Vital Buildings Should Be
CamOuflaged, Says Designer

Camoufaging OF vital buildings
is as important as Disgusting guns
transports, and troops. Ian Mac
AliSter, secretary of the Royal In.
stitute of British Architects, de-
clares in a communication 10 the
American Institute of Architects.
British authorities were slow Ia
understand the necessity Of con-
cealing buildings OF national i'm
portance under conditions of aerial
warfare, MacAlister says, and the
work of camouflaging was not
wisely handled. despite the advice
that British architects were able
TO give.
There was n general impress
sion in high quarters" MacAlis-
ter pointed out, chat camOu-
fiaging OF buildings was just a
matter Of turning lot Of people
loose on them with brushes and
pots Of paint. IT has taken
great deal OF effort TO convince
them yet, that properly con-
ceived camoufiaging begins even
before the building exists, and
that from first to last IL IL prl-
marily n job for the architect.

Difference Slight

In fact. many shoppers will not
be able to distinguish between a
modern felt mattress and an inner
spring in appearance. 1t will be
difficult. too. to note any decrease
in comfort if one of the new cot
tons is used with the proper box
or coil bedspring.
Often shoppers think that felt
mattresses harder than the
Iinnersprings to which they have
grown accustomed. In general
.cotton-filled mattresses are a trifie
.firmer than some innersprings. The
'boardlike" impression which many
have of felts, however, is due ia
the too-long use Of these mat
dresses.
Felt does pack down and in time
liz Will lose resiliency and buoy
ancy. Quality cotton felts. how
ever. will give length of service
comparable to that which can be
expected from innerspring types in
the same price ranges.

Now these same walls and ceilings
