BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

A friend remarked today, I'm
tired of this utilitarian life we are
leading. It's all We talk about a
great deal of the time. Where is the
beauty We used to mix with our
daily living, which gave meaning to
all our efforts?"
II these remarks came from a
young "f1itterabout" we might not
have paid too much attention. But
they came from an intelligent, we'll
informed mother of six children who
knows all about housekeeping, get
ting three meals a day and the ext
gencies Of life. And with all of this
she has managed concert, a movie,
a good book or some equally soul
satisfying JOY whenever she felt her
mind getting dowdy from too many
utilitarian things.
Beauty in Daily Grind.
The sum total of it all is a very
good life. Somewhere the rest of us,
too, must find time to insert a little
beauty into our daily grind, If for
no other reason than to restore our
own mind, which in turn is given out
to those who surround us.
No people with the love of hap
piness that flourishes in the U. S. A.
will take kindly to martyrdom. The
woman who Is slave to her house,
and looks it, is not the typical
American housewife. But many of
US, stepped in the seriousness of
present-time life, are more likely to
give in to drabness than ever before.
Lack of funds, lack of time is no
excuse. The malady is a state of
mind. The cure is the soul-nourish-
ing appreciation of beauty, at regu-
lar intervals, wherever you may
find it.
An End in Itself.
For some of us this is a quiet aft
ernoon with good book. If the
mending and the ironing is off
schedule it doesn't matter-the end
justifles the means in restored Sc
renity.
For another it may be an hour or

flower show, or maybe just playing
at these things oneself. Drawing,

The Home Clinic

Girls who spent years studying for
the concert stage often allow their
ability to drift into the forgotten
when family cares consume their
time. The woman who loves flowers
is stimulated by them at horticultu-
raj shows, but she can be equally
happy puttering in her own small
garden as long as she can raise
choice petunias along with her vita
minis.
Do What You Want to Do.
Unless your doctor or your best
friend tells you that you are in a
serious condition you are likely to
drift along for years feeling half
alive, and giving nothing of yourself
to family or associates. A few good
doses of doing what you want to do,
feeding your soul and your mind,
lifts you amazingly into a faster
cycle of achievement. Everything is
easier and better. You again become
the healthy, vital person you are ex-
pected to be.
In a peaceful world there is
enough beauty and serenity to 60
around, and you are likely to find
your share without effort on your
part. In a world at war much of
the beauty is blotted out. Every one
must make an effort to find bit Of
it and store it for use.
One who has never known the
depths can ever understand the
heights. No one who has not worked
cruelty hard, worried and been beat
en- down can ever truly understand
release.
Because we have learned these les
sons we should now wisely try to find
some time to build bit of Joy and
beauty into our homes, our gardens
our work and our everyday life, If
for no other reason than to keep us
from getting too tired of the "utin-
tartan life"

