More than 500 delegates
TO the Wood. Wire and Metal
Lathers' Union. arriving here
Monday for the opening of a
four-day convention, will get
a first-hand look at their
new national headquarters
one of the most unusual
buildings in the area.
Located at $3.50 New Hamp-
shire avenue, Takoma Park.
just over the District line,
the cleaning white structure
trimmed with dark glass was
especially designed by Wash
ington Architect David
Baker. Wherever possible
the art of the lather'S craft
was incorporated into the
building, completed in late
1859.
Most Of the plaster walls
were sprayed on by machine
over metal lath and woven
wire. To keep the rooms
both quiet and fire resistant
machine-sprayed acoustical
plaster was used.
Plaster and lath was also
used to fabricate a truly
beautiful balustrade for the
interior front stairway. The
plaster was capped with
stainless steel and topped by
a mahogany rail.
An outstanding feature of
the new headquarters is the
treatment CT the exterior
walls. A Special-type Port
land cement plaster was
sprayed over prefabricated
metal studs and lath inside
and outside to form a wall
5 inches thick.
This produced a cleaning
white surface that is broken
by dark horizontal strips of
glass between the windows
which helps complement the
dark marble trim at ground
level.
However, Architect Baker
asserts the exterior walls are
more than Just attractive.
He claims the method is
many times stronger than
conventional veneer treat
ment and makes the building
almost lmpervious to changes
in temperature.
The concrete, he commended
acts as an insulator and
despite humidity outside
there is never any sign of
condensation either on the
exterior walls or the interior
partitions of the fathers
headquarters.
Construction of the unique
building was by the Wash
ington firm OF Davis, Wick,
RoSengarten Co., Inc. Plaster
and lathing was undertaken
by McNulty Bros. of Chicago.
Mr.. Baker said a delegation
from Australia has inspected
the building and studied his
drawings with the idea of

The old house, which
formerly stood at 4O3 Second

So many women today take
up painting as a hobby. This
Is most rewarding because it
satisfies the creative urge,
and love of color is practical
ly universal. It amazes me
how many of my friends can
paint really well.
If this hobby appeals to
you, it is well worth trying.
You may be surprised by how
well you can do and by how
rapidly you will improve. Ac-
tually, this spring there is
another kind of painting
which you might indulge in,
too.
Such an Art
Never before has makeup
been such an art or has there
been such a great variety of
such lovely shades to choose
from and experiment with.
Women who never wore eye
makeup before wear it now.
Those who used mascara but
not a liner or eye-Shadow,
now use all three.
One company has pack
aged two slim cylinders, each
containing four different
shades of eye shadow. In
this way, at a very nominal
cost, you can experiment to
see which colors are most
flattering and which colors
go best with your spring
clothes. This is really fun!

ton once in a while to some
of these newer and most
helpful items on the market.

BoxeIder Bugs May
Move In For Winter

Fall is moving time for box
elder bugs. In fact, several may
already have decided to make your
home their winter residence.
It's annual invasion time for
box-elder bugs, according to Ed
Ralph, associate county agent.
The bugs, black with reddish
bands, are about 6 inch long when
full grown. Their summer home is
the female boxelder tree, and they
dine heavily on seeds from the tree.
however, they make tracks for a
coy home or pleasant CARA g e.
They move into foundation cracks
and into and under the clapbOards
and caves, and from there they
can work their way directly into
your happy home. During a warm
winter day you may see them SUM-
ming on foundations with a south
ern exposure. Or they may stake
out a claim to your sun porch.
If you are looking forward to
their visit, don't stock up on sweets
and old clothing for them to
MUNICH. Boxelder bugs do not eat
either food or cloth.
Removing female bOxelder trees
reduces the number of boxelder
bugs, Ralph said. Since this rather
drastic control is too late for this

RATHER MAY NOT RATTLE

TALLAHASSEE Fla. (AP)-Con-
trary to popular belief, the East
ern Diamondback rattlesnake, lar
gest and most poisonous viper ma
tive to North America, doesn't al
ways sound a warning before he
strikes.
Another belief-that he has to be
coiled to strike-also is not true
The RATHER usually buZzes the
horny rattles at the end of his tail
before striking, but he sometimes
neglects to do so. And he can laun-
ch his incredibly fast lunge from

falls invasion, Ralph suggests ap-
plying "a percent lindane spray
or a 6 percent dieIdrin spray to the
point of run-off for a quick kill.
Apply either spray at one to
two-week intervals to the founda-
lions and sides of the building as
well as in strip three feet wide
around it. Spraying boxelder tree
trunks and the ground around the
trees is also. recommended. Do not
spray children's play areas, the
Agent cautions.
Inside, Ralph says to use your
trusty vacuum cleaner to hunt
down the bugs. But he warns that
spraying in the house should be
done carefully and only in severe
cases. Use a pyrethrin household
spray for quick knockdown and
kill. It's important to follow the
directions for using any insecticide
to the letter, Ralph said.
