Attic to Cellar
Women Replacing
Men in Family
Painting Chores
By Betty Trexler

More and more women are taking
to home sewing, they tell us, for
something creative to do and be-
cause of the high costs.
The same thing is true Of other
home skills-particularly the deco
rative painting of everything from
glassware to chests Of drawers.
Art shops report an ever-increas-
ing sale of paints. brushes, stencils,
instruction booklets and similar
equipment. And this column re-
ceives more inquiries concerning the
painting of useful, decorative OBJ
jects than on any other subject.
The craze to dip into the paint
pot seems to have been started by
the revival of Pennsylvania Dutch
folk art and by Peter Hunt, whose
peasant-type painted furniture and
tinware are well known.
Painting of this type provides
women with a practical, satisfying
hobby that does not necessarily re-
quire great deal of. artistic talent.
Those who can't draw free-hand,
for instance, can always trace their
designs or use stencils.
When it comes to preparing wood
or TIM articles for painting, some
good, hard work may be required.
Occasionally an old finish must be
removed with paint and varnish re-
mover. And often great deal of
sandpapering has to be done to make
the object smooth. But there is
nothing difficult about the job. All
that's required is little elbow grease.
Two coats of paint usually are re-
(See TREXLER, Page BED
Evening star., 1948-02-28
BY Roger c. Whitman

Question: I purchased an un-
painted chest of drawers and wanted
it to match my baby's crib, which is
maple. After sanding it, I used
maple stain on the chest but cannot
get it dark. In fact, some parts are
stained deeper than others. Can
you tell me If I have ruined the
chest, or whether there is anything
I can do to make it look like maple?
Answer: When you stained the
wood, perhaps you did not do the
job evenly; that is, you may have
used more stain on some places than
on others. Another coat may help,
but wipe of the excess before it
dries. It is difficult thing to make
a perfect match when staining fur
niture. =. For best results let cabi-
netmaker do the work. If you wish
to try it again, you can bleach out
the stain that you used with pre-
pared wood bleach, which will make
the wood almost white.
Maple is usually finished in yel-
low or darker tone. Two coats of
orange shellac give a good color.
Darker tones can be had with dark
oak oil stain, or else this stain may
be mixed with walnut.

iRsol Esiois Editor OF The Sfor

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-A conviction
that some how, some way and some
time soon, the building industry will
have to tackle the job Of producing
lots of houses for people who can
not afford those produced at pres
ent prices seemed to prevail widely
among the 5000 home builders in
convention here this week.
Washington home builders left
here hoping and believing, for ex-
ample, that they, could produce
houses in the $1,000 field in the
Washington area.
IT have never seen so much in
terest in building low-cost houses
for the lowest income brackets as
I saw among builders at this con-
vention," Donal l.. Chamberlin,
past president Of the Washington
group said, as the convention wound
up its sessions.
Intend to Push Ahead.
Clarence w. Gosnell, new presi-
dent Of the Washington organiza-
ton, reiterated builders intention
to push ahead with plans to build
hundreds of houses for around $6,-
000-which would be from $2,500 to

Mortgage Insurance
Applications Set New
Record in January

A record number of applications
for mortgage insurance on new con-
struction throughout the country
was received by the Federal Housing
Administration last month. Com
missioner Franklin D. Richards dis
closed today.
Applications filed by local FILA
insuring Offices represented 79,028
units, which exceeded last Novem-
ber's record by nearly $4,000 units.
Mr.. Richards hailed the new mark
as a sign of continued progress
toward relief of the housing short
age in America by private builders
and lending institutions"
Considerable Rental Volume.
The official noted that consider
able volume of January applications
was for rental construction. OF the
total, 75,457 units are to be built
and financed under Title vi of the
Veterans Emergency Housing Act.
Meanwhile, the Home Loan Bank
Board reported that nonfarm
mortgage financing during 1947
reached an estimated $11, 400, 900 900.
This was 10 per cent higher than
1916.
The dollar volume for last year,
the board said, was the peak figure
for any year since 1889, when esti-

First Aid For the House

I suggest that before you start
again, you get a color card from
your paint dealer, which will help
you to make better match with
the other piece. Try the finish that
you select on the back Of the chest
of drawers, until you get the effect
that you prefer.
Linoleum Soils Quickly.
Question: My new in1aid kitchen
linoleum gets very dirty in one day,
and the only thing that will clean
it is steel wool and one Of the new
style cleaning preparations. Would
you please suggest finish that will
not discolor the linoleum too much?
The linoleum seems to be like cork,
and it absorbs all the dirt. -
Answer: MY own preference for
that type of linoleufn is an applica-
ton Of q non-rubbing or else paste
wax, applied according to directions
on container.

Wilson, coop president, presented
a $512,500 check to the Government.
This was a 10 per cent down pay
ment on the development, built by
the Government in 1943 for $6,557,-
900 and declared surplus late in 1945:
The brief ceremony In the Office OF
the Public Housing Administration
marked the elimination of pro-
gram started more than two years
ago by group of Washington area
veterans, most of them members OF
the American Veterans of World
War II.
Early in their negotiations, the
young veterans called on older men,
veterans of World War I, for advice
and assistance, and the combination
has been paying dividends ever
since. The development is now run
by nine-man board whose ages
range from Is to over so years.
They serve without pay.
Today 428 of the 748 units are
owned by coop members. Titles
to the remainder are held by the
dSSOCldUlOll. VCA4pA4oc
have been given assurance they can
remain In apartments so long as
there is rent control These tenants
now pay rent to the association
which, in turn, makes monthly pay
ments on the purchase price to the
Government. Coop officials estl-
mate it will take about 80 years to
pay off Uncle Sam.
OF the 428 units sold to veterans,
about 200 are still to be occupied by
coop members. 1t is worthy OF note
that veterans were ready to pay the
$50 membership fee in the coop
and make a down payment OF 20
per cent on apartments even
though they we've not sure when
they could move in.

tive assistant to the board and a
