QUESTION: Why is a shank
bone ("zeroa") put on the tradi-
tional Seder plate?
ANSWER: In the Temple days
1t was customary to eat the Pas
cal lamb on the eve of the Pass
over, after it had been sacrificed.
Since we do not engage in liter
al animal sacrifices today, the
shank-bone is roasted and put
upon the traditional seder plate
to commemorate the ancient OBJ
servance in the Temple.
QUESTION: Why is a roasted
egg put upon the Seder plate?
ANSWER: Primarily, it serves
as a reminder of the additional
sacrifice during the Passover
called the "Chagigah." Many
consider it an omen of mourn
ing for the destruction of the
Temple, (mourners customarily
eat eggs. Others consider it a
challenge to the ancient Egyp-
tan taboo against eating meat
and eggs.

ANSWER: AS was mentioned
before, no leaven or article used
for leaven was to be found in
the Jewish household. Still, the
rabbis didn't expect us to throw
nut precious dishes and belong
ings every year. For this reason
a method was devised whereby
all leaven possessions could be
sold to non-Jewish ownership
through legal means at the
hands of the rabbi. All that hap
pens is that the head of the
household visits the Rabbi and
agrees to make him his agent in
transferring the ownership of
his leaven possessions to nom
Jewish hands.

Selection Of Proper Site
BY w. WADsWORTH WOOD.

ny W. WhDSWOnAH II "OODs
OF all the decisions to be made
with the building Of q home, there Is
none of greater Importance, In my
opinion, than that Of selecting the
proper site. Thousands Of people
have invested their savings in SUBJ
stantial little houses without due
consideration Of the neighborhood,
and have found themselves with a.
good house In very bad location.
The simple fact is that they acted
hastily. did not investigate thorough
ly, or were influenced by some motive
other than the cold common sense
that is required in building and real
estate transactions.
In my opinion, bad judgment in
site selection is obsolete for two rea-
sons. The first Is that no lending
institution will loan money on a site
for residential building, unless they
are satisfied that 1t has a reasonably
decent future ahead Of it. The Sec
ond is that there is cut and dried
formula by which any one can meas
ure land value. 1t involves exactly
eight basic questions, as follows:
l. Neighborhood - Is the general
character good? Is it protected by
zoning ordinances against depreciat-
ing influences such as factories,
rooming houses and apartments?
Is it zoned for residential purposes
only?
Q. Development-Are the houses
all of approximately the same value,
character and state of repair?
MANY vacancies are suspicious.)
Even development OF a community
usually means satisfaction for the
homeowners.
3. Location-Is the plot reason
ably near schools, churches, stores
and transportation facilities?
A. Utilities-Are water supply, gas
and electric services, sewers and
telephone connections available to
the plot?
S. Assessments-Are these liable
to be levied against your property
for paving. curbing, storm-sewers
street lighting or planting? A we'll
developed community will already
have all of these in and paid for.

andria, Va. Altogether he has built
about 1000 houses.
Currently he is engaged in finish
ing about go houses in East Hills,
colored development at East Capt.
tol street and Benning road NE.
His program for the year, exclud-
ing the East Hills houses, which will
be completed soon, includes 122
veterans preference houses, plus
54 apartment units in the East
Hills development. On the draw
ing boards, right now. he says are
plans for two-bedroom houses in the
Southeast section.
OF the years program, he. expects
30 or 40 per cent to be under way
by late spring. Mr.. Carr is also
planning to build low-cost homes
later on a 600-acre tract at Fair
fax Station, Va, about IS miles
from Washington.
Washington home builders are
looking forward this year with
special interest to the National As
sociation of Home Builders conven-
tion-exposition in Chicago from
February 25 to %. Hitherto build
ing materials and equipment manu-
facturers haven't been able TO show
many products developed during the
war.
This year, however, a big display Of
new gadgets, materials and tech
niques is expected. What builders
believe this will add UP to is plenty
of ideas about how to turn out
lower-cost homes.
Plans are afoot for Standard
Properties, Woodward Building, to
start large-scale operations in low
cost housing at its development,
East Pines, in the East Riverdale,
Md, area. During the eafly part OF
the war this firm built 219 units
there.
Starting this spring, according to
Clarke Daniel, a firm member, will
be program of 165 dwellings for
sale and 40 rental apartments-all
slated for completion this year.

