The bottle holders are prefabricated
of galvanized metal which holds the
bottles securely within the individual
cells, which are just the right size
for quart bottles. We can tell you
where to get them at cost of about
$7.20 for SO bottles. $50 for 100 bottles
plus freight charges from New
York City.
All you have to do Is make a frame
for the bottle holders, choosing clear
cypress If possible, planed on all four
sides and stained or treated with q
coat of paraff1n or varnish to pre-
serve the wood, and add a backing
Of fiber board in large panels to ward
of direct drafts and to provide an
insulating air space between the
bottles and the wall behind them.
1t is also a good idea to lay three
sheets of galvanized metal under the
uprights of the framework, to keep
them from touching the floor, where
capillary moisture may be present.
The bottle holders come knocked
down and ready for easy assembly.
They can be ordered to measure for
any given space. Here's something
to do with that new set of carpenters
tools you got for Christmas!

Luctic Acid Into Rubber

Many forward strides in the utili-
zation Of waste products include
some of promise to the lacquer and
varnish industry. One in particular
deals with converting the Tactic acid
In dairy products into a substance
known as polymethylacrylate, q
rubberlike material, which-in addi-
ton to being very tough and elastic
is not subject to discoloration by
sunlight or ultraviolet rays. This
method will probably prove Of sig
niflcance in the formulation Of lac
quers, varnishes and impregnating
compounds. If it proves com.
mercially practicable, a sordece a
low-cost lacquer and varnish in
gradients will have been found.

Antique Furniture

Furnishings Favored
In Poll Of Visitors
Special Dispatch to The star.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-That women
can employ antique furniture in
furnishing modern home has been
conclusively proven. The Marine
Drive Flats, newly established here,
contain the results Of an interest
ing experiment In this line. These
aats-or apartments-are ultra mod
ern in architecture. and women pos
sessing inherited furniture showed
hesitation at renting them. How
could a horsehair sofa be made to
appear at ease against a long, un-
broken stretch Of wall space, for
example? To settle the perplexity in
their minds the architect engaged
an outstanding interior decorating
Arm to furnish two Of the apart
ments. One was done in the Re-
gency period, with rich mahcg-
any furniture and Victorian dra-
peries throughout. The other was
furnished In the smartest Of mod
ern effects. Then vote was ta-
ken-the women voting for the one
that appealed most to them. The
result was that Regency was IA
vored, two to one.
On entering the Regency apart
ment an air of spaciousness is at
once apparent. There is a wide hail.
way that is uncrowded by the
lamp table. the inviting chairs and
the antique chest. The dark green

Fred A. Smith Speaker
Al Real Estate Forum

Real estate is the basic entity IN
the affairs of the world, Fred A.
Smith, president of the Washington
Real Estate Board, told members at
the fourth annual forum conducted
by the local realtors organization.
He said to acquire knowledge to
enable real estate brokers to best
serve their clients requires years of
study, just as in the study of law
and medicine.
The professional aspects Of the
real estate business as conducted
today were stressed by the speaker,
who outlined the steps which have
been taken by both the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
and the local board in inaugurating
educational courses, which had for
their sole purpose the qualifying
of those engaged in appraising, SELL
ing and servicing real estate.
The formation of the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
and the Institute of Property Man
agement, which groups were spon-
sored by the realtors of America,
has done much to establish a high
standard of practice, Mr.. Smith said.
Through cooperative effort mem
bers of real estate boards have es-
tabished standards of practice, have
adopted a national code of ethics
and hold national and regional con-
ferences, where ideas are mutually
exchanged for the sole purpose of
improving their methods. The ex-
perienced broker must today be well
versed in all phases of the business
technical consultant with a highly
specialized knowledge Of his. COM
munity, his ppofessioei and the needs
of his clients, Mr.. Smith pointed out.
The speaker for the meeting next
Thursday is ]. Wesley Buchanan,
who will discuss selling brokerage
houses, according to Joseph A. Her
bert, jr., chairman Of the Educa-
tional Committee Of the Real Estate
Board. All sessions are being held
in the United States Chamber Of
Commerce Building and will con-
tinue for the next 10 weeks.

