Increase in Building
Costs in 1941 Forecast

Building costs will be higher in
1941. according to Benedict Farrar
of st. Louis, director of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects for the
Central States district, who warns
against delay in carrying out nor
NAL private building projects.
so far, lumber seems to be the
only material which has risen in
price, Mr.. Farrar reports. 1T is
rather difficult to secure lumber
in large quantity or in kinds and
sizes not ordinarily carried in stock
That other materials will eventually
be affected in the same way goes
without Saying. 1t is Just a ques-
ton of whether this will occur six
months or a year hence.
Therefore, it seems logical to ad-
vance the theory that the cost of
building will be distinctly higher by
next summer than it is today and
that those who contemplate erecting
residences, churches, schools and
other private and institutional
structures will do we'll to make
their commitments at the earliest
possible date

Home Building Increases
f'yht|y in Capital Area

The Washington Metropolitan
Area entered the closing quarter OF
the year with a l per cent increase
over the residential building valua-
ton at the same point of 1899.
E. H. Keefe. the Washington sales
manager of Dodge Reports, divi-
sion of F. w. Dodge Corp, briefly
summarized the improved residential
building situation yesterday
Residential building topped last
years records in four of the first
nine months, Dodge Reports con-
tinues.
Throughout the 81 States east of
the Rocky Mountains. September
residential building continued the
high level reached in August, the
highest total since July, 1929. Sep
TENDERS valuation was within l per
cent of August's.
September non-residential build
ing in the 81 States area was % per
cent better than it was in that
month Of 1889. Manufacturing
buildings, generally in the defense
program. were most active, but COM
merclal buildings were most prom
inent in the contracts for non-
residential building
The summary concludes by noting

New Window Ventilation.

II you had the idea of buying a
window ventilator. but somehow
never got around to it during the
summer, don't think you have to
wait until next summer to enjoy
the benefits of fresh. filtered air in
your office or bedroom. Window
ventilators are almost as much of
a blessing during the winter as
summer. For, when you have to
keep your windows closed much of
the time. stale, stagnant and even
smoky air is as unpleasant as the
oppressive heat of August
1t was probably realization of this
that led the makers of new ven-
tilator to introduce their product
this fall. 1t is a small, compact unit
"a inches wide, 1912 inches high and
1872 inches deep. finished in walnut
color, or for S. additional-in ivory.
The alternating current model sells
for just under $50, the direct-current
model for just under $50.
The ventilator filters outside air,
removing dust. dirt and pollen, then
mixes the fresh air with filtered air
from the inside of the house and
circulates the mixture throughout
the room. BY fltering and re-
circulating some of the indoor air
the room temperature is not brought
too low. Some of the used air is eX-
hausted through the ventilator regu-
larly as fresh air come in.
An added advantage of a window
ventilator. of course, is the way it
reduces outside noises. Perhaps you
have noticed how much quieter Your

to the under side of the beams.
Where the basement walls are
rough and uneven, they may be
smoothed and painted. Wood nail
ing strips should be applied over
the walls when plaster, wood or
wallboard is used as the wall cover
ing.
A good floor paint or floor en-
amel can be used when the cement
floor is we'll constructed and is per-
manently dry. Before paint is ap-
piled. the floor should be cleaned
and oil and grease stains removed.

Dampness Outlaws LinOleum.
Some home owners may be salts

of wax, we'll rubbed in, although
there will be little change from the

Dampness prevents the Satisfac-
tory use of linoleum, so this cover
ing should not be used where the
floor is not permanently dry. Clay
tile and asphalt tiles may be used.
Where a wood floor is laid over con-
crete, layer of waterprooflng over
the concrete is necessary if there is
dampness present.
With walls, floor and ceiling all
of hard material. the basement is
likely to be noisy because sounds are
reflected instead Of being absorbed.
Carpet or rugs laid over the floor
will help to offset this tendency.

of those years.
Three are many reasons why 1t Il
better to have a decorator than not
to have one. The most obvious Is
that a decorator has knowledge
which you are not likely to have
unless you have studied for years.
Even a superficial acquaintance with
furniture periods, color conventions
and the laws of balance are valuable
to you. So, the greater value Of the
trained decorator is easy to see. His
or her knowledge may supply just
the touch which will make your
room, and which you and every one
who sees it will realize was put to-
gether by an artist and an expert.

