The Home Clinic

siasts say the wood dries out and
needs to be fed with oil.
This department admits they are
both right and acts accordingly. We
suggest you go over the washed
surface with a good furniture oil.
Put 1t on with a soft cheesecloth,
continue all around the room, OIL
ing each piece, permitting the oil to
remain on the wood surface Is
minutes or so. Then go over it
with a dry cloth and remove every
bit Of the surface oil. If you still
feel the wood Is a bit undernour-
ished repeat this process several
days later. Then give it a thin
coat Of wax and buff it up to a.
high polish.
Surface Sheds Dust Easily.
We think wood needs oil, but we
also feel that wax keeps soil and
moisture from penetrating the sur
face, and its slick surface sheds
dust easily. The trouble according
to antiwaxers is that they do not
like the gummy surface and the way
the wax settles in carving.
This is mainly because too much
wax Is used. The more wax you
apply in one coat, the more you
have to take of before you get a
polish. The secret of it all is to apply
the thinnest film of wax, polish
briSklv with a soft wool cloth to oct
the satiny glaze we all admire.

IA Private Bui|dinQ
To Match Last Years 5,
Ferguson Declares

Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson
Of the Federal Housing Administra-
ton today predicted that this year
private builders will have almost
as large war construction program
ahead of them as they had last year
He estimated that at least $50, 1000
new privately financed dwelling
units will be needed this year as
compared with $4,000 war units
started in 1943.
This years war housing job, he
said, will be highly concentrated in
a relatively small number of vital
war areas where employment Is still
expanding. About IS per cent OF
all privately financed housing will
be started in 20 localities from
present indications.
In more than 300 other localities,
private war housing quotas have
been met or are nearing completion.
January l, 1l5,000 units remained
to be started under existing quotas.
Although the war production situa-
ton may bring considerable changes
IN the war housing picture, current
estimates by the National Housing
Agency indicate that private quotas
will be established for 10000 to 35.-
600 more units during the next few
months. This increase, plus the
unused quota on January /, means
a housing job close to 10000
private financed units.
OF the 10000 units, it is estimated
on the basis Of past experience that
FILA will insure financing on ap-
proximately IS per cent under Title
vi of the National Housing Act, he
added.
To speed up the production of
urgently needed war housing, Mr..
Ferguson said, steps have been taken
by the Federal Housing Administra-
ton and the National Housing
Agency, in cooperation with the
War Production Board, to simplify
the processing" of applications for
priorities. The new procedure
eliminates the filing Of detailed
list of materials and authorizes FHA
offices to approve war housing ap-
plications without referring them to
WPB of1ces.
Breaking down the unused ma
tional quota on January l into
Census Bureau regions, 81, 900 dwell
ing units remained to be started in
Pacific Coast States, $4,000 in East
North Central, 1900 in West South
Central, $4,000 in South Atlantic
and 5000 in Middle Atlantic. This
leaves total Of $4,000 units for the
combined New England, East South
Central, West North Central and
Mountain regions. Within these
regions, private war housing con-
struction during 1914 will be con-
centrated in localities having q
critical shortage of war housing,
Mr.. Ferguson said.
