Magazines and newspapers are
full Of alluring before and after"
pictures of transformed rooms-all
at the cost of $11.29 and handful
of tacks. All you have to do is find
secondhand shop, spot a dusty
old chest, tell at a glance that under
meath turks genuine mahogany.
Then you rub off three coats of
paint, saw off the legs, build a new
top and-presto, you've got col
lector's item.
But suppose when you get home
at night your feet hurt and all you
want is to be taken out to dinner?
Also, suppose you are a defense
worker, that you live in a crowded
industrial area and you can't stand
the sight of your boarding house
room one minute longer?
Here's how to make your room
place you enjoy, painlessly. First,
avail yourself of the magic Of color.
Absolutely nothing else can so quick
ly transform a room with so little
trouble. HE yourself to a good
store and invest in new draperies,
bedspread, and possible one of those
brave new string rugs. The cost is
truly negligible, in view of the tre-
mendous lift bright, crisp fabric will
give your morale. Do not be afraid
to experiment with color schemes.
Combine pink with green, il, you
have always longed tor dare to
be different with brown and the
other more unconventional decora-
tive shades. Hang a drapery across
one wall, if the spirit moves you, or
loop length of fabric over your
mirror. It's merely matter of
choosing patterns which appeal to
you, and putting them up with prac-
tically no cutting and sewing and a
minimum of labor.
You will find that the variety Of
shades, patterns and surfaces the
designers offer is so large that you
can give your room any character
you wish. You need merely select
from among feminine frilliness,
dormitory rough-and-readiness, So
phisticated modern, or something
original and exclusively your own.
The bedspread sets the keynote.
There are dainty dotted swisses, gay
glazed chintZes, luscious chenilles.
There are spirited woven designs in
every conceivable pattern-stripes,
stars, cattle brands, snowfakes, geo.
metrics, Latin American motifs,
forals. There are ginghams, sail
cloth, cretonnes, challies - even
satins, velveteens and corduroys. You
will discover draperies to match in
the same department, and don't
forget glass curtains. Two glass
curtains instead of one On the same
window gives an expensive look all
out of proportion to the cost of the
| fabric.
The second step OF how-to-live-
in-one-room- and -like-it is so sim
pie that it is astonishing more peo-
pie do not think of it. 1t is merely
after you have made your room a Joy
to behold-to keep it that way. 1t
| is all too easy to work up a fine
flush of enthusiasm about deco

Wider Use Of Glass
In Building Forecast

In a not too distant future Amer
leans may be living in houses almost
entirely constructed OF glass and
furnished with glass. Already ia
bles, chairs and even pianos Of tenn
pered glass are being made.
Modern American glassware graces
tables and is fashioned into ash
trays, vases and bases for table
lamps.
Glass block panels and walls are
combined with huge picture win
dows in many a modern home and
curtains of glass fabric adorn the
windows.
Today such varied uses of glass
are as practical as they are hand
some because of the new strength
OF manufactured glass and the ease
with which all glass surfaces can
be kept clean.

WPB Regulations O. K.
Replacing of Roofs

In war or peace old roofs wear
out and have to be replaced by new
ones. The application Of necessary
new roofs is permitted without re-
striction by the War Production
Board.
Those Americans who re-roof
their homes during these war days
show marked preference for bright
color. Bright green asphalt shin
giles above clean white painted side
walls is the most popular choice for
a complete exterior color scheme.
Blue-black is the second roof IA
vorite, while deep green is runner
up to white for popularity in exterior
paint. Colored asphalt shingles and
paints for the renovation of ex-
teriors are still available to home
owners.

Inferior Decorators
Helping 10 Increase
War-PIant Efficiency
Choice Of CoIors Found
To Affect Workers
Health and Morale

Interior decoration, formerly re-
garded as highly specialized field
of the luxury class, now has been
turned to wartime use to increase
efficiency in plants supplying the
armed forces.
It is the most recent development
IN the growing public realization
that there is lot more to color
than just something pleasing to look
at-that color has highly important
and definite effects upon health,
safety and human behavior.
Practical application in the new
field has been the use of well-se-
lected shades of buff, green, French
gray or light rose paint on the in
/. terror of factories Where the weap-
ons of war are being made and
where time is of the essence" The
significance of the idea is apparent
In the fact that production in one
plant, following introduction of a
new color scheme, was increased as
much as Is per cent.
Circumstances Govern Choice,
While added light reflection is one
OF the important factors in the in
dustrial application of the deco
rator's art, the shades of color to
be used and their location vary ac-
cording to the natural lighting
available, the direction from which
light enters room, the kind of
equipment and the character of the
work being done.
While very white paint will pro-
vide maximum light reflection, q
brilliant white may be too glaring
or dazzling in some locations in
which other light tints of paint may
be found preferable On the other
hand, darker rooms may call for
white with it's maximum light re-
Election power.
Another new field for the interior
decorator from the utilitarian war
time and conservation standpoint
may be found in alleviating the dis
comfort OF lower temperatures in
all types of structures where fuel
allowances have to be reduced dur
ing the coming winter.
Yellow Found Best.
1t has been found that office help
who complained of being chilly
when the interior of the room in
which they worked was painted a
cool blue, with the result that the
temperature had to be raised to sat-
isfy them, were found contented
with the previous temperature when
the walls and ceiling had been re-
painted a warm yellow.
Many new uses for paint-some of
them connected with military Sc
crets-are developing under the
stress OF war. 1t is confidently be-
lleved in the paint industry that
after the war ends the family of
paint, varnish and lacquer products
will have many new members with
high potential usefulness in civilian
manufacture and construction.

Tight Windows Save Fuel

Home owners faced with the ne
cessity for economizing on fuel this
winter should check the condition
of their windows, now, as drafty
windows let in the cold air and lei
out the warm. Misunderstanding car
be applied to tighten the frames. OF
the windows can be completely re-
placed with insulux glass block
panels. The glass blocks can be set
into the existing window frames
and will slash the window heat loss
by as much as so per cent.
Evening star., 1942-10-17
Best Paint Usually Cheaper

1t Is estimated that on an aver
age exterior painting job done by
professional painters, approximately
IS per cent of the cost is for labor,
the remaining Is per cent being for
the paint. Inasmuch as it costs as
much to apply low quality paint as
1t does to apply paint of high quail
ity, the difference in cost between
high and low class materials repre-
sents such small part of the total
painting cost that when durability
and lasting satisfaction are coneid-
cred, use of f1rst-class material is
distinct economy.

NOT AWARDED CONTRACT

At that time Ford had not even

war department All he knew was
that the government needed planes
and he could build them with the
same mass production methods he
developed for the automobile.
Three weeks after crews began
clearing the land with axes and
bulldozers tho first concrete used
in the building was poured.
On MAY ! a railroad spur was
completed into the plant site. Flat
cars then brought in tons OF
structural steel and the first piece
was set May 13.
The work was pushed through
all kinds of weather. Flooring was
placed i'm each section of the
building as soon as the roof over
it was completed. Machinery was
set in place and put in operation
while the construction work was
in progress.
The entire job was Specded by
every possible means. Ford rea-
lized that time was short so he set
a record by producing planes 1a
months after beginning construc-
