by q of an inch thick, sawed to fit
the window frame.
Sources of Material Given.
The remainder of the material
needed is Venetian blind Stat stock
or some similar material approx
mately IS inch thick by 2 inches
wide. Blindmakers can usually fur
nish the slat stock. In pinch it
can be ripped out of ordinary pine
by those possessing a power saw.
A discarded Venetian blind is an
other source of the Stats needed.
In the preparation of the base of
the blind an allowance must be
made at each end for the thickness
of the side pieces. These are made
from the Stat stock When they are
fastened in place the frame should
fit smoothly into the window OPEN
ing. The Stats are cut exactly the
same length as the base. Discard
any warped pieces in selecting the
Stats.
The square frame for the blind
is assembled first. Use 1-inch wire
nails to fasten the side pieces to the
base and half-inch brads to fasten
the top to the sides. The bottom
Stat is set in the frame so that its
forward edge is q of an inch above
the base. 1t is tilted at an angle of
80 degrees. Measure and mark the
position of this first Stat carefully.

More Home Owners Urged
By Federal Agency Head

Pointing out that more than half
the families of America live in
rented quarters, James Twohy, gov
ernor of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System, today urged a pro-
gram to provide a majority with
homes of their own"
The 1900 thrift and home fnanc-
ing institutions of the system are
interested in changing this ratio in
favor of broader base of home
ownership said Mr.. Twohy. so
are builders and all other Ameri-
cans who recognize home ownership
as the bulwark of the Republic.
"A primary factor in determining
the extension of home ownership
is, of course, family income While
there isn't much we can do to affect
this factor, which is so stubborn
problem of our national economy,
except by our individual efforts as
enlightened citizens, we can do the
next best thing-bring better and
cheaper homes within the reach of
those of low and modest income.
Much already has been accom-
plished toward this end in the re-
duCtiOn of interest rates and all
financing charges. Even more is
promised in the stress now being
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-14
By JULIAN STARR, Jr.

What to do with small windows
will remain a problem as long as
architects include them in homes.
Small shades are fuSSy and Vene-
tan blinds to fit them are bunchy
and cumbersome because, despite
their small size, the hardware and
fittings are out of proportion. If
the windows are on the sunny side
of the house, however, some form Of
shade or blind is desirable.
The fiXed-Slat Venetian blind
shown in the accompanying illuStra-
ton is offered as sample solution
to the problem, particularly if the
other windows in the home are fitted
with Venetian blinds. The rigid
blind is not fastened to the window,
but stands inside the frame. When
light is wanted it is turned so that
the Stats admit a maximum of
brightness. BY merely turning it
around the angle of the Stats is
changed to shade the window.
When the little window is desired
as a background for a flower ar
rangement the blind can be removed
entirely, thus completing a versatile
cycle. Although few measurements
can be shown because each window
will vary in height and width, the
construction is simple and easy. The
base is scrap of wood inches wide
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-14

Then cut two slips of wood IL.
inches wide to use as guides in set
ting the remaining Stats.
How to Fasten Stats Explained.
The first Stat is fastened in place
with the half-inch bradS, two to an
end, and the guides are placed at
each end. The second Stat is pressed
down on these gides and fastened.
In this way the spacing and angle
will remain the same for all succeed
ing Stats.
Before the Stats are fastened in
the frame they should be dressed
carefully with sandpaper. Edges are
lightly rounded and any surface
roughness is removed. If care is
used in the assembly it would be
wise to paint them before they are
fastened in place. A temporary brad
driven in one end of each Stat will
make them easy to handle during
this process. They are first filled
with shellac and then given two
coats of enamel or lacquer of the
desired color. The frame, of course,
is painted at the same time.
A light sanding after the shellac
coat and after the first enamel coat
will make the final coat smooth and
glossy. False tapes can be added
after the blinds are completed to
give the effect of Venetian blinds
If desired.

ing with a solution made in the
proportion of pound of zinc sui
phate dissolved in a gallon of water.
This should be literally applied, and
time allowed for drying. The small
crystals that will then have ap-
peared should be brushed off. be-
fore the paper is put on. With this
it should be safe to paper within
month.
Cleaning Bronze.
Q. I find spots on a genuine
bronze statue that look like rust.
How can l take them off?
A. Those spots are not likely to
be from corroSion; much more prob
ably they are a surface deposit.
Try covering them with a paste
made by diSsolving salt in vinegar,
as much as will be taken up. and
thickening with flour. Leave it on
Tor an hour or so. and remove by
washing with clear water.
Joints in WaIlboard.
Q. The joints between sheets of
my plasterboard ceiling are very
unsightly. Could l fill them with
plastic paint?
A. The joints show up because
the sheets are moved by the set
tlement OF the building or by vibra-
