day by economists of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board.
All types OF mortgage lenders
throughout the Nation reported 16,-

in January, February and March. as
compared with 1850 in the first
three months of 1910. March fore
closures numbered 5,683, or Is per
cent more than the short month of
February when the number was
1850. The March foreclosures, how
ever. were IL per cent fewer than
March, 1910, when there were 6,379
homes lost through foreclosure.
In the first three months of this
year the foreclosure rate was "a

Treatment Advisable
For PIustered Walls

When painting newly plastered
walls. 1t Is advisable to treat the
plaster with solution of zinc sui
fate-about two pounds to the gall
Ion. This will neutralize the free
lime present in the new plaster. If
the ordinary oil-base type of paint
Is to be used, a quart of good floor
varnish is often added to the first
coat applied after this treatment.
Subsequent coats may be brushed
on as they come from the can.
Types of emulsified resin paints are
now available which may be applied
to plaster that has not received the
zinc sulfate treatment. Casein
paints may also be used without
the preliminary coating.

Electric Outlets;
Siding and Roofing
Made Of Copper
BY HILsON MUNSEY.

One of the most serious deficien-
cies in the average home is in the
number of outlets for the electric
current. This is particularly true of
the older houses and to correct this
condition usually SIS a matter of con-
siderable expense and involves much
trouble and mess in the house. A
method of providing these outlets
without any serious expense or
trouble is quite possible.
A metal strip along the top of the
Dashboard in place of the molding
will supply all the outlets needed
These strips are properly wired in
the same manner as the regular out
let that is usually cut through the
Dashboard They are clipped onto
the Dashboard in place of the mold
ing and connected to a regular out
let by an ordinary plug just the
same as floor lamp.
The strips come in five sizes.
The one with four outlets is built
for wall 6 feet inches to IL feet
inches in length. outlets are to-
ward one end and evenly spaced
l8 inches apart. Another strip to
take the same length of the wall,
has a different arrangement of out
let's. There are two at either end
of the strip instead of all being
placed at one end. For six outlets
the strips are made for a wall
length OF feet inches to IS feet
inches, while for walls Is feet 6
inches to 81 feet inches there are
10 outlets.
All the outlets are 18 inches apart.
The strip can be painted any color
to match the rest of the woodwork
in the room.
A special three-foot strip with six
outlets is made for the kitchen so
that the numerous appliances that
are used in that important depart
ment of the modern home can be
easily plugged into the house cir
cult. This strip is placed above
Evening star., 1941-05-10

the working bench in the kitchen.
There is 80 feet of conductor cable
for the installation which gives
ample length to reach to practically
any available outlet.
These strips are put up in pack
ages containing one each OF flve
different lengths. Two OF the pack
ages should be enough for any ordi-
nary installation in the home.
Roofing and Siding.
Copper is one of the best materials
offered to the public for weather.
resisting roofing. Now it is made
also for siding although the same
material can also be used for the
roof as we'll. This material is made
over a CeloteX base so that in ad-
dition to being weatherproof it is
also an insulator and takes the
place of sheathing that is usually
used under shingle roof or siding.
The combined copper and Celotex
weigh less than three pouncs to
the square foot.
When applied to the walls or roof
the members make watertight
joints This is accomplished by a
slip sleeve arrangement-the thin
ner end of the beveled unit slipping
under the unit above for distance
| of three inches. This has the added
advantage of protecting all nail
heads and producing a smooth,
clean Joint in the roof or walls.
Copper is not the only metal
used in the. manufacture of this
material. Stainless steel and gal
vanized copper-bearing iron are also
included.
Copper as a roofing material has
been in use, of course. for several
hundred years and many of them
are still in first class condition.
This material is accepted as fire.
resistant and the cost is quite rea-
sonable. In considering the cost, of
course, the price OF sheathing and
insulation in the ordinary roof or
siding must be considered. This
copper-coated material needs
neither.
Many ColOrs and Finishes.
There is quite range of color
and finishes possible. The copper,
which is often preferred, makes a
soft brown finish which eventually
acquires a patina of soft green due
to oxidizH ton of the copper. 1t is
in harmony with Colonial, Cape

CREED OF AMERICA-BY FDR

President Roosevelt sent message
to David Sarnoff, president of the
Economics club of New York, which
is celebrating it's 134th anniversary.
In the message he said:
''The freedoms that we must and
will protect in the United States
are the freedoms which will make
democracy. In our American way
of political and economic freedom
go hand in hand Our freedoms
must include freedom from want,
freedom from insecurity, and free
dom from fear. | firmly believe that
we can best secure these freedoms
by government and private enter
prise working together for these
common objectives. In this joint
effort there must be provided prop
er reward for labor, proper incen-
tive for enterprise, and a proper
return to investment.
"Today the challenge which we as
a democracy must meet is the chal-
lenge to make the best possible use
of our vast resources, and to achieve
speedily, the common purpose, OF ma
tional defense and national prog
ress. 1t is a challenge to govern
ment, to labor, to industry, and TO
capital alike | have unbounded faith
that we shall succeed in this task.
The code expressed in those par
agraphs, diligently applied by all
concerned, would soon disbuse many
of the clouds of doubt, confusion
and uncertainty that now befog men
and women in all walks of our ma
tional life. 1t would work toward
that unity which is the key not
only to our democracy's preserva-
ton, but also its great growth and
future power for good in world
now torn by misery.
It's something for all of us, from
the President on down, to paste in
our hats-.and reread and reread
and apply and apply.-Columbus
Citizen.

ROBERT WYMER

Robert Wymer, son of Joseph
and Elizabeth Wymer, was born in
Morgan county, Aug. 20, 1858; died
Jan. 10, aged 80 years, five months
and 21 days He was married to Ida
Yarnell Aug. 27, 1885. To this un-
ion were born five chi.dren-Wil-
liam r., George W., and Mary L.,

sons he leaves his aged and devoted
wife; 10 grandchildren; three great
grandchildren; two brothers, Win
field Of GAINESVILLE, George Of Wheel
ing, w. Va, and a host of friends
and relatives. He united with Tabor
Christian church Aug. %, 1903, un-
der the pastorate of William T..
Newsom He was an active mem
ber while health permitted. He
served as deacon and for several
years was elder. Through all these
years he had been consistent in his
church membership. His religious
convictions were a guiding influence
in his active life, and a solace and
comfort in his declining years, but
now he has gone from church
terrestrial, to church celestial.
While seemingly unconscious for
while, he looked up and said, 81
am ready to go when he calls me. -
But he is gone pointing out to us
the road that leadeth to the Lamb
of God, who taketh away the sins OF
the world. Gone that where he is
we may follow, gone leaving tender
memories in the hearts of his fam
lily and friends. We should not
weep that his tolls are over for our
loss is heavens gain. He will be
missed in the home where he was a
kind and devoted husband and
father He has passed away, but
his kind, good will, like fragrant
odor fingers still, the tender lesson
memory brings, we learn to follow
the path he trod, to be more like
him who has gone to God.-XX.
