Proves Valuable
with the advent of the ma
tIonal emergency, the momen-
tum established during these
formative years proved OF great
value In stimulating copstruc-
ton OF urgently needed war
housing, financed by FILA
insured loans," Ferguson de-
clared.
Since July l. 1910. when the
need for such housing in the wal
production are as first became
critical, private builders operating
under the FILA program have
undertaken the construction OF
approximately 100000 new homes
Ferguson pointed out. All but q
small proportion of these have
been located in the war industry
areas presently designated by tho
President as having critical neeC
for war worker housing.

Expert Describes Fine
American Tableware
BY ELEANOR ROSS

Give your table settings a pa
triotic air. We do not mean, OF
course, that your table color
scheme should be red. white and
blue. What we do mean is to use
with pride the delightful new
china and glassware of domestic
origin. and point out TO your
friends what fine work our manu-
facturers of tableware are doing,
All of the merchandise we have
seen, from the low price brackets
up, compares favorably with for
mer imports from Europe, except.
ing. Of course. those from the very
greatest houses.
But such famous china and
glass doesn't enter into the calcu-
lations of the average housewife
III you go shopping for new china
this autumn you will be hard put
to il to make selection among
the many fine domestic wares.
Charming salad sets and plates
the brightly decorated type that
used to be imported from Europe
have been duplicated in our do
nestle kilns and are available al
very modest prices. There are sets
done with those solid glazes that
characterize the high priced mod
ern sets and there are exquisite
colors and patterns, including the
good old styled floral and fruit
designs and decorations. also some
very new and modern ideas.

but very lovely, is a shadow print
in delicate blue and gray, with a
shell edge.
For those who have a yen for
an deliberately fine set, many of
the leading houses are offering
beautiful sets for four, which are
from open stock and can be re-
placed or added to at any time
for some years. These sets are
usually in basic patterns that have
stood the test of time.
Such an arrangement, like that
Offered by our leading silver
smiths, enables the house-proud
woman to build up additional set
tings.
Glassware continues to improve
all the time, with every house of
fering lovely complete sets, as well
as individual pieces, also regular
Istemware. There are exquisite
colors in some of the luncheon
sets, and if you've never had
glass set, now is certainly the time
to achieve one.
Those we have seen lately are
bound TO turn luncheon or supper
into feast, for they will add so
much beauty TO even the simplest
appointed table.

Aids Private Capital

During the early years Of the
program. Ferguson pointed out.
the FILA plan OF loan insurance
was largely instrumental in re-
opening the private capital market
for home financing. in stimulating
a. sharp revival in new home con-
struction and in making possible
a large volume OF needed repairs
TO home properties which had been
deferred during the depression
years.
At the same time, the FILA
program made available 10 home
buyers the most liberal financing
terms in history and encouraged
the building industry 10 concen-
trate on production of moderate
priced. well-planned small homes,
which would be within the buying

Furnace in Summer

II is wise to have the furnace
serviced in the summer before the
service man becomes rushed in the
fall. Vacation time is as hard on
your furnace as when it works,
say Iron Fireman engineers. In
the summer the basement is damp
and cool, and the moisture causes

Q-What type OF paint would
you advise that I use In coating
the walls and ceiling of a photo
graphic darkroom?
A-Since moisture will often be
present, and not infrequently
chemical fumes as well, il would
be best 10 use a tough paint that
will stand up under such exposure
A heavy lead-and-oil paint or g
good grade of enamel should be
used. II would be best not TO try
mixing the paint yourself, but &c
buy a ready-mixed preparation
You will find. in examining the
paints carried by your dealer, thai
certain ones are made especially
to be proof against fumes anC
moisture. Some, indeed. are made
TO withstand great heat as well.

Joint Applications

The joint applications will be
processed entirely in the field BY
FILA offices and by the regional
offices of the National Housing
Agency and the War Production
Board. The preference rating as
signed by the WPB to approved
projects will apply equally to the
materials needed for the utility
connections and to those nee
essary for construction Of the
buildings.
Heretofore. applications cover
ing the necessary utilities were
entirely divorced from those COW
ering the housing. The utility
applications were submitted indie
pendently by the companies ex.
pected to service the project and
were filed in Washington rather
than in the field offices which
processed the housing priorities
There was thus no assurance that
the utility extensions would be III
place at the time that the housing
construction was otherwise COM
pleted and available for occu-
pancy.
The new co-ordinated procedure
was worked out by the power
branch of the War Production
Board in collaboration with the
WPB housing priorities branch
and federal housing agencies.
Improved Method
This improved method for
handling war housing priorities
will assist the private building
industry to proceed with plans
for fulfilling Its share OF the
overall war housing program"
Ferguson asserted.
Schedules worked out by the
National Housing Agency call for
the construction by private build
ers Of approximately 10000 per-
manent family dwelling units to
meet part of the essential needs
Of immigrant war workers during
the next II months, the commits
Sioner pointed out. These dwell
ing units, he said, must be so
designed as TO effect maximum
economics in use OF scarce war
materials, both in their utility
connections and in the plan and
type Of construction.
