Removing Wallpaper From
Wallboard.

Q. Would steaming the paper off
wallboard harm the Withdrawing?
We have scraped and peeled one
room before papering and it was
such slow job. We would like to
steam the other rooms if possible.
A. If only enough steaming is
done to loosen the paper, no harm
will be done to the wallboard.
Ceiling Stained by Fuel Oil.
@. There is large grease spot on
my plastered ceiling, caused by the
spilling Of fuel oil in the attic room
overhead. How can this spot be
covered before painting, so that the
grease will not soak through?
A. If the stain is from clean kero-
sene, the discoloration may disap-
pear in a few weeks time. But if a
heavier oil made the strain, the
plaster should be cut out and the
damaged area replastered. Be sure
the trouble overhead has been taken
care of before you have the place re-
plastered. New plaster must have
time to dry out before it can be
painted with oil paint. Casein paint,
or a water emulsion paint can be
used soon afterward, however.

CPA Is Urged to Holt
Dissipation of Lumber

Fraser Gardner, chairman of the
Expediting Subcommittee of the
District Combined Veterans Com
mittee for Housing, today urged the
Civilian Production Administration
to prevent lumber from being dis
sipated into nonessential uses"
He cited as an example that dog
houses, complete with floors," are
being offered on the local market.
These dog houses, he said, are made
Of hard-to-get fir lumber
1T is shocking to know that while
many veterans must rely on tenn
porary houses because they cannot
get lumber, that same lumber is
going into permanent dog houses
at fancy prices" he said.

ID. &. Rent Control Chief Calls
Eviction Situation Serious
By Robert J. Lewis

The rising number of eviction
proceedings growing out of the de.
sire OF owners and purchasers OF
dwellings to obtain possession fol-
their own occupancy, or to remodel
alter or demolish the buildings, has
created "a serious situation" in the
District area.
That is the view of Robert F
Cogswell, District Rent Control Adj
ministrator, who said today that the
situation has become particularly
difficult for families with children.
Unless new building is provided
the problem posed by actions for
possession may reach very serious
proportions" Mr.. Cogswell said.
Notices Increase.
Comparative figures provided by
Mr.. Cogswell show that notices re-
|questing tenants to quit premises
which have been filed so far this
year exceed the totals for each of
the first and second six-month
periods last year.
In the fve-month and 12-day
period from January l to June IL,
this year, 1862 families were noti-
fed to vacate in the District alone
For the first six months of last
year, 1,277 families were notified
and for the second six months, 1,145
families.
Other than for nonpayment of
rent, violating an obligation of ten
ancy or committing a nuisance, it
was explained that the District rent
control law permits eviction proceed
ings to be started in the Landlord
and Tenant court in cases in which

Charles j. Rush, secretary of the

Compartment Bath
Aids Large Family
By w. Wodsworth Wood

Things have moved rapidly ahead
In the development of modern bath
rooms. Probably the greatest in
novation of all is the new two, three
or four-passenger bathroom. BY
clever experimentation, or divid-
ing of the space formerly devoted to
the average bathroom, it is now
possible and practical to give each
of the fixtures its own small room
and have them used with complete
privacy. What this means to the
family with children all getting
ready for school at the same time
that the adults are preparing for
the days work, can we'll be imagined.
1t is equally as convenient and
modern a touch for the elaborate
home.

Godgets
Screens of Plastic
Resist Rust and
Protect Window Stills
By HiIson Munsey

There will be many cases at this
time of the year where window
screens will have to be repaired and
the screening in them replaced. To
do this, 1t is now possible to obtain
screening made of the same tinted
plastic fllament that, is used in up
holstery and footwear.
There are many advantages to
plastic screening. 1t will not rust
or corrode and it is stronger than
metallic screening of the same
weave. 1t also lets in more light
and while it will outlast metallic
screening it costs about the same.
It's noncorrosive quality does away
with the danger of green stains or
rusty streaks on the woodwork and
walls. 1t is impervious to the eff
fects of acids and alkalies as we'll
as heat, moisture and salt air. Tint
ing in the plastic will not fade
and there is no need for vanishing
or painting. The screening can be
cleaned very easily and quickly with
a garden hose.
The screening will resist denting
bullying and punctures. 1t is very
resilient and will spring back fiat
when anything presses against it
At present it is sold only in green
tint but in the near future it will
be possible to obtain other shades
Water Putty.
A plastic material made from
wood that has the same consistency
as flour before it is mixed with
water will be found to be a useful
thing to keep on hand at all times
for the many small repair jobs al
ways occurring. It is very simple
to mix. All that is needed is to
add sufficient water to form a putty
1t can be used to repair wood,
plaster, cement, tile, stone or fiber
board. If color is necessary it can
be added to the powder before mix
ing with water. When the putty
is dry it can be sawed, chiseled,
nailed, polished or nodded. If used
on the outside of the house, little
varnish or shellac added will make
it waterproof. After the putty has
dried on a repair job it should be
sandpapered smooth. 1t takes paint
as well as any other form of wood.
1t can be used to set loose handles
and to fill up screw holes which
have become too large for the screw.
DOT Interior Paint.
Since the war the inSecticide
DOT has come into general use.
1t is now incorporated in paint to
be used for interior decorating.
This is water paint which en-
bodies the principles of both oil and
water paint. The application of a
single coat will cover the surface
to be painted and this includes wall
paper, plaster, cement, wallboard,
brick, wood and metal. There is
no odor to the paint and it dries
within an hour. It is made in 10
different colors which are non
fading. Finger marks and dirt can
be removed by washing after the
paint has had 30 days to thor
oughly dry out. 1t is easy to mix.
The linseed oil is in the paint
and all that is required is the addi-
ton OF water at the rate of three
quarts to five pounds of the powder.
The manufacturers directions for
mixing should be followed carefully,
