Home Gadgets—
New Aluminum
Storm Window
Now on Market
By D. M. Derwin
Condensation during the winter
months has resulted in almost com
plete destruction of all inside paint
finishes on metal casement win
dows, not to mention the general
nuisance value of flaking paint fall
ing on rugs and floors and the
constant mopping up of wfet win
dow sills.
Unless steps are taken to cor-;
rect the causes, the home owner is
faced with eventual sill rot and
yearly paint jobs.
A new aluminum storm window
for metal casements has just been
placed on the market. This alumi-:
num frame storm window covers
the entire metal residence casement;
on the Inside and provides perfect
dead air insulation. Effectively
reducing the dissipation of heat to
give a warmer home with up to
35 per cent less fuel, they also give
control of condensation.
Designed in a choice of two styles ;
of storm panels, ventilated and
fixed types, both allow full opera
tion of the casement ventilator.
Stocked in standard sizes, they j
have extruded aluminum construe-;
tion, with rubber weather seal
around the entire perimeter. They
are glazed with double-strength
glass. !
These storm windows are easily
Installed from the inside with sim
ple attachment clips. The panels:
are light and easily stored for the
summer in a minimum space. They
eliminate maintenance cost, as no
painting is required.
Water Putty.
This period of tfye year finds
cracks developing which will need
filling and plugging. A water putty
that does not shrink when it dries
has been placed on the market.
Adaptable for numerous house
hold uses, such as plugging floor
holes and cracks, reseating screws,
mending furniture, repairing tile,
stone, plaster, masonry and metal,
or restoring picture frames, this
water putty is a dry pow'der product
and is simply mixed with water to
a paste of the required consistency,
for the job to be done.
It Is pressed into the hole or
crack or other surface indenture
with a putty knife or glazing tool
and after drying is simply sanded
down level with the surrounding
surface. It may be painted or var
nished Immediately upon drying
When hardened, this water putty
may be tooled and finished just
like w-ood. Nails or screws also
can be driven into It without dan
ger of Its cracking.
In case a certain shade Is de
sired, it can be colored by the sim
ple addition of dry color to the
paste mixture. The use of lime
proof colors is recommended.

Compilation Shows Location and Number
Of Units in All FHA Rental Jobs Here
By Robert J. Lewis
Real Estate Editor of The Star
f On June 28. last year, The Star printed a list of
large-scale rental apartments for which FHA fi
nancing had been arranged.
On that list were 62 projects having a total of
5,824 apartments.
A second list, brought up to date, was printed
November 1, last year. By that time, 101 projects
having 10,450 apartments had been approved by
FHA.
Today, a new up-to-the-minute list, compiled
from FHA records, is being printed on this page.
Projects now total 251. They will provide 17,492
apartments with a total FHA mortgage value of
$138,808,500.
Some have been completed. Others are under
way. Still others remain to be started. The list,
showing name of person FHA lists as “sponsor,”
address, amount of mortgage, number of apartment
units in each project, and percentage of project
completed so far, follows:

Elaborate Program Is Planned
For National Home Week Here
■ District area home builders will observe National Home Week, be
ginning September 5, with an elaborate program. Clarence W. Gosnell,
president of the Washington Home Builders’ Association said today.
The Washington celebration will be held along with a Nation-wide
observance of the week and will'
serve as a prelude to the opening
of the annual home show at the
| District National Guard Armory,
beginning October 16.
On the program will be on-site
demonstrations of modern home
building methods used by the In
dustry, completed houses, tours of
laige-scale housing projects and
exhibition of homes and apartments
in all phases of planning and con
struction.
* The observance is being sponsored
elspwhere by associations affiliated
with the National Association of
: Home Builders. It is being arranged
by the builders to dramatize the
high volume of construction
achieved in this country to. meet
the demand for housing.
A spokeman for the District
builders’ group said detailed plans
now are being made for the ob
servance h efe.
Nationally, the home builders’
association points out that "no
country on earth has undertaken a;
program of postwar housing the
equal of that in this country."

ily used either modem or period
furniture, but were afraid <o mix
the two.
Today, however, modern and per
iod furnishings are being combined
successfully.
Some amount of caution should
be used of course. An extremely!
modern coffee table of bleached |
wood, for instance, is not exactly
suitable in front of a handsome,
carved antique sofa covered in red
satin.
But many things will go well to
gether. Take Mr. and Mrs. D’s
home. Mr. D. likes modern paint
ings. His wife loves Early Ameri- j
can things. They compromised!
when furnishing their new home,;
and the effect is excellent. Both
Early American and modem fur
nishings have a big thing in com
mon—simplicity of design.
Mr. and Mrs. D are happy. Mr.
D can gaze at his modem paintings,
while his wife admires her old pine
corner cupboard.
Mr. and Mrs. R. were fond of
both modern and period furniture
and couldn't decide which to use
in their home. They hit on the
idea of having the rooms furnished
with different periods.
Their living room is full of love-'
ly antique pieces. The dining room
is completely modern.
And there is no reason why tra-j
ditional furniture can’t be used in
a house of extremely modern archi
tecture.
We know an interior decorator
whose house of very modern de
sign is filled with period pieces.
He likes the “cluttered, homey”
look and feels you can't have that
if severe modem furnishings are
used.
It’s nice to have a home filled
with precious antiques where even!
the ashtrays are authentic old
glass or china pieces. And modem
tfomes are fine. Nevertheless, we're
glad that more and more people
are blending the two.
Just remember to use discretion.
A room can look mighty “choppy,”
indeed, if too many different woods
and styles are used. Be cautious,
, but don't be afraid.
67,000 Dwelling Units
Begun in U. S. in March
The Bureau of . Labor Statistics
today reported a “marked seasonal
1 upswing” in housing activity in
March, when builders started 67,000
i new permanent nonfarm dwelling
units.
This is an increase of 20,000. or 43
per cent, from those in February
and exceeds by 8,600 the number
started in March, 1947.
said he thought District builders
were “doing a
very fine job.”
Fabio Robledo
mehiber of an
engineering firm
in Bogota, Co
lombia, said he
was surprised at
the great volume
of home build
ing, “especially
when you con
sider the cost”.
Down in Co
lombia, he said,
a bricklayer
earns $1.50 a day
while here a Mr.
bricklayer earns as much as $3.50
an hour.
Both men were Interviewed in
the’office of Jacob Crane, assistant
to Housing Administrator Raymond
M. Foley.
Mr. Zamora said he was in this
country at the invitation of the
State Department. His purpose
in coming here, he said, was to
visit United
States housing
projects and ob
t a i n housing
information
which could be
helpful to Mex
ico.
In Mexico
the housing
shortage is se
vere, he said.
Mexico City
alone needs 80,
000 new dwell
ings to meet
new demands
and replace out- Mr- RBbl'd#
worn structures.
The chief difficulty in undertak
ing an adequate housing program in
Mexico and other Latin American
countries, he said, is the inadequacy
of capital to do the job.
He said he believes there are
many opportunities open in Latin
America for American capital to
make a profit in this field.
During the war, many luxury-type
apartment buildings were built In
Mexico City. Rentals are extremely
high, and as a result many now
have a high vacancy rate.
The need in Mexico, he said, la
for low and mediui* rent projects,
of which there are only a few under%
! way.
Mr. Robledo said individual houses
can be built in Colombia for me
dium-income families for about
$4,000. Publicly built housing is
under way, he said, for sale to low
income families on the basis of 8
per cent mortgages. The Interest
rate on privately built housing, he
said, is as high as 9 per cent.
