Lester J. Steele of Holden e.
Reaume's industrial department. is
member ef-the- especial commits
tee of the Society of Industrial
Realtors which has been sum-
moned to Washington this week
for parleys with federal officials.
The committee is to confer with
heads Of governmental agencies
upon the use which can and should
be made of existing industrial
plants in expediting the defense
program.
Unnecessary construction Of
new plants now would not only
delay the defense program, but
would create a future unfavorable
industrial real estate situation in
cities all over the country, Walter
S. Schmidt, Cincinnati, president
of the Society of Industrial Real
tors. declared Saturday.
The Washington meeting is ex-
pected to deal not only with pres
Eent problems of industrial plant
use, but with the whole long
range problem of industrial plan
ming and location.

.. and A.

o. want ceiling height book
shelves I'm my new house. Can
you help me in the planning of
these shelves?
Adjustable book shelves
supported by pins at the end of
the shelf are desirable. These pins
are usually spaced one inch apart.
vertically so that variety of
shelf heights is possible. Shelves
need not be more than eight or
nine inches deep unless large
books are to be housed. Shelves
are usually made of three-quarter-
inch material and should not ex-
coed two feet six inches in
unsupported length. Since shelves
below a two-foot six-inch height
are not very convenient, the
space below this height might be
made deeper if desired to accom-
modate large books lying fiat.
@. I once read somewhere a
suggestion that the walls behind
built-in bookcases be painted I'm
dark colors. What Is the reason
for this?
A. The use of dark-colored paint
on the walls behind bookcases
tends to reduce the contrast be-
tween the color of the books and
the back wall. 1t harmonizes the
appearance of rows of uneven
hooks
