Export Plan Studied
On 100000 Pounds Of
Flour MiNed Here

Possibility that the Agriculture
Department will buy up remaining
mill stocks of dark -four was well
coined by the wilkins Rogers Mill
ing Co., 1851 K street NV, as its
sole means of disposing of 200, 600
pounds of the commodity.
Milled as an emergency measure
to make more wheat available for
relief uses abroad, the dark flour
has become white elephant to
many mills since the Government
ruled that normal milling of white
-four may be resumed Sunday.
An Agriculture Department off,
cial said the purchase plan was
being studied but that no decision
would be made until it was ascer-
tanned whether mills. generally
could dispose of their dark flour
stocks.
S. H. Rogers, vice president of
the Wilkins-Rogers Co., said there
may be no way of disposing
of $4,000 worth of self-rising flour
if the Government did not buy it.
The flour on hand is put up in
small bags, ranging from 2 to 10
pounds, which makes it harder to
dispose of, he said.
Mr.. Rogers said the mill would
reconvert to white flour manufac-
ture Tuesdayaeven if it has to stand
loss on the dark flour.
The Agriculture Department
spokesman said that dark flour, If
bought by the department, would be
used in meeting export needs of
countries accustomed to darker

the condition by rubbing with finest
sandpaper, wiping with turpentine
and then touching up with one or
two coats of quick-drying varnish
This will be patch job, and will
not be as good as If the whole top
were refinished.
Unfinished Floor.
Question: We wish to refinish the
floor of one Of our rooms. This floor
has never been sanded, and is dark
and muddy looking. We must do the
work ourselves. Can you tell us how
to remove the old varnish and give
the floor a lighter, brighter finish?
Answer: Try to rent a sanding
machine in good condition, SO that
it will not damage the floor, and
have the dealer show you how to
use it. You can probably arrange
for the machine through your hard
ware dealer. (Of course, you under
stand that a floor contractor could
do better work than an amateur)
After wiping up the dust you can
finish the floor with a penetrating
wax or nquld moor seal, or perhaps
two coats of shellac or floor varnish.
For further protection of the finish,
the floor can be given one or two
thin coats of paste wax, each coat
we'll polished when dry and hard.
Protection for Open Porch Floor.
Question: Please advise me how
to protect an outside open porch
floor.
Answer: If the floor is painted,
and this paint is now wearing of,
remove all loose, peeling paint by
brushing and sweeping. Try to
get the surface as clean as you can
without the use Of water. Cloths
wet with turpentine will help to
clean off dust, etc. Then apply two
or more coats of top-quality porch
paint, thinning the first one accord
ing to directions on the paint can.

pair work to be done, that, too
should be attended to before the
paint is applied. The MANUFACTURED
of the paint also supplies various
coatings and plastics for that pur-
pose.
When the roof is, in shape the
paint should be. thoroughly stirred
so that the asphalt and aluminium
are well mixed. One coat applied
evenly over the surface will be sum-
cient to cover the surface adequately
and a 6-inch bristle brush should
be used. Fiber brushes do not do
as good a job. The paint will dry
in an hour and be ready for use In
three or four hours. Warm weather
is better for the job than cold; the
asphalt will flow more easily and do
a better covering Job.
This paint must not be expected
to waterproof leaking roofs: They
must be repaired before the paint Is
put on. If the asphalt or tar roof
is new it should be allowed to
weather long enough to harden the
surface. That would take about a
year in cold climates and half that
time in hot sections. This paint
should be used just as it comes from
the can. No thinners or mixers
should be added.

ly of all the diseases which attack
young people from Is to 35.
tuberculosis at that age is by no
means a death sentence. 1t can be
cured at any age. But the treatment
for the disease means an interrupt
ton of normal activities for months.
The risk of catching tuberculosis
would be greatly reduced if young
people formed good health habits and
adhered to them throughout their
lives.
Of course, the surest way of never
getting tuberculosis is never to come
into contact with tubercle bacilli, the
germ which causes the disease. But
We can never be sure we shall not
come into contact with the disease
in fact, we can be certain we shall.
We can arm ourselves in advance,
however, so that when we meet the
germ we, not they are the victors.

8 to 10 hours-by eating nourishing
meals which include meat, green's,

Health For All
TIP AMONG THE YOUNG

Of all the diseases which afflict
man tuberculosis takes the greatest
toll of lives among young people be-
tween IS and 35 years of age.
tuberculosis is no respector of per-
sors-it strikes young and old, rich
and poor. No race is immune to it.
Wherever it strikes, it brings suffer-
inc. No one can say who suffers
most from tuberculosis. 1t is al
ways tragic for the individual to
learn that he has the disease, and it
is tragic for his family, whether
he is young or whether he has passed
the bloom of youth and is approach
ing middle age.
Certainly it is tragic for a young
man or woman about to begin a
business career or about to be mar
ried to be striker with tuberculosis.
The wears between ID and IS are the
years of promise and the years which
see the beginning of the fulfillment
of the promises of youth.
While more people 40 years of age
and over die from tuberculosis than
young people, just as many deaths

