdonald said that more than
100000 people are now living in
houses which have been modernized
and repaired as a result of credit
insurance granted by the F. H. A.
on 1,875,000 property improvement
loans. These loans also have been
used to improve more than 100000
farms, business and institutional
properties through alterations and
modernization.
In addition. Mr.. Mcdonald said,
nearly 100000 people are living in
homes financed under the Mutual
Mortgage Insurance System. Ap-
proximately $4,000 small home
mortgages have been insured, and
the proceeds of these loans have
been used to build homes or to
finance the purchase of better dwell
lings. and in some cases to tighten
the debt burden upon homes already
owned.
Another $4,000 or more people are
now living in large scale rental
housing developments financed with
mortgages insured by the F. H. A.,
and dwelling quarters for an addi-
tional $4,000 are being provided in
projects now under construction.
Has Created Work.
In addition to improving living
standards and making home owner
ship easier and more secure, the
Federal Housing Administrators
credit insuring activities in the past
four and one-half years have created
employment for millions of workers,
Mr.. Mcdonald said, and have re-
duced the burden on the public
treasury for relief
Gall this has been accomplished
by constructive use of private
credit" he said, "and thereby has
put men, money and organizations
to work in producing the better
housing that the American people
so urgently need"
In 1888 alone, about 35O,O00 family
dwelling units. exclusive of farm
homes. were constructed, the largest
number since 1929.
100000 One-Family Houses.
OF this number, about 100000
were one-family houses. about 10
per cent more than in 1887 and ap-
proximately 80 per cent as many as
in 1929. The administrator attri-
buted this increase in residential
building in large measure to the
stimulating effects of the Federal
Housing Administrations operations
under the National Housing Act as
Iberalized in February, 1938 =
The quarters provided by the
years new construction were more
than sufficient to house a years in
crease in population, or about 100000
to 100000 persons, Mr.. Mcdonald
said, as well as to replace houses de-
stroyed ana torn down.
THE years volume of residential
building was impressive" he said,
''in view of the decline in new build
ing that had taken place during the
late spring of 1887. accentuated by
the sharp slump in business and
employment during the late months
of 1887. Especially notable was the
fact that new home building moved
sharply upward in March and April,
thus preceding the improvement
that took place later in general busi-
ness. employment and personal in
comes"

Jewish Lay Leaders
Form Association
For Education
Mark Eisner Of New York
Heads Group to Unite
Efforts in Schools
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May g.
A hundred lay leaders of Jewish
education from the larger cities OF
the United States met here yester-
day and formed an organization to
be known as the American Associa-
tion for Jewish Education.
Mark Eisner, a New York law
yer who is vice president of that
city's Jewish education association,
was elected president of the new
national group. Judge Louis E
Levinthal of Philadelphia, Charles
E. Rosenbloom of Pittsburgh and
Nathan Friedman of Boston were
chosen vice presidents; Israel S.
Chipkin OF New York, secretary;
Bernard Semel of New York, hon.
orary secretary, and Harry H. Liebo-
vitz of New York, treasurer.
The purpose of the new organiza-
ton, Judge Levinthal said, was to
"tie together all those who carry the
responsibilities of lay leadership for
Jewish schools, where the young are
instructed in the hallowed tradi-
tions, customs and ideals OF our
people, in the Hebrew language and
in our long history and vast litera-
ture"
To-day" he said, Jewish educa-
ton has a larger claim than ever
upon the resources of our communi-
ties. To formulate this claim, to
present 1t in an adequate light-to
fight for it If need be-we must
unite the lay leadership of Jewish
education in America. ''' The
association will guide and
strengthen us in our united fight in
behalf of a Jewish education for
every Jewish child"

ecutive Committee include Michael
Stavitsky of Newark. Joseph Kohn

heimer of Baltimore. Judge Jonah

fugitive from Texas prison was dis

today.
Friends and neighbors of Robert
Dreher, 40, came with him from
Schuylkill Haven to join his appeal
against return to Texas to complete
a 17-year term for robbery which
flight cut short in 1922 after Dreher
had served four years.
Mr.. Reno decided to hear the case
personally. Gov. Arthur H. James,
while expressing sympathy for Dre-
her, said he probably would sign the
extradition papers if Mr.. Reno rec
commended the action.
Dreher'S arrest on a charge of
overlooking his coal truck resulted
in disclosing his prison record.
