Home Insulation
Sound Economy
Experts Advise

= Proper insulation should be
considered as one item of the
many which go into the making of
a house that not only pays for
itself, but continues TO pay divi-
dends during the life of the struc-
ture.
II has been estimated by the
National Bureau of Standards
that the average frame house can
be heated with 40 per cnet less
fuel when il has insulated walls
and roof.
II storm sash and weatherstrip-
ping are added the savings can
be as much as so per cent For
example, If the fuel bill on the
hntnSulated house amounts TO
500 a year, il could be cut TO
$40 if properly insulated.
Assuming then that the cost Of
Insulation would be $120 10 in
stall, it could be paid for out Of
the savings on the fuel bill in
three years, and the owner would
be receiving dividends in the form
OF lowered fuel bills for as long
as he owned the house.

List Ideas Which Help

Dollar-stretchers that will en-
able homeowners to get the most
out of their plumbing and heating
equipment during the war are sug-
gested by the Plumbing and Heat
ing Industries Bureau.
Suggestions are grouped under
the headings of sinks, tubs, faucets

closets, closet seats, water heat.

ing coils.
Sinks. Don't use uncovered sinh
drainboards as cutting boards
Don't chop ice on sink drainboards
Don't scrape pots or pans acros;
basin or drainboardS. Avoid the
use of strong abrasive cleanser'
on the surface OF enameled cas-
iron plumbing fixtures.

Converting Oil
Furnace 10 Coal
Helps Country

Patriotic home owners will real
ize the need for conserving the fuel
oil available for more essential
needs, and convert their heating
equipment 20 the use of coal with
out further delay. Such voluntary
action would forestall a possible
OPA threat Of forced conversion.
The War Production Board real
izing the necessity for oil conser-
walton measures, has exempted all
materials necessary for the conver-
sion of oil burners to the use Of
some other fuel. Also in line with
this policy, the .0PA has fixed
maximum charges that may be
made for parts, such as CRATES,
ash-pit doors, etc, as well as
establishing maximum charges for
installation work.

Let Expert Repair
Frozen Pipes
Much Damage Possible
by Amateur Repairman

The thawingN Of frozen water
pipes IS not a job for the handy
man. There is a definite possibility
that considerable damage may
result if the householder relies on
his own methods or remedies, or
those Of some unqualified person.
The use of blow torches is par
ticularly risky. a blow torch in
the hands of a person not familiar
with its use may result IN an eX-
plosion due TO the accumulation of
excessive steam or in a fire due
TO overheating Of the pipe.
Frozen pipes can be handled
best by experienced plumbers on
heating contractors. They are
familiar with the problems that
may be encountered.
Experts advise that pipes which
are located so as TO be susceptible
TO freezing should bc either relo-
Gated or insulated with adequate
covering TO prevent freezes.

DemandfOrLa
Homes After War
Survey Shows Families
Planning for Better Houses

That there will be a great de-
mand for private homes, costing
over $4,000, after the war, is def
initely seen following a survey OF
families planning 10 build homes
for their own occupancy, just as
soon as conditions permit.
Fifty-siX per cent of the fami-
lies state that they will construct
houses at a price cost of $1,000 and
over. Forty per cent will build
within the $4,000 and $4,000 price
range. These costs are for con-
struction only. exclusive of land.
"FOr a number of msnths we
have been locating families that
state they will build. when pri-
critics permit" How ard M.
Thompson, general manager OF
Home Owners Catalogs, said.
1--WE have been carefully check
ing i'm an effort to determine
future home building trends.
That better houses are 10 be
constructed In the postwar
period appears 10 be the only
conclusion from our survey
figures" he added.

