THE new Du Pont House Paint
L not only starts brilliantly
white, but it stays white longer.
1t is "self-cleaning'! 1t forms q
tough, durable film which protect.
the surface from rust, rot, or de-
cay. Like all paints, it collects dirt
on exposure to the elements As
time goes on, however, a fine white
powder forms on the surface of this
new paint. This powder is washed
away by heavy rains, carrying the
dirt with it and exposing a fresh
white surface. Usually this SELF
cleaning process starts after q few
months of exposure under normal
conditions of weather, but may be
delayed under unusual climatic OF
dirt-collecting conditions. Because
the "self-cleaning" process is grad
ual, the wearing qualities of the
paint film are not abnormally af-
iected.

date Congress appropriated S17500 that
he might light the Capitol grounds.
Evidently the successful lighting of
the Senate Chamber had won valuable
friend for Mr.. Crutchett. for soon after
ward the Intelligencer tells us:
1T is gratifying to observe the prog
ress which has already been made by
Mr. Crutchett and the Workmen acting
under his direction in preparing the
splendid gas lights which are to illum-
mate the Senate, the hall of the House Of
Representatives, and the extensive and
beautiful grounds attached TO the Cap
itOl We yesterday saw Mr. Jacobs and
other mechanics busily engaged on the
granite ana brick work of the large gas
works in the area of the northwest cor
ner of the Capitol. We learn from Mr.
Crutchett that he expects to complete
his operations for lighting the Capitol
with gas in about six weeks"
Another item OF interest the writer
found, dated June g. 1847, has this to
say:
The long recess Of Congress is the
time in which Improvements and altera-
tions in the Capitol are usually made
In the present recess the Improvements
intended are more than usually worthy
of notice. MI. Crutchetts gas lantern,
to be placed on the dome, is of course
the most prominent.

often heartbreaking. because landlords

How could life be made more bearable
during those lengthening absences OF
the fleet?
Miss Wilson invited a group of Navy
wives to talk things over. They said
they wanted to sew. They needed to
know more about money management.
They were hungry for cultural pro-
grams Miss Wilson wondered why the
facilities of the 50 Army and Navy "Y'S,"
unused by the service men until late
afternoon, couldn't be made available
to their wives during the day. AS an
experiment, a day nursery was set up in
a gym where IS Navy tots were tended
by volunteer nurses While their mothers
relaxed. A housing advisory bureau was
established. Experts were engaged to tell
how to live happily on s54 or $50 &
month.
Popular demand created classes in
Spanish, stenography, tipping. The fruits
of this effort looked so good that Miss
Wilson was sent up and down the At
lantic and Pacific Coasts to help solve
the problems of service families. AS
result, more Navy wives clubs were
organized. Soon. a big get-together was
arranged of Navy chaplains. sailors

lem-husbardly jealousy. Many said
their husbands were so jealous that they
objected to their participating in social
activities of any kind. To overcome
this, it was suggested that the chap

their OWL social opportunities away from
home, so they would realize that their
wives need wholesome diversion too.

Glasses in consumer education have
always been popular. Just now first

subject for study. Many young wives
are active in Red Cross work.

camera clubs. Vaudeville shows OF
member talent and bake sales are well
liked. Sometimes scores OF young
children are parked in single nursery
while mothers get acquainted with one
another and enjoy needed recreation.
Between April and November OF last
year the Navy wives clubs in San Diego
alone distributed 157 layettes, made
2,749 sick and social calls, began l49

distributed $4,000 in welfare work, a
