Home Building
In Middle Atlantic
States Gains
Dodge Reports Show
Failure of War to
Depress Activity

The first month Of the war
brought no indication of curtail-
ment in residential building
throughout the Middle Atlantic
States. The latest summary pre-
pared by J. T. Little, the district
manager of Dodge Reports, revealed
that the September contracts for
residential work and materials
moved to the fourth highest level
of the year and continued the strong
1889 advance over the preceding
five years.
All residential building contracted
for throughout Eastern Pennsyl-
vania, Southern New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland. the District of Co.
lumbia and Virginia during Septem.
ber had work and materials val
uation of $16,988OOO. The months
of March, with $19,442, 900; May,
SIS, 1854 900, and August, $17,669 900,
have passed that point so far in
1899. The lowest valuation recorded
for any month of the year was $11,-
100000 in July.
The record for residential building
in the Middle Atlantic States has
rocketed this year, with a nine
month total of $141, ,783,0O0
To emphasize the favorable posi-
ton Of residential building. Mr. Little
compares the present total with the
corresponding nine-month totals of
the preceding five years. At the
depression low point, 1884, the con-
tract valuation was $29,529, 900. In
the following year the nine month
total jumped to $50, ,589 900. An even
larger gain was recorded in 1896,
with a September 30 total of $685.
305,000. In the next year another
substantial gain was established,

ing Is evident when you consider the
business of repainting your bath
room walls. With these removable
brackets it is merely necessary to
take them off when the painters
heave into sight, then replace them
after the walls have been decorated.
II you want to use other units of
this same type you can also obtain
such devices as towel bars and bath
robs hooks, and if you happen to
want to mount them on something
other than plaster walls there Is
also a special, patented, concealed
fitting for use on tile of all sorts,
or even glass.

The average home is usually pretty
lacking in facilities for reaching
above arms length, isn't it? Untold
accidents are caused every year by
inadequate ladders, or the use Of
unsteady chairs, piano stools, and
other lethal devices which slip out
from under the user just when valu-
able dishes have been filched from
a high shelf.
We saw a fine, sturdy aluminium
ladder the other day which should
help do away with the precarious
business of box climbing or rocking
chair teetering. 1t is a compact
sort of device weighing only 5k
pounds, and will support even the
most beefy of climbers. Because it
is made of rugged aluminium sections,
it is Of course not affected by such
things as boiling water and other
damaging influences used In clean
ing the household.
The ladder provides a platform
about by IL inches in size for am
pie standing room, and both the
steps and the platform have been
nicely corrugated to keep you from
slipping off and breaking the neck.
Its various parts are riveted together
to impart strength and rigidity. and
while 1t costs a bit more than the
average wooden contrivance it
should outlast that type of device
by many year.

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.


Have you been nankering to fix
up an attractive game room in the
basement of your home. or possibly
redecorate a small room into a den
or study for the master of the house?
In recent years an almost bewilder-
ing number of decorative wall fin
ishes have made their appearance
on the market, and many smart
home modernizers are using them to
obtain handsome decorative effects
at minimum of cost. These wall
and ceiling finishes are in the form
of wallboards. fberboards, laminated
plastics, flexible woods and many
other materials, and run the gamut
from highly modernistic solid color
designs to more conventional repro
ductions of wood paneling.
The problem of applying these
wall finishes has been bit of a
stickler in many cases because of
the type of wall materials being COW
cred. Obviously it requires special
type of adhesive to hold large pieces
of wood paneling to smooth plaster
or gypsum lathe, and unless secure
bond is obtained between wall and
panel the installation is apt to fail
very early in life. Hence, to insure
sound job regardless of the diff
flcult conditions encountered in so
many homes, it was necessary to de-
velop a new adhesive with unique
holding properties.
This new adhesive, which is now
available for use in the home, is
easily worked and because of its oil
base remains plastic and waterproof
indefinitely. 1t is also made so that
its so-called longitudinal shrinkage
has been reduced to minimum,
thereby insuring a smooth, long
lasting bond.
BY using an adhesive of this type
you can therefore cover the un-
slightly walls of your cellar with
knotty pine panels of wallboard or
some other handsome wood, and be
sure that 1t is going to remain in
place without bulging, loosening or
falling of because of heat or moist
ure.
If your bathroom is suffering for
lack of shelf space for toilet ar
ticles and kindred items, you will
welcome new, easily installed glass
and chromium arrangement which
can be put up by even the most
bungling of home mechanics. It is
so designed as to automatically
cover up any slips which might be
made in putting it in place, and pre-
sents most handsome appearance
with its lustrous metal supports and
shiny glass shelving.
One of a number of accessories
of the same general design, this new
shelf has clever system of mount
ing the brackets on the wall You
first screw mounting plate onto
the plaster wall, then you merely
have to slide the chromium plated
metal bracket over this disk and fix
it in place with only one screw ex-
posed.

