REVISED CONTROL ON CONSTRUCTION
 NOW ANNOUNCED

Norman s. Stines, Area RepreSen- tative of the War Production Board, says Order L-41, which controls all construction, as of May 29, has been considerably revised.
 Construction, additions or remod- cling of buildings in any one year, for occupancy of one family may now be undertakn without an ap- plication for permit to construct if the cost does not exceed 1000; for occupancy by two families, $2,000, for occupancy by three families, $3,OOO; occupancy by four families, $4,OO0; and for occupancy by five families, $5,O00 As before, repairs and maintenace to keep the struc- ture in a scund working condition and safe for occupancy may be done at whatever expenditure required
 A farm, not including the farm house, may, spend up to $1,000 in the construction of any necessary building
 In any one year, a hotel, apart ment building, or other residence for six or more families, may spend in new construction or remodeling, up to $5,O00, but if the repairs and maintenance exceed a sum equal to the number of square feet of liv- ing space in the building times twen- ty cents, then the excess must be charged against this $5,000 annual allowance for new construction.
 The same allowance of S5,000 and the same conditions as to repair and maintenance apply to an office, bank, store, laundry, garage. restaur- ant, theatre, warehouse or other re- tail or wholesale service establish ment, including a frozen locker plant.
 In the. case of church, hospital, school, college, USO Club, public playground fpr children, publicly owned building or group of build ings, orphanage Cor other buildings used exclusively for charitable pur- poses) and a military exchange on an Army or Navy reservation may have spent in new construction or remodeling during any calendar year up to $10,0O0 without obtaining permission from the War Produc- ton Board.
 The above applies only to the total cost of the work to be done but priorities are still required to obtain those items needed in any building where the orders or regulations of the War Production Board still con- trol the manufacture and delivery of such items.

Cat and Two Dogs
Comprise Anacostia
Girls 'Menagerie'
& PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Barbara Moore, II,


First, there's Pretty Boy, the cat,
and a very pretty cat he is, too. He
has yellow stripes like a tiger and
small green eyes that glisten. He's
about 3 years old, and is getting
large and fat. My father thinks
he's crazy because he would rather
eat raw cabbage and potatoes than
meat, but say he's just a little
bit eccentric.
Then there's Bones-and I'm not
Just kidding about that name. He's
purebred red-boned raccoon
hound which my father has con-
verted into passing rabbit dog.
He's reddish brown, with a black
eye and a very black damp nose,
large foppy ears and huge we'll
padded paws. His voice is deep and
carries well, especially on a clear,
cold night when the hunting season
is in full swing.
Sweet, high-spirited little Midge
comes next in the Moore me
nagerie." She's a rat terrier, an
extra small one, at that. Midge
has been pampered ever since Sne
came to our house about two and
q half years ago. She's tan and
white, with misty large brown eyes
and a stubby tail which is wag-
ging constantly. She sometimes
looks as though she is grinning
because her top lip rolls back and
her teeth show as bats do.
Dad says we have three little
pigs, too, but my sister, brother
and I don't agree.

The name Sahara" comes from
an Arabic word meaning waste, u
and it is in general good descrip-
ton. Yet there are spots which
are by no means wasteland. These
are known as "oases," and they
are numbered by the score.
The oases of the Sahara cover
about $4,000 square miles all told
and many contain villages or small
cities. The town of Wargla will
serve as an example. 1t is collec-
ton OF one-story houses, built of
adobe. The streets are so narrow
that a man on horseback cannot
easily turn his mount around. Over
each doorway there is usually a SEN
tence or phrase from the Koran,
the sacred book of the Moham-
medans.
Dates are the chief products Of
this oasis, and there are about
1000, 900 trees. The trees are wa
tered with the help of artesian
wells.
Some oases are fed by springs,
others by underground lakes. The
desert soil would be fertile in most
parts If water could be obtained
anA where nature now supplies
moisture, trees and shrubs flourish
There are acacia and mimoSa
trees as.well as palms, and at GER
tain spots we also find tobacco, cot
7on, melons, cucumbers, lemons,
oranges and almonds.
The people of the desert number
about l,500, 900. Most of them live

on the oaseS, but there are tribes
which spend wandering lives. They
are, in general, of mixed blood
Arab, Berber, Lybian and Negro.
In spite of the buslines started
in the present century camels re-
main the chief means of transpor-
tation. They are well built to serve
as ships of the desert" Their two
toed feet spread in a manner which
prevents much sinking into the
sands.
To give camel good drink is
a task, since the animal will take
from II to is gallons at one time.
Some desert wells are 200 feet deep.
Imagine a camel driver letting
down half-gallon canvas bucket
into such well and pulling 1t up
enough times to water" a group
of 10 camels!
Hard as that might be, camels
more than make up for any trouble
they cause. Day after day they keep
on travelling without need for more
water.
Some years ago an Englishman
named Cameron made trip across
the Sahara with II c4inels. Cam
eron and the men with him had a
small supply of water for them
selves, but no wells could be found
to enable them to water the camels.
At the end Of six days all the
camels were alive. When the trip
ended, after 10 days of struggle
through the desert, f1ve camels had
died but six had come through
alive.

PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Rita Botkin, II,
Stuart Inrinr Einh Cchnal

Milfred Short. Is, a student at
Stuart Junior High, is very much
interested in radio. His hobby
started in Colorado when he was
about II years old. He and a group
of boys went into the basement of
an old house, where they found
about so old radios. They asked the
man if they could experiment with
some of them, and that started him
on his radio hobby.
He repairs radios for some of his
friends once in a while.
Once, when he was working with
some thin wire which he had strung
all around the house, some of it got
caught on a 110-volt wire. The
house was full of smoke for hours.
Right now, he is interested in
television and radar. He plans to
open an amateur radio station in
about six, months.
He Is also planning to take a
course in engineering, and next
summer will go to Chicago for two
weeks to take a television and elec-
trio training course.
