FORMIDABLE
DEFENsES

The hills and islands are sup
posedly honeycombed with anti
aircraft guns of all sizes. and big
caliber coast defense guns which
can outshoot and outrange any
thing that might be brought
against them. There are airfields
that would take hundreds of
planes. There are barracks and
camps and forts that will house
thousands of soldiers. There are
miles Of barbed wire and first and
second line defense positions all
around the island. as anyone can
see by going out East Drive.
There are supposedly well : de-
fined lines of defense up across the
Malay peninsula, to thwart anyone
who might have the idea Of land
ing in, say. Indo-China or Thai
land. and marching south on Sing
apore.
There is a navy yard with a dry
dock and floating craving docks
big enough to take the largest
ships afloat or on paper. There
are naval shops to make every
repair a war vessel might need.
There are supposed TO be sup
plies on hand TO Withstand a siege

NAZI PRESS ANGRY

Early this morning persons en-
route to offices literally were
forced to fight their way into the
subways, where the crowds were
reminiscent of the Times Square
subway rush hour.
The German press this afternoon
angrily denounced the raids as in
discriminate attacks, and reported
that non-military areas were the
principal targets.
British bombs on Berlin chill
dreh's home" said the headline in
Be Am Mittag, which said one OF
two hospitals reported hit was the
well-known Robert Koch hospital.
SCENES FRIGHTFUL
Foreign correspondents were adj
vised this morning that henceforth
nothing may be sent out regarding
the duration of air raids.
AS the bombs started crashing in
London people dived for shelters
or dropped prone beside walls.
seeking whatever cover they could
find.
The bombs began striking build
ings and crashing in the streets
among pedestrians and traffic.
Those who had taken shelter left
cover. ignoring their danger. to aid
the wounded and to remove bodies
of the dead.

Retirement Of Shares for Aiding
National Defense Is Recommended

savings and loan committee In Chi
Cago few weeks ago.
The $4,000, 900 treasury invest
ment in savings and loan associ-
atoms. O'Malley explained, made
possible the start of more than 900
new community home financing
institutions between 1884 and 1888
and enlarged the lending capacity
of several hundred existing insti-
tutions. Such funds would be i'm
mediately available for repayment
to the treasury without difficulty
since there is a rapid flow of saw
ings from the public into these in
stitutions now.
A return averaging 3.5 per cent
per annum has been paid semi
annually on this investment of the
treasury in the associations since
it was first put on their books, and
this is considerably above the cost
of the funds to the treasury, it
was pointed out. The principal is,
Of course. entirely intact and a
considerable portion of the total
original investment has already
been paid back by the associations,
IL was said.

Quaint Traditions Revealed
In Colors and Where Used

certain colors with certain types of
architecture.
For instance, they say, in home
Of a colonial type. it is possible to
take advantage of the lovely mel
low shades that the restoration
of colonial Williamsburg has sug-
gested.
Various sources indicate that the
favorite outside. colors today are
white, ivory. cream. silver gray,
and other light warm tints.
There is, however, another point
to consider before deciding on a
color scheme. Ones dream home
may have been shining white
cottage. But when pennies have TO
be watched, darker shade may be
more practical If the home is TO be
exposed to city's SCOT and CRIME.
Dark colors sometimes help to
make a house look smaller or to
blend 1t with rustic landscape.
Many an otherwise charming home
has been spoiled by an unattractive
roof which should have been part
of the color scheme. blending with
it or forming an interesting con-
trast.

Of Hot
Water Needed
Also Necessary
In Hot Months

An adequate supply of hot water,
available at the turn of faucet,
Is just as necessary TO the family
during the summer months when
the main heating plant is turned
off as II is during the winter
A separate hot-wster heater, or
one that will function without put
ting in operation the entire heat
ing system. is no longer regarded
as a luxury, and many of this type
are available for modern small
homes.
The two general classifications
as applied to the many types Of
heaters are direct and indirect"
In the direct type the unit Is de-
voted entirely to the heating Of
hot water. while in the indirect
type the hot water is a by-product
Of the regular heating plant.
Direct heaters can be obtained
In types such as automatic units
requiring storage tanks. automatic
units requiring no storage tanks,
and non-automatic units requiring
storage tanks.
In the indirect type heaters a
special coil is built into either a
hot-water or steam boiler through
which the water is passed and
piped to a storage tank.

