called a caulking gun. which will
force the compound to the bot
toms of all of the joints. You
should be especially careful in
closing the joints at the tops of the
window frames, but the other joints
are also important. Finish with
new paint outside and revarnishing
within.
Removing Wall Panels.
Q. In our dining room there are
shelves and heavy brown paper
panels on the walls. We want to
remove them, but are afraid that
the plaster will come off with the
paneling. How can the job be done2
A. Nails that hold the shelves
should be pulled out with care, but
even then holes will be left in the
plaster. These can be filled with
patching plaster. The paper is prob
ably waterproof and your first step
should be to cut through the sur
face with coarse sandpaper, wrapped
around a block of wood. Soaking
with water should then loosen the
paste, which would free the re-
mainder of the paper without in
jury to the plaster. Keep on apply
ing water, allowing time for it to
soak in, until the paper begins to
loosen by itself.
Removing Rust Spots.
Q. How can I take spots of iron
from white clothing?
A. You can get iron rust soap
at drugstore. Other removers are
lemon juice, followed by steaming,
covering the spot with salt, moist
ened with lemon juice and exposing
to sunlight. Repeat as necessary.
Note: Mr.. Whitman is sorry he
can no longer answer personal let
ters. He does. however, offer read
ers leaflets on variety of subjects
Today'S leaf1et deals with remov-
ing spots and scratches on the
woodwork. Be sure to send a Scent,
stamped, self-addressed envelope
with your leaflet request to Mr..

Home Institute Plans

Needless Costs
Bond Would Guarantee
Against Construction
Defects and Liabilities

As part of its broad program to
eliminate unnecessary home-build-
ing costs both for defense housing
and for the post-defense period, the
Home Builders Institute Of America
will investigate the possibility OF
the institute itself setting up a mu-
utal insurance plan for its MEM
bers, David D. Bohannon, San
Francisco, president of the institute,
announces.
Charles S. Wanless, Springfield
Ill, will be chairman of the COM
mittee appointed to study the pos
sibilities of the plan. Included in
the plan as it will be studied is
a maintenance bond to guarantee
against defects in construction of
houses built by members of the in
stitute over a stated period of years.
Included also in the plan is liability
insurance, both insurance against
injuries to employees on home-build-
ing jobs and public liability insur-
anCe
Insurance rates on construction
of small houses are now based on
the accident data for the whole
field of construction" Mr.. Wanless
points out. obviously and as shown
by experience the risk is definitely
less in home construction than in,
for example, skyscraper construc-
ton. The lack of distinction is
causing unnecessary cost to home
builder and buyer"
The new institute. specialized
branch Of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards, has been
formed to identify to the public
competent and reliable home build
ers. Charter membership will be
open until July l. Applicants for
membership after that date will be

Gov. Gruening Gets Wire from Washington Urg-
 ing Holiday Vigilance

Alaskans were warned to be on the watch for subversive and enemy activities during the holiday sea- son in a wire received by Gov. Ernest Gruening here today from Secretary of War Stimson.
 The telegram read
 The approaching holiday season is a period of increased danger from fifth column and sabotage activities, particularly on Christ mas eve, Christmas day and New Years eve. I request your coopera- tion in impressing on your law enforcement officers the importance of special vigilance during the hol- iday season. Surprises. and treach- cry are Axis weapons. We must an- ticipate and guard against their employment whenever the enemy might have cause to believe there is likelihood of relaxed vigilance.

CapitaI Buckles Down

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A Just when Washingtonians were con- vinced that the nations capital was becoming the world center of bedlam-war broke loose.
 It caught thirty-odd thousands of official and unofficial Washington at their Sunday pastime, watch ing a pro" football game. The news, ten minutes safter it was flashed over The Associated Press wires, reached a group of F.B.I. officials. It was called up over two rows of spectators by messen- ger who had taken a telephone call from headquarters. Like waves from a pebble in a puddle, the news circled the field.
 Within a few minutes the half was over and the stands were
 deserted by thousands as Army, Navy and other government Of- ficials rushed to report for duty.
 Lights went on in the early aft ernoon winter dusk in the White House, the State Department, OPM, the Army and Navy buildings, and many of the embassies-to be dimmed only by daylight.
 Light went on around the Jap- anese embassy too, but different kind of light. It was the flicker of a bonfire that rose from the backyard of the embassy on Mass achusetts Avenue as officials heap ed box after box of records and papers into the flames. The avenue became a glut of traffic, as the curious piled in to see what was going on. And on the roof, as long as the light lasted, son of Nippon took pictures of the crowd.
 Overnight, the capital, which
 heretofore has seen uniforms on only the non- commissioned of
 ficers and men of the armed forces, t0ok on the appearance
 of an armed camp as the thou sands Of Army and Navy off

JAP PLANES

Plane for plane, some of the Jap anese models compared favorably with the best we now have in the air, though not with the latest planes we have under construction For the excellence of their planes we can thank the appeasement pol icy which enabled them to buy des- igns and patent licenses from Am erican and British firms, though the Japs also secured certain models from Germany and Italy.
 The Jap Mitsubishi Mc-2O twin motored bomber is a dead ringer for our crack Douglas DC-2. The Jap four-motor naval seaplane, the Kawanishi AM, looks very much like the famous Consolidated PBY patrol bomber, one of which spotted
