Fungus Killer
Prevents Losses
From MiIdew
By HiIson Munsey

The long continued summer hu-
nidity is the worst in 70 years, &C
cording to the Weather Bureau.
The announcement emphasized
the damage done by mildew, which
fourishes under such conditions.
Mildew plays no favorites. 1t
attacks leather upholstered furni-
ture, rugs, clothes, shoes, bedding
and practically everything else. The
annual loss from this destructive
agent is very great, but it can be
prevented.
There is very effective fungus
killer which, when used according
to instructions, will give full pro-
lection. 1t will even prevent mildew
in bread if the, bread box is wiped
with the solution. The manufac-
turers do not mention this, but I
know from personal experience. h
It can also be used to protect
damp laundry when rolled up. This
is not a new preparation but has
been in use for a number of years.
Drying material in the sunshine
will not kill mildew although it
may make it>dormant for time.
1t is necessary to kill the fungi

Question: My oil tank is under
the front porch on dirt ground.
Heavy rains have softened the dirt
into mud. The tank is almost sunk
into the mud, and is almost full OF
oil-about 200 gallons. Is there any
danger of the tanks leaking? What
on earth can I do now without mov-
ing the tank?
Answer: Yes, there is danger OF
the oil leaking out, for if the tank
sinks low enough the pipe leading
to the burner may break. Have your
oil burner serviceman empty the
tank and disconnect the piping
Then have mason put down a
firm bed of concrete. This should
be set in solid ground.

commuted from Washington.
Growing Community.
Today the test center is the
nucleus of a permanent, growing
community of about $500 persons
that has been termed private
enterprise Greenbelt." 1t is called
that because the area is being de-
veloped as a planned community"
somewhat along the lines of the
Governments widely known project
at Greenbelt, Md.
There are sharp differences, of
course. Housing and the shopping
facilities weren't built at the same
time, for example. And public
housing preceded private housing in
the area. But, in general, the site
is being developed on the basis of
an overall plan as the only zoned
community in st. Mary's County.
Just this week, the Housing and
Home Finance Agency transferred
464 permanent war housing units
to Navy jurisdiction, it was learned
today. This hasn't pleased St.
Marys County Commissioners, who
for months have been fighting the
proposed transfer on the score that
it would cost the county a consider
able amount in taxes. ...
Navy Needed the Units.
But the Navy needed the Gov
ernment-owned units, it said, to
house civilian workers, and the
change in jurisdiction of two prof.
ects-one of 120 units for colored
workers, and the other of 344 for
white workers-was made effective
Wednesday by Housing Admins
traitor Raymond NJ Foley. The two
projects were completed in August,
1914, at total cost of S2,769, 900.

We have a hot-air furnace. Can
you advise?
Answer: The grille should be re-
moved and the duct cleaned of
dust, preferably with vacuum
,@eaner. Try placing folded piece
Iof dark mosquito netting over the
opening; then replace the grille,
which should fit tightly enough to
hold the fabric in place. The fabric
should be fireproofed, if possible.
The fabric can be taken out when
dusty, and fresh piece put in
There should be no open space be-

The Building Committee of the

on Monday evening at the Chur-

to meet with the Secretary of the
Board of Church Extension from
Indianapolis, Indiana, and to con-
suit wish him about negotiations
for a loan to facilitate the COM

This new Church building is to
have a seating capacity of five
hundred and a Bible School plant
to accommodate. five hundred. Ar
chitectS sketches will soon be on
hand and picture of this mag
nificent building will appear.
With the lowering costs of mat
erials. it is hoped that this build
ing will become a reality in the
not too far distant future. The
building fund has received a fine
boost in the form of a gift of a
Church building at Lind, Wash
inaton. which will be dismantled
and brought to the present build
ing site. It is estimated that
there is sufficient lumber to care
for most Of the roughing-in Of
the new building. The pews
