Does your laundry need painting?
Have you been wondering what sort
of paint to use over the surface
of a room which is habitually eX-
posed to vapor and dampness from
the family washday? Here's the
answer, seemingly ready-made for
this particular problem.
It's an enamel which comes in
different colors and can be applied
over damp or even soaked
surfaces. Its high gloss and hard
surface that can be wiped off with
damp cloth or washed with soap
and water is just what you want
in an untitled laundry, kitchen or
bathroom.
If your thoughts have turned
toward the water-ocean, lake or
river-this enamel naturally sug-
gests itself for many uses in a boat
or seashore cottage. You can apply
it to wall on which water has COL
lected. 1t dries dust-free in an
hour; in four hours it can be touched
gingerly, without i'll effects; after
II hours you can lear against it
safely.
AS a rule one coat is enough to
cover the surface. for the texture Of
this paint is thick, giving it a great
deal of hiding power. Non-yelloW-
ing and easy to handle, it retains
its color even when exposed to SUM-
light and saltwater spray; in fact,
its makers declare it is excellent
insurance against corrosive gases in
oil, coal and sulphur regions where
many finishes break down.
The makers have gone to great
lengths to test their product. In
tereStlng experiments were made in
painting panels with actual mois-
ture on them, and putting these
panels out in the weather for 3l2
years thereafter, to see what hap
pened. Even after 40 months the
paint remained tough and elastic.
And when painted again no prepa-
ration of the surface was needed
just another coat of enamel had
to be brushed on.
One gallon of this new enamel
covers $50 square feet of cement,
brick or porous surfaces, $50 square
feet of wood or metal. 1t costs
about IS cents pint, Sl50 a quart,
S5.25 gallon. If you have a mois-
ture and painting problem, why not
investigate?
"Buzzzzzzz-' around your ears,
or a sudden smarting sensation on
your ankle or your arm, and prob
ably you say: 'Drat that fly!" But
we wonder how often you realize
you are taking the name of that
pestiferous insect in vain? For all
is not fly that buzzes and bites
no, nor mosquito, either. There are
gnats.
Your house may be we'll screened
and yet permit the entry of gnats,
especially in early summer. That's
because many fine-meshed screens
are not fine enough to keep out
this miniature creature. For pro-
lection against it you need the finest
mesh made.
There is a 24inch mesh screen
available in bright copper and bright
or antique bronze. which can be
ordered for from IA to 26 cents a
square foot from your local car
penter or hardware store, who, if
it isn't in stock. will get it for you
in short order. Prices vary, depend
ing upon whether you want just a
little or enough to screen your whole
house. It's much finer than stand
ard screen cloth of ID, 16 and 18
mesh, necessary only if gnats are
a problem. But it does the trick,
we are assured

City Home Building
Held Increasing
Over Last Year
Home Loan Bank Board
Finds Construction
One bird Greater

SnS uIIO StGutcI
During May nearly one-third more
urban homes were being built than
IN April and twice as many as in
the comparable month last year,
officials of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board announced today.
A survey by the boards division
of research and statistics also
showed that in the first five months
of 1889 total residential construc-
ton exceeded by nearly one third
that for the like period of 1898.
The boards study, based upon an
analysis of building permits reported
to the United States Department
of Labor, brought out the following
developments in home building:
l. In May, 1899, construction of
30,084 homes was started or prof.
ected in cities of 10000 or more
population, as against 81 1,442 homes
in April and 5.297 in May, 1898. The
total cost of the homes was s1O9.-
566o00 in May, 1899; S77,774. 500 in
April and $56,875, 100 in MAY, 1888.
2. Residential units started in the
first five month of this year num-
bered 1925, valued at $419, 100,
compared with 80,878 valued at
S285 ,062 400 in January-May. 1898.
Gains Are Significant.
Board officials concluded that
these substantial monthly and sea-
sonal gains are significant evidence
that the upswing in residential con-
struction is continuing to move
ahead with many other business
barometers. They pointed out. how
ever, that construction is still ma
terially short of meeting estimated
needs.
All II regional districts of the
Federal Home Loan Bank System
shared in the increase this May, as
compared with the similar 1898
month. On percentage evaluation,
the Cincinnati district, which in
cludes Kentucky, Ohio and Tennes-
see, was in the forefront, with 4.193
homes started in May, 1899, in con-
trast to 779 in May, 1888. The Pitts
burgh district of Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Delaware were second.
having 1884 homes in May, 1899, and
6l9 in May, 1888.
Figures For Districts.
Figures for the other 10 districts
with May, 1899, being listed first in
each case, follow:
Boston, 1851 and 1923; New York.
4.465 and 1882; Winston Salem, 1921
and 2,043; indianapolis, 2.O32 and
1,040; Chicago, 11O3 and 594; Des
Moines, 1928 and 718: Little Rock.
3,643 and 1884 Topeka, 1877 and
45l; Portland, 694 and 583, and Los
Angeles, 4,008 and 3,211
Construction costs for standard
house declined slightly during May
from April and May, 1898. Using
1886 as base for a norm of 100. the
board index of residential construc-
ton costs stood at 1856 for Nav.
1889, as against 1859 for April and
1869 in May. 1898. Most of the de-
crease was due to drop in costs of
materials, which fell 2 per cent
during the II months.
The index of residential building
activity, based on a norm of 100 for
1926, stood at 48 for May of this
year. an increase of 65.5 per cent
over % for May, 1888, and of 1919
per cent over 343 for April, 1899.

