New officers Of the congress will
be installed, with Leon Chatelain,

ing of the Executive Committee it
was agreed that a total effort should
be made to help smaller firms par

1t also was decided at the meeting
the Building Congress should inves-
tigate public and private projects
which can be constructed after the
war. Property owners were urged
to continue plans to take up the

Prefabricated House
Is Often Superior,
Magazine Reports
War Has Given Impetus
To System, Declares
Architectural Forum

Prefabrication is revolutionizing
home building methods, the Archi-
tectural Forum magazine states in
its current issue, which is devoted
to new ideas in home design.
The publication said today's prefab-
ricated structure often is better in
quality than houses erected by
handcraft methods. 1t was added
that the present shortage of skilled
labor gives an advantage to ma
chined house parts. .
"The war has given a tremendous
impetus to mass-produced housing"
the Architectural Forum declared.
Entire towns have been built as a
single construction operation, en-
ploying the most efficient field fabri-
cation techniques. Prefabrication
plants are working at capacity-and
expanding their capacity--to meet
Government orders for war housing
Post War Dividends Seen. .
"The home-building industry is
acquiring a vast reservoir of ex-
perience in advanced methods of
construction which will have an
enormous effect on postwar produc-
ticn. For in a good many ways
the small house sums up what we
are fighting for. ..,,-
"One measure of the current
stature of prefabrication is the
1882 war housing units costing
$220,0O0,00O thus far allotted the
prefabricators. Another is the great
variety of war needs being served
by prefabricated structures"
Two types of prefabrication are
currently in use. The first method
by which complete house is manu-
factured in a factory and ther
shipped, in some cases several hun
dred miles, for assembly and erection
at the site, has proven completely
practicable.
The second method, a modification
of factory fabrication, involves set
ting up a temporary production unit
at or near the site. Here, under a
structure frequently as simple as q
canvas tent, standardized floor, wall
and roof panels are produced by ma
chine and house ready to be lived
in is erected in five or six hours.
Labor Cooperation,
Building labor, which at one time
resisted the prospect OF prefabrica-
ton, is showing complete co-opera-
ton. The erection of the houses is
normally handled by AFL union!
and the fabrication of the house
parts is usually handled by CIO

Use Of Wax 0bviafes
Sticking Windows, Doors

After siege OF hot damp weather
many householders fret over the
windows which cannot be opened
and the door that demands a wreck
ing crew before 1t can be budged.
Swelling OF the wood and the ef-
feet OF heat on paint are responsible
for most of this. There are numer-
GUS small tricks which will obviate
most of this annoyance. g.,
A coating of paste wax rubbed
around the door frame will make
opening and closing it easy. AS the
wax wears off it should be renewed
There is also a small waxlike stick
which may be purchased in most
IS and los" that is handy to use and
is equally effective in place of the
wax for windows and dresser drawers
that stick.
If the windows are stuck closed
insert chisel or the ends of a small
tack hammer, as a lever, just above
the middle sash. Be exerting a little
pressure the sash may be eased away
from the frame which binds it and
when it is freed the use of wax will
prevent its sticking again.

There never has been such
thing as "camels hair" brush, says
G. o. Rowland in the publication
Painter & Decorator. Canael's hair
would be much inferior for brush
making purposes to the squirrels
hair which is generally used. sable
hair" brushes are actually made,
from Russian "kolinsky" although
fitch" which is just common skunk
hair, also is used.
However. bristle brushes are actu-
ally made from hogs bristles. Dur
ing the present wartime, type
of brush for general painting
purposes is made from mix
ture of bristles and horsehair,
which, when properly cared for
gives satisfactory service. Eleven
different lengths of bristles are used
in the making of a first-class all
bristle paint brush.
New paint brushes Of the type
made of a mixture of horsehair
and -bristle to meet wartime require
