konrigid Pipe
Resists Rust,

By HiIson Munsey

Rainy days with the youngsters
playing inside will no longer be a
source of ceaseless vigilance for
mother lest the tots mark up the
walls. A manufacturer has made a
new type of stainproof wall cover
ing which it is claimed, will with
stand $4,000 washings and resist
practically all types of stains COM
mon to interior walls.
A selection of 80 patterns provides
for a variety of unusual and pleasing
wall treatments, all OF which will
resist ever-present finger marks,
pen and ink marks: will defy dirt
abrasion, water, lipstick, perfume
piping hot kitchen grease, steam
vermin and bacteria.
Rootproof Pipe.
There is rustproof pipe on the
market which meets all the specif1-
cations of the National Bureau Of
Standards and which is also claimed
to be rootproof. 1t is nonrigid type
in which the flexible joints stay
watertight under DETECTION caused

failure in the roof covering. This
is caused by the fact that the water
may run along beam or above a
ceiling, until it finds weak spot
through which it can drip.
When water starts to show
through a ceiling, the first thing to
do is to bore a small hole in the
center of the wet spot. This will
prevent building-up, which may soak
a large portion of the ceiling. 1t
also makes sure that the water will
have a point of escape into the pals
or pans provided to receive it.
The actual cause Of the leak may
be from a split shingle, torn COM
position covering, or from defective
valley or gutter. A split shingle
may be repaired for an indefinite
length of time by cutting piece o,
tin and showing it up beneath the
shingle. A piece of heavy tar-papel
viii also make a good temporary
repair If metal is not at hand.
Leaks in valley f1ashings are COM

Cape Codders Offer
Good Ideas for
Home Decoration
By Betty Trexler

We all know and like the Cape
Cod cottage. 1t is charming and
comfortable. But we know less
about Cape Cod interiors. Yet these
are just as charming, with their
spatter floors, hooked rugs, white
ruff1ed curtains and general air OF
informality.
One of the incest things about
the simple Cape Cod interior is that
it's comparatively inexpensive. A
main reason why, is that few things
in a room must match" .jttfi
For instance, you don't find many
living room suites" in houses on
Cape Cod. Instead, you're apt to
find a cherry drop leaf table, a pine

Harvester Offers
15-Cent Pay Boost
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April Is. - Interna-
tional Harvester Co. today offered a
15-cents-an-hour wage increase to
81 900 employees in 81 factories, rep
resented by IL unions, and said the
offer would not affect the company's
present level Of prices.
The huge farm equipment con-
Germ last month announced price
reductions on its products which it
said would mean a $4,000. 900 saw
|ings annually to users.
The wage offer, following the pat
tern OF wage settlements granted
to nearly 100000 workers in the
steel, automobile and electrical in
dustry, calls for a general wage
increase Of 11h cents hourly plus
six paid holidays.
The company said It's offer was
not extended to its steel division
which employs 4o00 workers at the
South Chicago plant of the Wiscon-
sin Steel Works. A company spokes-
man said this division is represented
by the Progressive Steel Workers
Union, independent, and wage nego-
tiations are in progress there.
Wage increases will become effec-
tive on the date the offer is accepted
by the various unions, the company
said and added that salary increases

.Duranf Jewel Trial
Ends After 5 Months
BY ihs As.eeiatsd Pres.

{ FRANKFURT, Germany, April 28
After nearly five months of stormy
hearings in Germany and the United
States, q military court today con-
cluded the trial Of Col. Jack w
Durant on charges OF stealing ST.
100000 worth Of jewels and Kron-
berg Castle and announced 1t would
begin deliberations on q verdict to-
morrow.
In the closing argument, Durant
was described by the, prosecution as
'the mastermind behind this whole
foul piece of thievery"-in connec-
ton with which two other Army
officers have already been convicted.
The defense, describing the
prosecutions case as "a desperate
effort OF amateur detectives to wrap
up a case by artiflce and trickery," /"
contended that the prosecution had
failed to prove even that there had
been any theft, or If there were, that
1t was legally responsible.
The prosecutor, Maj. Joseph s.
Robinson, said that "the honor of
the United States Army is at stake
and asked the court to convict
Durant.

Stock Market Turns

In Late Dealings
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeioted Press FinoneioI Writer

NEW YORK. April 28.-The stock
market today crawled through one
Of the slowest sessions Of the past
year with scattered leaders adding
small fractions while many issues
edged into losing territory.
Animation was lacking from the
start. The ticker tape frequently
halted for a minute or so. Minor
advances predominated going into
the fourth hour, but timid offerings
subsequently trimmed or erased plus
marks. The direction was irregu-
larly lower at the close. Transfers
dwindled to around 100000 shares.
American Telephone was up Y at
1855 on revived hopes of a break In
the strike. Ahead moderately were