him. 1t is not surprising that this
should be SO, for Gerald johnson
freely acknowledges that the man
who built the New York Times
had qualities of heart and mind too
subtle to be captured and set down
In words.
Adolph Ochs was born on March
IL, 1858. His business career be-
gan at the age of II, handling a
4-m1le delivery route for a Knox
Vile, Tenn, paper for Is cents a
day. He mastered the printers
trade, and with two associates had
started the Chattanooga Dispatch
at the age of 49, It was bold
venture, and young Adolph wrote
his mother that my prayer Is
that I may soon be able to make
for you a comfortable home where
want is unknown and send nv
brothers and sisters on their diff
ferent roads rejoicing" But this
bubble was soon to be pricked
Within few months the Dispatch
had collapsed.
The young man was stunned but
not discouraged. He thought he
knew why the Dispatch had failed
and he was convinced that had he
been in control the errors would
have been avoided. That was news

through which he takes Anthony is
one in which lives of good and in
nocent men and women are wrecked
Anthony is man. BY civilized STAN
dards he Is also brute. But, Mr..
Wood poses the question, what are
civilized standards except a denial
Of mans fundamental instincts?
Man, being himself, is brute. That
seems to be the message of the
novel.
An enormous cast Of characters
supports the hero and it is in de-
failing the thoughts and emotions
Of these lesser beings that the novel
lapses frequently into incoherence.
The climax of the tale comes when,
in old age, Anthony meets a young
woman of nature as dominating as
his own. He sees in her his equal
for the first time, and for her sake
works a revolution" in California
He takes over religious movement
which has been founded for the
comfort of the humble and op-
pressed and turns it into his own
inevitable instrument of tyranny
and oppression. Presumably, in Mr.
Woods eyes, this was what happened
to the religion Of Christ. The book
ends with the young woman ruling
the entire country while the waters
of a cosmic flood, phophesied by a
martyred poet, rise on the city of
Los Angeles, and characters turn
into werewolves or fade into the
earth or recover sight In blinded
eyes by miracles and general con-
fusion prevails.
One cannot but wonder, contem-
plating this smash-bang conclusion,
If Mr.. Wood had completed his novel
to his satisfaction. 1t seems in his
final chapters to be in the state of
mere authors notes. However, it is
better that it should have been
published than that it should have
been lost entirely. 1t will stand as
a lonely example of fine imagi-
native talent cut off by the thing
which 1t dissects-the incurable de-
structiveness of the humankind.

better world and, in prosecution of
the party's instructions, fomented
labor troubles in various countries
and once, in our own country, ac-
cepted an assignment to murder.
Subsequently caught by the Nazis
and subjected to torture, he recanted
and agreed to work for Hitler. His
wife was held hostage for his good
behavior and, when he decided to
run away from Germany, he believed
he had sacrificed her life. The
Communists presently met with his
displeasure for their conscienceless
tactics and he left them-with their
vengeance hanging over him. In
such a position, any European of
intelligence knows what to do-Mr.
Krebs came to America. AS might
be expected, he became something
of a hero to our people after he
had, with disarming candor and
under a romantic sounding pen
name, written the story of his un-
happy life.
When war overlook us. Mr.. Krebs
was assigned as a combat reporter
to the Oath Infantry Division, an
outfit which fought through the
Philippine campaign. In the pres
ent book, he writes the divisions
story. He has done a good job Of it.
His method, to be sure, becomes
somewhat monotonouS, but one sees
its justification. In the jungle fight
ing which engaged the oath 1t was q
series of hand-to-hand combats
which decided the issue, he says,
and to give an adequate picture of
what happened these hand-to-hand
fights have to be described. So he
fills his long book with reports of
desperate engagements between
small American and Japanese
groups. Few Of the accounts are
longer than a couple of paragraphs
and they are all much alike. Conse-
quently the volume as whole has
an effect of repetition. But the
war was fought that way and that
it should be reported that way seems
perfectly reasonable.
An outstanding thing about the
book is that Mr.. Krebs names the
soldiers whose exploits he reports.

as supremely confident as ever that
his housing goal can be reached
He considers the job of increasing
the materials supply the main chal-
lenge in the months ahead. Though
not satisfied with results to date, he
points to this progress:
l. In the first six months of this
year, 225 900 dwelling units were
completed.
2. In the same period, 496, 900
dwelling units were started, or more
than two-ffths of the years goal.
8. Nearly a billion dollars worth
of nonresidential construction was
delayed since March 26 to aid home
builders.
Supporting his. optimism were
two Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ports this month. One showed that
the completion rate for dwellings
was on the upgrade, competitions
rising from 10000 in January to 35,-
900 in June. The other reported
construction employment rose to
2,225 900 workers in July, gain of
143 900 workers over the previous
month.
For three months ending with
January Is, home builders were free
to build without price controls or
priority aids. 1t soon was found
that industrial and commercial con-
struction was gobbling up far-too-
large share of available supplies.
Thus 1t became evident that con-
trolls were necessary in period OF
scarcity If the volume Of home con-
struction was not to be reduced to a
thin trickle.
If Mr.. Wyatt had merely strength
ened these controls to prevent con-
struction of expensive homes and
held down nonhousing construction
to the present level, it appears his
service to the home building indus
try would be clear. His efforts have
extended far beyond that, however,
and the next year will measure the
success of those steps.