manded in the House last week by
Rep. Thomas Rolph.
Rolph'S demand followed a move
by Rep Harry Sheppard 10 amend

more flexible.
Sheppard introduced a bill which
he said would place rent control

such control must be wide enough

Seek Modification
0PASales Rule
NAREB Offers Ideas on
Changing Requirements

Present requirements of OPA
affecting sales of residential prop
erty unnecessarily cut off the pos
sibility of home ownership from a
very large proportion of the people
in practically every community in
which they are in effect. The hard
ship, falling primarily upon per-
sons Of small income and largely
upon war workers, is bound TO
affect adversely both our social
economy and the war effort. That
is the concensus Of reports from
cities over the country brought
before OPA officials last week by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards through its Real
tors Washington Committee.
The regulations, part of OPA's
present rule for rent control and
in effect wherever rent control is,
require a one-third cash down pay
ment and a 90-day notice in The
purchase Of residential property
that involves involuntary dispos.
session Of an existing tenant.
Their purpose TO prevent sales
made only to evade rent control
could be achieved without Sc
severe a requirement, one that
diSturbs established home financ-
ing practices. the association holds.
II asks that the regulations be
modified, and has made specific
suggestions as 10 how this could
Soundly be done.
Real estate boards in cities over
the country that are under rent
control made reports on the effect
of the sales regulations on their
own communities. These the
national association has brought
TO the attention of OPA officials
in seeking an adjustment which
will achieve the purposes of the
Rent Control Act without unnec-
essary stoppage Of our national
policy in respect to home financing
and home ownership.

House Timely

Despite the critical housing ma
teria shortage that has resulted
in new War Production Board
rulings. aimed at trimming the
nations building program to the
dwindllng supply Of construction
products, adequate new housing

Samuel Paul of Matern, Graft e.
Paul, New York, specialists in pre-
fabricated design and construc-
tion.

of critical materials in prefabri-
cation makes it possible 10 meet

STANDARD construction cannot
do the pressing war job with

The senate Wednesday decided
that 10 days was sufficient tim,
TO study bills handed them dur,
ing the first so DAYS OF the session
and they were In no hurry to aci
upon PUD Initiative Il when II
comes before them.
On Tuesday the upper house re.
eefved the concurrent resolution
outlining the proposed rules they
would abide by for the remainder
of the session. As received from
the house. the resolution had two
controversial points. The first
was limiting the introduction of
new bills TO 40 days. The second
stated that all initiatives brought
before both houses were TO have
no special consideration and would
be handled in the regular order OF
business.
McCUTCHEON PROTESTS
The forces opposing the 40-day
rule promptly tackled on an amend
ment bringing 1t back to so days.
The whole thing ended in a tie
vote.
In meantime, John T. McCutch-
con (R) of Pierce county took OBJ
lection to the point concerning in
itiatives and charged that this
merely gave the committee a
chance TO bury Initiative II. He
then proposed an amendment lin
iting time any committee could
hold the initiative. This ended in
q parliamentary snarl.
After two hours and 20 min
utes Of wrangling, both sides
decided 10 adjourn and start
the battle anew on Wednes-
day.
The following day the battle OF
motions was on again. The first
item on the calendar was Nc
Cutcheon's objection to the rule
concerning initiatives and whether
or not they had any precedent.

call vote was taken TO see II the

CAPITOL. Oiympia-The joint
resolution TO place the 40-mill law
in as an amendment TO the consti-
tuition withstood a terrific barrage
of counter amendments Wednes-
day afternoon in the house. The
resolution sponsored by Tom
Montgomery and Frank Cher
venka, both OF Pierce county. had
nine amendments attached TO it
and only two managed to stay.
The two amendments accom-
plished one purpose will per
NIT any tax levying district to
hold two special levy elections in
one calendar year If they so wish.
Through an oversight, the first
amendment failed to cover all of
the resolution and second
amendment was necessary to cover
election clause in another part of
the resolution.
MOST CHANGES LOSE
The other amendments, which
took up most of the day in the
house, ranged from a 25-mill limit
up to a graduated tax that would
run rs high as so mills. Most OF
the amendments were defeated b,
