Closets are one of the worst
housekeeping problems in spring
time. Like everything else we have
to do these days, it's lot more fun
to do all the necessary demothing
and cleaning If we can add bright
colorful decoration when the work
is complete.
Make your plans for rearranging
your closets for more convenience
and make them pretty to look at
at the same time. Shop for conven-
fence items such as shoe racks, gar
ment bags, hat boxes and hangers,
so you will have a place for every
thing. Shop also for bright shelf
edgings or put in little time deco
rating with fabric or wallpaper tc
make you proud of your housekeep-
ing proves.
Strip the closet down and give it
a good cleaning. If it has painted
walls they may be washed. If it
needs repainting give it good going
over, working the paint down around
the Dashboard and into all the
cracks.
Paint Deters Moths.
Oil paint is a very efficient moth
deterrent, and it also discourages
every other pest such as silver fish
buffalo bugs and their ilk.
If your closets are papered and
look dingy you may freshen them
with one of the wallpaper paints.
You can cut out wallpaper motif or
use one of the smart little wall
paper borders to make them look
pretty.
If you have vacuum cleaner, turn
on the 'demother" for 80 minutes
as a final barrage against these
pests. Then you are ready to place
your possessions.
Shoe Racks Are Aid.
A shoe rack may be screwed to
the door or the wall 1t will hold &c
pairs of shoes and keep them off the
floor so you will not have to move
them for cleaning You will find
many other hanger helps made of

umbrellas and similar things.
If your closet has waste space
because it has no shelves take care
of this Immediately Shelves are
not difficult to put up. The average
housewife with saw, a hammer
and a few nails can put in light
shelves. A cleat of moulding nailed
into the wall will hold a light board
shelf. A tier of these will hold in
Vulnerable shoe boxes, sectional
boxes for hose and other small
things, hat boxes and cabinets fol-
purses.
You may make washable CLOTH
covers for the shelves or use oil

MIA Program Calls
For Moving Of $500
Temporary Homes

The National Housing Agency re-
ported today that $500 family
dwelling units and 1000 dormitory
units not now needed on their pres
ent sites will be moved to essential
areas under its program of refusing
publicly financed war housing. AL
ready number of the temporary
homes have been started on their
way down the Ohio River from vari-
Gus factory points.
However, in the immediate Wash
ington Metropolitan area it Is not
expected that demountables will be
taken down in the near future
though plans have been made in a
general way for their removal as
soon as possible. Housing of this
nature in this area is considered by
Government officials to be compare
lively stabilized by emergency war
workers who are not likely to be
moved because of industry as has
been the case in other cities.
In addition to using this housing
for war workers accommodations in
new localities, many projects are to
be utilized, either on the site OF by
movement, as hospitals, recuperative
centers, nurses homes, schools, bar
racks for new or expanding military
establishments.
In the most spectacular moving
project yet undertaken, 100 family
dwelling units are being taken in
tact on river barges from Point
Pleasant, w, Va, to Camp Brecken-
ridge, KY. The structures, each con-
tanning two-family units, are moved
by trailer truck to the bank of the
Ohio River, where they are loaded
on barges and foated 500 miles to
their new location
In another move, 200 demountable
houses at Kingsbury-LaPorte, Ind,
were taken down in sections and
moved in trailer trucks to Port
Clinton, Ohio, a distance of 200
miles, where they were regretted at
a new war housing project.
An additional 172 demountables'
are being moved from Kingsbury-
LaPorte to Chambersburg, Pa, and
100 are scheduled to be moved to
Indianapolis, Ind; ISL to South
Bend, Ind; 100 to Rittman, Ohio;
80 to Newton, Iowa; 1893 to Detroit,
Mich; 120 to Seneca, ILL.,, and about
500 are being turned over to the
Army for removal to military reser-
vations to house civilian workers.
In another removal project, 50

program for adding living units in
existing structures. 17,478 publicly

During February, 1928 new units

Friendly Veterans
While in Chicago, we had look-see
at the forty fifth national encampment
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
which was held here. The enthusiastic
reception they gave President Green
when he appeared on the platform to
address them, augurs well for better
relations in the future between organ
lied labor and the veterans.
1t became evident, while Mr.. Green
was speaking, that the veterans are
now just as interested as labor in
postwar questions. What they want,
just as the nations workers, is the
opportunity for a good job at decent
pay when the war ends for themselves
and for the millions of servicemen who
will be returning home.
We don't like to draw hard-and-fa
conclusions from mere surface indi-
cations, but we got the impression
that the Veterans of Foreign Wars is
a more democratic organization than
other veterans groups whose meet
ings we have attended in the past.
We didn't see a banker or high
binding politician in the whole conven-
tion We did see several friends of
ours from Washington who served
overseas in the last war and are reg
ular working stiffs like the rest of us.
They didn't try to high-hat the union
representatives who addressed their
convention. On the contrary, they
welcomed them.
No wonder the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars is now the fastest growing serv-
icemen's organization. If the Amer

Nelson cautioned a press conference
that only simple items will be pro-
duced Immediately, as result of his
order permitting civilian production
where manpower, materials and fa-
cilities are available.
However, as the labor picture eases,
more production will be made possi-
BILE, he said.
The slash in war production after
the defeat Of Germany will bring a
period of unemployment while indus
try is being reconverted, Nelson said,
but the length of the period of idle
ness will depend on the thoroughness
with which WPB, other government
agencies, and private industry plan
for the changeover.
Nelson expressed confidence that
the War Manpower Commission
would not place undue obstacles in
the path of reconversion and cited
statement he issued jointly with
Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the War
| Manpower Commission, as evidence
that the two agencies were working
| together. War Mobilizer James F.
Brynes, in recent directive, author
lied the War Manpower Commission
to veto any proposals for a new ci-
william production of the manpower re-
quired was needed elsewhere.
The McNutt-Nelson statement en-
phasized that "war production has
first claim on the nations manpower,"
but added:
'That there should be the maximum
resumption of civilian production con-
sistent with war production needs;
that therefore, wherever labor and
materials are available which are not
needed in, or cannot be made avail
able for, war production, they should
be employed in civilian production"
