Eight years ago, Mrs Philips
of Los Angeles sent a radio to
be repaired. She thought it would
cost about dollar, but the bill
came to $3.50. In the discussion
of the bill, the radio man man
aged to sell her new radio on
time, with payments of $l.25
weekly. When she fell behind
in the payments, the store sued,
got the radio back and judgment
for $8l.50 in court costs and col
lection fees. When this was not
paid, her house and lot were
auctioned off. No one bid except
the radio man, who offered only
S26.50. Now the radio man has
the old radio, the new radio, her
house and lot and claims she
owes him SIS. He offers to let
her stay in the house for $40 a
week.

The housing shortage h s
driven many builders TO rack
their brains to find way to mass
produce houses and give bet
ter house at lower price. 1t is
an extremely difficult problem.
II houses could be put together,
on production lines like auto
mobiles, we would constantly be
getting better and cheaper houses
just as we do automobiles. Sup
pose when you wanted an auto.
mobile. men would come to your
garage and make an automobile
on a special contract with many
of the parts made by hand. A
few millionaires could afford a
real automobile. Most of us
would have very poor cars just
as we now have inferior houses.
One builder on Long Island,
Levitt & Sons, has something
like production line in a crude
form. All parts are manufactured
in a central factory. The row of
houses is the production line.
The men move instead of the
houses and each man has
special job. Once the foundation
has been dug and laid. in just "a
minutes they can put up an
$4,000 house complete with auto
matte washing machine, electric
stove. refrigerator, and trees and
shrubs planted outside. A vet
eran pays 500 down a month. The
builder makes about $1,000 net
profit. The demand for these
houses is so great that thousands
would buy them right now if
they could get them.
s This same builder has been in
terested in the housing situation

Gridiron Club members had
some stiff competition yesterday.
Those super scribes who smilingly
sizzled their subjects at their stag
dinner Saturday night gave their
traditional follow % up reception
yesterday afternoon and found
themselves vying vocally with Vice
President Barkley.
AS always, the big feature Of
this reception. that drew some 600
guests from Washington and all
parts of the country, was the re-
peat performance of the hilarious
skits given the evening before.
The rows and rows Of amused lis
|teners seated in the Presidential
Room of the Statler Hotel had no
idea. though. that the hour-long
show would end with a solo by the
Weep himself. The Gridiron chorus
was all set to break into the finale.
Wagon Wheels" with soloist
impersonating sthe Vice President,
when they suddenly decided, why
have an impersonator when the
real thing was sitting in the front
row with a most conveniently
placed mike about three feet in
front of him? Mr.. Barkley, who is
nothing If not a good sport. imme-
diately rose to the occasion and
broke into song.
AS soon as the show was over,
until they finally tore themselves
away at 1880, the Barkleys. honor
guests in the Trumans absence,
had to hold court to greet the
scores and scores Of people who
rushed up to say hello to the Vice
President and meet his bride. The
latter. prettier and younger look
ing than her pictures, spread
warmth and friendliness in her
every smile and gesture. She wore
Ia black velvet skirt below a black
satin striped blouse with delicately
embroidered white cuffs, and a
black poke bonnet hat trimmed
with white feathers.
Porty Begins at Five
The reception got under way at
S o'clock as guests entered the
Congressional Room in single file
to be received by outgoing Gridiron
President Richard L. Wilson and
incoming President Thomas l..
Stokes. Their wives stood with
them, Mrs. Wilson in a smart black
costume, Mrs. Stokes in a brown
dress with a hat of coque feathers.
Behind them was a bank of palms
and red poinsettias.
Well-known figures appeared in
rapid succession. There was Fed
eral Mediator Cyrus Ching, the
Secretary of the Interior and Mrs.
Oscar Chapman. Gen. and Mrs.
Hoyt Vandenberg. Gen. Mark
Clark with his wife and mother,
Mrs. Charles c. Clark-all three
had been at the big luncheon the

relieved when none came.
Drawing the next most attention
at the party perhaps, was Amer
ica's famous poet, Carl Sandburg
His white thatched head topped
the same dark business suit and
bow tie he had worn the night be-
fore at the dinner. making him
the one exception to the impecca-
BILE white tie tradition. None of
the Gridiron members questioned
yesterday could recall another ex-
ception to the regularly required
"soup and fish" attire. The great
literary figure probably never gave
it a second thought, but he did say
that he had enjoyed the dinner.
Look Publisher Present
There was publisher of Look
magazine Gardner Cowles and his
wife Fleur who wore a white mink
stole over her black dress and two
pink roses at her neckline-the in

Emily Post

An obviously upset hostess asks
me: What is your opinion of a
dinner guest wiping her table
silver on her napkin before being
served? I was never so insulted
in my life!"
I certainly understand your
feelings as I can't imagine such
rudeness in private house. Even
in a restaurant it would be rude
to wipe off the silver unless it
is obvious that a certain imple-
ment is not clean and there is
no waiter to bring you another.
Extro to Hotel Maid
Dear Mrs. Post: My wife and
I are living in a hotel apartment.
This is our first experience. The
rental of the apartment Qarge liv-
ing room, bedroom, serving pam
try and BATH is considerable but,
of course, we get the hotel serv-
ices, which include maid. Should
we give her anything extra? My
wife thinks so, whereas I feel
that the high hotel rates include
this. Of my wife is right, how
much would you say?)
Answer: Very definitely your
wife is right. From two to five
per cent of your rent would be
about right. The higher your
rent, the lower your percentage.
Porty for Sons Fioneee
Dear Mrs. Post: We'd like to
give a tea and cocktail party to
have our friends and relatives
meet my sons fiancee. Shouldn't
our Mr.. and Mrs. card for in
vitations be used instead of only
my cards, as my husband will be
present? What about my sons
name? He will be present too.
Answer: Your Mr.. and Mrs.
card would be proper and I think
your sons presence would be
granted.
Young Minister at Dinner
Dear Mrs. Post: Soon I am to
have as our guest at dinner q
young minister. I'm wondering
if he should be asked to say grace.
Answer: It Is always proper
in fact expected-that the clergy
man be asked to say grace.
