Brightwood Citizens
Given Petition for
Better transportation
Association to Confer
With CopitoI Tronsit Co.
On Serving Section

A petition bearing $50 signatures,
asking additional transportation IA
cilities for the section between
Georgia avenue, Sixteenth street,
Madison and Whittier streets NV,
was presented by Miss Gertrude M.
Robinson last night at meeting OF
the Brightwood Citizens Association,
The petition suggested a rush hour
express service similar to that on
Thirteenth street to accommodate
the large number of people in the
new area.
In a discussion of transportation
problems, it was pointed out that
the Fourteenth street car line of the
Capital Transit Co. could be ex-
tended northward to the Walter
Reed Hospital grounds and this
would provide the necessary relief.
The matter is to be presented to
the company through a special
committee, consisting of Charles w.
Ray, president; Elmer johnson and
John Clagett Proctor.

Linen Closet May Repeat
Bathroom Color Scheme

AS the linen closet is so often in
the hall adjoining the bath, it is
wise to repeat the bathroom color
scheme so that decoration and &C
cessories will harmonic. The de-
lightful shelf Innings and bandings
are now available in colors to make
the closet attractive. Linen closets
should be planned as the rest of the
house, according to the use that is
made of 1t.
If small children will be reaching
and rummaging for towels, select
gayly printed percale and calico
that will be washable. If yours is a
household of adults under care of a
neat maid, you may decorate the
closet in quilted satin or chintz,
ribbon bands and sachet pads, and
make your linen closet your pride
and joy.
Above all. plan it so that it may
be immaculate at all times. Moth
ing is more discouraging than soiled
or dusty trappings that are too Or
nate. Better to settle for simple
washable things than to indulge in
elaborate accessories that take more
time than you have to give to keep
| them presentable.

can have electric ignition added to
that if you want one refinement,
and for complete automatic opera
ton it can be equipped with thermo-
static control and continuous elec-
trio ignition.
Generally these little heaters are
located in a central location like the
front hall, so that heat will pass up
and through all parts of the small
house. With the more elaborate
types you can install dual wall regis
ters so that more even heat distribu-
ton is obtained. The heaters are
made of sturdy welded steel for
maximum life, and are equipped
with a highly efficient vaporizing
oil burner which is said to be the
only one of its kind which will burn
inexpensive No 3 oil. All of the
proved safety devices, including a
so-called thermo-limit control valve
which automatically prevents over
heating
For more complete "alr condition
ing" you can have an automatic
humidifier installed at small addi-
tional cost, and if you want to OBJ
tain a supply of domestic hot water
a heating element is easily added.

as efficient as a Dutchman's finger
in a dixie. Furthermore, to prevent
this flooring from coming loose from
its moorings it is put down with a
new type of waterproof adhesive
which defies the tides" which for
merly caused you SO much trouble.
Comes in Form of Tiles.
The tiles, for this linoleum does
come in the form of tiles, are in
two sizes. 9 by 9 inches and 8 by
IL inches. The border material
comes in a size 18 by 36 inches. A
variety of colors is, of course, avail
able, so that the floor can be
selected which will best fit in with
the scheme of decoration which you
have selected for the room. The
colors are marbleized in a distinc-
tive fashion so that finished
floor has an air of ruggedness as
we'll as beauty.
Heaters for small houses are be-
coming amazingly simple in design
and construction, so that even the
smallest homes are now able to en-
joy the many advantages of auto
matte heat without spending much
more than the cost of the ordinary
old-style hand fired heater. Instead
of building them of heavy iron of
gigantic proportions the new heat
ers are compact. efficient little
things that generate world of heat
and send it where it will actually dc
some good.
Take, for instance, new oil heater
which has met with an enthusiastic
reception from the builders of small
homes in large quantities. Instead
of being placed down in the base
ment, this heater needs no basement
at all, and is placed in the floor OF
the first floor with only a decorative
grille showing above, and the heater
mechanism hanging down between
the Jolsts. In this way great deal
OF expensive installation work is
eliminated and the whole unit is put
in place in a body with only an
electric connection to be made, and
a pipe run to nearby flue.
Made in Two Sizes.
Made in two sizes with an hourly
B. T. U. rating of 10000 for the
smaller and 10000 for the larger
these cleverly designed heaters will
supply automatic heat if desired, or
they can be installed with manual
control. In fact, number of COM
blnations are obtainable. If you
want to control it yourself without
a thermostat it can be put in in its
simplest form. even with manual
lighting of the Oil burner. Then YOU

