There is worth -Wnlle lesson IN
coordination of color and line at
the dining room of the National
Airport. Every woman who has
wondered what to get TO go with
what she has can find a story of
appropriateness that will help in

thing else it will give her the cour-
age to try new and different Selec-

All of US, in choosing furniture
and accessories for homes, consider
our purse, our needs, the prevailing
style-but very often forget to tie
in the new purchase with the things
we already have or with the general
atmosphere of the house.
So We end up with an expensive
item that sticks out like a sore

u. S. Will Have
To Act if Industry
Logs, Fohey Says

A warning that homes for de-
fense workers must be built at once
that the Government will have to
take over the job with public funds
if private industry does not meet
the emergency-was issued today by
John H. Fahey, chairman of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
The demand exists today and 1t
will increase tomorrow-and few
months from now may be too late
to get building programs under
way" declared Mr. Fahey in calling
for increased cooperation of all
private enterprise to lift the load
off the shoulder of Government
agencies and do its own job"
"A reasonable supply of all ma
terials for residential construction
is available for defense housing.
Labor can be obtained now. A
shortage in both labor and ma
terials is likely if there is any un-
necessary delay"
Looks to Private Industry.
Defense workers have been
crowded into the industrial centers
and into smaller communities where
defense activities have created hous-
ing problems out of all proportion to
their previous size, Mr.. Fancy
pointed out, and no ordinary build
ing program can take care of the
situation.
The Government wants private
industry to finance three housing
units for every one it constructs
with public funds" said Mr.. Fahey.
But if private enterprise does not
do the job, the Government will
have TO do it. Defense workers must
have decent places to live, at price
within their means"
Citing the fact that more than
$500 900 900 has been loaned by saw
ingS and loan associations of the
Federal Home Loan Bank System
in defense localities where a hous-
/ ing shortage exists. and have
financed at least 100000 newly built

Colonial Dwelling
Is on View for
Second Week

Admired by 1900 persons since
the opening last Sunday, the sew
enth in the 1941 series of Silver
Star Homes-a gracefully construct
ed Colonial dwelling at TIA Norway
drive, Kenwood, Md.-tomorroW goes
into the second week of its exhibit
tion period.
The house, especially suitable for
entertaining, was erected by the
Kennedy -Chamberlin Development
Co. from plans drawn by A. H.
Sonnemann. Situated on lot con-
tanning 1,500 square feet, the home
has the Endorsement of the Silver
Star Homes Committee.
The house has many fine points,
but it's outstanding one is its Iva
bility. which is evident in each unit.
The living room has quiet, little
study and secluded porch adjoining.
The master bedroom has hall lead
ing to the bath and small room
beyond, furnished for sewing room,
which would delight any woman.
The kitchen has a pantry con-
Meeting with the hall and the din
ing room, saving steps as well as
offering excellent cupboard space
for dishes and wooden counter
top for food preparation. These are
but few of the many details which
make the home as personal and in
dividual as though it were made
to order
Wide Entrance Hall.
The entrance hall is wide and
light, with the dining room at the
left, the living room at the right
and the door to the pantry and
stair to the recreation room and
garage at the rear.
The living room has excellent FUR
niture space, with fireplace group
Of two wing chairs with side tables
and a round coffee table before
them. The long wall uses a large
Chippendale sofa with lamp tables
and a pull-up chair beside it. A
lovely French commode with marble
top matches in size a radio phono-
graph in the wall space at either
side of the rear window.
A door at the garden end Of the
room leads to a screened porch, and
one at the upper end of the room
opens into the library. This pleas
ant little study room undoubtedly
will be one of the favorite spots in
the house. There is a lavatory and
a large coat closet off this room,
which also affords access to the
porch.
A distinguishing feature of the
dining room is a large recessed win
dow, attractively draped and form
ing a background for a side table
and two chairs. Dining rooms have
a tendency to be just space for fur
niture and a new or unusual treat
ment is always a welcome surprise.
Plenty of Counter Space.
The housekeeping part of this
house is unusually well designed.
The kitchen has plenty of counter
space-with wood tops for food
preparation and linoleum counters
in all the splash areas. Steel cab
inets provide ample storage. and
there is room for a breakfast table
for four.
Leading from the kitchen is the
pantry and the rear of the hall
Here there is coat closet, large
closet for the vacuum cleaner and
the household equipment and the
stairs to the basement. This base
ment passage is paneled in pine
painted very pale robins egg blue.
The knots have been sanded bit
so that the natural color of the
wood shows through. making an
unusual and attractive finish.
Following the blue paneling takes
you to playroom with wide hearth.

Plans TO Keep Foe Too Busy
To Work on Old Wounds

st don't hold it against Zivic or
any other fighter that he works for
the eyes. It's part of the boxing
business to protect yourself at all
vulnerable points. What I aim to
do is keep zivic so busy protecting
himself that he won't have time to
work on me-" =
It's quite possible that Henry still
has enough of those vitamins left
to make the kind of fight he plans
perpetual motion, perpetual punish
ment, tireless abuse with wrist, fist
and elbow, until the victim drops in
his tracks. But my hunch is that
the shreWd, lantern -jawed ziylc will
escape with the title.
Another gifted infighter, Lou
Ambers, lighter than zivic and a
lighter hitter, was able to get Henry's
number and elude him and do ef-
fectfve work in close-at a time
when Armstrong was much stronger
and freSher than he is now. Zivic
is not as fast or as durable as Am
bers, but he has many of the same
tricks of style, ;and' he has a better
target. :' -.

three successive defeats suffered
by their team. The Brewers will
invade Baltimore tomorrow night

turning here for a Sunday game
with the champion Philadelphia
Sphas. p-
Individually, we appear to have
a better club than that which forced
the Sphas into a playoff for the
American League championship last
year. Posnack said today, but COL
lectively, we've been only mediocre.
We have yet to beat the Sphas this
season and we've lost to other clubs
that I feel had no right to beat us.
I'm determined to round out WIN
ming club this year, and if new faces
are what's needed, we'll sacrifice
some of our stars in order to get
them"

return to the lineup himself after
