can live in freedom and in equity
and, above all, without fear Of the
horrors of war. For no soldiers or
sailors, in any OF our forces today,
would so willingly endure the rigors
Of battle If they thought that in
another twenty years their own sons
would be fighting still another war
on distant deserts or seas or in far
away iungles or skies.
viii Profit by Mistakes.
We have prof1ted by our past mis-
takes. This time We shall know
how to make full use of victory.
This time the achievements of our
fighting forces will not be thrown
away by political cynicism and
timidity and incompetence.
There is still a handful of men
and women, in the United States
and elsewhere, who mock and sneer
at the Four Freedoms and the At
lantic Charter. They are few in
number, but some of them have
the financial power to give our en-
emies the false impression that they
have a large following among our
citizenry. They play petty politics
in world crisis. They fiddle with
many sour notes while civilization
burns. These puny prophets decry
our determination to implement
our high concepts and sound prin-
ciples. And the words of these
little men of little faith are quoted
with gleeful approval by the press
and radio OF our enemies.
we are deeply aware that we
cannot achieve our goals easily. We
cannot attain the fullness of all
our ideals overnight. We know
that this is to be long and hard
and bitter flght-and that there will
still be an enormous job for us to do
long after the last German, Japa-
nese and Italian bombing planes
have been shot to earth.
But we do believe that, with di-
vine guidance, we can make-in this
dark world of today, and in the new
postwar world-a steady progress
toward the highest goals that men
have ever imagined.
Must Never Relax.
| We Of the United Nations have
the technical means, the physical
resources, and, most Of all, the ad-
venturous courage and the vision
and the will that are needed to
build and sustain the kind of world
order which alone can justify the
tremendous sacrifices now being
made by our youth.
| But we must keep at tive must
never relax, never falter, never fear
and we must keep at it together.
We must maintain the offensive
against evil in all its forms. We
must work and we must fight to
ensure that our children shall have
and shall enjoy in peace their in
alienable rights to freedom Of
speech, freedom OF religion, freedom
from want, freedom from fear.
Only on those bold terms can
this total war result in total victory

The average size of household In

1910 census housing announced by
Director J. G. Capt of the Bureau of
the Census.
The average size of white
households was larger than the aver

owners had larger households than
tenants. These figures are based on
census returns that show the num-
her of persons who live In each occu-
pied dwelling unit. They include
not only related family members but
also dodgers, servants and other un-
related persons who regularly live in
the home.
There were more two-person
households in 1910 than households

You can put new windows In your
house, using very little war material,
for there is new window that elm
mates 95 per cent Of critical mate
rial. The victory" window has
counterbalancing weights made Of
iron-ore concrete In place Of cast
iron and pulley wheels made Of spe-
cially treated hardwood, with glass
axles mounted in wooden housings.
Instead Of metal weatherstrips,
this window uses q new weather
stripping principle, wherein the sash
automatically Is forced against that
part Of the frame known as the
parting stop by hardwood pressure
strips installed in the sash stiles.
This effectively checks infiltration,
it Is claimed, while the sash opera
ton is free and rafting Is prevented.
These substitutions Of non crit
ical for critical materials result In
20 much lighter weight windcY. Cri4-
sica1 materials for weatherStr1pbing
and counterbalancing have been re-
diced to less than I spodf1d for the
average -si1e window, as compared 70
approximately 20 pounds for weight
counterbalancing window.
The new windows cost about 20
per cent less than similar windows
Of the double-hung type produced
by this same manufacturer before
the elimination Of critical materials.

