Building Congress
Acts on Proposals 10
Improve Industry
Bidding and Foir
Practice Codes Among
Subjects Considered

In special meeting held this
week, the Board of Governors of the
Washington Building Congress took
action on a number of important
recommendations for improvement
of work of the building industry,
which were contained in a report
Of the Committee on Industry AZ
fairs, Of which Edwin H. Rosen-
garten is chairman. The meeting
was called by Theodore Irving Coe,
architect and chairman of the board.
Among the items given considera-
ton was the matter of bidding
practices. A committee will be ap-
pointed to give further study to this
important phase Of the industry,
which is often point of friction. It
is hoped that fair practice code for
the local industry can be worked
out.
Apprenticeship is another subject
which will be given special study
leading to action In the near future.
Both employers and labor are cogni-
zaht Of the need for better trained
workers and since training a highly
skilled mechanic is q matter Of
several years, the Washington Build
ing Congress, representing as it does
all sections of the local industry,
feels that it can give no greater
service to the community than to
take the lead in furthering the train
ing of young men to become compe-
tent and highly skilled in the build
ing trades.
At this meeting the board approved
a recommendation that contractors,

report Of the project.

Do you ever look around at the
tired old furnishings Of your home
and wish you could burn the lot Of
it and buy q complete new outfit2
Most people seem to buy their furni-
ture when they get married and set
up housekeeping and never give it q
second thought, but If they looked
around they would md some pretty
sorry looking material. Buying new
furniture obviously Is an expense
and you sort Of figure that maybe
things will be better next year, then
we can get lot Of really nice look
ing things" but that next year is
usually long In coming.
Take another look around, though,
and you will. be surprised to find the
number of pieces Of furniture which
you now have that can be made over
quite simply into handsome modern
furnishings. Not only that, but II
there is secondhand furniture
store in the neighborhood you will
find all kinds Of old chairs and tables
that can be made over into Nvable
articles with only . modiolim Of In
genuity and q few cans Of enamel.
1t doesn't make any difference Fas to
how badly they are desig1Ded In their
present old-fashioned form because
after you are finished with them
even Mr. Chippendale wouldn't
known his own product.
For example, it is an easy matter
to take one Of those heavy tables of
the mission oak" era, remove the
various parts and put the table back
together in the form Of an attrac-
tive home flower garden or possibly
a fine desk. Or you can take a pair
Of old shutters, remove all the hinges

it over into q useful wall hung table
Of the latest type on which to place
plants or other decoration.
A new enamel which is easily put
on by even the most inexperienced
novice will help a lot in decorating
these works Of art so that they will
look like something you will want to
have around your home. This new
material Is said to dry quickly, re-
quire only one coat, and will leave
no brush marks. Furthermore, it
leaves no disagreeable odor, will re-
sist water and heat, and dries with q
bright durable finish. It is avail
able in q wide range of attractive
colors, including glossy black, gold
and aluminium.

for low-income groups, however, Is
