of last year.
The large gain registered since
the first of the year, made during
a normally poor building seaspn,
demonstrates, Mr. Anderson said.
that new construction is tending to
outreach last year by a broadening
margin.
Expansion of private building In
areas affected by defense has been
encouraged. Mr.. Anderson said, by
the general policy of limiting direct
governmental construction Of hous-
ing under the defense program to
situations presenting excessive risk
or other conditions unsuitable for
private operations. The record here
indicates the contribution being
made by private builders and pri-
vate lending institutions operating
under the F. H. A. program to the
task of supplying housing for de-
fense workers.
For the country as a whole, Mr..
Anderson said, 108,207 new small
homes were started in the period
from July /, 1910, to February a,
1941, an increase of 31.8 per cent
over year earlier, when 81 2,088 new

will form the perfect design for the
beautifully matched table or chest.
Few appreciate the care necessary
and the great waste of expensive
material in producing the perfectly
matched suite or piece of furniture.
The construction or the laying of
veneers is really ancient. Centuries
ago the Egyptians used an adhesive
or glue with which to lay their ply
wood. 1t was a remarkable glue,
for moisture or heat or cold did not
affect it or the veneered piece. This
secret, along with their many arts,
was lost to mankind for centuries.
Persistent search and long years
of experimenting finally resulted in
it's discovery. During these years,
and even until recently, many types
of glue were used, among the fore
most being animal glue. None
proved to be the ancient adhesive,
since they would not stand moisture
or sudden changes in temperature.
Finally it was discovered, and it is
interesting to note that it is pro-
duced from vegetable matter, the
Javanese Cassava plant roots. Along
with this casein glue was the equally
important discovery Of the Tego
resin glue. Both have remarkable
adhesive qualities, and when used
correctly unite the wood together so
completely that the wood will break
long before the glue will give away.
These CLUES are waterproof and
are not affected by sudden changes
of temperature. Large panels which
are veneered will stay straight under
the S.ost adverse conditions. 1t Is
a rediscovery of the lost Egyptian
art. insofar as permanency of We

rather than to the low-cost house,
which is the presently most impor-
tant single market.
Already under preparation by the
institute is a proposed model State
act to protect the public against in
competent home building by setting
up minimum qualifications for oper-
ative home builders as to integrity
anad skill. A State licensing system
for home builders now exists in a
partial degree in California, Mich
1gan and the District of Columbia.
In Washington and in Michigan,
home builders selling directly to the
public are required to be licensed
under the Real Estate Licensing Act
In California there is special per-
missiye act for the licensing of
builders as such.
First publication of the institute,

Dental letter to be issued period
ically to members covering such
matters as the trend of prices of
materials, the trends of the home
buying market, the trends in legis-
lation and other advance informa-
ton which will enable members to
plan their production programs.
Committees of the association
shortly will be appointed initiating
these projected activities:
!. To cooperate with flduciary
institutions, insurance companies
and building and loan associations
in order to obtain greater adapta-
bility of home financing methods tc
the needs of the home buyer.

neers is concerned, for the works of
the ancients are as good today as
they were when made 5000 years
ago.
The building or laying of veneers
is an interesting process. First
solid board is selected as the foun-
dation and is called the core 1t is
never used, actually, as a solid
board. 1t is cut into narrow strips
and then glued together. This gives
it greater strength and it will re-
main straight.
Chestnut, poplar, gum and ma
hogany are used for core wood. The
core wood Is warmed to the proper
temperature and then spread with
glue. The first ply of veneer is
then laid with grain running op-
posite to the grain of the core wood.
This is repeated on both sides of the
core. For good veneered stock five
plies must be built up in this man
ner, seven plies for extraordinary
work. The last ply to be laid on
the back of the panel will usually
be good selection of straight
grain veneer The last ply laid on
the other side is known as the face
veneer. Here great care is taken to
select veneer with a beautiful figure,
a crotch or burl, since this probably
will be used for a drawer front or
panel. All this accomplished, the
whole panel is then placed in hy-
draulic press, with pressure of 100
pounds to the square inch. 1t is
left in the press for "a hours. until
the glue is thoroughly united with
the plies. Then it is ready for its
journey to be made into a piece of
furniture.

