May Day Bridge Luncheon at
Club is Brilliant Success
FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1941

Long to be remembered among
the outstanding parties in the Or
ganization's history, the Ten Thou
sand clubs May day bridge lunch
con Thursday was a brilliant sue
cess, nearly 200 women attending
and enjoying every moment of the
delightful afternoon provided for
them by the board of directors and
the section chairmen and members.
Since the party took place on the
first day of May, May day of course
was the theme and the decorations
were really beautiful. In the center
of the room a tall May pole rose
from a square bed of petunias, love-
ly masses of pink and laVendar
Streamers in the delicate pinks,
blues, green's, yellows, and laven-
dars, radiated from the pole to the
walls, making graceful canopy
of pastel colorS.
Each table was centered with a
May basket in one of these shades,
tied with 2 matching bow and filled
with skillfully arranged flowers in
harmonizing hueS. Clever hand
made tallies repeated the May pole
theme.
Large May Basket
On the stage was huge May
basket in soft green, shaped like a
picture hat with frilled brim, its
crown containing literally hundreds
of flowers in the same soft pastel
colors as those in the Maypolc.
The whole effect was that of a
lovely May garden party, this illu-
sion being heightened by the color
full spring frocks worn by the guests.

Following the service a reception

bride and bridegroom. Individual
ice cream wedding bells and hearts
repeated the bridal theme in the
refreshments.

Woods Differentiated
As Regards Filler Use

When finishing floors, staircases
and woodwork in your new home,
remember that ash, beech, birch.
CHEEKY, maple and elm are hard
woods of close grain and do not re-
quire wood filler in the finishing
process. Southern or Georgia pine,
though classed as hard and close
grained wood, requires a liquid filler
for a fine finish. The soft woods
that should be dressed with a liquid
filler are Eastwood, cedar, redwood,
poplar, cypress, Douglas fir, larch,
spruce and the white, sugar and
western yellow pines. Oak, chest
nut, mahogany and walnut are
woods of open grain. These call for
a paste filler. applied in accordance
with the instructions on the can.
After a quarter of an hour or more,
the excess filler should be removed
with a coarse cloth, rubbing across
the grain of the wood.

Urban Building
Gains Is Pct.
In Nine Months
49,, 900 New Units;
Biggest Volume in
u. S. Since 1929

During the first nine months OF
this year construction was started
on 493,00 new dwelling units in the
urban areas OF the country, gain
of Is per cent over 1910, the Labor
Department reported today. A con-
tinuation of this pace in the last
quarter of the year would mean
erection of about $4,000 homes for
the entire year.
These figures furnish an indica-
ton of the effect Of o. P. M. pri-
ority restrictions on the home build
ing industry. Defense officials have
announced that priorities would be
granted for erection of 100000 low
cost dwelling units in defense areas.
A third of these are to be built with
public funds. the remaining two.
thirds by private builders.
Cuts Volume of Business.
When it is considered that price
maximum Of $4,000 has been set by
o. P. M, it may be seen that the
size and cost of the average house

than is currently the case. Hence
the volume of business in the build
ing industry will be cut much moro
than the above figures indicate.
The Labor Department reported
that 82053, or II per cent. of the
493 900 houses started in the first
nine months of the year were fin
anced with public funds. This shows
that another huge cut will be made
in activity Of private builders, since
the o. P. M. calls for a third of the
approved housing to be supplied
by public subsidy.
, A further breakdown of home
building figures shows a valuation
of S1,75l 100000 for the housing
units started in the first three
quarters of the year. The home
building volume for this period was
greater than for any entire calendar
year since 1929 with the exception
of 1910. During all of last year