Rot, like termites, turks In IT.,
soil around every home, and at
tacks untreated wood with varying
rapidity. It can cause costly dam
age, so you might save yourself
hours Of work and worry and dol
lars of hard-earned money, by ap-
plying few cents worth of chem
ical known as acid cupric chromate
(and also by trade name) to plant
stakes, fence posts, trellises, porch
steps and building foundation tim
ber.
When applied to clean. dry lum-
ber, this chemical combines with the
wood cells and won't evaporate or
drip out, even in running water.
A test of untreated and treated
wood blocks was made by the manu-
facturers of this chemical, in which
the blocks were immersed in sea
water for a year. The untreated
blocks showed serious damage by
marine borers, while the treated
blocks remained sound.
This chemical Is not an extermi-
nator. If there are termites or rot
in the wood before you use it, the
damage done cannot be eliminated.
You had better call in a specialist to
make an examination. But if you
are thinking of stitch in time to
save nine, it's good idea to brush
or spray some of this chemical on
wood near the ground.

 Banks handling Canadian cur reney have been converting such coin through American banks in which Canadian banks also do bus mess, but such is no longer the case under the new ruling It is believed the measure is designed to prevent an outflow of Canadian money on an exchange market when that money is needed by the De- minion and the British Empire for purchase of war materials.

MusSOlini Holds
 Important Spot
 h EurOpe's War
By Morgan M. Beatty AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, April 5-While Mussolini-the Realist swaps secrets with Adolph Hitler, Mussolini-the- Empire-Builder still has his eyes on Mediterranean empire.
 American experts on world poli- tics tell you to remember that in the weeks ahead.
 Whichever way Mussolini seems to turn at the moment, no one doubts that his course will point in the long run toward coveted Corfu, Dalmatia, Malta, Tunisia, the Anglo Egyptian Sudan, Djibouti, and the Suez Canal.
 And except for Dalmatia and Cor fu, and their strategic bearing on control of the Balkans, the Allies have a firm grip on most of Che stepping stones to Mussolini's Med iterranean empire. The Allies have most of what Il Duee Wants-not Herr Hitler.
 The Allies also have the military LII OH OA AAaA CAJ6E L4G 9A5G LdnhA and Gibraltar, and Italy might soon be starved.
 If Hitler's Winning the War;
 But this does not mean that Mus solini should rush to the side of the Allies. That would be exacty the thing NOT to do, from his point of view.
 Like the girl who goads her best beau into a proposal by flirting with his hated rival, Mussolini must con- tinue to keep company with his axis partner of the north, If he is to per suade the Allies to come to him ul- timately with open arms.
 Besides, what if the Allies should make a blunder. and find them selves losing the war. All the more reason to stand in well with Hitler The German dictator would then be in a position to give Mussolini what he wants.
 No. Mussolini should be deliber- ate, unhurried. Mussolini is deliber-

ate, unhurried
 Mussolini might be tempted to act as Hitler's peace broker In that case. what about that Mediterranean empire?
 Would the Allies give Mussolini what he wants as a commission for acting as peace broker2 Hardly.
 Balkan Nightmare
 Then there's that Balkan night mare. For a while Mussolini could even afford to string along with Russia and Germany in a partition of Balkan influence. But if common sense doesn't tell Mussolini he'd be playing a losing game there in the long run. history should give him the clue.
 History will tell him that Italy, Germany, and Russia have always been rivals for Balkan supremacy. Their interests are not identieaE The Balkans supply raw materials for industrial nations. Russia, Ger many, and Italy are all industrial nations. needing raw materials.
 And there are not enough raw materials in the Balkans to supply one of those nations, let alone all three.
 So a patchwork arrangement in the Balkans might interest Mus solini on a temporary basis, but not in the long run.
 Far better for Mussolini to try to get a route to commerce around the Suez, through Tunisia and the Ang- lo-Egyptian Sudan, and a fair share of the stock in the suez canal
 Until the last whistle blows, Mus solini will be dreaming of empire, just as every important Italian has dreamed.
 And Mussolini knows that a straight line is not necessarily the shortest distance between present. day Italy, bottled up in the Medi- terranean, and a future Italy mas ter of the Mediterranean.