Home Builder Institute
Gets Plans Under WAY
In Several Activities
Manufacturers Reported
Ready to Cooperate in
SmuII-Home Field

Already we'll under way. the pro-
gram of activities of the Home
Builders Institute of America, new
professional branch of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
is outlined in a statement by David
D. Bohannon of San Francisco,
president, which indicates the re-
lationShip which this new body may
be expected to have to the imme-
diaite future of home production.
E. L. Grain of Houston, Tex, vice
president of the institute for the
South central region, has been ap-
pointed to head the institutes spe-
cial committee on important pro-
posed adjustments in regard to
F. H. A. mortgage insurance for
homes. The institute seeks ad-
justments that would more flexibly
take account of fluctuating building
costs and market conditions.
Important here, of course, is leg
islation now before Congress to Gre
ate new Title VI of the National
Housing Act, which would set up a
separate mortgage insurance fund
for insurance of loans on privately
constructed defense emergency
housing, including rental housing.
Simplifications Studied.
A committee of the new institute
is now being appointed to collaborate
with groups of manufacturers in
developing specifications of prod
ucts and materials used in home
building which will be more adapt
able to changing conditions and
which will reduce home costs. Man
ufacturers of building materials and
of the larger items of household
equipment have already indicated
their desire to work with commit
tees of home builders in order to
ascertain just what simplifications
would be workable and acceptable
to the family buying a small house
for home. Members of the insti-
tute will be invited to submit sug-
gestions and even detailed speci-
flcationS. The matter arises because
manufacturers and builders alike
realize that their products have
been keyed to too great degree
to the middle-or high-class-house

groove boards which have been
painted. What is the easiest and
cheapest way can cover these
boards so that I can paper the walls?
A If the walls are smooth and
level, fill all cracks, crevices and
nail holes with Swedish putty or
other crack filler, put on a coat of
size; then apply a layer of three
quarter pound dry felt. The surfaces
are then given a coat of sizing and
the wallpaper put on in the regu-
lar manner. If there is much con-
traction and expansion in the
boards. 1 should not advise wall
papering.

BY THE OLD CABINETMAKER.


Rotary-cut veneers are produced
on lathe. The log is held securely
in a frame which resembles a great
spindle. The log revolves against a
stationary knife which cuts or peels
the wood in great continuous sheets,
which are cut according to the
length desired. Huge stumps and
crotelus are cut in this manner and
produce the choicest in figure, which
are used for and called face veneers.
AS these veneers come from the ma
chine they are kept in the order
in the log so that when the process
of matching is done the sheets will
match perfectly. This is necessary
when used for drawer front or
table top.
Plain sawed veneers are cut with
a bandsaw, which saws from end to
end through the log. This is the
first and oldest method, which pro-
duces thicker veneer. The sheets
are difficult to handle and the waste
runs high. Only very small quanti-
ties are cut this way today. All
veneers are matched; as the sheets
are cut the adjacent sheet will
match the one next to it. These
sheets are taped together and cut
for the desired use. Even after the
sheets have been selected for a par
ticular piece of furniture it is not
always possible to use them because

Bombs Over Ireland
Philadelphia Record)

tPh1aQelpnla RecOrd)
 Ireland is fast losing it's desperate grip on the policy of neutrality it has pursued since the war began.
 Hopefully and earnestly, the Government of Fire sought to make itself the exception to that march of the Naz juggernaut which crushed one after another of the neutrals on the Continent Denmark Norway, Holland, Belgium, Rumania
 Bombs have been falling over Ireland Nazi bombs from identified Nazi planes The Govern ment of Fire has vigorously protested to Berlin.
 Will it also realize how impossible its policy of neutrality has become? How impossible it was, even from the beginning for nation virtually in the line of fire?
 Countries remain neutral in Europe only Ss long it suits the Relationships.
 If DeVaera should propose to allow Britain to fortify Irish ports it certain that he would be beaten at the next election by Cosgroves United Ireland party. He certainly would face increasing awlessness from the outlawed Irish Republican army
 To extremists in Ireland, England has seemed a greater enemy than Germany, because of Englands mistakes of the past Thus Engand has been reaping the bitter fruit of her past failure to deal wisely with Ireland
 At the beginning of the war there was joke about Irish official who said he had heard Ire land was neutral but hadn't heard whom it neutral against.
 The answer is clear: No nation in Europe can be neutral against Hitler
