HOW TO AVOID
CONDENSATION
Moisture in Walls and Attics
of Homes Often Collects
to Form Ice.

The air we breathe contains GER
tain amount of moisture vapor which
is essential to our comfort and we'll
being. The warmer the air the NOSE
moisture it can carry. This moisture
vapor in the air is called humidity.
But excessive moisture in the air of
our homes during cold weather may
result in condensation in walls and
attics.
Strange as it may seem. this condition
occurs most frequently in up-to-date
houses of tight construction. In fact,
the problem of avoiding such conden-
sation troubles has become matter
of considerable concern to many new
home owners and prospective builders,
according to engineers at the U. s.
Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wisconsin.
When heated water is used in bath
rooms, kitchens, and laundries, some
of it is taken up by the air. In vapor
form it can during cold snaps easily
pass through the plaster and striking
the colder surfaces within the wall
condense, usually forming ice. Condi-
tons that cause condensation in the
side walls also occur in attics and
under roofs, modified more or less
by any ventilation that may be pro-
vided When the weather moderates
| the ice melts and drips from the roof
or moves down the wall resulting
in decay hazards, redecorating costs
and exterior paint failures. The Forest
Products Laboratory has devised econ
omical protective measures by using
material highly resistant to the pass
age of vapor. The trick is too keep
the moisture in the air of the rooms
instead of condensing inside of the
walls.
One of the best protective measures
for new construction is asphalt impreg-
mated and surface coated sheathing
paper, glossy surfaced, weighing 81
pounds per roll of 500 square feet
This barrier when located Immediately
under the lath and plaster resists the
passage of moisture while it is in The
form of vapor and therefore before il
has a chance to condense into water
For houses already constructed, paint
coatings on the plaster are helpful
Aluminium printing coats are best
though a good "sealer" and standard
wall paints are very resistive to vapol
movement.

WARN AGAINST
false CLAIMS

A warning was issued today from sell
ective service headquarters by Major
John H. Derrick, judge advocate gen.
erals department.
It seems that some men are making
false claims for deferment by mis-
stating answers to certain parts OF
their questionnaires. For example, a
Minneapolis local board reported re-
Gently that one of their registrants
stated on his QUESTIONABLE that he
was the sole support of his father and
mother. Suspecting that some OF the
statements were incorrect, the local
board called the registrant for a per-
sonal appearance before them, re-
minding the registrant that he was
under oath to tell the truth and that
he was subject to penalties unless the
truth were told. The board then
asked the registrant if he was salts
fed with all his answers. When con-
fronted with the information that
penalties could and would be exacted
for deliberately classifying his ques-
tionnaire. the registrant had change
Of heart and revealed that his father
had an income exceeding $1,000 year
and was, in fact, fully supporting the
registrant's mother.
Major Derrick stated that any de-
liberate attempt to falsify any part
of the information required on ques-
tionnaires would henceforth result ir
the filing of a complaint charging
perjury, which, upon conviction, carries
sentence up to five years in prison
or a ten thousand dollar fine or both
In brief, the warning is this: DE-
not try to avoid service by false OF
misleading information. Claims art
all investigated, and when such case!
are discovered, penalties will be ap'
piled swiftly and severely.

owners and builders to combine both
beauty and utility. The illustrations
demonstrate uses of color in the home
and shove how modern steel equip