make your summer curtaining en-
deavors the basis for next autumn's
hanging of draperies and curtains.
The new drapery extending rods, we
have found, give adequate support
for the light, airy curtains of sum-
mer, and at the same time look
ahead to the hanging of your fall
draperies. These rods have extern
sion pieces which 60 beyond the
window frame, from which you can
hang drapes without hiding any of
the window.
Many persons, particularly of the
modernist school, object to a heavy
drape obscuring some of the light
from a narrow window. To provide
for draperies at the side of the win
dow, enlarging its appearance, it has
been customary to attach rod brack-
cts to wood blocks fastened at the
sides of the window frames on the
wall. No need now to 60 to all that
trouble. The rods we have in mind
extend beyond the window frame as
much as l8 to % inches in the small
size, 48 to Sc inches in the large.
They come in pairs, one for each side
of the window, or in single rods for
the entire window. You can hang
your summer curtains on them like
airy gauze draperies and dispense
with face curtains entirely or you
can use face curtains and put linen
or chintZ draperies on the extension
rods until winter comes and they
are replaced with heavier drapes.
The rods are installed on the ton
window casing by adjustable stirrup
brackets. They fit into these, and
metal spring clips keep them from
twisting. Then pull the ends out
the desired length-and there you
are! If you want to dispense with
curtains entirely for the summer,
just press up on the spring clips be-
hind the rod with screWdriver,
and the rod will come out easily,
leaving only small. unobtrusive
brackets to show there were curtain
rods there at all.
The rod itself has little slides in
side it, in which you fasten your
curtain rings so you can move the
curtain at will. Thus you can have
a fully curtained partially curtained
or merely draped window at the flip
of a finger.
They're not expensive. For 80
cents to s140 you can get the single
rods, and for SIPS to s1.45 a pair
the double ones. In either case the
distance the rod extends beyond
the window frame depends on the
location of the brackets on the
casing.

Columbia University Gets Letters
On 18th Century Coed Move

Frederick A. P. Barnard, president
of the university from 1864 to 1889,
and few others favored their ad-
mittance. In 1888 it was agreed that
women could do work in the uni
versity, but would be barred from
lectures, taking their examinations,
usually based in part on the lee
lures, at the end of the year. Their
only connection with actual class
work was doing assigned reading.
Only about five or six women
ever received a Columbia degree
designated as the degree of bach
elor Of humanities-through COM
pleting such course of study, it is
stated. During the nineties women
were finally given equal scholastic
status. In the meantime. DR..
Barnard had established a separate
school for women in 1889, known as
Barnard College.

With the convening Of Congress
the eyes Of the country have turned
toward Washington as the seat Of
the National Government.
Today Washington is firmly es-
tablished In the minds of the Ameri-
can people as the Capital City. So,
too, is their conception of the White
House as the ofiicial residence Of the
Chief Executive.
Few realize that 1t was not until
1900 that the Capital Of the United
States was ofiicially moved to the
banks Of the Potomac Or that our
first President, George Washington,
with his devoted hosnsmaking
Martha, never lived in tia White

from 1859 to 1877. their ofYicial home
was located In New York City and
later in Philadelphia.
When Gen. Washington was
chosen for the presidency 1t was
decided by the Congress Of the
United States that his official domi-
cile should be in New York City,
where the administration of the

and existing only because Of his
ability to write poems, recite them
and sell them for s cents apiece.
Two years ago he wandered to the
Chevy Chase Junior College and
asked to recite some Of his works to
the students. His romantic and
amusing poems 80 interested his au-
dience that he came back again
Thursday and was the guest Of
honor during the daily chapel period.
After the program he stayed long
enough to supply the demands Of
the girls who wished to purchase
his poems, but when one Of the stu
dents attempted to get an interview
from him he left hurriedly.
Scott values friendship above all
else, he claimed during the pro-
gram, and he emphasized the value
that he has received from the many
friendships that he has made all
over the world. He also believes, he
said. In giving credit and compl-
ments where they are due.
Most Of his poems are dedicated
to people that he has known, seen
or heard a great deal Of. One Of
them, "Our Friend, Edward" is
dedicated to the Duke of Windsor
and commends him for the decision
he made. Other poems praise his
mother and young women he has
known. On the lighter side are his
poems dedicated to golf widows
and to men who are fond of fishing
and one ridiculing the overfed,
underdressed women Of society.
