In black or dark green but in an the
pastel shades as well as in white
These shades always have been
made by shade manufacturers for
use in hospitals and sickrooms and
In laboratories where light must be
excluded for testing or developing
photographs. They are effective
whatever their color. because the
shade fabric Is coated on both sides
with solid black and over the black

verdure green and white. or any
color you want, If you order it in
advance.
The shadowproof, lightproof
shades must be installed on the
face Of the window casing, with
lap Of 2 or inches on the wall
sides. They must be long enough
to reach 8 TO II inches below the
SILL so no crevice will allow light
to escape. Stock sized shades will
fit small windows; larger windows
must be equipped with specially
made shades.
The most popular size shade is
; feet wide and 6 feet long, which
can overlap on q window 20 to 81
inches wide and 5 feet 2 inches
or feet 8 inches high. They come
complete with roller and either eve

retails for SITS to s185. You might
use such shade in the rooms which
your family will want to keep lighted
during a blackout. and forget the
rooms which can be kept dark by
swapping out electric lights.

In War Plant Areas

r5ate builders operating under
the r. H. A. program produced more
than ITO, 900 new small homes dur
ing 1941 in war industry areas des-
ignated by the President as having
an acute need for additional housing
for war workers. Federal Housing
Administrator Abner H. Ferguson
announced today.
In many important industrial
regions where the stepup in war
production and employment created
an especially urgent need for addi-
tional war housing, private building
activity under the F. II. A. program
responded with increases ranging
from 80 to more than 800 per cent

Switch Plate Shields.
The rule IN blackouts is lights out
first, then pull down shades or put
up curtains before you turn the
lights back on. If this means cropping
for the electric light switches, after
you have plunged your home into
darkness, 1t also will mean finger
marked walls around the switches.
II you want to save yourself the
trouble of washing marks on walls,
why not protect all switches with
shields? They cost only 10 or IS
cents in single-switch size, Is or 20
cents in double-switch size, Is cents
in triple-switch size.
The shields 1T snugly over the
metal or plastic switch plate already
installed. Some are transparent. so
the effect of the plate is the same
even though it is protected against
tarnish and seiling. Others are made
in ivory, mottled ivory or dead white.
The shields are larger than the
switch plate, protecting . 11a-inch
border OF wall space around the
plate. There are shields for plates
containing pushbutton and one or
two convenience outlets, two push
buttons, two teggle switches, etc.
Any one can install them merely by
loosening the screws in the switch
plate and using the same screws for
both switch plate and shield when
the shield Is in place.
