people living in the mountains who do
even more than this. They salt their

on for at least twenty-four hours The
modern Greeks likewise sprinkle salt on
their infants. but not so heavily.
This practice of sailing babies is an

u. ). H. A. Will Use
Metal Substitutes
In Housing Projects
Order Expected to Sove
$4,000 to 100000 Tons
Of Steel This Year

In order to conserve metals for
defense needs, Nathan Straus,
United States Housing Authority
administrator, last night directed
that substitutes for steel copper,
zinc and tin be used wherever pos
sible in the construction of U. S. H.
A. homes. 1t was estimated that the
order would save from $4,000 to 100,-
900 tons of steel this year.
Mr.. Straus wrote letters to all
housing authorities constructing
projects with u S. H. A. money tell
ing them to review the specifications
on projects already under way and
to change them to provide for the
use of substitutes wherever the prof.
ect has not gone forward too far
to make the change practicable. One
hundred thousand houses will be
affected.
The order followed a study by
U. S. H. A. in cooperation with the
Office of Production Management
which has been searching for ways
to save metals vital for defense.
One result of the order is that
the U. S. H. A. will abandon its
practice of using bronze plaques on
all its projects. From now on wood
or stone will be used.
Wooden cutters instead of copper
will be used on houses. Wood fences
and clothes poles will be substituted
for steel. For some items in a
house lighter steel can be used
than is now. In place of galvanized
iron, painted iron will be used in
order to save zinc.

Regional ConeIave

Workers Ending
ITO From District and
Nearby States Attend
Westminster Sessions

An address by DR.. T. Guthrie
Speers and the election of officers
today will conclude the conclaVe of
church school workers at Western
Maryland College, Westminster
Md, which has attracted ITO Off
cials and young people from the
District, Maryland and Virginia.
The meetings, sponsored jointly
by the District Sunday School As
sociation and the Y. M. c. A.
religious work department, began
last Friday.
At yesterdays session, the Rev
Philip Jones of New York City
led the forum of officers discussing
the building Of the modern Sunday
school. Young peoples discussion
groups dealt with what young peo-
pie could do for the church, home
neighborhood and world peace
These groups were led by the Rev
Theodore Miller, First Baptist
Church of Baltimore; the Rev. John
Ballbach, Metropolitan Baptist
Church; Mrs. Ballbach, the Rev
Harry Porter, Westminster Me-
mortal Presbyterian Church; Mrs
Porter, Miss Annabel Spangle and
Ralph Lewis, Miss Spangle pre-
sided at the candle light service
held last night.
DR.. Speers, pastor of Brown Me-
mortal Presbyterian Church OF
Baltimore, opened the worship
session Friday with an address in
which he declared that the world
today is in danger of being domi-
mated by the spurious religions OF
Naziism, Communism and Fascism.
The young people were divided
into two groups during Friday;
activities to discuss problems fac
ing them. Leaders of these discus
siCns were the Rev. Mr.. Miller anC
the Rev. Mr.. Porter. Officers anc
teachers held a retreat at the same
time, with DR.. Charles E. Beesel

was too big for the car. Even when
he finally finished the car he had
to take his shoes of and the steer
ing wheel of before he could get in.
We figured out way to beat that
mistake. I sat on the floor of our
basement and pretended I was really
driving my racer. Then Fred drew
a rough plan of the bottom of my
car on the floor with chalk. He put
marks where my feet would rest in
the nose of the car and where the
steering wheel and brake handle
should be. He also measured the
distance from the floor to the top of
my shoulders when I was In a driv-
ing position so we would know how
high the car should be.
Others Can Narrow Body.
At first, I wanted to build a car
just like Cliff Hardestys. He was
the boy who won in Akron in 1899.
But I found out that I couldn't
make it as narrow as his because
I was too wide. So, if any boys
want to make their car like mine.
they had better do the kind of
measuring we did because you might
be able to make yours even mar
rover than mine and that helps
YOUR streamlining.
Evening star., 1941-06-22

After we made this floor plan, I
got a big piece of wrapping paper
and made an actual-size drawing
Of the bottom of my car, with the
position OF the axles and steering
wheel drawn in. I made my axles
as far apart as possible because I
think the longer the wheelbase is
the easier the car will ride the
bumps. I think 1t also gives you
quite a bit more speed than a
shorter wheelbase.
Strong Bottom Advised.
I made the bottom OF my car
out of two 2-by-12 hard pine planks
nailed together. I used two OF
these planks in order to make it
heavier because I only weighed 100
pounds then. You should be real
careful to make the bottom of your
car strong so there won't be any
sag or sway in it.
I made my car as long as the
rules allow-90 inches-and I made
the widest part of my racer about
one-third of the distance back from
the nose. I made it wider there
than where I sat in the car be-
cause I could streamline it better
that way.

the House. Like the new frees
cape law, this appropriation would
call for more inspectors to super
wise work done with the money,
officials hold.
Under powers long dormant for
lack of such an appropriation, the
building inspector can order the
owner of structure to effect neces-
sary safeguards, but If the owner
refuses or delays unnecessarily. the
inspector can advertise for bids on
the job, pay the bill and the Dis
trict will collect the money from
the property owner when he pays
his next years taxes.
In cases where the building in
SpeCtor Is forced to take this step,
he must plan carefully and super
wise all corrections and possibly be
ready to answer in court whether
full value was received for money
spent, officials hold. The present
force of fire-escape inspectors is
far too small to execute such work
properly, 1t is held.

Relief May Be Needed
For Half Of 1900 ODue
For W. p. A. Dismissal
D. c. Welfare Official
Estimates $4,000
More Will Be Required

Acting Welfare Director Conrad
Van Hyning declared yesterday a
tentative appraisal had convinced
him that additional direct relief
funds must be provided for "at least"
half of the 1000 persons scheduled
for dismissal from District w. P. A.
Jobs the first week Of July.
While deserving final judgment
until he had obtained additional
data, Mr.. Van Hyning estimated
that an additional s672 900 tor di-
rect relief would be needed.
Even # a large percentage OF
these dismissed workers finally catch
on to jobs in private industry or
Government activities" he said, this
process will require many months" ."

Van Hyning Begins Survey.
Mr.. Van Hyning began a survey
of the problem yesterday at the re-
quest of Commissioner John Rus
sell Young after the commissioner
had conferred with Chairman over
ton of the Senate District Appro-
priations Subcommitte. From facts
he had in hand yesterday, Mr.. Van
Hyning said he anticipated that half
Of the 1000 dismissed workers would
be unable to find private jobs. Figur-
ing on the basis of s25 month per
family. he estimated the need for
next fiscal year on this basis would
be s672 900, including $4,000 for ad-
ministrative expenses.
A special meeting of the Board
of Public Welfare is expected to be
called for early this week to con-
slider data to be presented by Mr..
Van Hyning. However, his figures
also are to be presented to Com
missioner Young. and probably to

week
Data on Dismissals Asked.
Mr.. Van Hyning said he was ask
ing District w. P. A. officials to give
him data on the persons to be Sc
lected for dismissal, as to their age,
color, sex. experience, and skills or
ability. He plans to use this ma
terial in a closer appraisal Of ex-
pected relief needs.
The 1912 District appropriation
bill as passed by the House called
for an outlay of s950O0 for direct
relief in addition to sums for old
age and blind relief and aid to
dependent children.
Mr.. Van Hyning suggested that
probably good portion Of any addi-
tional relief sum would go to aid
dependent children, since many Of
the women facing w. P. A. dismissal
are supporting families.
