The financing of home, for ex-

you should know something about

modern equipment that has been

Plan Decorations, Too.
It's not too early to think about
decoration of your house, either.
You may think you want blue walls
now. But after a thorough study
of color schemes you may discover
that it's green for you.
If you know In advance what your

7296 Gain Is Reported
lin New House Work

New houses started throughout the
country in November showed a "a
per cent gain over the number of
starts in the same month year ago,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported this week.
A total Of $4,000 new houses were
started in November, which makes
that month the fifth successive
month in which more than 10000
new dwellings were put under con-
struction.
Builders completed more than
So 900 permanent housing units
during the month, a gain Of 3,40o
over october, and about $4,000 more
than in November, l946.
During the first II months Of 1s47,
more than 745,000 homes were COM

plaster is cracking worse and worse
all the time. The siding on the east
and south side Of the house is badly
cracked, and is loose on the greater
part Of the house. I think the solu-
ton would be to reside the house
and renal the sheathing also.
Answer: I believe the house Is
not sufficiently braced to Withstand
a heavy wind. The construction
must be weak. The best thing to
do is to have a reliable building
contractor examine the house and
do whatever he considers necessary
to strengthen 1t all over. / doubt
If residing and renailing would be
enough to stiffen the house.
Rusty Metal Icebox.
Question: Our metal icebox Is
rusty. What kind of paint do you
think we should use on It? The
box is metal and white.
Answer: If the box is now painted
with white paint or enamel, soften
the old finish by washing with a
hot solution of trisodium phosphate
or washing soda. Used in the pro-
portion of three pounds to the gal
lon of hot water, or cupful to the
quart.
Scrape and wipe off the paint,
and then rinse very thoroughly to
make sure of removing every trace
of the solution. Otherwise your
new paint will fail. Wipe dry, and
sandpaper lightly to give the metal
a slightly rough surface to which
the new paint can make a tight
bond
After busting off, apply two coats
Of enamel undercoat and finish
coat OF enamel. Do not paint the
inside Of the icebox. for the smell
of paint would be likely to get into
the food. If the inside Is rusty,
clean it with steel WOOL, and then
rub with a non smelling vegetable
oil or else q petroleum jelly.

tions by which the stories can be
followed. In many of the Japanese
adaptions of European stories, the
original style of Illustration is fol-
lowed closely, and no attempt is
made to change the race Of Snow
White or Little Red Riding Hood.
In the new books, however, the
illustrations are entirely Japanese,
not only so far as the characters
themselves are concerned, but also
in the whole spirit of the stylized
and delicate drawing. Even when
Evening star., 1947-11-10

Under the watchful eye of the
American Military Government,
Japanese children are being intro
duced to many of the fables and
folk-tales long known to western
culture as a part of the effort to
democratize their education.
The books they read and the les
sons they learn from them were
placed on display in the Library of
Congress yesterday in connection
with Children's Book Week.
Numbering more than $50, the
books are from the collection of
Frederick G. Melcher, president of
Publishers Weekly, who was in
Japan last spring as a consultant
on copyright to American Army
Headquarters in Tokyo.
Although some of the stories were
known to Japanese children before
World War II, they were strenu-
ously suppressed after the outbreak
Of hostilities. Characters such as
Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella
and Jack Of beanstalk renown today
are making new conquests among
the younger children in Japan, while
older ones are avidly buying up what
appears to be an Oriental adoption
of the American comic magazine.
Differences in Version.
Americans, who have the bene-
fit of a literal translation of the
classic fairy stories will note Ger
tain differences in the Japanese
versions. Cinderella, for example,
has fireworks at her wedding cere-
mony with the prince, and the
celebration lasts seven days.
Furthermore, Cinderella makes a
great point of forgiving her most
unworthy older sisters, inviting
them to live with her in the palace,
and providing each with an I'M
attached noble as a consort.
Romantic interest in children's
books is very new in Japan, ac-
cording to Mrs. K. l.. Takeshita, a
librarian of the Orientalia Divi-
sion Of the Library Of Congress,
who prepared the books for ex-
hibition. She expressed surprise
that the story was translated true
to the spirit of Western roman
ticism-glass slipper and all-and
that the wedding ceremony came
off as scheduled.
Another small but significant
change is made in the story of
Jack and the Beanstalk, where the
giant in the standard version snarls
out the time -honored chant:
Fee fl TO fun! I smell the
blood OF an Englishman." The
Japanese giant simply murmurs to
his wife, Ume:
IT smell something that smells
like a man."
Among the books for older chill
dren, the moral ending plays lead
ing role. Few are without some in
dication that the authors had educa-
ton uppermost in their mind, with
entertainment a secondary objective.
Many books deal with famous Amer
leans and Europeans, including such
figures as Thomas Edison, Helen
Keller and Poincare.
The American soldier is fire.
quent and sympathetic character in
many of the comic books, and jeeps,
American-made automobiles, air.
planes and locomotives supply a con-
siderable proportion of the interest.
Selling Like Hotcakes.'
The books are printed on low
grade paper and sell in Japan for
S or 10 yen-equivalent to be-
tween 10 and 20 cents. According
to Mr.. Melcher, they are going like
hotcakes.

One of my nephews, Assistant Sec
rotary of the United States Treasury

marks the other day which are worth
the attention and action of all my
other nieces and nephews. In talk

said: "Workers are doing them.
selves a favor when they increase
their take-home savings. The man
who has saved up a reserve has
sense of security which the man who
lives from hand to mouth can never
know. He gets more out of life. He
can take today as it comes, rather
than spend it worrying about to-
morrow" The same reasoning ap-
plies not only to Americans on some
body's payroll but to the millions OF
men and women who earn their liv-
ing as doctors, lawyers and indie
pendent business men who can ar
range for regular purchases of Saw
ings Bonds at their banks.
