Godgets
Metal Slot Awning.
Like Venetian Blind,
Operates by Crank
By HiIson Munsey

Awnings are a great convenience
and blessing in the summer time
However, regular canvas awning has
some disadvantages. 1t traps the
hot air and sends it into the room,
and it is always fire hazard.
These disadvantages can be
avoided by using a metal awning
made on the principal of Venetian
blind, which is operated from the
room by small crank handle that is
easy to adjust to any degree of light
and shade. 1t is a permanent fixture
on the outside of the window and
does not have to be taken down in
the winter. Upkeep is small because,
being made of metal and with the
enamel burnt on. it requires neither
patching nor repainting 1t is also
free from mildew which is so apt to
ruin canvas.
These awnings are also weather.
proof when closed. and shed the
rain instead Of absorbing some of it.
There are various sizes, SO that their
usefulness is not confined to win
dows. They can be used to screen
porches and roof decks. The porch
sizes are made to order to the exact
opening size required and are also
sold with metal bound, removable
screen and glass openings. This
makes a sun parlor of the porch
during the winter months.
They are painted in the standard
colors of dark brown, Amherst red,

Housing Agency Acts
ION Broad Front 10
Lift Materials Supply
By W. Wordsworth Wood

The National Housing Agency
under Wilson Wyatt is moving
mountains to increase the supply
of scarce building materials for vet
erans' homes. Their difflculty is
that each product requires a sepa-
rate solution. Gypsum lath and
plaster materials, for example, have
been in short supply because of the
nonavailability OF suitable cargo
vessels to carry the needed gypsum
rock from Nova Scotia. Here the
answer has been to obtain more
shipping. The shortage of bricks,
has been largely caused by the labor
trouble. Since the adjustment Of
wages, brick production has risen
100 per cent.
Two major steps have been taken
to stimulate the output OF lumber
for residential building. New roads
are being built to out-of-the-way
timber stands. and it is expected
that this will add at least 100,
100000 board feet to this years
production. Another step has been
to persuade the United States
Forest Service to forget its con-
servation measures during the hous-
ing emergency and permit "overcut-
ting" of timber in the South and
West beyond the normal yield.
Passage of the Veterans Emer-
gency Housing Act. otherwise known
as the Patman bill, has enabled
Mr.. Wyatt to offer premium pay
ments to manufacturers of scarce
materials In further effort to
stimulate production. -Four hun
dred million dollars has been made
available to underwrite costs of ex-
panding existing plants and reopen
ing those closed after the war. Ply
wood, structural clay products and
gypsum paper liner manufacturers
have already been granted subsidies,
and similar payments are expected
to be made to makers of cast-iron

District Area Plant
Starts Production Of
Prefabricafed Homes
By Robert J. Lewis

The Hudson Supply 81 Equip
ment Co. has started to manufac-
ture prefabricated homes in 60
by-200-foot plant at Sixteenth
street and Arlington Ridge road,
Rosslyn, it was learned today.
The first two houses are expected
to be finished next week. Within
a few weeks, it is hoped to have
production stepped up to a house
a day. The goal is 40 houses a
month by September at the rate of
two day on the basis of a 20-day
work month.
The company is a ncensee for
manufacture of Ford Factory Built
Homes, Raymond B. Dunn, plant
manager, said today. The licensor
is firm located at McDonough,
N. Y.
Mr.. Dunn said no announcement
had been made of the plans to
manufacture the "prefabs" here
because the company had not been
certain when it could get into pro-
duction owing to materials short
ages. The materials situation is now
hampering production, but improve
ment is to be expected, he said.
Shortages of millwork. electric
wiring. conduits. plumbing items,
insulation and nails are especially
serious in the prefabricated field. he
said. The plant, converted ware
house, was ready for manufacturing
operations two and a half months
ago, he explained.
The basic" house to be turned
out will have two bedrooms, living
room, kitchen and bath. 1t will
have one story. Dimensions will be
"a by % feet. The house will be
available as a package" not in

The price is still a matter for

First Aid for
Houses
By Roger G. Whitman

Clnuer BLOCK In race OF brlck.
@. My wife and I disagree on the
subject of cinder block construction.
I had intended to use them in place
of brick in the construction of a
home. If I used them on a good
solid foundation, with good cement
coating on the outside similar to a
stucco job, why shouldn't they be
as good as the regular brick
masonry?
A. There is nothing wrong with
cinder block. Nails can be driven
into it and there is less conductivity
of heat and cold than with cement
block. But it is most advisable to
fur out the interior walls (to be
plastered or covered with wallboard
to provide an air space between the
masonry walls and the interior walls.
With this construction, the inner
walls will not become chilled by the
cold masonry. To prevent any pos

lot of labor. Consequently a lot Of
money.
The economically built home o1
today by-passes 10 per cent of ths
material and labor costs involved
in this orthodox method, and simply
nails ready-made wallboard directly
to the studding, and gets a. real jok
out Of 1t in the bargain.
Appraisal Of Costs.
The honest appraisal Of the two
methods resolves itself down to this
In the orthodox procedure, you have
first the job Of applying the lath
over the studs in a proper manner
You then have to apply the ground
or base coat of plaster. This must
be allowed to dry out properly. Then
you have to apply the brown OF
scratch coat, which must be applied
and dried properly. Then you have
to apply the finish-coat, which must
be permitted to dry out properly be-
fore 1t Is painted or papered. Net
cost-13 cents q square foot for the
lath and II cents for the three coats
of plaster, or approximately 25 cents
q square foot for your interior walls.
BY using the economical modern
method of dry-wall construction you
can have wallboard applied for
8 cents a square foot, including
material and labor trough finish)
or for Is cents a square foot ready
to paint or paper. In short there
is saving up to 40 per cent on
interior wall finish for modern
houses, If you care to make it.