The general public is invited to

Central part of the demonstration
will show different types of war
housing structures that already are

veterans in overcrowded municipal
tiles and on college campuses.
Under an appropriation of S191,-
100000 recently passed by the Con-
gress, 100000 surplus units are to be
relocated.
Buildings erected include a two
family demountable house, a port
able dwelling unit, a one-story null
tiple dwelling unit, a two-story null
tiple dwelling unit, one STORY war
dormitory, a two-story war dormi-
tory, standard trailer, an expan-
sible trailer and an Army barracks
All buildings in the demonstra-
ton were cut into panels on their
former sites, moved by truck OF

in their original form or converted
into other types of buildings. In
the. veterans section a one-story

family units demonstrating how
they are to be converted into living
accommodations for families of war

Henry Sees Market
For $4,000 Dwellings
Here in Next Decade

A market for about $4,000 new
dwelling units in the next 10 years
in the Washington area and a "po-
tential need" for many more Is
ahead for the home building indus
try, Ernest F. Henry. executive di-
rector of the Home Builders OF
Metropolitan Washington, esti-
mated today
Distinguishing between need"
and demand" Mr.. Henry said
studies he had made indicated there
would be market for 10000 new
dwelling units year for the next
five years, with demand tapering
off to 5000 a year for the next
succeeding five years.
AS for total housing needs, Mr..
Henry said this was difficult If
not impossible to estimate" since
it involved such unknown factors
as how many veterans would want
to establish homes, how many resi-
dents would leave Washington,
elimination of substandard homes,
and "undoubling" of families now
living two or more to home, and
other factors.
After the problem of manpower
and materials shortages is solved,
Mr. Henry said, Washington home
builders will get into full stride. He
said he was confident that when
the shortage headache was cured,
the home building industry would
be fully able" to supply ANY num-
her" of houses for which there was
demand.
AS for the immediate future, Mr..
Henry indicated that unless ma
terials supply changes, the city will
do well to get 5000 homes in the
next year. Right now, he said, about
200 homes are under construction,
and builders are starting new con-
struction as swiftly as materials
become available.

The attic needs all-year ventila-

air from the rest of the house in
summer. This need is most appar-
ent In houses with a hip roof, be-
cause this type does not provide
for any attic windows.
Proper ventilation can be sup

These louvers are made from 26-

They are given an enamel finish at

First Aid
For the
Aiing House
BY ROGER b. WHITMAN.

Question: My large picturet win
dow was not alright, so made a
storm window for it. But on some
days water accumulates in between
those two windows as much as a half
inch deep. What can I do to keep
the air between these windows dry?
I drilled two small holes in the bot
tom of the outside window, but they
did not help.
Answer-The trouble may be from
leakage at the top of the storm sash.
Even small crack would admit
enough water to accumulate between
the two windows. I suggest that you
close the crack with caulking COM
pound. 1t may be, however, that the
water comes from condensation of
the warm, damp house air that seeps
out around the edges of the picture
window. On striking the cold glass
of the storm sash 1t would condense
and collect in the way you describe
The remedy in that case is to close
the cracks around the picture win
dow with caulking compound.
Creaking Floors.
Question: I bought a house about
18 years old and the floors creak. Is
there any remedy?
Answer - If occasional boards
creak, you may be able to stop the
noise by driving long finishing nails
in pairs at opposite angles. Drive
the nail heads below the surface of
the boards with a nailset and fill the
holes with wood putty. For best
results, locate the floor joists and
nail into them. When creaking oc-
ours on the first floor and joists in
the basement are open, you may be
able to stop it by driving thin ends
OF shingles under the loosened SUBJ
flooring. II squeaking occurs all