Cheap Paints
Not Advised
No Economy In
Poor Materials

It is not only impractical but
almost impossible TO save money
by buying very cheap paint.
In the long run. cheap paint will
actually cost more. Figures fur
nished by the paint industrys re-
search laboratory are used to
prove this fact
A home which receives cheap
paint job may find the paint is
scaling off. cracking. and unable
to resist the weather after year
and a half. The painter IL called
in and points out that the house
must be "unpainted" before IT can
be reprinted. BY this he means
that the scaled paint must be
burned or scraped off at an added
cost.
On the other hand, the home
owner who used good quality paint
finds his property still in good
condition after two years wear.
Further, the good paint won't
scale off. Instead, it wears down
by gradual chalking, leaving
perfect surface for new paint. No
burning and scraping will be nee
essary at repainting time, and no
new printing coat will have to be
applied.

CHICAGO The voluntary re-
tirement of s35.ooO,oo0 of treas
ury-owned shares in the several
hundred federal savings and loan
associations to aid the financing
OF the national defense program
was urged upon all such associa-
tons by James J. O'Malley. Wilkes
Barre. Pa. chairman of the fed
eral savings and loan committee
of the United States Savings and
Loan league. 1t was in line with
the message which President
Roosevelt sent to the senate on
April IS, outlining the possibilities
for $700, 000,0 900 additional cash in
the treasury possible by reducing
funds in some of the government
instrumentalities.
Since that time, O'Malley ex-
planned, the needs OF the treasury
have become even more urgent
with the imminence of unprece-
denied expenditures for arma-
ments.

suit of discussions among members

Hasiy Purchase
Not Advisable

Home buyers who insist on too
hasty conclusion of their mortgage
financing arrangements may find
that this kind Of fast service often
means the sacrifice of safety and
protection.
Ordinarily prudent individuals
sometimes are tempted to discard
their customary caution in an
effort to complete home-financing
transactions as quickly as posi-
BILE, even though a home purchase
is usually the largest investment
ever undertaken by the average
family.
Reasonable study and investiga-
ton frequently proves that it is
safer and wiser to wait the extra
few days required TO make a COM
plete analysis and examination Of
the whole home-buying trans
action.

Time to Change
Outmoded Codes

Many Of the building codes now
In effect in the United States
should receive immediate critical
examination to determine how far
they are impending the standard
ization of home-construction tech
niques and materials and retard-
ing low-cost home-construction ac-
tivity.
Studies OF building codes, con-
Quoted by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration in connection with
the preparation of localized con-
struction requirements and prop
erty standards for properties Sc
curing FILA insured mortgages,
have disclosed wide variations and
discrepancies in fundamental fac
tual provisions of existing codes.
So far as can be determined,
many variations cannot be justi-
fled on grounds of public health or
safety or climatic conditions, 1t Is
said.
Many codes fail to make provi-
sion for ready acceptance of new
materials and methods, it is
claimed. When this occurs the
public Is denied the benefits Of
possible cost savings or improved
construction. the science Of build
ing is retarded, invention is dis
couraged. and intelligent solution
Of a problem may be prevented.
1t Is estimated that about 20
per cent Of the building codes in
existence now are from Is to 20
years old.

Remove Wox Before
Refinishinq Started

Ali wax should be thoroughly
removed before floors are refinish-
ed. II the floors were previously
treated with the kind of wax that
requires rubbing to polish it, the
floor surface should be cleaned
with turpentine or mineral spirits.
After the wax has softened, wipe
ii completely away. Then clean
again with the solvent. II a non

Pensions, Power
Initiatives Due
OLYMPIA

OLYMPIA - Predictions here
are that only two or three of
the IL initiatives filed will get
sufficient signatures on their petit
tons to be filed with Secretary
Of State Belle Reeves.
To get on the November ballot
they must have $4,000 legally
registered voters names, and
that means their sponsors must
get 10000 to 10000 actual sigma
lures. as many will be thrown out
as unregistered or otherwise in
valid. Deadline for filing sigma
lures is July 5.
Active petition pushing
campaigns have been waged
for the first initiative filed,
No. 139, curtailing public
power districts power to is
sue revenue bonds, and Initia-
tive 141. the $40 old age PEN
sion measure. Advance indi-
cations were both would get
enough signatures to get on
the ballot.
The last initiative filed. No.
149, aimed against fifth column"
subversive activities, may secure
enough signatures despite its late
filing date.
Two initiatives intended to Gre
ate one-house legislature were
filed and withdrawn as being i'm
properly drafted and third one,
an initiative to the 1941 legisla-
ture, filed to replace them.
Other initiatives filed were: 140
private sale of liquor; 142--
chain store licenses; 143-state
regulation of gasoline and oil in
dustry; las - reorganization of
state government: 146-repeal Of