Idle Basement Needs

; Chief Reasons; Paint
Good on Floor

The Easements of hundreds of
American homes are waste space
which could be quickly and inex-
pensively reclaimed and put to ev-
evryday use.
Storing the coal neatly in a spe-
cial coal bin, moving out junk and
old pieces of furniture for which
the owner anticipates no need, in
stalling lights and putting the floors,
walls and ceiling in shape will entail
no great expense if carefully
planned. In return the home
owner will have an extra room
which can serve any number of diff
ferent uses.
Easements have been converted
into Photographic darkrooms, rec
reation rooms for games and enter
tanning, rooms for collectors to use
for assembling and storing their
discoveries and many other uses to
suit individual hobbies or needs.
Finishing the basement is usually
the biggest problem in a job of this
kind.
Ceiling Advantages.
There are three chief ADVANTAGES

Timber Gets Color

To give additional colors to veneer
woods used for furniture, woodsmen
employed by furniture dealers used
to inject dye into the living trees.
When the sap had carried the dye
through the wood, changing its
color. the tree was felled and cut up
into veneer wood. Something of
the same procedure is carried on
today, except that the tree is first
cut, then the dye is forced into the
fibers under strong pressure. When
the layers are unrolled a variety of
fantastic mottlings and color tones
result.

side air will often cause moisture in
the air to condense on the cellar
walls or on coldwater pipes to such
an extent that the cellar, which
otherwise would be dry, may become
unwholesomely damp. Sufficient

will help prevent this condition.

This was a statement which pro-
vided that a woman's marital status

times have had bills proposed to dis

By HOWARD JARVIS

"A MOTHER tradition was broken
by the Democratic party when
it gave women delegates an equal
voice with men on the party plat
form committee for the first time
in American political history.
This action was taken at the fourth
session of the convention. More than
1900 women delegates had decided
to put up united front to demand
this equality.
The women didn't hesitate to use
their new-found power. They intro
duced several amendments to the
party platform, and those amend
ments were passed. Foreign policy
and women's rights received partic-
ular attention.
At the insistence of Mrs. Arthur
Condor of Washington, D. c., the
plank on foreign policy which had
already been accepted by the COM
mittee was changed to provide a
warning to foreign dictators. Five
words, except in case of attack
were added to the pledge not to send
troops to fight in foreign lands.

spearhead of the opposition to the
third term, moved the nomination
of the President by reclamation.
Aside from the balloting and the
reading of the planks in the plat
form, three things stood out in sharp
relief in an otherwise unemotion-
al and unexciting convention. One
was the candidacy of James A. Far
ley and the speculation over his
future role in the party. The other
was the reading by Permanent

President Roosevelt's views on the

pledged to him. The third was the
dramatic appearance Of 82-year-old
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
from a sick bed to inveigh against
breaking the third term tradition
as he nominated Mr.. Farley.
Roosevelt VS.. Farlcy.
& The approaching dissolution of the
partnership between Mr.. Farley and
President Roosevelt was evident as
the chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional committee raised his gavel on
Monday noon, calling the convention
to order. Those who remembered
the situation in 1882 and 1886 when
Farley was the organizing genius
felt the contrast. No longer was
Jim Farley the general-in-chief di-
recting the strategy that would re-
nominate his chief. He was in an
other role-that of a candidate for
the presidency himself and an
avowed opponent OF the third-term
idea.
For months it had been apparent
to political observers that the Pres
ident and Mr.. Farley no longer saw
eye-to-eye. The Presidents silence
on the third-term question and Far
ley's known opposition to it in
creased the difficulties. Their his
toric conference at Hyde Park,
N. Y, a week before the conven-
ton at which Mr.. Roosevelt made
known his views and pledged Far
ley to secrecy, pushed the question
of their future relationship further
into the lirnelight. To many, it
seemed virtual confirmation of the
long-standing rurnor that Mr.. Farley

night were interpreted as a gesture
Of friendship to Mr.. Farley.
