Hailed as One of
Years Best

Hailed by many as the most at

November 16. Visiting hours are
from 10 am. until pm.
The spacious, white-painted brick
house overlooks Rock Greek Park
in Crestwood, the community of
higher-priced homes which is near
est downtown Washington. 1t was
built by Paul P. Stone and Avon
Shockey. The architect was Ar
thur L. Anderson. Major master
pieces decorated and furnished it
completely, even to the large maids
room. Crestwood is a development
of Stone, Lord g. Caldwell
The beautiful home, on a large,
tree-dotted lot, was indorsed unani-
mously by the building experts who
comprise the Silver Star Homes
Committee. This group acts on all
applications for the coveted Star
Award. James S. Taylor of the Fed
eral Housing Administration is
chairman of the committee. Other
members include Irwin S. Porter,

Now that your heating system
has had a workout, you probably
are aware again of deficiencies that
troubled you last year. and may
be interested to hear about new
air valve, designed to help balance
one e-pipe steam heating systems
(balance means heating all rooms
evenly.
The special qualities of this new
radiator valve are that it is silent,
dry and will not drop or spill water.
1t has a dial which can be set at
any one of 10 different venting
speeds to achieve a controlled dis
tribution of heat to all rooms. Each
number of the dial represents a
change in venting rate so per cent
higher or lower than the next
number. When set at maximum,
the manufacturers assert it is one
of the fastest-venting valves on the
market. A coin or screwdriver locks
the vent quickly and easily into the
set position.
Shorter than the ordinary valve,
it fits the new thin radiators easily

New Order Creates
Ry JAMES Y NEWTON

The effect of defense priorities
on every phase of home building
and real estate will be chief topic
Of discussion throughout the big
convention in Detroit next week of
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. 1t is expected the
realtors will formulate a program
designed to alleviate the drastic
effect of priorities on their business
Home builders are hopeful pro-
gram can be worked out that will
enable them to continue in opera
ton and at the same time use no
more materials termed critical"
than the o. P. NJ says they can
An approach to this problem advo-
Gated by many is that the quantity
of critical materials used in a house
be the determining factor whether
it be given priority rating rather
than the price ceiling fixed by o.
p M. In this connection, it is
pointed out. it IS possible to build a
larger house to sell for more than
$4,000 which would use no more
materials of which there is a short
age than would be used in one to
comply with o. P. M. specifications

believed, they will not be able to

the proper approach. If such a
policy is adopted by the realtors,
1t is held, their pleas will fall on
deaf ears at o. P. NJ, for, so far,
priority officials have shown no dis

Rules
For Care
OF Ovens
BY ELEANOR ROSS

A RECENT article dealt with
the care of the top Of the
gas range, in order to save fuel,
keep the stove in good order
and improve cooking.
Just as important is the care
of the oven and broiler. for
which we now give some simple
but highly necessary rules and
hints. ---....-----.-------
The first precaution Is to use
moderate to low temperatures
when roasting meats. unless
otherwise indicated. The roast
will shrink less.
When making a berry or fruit
pie, insert a stiff paper funnel
in the pie center so that the
juice won't rise in ii and boil
over.
But should Followers and
spillage occur during baking,
wipe up as much as you can
Immediately with a heavy fold
Of paper towel. using care to
protect your finger tips.

wash the area or use fine steel
wool il the spot is stubborn.

Cleaning Ovens

To remove grease film or spat-
tiers from the porcelain oven
walls, when the oven is cool
wash them with a cloth wrung
from hot soapsuds, wipe with a
clean, damp cloth, and dry.
Remove oven racks and wipe
them Off, also wipe of rack
guides or slides.
While the oven bottom of a
modern gas range may be re-
moved for cleaning, if desired,
il must never be placed in
water, lest the asbestos lining
be impaired.
IL your range Is modern and
has a thermostat, yet bakes I'M
satisfactorily, the thermostat
may require rechecking. which
can be done by the gas company
service department.

Be Careful Of These

Telling crude stories.
Making oneself conspicuous on
the street, or anywhere else.
Accepting courtesies, with
never Thank you"
Rudeness to people who serve
you.
Not being courteous to older
mGople
Talking in a loud or I'M
pleasant voice.
Combing hair in public-at a
restaurant table, for example.
Cleaning nails in public.
Staring at people.
Habitualy walking in front
OF people.
Eating noisily - or with the
mouth open.
Leaving your cigaret smol-
dering in the ash tray. Using a
plate. or q saucer or cup, as
an ash tray.

Monopoli1ins Seats

Monopolizing a seat, on a
streetcar, in q bus. on a train.
For a man: not taking his hat
of in the elevator OF a hotel or
apartment house.
For a woman: holding H mans
arm, as they are walking to-
gether OF the street.
For a woman: not taking of
her hat In the movies.
Not writing prompt thank
you note for a gift or courtesy.
Asking inquisitive questions.
Never apologizing for a dis
courtesy or seeming discourtesy.
Being a human sponge-never
noticing when the check comes.
fumbling for a coin when there
is fare TO be paid, never pay
ing back money or anything else
that is borrowed.
1t might be good idea for
you TO watch your manners for

The BroiIer Pan

Never use the broiler pan a
second time without washing.
Both pieces should be clean be-
fore preheating, else the heated
grease will discolor these
pieces.
After using the broiler. re-
move the pan at once, other
wise the heat remaining in the
compartment will cook bits OF
food and fat onto the grid and
make IL difficult to clean.
Before the pan is quite cold,
remove fat with a paper towel.
then wash both pieces in hot
soapsuds.

YOU'VE SEEN The Little

Have you thought about the
meaning of that name? That
compelling title has sent many
people scurrying to the Bible, to
read, from The Song of Sol
omon": Beware the foxes, the
little foxes which may creep in
and destroy the vines"
Just as sly and undermining
are the little foxes that spoil
the vines of our good manners.
Like good gardeners, too, we
must constantly be on the look
out for foxes that will sneak in
and destroy what we have
planted.

Initials on Linen

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
1 am getting married soon.
and / have two problems about
initials. which I would be CRATE
full il you will answer.
]. / maintain that all linens
and silverware should have only
my initials on them. Am I
right?
2. Also. on my wedding ring,
is IT not proper to have my
maiden initials engraved? For
example. A. B. to c. D., the
latter being my initials.
I. Either form OF marking the
future brides linens and silver
is correct. This is a question
that the bride-to-be must decide
for herself. She may prefer as
you do, and quite correctly, to
abide by the convention that
used to be the unwritten law
that all silver and linens have
the brides maiden initials.
She may take the point OF
view Of many OF todays brides;
that having their linens and
silver marked with their maiden
initials will be confusing in their
new homes; that it Is more prac-
teal to mark everything with
their future initials.
As a matter Of fact, because
there is so much indecision
about this question, very often
thoughtful relatives and friends
refrain from having their we'd
ding gifts Of silver or linen
marked until they determine
from the bride-to-be which form
she prefers.
2. Yes, the initials of your
maiden name are used in the
marking Of the wedding ring:
A. B. to c. D., Jan. 20, 1871.
Very often the form A. B. and
G. d. is used. And sometimes,
for the date, only numbers are
used: 1.22.41.
