Cortright Stresses Aims.
Frank w. Cortright. executive
vice president of the National AS
sociation of Home Builders, said
yesterday the home building in
dustry ''is unwilling to see public
housing move up to more than 10
times its monthly volume In the
past, when critical shortages in
steel. copper and aluminium are
seriously limiting private build
ing necessary to the war effort" /"
Throughout the Nation, gen.
orally persons earning under
81 800 annually cannot get into
public housing projects because
they don't make enough money" I"
the home building trade aSsocia-
ton executive said. "Yet the pub
lie thinks this is the person for
whom public housing has been
erected"
Long an enemy Of public hous.
ing, as is his association, Mr.. Cort-
right called on Congress to 'elimi-
nate all further construction Of
public housing during the emer-
|gency period"
Mr.. Cortright's position has been
that Congress should ease Regula-
Ition x credit curbs and strength
en- the market for privately built
housing through Government-sup-
ported mortgage credit.
Comments on Statement.
Asked for comment on Mr.. Cort-
rights statement, Marshall Amis,
acting PHA commissioner in the
absence of Commissioner John T,
Egan, said:
"The statement is not correct in
certain details and is misleading
in others. When it says that per-
sons earning under $1,000 do not
benefit from public housing, 1t is
mistaken and incorrect.
Likewise, the implication that
the rate Of public housing con-
struction is rising by more than
10 times its current volume is mis-
leading.
"The truth is, we are now oper-
ating under a temporary limita-
ton of 5000 new units for the
entire fiscal year 1885 with nc
possibility that this limitation will
exceed $4,000 units for the entire
year.
owing to the threat Of cur
tailment Of the program after
July l, public housing authorities
all over the country were anxious
to have their programs approved

to place a bucket or set a piece
Of lawn furniture to dry after
washing.
A splash mat is a great con-
venience and so easily made that
the outdoor worker usually starts
with a small one md ends up
with quite an area of pavement.
Practically all outside hose con-
nections come through the foun-
dation wall of the house or from
beneath the porch. There are two
ways of making the splash mat.
The first is tc cut out the re-
quired area, making the sides cut
through the turf sharp and neat,
and about three or four inches
deep. A mixture of one part of
portland cement. two parts of
sand and three parts of crushed
stone or gravel makes the best
concrete mix.
An absolute minimum of water
should be used in mixing 1t. The
batch is shoveled into the depres-
sion and troweled off smooth. No
form is required. as the neat
edges cut. into the ground fur
nish the form. The concrete
should be kept covered and damp
ened for four days before it is
walked on.
The second type of splash mat,
and somewhat easier to make
than the first one, is provided by
simply cutting out the turf the
required size and laying common
bricks in the depression. Second
hand bricks are excellent for this
purpose.
The depression should be two
inches deep. so that when brick
is laid fiat it will be even with
the lawn. The best job Of this
kind is done when the bottom of
the cut-out is raked smooth and
tamped down hard before the
brick is set in place.
No mortar is used between the
bricks as it Is unnecessary, and
no bed Of sad or stone is re-
quired beneath the brick surface.
Dust and earth soon wash be
tween the bricks and keep them
firmly wedged.

Why Grow
Old?
By josephine Lowmon

Today there is truly no such
thing as a homely woman unless
she herself has given in to the no.
ton that she is. OF course, some
women are much prettier than
others and some might be classed
as homely so far as features and
coloring are concerned.
However, that estimate entirely
overlooks the magic of a happy.
alive, gay face; of the allure of
lovely posture and carriage, of
beautiful figure, and the miracles
which can be wrought with hair
and clothes styling and makeup.
It is a wise woman who does
not underestimate her defects in
beauty but looks at them realis-
tically rather than pessimistically.
If she faces the fact that her hips
are too large or her eyes too close
together, her hairline poor, her
mouth. too large or small, her eye
brows sparse, her hair mousy, her
abdomen protruding or her pos
ture poor, then she can do some
thing about any factor which is
detracting from her attractiveness.
It is a fine idea for all of us to
periodically check up on ourselves.
In the first place we change con-
stantly and without realizing it.
Perhaps you have developed a
little line between the eyes which
wasn't there before you went
through a period of strain or
worry.
Now is the time to rid yourself
of it with fabrication and aware
ness of the frowning habit you
have developed. Maybe you are
getting more lines on your neck,
or a double chin, because Of poor
posture which has slipped up on
you. These things can happen
quickly.
Also there are so many new
shades in powder and lipstick and
all kinds of makeup aids that it
is well to think of these period
tcally. Perhaps the shade of lip
rouge you are wearing is not
nearly so flattering as one now
available or you may not have
tried the wonderful new hair tints.
Anyway get a pencil and paper
and look at yourself we'll in
lighted mirror. Then observe
yourself in a full-length mirror to
analyze your figure and your pos
ture and the whole effect, includ-
ing hairdo and shoes. Move about
and observe the way you walk and
the way you carry yourself. Make
q list of the things to correct, the
things to do to make you more
attractive.
