Fire Retordont Paints
Come Into Wide Use

Methods of determining the. fire
'retardant properties of paints for
wood and other surfaces, have been
studied recently by many labora-
tories. In these studies many new-
| type paint ingredients have been
tested. When these are properly
compounded. they produce paints
having substantial resistance to
flame.
These studies have developed a
special blast lamp test to determine
the efficiency of fire retardant paints
upon metal surfaces, This is Of in
terest, since the, interiors of prac-
tically all ships are now. painted
with special rust-inhibitive primers
followed by newly developed types of
fire retardant paint having low gloss
surfaces. This is highly light re-
fecting paint. without which the
Interiors would be relatively dim, a
condition which would retard the
efficiency Of the crew. It is under
stood that the use of the above type
OF paint is now a requirement. for
all ships.

Ideal Situation
In Housing Seen
80 Years Hence

The world Of 80 years from now,
with the problems Of slum clearance
and low-cost housing solved by a
unified system Of private enterprise
thrift institutions, is envisioned
under admittedly idealistic terms in
an article by Morton Bodfish, execu-
tive vice president of the United
States Savings and Loan League,
in the current issue Of the Savings
Bank Journal.
Using the looking backward"
technique, the league executive pre-
supposes the development by 1870
Of new type Of savings institution,
called "co-operative savings bank"
a composite Of the mutual savings
banks and savings and loan associa-
tions and cooperative banks of the
present time.
The article. purporting to be the
housing expert to this country three
decades from now. speaks of total
savings of s5O00O,0OO, 900 invested
in this composite type of institution
the accounts being held by 50,000,-
900 citizens.
Explaining what the chief func-
tions Of the Cooperative Savings
Bank of the 1905 will be, as he sees
them, the author says the first
major function is to teach people
to save.
The second major function is the
financing of homes, and the third is
the building and operation of apart
ment buildings for low-income fam
lilies and for those few who have
to have public philanthropy

Have Problems
On Rent Control
Herbert Nelson Would
Curb Restrictions
On Sole of Houses

Rent control problems Of the
United States and Canada are SIM
liar, with the primary difficulty for
realtors being home sale restric-
tions, Herbert U. Nelson, executive
vice president of the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards, de-
clared today after having attended
the organizing meeting of the Cana
dian Association of Real Estate
Boards in Toronto.
There heretofore had been no ma.
tional group to speak for realtors in
Canada and during the organizing
meeting Nj. Nelson was consulted
on details of the American setup.
Mr.. Nelson was accompanied by
Walton Onslow, who recently was
named to handle public relations in
the Washington office.
Chief problem, for realtors in
both Canada and the United States"
Mr.. Nelson said. ''is the restriction
on the sale of houses While in
this country 90-day waiting period
Is enforced before tenanted house
can be purchased, in Canada a pur-
chaser must wait IL months before
he can have possession
Naturally, this has to all effects
wiped out the purchase of homes
where houses were occupied by ten
ants. 1t is proving practically an
insuperable obstacle for those who
wish to buy homes, since there is
no new non-war private construc-
I ton"
Mr.. Nelson said the Canadian AS
sociation is attempting to have the
12-month period modified. The Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards in this country also is seek
ing to have OPA modify its rule on
sales.
The problems of the two coun-
tries are practically Identical" Mr..
Nelson stated. In both Canada and
the United States the NAREB
(Which embraces the Canadian
group advocates a sound and ra-
tional system of rent control, but
in most cases the present inflexible
methods have mitigated severely
against the property owner.
Realtors everywhere favor ra-
tional rent control, but we haven't
got it yet. Both the American and
Canadian realtor groups have ap-
pealed to their respective govern
ments for notifications, and we are
| hopeful that better administration
OF the law can be worked out" he
said.

Homes Can Be ARRANGED
10 Keep Children Happy

Depending on their age, children
spend from so to 95 per cent of their
time in the house. The younger they
are the more they are inside.
1t is difficult, of course, to find out
from the child what home arrange
ments he would like best. He may
yell for toy elephant ra trip to
the ZOO. and he cannot be expected
to analyze his basic needs.
First OF all. q child needs to feel
at home in his own house, that he
has right to 60 about his business
there. He should not be made to
feel that just by being around he is
interfering and getting in other
peoples way. It is essential that he
be given a place of his own where
he can play alone or with other
children even romp or make clut-
ter without being scolded.
The ideal thing for him is to have
a room Of his own, or at least a
room shared with another child
about his own age. In such q room
he can go to sleep at the proper
time, ;undisturbed by the grownups,
and keep all his possessions.
Failing that, you may give him a
corner of the living room for his
play and even equip it with the child
size furniture he heeds chair
low enough so his feet won't
".dangle," well-lighted small desk
or a table of the right height. at
which to write, draw, paint or study
in comfort.
If you give him boxes or low
shelves where he. can keep his toys,
and a closet with the hanging rod
low enough so that he can reach
his own clothes, he will be Just as
well-behaved at home as he is in
school.

Lacquer Protects Glass

Lacquer, when applied to glass is
becoming recognized as a helpful aid
to safety In bombing raids. While
1t will not prevent the glass from
breaking under the impact of an
explosion, lacquer will help to pre-
vent splinters OF glass from flying,
and perhaps prevent blindness and
lacerations of many raid victims.

a little weak from all the excite