flat-topped factory and skyscraper
buildings, this mastic is not meant
for pitched roofs OF homes. Put It
instead on the finished floor OF your
attic, particularly If it is an unused
attic where no one would see q fire
bomb as it fell. Trowel it on, about
three-fourths inch thick. It dries
in II to "a hours. After that 1t can
be walked on, just like the roof Of
an apartment building.
# an incendiary bomb should drop
on this surface, combustion will be
retarded because Of the surface car
bonization Of the mastic. This car
bonization stops the spread OF fire
and insulates against heat passing
through to the infiammable floor
over which it is applied. Only the
top one-fourth to one-half inch Of
mastic Is carbonized in an area ex-
tending about to IL inches In all
directions from the incendiary, tests
have shown.
arIhe mastic costs about Is cents
q square foot. or about $50 for the
average attic floor Of 200 square
feet.
Stippled Walls.
II you are planning to redecorate
the walls of a room this spring and
wish to try doing a new job yourself,
why not stippled walls? They are
harder to do than plain painted
walls but allow room for artistic
expression by the painter.
Stippling is the application Of
paint to give pleasing texture In

Of an orange. To achieve this effect,

Painted Hangings Blend
Furniture With Walls

Many an ordinary room has been
made interesting by the use Of
hangings. The last few years has
seen the development of fabric and
hand-blocking to such an extent
that many textiles have the decora-
tive value OF fine paintings.
This one ellis the bill" for the
library with panel walls or the room
where distinctive wall treatment
must overcome deficiencies Of archi-
lecture. This piece has two dis
tinct scenes which are most inter-
esting used together, but might be
used equally well framed for two
sides of room.
In many q rented house or apart
ment the walls are of q color which
does not harmonic with the new
occupants furniture. With crafts
men at minimum, refinishinR of
walls is practically impossible and
it is up to the tenant to do the best
he can for himself. Often q wall
hanging is the solution.
Hung behind large sofa, against
a monotone wall, the wall and sofa
are blended by the use of a fabric
that combines both the furniture
and background color. with many
others, In an interesting pattern.
Immediately a color scheme which
was too far apart in contrast is
brought together by correlating

New Building Valuations
In Area Double al Data

Valuation Of construction during
the first half Of 1e42 In the District
and nearby States, including East
ern Pennsylvania, Southern New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia, was almost double the to-
tai for the corresponding period Of
last year, accordingsto j. T. Little,
district manager OF Dodge Reports,
the daily construction news service.

tracts awarded, as reported by the
Dodge field stan in this area,
amounted to $6o9, ,3o7, 900, an In
crease Of $250, 0,556 600 over the first
half OF ls4l.
Although residential building
showed . substantial increase over
last year, the main gain was IN nom
residential and heavy engineering
construction. Residential building,
which includes barracks and hous-
ing for war workers, jumped from
$165, ,154, 900 last yeAr to $226, ,335 600.
Non-residential construction In
creased sharply. rising from $140,-
670,0 to $21S,824, 900. Heavy en-
cheering construction, which in
cludes utilities and public works
projects, rose from $50 2,927 900 to
$l64, IN, 900.
The figures show that, during
June alone, the valuation OF con-
struction contracts awarded WAS the
highest for any month so far this
year. The June figure for all con-
struction was $144,843.000, a $45,-

Paint for Awnings

II awnings have not been painted
before, dust the surface and apply q
coat Of thin glue size to the side Of
the awning that is, to receive the
paint. To make the glue size dissolve
one pound Of glue in about three
fourths of 4 gallon Of water. Add
one ounce of alum which has been
previously dissolved in hot water.
Apply the size while still warm, using
wide, fiat brush. In thinning the
paint for the awnings it is con-
sidered much better to use boiled
linseed oil instead of raw.

Method Of FINISHING
Gold Frame Described

To refinish gold frame you
should first sand with very fine
paper and apply high-grade gold
size. When the size has partially
dried, but Is still tacky, apply the
best-quality gold bronze by dusting.
After allowing this to dry for
several days, finish with thin
coat OF pure-white shellac greatly
reduced with denatured alcohol.
This should keep the bronze from
furnishing for many years.

To Remedy Sticky Floors

II floors become sticky after re-
painting, the reason may be that all
traces Of wax or oil were not first
removed. Very often this sticky
condition can be remedied by spong-
ing over with weak solution OF
ammonia and then refinishing with
. thin coat Of freshly cut shellac.
II no sickness is apparent, you may
apply a coat OF regular floor varnish.
