BY HiIson Munsey

Wood that Is exposed to the ele-

and insects, particularly termites.
II fungus is allowed to get In its
dangerous work, there is always q
large repair bill to pay.
To prevent this, it is necessary
to treat the wood with some sort Of
preparation that will offer the nee
essary protection. One that will
do just that impregnates the wood
with copper and other toxics that
stop all attacks Of rot, mildew, ter
mites, wood lice that live on moist
wood and all other wood destroying
fungoids and parasites.
This material is insoluble in water
and will not leak out after it has
been applied. It will not corrode
iron, steel or other metals and it
has no injurious effect on plant
life. After it has dried, 1t is odor-
less and can be painted without any
danger that the preparation will
bleed through the paint.
It is green In color, although a
colorless variety is made for use on
mahogany, maple and other woods
that need to retain their original,
natural color, This colorless type,
however, is not as efficient as the
standard variety and is not recon-
mended =. for ordinary use.x The
preparatnn.s can. be Msprayed sol

ping method has proved to be the
most effective. ' s~s~ ~

Tenant Says IgIoo Is House
You Must Learn TO Like
By Robert J. Lewis
Real Estate Editor Of The Svar.

The Governments "igloo" houses
are back in the spotlight again,
like a ham actor who never knows
when he Is through.
Completed five years ago on a
site in nearby Virginia, they started
their careers in a blaze of glory. To
ward of sight-seers, tenants had to
put up signs reading, Keep Out,
This Means You'll" and "Scram, Yes
VI"
That was at first. Gradually in
terest waned. Now the houses are
soon to be put up for sale-and the
rubbernecking is apt to start all
over again. The development is the
last remaining property owned by
the Defense Homes Corp. in the
District area for which a purchaser
has not yet been found.
The IL houses were built with a
spray gun, frankly as an experiment
to see whether this method would
produce good low-cost house at
breakneck speed. At that time,
homes were needed in hurry to
house defense workers.
Sprayed Over Balloon.
To build them a balloon was in
fated, wire mesh placed around 1t
and then concrete sprayed on in
layers. Then the balloon was de-
flated-and you had house. At
that time some people thought the
method might revolutionize the
small home industry. Jesse Jones,
then Federal Loan Administrator,
explained they were the kind OF
dwellings his hometown banks
would consider safe investment.
Spraying house together seemed
to be good idea at the time. But
today DHC is not SO sure. For this
climate, they are not completely
satisfactory. But if any one wanted
to iron out some of the "bugs," say
observers, the method still might
offer a satisfactory low-cost home.
Tenants seem to have consid-
cradle affection for them in spite Of
their drawbacks.
Take Mrs. Frank G. Soule, jr., for
example. She says her small son,
Johnny, eats the plaster that
flakes off the walls occasionally.
Not much drops off at a time. But
anyway, more than Johnny should
eat, she SAYS,

On the other hand, Mrs. Soule has
many kind words to say about her
igloo home. If it weren't for the
cold floor, occasionally damp walls,
mildew and a few other minor
faults, 1t would be fine.
Wonderful In Summer.
"It's roomy-and wonderful in the
summer, she says. We're in the
country, and it's fine for the chill
dren. When it's hot in Washington
it's real cool out here" Comdr. Soule
is Navy physician stationed at the
Bureau Of Medicine and Surgery.
One of the things that intrigues
Mrs. Soule is the zany way sounds
play around inside the round-ceil-
inged living room. Sit on the sofa
at one spot and the radio booms
like an 80-piece orchestra. Move
five or six inches away and you can
scarcely hear it.
'It all depends on how the sound
hits the ceiling, guess, said Mrs.
Soule.
A spokesman for DHC explained
plans were being made now to sell
the dwellings, but that details had
not yet been worked out. The units
may be sold separately, or the
whole development may be sold to
one purchaser.
Come in Two Models.
The igloos come in two models,
one a single e-hemisphere job and
the other a twin hemisphere joined
together with aflat-roofede section
containing a hall, furnace space
and bathroom. z 0rs'f'@
The two ngle-hemisphere units

The 10 two-hemisphere units have
two bedrooms, a large living room

bathroom and closets. They rent