Worlds Largest
| Private Housinq

This coming spring will see the
completion of Parkchester, the
worlds largest housing project
financed by private capital. This
project, situated in New York about
a half hours subway ride from Radio
City, is not slum-clearance prof.
ect, but a towering group of 81 indiv-
ual apartment buildings ranging in
height from 7 to l3 stories, and cov-
ering 80 city blocks. 1t is designed
to house a 42.000-person community.
Begun in the autumn of 1899, the
painting of its 42.464 rooms, handled
by one contractor, represents an i'm
posing contract of approximately
Evening star., 1941-01-18

$4,000 900, requiring 100000 gallons
OF interior paint. Approximately
ESQ painters have been employed on
the average, although the number
has occasionally mounted to $50 to
meet peak requirements. The work
OF decorating has gone forward at
the rate of about 900 rooms per week.
In addition to the paint, $4,000 tons
OF structural steel, 110,00O,OOO bricks,
$500 steel easement windows, 18
acres of linoleum, 100000 square
feet of hardwood floor blocks and
% miles of window shades were used,
bringing the bill for supply materials
well over $27 100000.

Planning Helps
Late Shoppers
Select Presents

Despite incessant reminders to
"shop early" last-minute shoppers
win crowd the stores the day or two
before Christmas In mad search
for gifts.
When there liz little time left 1t
IL best to sit down and think over
the problem before leaving the
house. This sounds paradoxical, but
far more can be accomplished by
spending time planning than by
rushing around a store without any
idea Of what Is wanted.
A little ingenuity will disclose
countless presents that can be ac-
quired with a minimum Of time.
Simple combinations of articles
make admirable presents. For ex-
ample, II the friend is a camera
addict, combine several rolls Of film,
food lamp and few flash bulbs
into an attractive package.
II is inadvisable to hastily select
monogrammed or initiated station
cry for an inveterate letter-writer.
A very welcome present can be
made by enclosing book Of postage
stamps in an extra-nice box Of plain
stationery.
These are just two Of many COM
binations which will satisfy the need
for last-minute presents. II you are
too tired or too busy to employ even
this simple device there are still
several other practical remedies.
Fill in that subscription blank for
your favorite magazine that has
been around the house, and wrap a
current issue in an attractive car
ton with note explaining that there
are IL more to come. Only be care
full that the friend does not already
subscribe to the magazine or your
present will lose a good share Of its
interest.
Another welcome gift can be Sc
cured at the last minute by tele-
phoning the local theater for few
tickets. Then write little note,
preferably in rhyme, and include il
with the tickets.
A little ingenuity win disclose
countless presents that can be ac-
quired with a minimum Of time.
BY all means don't buy things
that come in sizes unless you are
sure of the size. And don't buy q
gift that may have to be exchanged
unless the store will exchange the
article willingly.

Llnoleum floors can be kept
fresh and bright with regular
coats Of varnish. Moreover, var
nishing much-used 1inoleum about
twice year preserves the colors
and prevents the grinding in Of
dirt.
A drop Of perfume on an electric
light bulb will scent the whole
room.
Casserole dishes made Of meat,
vegetables or fish can be cooked
in the morning and reheated just
before they are to be served.
Potatoes bake more quickly il
placed on the broiler instead Of
the floor Of the gas oven, and the
flavor will be much improved by
quick baking.
Remove the little black line in
shrimps before using them. The
line is the intestinal tract.
Dry atmosphere and high tenn
perature are the two biggest diff
ficulties in growing house plants
Unless you have good heating
system, which gives you air
conditioning, it's necessary to put
evaporating pans on the radiators
to increase the humidity in the
house, SO that plants will do their
best.
Toasted nuts are very good
served on ice-cream sundaes,
buildings or frozen desserts. Try
toasted almonds or cashews with
chocolate mint sauce on vanilla
ice cream.

Post Office Auctions
Gifts Lost in Mails

Uncle Sam will soon make profits
by selling Christmas presents sent
through the mails, but he would
much rather deliver them-and he
would, if he knew where they were
supposed to 60.
American people are so rich and
in such hurry that they don't even
take the pains to see that their gifts
sent by mail are properly wrapped
and addressed. OF course, all are
not careless about it, but the post
men do have a hard time during
the holidays.
Extra mail clerks receive millions
Of dollars in wages, and a good
share of this extra force is kept busy
handling poorly wrapped and inn
properly addressed packages. Many
thousands Of Christmas gifts will
be sold because they contain no
clew concerning their sender or the
intended destination. The ''unad-
dressed department of the inquiry
section Of the post Office in large
cities resembles a warehouse.
Some gifts cannot be held long,
such as alligators from Florida, live
chickens, turkeys, or fruits. These
are quickly sold and the sale price
held in fund which is ultimately
turned into the treasury. When all
efforts have been exhausted, the un-
identified and unclaimed packages
are sold by an auctioneer.
