Declaring it is seeking to avert

market due to an oversupply. Of
housing, the Home Builders Asso-
citation Of Metropolitan Washington
will resume its fight on the Senate
side of Capitol Hill next week for
amendments to the pending Lanham
bill, which would allocate $50, 900 900
for emergency war dwellings in the
Washington area. The bill passed
the House Wednesday.
The bill as it now stands was Wig
orously attacked by members Of the
association attending an organiza-
ton meeting of the Washington
division Tuesday. The views OF the
group were set forth in q statement
sent to every member Of Congress.
The association feels that unless
the appropriation is confined to
temporary, demountable shelter
units and limited to those earning
$4,000 a year and less private initi-
ative will be discouraged in its
efforts to cope with Washington's
acute housing shortage. They also
feel the bill would create more
housing Of this type than there will
be a demand for after the war.

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

Most heating methods are very
destructive of fine panelling and
woodwork. and by the end Of the
winter the whole house shows the
ravages Of heat and dryness. When
the air Is hot and parched, life is
drawn from the woodwork. II the
house is damp, wood absorbs the
moisture, causing windows and
doors to stick and furniture to
swell and warp. Humidifiers help a
great deal, but woodwork welcomes
,rejuvenation by q little attention
this time of year.
Finish brings out the beauty of
woodwork and is also its protection
against wear and deterioration-so
that it Is most important to know
which of the finishes, varnish, wax,
oil, paint or enamel has been used
to close the pores of the woodland
the best method of care for each Of
them. The definite dressing which
combines best with each of these
guardian finishes Is the one which
must be fed back into the surface
to preserve the cells which have
been dried out by excessive heat.
Varnish Needs Little Care.
The slippery top Of a vanished
surface needs little attention to
keep it in good condition. A coat
ing of wax to prevent wear from
removing the varnish and exposing
the wood Is all that is necessary.
A very thin coating of wax used
very often, with q sti1 polishing to
bring up the luster, Is the ideal
finish for all vanished panelling.
Wrap your flannel polish cloth in q
block of wood to save the effect Of
hard wear on your hands and get
the maximum polish.
Hard woods, especially those Of
open grain like oak and chestnut,
show their rich beauty best with an
oil finish. Continual feeding with
equal parts of raw linseed oil and
turpentine. whenever the wood looks
thirsty will keep the surface at its
best and able to Withstand the
hardest wear. Lght-colored woods

Though private building is ex-
pected to decline sharply, expendi-
lures for new construction in the
United States this year viii reach
q total Of $10,750, 900 ,000-the high
est dollar volume of construction
since, 1928, Labor Secretary Perkins
estimated today.
The gain in war construction will
more than offset the decline ex-
pected this year in private opera
tionS and defense public works,
she predicted.
More than $4,000, ,00o, 600, or so
per cent. Of the 1912 construction
total will be Federally financed

gram" Secretary Perkins said. I'm
1941 similar expenditures were
50 800 900 900 and accounted for only
81 per cent Of the total volume Of
new construction. Total public out
lays for new construction in 1912
should reach $7,1o0, ,000, ,000-an all
time high for public construction
and an increase of almost $2,000.-
600 900 over 1941.
Private construction operations
will be curtailed in 1912 because Of
shortages of materials, particularly
metals, required in war production.

soldiers from score of states as house guests.
A good deal has been written about
