Dignity in Doors
Declared Important

The doorway to the home occupies
a focal point of attention and should
carry the dignity that Is demanded
of 1t.
Beauty in doorways runs the
gamut of design all the way from
simplicity to antique hand-carved
portals. Many of the fine old doors
of other centuries are now available
in reproduction. These add greatly
to homes of defiite architectural
design and do not cost much more
than a plain door which may not
be in character with the home
Doors are poor articles on which
to economize, most builders believe
The lightweight doors, suitable for
interiors, will warp and crack in
some climates if used for exteriors.
If this occurs, the combined expen-
ditures will exceed what the original
cost of a good door would have been.

Donald said today.
The greatest volume of modern

quarter since movable equipment
became ineligible was insured by
the F. H. A. in July, August and
September, Mr.. Mcdonald an
nounced.
While home building throughout
the United States has been rising
for several years" Mr.. Mcdonald
said, 1t is still necessary that exist
ing properties be kept in good con-
dition. Many more families borrow
small amounts for repairing and
improving their homes than buy
new homes. In fact, approximately
2,750,000 property improvement
loans have been insured by the
F. H. A., meaning that at least
10000 900 people have obtained bet
ter living quarters in this way"

Until comparatively recent years,
it was taken for granted that the

it was time for the evening meal.

Washington builders are begin

construction costs as huge orders

increase in cost Of some items has
been large.
One prominent District home
builder said the price of framing
lumber has increased 80 per cent
in the last month. Another stated
that framing and flooring materials
have increased from IS to 20 per
cent. He said the situation is acute,
particularly in regard to Virginia
pine, which is being used for con-
struction of defense housing and
Army barracks. This lumber also
is being exported to England, a
building supply dealer said. Any
way, the builder declared properly
seasoned lumber is scarce.
Prices Of other materials, notably
steel and cement, have increased
some, but the increases have been
more gradual.
