Pacifsfs Are
Nice People

War is thousands Of years
old. The first recorded con
fict was one between two
brothers. 1t was a small affair,
but it was significant. Cain
slew his brother Abel. Since
that day men have fought.
Sometimes their braWls have
no more sense than that OF
Cain and Abel; they fight for
recognition.
Wars are not always for raw
materials, nor are most Of them
for territory. A fine analysis
may show that the majority Of
wars arise out Of a clamor for
recognition, for nationalism, 4
sort Of national bigotry.
Greece over-ran her neighbofs
for the glory Of Greece. Look
into todays conflicts and see il
this truth does not now lie At
the bottom Of the world $ dis
turbances.
But the pacifists say doM Y
fight. This is very good advice.
But what must YOU do when
the fellow who does not know
about the goodness Of this
philosophy jumps upon you
1t becomes a case between 4
man and i bear You must
make your dinner of Of the
bear OF he will make his din
ner of Of you.
Yes, paciflsts are nice people.
but if it were not for the folks
who refuse to let bigots run
over them there would be no
pacitists. Still, we are glad to
have the pacifists, for they
keep us from forgetting to
think before We run into COLI
hict.

seems to feel that checking

oil elsewhere in the world :?
Are there no other countries

rich deep green it accented the
green and the GOODNESS of the Slip
cover and was a bowling success
at little cost and two hours work.
The Window Problem.
The windows were next! Three
single windows, demanding six yards
OF material each. It must be cheap,
1t must not take time to do because
we didn't expect to use them an
other year, it must be cool and sheer
but mask he very ugly window
frames. Cheesecloth, unbleached, 3
cents a yard! We made them full,
hanging straight to the floor. We
weighted the hens a bit to make
them hang nicely. Across the top
we used swag with a ball fringe
edge of yellow and green and the
job was perfectly satisfactory at
almost no cost in time or labor or
pennies.
We left one green overstuffed
chair as 1t was. We made slip covers
for two others out of unbleached
muslin and bound the seams with
yellow cotton tape. We invested in
paper shades of sparkling white tied
with green cords for the lamps and
picked up few little white painted
iron tables with bright tile tops for

though, and once they are clean we
can go on from that. '
Diluted Acid Helps the Bricks.
One quart of paint and one
morning are all that it took to fresh
en- up the fireplace mantel and the
window sills, even though it took
two coats to cover the smoke marks
Muriatic acid, diluted with water
and used on the end of long
handled swab, made the bricks of
the hearth clean and brought out
all their nice color. After a care
ful experiment behind the bookcase
we find that the wall paper will
wash. Barely warm water, whipped
up to froth with mild soap and
used on sponge, did the trick
The cleaning was done with the
suds only, in a rotary motion, wiped
with another almost dry sponge
with cool, clear water, and an hour
later looked fresh as daisy. So
that was that!
The sofa had last-summer
striped slip-cover of pale green and
yellow on white. It seemed to strike
just the right note-but the dark
upholstery of the other pieces spoiled
1t all, and the curtainless windows
and bare floor seemed garish and
uninviting.
We. brought the grass rug up from
the basement where it had been
stored. 1t looked faded and dull,
with the design worn off in spots
and dim in others, the tape-edging
frayed and faded. 1t had been a
good one once, but certainly showed
the effects of many steps. Could
it be dyed-or painted? A tele-
phone call brought the information
that japan ground color would dye
it evenly without stiffening the
grass or standing up like paint.
Spread on the porch, it was given
two coats, the brush strokes going

200 Homes This Year
Is Goal at Woodmoor

An ambitious program for COM
pletion Of 200 homes this year is
the goal set for Woodmoor, states
George j. Moss, head of the Moss
Realty Co., whose firm is nearing
the end of the first year OF develop
ment of this residential community
In Montgomery County, Md.
Approximately 125 homes were
completed last year in this section,
started in May after the extension
by Congress of the Federal Housing
Administrators 80 per cent mort
gage plan and the announced con-
tinuation of the 25-year amortiza-
ton plan on loans of $5,4OO and

apiece. The good mahogany ones
went to the attic for the summer,
and when guest presented us with
coffee table which was a lovely
hand-painted tole tray that sat on
a frame of bamboo, life was COM
plete.
The only thing that remained Of
winter were the pictures in their
heavy gold frames. In a desperate
moment those went to the attic
also, and we placed three lovely
Audubon birds in white frames over
the mantel and in the two wall
spaces hung white wire baskets from
the five and ten" with glass con-
tainers in which we placed the first
Towering forsythia of the season.
This new outlook on living was
accomplished in a Saturday and
Sunday with the whole family hav-
ing a finger in the pie. 1t was a
great deal of fun and no more ex-
pense than weekend motor trip.
Time is the commodity In this world
that is expensive. If you use your
own for your own enjoyment in

