If Washington builders can con-
tinue to get materials, it is probable
that nearly $4,000 housing units will
be started during 194l in the Metro
politan Area. Part will consist of
Government defense housing and
slum clearance projects, but the vast
majority are being erected by prl-
vate builders.
At the end Of the first quarter of
this year. building was going along
at a rate of about 10000 dwelling
units annually. During the first six
months of l941, 1859 units have
been started in Metropolitan Wash
ington. And this is not quite the
total of all that are being built,
since there are some few in outlying
areas not covered by these figures.
The first SIX months of 194l ex-
ceeded the same period Of last year
by over 80 PEI cent.

Stained Limestone.
@. Limestone window sills are
stained by rain dripping from the
copper window screens. How can
these stains be removed?
A. Cover them with a paste made
of l part of sal-ammoniac and 4
parts of whiting, fuller's earth or
powdered chalk, moistened with
household ammonia. Allow to re-
main for day or two. Should the
paste dry quickly, moisten with more
ammonia.
Roaring Oil Burner
O. NY new oil burner makes an
abnormal roar. What causes this?
A. There may be any one of sew
eral reasons; the smokepipe may be
too large or too small, there may
be too much or too little draft, the
combustion chamber may be the
wrong size or shape, the nozzle may
be too large or the pressure too high.
You should have the installation
checked over by competent service
man.
ResiIvering Mirrors.
@. How can mirrors be resilvered? :?
A. There is no home method, for
the job calls for large heated tanks,
and chemicals and materials that
would be difficult to get Mirrors can
be resilvered through dealers in
plate glass at much less cost than
an attempt to do the work at home.
Charred Woodwork.
@. After buying our house we
learned that a portion had been on
fire. There is a burned and sooty
odor that, does not disappear with
airing How can we get rid of it?
A. That odor comes from charred
wood. Scraping off all the charring
is the best way to remove it.
Stained Cabinet Tops.
@. Tops of our kitchen cabinets
are black compressed wood, finished
with a sealer and waxed. They were
spattered with paint. which, al
though Immediately wiped of, left
unsightly gray spots. Nothing takes
them off. How can they be removed?
A. The effect of that spattering
was to remove the stained finish
from the cabinet top material. The
spots should be rubbed smooth with
very fine sandpaper, and then touch
ed up with black oil stain. Another
possibility is to color the gray spots
with black wax shoe polish, vel
rubbed in.

Planting Vines Will Make
Picture Against Walls

In the midst of summer, when all
your planting Is at full growth,
the vacant, forgotten points around
the house will show. Start vines at
these spots to make picture
against your walls, or to screen an
unpleasant vista, so that next year
all the unpleasant features will be
blotted out and all the good ones
emphasized.
Ivy in pots trained against a
delicate trellis or tied to pegs in
the wall will give you an immediate
effect, until a permanent growth
may be started. This does very well
in the shade, so if it is a blank
wall under a porch that troubles
youths may be the solution.
Flowering petunias or geraniums in
pots which fit into brackets may
make a piHure on an uninteresting
expanse behind flight of steps.
The brackets may be placed at
strategic points to make an interest
ing combination of color and vine
against a painted wall With grow
ing weather and interesting vine
and flower composition at hand
there is no reason why any bare
space should have to wait until
next spring.

May Shows Gain
In BUILDING Suvinqs

Savings, building and loan asso-
Citations and cooperative banks re-
ceived 218 per cent more money
from savers and investors in May
of this year than they did during
the same month of 1910, Paul Endi-
colt. Pomona, California, president
of the United States Savings and
Loan League, pointed out today. He
said the league has estimated an
intake of S91 675 900 for the month.
This May dollar volume topped that
of all except three months of 1910.
Mr.. Endicott said that the margin
of gain over the same month of last
year was considerably larger in May
than it was in April and that the
net gain after normal Withdrawals
from the savings and investment
accounts in the institutions repre-
sented a larger margin over 1910

First Aid
For the
AHing House
RY ROGER b. WHITMAN

I recently had minor tragedy IN
my kitchen when some paint re-
mover was spilled on the linoleum
floor and went unnoticed for sew
eral hours In that time the solvent
had eaten into the linoleum and
damaged it for a space as large as
a saucer. When the hnoleum had
been laid a year or so ago I had
saved some of the leftover pieces.
One of these was large enough to
cover the damaged place with ten
or twelve inches to spare all
around. This piece was laid on the
floor with the pattern matching and
using a sharp knife, cut was made
through it and also through the
floor linoleum. When the damaged
piece was taken out, the piece of
new linoleum just fitted into the
hole that was left. After SCraping
the old cement from the wood floor
ing, the new piece was cemented in,
and fitted so neatly that the mar
gins were hardly visible. The cost
of the job, including two linoleum
mats three feet square came to
three dollars. To anyone handy with
tools, this job is quite possible and
should be successful, especially if
the cuts are made along the lines
of the pattern. If matching linoleum
cannot be had, a contrasting piece
would be satisfactory. Linoleum
dealers carry ornamental panels
that make handsome inlays. Casein
glue can be used for the cement.
Damaged Finish.
@. A cloth soaked with rubbing
alcohol was laid on my dresser. All
of the varnish on a corner Of the
dresser top was taken off and made
stains on the scarf. How can this
stain be removed, and how can 1
replace the varnish?
A. The stain can be taken out by
soaking with lacquer thinner, to be
had at a paint or dime store. The
damaged dresser top should be rub
bed smooth with very fine sand
paper, and two thin coats of varnish
then applied.
Dry Heat.
our house, which has no basement,
get damp in cold weather when we
use a gas burning heater. Would
we have the same trouble with an
oil burning heater?
A. Oil produces drier heat than
gas. With any fuel, however, the
| heater should be connected to a
f1ue that would carry the vapors
outdoors Under that condition you
could burn gas without having your
walls get damp.
Rust-Spotted Carpet.
O. My broadloom carpet was
washed last week. A chair was
placed on a damp place and made
a rust mark. How can I take it out?
A. Anything that will take out the
rust mark may also take out the
color. You will probably find that
the rust is only on the tip ends of
the nap, in which case the rusty tips
can be shipped off with pair of
| nail scissors without harming the
carpet.
Putty on Steel Windows.
| ". is lnSIe any klllu Ol puIIy GlldJ
will last indefinitely on the outside
| of steel easement windows?
A. Yes. You can use good quality
caulking compound, or you can get
a special putty from the makers of
steel windows.
Marks From Metal Chairs.
@. I have metal chairs in my
kitchen, chromium plated, but find
that when I move them they leave
black marks on the linoleum. How
can this be prevented?
A. One way would be to wrap ad-
hesive tape one inch wide on the
metal parts that come into contact
with the linoleum. The tapes must
be renewed occasionally, but even

Subdividine important

Good subdividing means the ere
alton of real estate values through
devising layout which is not only
economically sound but provides to
the maximum degree those condi-
tions that make for pleasant and
restful living. The original cost, the
stability of values. and the whole
quality of living within the sub
division are affected by the layout
of the tract and the determination
of the manner in which it may be
used.
