Luminous paint and other mate
rials which show up brightly in
dark room during an AFRAID black
out have attracted much attention
from Army and Navy officials, tech
nical experts and leaders of the Of
flee of Civilian Defense, it was an
nounced today by the National
Paint, Varnish IL Lacquer Associa-
ton from its national headquarters
here.
Use of such materials to help guide
the public during blackouts was
demonstrated in a recent extensive
exhibit at the associations head
quarters. The exhibit was a result
OF joint work OF chemists and phys
icists who are specialists in painting
and lighting
Inspector of the show, officials of
the association reported was quite
startling to the layman" 1t vividly
illustrated how occupants of build
ing in which all of the ordinary
electric lights have been turned of
still can find their way about with
relative ease and safety.

One section of the exhibit was
devoted to phosphorescent materials,
with table displays of phosphores-
cent coatings on various articles.
Another was devoted to fiuorescent
materials which show up brilliantly

bulbs are now readily obtainable
and can be screwed into an ordinary
electric light socket. When turned
on, they do not emit light which
would be visible to an enemy bomber,
but they activate special types
Of sensitized coatings and these &C
tivated coatings provide enough
light to enable occupants of room
to move about safely, find exits
promptly, and read posted instruc-
tions lettered with a 1uminescent
coating.
Stair railings leading to the ex-
hibit were painted with luminescent
paint, a procedure which logically
leads to the similar painting of the
edges Of stairway treads. Numerous
signs bearing curved arrows and
other simple symbols as we'll as
words were reminiscent of the signs
used on well-marked highways, and
are easily adaptable for use in any
building. For example, the words
fire alarm" were accompanied by a
sketch of gong and hammer and
the word sand" by sketch of piled
up sandbages. incidentally, the sand
pals themselves were completely
painted with luminescent coating.
Some OF the signs read: "One Way"

$4,000 Homes

Fuel Shortage
$4,000 Dwellings
Will Get Along
With Coal or Coke

Some $1,000 households In the
Metropolitan Area will be affected
by the fuel oil shortage this year,
according to the 1910 housing census
for the District and vicinity, which
shows that number OF structures
are heated by fuel oil
A lucky $4,000 dwelling units will
get along as they have in the past
with coal or coke heating.
Another interesting figure re-
vealed in the recently released hous-
ing survey is that the average esti-
mated monthly rent of vacant dwell
Ing units in the Washington metro
politan district in 1910 was $5l16.
This figure included all types OF
vacant urban and rural non-farm
houses and apartments in the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland and Vir-
glnia. In non-vacant tenant-occu-
pied units the average rent for
whites was $48 month and for
non-whites $28 a month.
$1,000 Owner Occupied.
There were 10000 owner-occupied
dwellings in the District area, as
compared with 148, 900 tenant-occu-
pied units in 1910. The majority Of
residential structures were single
family detached houses, with 80, 900
units of this type reported for the
Metropolitan Area. Next largest
number Of units consisted of the
single-family attached dwelling
units. There were only 760 struc-
lures housing 20 or more families
in the area.
AS to exterior material. the report
continues. the majority of structures
are made OF brick, $4,000 being 50
constructed, with the number OF
wooden residences given as 5000,
and 5000 as stucco exterior DWELL
ings.
The volume of building in recent
years in the Metropolitan Area is in
d1cated by the fact that 81 per cent
OF all dwelling units reported in
1910 had been constructed in thu
years 1885 to 1910. The depression
years of 1930-1934 saw only 7 per
cent of the construction of the last
80 years.
In the prosperous days of 1925 to
1879 Is per cent of METROPOLITAN
dwelling units were constructed. An.
other high point for building existed
IN the 19l0-l9l9 period, that of the
last war.

LARGER Windows Better
In Small Home DESIGN

In planning the small home, FHA
ofncials advise that living and din
ing rooms have few large windows
rather than a number of small ones.
Since the carpenter would have
fewer openings to build, the cost
would be less.
Kitchen windows should be To-
Gated over a sink wherever possible
so view is available. In bedrooms
cross-ventilation should govern the
location of windows.
Often windows in the attic are
not necessary, but most builders feel
that lowers should be installed for,
air circulation. 1t is often desirable
10 have bedroom windows high
enough above the floor to permit the
placing of low pieces OF furniture

whether cold air is infiltrating. The
new thresholds. furnished with in
terlocking hook, nails and screws,
cost $3.50 each.
Underc0ater for Plaster.
The bugaboo OF the painters
world is plaster. for it must be dry
before it is painted or the job will
be a dismal failure and soon will
peel and crack. But painting OF
green, unseasoned plaster can be
accomplished il you use a new un-
dercoat with an Oil base. The
secret of this products success lies
in its absorption powers. It laps
up the moisture in the plaster and
expels 1t during the drying -out
process. Once dry, you can put on
priming and finishing coat with
out any OF the usual waiting for
plaster to season.
This undercoater is white pig
mented paint which makes two-coat
painting 4 practical possibility and
eliminates the necessity for differ
ent types Of undercoaters for various
surfaces. It can be used on virtual
~ any interior or exterior surface.
For example, on porous brick and
masonry surfaces one coat of the
undercoater completely seals the sur
face and prevents loss of oils and
important elements in the succeed
ing coat, which is the common COM
plant when porous masonry sur
faces are coated with ordinary
paints. Only one application of the
undercoater and a finish coat will

It's never too soon to think OF
ways and means to conserve fuel
and still keep our houses warm in
winter. Too much heat is lost at
doors, and heating plant has to
use increased amounts OF fuel to
counteract cold drafts under doors,
particularly outside doors.

left to buy the bonds.
