what more serious declines than
estimates that have been issued
by Office of Production Manage
ment. and may, with fair safety,
be taken as minimum figures for
next years anticipated activity.
Commenting on the 1912 construc-
ton outlook Thomas S. Holden,
president Of F. w. Dodge Corp, said !:
The overall statistical picture in
dicates a generally good construc-
ton year. Direct construction for
Army. Navy and air forces, defense
plants, warehouses and storage de-
pots, defense highways and defense
housing will appear in large volume.
Increased defense construction,
however, is offset by fairly drastic
curtailment of non-defense activ-
ity. Recent orders OF S. P. A. B. and
o. P. M. have the effect of chan
neling a controlled program into
specialized types of projects largely
confined to defense areas.
"Non-defense areas will appar-
emily have little more than repair
and maintenance work; many men,
bers of the construction business
will not find work on defense prof.
ects and some manufacturers of
metallic building products will have
severe curtailment of output. The
impact OF all-out defense upon the
industry will be most unevenly dis
tributed."

1920 Construction
Outlook Seen as
Generally Good
Greatest Dollar Volume
In Post-Depression Period
Except 194l Forecast

The dollar volume of construction
in 1912 is likely to be greater than
that Of any post-depression year
except l941, according to F. w.
Dodge Corp. in statement issued
today. Estimating that the recorded
total OF contracts In the 81 States
east of the Rocky Mountains will
approximate $6,130 ,000,000 during
the current calendar year, Dodge
anticipates a 1912 total of 81, 1876, 900, :
900 or better. This 1912 estimated
total. If attained, will exceed that
Of the year 1910 by fair margin.
The 1912 estimates do not include
any figure for an enlarged land
army cantonment program although
the statement explained that such
a program might be launched almost
any date; since the Dodge estimates
were made up, a new Army appro-
priation bill, including large item
for cantonments, was introduced in
Congress.
Estimated declines from l94l OF
% per cent in dollar volume of non-
residential building, of 40 per cent
decline in dollar volume of resi-
dental building, and of 36 per cent
in heavy construction investment,
result in an overall estimated dol
lar volume decline of 80 per cent.
While the residential building de-
cline in dollar volume is estimated
at 40 per cent, the decline in family
dwelling units is estimated at only
27 per cent; residential building in
1912 may be expected to consist
almost entirely of low-priced units

in the statement, indicate some

The putty for this work is a

Is about the time of year the
scratches and marks show up in
halls, around the edges of living
room rugs, and in bedrooms.
Don't be old-fashioned about the
material you use for refinishing
wood floors. There are new trans
parent penetrating floor finishes
which not merely put new surface
over the old wood but actually sink
into the pores of the wood and be-
comes part of it. As a result of the
deeper and denser wearing surface
thus applied, floors do not scratch
so easily.
Older types of floor finishes,
which rest on top of the wood, aC-
tually take all the wear of traffic
and so are likely to chip off more
rapidly than if they share their
burden with the tough oak or maple
underneath. say the makers of the
new penetrating finish If the floor
itself takes some of the wear, it Is
bound to protect the surface some
what, lengthening the life of the
finish, they contend.
To prepare previously shellaCked
or vanished floor for the new finish,
first remove the existing finish by
applying a good paint and varnish
remover; wait until the floor is
dry; sandpaper lightly to open the
pores; dust off any loose particles.
then apply the new finish.
The finish hardens the wood
floor surface, preserves it, brings
out the natural beauty of the wood
granting and requires no sanding
after application. Oil stains may
be blended with the transparent
liquid If you want color in the
floor. After preservative has dried,
1t should be waXed.

that he can keep his front lines
