Horrible Ordeal.
So, my company suggested that I

arguing that the new McLemore
face would not take up half as much
room as the old McLemore kisser.
But so far, have managed to hold
out. I can think Of few ordeals more
horrible than that of going to a
photographers studio. All photog-
raphers are direct descendants Of
men who worked the thumbscrews

use different, more refined methods,
but the results are the same.
The torture of going to a photog-
rapher for portrait starts at home.
One must look ones best, so one
wears himself to thread getting on
just the right suit, just the right
shirt, just the right tie, and getting
the hair combed just the right way.
The torture continues as the VIC
tim makes his way toward the studio.
The wind blows his hair. The heat
brings on perspiration, and the collar
willis. The victim arrives looking
like a bit Of badly brought up fiot-

Such incidents occur in the best

whole Truman-Ickes-Pauley affair
will seem far less important than
1t seems now. The chances are
that it will then appear that while
Mr.. 1ckes contributed largely to the
highly desirable Pauley defeat, he
did not otherwise rock the earth.
Nor is it likely that the Pauley

Man Builds Bird Houses
From Single Rooms to go

KANKAKEE, ILL. Joseph H.
Dodson has built thousands of bird
houses and is still hard at it despite
his 81 years.
Dobson, considered ar authority
on American song birds and mem
Der of many pathological clubs,
lives at BIRD Lodge" where each
year over 400 of his feathered
friends find food and lodging.
Dodson has been building bird
houses for IS years. At present he
has a crew of five men helping him
construct two dozen types of bird
houses. His designs run from the
single room homes for wrens, to
seventeen apartments with 80 rooms
for purple MARITIME colonies.
Through many years of study,
Dodson learned what types of hous-
ing each bird likes, and the kind they
would return to each year. Homes
which include red cedar in their
structure are the most popular with
American song birds, Dodson discov-
cred.

Victim Says Improper
Care Curbs Leprosy War

CARVILLE, LA. - The country's
most widely publicized victim of
leprosy, Mrs. Gertrude Hornbostel,
declares public health authorities
are hampering conquest of the dis
ease by segregating its sufferers.
The policy of segregation, she
charges, tends to keep alive the
fear and horror" associated with
the name of leprosy, and frightens
many victims from submission to
proper treatment.
Her views are expressed in a
signed article in the current issue
of the Star, monthly magazine pub
lished by the patients of the U. S.

Building Items
Rule Tightens
Veterans Housing Now Will
Get Priorities on Most
Materials.

WASHINGTON. - Priorities or
surplus materials going into the
housing program were recently TAX
en- over by Housing Expediter Viii
son Wyatt. Fifty scarce materials
were added to the priority list.
Two orders were issued by Wyatt
which he said were designed to
speed the flow of surplus govern
ment-owned materials into the hous-
ing drive and into the veterans adj
ministration hospital building pro-
gram.
By the action, Wyatt displaced the
civilian production administration in
the management of purchase priori-
ties on surplus government building
supplies and water, power, gas and
sewer equipment.
Veterans housing now will get
preference OF mor than go types of
building materials, instead of the
80 previously covered, Wyatt an
nounced. Added to the list are a
wide range of household equipment
and builders supplies, including
stoves, refrigerators, oil burners,
light fixtures, linseed oil, putty,
shingles, water heaters, shower
stalls, sheet steel, linoleum cement,
lime, bricks and medicine cabinets.
Private Builders Next.
Exclusive priority, for a period
yet to be determined, will be grant
ed to the veterans administration
and to the federal public housing
authority, whose program to get
103, 900 temporary dwelling units
ready for veterans at colleges this
fall is tagging far behind schedule.
After those two agencies, private
builders participating in the hous-
ing campaign-those holding Wy
ats HH housing priority-will get
immediate access to the scarce ma
terials offered for sale by the war
assets administration.
Established building material
dealers who certify that they will
sell only to contractors holding the
housing priority also will get prefer
ence on the surplus goods, Wyatt
said.
The additional powers granted
Wyatt to e that surplus materials
were channeled into veterans hous-
ing were delegated to him by OPA
Administrator John D. Small, by a
special directive.
Extend Export Controls.
Export controls were extended to
restrict foreign shipment of 80 more
building materials or articles of
equipment described as urgently
needed in the veterans emergency
housing program" The commerce
departments office of international
trade (OIT) announced it had TAX
en- the action at the request of the
national housing agency.
The goods "a be exported only by
getting special licenses from the
DIT. Formerly they could be
freely.

Federal Building
Program Halted
Three Way Moratorium Is
Ordered Until Spring
By Director.

Inc BONSih-
ment's 81, 600, 900, 900 public works
program has come to a virtual halt
Federal agencies, under presidential
edict, have set about choosing $780,
000, 900 worth of construction to de-
fer at least until spring.
Calling the step necessary to
comply with the Presidents anti
imitation budget" Reconversion
Director John R. Steelman clamped
on a three-way moratorium that:
l. Prevents any agency from let
ting contracts for any new construc-
ton during the next Sc days with
out his express permission.
2. Provides that either Civilian
Production Administrator John D..
Small or Housing EXpeditor Wilson
W. Wyatt must recommend and
the reconversion director approve,
non-deferrable federal construction
to be started between October l,
1916, and April 1, 1947, and
3. Requires the agencies to put
on the deferred list at least $780,
000,000 worth of construction, some
of which may be eliminated en-
tirely.
No Projects Selected.
An official familiar with the NOR
atorium plans said that the search
for deferrable projects most likely
would turn first to such military
construction as warehouses and
officers clubs, some airports, and
certain agricultural conservation
and reclamation projects. Another
predicted that careful study also
would be given to flood control prof.
ects and to public highways.
These officials emphasized, how
ever, that no specific projects to be
postponed have yet been chosen.
They pointed out that agencies
have more than three weeks to re-
view their programs and submit
revised estimates to Steelman.
The reconversion director made
it clear that the moratorium does
not affect contracts already
awarded or funds which have been
committed for work scheduled to
start before October l.
Also exempted under the order
are projects costing no more than
$4,000, and veterans housing and
hospitals, overseas military prof.
ects, the Manhattan atomic energy
project and construction of access
roads to timber lands.
Asks State Co-Operation.
As an example of the drain the
federal program might impose on
supplies if it we're carried out in
full, a CPA official said it would
take about 81 per cent of the entire
of cement and about 8 per
cent of the total lumber output.
In calling for postponement or
of projects, Steelman
urged federal agencies making loans
Or grants to state and local groups
ito seek their cooperation in post
public works construction
this can be done without
i~eopardizing health, safety or es-
'ential services"
Among these federal agencies are
he public roads administration,
which makes dollar for dollar
for public highways, and the
,ivil ~aeronautics administration,
which makes similar grants for
airport construction.
Whether these projects will be in
.luded among those affected must
wait agency reports due to go to
'teelman by September 80.
