There Is no saving in buying cheap
bedroom or bathroom linen these
days. If you are buying sheets, buy
the best percale ones. These are not
essential to the war effort and
though they cost a pretty penny. at
first they make up for it by long
years of wear and the fact that they
cost less In poundage every time the
sheets go to the laundry. More
than that they give you that luxur-
ious. well-appointed feeling every
time YOU open the linen closet.
Rather than to come home from
town with a new set of bath towels
every time you see new color in the
shops, set your cap for the big
deep piled white ones. Work colored
monograms on them yourself and
have possessions which will last, look
fresh always, and make you proud
OF the things you own each time you
lay them away.

while quotas were established and
priorities issued or available for ap-
proximately 123, 900 additional units.
A total of 23l, TIT publicly financed
units of all types were under con-
struction on April 30 and between
$4,000 and 10000 more were sched-
uled for starting.
Over and above this current pro-
gram, the MIA recently completed
estimates of the amount of addi-
tional war housing which will be re-
quired to meet needs resulting from
the continued immigration OF war
labor during the IL months beRin-
ming July /. Forecasts by the War
ManpoWer Commission indicate that
approximately 100000 war workers
will migrate to war production areas
during that period.
The MIA estimates these workers
can be accommodated in $4,000
dwelling units, considering that some
families will have more than one
worker.
1t figures that more than 6OO, 900
Of these accommodations can be pro-
vided in existing housing without
alteration, and that $4,000 family
units can be supplied through pri-
vately financed or publicly financed
conversion Of existing structures.
Under the proposed program, ap-
proximately 250,0OO units Of new
construction would be necessary.
These would include 90 900 privately
financed family dwellings, $4,000
temporary family units financed by
Government funds. and 10000 ac-
commodations for single persons in
publicly financed dormitories.

Point rationing. high prices and
scarcities have contributed valuable
lessons to the American buying pub
lie. We all think twice before we
buy, and most of US have learned to
shop for good value and high quality.
Gone are the days. We devoutly hope,
when we spent our hard-earned cash
for shoddy little novelties which took
our fancy.
Whether we purchase a vinegar
cruet or grand piano. q soap dish

plicity, good lines and fine material
should be the guiding rule. No
more cheap material. seductively
overdecorated to catch the eye, Is for

Good furniture OF simple, direct,

buy carefully for that and enjoy its
serene elegance. Later when more
rooms or a house are realized. these
pieces will be equally useful in bed

for one place only, or so designed
that it must Be used together, is
expensive. It usually ends up in the
