Leather Book BINDINGS
Need Special Care

Good books in fine bindings de-
serve the best of care. New ones
with fine leather bindings should be
treated with a good dressing to keep
their surface condition for years.
At least once year they should
have a good going over, and twice
a year. if they are new, would be
even better.
A good dressing for leather bind
Ing is as follows: All parts by weight,
Use 20 per cent neat's-foot oil, 10
per cent tallow, 3 per cent CASTLE
soap, II per cent pure gum turpen-
tine, so per cent distilled water.
Dissolve the soap in the water by
heating in a double boiler. Melt the
tallow in the neat's-foot oil in an
other double boiler. While both So
lutions are hot pour the soap solu-
tion in a thin stream into the tai
low and oil mixture, stirring thor
oughly until homogeneous, milky
white emulsion results.
After this cools to room tempera-
ture add the turpentine and stir
until thoroughly mixed. Keep in
a well-stoppered bottle and shake
before using. Apply with a soft
cloth to the binding. Let stay for
several hours and then polish with
soft cloth.

August Building
Contracts Here
Up IFS Per Cent

Washington construction had an
August contract valuation that was
l25 per cent ahead of the total in
August, 1910. Non-residential and
residential building and heavy en-
gineering construction had substan-
tlal individual increases.
H. A. Johns, the Federal news
manager of Dodge Reports, the
daily construction news service,
completed his monthly summary of
local activities yesterday. He en-
phasized that signed contracts for
materials and labor, the basis for
the analysis, are the most definite
indications that the projects con-
sidered will mature.
All contracts awarded in August
for building and engineering work
in the Washington Metropolitan
Area of the District. Arlington and
Fairfax Counties. Va, and Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties, Md. had a total valuation of
s15,045 .000 That includes 125 per
cent pickup over the $6,693 900 re-
corded in August, 1910.

See Priorities as
Death Sentence
For 80 Per Cent
By JAMES Y, NEWTON.

Faced with the prediction that 80
per cent of the builders in Washing
ton would be forced out of business
by regulations recently announced
by the Supply ALLEGATIONS and Pri-
critics Board governing the ration
ing of materials, several hundred
members of the Capitals home con-
struction industry last night planned
fight which they hope will ease
drastic restrictions so that families
in higher income groups here may be
supplied with housing.
The mass meeting of builders,
architects, building supply dealers
and representatives of home financ-
ing institutions, held in the United
States Chamber of Commerce Build
ing, passed a resolution which asked
priorities officials to make an eX-
ception of Washington and remove
the ceiling of $4,000, which has been
placed by the o. P. M. on new houS-
ing all over the country. 1t was
pointed out that the law of supply
and demand should rule, as the
Capital is city where conStruc-
ton and land costs are higher and
where the average family income is
greater than in other cities.
Committee Named.
The resolution was introduced by
Lewis T. Breuninger. prominent
home builder, and passed unani-
mously. A committee was named
which will work for the easing of the
priority restrictions. Named to the
committee were Fred A. Smith, pres
ident, Washington Board of Trade;
Charles c. Koones, first vice presi-
dent of the Washington Real Estate
Board; Leon Chatelain. represent
ing the Washington Chapter, Amer
lean Institute of Architects: Francis
G. Addison, jr., of the District Bank
ers' Association: w. N. Payne of the
District Building and Loan League
and Waverly Taylor of the Operative
Builders Association.
Mr.. Taylor called last nights
meeting as president of the Oper-
ative Builders. He explained that
restricting new houses to be built
here to a sale price of $4,000 and
under and apartments to a rent of
$50 and under would virtually wreck
the building industry, force hundreds
of operators out of business and
cause thousands of mechanics and
others employed by the industry to
join the ranks of the unemployed.
He presented statistics prepared for
the meeting by Rufus S. Lusk, we'll
known statlstician, which showed
that almost 80 per cent of the pres
ent house market will be wiped out
under existing restrictions on build
ing materials 1t was pointed out
that during the first eight months
of this year of the more than $500
houses started in Metropolitan
Washington, about 81 per cent will
sell for $4,000 or less. The average

All the talk about substitutes for

Spring Valley Dwelling
As House of Year

From six to seven thousand per-

Star Home at 3631 Forty ninth
street NV, as the Spring Valley
home reached the halfway point of
its exhibition period. Tomorrow the
structure will enter the third week
Of display.
Thousands jammed the massive
stone dwelling last Sunday. Many
in the crowd praised the home as
"the house of the year" in WASH
ington Certainly it is one of the
most popular ever shown under The
Stars Silver Star plan.
The new dwelling was built by
the w. c. & A. N. Miller De-

the country's outstanding urban
home areas. 1t was designed by
Gordon Mcneil and has been at

1t is set on a huge wooded lot. A
pleasant, rather formal garden is at
the back. Exterior walls of the
structure are of stone and half

Protecting Surfaces

Every house has surfaces unex-
posed to sight but nevertheless sub
ject to deterioration-such as the
underside of porches. While ap-
pearance is not a consideration in
such cases, protection is. A single
coat of paint will do much to pre-
serve these surfaces from decay.
