Mildew Control
Pointers Given

Families who have pumped
flood water out of their homes
and shoveled and washed out the
silt should take immediate pre-
cautions to prevent mildew, WSC's
Agricultural extension specialists
said today.
Warning that wood, wall paper
clothing and furnishings may be
attacked by the mold growth COM
monty called mildew, the extern
sion specialists suggested the fol-
lowing mildew-control measures:
/. Raise the windows to permi,
air circulation throughout the
house. II windows md sashes are
swollen, remove the inside mold
ings or stops, then go outside and
force the sash in.
2. Circulate warmed air b,
fans. An electric heater or gas
burner can provide heat If the
furnace is out of commission.
8. Dry damp clothes closets
with heat from an electric lamp
or leave the electric light on.
Calcium chloride placed in an
open jar in a closet or closed
room will absorb moisture, but
must be renewed when the solid
chloride becomes liquid. Con-
,venient holders for calcium chlor-
|Ade are on the market.
4.'Clean mud-stained articles as
rapidly as possible. Clean articles
mildew less readily than soiled
ones.
As soon as mildew spots are
discovered, they should be brushed
off with soft, slightly damp
cloth or soft tissue paper. A
clean cloth or tissue should be.
used for each spot.
More detailed instructions con-
corning mildew control are avail
able in an extension leaflet which
can be obtained free from all
county extension offices. Name of
the leaflet is simply "Mildew."
It's Washington Agricultural ex-
tension service publication.

Suit 10 Evict Veteran
Ends in Mistria|

A suit to evict war veteran from
the Cameron Valley housing project
in Alexandria ended in mistrial
yesterday when the jury became
deadlocked after an hours delibera-
ton.
The Alexandria Housing Authority
sought to evict John M. Webster
from the home he rents at Cameron
Valley. The Alexandria Civil and
Police Court decided in his favor
last winter. The Corporation Court
jury yesterday heard the Housing
Authority's appeal from the Police
Court decision.
Spokesmen for the Housing
Authority contend the development
is for the exclusive use of civilian
and military personnel attached to
Fort Belvoir. The action to evict
Mr.. Webster was taken at the re-
quest of Fort Belvoir authorities
after his discharge from the service.
Although other quarters were found
for Mr.. Webster and his family at
the Shirley Homes in Arlington, he
testified they were unsuitable.
Judge William P Woolls indicated
the case would be set for retrial in
September. Attorney Stanley King
represented the Housing Authority
and Leroy Benheim represented Mr.
Webster.

Copstone Provides New Mystery
As Monument Nedrs Centenary

similar one below 1t. taken by a
star photographer in 1885, when
the Monument was being cleaned as
public works project. The group
of workmen beside the American
flag are sitting on the top OF
the scaffolding which enveloped the
Monument at that time.
Difference in Top.
But a quick glance is enough to
show that, in one picture, the top
most Monument stone is single
huge block. In the other. the top
photo, the tip appears to be made
up of some two dozen smaller
stones. Besides, the top photo wasn't
taken in December, judging from
the clothing worn by the workmen.
Finally, the circular photo shows
that there was wooden super
structure erected over the entire tip
of the Monument to hoist the last
stone into place. No such structure
appears in the top photo.
The question then. is: If it isn't
the Washington Monument, what is
it? For years this picture has been
printed as one taken at the top of
the Monument.
Maybe some Washingtonian can
supply the answer and end the
mystery before the Tooth annivers-
ary of the cornerstone laying comes
around this week end.

is turning out to be a thing of

Nobody knows just where it is.
Now it appears there is confusion
over the capstone. as illustrated in
the accompanying pictures. the
capstone was set on December 6,
1884. The original capstone itself
was a 100 ounce aluminium tip
which topped the last great stone
block.
