construction cost of apartment
units was almost $4,000, and only a
handful of them will rent for as
low as $50 a month.
Scores Voice Protest.
Mr.. Lusk said there are about
5000 builders in Washington and
predicted that about 30 per cent of
them will have ito close up shop
Thousands of building mechanics
and laborers will be idle. He pointed
out that building workers cannot
easily adapt themselves to other
lines of endeavor.
Scores of builders rose at the meet
ing to voice their protests of the
rigid priority regulations. One
building and loan executive said
that of the $50 home loans made by
his firm in the last year. only Is

Several speakers pointed out that
housing is needed here for families
of higher incomes as well as low
and that thousands of persons who
are employed in defense work de-
mand better house than one which
sells for $4,000. The substance OF
the meeting was as Mr.. Taylor put it.
I'VE should provide housing fo1
every one, large or small, who comes
to Washington to contribute his part
to national defense"
Mr.. Taylor said that to follow the

and frame-was something else
again. Fortunately, bedsteads and
hangings and early counterpanes,
quilts and coverlets are about all
we care TO collect today. But
imagine finding an original sack of
cat-tails! Shades of our fore
fathers!
Today we are privileged, through

Sheraton Exquisite.
The Sheraton four poster has ex-
quisitely shaped and reeded end
posts. The head posts, usually hid
den by the hangings, are plain.
This device of two fancy and two
plain posts is quite common in the
elaborate beds of the Colonial and
early Federal period. However, DR.

the Chappell bed was assembled

vate builders cannot supply needed

Completion Assured.
The meeting supplied a measure OF
relief to many builders who have
been worried by the possibility they
will be unable to complete higher
priced homes already started. MIR.
Taylor said he was assured that
some sort of rating will be worked
out so that materials will be mace
available for higher priced homes
which have been already started. 1t
may take some time to obtain ma
terialS necessary to finish the ex-
pensive jobs, but they will be avail
able in reasonable time.
Defense officials are dealing with
the construction business differently
than any other heavy industry, it
was stated. Automobile manufac-
turers were told they would be per-
mitted to produce a percentage of
the cars which they built last year
They were not told they could only
make a certain type of car in a spec
ified price range. The building in
dustry has been told critical mate
rials will be made available only for
houses to sell for $4,000 or less or for
apartments to rent for $50 and under
in defense areas. Builders feel they
should be limited in number of units
in various price ranges rather than
by price ceiling for the industry all
over the country.
Realistic" View Advised.
Lawrence E. Williams. chairman
of the District of Columbia Defense
Housing Committee. urged the build
ers to shelve selfish interests when
they go before the o. P. NJ. to ask
easing of prioritieS restrictions. He
said the problem should be faced
realistically" and that the only
sound argument which can be used
| for raising the price ceiling of homes
| here is that land values are greater
than in other cities. He suggested
that builders who wish to continue
operating in higher cost field
study and make use of substitute
materials for those which o. P. NJ
! has put on the critical list.

say on beds was prompted by the
inquiry of reader of this feature in
Washington. This gracious lady
very rightly asserted that nothing
much had been written about beds
and that this important article of
furniture deserved some mention. 1t
deserves more than mention. And In
saying that we make a promise
soon to have something more to say
and more pictures to present-on
this subject. And as to bed covers,
that is a story all its own. When the
time comes to speak of them we shall
