 These foods are among the good sources of one or more of the vita mins of the B-complex, and recent studies show "that individuals suf- fering from deficiencies of the vie tamin B-complex tire easily and show greater diminished ability to do work. This Is true even if the deficiency Is mild and not accom- panied by frank clinical manifesto tionS."
 The foods suggested in rules for good nutrition supply all necessary food factors adequately, including, of course, needed amounts of vita mins of the B-complex. This gives further reason for following good nutrition" every day, even - per- hapS especiallyl-in hot weather.

In summertime, one Is quite like ly to attribute . poor appitite and unusual fatigue to "the hot wea- ther" and undoubtedly hot wea- ther can account for some degree of debility. However, before accept ing the weather as the entire cause of these symptoms, why not check your food to see whether 1t sup plies all the factors, which are nec- essary for health and vitality? The vitamin B-complex plays a very iEn- portant part in preventing fatigue.

To install this Dashboard, the back
Of the base and also the underneath
part OF the compression toe is spread
with cement. Then the length of
the base piece is placed against the
wall before the cement begins to

against the wall and pushed down
gently until the compression toe fol-
lows the contours of the floor. An
ordinary paperhanger's roller is a
good tool to use in pressing the base
against the wall and so distributing
the cement under it evenly. If roll

Limitations Of Order
On Veterans HOUSING
Are Pointed Out
By w. Wordsworth Wood

The Veterans Emergency Hous-
ing Programs Order No. limits home
building today to the following cate
gories of persons: Veterans, former
members of the merchant marine or
allied armed forces, civilians who
were prisoners of war, and widows of
veterans.
Those who need housing and do
not fall into one of the above groups
may apply to the local FILA Office
for consideration as a hardship
case," but in each instance the ap-
plication must be forwarded to a
board of appeals in the national
FHA office here, and approval to
build will be granted only where dis
tress of the most extreme and un-
usual nature can be shown.
Construction not affected by the
provisions of the construction limita-
ton order includes the following
Housing for veterans and other spe-
cial cases (above) construction work
begun prior to March 26; certain
farm, public utility, and community
work; and most industrial repair
work.

Grease on Wall Behind Stove.

oAS"SS VII w oAA 1NhInu StONSs
Question: There is grease on the
wall behind my stove How can
I clean this part of the wall, so
that when the clean paper is on,
it will not come through again?
The grease seems to have pene-
trated into the plastering.
Answer-You can get the grease
out by means of thick paste made
of mixture of an absorbent pow
der and a noninflammable spot
removing liquid. Be sure the liquid
is not inf1ammable, because of the
fire hazard so close to the stove
For the powder, you can use fuller's
earth, powdered whiting or some
thing similar. Let the paste remain
on the spots until dry and then re-
move with a soft brush. You may
need to repeat the paste treatment
several times. Do not make the
mistake of hanging wallpaper be-
hind the stove. You should put up
a material that will be hard, glossy
and, if possible, fire-resistant. Wall
tile would serve very well, being
easy to clean. 1t will not be neces-
sary to finish the entire room with
tile-only the area behind the stove.
Wallpaper is not suitable for kitch-
en- walls. The oilcloth type of wall
covering would give better service.
Suitable finishes are enamel, wall
linoleum, tile or imitation tile and
wailcloth. Not all of these are avail
able at present.

1OPA to Grant Price Rise to Two D. C. Brick Plants
West Bros. and United
Clay Products to Get
Substantial Boost
By Robert J. Lewis

Substantial increases in the
ceiling prices of brick produced at
two local plants-the West Bros.
Brick Co., whose owner last week
threatened to shift to hollow tile
production, and the United Clay
Products Co., are due momentarily,
it was learned today.
The exact amount of the increases
could not be learned.
In both cases, the firms them
selves applied for the ceiling price
boosts, though not at the same
time, and through different chan
nels.
In the case of the West Bros.
Brick Co., l.. Perry West, owner,
said he had applied to the New
York regional OPA Office for an
increase of Sc per thousand brick
early in March.
Received 60-Cent Rise.
Instead of the Sc requested, he
received a 60-cent rise early in
May, he said. He then appealed for
a review of the case by the Ma
tional OPA office, declaring, mean
while, that he was losing money
on brick" and would discontinue
production unless larger increase
was granted.
The impending additional in
crease will be granted by the Ma
tional OPA Office in a reversal of
the decision of the New York
regional Office, it was understood.
In the case of the United Clay
Products Co., a spokesman for
that concern said the firm had ap-
piled for an increase to the National
OPA Office several weeks ago. In
the absence of E. Taylor Chewing
president Of the firm, the spokes-
man said he did not know whether
OPA was asked to grant a specified
amount or whether that question
was left completely to the agency
to decide on the basis of cost data
submitted in support of the request
The United Clay Products Co
plant is located at New York ave-
nue. and Bladensburg road NE, ane
the West Bros. plant at 1000 Sheriff
road, Prince Georges County, Md.
The present ceiling price PEI
thousand for common brick sold by
the United Clay Products Co. i
$24.75, delivered, the firm said.
The delivered price for the Wes
Bros. firm is $2435, including tn,
60-cent increase recently granted
Mr.. West said.
Mr.. West withheld comment or
the report ceiling price rise was il
the ofhng until I am notified.
Earlier he had commented that HI
had started production of hollow till
as he said he would do. He addee
that he had backlog of orders fol
3,0000 900 to 100000 brick that h,
would fill, but that unless he re.
ceived a price increase which woule
allow him ito operate at a profit,
he would continue hollow tile pro
duction as he said he would do.
AS evidence of his intention. h,
said, he had turned down orders fo.
between 100000 and 10000 ,0O(
bricks during the last week.
I'm not taking orders for hollow
tile yet, in order that I can accu
mulate stock" he said. There /
hardly any produced on the Atlantis
Coast, and I don't anticipate n
have any trouble selling it."

Housing Administrator Wilson
W. Wyatt announced that new
dividing line prices" on veterans
homes could not be set at the pres
ent time.
In a statement June 18, Mr..
Wyatt said:
"A breakdown in price control
would mean, inevitably, that the
Veterans Emergency Housing Pro-
gram, as now planned, would be
unattainable, and would almost
certainly eliminate the hope OF
producing moderate and low-cost
homes in the next year or two"
The fate of the 100000 900 SUBJ
sidy program also may remain to
be settled in the wake of probable
sharp upward revision of price CELL
ings, it was indicated.
? The present dividing line price"
for veterans homes in the Dis
trict is $780, The rental dividing
line is SIC month. The Federal
Housing Administration indicated
previously that it would seek to re-
duce those levels.
Under the Wyatt plan, at least
Is per cent of the housing goal
would be for rental housing, and at
:. least half of the Is per cent would
1pe required to built to rent for less
Than $40 a month here. The rest
could be built to rent for a maxi
mum of $50.
OF the remaining rs per cent of
the housing goal, at least half
would be required to be built to
cost less than $500.
The remainder could be sold at
$4,000 top limit.