A little spring tonic In the way
of few changes in the interior OF
your house will do you a lot of good,
too. When you have lived in your
house all winter, closed up most of
the time, 1t begins to look dull and
drab to you. If you will remember
your refreshed impression of your
house when you came back to it
after being away for two weeks, you
will know that it isn't the house, be-
cause 1t is so delightful to come
home to, but that you are bored with
it and nothing will satisfy you but
taking it apart and putting 1t to-
gether again with a few changes
which will make it seem new. What
woman ever minded wearing last
years hat. as long as it had a new
ribbon on 1t and new friends were
going to see it?
So we start by taking down the
winter draperies, sending them to
be cleaned and stored. The glass
curtains were new this winter, and
more expensive than you usually
get and much too nice for the damp
summer breezes to mildew and rot,
so they come down, too. The rug
comes up and goes to the rug clean
er's for shampoo and storage-and
all of sudden the house looks like
a furniture store and we are a little
frightened at the cost of what it
will. take to make us feel at home
again. The bare windows bring in
a gruelling, cold light which shows
the fireplace mantel badly scorched
and smoked, window sills grimy-
looking, though the rest of the wood
work responded nicely to soap and
water. The wallpaper looks grayish
all over and there are dark streaks
over the radiators where the dust
has settled. Some one said the wall
paper was washable when you
bought it-and you wonder if you
dare to find out. The white paint

Home Can Be Planned
To Leave Room for
Later Additions
Completed Small House
May Be First Unit Of
I-urqer Structure

Every home building project
means a repetition of the age-old
battle between the desire for a large,
commodious home and the budget.
Many people are inclined to think
OF completed small home as a
1ixed unit. This is not necessarily
true. A home may be so planned
In the beginning that numerous
additions will still produce a har-
monious and efficient whole.
II your building budget is small,
build complete small home as
the first unit of the larger, more
attractive house which is your ulti-
mate ideal.
With wood construction windows
are easily converted into doors, and
harmonious additions are inexpen-
sive. Be sure, however, that you
can see in your original plans the
physical possibilities for each step
In the enlargement of the house.
Be sure that your lot provides
enough space to accomplish the
additions without violating building

contemplated future additions do
not block off needed light in some
existing rooms. One of the most
attractive features of many early
Colonial homes, now used as pat
terms for new construction, is a
succession of wings producing long
house.
A good house will last lifetime.
1t is not economical to discard a
location you like and lose the bene-
fit of development work done on
shrubs, yard and trees because the
house you have is too small. Money
Is often lost in the exchange of q
used house, and the cost of dispos-
ing of an old house and construct
Ing new, larger one will far ex-
ceed the cost of well-planned ad-
ditions to the old one. Grading,
seeding, shrubbery and yard devel-
opment account for a substantial
proportion Of the cost of new house.

for all.
Studybaker Speaks.
The cost accountants group,
which also heard a brief talk by
A. D. Studybaker of the American
Retail Federation on the unemploy-
ment compensation question, took
no action on the pending local legis-
lation. John L. Mitchell, chapter
president, said the organization
made it rule not to act as body
on such matters.
Mr.. Malone said the proposed rate
cut and restriction of the levy to
only the first $1,000 of an employees s
salary would save District employers
81 600, 900 annually. The liberalized
benefits called for in the pending
McGehee bill. he explained, would
increase annual benefit payments
to about 100000.
Even with the rate reduction
and liberalization of benefits, the
Districts unemployment compensa-
ton reserve fund still would be built
up at rate of about $4,000, 900 an
nually," he declared.
Cites Excess Revenue.
Last year, he pointed out, the
per cent jobless insurance tax on
Evening star., 1940-02-22

pay rolls brought In $e,7oo, 900, while
only $l,400,000 was being paid out
in benefits during the same period.
Mr.. Studybaker told the group
that in determining the answers to
such questions as increasing bene-
fits and reducing taxes, the Dis
trict should give consideration to
what steps the various States are
taking along the same line. Some
States already have simplified their
laws, and 1t is only reasonable that
the District should be simplifying
its law, he said.
Each State or jurisdiction should
develop an unemployment compen-
sation program along the lines best
suited to its needs, he said, adding
that he believed one of the foremost
problems to be considered is de-
veloping some means for giving
workers greater job stability.