quarter.
The unquestionable superiority of
the residential building industry's
position in the Middle Atlantic
States this year is we'll illustrated

nine months, Dodge Reports con-
cludes.

Regency Room CoIors

For the best effect in room fur
nished with English regency pieces,
paint the walls some decorative color
such as predominated when this fur
niture was originally introduced.
There. is a wide range of colors to
choose from, including lemon, buff,
gold, cream, light green, Chinese

Making EqqsheII Paint

A satisfactory method of pro-
ducing an eggshell-colored paint is
to add small quantity of yellow
ochre and of raw umber to white.
Take care in adding the colored
paint, mixing it well and trying it
often on piece of board to make
sure you are approaching the color
intended.

ADM |N|STRAT|ON
OF RELIEF IS
HIGH IN WAYNE

The annual report of George T..
Granger, state relief administrator, is
sued a few days ago, reveals that in
Wayne c0uaty the cost Of administra-
lion is nearly three times as high as
the average in all the other counties of
the state.
During the year 1887 So the cost OF
administration in Wayne county was
IL per cent Of total expenditures. while
in Outstate counties the administration
cost is only per cent Of the total.
In the matter Of relief salaries paid
employees the cost is over 80 per cent
higher in Wayne than the average in
all other counties $140.2S monthly in
Wayne, 1885 in other counties.
With the exception of agricultural
counties, Wayne had the smallest per-
centage of population on relief-15
per cent--while other industrial cOun-
ties averaged 1875 per cent.
Wayne paid s., 22233 ,3O5 Of local taxes
for relief, against the federal govern
ment and states contribution of &c.
S12,O3S.
Granger estimates the emplOyab
at 81 per cent of the SO, las cases re-
ceiving emergency relief between Aug
ust, 1898, and March, 1889, in addi-
ton TO the 135, 900 to 100000 who have
had WPA employment.

WYANDOTTES
CREWS WON
SUNDAY RACES

A successful effort was made last
Sunday to revive interest in the De-
trOlt river Oarsmen championship, alb
andOned some seasons ago.
Three Detroit river clubs sent crews
TO the regatta. They were the Detroit
Boat club, EcOrse Boat club, recently
organized, and the Wyandotte Boat
club.
This city sent crews to participate
in the three leading contests of the
day-145-pound fOurs, lightweight
Fights. and heavyweight Fights All
three crews won their races.
And what was left of the program,
with single exception, was won by
EcOrse crews pulling against Detroit
iii events where WyandOtte was not
represented.
frank Van Der Kar, of the Detroit
Boat club. won the singles, with Louis
Tank of EcOrse second. and Phil
Stearn of Detroit third.
1t was most decidedly a down river
show, and lends cheerful aspect to
WyandOtte chances in later regattas of
the season.
1t was particularly happy day for
Coach jim Rice of the WyandOttes
Let out as coach by Detroit while
ago, Rice came TO WyandOtte this
spring and showed what he could do
when he had bunch of real athletes
TO work with. His former pupils up
