BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON,

It is pretty hard to think far
ahead when you are wrapped up in
the immediate result of specific
house improvement, such as paint
ing the outside of your home. The
thought of smooth, clean coat of
paint over the walls of your house
is satisfying. Nothing perks up the
appearance of a house like a coat of
paint
Nevertheless, even when house.
painting, you should think ahead
three or four years ahead-to the
day when you will be house-paint-
ing again. For, though you hate to
think Of it as you slap a brush
against the siding of your own cot
tage, you will have to paint again
some day. why not take care that
the paint you are using now will
help when you paint again?
Naturally you want a paint which
will give a fine appearance for
long time and which at the same
time affords maximum protection.
But why not ask more than this?
Why not ask for paint that wears
away, as 1t ultimately must, leaving
a surface suitable for easy repaint-
ing?
There are paints on the market,
formulated with titanium dioxide
pigments which wear by moderate
chalking. A fine white powder forms

vances made by savings and loan
associations for home building and
buying the first four months and
those insured for other lenders by
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton during the same period.
The amount paid out in this
fashion is the largest volume of
direct investment in home proper
ties which any January-April period
in the last 10 years has seen, ac-
cording to Paul Endicott, chairman
of the committee. Two years ago,
he said, probably half of that sum
would have gone into securities,
savings accounts or policies of some
sort. Today, he added, people re-
member the decline in the value
of the dollar during the last war
and turn to commodities, tangibles
like real estate, as hedge
Mr.. Endicott predicted these peo-
pie will invest some 10000, 900 more
in their new properties before the
year is out.
In spite of all other reasons that
may be given for this years in
crease in home building. the effect
of the war cannot be overlooked" he
said.

Relations with labor in the con-

marked improvement throughout the
country, the Board of Directors of
the American Institute of Archi-

annual convention just concluded
in Louisville, Ky.
Making public the results of
Nationwide survey by the insti-
tute's Committee on Industrial Rela-
tions, the Board of Directors said:
I'm general, the findings of the
committee indicate a stabilization
OF conditions affecting labor costs,
an elimination of many of the un-
satisfactory conditions and misun-
derstandings which have created
disputes in the industry in the past,
and a tendency toward a more
positive control to expose and sup
press irregularities and abuses"

which is why it is called paint that
cleans itself" Such a coat of paint
merely grows thinner with the years,
leaving a surface in good condition
for repainting.
Even the rate of chalking has been
controlled by scientists, so that the
paint won't chalk too freely. For
while chalking is a good way for
paint to wear, it wouldn't do to have
the process take place to rapidly.

70,500 Advances
Completely Paid
By Borrowers

A survey by the Home Owners
Loan Corp. today disclosed that
borrowers of the agency have paid
back more than $733, 900 900, or 226
per cent of their entire principal
Indebtedness. More than 70,5O0
loans, amounting to $l67 SOC, 900,
have been repaid in full, the sur
vey disclosed.
Charles A. Jones, general man
ager of the corporation, pointed out
that the agency granted more than
a million loans, amounting to So
093 ,000, 900 before the lending period
closed in June, 1886, and has since
disbursed about $4,000, 900 to the
same borrowers, largely to aid them
in meeting taxes and to protect
their properties through recondi-
tioning and repair
Extension of liberal credit to
those of small income has been
justified" Mr.. Jones said. THE
average H. O. L. c. loan, was only
about $1,000 and the great majority
of the loans were considerably less
than that figure. Records show
that the greatest number of loans
repaid in full have been in the lower
brackets and the general perform
ance of the lowest-income borrow
ers has been at least as good as
those of higher income"
The manager said it has been
proved that liberal terms and low
interest rates have a decisive in
f1uence on the ability of home seek
ers to pay out on their contracts,
adding: There is no question that
many foreclosures by private lend
ers in the past were due to difficult
terms and excessive charges bor-
rowers found themselves unable to
meet.

Seasonal Gain

Up for April
Residential Building
For Cities 22 Pet.
Over March

Construction reports for April
have disclosed an increase of %
per cent over March in permit
valuations for new residential con-
struction-about double the usual
seasonal increase-Secretary of La
Dor Perkins reported today follow
ing completion by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of its monthly sur
vey of construction throughout the
country
Other types of construction also
showed important gains, Secretary
Perkins said. Indicated expendi-
lures for new non-residential con-
struction were II per cent higher
than in March, and gain of %
per cent was noted in additions,
alterations and repairs to existing
structures. Total building con-
struction showed 20 per cent in
crease over the preceding month
Residential Gain Largest.
The gain in residential construc-
ton over the corresponding period
in 1899 was even more pronounced
Permit valuations for this type of
construction were 81 per cent high
er during last month than in April,
1899. Permit valuations for new
non-residential buildings showed a
gain of IL per cent over the cor
responding period last year, while
additions, alterations and repairs
dropped 03 of l per cent. Total
construction was % per cent higher,
however.
Building construction for the first
four months of this year fell l per
cent below last year as permits were
issued in reporting cities for build
ings valued at $619 $4,000. Permits
for residential buildings during the
first third of 1940, however, amount
ed to $500 0682 900, an increase of IL
per cent over last year. These fig
ures are based on reports from 2,046
cities having an aggregate popula-
ton of 59,900,000.
Washington in Third Place.
Washington jumped from fourth
to third place among the 125 leading
cities of the country in value of all
types of building construction dur
ing the first four months of this
year, Miss Perkins pointed out. This
city's permit valuation was placed at
S20,047,131, an increase of nearly
$4,000 600 over the corresponding
period of 1899. This figure included
contracts awarded by the Federal
and District Governments in addi-
tion to private enterprise. Only New
York and Los Angeles had larger
building totals for the four-month
period than Washington.
Secretary Perkins report also
showed that permits issued last
month provided for 1929 dwelling
units. OF these, 1902 were in prof.
ects under the jurisdiction of the
United States Housing Authority
March permits provided for 1882
dwelling units, of which 3,059 were
in U. S. H. A-aided projects. Com
pared with April, 1899, there was an
increase Of 40 per cent in the total
number of family units
provided last month. U. S. H. A.
projects for which contracts were
awarded during April last year pro-
vided 965 units.
For April, 1910, Federal and State
construction amounted to s18,653,-
600. as compared with $18.617000
for the preceding month and s9,-
SAB 500 for April, 1899.

Brother of COP Nominee Returns from Vest
 ward Trip

To big Ed Willkie, Vice-President of Libby, McNeill and Libby, being a brother to Wendell Willkie, next President of the United States" is pleasing, very flattering, and some times a damn nuisance"
 Ed Willkie, who arrived in Juneau from the Interior by PAA Electra yesterday after trip to Libby can rneries in Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet, is naturally certain" his brother will beat Roosevelt in November
 T really believe, sincerely" Will 'kie declared, that Wendell will win. It was the people who nominated him, and he stands for something the people want-a return to Dem ocracy"
 Willkie, turning the conversation to fish, in which he declared he was more interested just now than politics, said Cook Inlet is appar- ently having it's greatest fish run in history and will surpass all pre- vious years if the run continues.
 In Bristol Bay, Willkie said the salmon catch was "as good as can be expected on an off year." and agreed with estimates of approxi- mately a half million case pack in the Bay area this summer.
 A guest at the Baranof Hotel Willkie will spend about two days in this section, visiting the Taku cannery, and will then go to Craig and Georges Inlet to visit the can- neries Libbys operate there.
 G. " Graham, executive in Libbys salmon division is with MT. Willkie and will remain in Southeast AL aska for the next month.
