MAJORITY STUDY MEDICINE

Londan - Approximately 3-100
students from British colonial
possessions are now studying at
universities in the United King
dom and Fire, either on schol-
arship or as private students.
Two-thirds of tbs number are
drawn from West Africa and the
West Indies, the former represen-
ted bq $40 students and the latter,
$50.
They can be found in all of the
principal universities in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Londan university
boasts the largest number of
these colonial students, followed
closely by Oxford, Cambridge,
Manchester, Durham, Leeds, Wal
es, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin,
Belfast and other universities.
Colonial students are also en-
rolled in hospitals of medicine in
London and the provinces, since
the majority of them are pur-
suing a medical career. Next to
medicine in point of numbers are
those studying law, the arts and
sciences. other courses in which
colonials are pursuing include
nursing, engineering, economics,
architecture, destistry, art, music,
government, agriculture and teach
ing.
Women students are also in
cluded in the number studying
in the U. K. and Fire. The ma
jority are under training for the
nursing profession, with some
studying social science, domes-
tic science, teaching, child well
fare, art, wressmaking, and sec
retarial work.

Aid to Houses
Expert Answers
Queries From
Householders
By Roaer G. Whitman

Question: -Four years ago I put
an oil base waterproofing on one
side of my buff brick house. This
has discolored the brick, making IL
look very ugly. I sought advice
from some Of the leading house
cleaning concerns on removal OF
this discoloration. I've tried muri-
attic acid, trisodium, and several
other strong solutions but to nc
avail. Do you think in time the
sun will bleach it out? What dc
you advise?
Answer: Why not write to the
maker of the waterproofing ma
terial? 1t is quite possible that this
will eventually weather of, and the
brick will tighten in color. You
might locate a building cleaning
firm who uses a steam cleaning
process. This method should take
out the discoloration.
Knife Handles Damaged by Water
Question: I have a cutlery set
with natural finish American wal
nut handles. They looked nice
when I bought them, but after ]
put them in water the wood be-
came rough and dull. Could you tell
me what to do to preserve the
finish?
Answer: As you seem to have
bought the knives only short time
ago, I suggest that you take them
back to the dealer and ask his ad-
vice. Perhaps he would have them
done over for you. If not, try
smoothing down the roughness with
very fine sandpaper or steel wool
until the woods feel like satin. Then
give the handles a coat Of Hnseed
oil, letting it dry naturally. Sup
port the knives so that the air will
get at all surfaces, as we'll as you
can. After day or two, give
another coat. When this has dried
rub the wood well.
The more you rub, the better the
lustre will be. An alternative to this
method is to apply two coats OF
quick drying varnish. Do not let
the handles soak in dishwater fol-
a long time. Wipe them as soon as
possible. Knife handles that are
made of wood, ivory, bone, or other
composition material are not sup.
posed to be left in water long.
Strenuous Paint Scraping.
Question: My problem is, three
rooms with five or six coats Of oil
paint. The paint has peeled off
leaving many spots down to the
plaster. have tried paint remover
and scraping, and find both toe
strenuous. Could you suggest some
thing
Answer: The process not only is
strenuous, but tedious. The answer
is to find someone with a strong

Construction cost averages of the

builders, were $10,400 for the first
eight months of this year in COM
parison to $500 in the correspond
ing period of last year.
The average unit cost for multi

the similar period this year.
As considered in this BIS sur
vey, the Washington area covers
the District; Alexandria City and
Arlington and Fairfax counties In
Virginia, and Prince Georges and
Montgomery counties in Maryland.
When discussing average con-
struction costs, BIS points out
those costs exclude sales profit,
selling costs, the cost of land and
site improvements, and all such
non-construction expenses as archi-
tectural and engineering fees.
They cover only cost of labor,
materials and subcontracted work,
and that part of the builders over

Senator Taft made this forecast
In announcing that differences be-
tween him and Senator Mccarthy
Republican, of Wisconsin over the
bill appear to be headed toward set
tlement.
II think we will be able to work
out a compromise" Senator Taft
said
The Ohio Senator is a co-sponsor
of the housing measure. Its hackers
hope it will encourage construction
of 100000 new homes by 1858.
The bill would extend through
next March the Governments au-
thority to insure home loans. 1t
would permit insurance Of an ad-
ditional $4,000, 100000 worth of such
loans, including $400,000,000 au-
thorized in a stopgap law.
The measure also provides fol
more liberal home loan terms on
low-cost housing, for guaranteeing
investors in rental housing proflt
and for sum clearance.
Senators Taft and Mccarthy have
been at odds over amendments tc
the bill. Senator Mccarthy got Il
changes approved last week. Sena-
tor Taft has a motion pending
which would strike out all of them
and substitute number OF Senate

is backing.

to accept two of four amendments

but would insist that there be nom
