Million Housing Units
Seen as Yearly Need
In Postwar BuiIdinq

While makintg no prediction as to
the number Of residential housing
units which the country will build
after the war. the actual need for
this type of construction seems to
be fairly well established at more
than 1,00o,0 900 units annually for
about the first five postwar years,
according to data compiled by the
Mortgage Bankers Association OF
America. This figure was arrived at
by averaging the Is most authori-
tative estimates made in recent
months Of the probable shortage of
single family housing units at the
end Of the war. These estimates run
from 100000 units annually to as
low AZ SOC, 900, although eight are
set at exactly 100000 and four
exceed that figure. The average is
1,03o, 1888 residential housing units.
Thus the best-informed opinion
seems to be that in the first five
postwar years the country could use
well over 100000 single-family
dwelling, units.
In striking this average the asso-
citation used the estimates of four
governmental agencies in the hous-
ing field, four national associations,
two private fact-finding organiza-
tions and five nationally-known
companies operating in the building
and building materials field,
The most certain factor in the
whole postwar construction picture,
according to association studies, Is
the assurance there will be more
than ample financing facilities for
the next wave Of building. Mort
gage financing will be available in
an amount never before seen in this
country and on the best terms and
conditions the American people
have been offered.
There Is every indication life in
surance companies and other insti.
tutional investors will play a far
greater role in mortgage financing
than ever before. The former group

siderably more loans today were 1t

day increased values. Thus many
mortgages which normally would be
going into institutional portfolios
are now being made by other lenders,
principally, 1t would appear, indi-
vidual investors. The latter group
are making an increasingly larger

data indicate.

Responsibility for the pattern OF

what may be accomplished.

The Home
Clinic

Dyeing Is one way to get the color
you want, in this day of limited
colors, and lack of subtle shades to
match figured fabrics. New mate
rial takes q dye bath after being
thoroughly washed with soap and
water to remove sizing. Old, OF
faded fabrics, can be renewed to
match a favored color scheme, and
are often more individual in color
than new material.
Honemakers who have never dyed
anything usually think that success
ful dyeing is matter of pure luck
or that one must whisper magic
words over the dye pot. Actually,
OF course, neither theory has a
sound basis. Dyeing is an art and
If the directions are followed care
fully, the results are satisfactory.
The mistake most women make
when they dye anything is in using
a kettle which Is too small to allow
the free movement OF the dye bath
over and through the fabric. The
bigger the pot, the easier it is to
obtain good results. A porcelain
enameled dishpan or other large
enameled utensil is a wise choice
for this reason. It is large enough
to hold practically any garment.
Porcelain enameled ware is also
desirable as dye pot because the
pigment is easily removed from the
smooth enamel finish. It cannot
penetrate the surface, since enam-
eled utensils are nonporous and nom
absorbent. Because this is true, the
dishpan or other enameled vessel
may be used for its usual purpose
Immediately after the dye is re-
moved with perfect safety. AS soon
as the fabric is dyed, empty the
utensil and wash it thoroughly with
plenty of hot water and soap. This
will ordinarily remove every trace
of the dye.
The main objection to dyeing is
that frequently fabrics streak. To
avoid this, always let the material
remain In the dye bath long enough.
Even though the material may seem
to be thoroughly colored, 1t should
remain in the dye bath the required
length Of time. This is especially
important when dyeing dark colors.
Otherwise. they may streak or be
too light a shade.