Shifts in Home Desion
To Arrive Gradually,
Builders Head SAYS

Early postwar homes will not
differ from our prewar homes to
any greater extent than the early
postwar models of the automobile
will differ from cars produced just
before the war, Robert P. Gerholz.
president of the National Associa-
ton of Home Builders, reported
today.
I'm housing, as in other typically
American traditions, experience has
demonstrated that public resistance
to revolutionary change IS ex-
tremely strong" Mr.. Gerholz said
Novelties in design, materials or
equipment must come gradually. a
few at time. Public acceptance of
new developments is slow because
families buying new homes are, in
almost every case, making the most
important investment of their life
time. They want to be sure of the
permanence, reliability, and lasting
good taste Of their purchase"
Mr.. Gerholz branded public
statements designed to lead the
public to expect miracle homes at
only fraction of the prewar cost
as most unfortunate. THE chief
aim of home builders will be not
to produce completely strange and
dltferent types of housing. but
rather to construct 100000
thoughtfully planned, structurally
sound, well-located homes to meet
the vast accumulated hou7ing needs
of the American people," he said.
With the aid of new Developments
in building products and methods
perfected to meet the requirements
OF the war program, these homes
Will represent definite improve
ment in design, in quality and in
economy of operation, but no
startling changes are in prospect"
he continued.
There is no doubt that many
manufacturers are preparing to
offer desirable improvements in
their products. Some of those de-
veloped for the war program and
already of proven merit, will be
available Immediately when civilian
home building is resumed. Others
are still in the blueprint and ex-
perlmental stage and cannot be
introduced until there has been time
to test and retest them and to
retool factories for quantity pro-
duction.
This process necessarily takes
many months. If any large num-
Der of manufacturers were to at
tempt to concentrate most Of their
early production on brand-new
lines. there would be serious
shortage of materials and equip
ment for long period and the
postwar home building program
would be seriously delayed.
Home builders are constantly on
the lookout for new developments
which will permit better, less costly
and more comfortable homes. The
postwar home will undoubtedly be
better heated and insulated than
ever before. 1t will be better lighted
and more livable, and will un-
doubtedly be a better value. but
If the public delays building and
purchase these homes in antic-
ipation of some revolutionary or
type, I feel immense harm
to the national economy will re-
suit. If the home building industry
is to supply employment to total
of 100000 people, the public must
not be misled by the wild dreams
of impractical visionaries."

Soft Wood SHORTAGE
Here Forces Builders
To Revise Estimates
BY FRED H. MoRHART. Jr.

The Federal Housing Administra
ton today urged builders of wa
housing to use all possible method
for the conservation of lumber
Locally, a check with building suppl,
companies indicates there is q short.
age Of softwoods and in many in.
stances hardwoods have to be usec
instead. The general explanation
is that softwood is being consumed
at such a high rate for Grating wal
materials that little is left for pri.
vate use.
In the local contracting and build
Ing field there has been a complaint
that cost-estimates for repairs and
low-cost housing have been in
creased because of the lack of lack
timber" for slash purposes. AS an
illustration, one contractor here
declared he searched for softwood
and failing to find what ordinarily
was used was forced to buy hard
wood to complete the job.
Revision of Estimates.
He added this necessitated a re-
vision of all estimates on future
work. This in turn was one of the
reasons the FILA called for conser-
vation by private builders and those
doing public jobs.
The administration has isued in
structions to field Offices to aid
builders "in every possible way Ii
their efforts to stretch the present
available supply of lumber as far
as possible
In these instructions to the FILA
field offices, it was stated that the
shortage Of board lumber is prob
ably more critical than that of di-
mension lumber and, accordingly,
efforts should be concentrated par
ticularly on economy in the use of
this type of lumber.
Great economy in the use of both
dimension and board lumber, it was
pointed out, can be obtained through
proper planning of proposed dwell
ing construction.
Room sizes and ceiling heights
should be designed to utilize franz
ing lumber and board lumber with
out waste. Plans having a minimum
of waste space in halls usually will
result In the need for fewest parti-
tions. More economical use Of
framing lumber in roofs generally
is obtained when the ridge is parallel
to the longer dimension of the dwell
ing, it was said.
Conservation Methods.
Other means of lumber conserva-
ton suggested by the FILA include:
l. Reference to the FHA's mini
mum construction requirements for
new dwellings, revised January 81.
1943. which may suggest acceptable
methods OF construction which con-
serve lumber and other critical
materials.
2. The use of concrete or masonry
trench walls or interior bearing walls
to eliminate the need for wood
girders.
8. Steel beams and columns used
instead OF wood girders and posts.
4. Precast concrete joists or steel
Joists used in conjunction with con-
crete floor slabs, especially when
exterior masonry walls are used
This construction provides a degree
OF fire resistance which is desirable
in multifamily dwellings.
5. Reinforced concrete construc-
ton for columns, beams and slabs.
This construction also provides fire
resistance for multifamily dwellings. :
e. Concrete floor slabs laid on the
ground, when this construction is
feasible.
7. Solid plaster Gypsum plaster
on plasterboard lath) for nonbearing
partitions.
