Auto Repairs Due

manager of the Mobilgas station,
and too many motorists are get

been avoided. Managers of auto
dealers service departments esti-
mate that as high as 81 per cent of
car repairs are due to the failure
of the owners to give them proper
periodic maintenance, regular in
spection, regular oil changes and lu-
brication. Our annual check
ups called Winter -proofing in the
FALL help to avoid conditions which
often lead to costly repairs and re-

Indianhead Project
Is Test Of Future
Homes
Pre-fubrieuted Houses
Put Up or Token Down
In Few Hours

A proving ground" which does
not shudder to the shock of explod-
ing shells is a by-product of the de-
fense movement that may result in
lower cost homes for Americans.
1t Is the Governments defense
housing project at Indianhead, Md,
80 miles down the Potomac from
Washington, where q naval powder
factory is boosting its production
capacity. How the Public Buildings
Administration is providing homes
for new workers there through pri-
vate enterprise is described in the
September issue of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Review.
I'm these days, when time ables'
are all important, construction
schedules have usually been meas
ured by weeks or even months. but
not so at Indianhead," the Review
says. I'm the short span Of six and
one-hah hours workmen tore down
q completed home-transported the
parts a distance of 80 miles-and
then reassembled the pieces, making
the house ready for immediate oc-
cupancy."
Indianhead, a 650-unit undertake
ing, differs from the orthodox large
scale building project in that the
houses are "pre-fabricated"-that is,
assembled on the site from factory
built sections or panels and de
mountable," capable of being taken
down and reassembled on another
location with a minimum loss of
materials, equipment and time.
THE aim of pre-fabrication, OF
course, is to reduce costs through
mass, factory-like assembly lines
and specialization" says the article.
"Demountability, new principal in
house construction, may make it
possible to adjust the supply of hous-
ing to immediate local needs and
avoid the danger Of the boom town
of today becoming the ghost town OF
tomorrow. In timing the process of
taking a house apart officials found
that it requires about three hours
Salvage value for this demonstra-
ton was estimated TO be between 81
and SO per cent.
Contracts for the $50 houses at

Wood Used Chiefly.
Some Of the dwellings will be de-
tached houses, others with common
rear walls. Wood is the predominant
ing material, although metals and
composition materials are also being
tested. Total cost of the houses, ex-
cluding land, will range from $4,000
to $1,000.
II tests such as Indianhead prove
that costs can be cut appreciably
through more economical use of
labor and materials, the market for
new homes will be appreciably
widened in future years.
''The feature Of accountability
incorporated in some of these houses
becomes an additional safeguard for
both purchaser and the institution
that finances the home" according
to the Review. THE element of
mobility can be useful in maintain
ing proper balance between the
supply of and the demand for living
quarters, because If one community
faces shortage while another area
has surplus, the transfer of suffi-
cient units to relieve the situation
could be accomplished. Further,
from the standpoint of the home
seekers it is conceivable that this
same mobility factor would help to
remove the hesitancy of many work.
