Coordination of Blows
Plays Important Part

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA, July (P>.-Never be-
| fore has the Central Solomons wit
messed such co-ordinated blows OF
power, speed and surprise as those
struck this week by the Navy,
ground troops and airplanes under
the supreme command OF Gen.
Douglas Macarthur.
In the two sectors Of action, New
Guinea and the Solomons, the most
immediate progress was reported for
! the eastern arm of the two-pronged
t drive.
Today's communique disclosed that
American forces which landed We'd
nesday on RendoVa Island had de-
stroyed the small japanese garrison
there.
Seizure of the only harbor in the
New Georgia sector, Viru, 80 miles
from Munda, also was announced.
Hard fighting preceded the capture,
jap Air Bases Menaced.
The japanese attested concern for
this new menace posed not only at
Munda but at air bases in the Nor
thern Solomons and at Rabul, New
Britain, by pouring medium bomb
ers, Give bombers, torpedo planes
and fighters at the landing parties
and at Allied shipping.
Allied casualties to date in the
Solomons operations were said by a
spokesman for Gen. Macarthur to
be light.
In heavy support of the Solomons
operations, Allied naval units and
planes blasted the enemy air bases
at Villa and Munda, while other
surface craft moved even further
up the Solomon chain to hit the
japanese in the Balance-Faisi area.
(Faisi is a settlement in the
Shorthand Islands some 80 miles
southeast across Bougainvile
Strait from the major japanese
base of BUM on the southern tip
Of Bougainville Island. Available
maps do not show Balance, but 1t

If 1t is not bright 1t is not color.
Dusty pink or mulberry, according
to most men, are just something
that happened when the painter
mixed too many colors together.
Give them free hand and they
will play strong blue against strong
red, cooling of the whole thing with
a large amount of natural wood, and
turn out a room that will make
everybody cheer.
Men Want Neatness.
A man Is likely to want neatness
in his rooms. He will place his fur
niture corresponding to the struc-
tural lines of the room-and he can
never go wrong here. Chairs will be
lined up opposite each other in front
Of the fireplace, close enough so
that they don't have to be moved
for conversation, and the table be-
fore them will be large enough for
all practical purposes and within
reach.
Desks will be where they get good
Highland will be really set up so
that letter-writing becomes a pas
time, with all the necessities at
hand.
Men like simple gadgets which
really work. They like draperies on
traverse rods, so that pull of the
cord runs them back or forward.
They like cupboard doors that close
tight on friction catches; they like
hinges that don't squeak. Left alone
they will work out the easiest and
most practical way to use each item.

touched without spelling the effect

that they govern both shade and sun.

Coat Of Paint Needed
Before Applying Putty

1t is poor practice to apply putty
to bare wood. A printing coat OF
paint should be applied first to the
wood, with care to coat thoroughly
the inside Of nail holes and other
indentations or cavities in the wood
which are to be filled with putty.
1t is not necessary that the paint
be thoroughly dry before the putty
Is applied.
After the openings have been
filled with putty, the putty should
be smoothed OF level with the sur
face, and finally covered over with
the finishing coat of paint. Window
sash also should be painted before
puttying; even glass will provide
better adhesion for putty II the
edges Of the glass are painted.
Also, painting over the putty
after 1t is applied to the window
sash will help to seal the putty
to the glass and make it hold
longer.

To Attend Conference

There were indications today that
more than = dozen and possibly -
many as 20 Washington realtors
will attend the November meeting
of the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards In Cleveland on No
vember Is.
Major topics at the conference
will be real estate efforts to assist
the Government with its wartime
problems. Among af1iliated groups
sending representatives are the IN
stitute Of Real Estate Management,
the National Association Of Home
Builders, the American Institute Of
Real Estate Appraisers. the Nation
al Institute Of Real Estate Brokers,

I A subject scheduled for study Is
the disposition Of surplus Federal
war property. According to reports
assembled by NAREB the Federal
Government has acquired much real
property for war purposes which
now has served its purpose. As the
war progresses additional facilities
will become surplus and will be up
for disposition.
Included in this are industrial IA
| cilities, plants, warehouses, ma
chinery and training areas. Means
will be sought at the conference
for developing ways by which real
tors can assist the Government in
the handling Of this property.
Also slated for review are postwar
housing plans and the development

be devoted to planning more orderly

BY MARGARET NOVEL.

When a man has a room to dec
crate and is left alone to work 1t
out 8 times out Of 10 1t is COM
Portable and attractive room. Why
we struggle along. with the notion
that to be livable a room must have
a woman's touch is hard to under
stand in the light of the very sue
cessful rooms created by men.
Back in the good old days when
Washington lived at Mount Vernon
the men did the interior decorating.
1t may be that Mrs. Washington
ventured the point that she liked
BLUE for the walls-but it was the
general who supervised the mixing
of the paint, the laying on Of the
color, and ordered from England,
France and Italy the fabrics, rugs
and carved overmantels which
graced the house.
To begin with most men know
what they want, which probably
accounts for the fact they have
such good luck getting 1t. If man
has new idea about a house he
doesn't wait to find out whether
1t Is correct, or what the other boys
will think about it. He works it
out and If it is practical he is sat-
isfied and it usually ends up by
being comfortable and attractive.
Men Prefer Utility.
Give a man house to decorate
and he Immediately becomes imbued
with the idea that windows are for
light and air, floors are to walk on,
the fireplace something to get warm
by, chairs and sofas something to
sit on painlessly, tables to hold
things and lamps to read by. As for
the bathroom 1t is a place to shave
and take bath with the minimum
OF lost motion. Roome work" )"
things are where you want them;
the whole thing has meaning.
Maybe their love of plain wood
finishes, rough textures in uphol-
stery and sturdy furniture spring
from their simple, direct natures.
Show a man a priceless heirloom
and he will give it fishy eye if it
Is the least bit wobbly. He doesn't
want an antique, but he does like
the good old familiar things. sepa-
rate him from his old shaving mir
ror or the rack he has used for his
shoes since college days, and there
Is battle on Immediately.
When you say color to q man he
thinks Of red. Next to that he likes
blue. Good straight color with no
adulteration Is what he likes best.