Thousands of Persons
Visit New Project
In Lundover Hills

A large crowd greeted enthusi-
astically The Stars presentation
last Sunday of two low-cost Silver
Star Homes in Landover Hills, Md.
More than 5000 persons already
have visited the houses. which will
remain open for inspection through
Sunday. December 7.
The little houses, just of the
Defense Highway in Prince Georges
County. were packed with visitors all
day Sunday. Crowds have been
sizable all week. Motorists may
reach the houses by driving out
Bladensburg road NE, past the Dis
trict line to the Peace Cross. Turn
right on the Defense highway and
continue ~ miles to Landover
Hills. The houses are at 1928 and
4235 Seventy-first avenue. a street
which intersects with the main
highway.
One Cottage-Type Home.
One of the houses is of the cottage
type, designed along Cape Cod Co
lonial lines. The other has two
stories. The cottage has four rooms
and bath. with an unfinished attic
which could be made into two addi-
tional bedrooms. The finished floor
has living room, kitchen, two bed
rooms and bath. The two-story
home has living room, dining room
and kitchen on the first floor. with
three bedrooms and bath on the
second.
The houses we're built by Meadow
brook, Inc, of which Monroe War
rem is president. They were de-
signed by Robert o. Scholz. Both
houses have been attractively fur
nished with moderately priced
pieces. Furnishing and decoration
were supplied by Palais Royal, under
supervision of Verda W. Woods.

Silver Star Homes Committee in
dorsed the Landover Hills houses

the Federal Housing Administration
is chairman of the group. Other
members are Charles c. Koones,
president of the Washington Real
Estate Board; Edward H. Rosen-
garten, builder, and Irwin S. Porter.

usual interest here in low-cost de-
fense homes, The Star decided to
depart from customary Silver Star
procedure and show the public two
different types of small homes.
Livable Homes.
IT Is interesting to find out how
attractive and livable a small in
expensive house can be when serious
thought has gone into its planning
and good taste selected its furnish
ings. The Silver Star selection is
all of this.
The six-room house is amazingly
large though 1t does not appear so
from the outside. A comfortable
living room with stairway rising
from 1t and four windows is bright
and roomy. The walls are papered

design which is carried through into

LOCAL CUARDSMEN
 FAIL TO QUALIFY
26 Ordered Rejected Be. cause of Physical Con-
 dition; Defective Teeth

Announcement was made yester- day by Captain William W. Deadly of the second battalion that 28 mem berS of the companies stationed at the armory have been rejected for active military duty, and will be rec leased within the next day or two.
 It was disclosed that most of the men rejected have unsatisfactory teeth. The army requirements in this respect are very strict, since one of the important needs of sol- diers on march is that of eating hard foods. The men relieved are in no way to be considered as unfit, 1t was stated. Most of them will find jobs waiting for them in private in- dustry upon release.
 The loss of this group to the l02d infantry means that the total to leave for Camp Blanding is reduced to approximately 400 men and ofl- cers.
 Community club representatives from all sections of the city were guests at yesterdays noon day din- rier in the arinory. Following theh dinner, the group was escorted about the premmises and saw the men at drill. An inspection of the mems quarters was also made.
 Final preparations are in progress for the entrainment of the advance detail tomorrow night. Seventy-two men and officers are scheduled to leave from Union Station at 2:06 G. m. Saturday morning.

 WOOL LOOMS UP GOOD
 New York, March 7-(UP)-The awarding of army contracts this month will swell thrilled orders of wool piece goods to the highest lev- els since 1918, the New York Wool top exchange service said today.
 The wool piece goods market was quiet during the past week but pric- es on moth cloths showed a tenden- cy to advance. In addition, the ex. change reported, mills fear further advances In wool prices, passing their belief on the prices now being paid In some of the western states.
 Easter Is falling two weeks later than 1t did last year and the trade Is looking for sharp increases in pre- easter distribution of wool apparel. Meanwhile, the exchange said, retail trade in mems clothing is running considerably ahead of year ago.
 The exchange survey reported continued shortages in spring fab- rics; gabardines and coverts were almost impossible to locate. Most of the spot business during the past week in mems fabrics went to job- bers who happened to have supplies. Demand for women's wear fabrics continued active.

City Court Prosecutor Michael !. oalullo today amplified his re- marks of yesterday on the proposed city bond issue of $2,000,000 for water Improvements. MT.
