Aid to Houses
By Rooer G. Whitmon

Question: Is it satisfactory to
install ventilators in the attic
without insulation?
Answer: There is no reason why
you should not install them. II
you decide to have ventilating
louvres, they should be provided
with insect screens. also snugly
fitting doors to open and close oy
means of a long cord attached to
the catch.
The louvres should be placed
high up and at opposite ends OF
the attic. With attic louvres, the
attic will be drier, and in sum-
mer they will help to move out
some of the superheated air IN
the upper part of the attic.
| Motar Smears on Brickwork.
Question:: I bricked the front OF
my house. Could you tell me how
to take off the excess mortar from
the front of the bricks?
Answer: It would have been well
to wipe off the smears while they
were still fresh, rather than wait
until they hardened. You can
clean them of with solution OF
one part muriatic acid in 10 parts
of water. Mix the acid in a WOOD
en- or enamel pail, in good con-
dition, pouring the acid slowly into
the water to prevent spattering
and stirring constantly with q

House Marked by Wax Crayon.
Question:: I had the front OF
my house painted a year ago
My little granddaughter wrote on
the wall with wax crayon, a dark
color. What can I get to remove
these marks?
Answer: You can remove the
marks, but the cleaning agent
might also take of the paint
if it is of a poor quality. How
ever, you should be able to re-
touch the paintwork with more
of the same color paint.
Cover the crayon marks with
a thick layer (about one-quartel
inch) of a soft paste made Of
fuller's earth or powdered chalk
or whiting, moistened with carbon
tetrachloride. or any other non
inflammable spot removing H.
quid.
Benzine would also serve, but
because Of the fire risk. care
should be taken. Let the paste
remain until dry, then remove
with soft brush. It may be
necessary to repeat. Scrape of
the thickest part Of the crayon
with dull knife. before using
the paste.

g. Loan Rules Eased
To LET Veterans Move
Into Unfinished Homes

Vetrenas purchasing new homes
with CT loans will not have to
await completion of the work
before moving into them, under
the terms Of new regulations an
nounced by the Veterans Admin
istration today.
When such work as sidewalks.
curbs. cutters. driveways and final
coats Of interior paint cannot be
completed because Of .inclement
weather, the veterans may move in
anyway. It has been the practice
heretofore to require a certificate
that the home was completed be-
fore issuing q loan guarantee. But
weather conditions in many parts
of the country have resulted in
delays for vetrans in moving into
new homes which were fully suit
able for living purposes but were
not quite completed.
Under the new plan. an amount
equal to one and one-half times
the estimated cost of the unfln-
ished work will be placed in escrow
to guarantee completion, and the
regular guaranty on the loan will
be issued. But these steps will be
taken only on the request, OF the
buyer.

New 'S|eepinq Units Serve Double Duty As Sofas
Bv GIodys Miller

Seeretory, N. Y. Chapter, Amerieon Institute
OF Decorators
Anyone who has difficulty sleep
ing in any bed but his own envies
those who have the ability to sleep
anywhere-in a hammock on a
hook. q sleeping bag on pine
boughs, or a shelf hung on a wall.
Allotting sufficient sleeping units
In a home has developed some
fascinating new equipment and a
variety OF groupings in a room.
In a casual living room, one or
two chaise longue-type units with
q left and a right arm and back
arrangement may be placed at
right angles to wall or fireplace
with a large table nearby.
The back of the chaise should
stop short to leave plenty Of room
for the sleeper's shoulders. During
the day when people use the chaise
as a sofa, bolster pillows are placed
to eliminate any. leg-dangling
when people sit on the sofa.
The chaise may be upholstered
in any fabric suitable to the room
in which it is to be used. The pad
can be shallow, and the edges can
be self-welted. providing finely
tailored appearance.
If your room is not wide enough
to use sofa beds at right angles,
you then may arrange them
against wall and flanking cor
ner table, should you use two. A
new one has been designed that
has an upholstered foam rubber
section for the back hinged to the
bed section.
It is lifted at night and stands
upright against the wall.
In this case the bed can be made
up all of the time, necessitating
only the removal of the day slip
cover which is a tailored type and
fits the corners tightly.
If these beds are to be used
every day, the storage of the bed
ding and the daily making and
unmaking of the bed at night and
morning can be chore and a
mental hazard. In shopping 1t Is
something for you to consider.
Each type has its advantages, as
the sofa bed made up for sleeping
rarely has the trim look OF the
sofa which has to be made up
when it is to be used as bed.

New Rent Law
Called More
Satisfactory

the Act which extends Rent Con-
trolls in the Alaska area for the
next Is months, Walter E. Welsh,
Rent Director Attorney of the
Alaska Defense Rental Area re-
Gently stated that the new legis-
lation is stronger, more enforceable
and generally more satisfactory to
both landlords and tenants than
the law which expired.
"Provisions for both the relief of
landlords and the protection of
t e n S are more completely
spelled out and will enable our
office to administer rent control
more closely in accordance with
the intena of Congress-" Welsh
stated.
Enforcement of the Act for the
tenants protection is strengthened
by retaining control over the re-
moval Of tenants. Tenants now
being overcharged need not fear
being evicted because of refusal
to pay such overcharges for report
ing the facts concerning it.
Control Evictions
The new Act provides that no
tenant can be removed or evicted
by court process or otherwise and
that nc action can be commenced
unless and until the landlord first

tabliSh the eviction. The grounds
for removal of the tenant are
specifically set out and in most
cases require a certificate from the
Rent Director before starting ac-
ton. Full details concerning the
new eviction requirements will be
furnished any tenant or landlord
or other interested person desiring
this information by their contact
ing our local office, Welsh stated.
Maximum Rentals
Special attention is also called to
the fact that Rent Control now ap-
plies to all rental housing units
which We're previously decontrolled
because they were not rented for
any successive 24-month period
between February /, 1945 and Mar.

which were never under rent con-
troll. Previously registered units
need not be registered but the
owners are advised to present
their registration statement to the
present tenant.
Landlords cannot charge more
than the maximum rent shown on
the registration statement plus or
minus adjustments approved by
the rent office. Landlords may OBJ

tration statements at the local rent
office, located in the Valentine
