MONTREAL, Nov. Art Thomp-
son, versatile wingman and center,
who felt he would not be recalled
by the Washington Eagles this sea-
son, may develop as one of the East
ern League champions key per-
formers.
Imported from Port Colborne late
last season, Thompson had few op-
portunities to display his hockey
prowess and left Washington under
the impression he had failed to stir
the enthusiasm of Coach Redvers
Mackenzie.
He was correct in the assumption,
for Mackenzie admits Thompson
probably would not have been re-
called if players hadn't been hard
to get. In exhibitions, though,
Thompson has been playing bril-
liantly and Mackenzie now says, II
don't know whether I'll play him at
wing or center, but I'm confident
he'll deliver wherever he plays"
Mackenzie hoped to complete his
15-man squad today by the signing
of Steve Alberts, q wing, and Albert
Tilson, center. Alberts Is expected
to sign shortly. but Tilson first must
obtain his release from q Canadian
club.

Scars Over 1910 Rate

Privately owned construction ac-
tivity in the Washington metropol-
itan area during January through
April advanced beyond the same
1910 months and had a valuation
margin of nearly $4,000 900 over
the total for the public projects.
H. A. Johns, the Federal news
manager of Dodge Reports, COM
mented that "the healthy condi-
ton of the private construction
business in this area should be
point of pride for all of us. Nat
urally some part of this business
can be attributed to the defense
program. but the normal sources
are providing an increasing volume
of business"
The materials and labor contracts
for private work in the Washington
metropolitan area moved up to
S38, 100000 during January-April in
a u per cent upswing over $22,-
148, 1000 in the 1910 months.
An average four-month increase
of A per cent above the corre-
spending private construction con-
tract-value in 1910 was announced
by Dodge Reports for the 81 States
east of the Rocky Mountains. The
Washington area exceeded that
average.

modern blessing they can enjoy part
of its benefits without the cost.
A combination of screen and storm
sash can be installed and thus might
be of benefit both in the winter and
the summer. The frame of this
combination is permanently fast
ened to the window frame on the
outside while the removal of the
screen and the insertion of the
glazed substitute for winter Is done
from the room. This does away
with the dangerous and unpleasant
job of changing the screens each
year from the outside, mounted on
a ladder.
At the bottom of the frame is
ventilator that will take care Of the
supply of fresh air when the glazed
unit is in place for the winter. The
frame is fully weather-stripped and
that means reduction in the fuel
bill during the winter that seems so
far away and unimportant just now
but which will surely return on
schedule in a comparatively few
months time.
The frame construction is welded
and the fastening arrangement for
the screens and storm sash is very
simple. 1t consists Of a fiat piece Of
metal attached to the frame and
inside that tightens the screens
into place and it has a ring on it for
ease in applying.

1t is also possible to buy screen

bronze screening with a salvage for
extra strength at the sides. At the
top of the window frame is a bracket
which tightens the screening against
the frame of the window. These
screens are very light, weighing
about three and a half pounds for
the average window All that is
needed for their installation is a
screwdriver. They admit the max

be easily unfastened at the bottom

Show Gain Over 1910

That 462 per cent of the popu-

League. In 10 States containing

when 1t Is necessary to clean the
windows. 1t takes a few seconds
only to remove a screen entirely and
it can be slowed away for the winter
in a very small space.
There are screens that can be
permanently installed on the inside
Of the window and that will roll up
for the winter months without any
christening or storing at all.
These screens fasten at the top of
the inside frame of the window in a
housing and they have some ad-
vantages that appeal to the ordinary
housewife. For window cleaning
they can be easily rolled up all that
is needed is the pressure of the
finger. Being on the inside, the rain
will not spatter through the screen
ing and make ugly marks on the
window pane. Another thing is that
they can be rolled up when the win
dow Is closed so that there Is no
interruption of vision through the
glass. These screens can be used
with any type window. They can be
