Steel-Porcelain House
Placed on Exhibit Here
The much discussed steel-and
porcelain - enamel, t wo - bedroom
house, to be produced soon on a
mass basis, went on exhibition to
day at Rock Creek Parkway and
| New Hampshire avenue N.W.
Known as the Lustron House, it
| will be on display for six months.
Before that time, the company
hopes' to have the prefabricated
! units rolling off assembly lines.
Present estimates call for the house
to sell at $8,000, exclusive of lot, de
livered in Washington.
The entire house is formed of
panels fused of sheet steel and por
celain enamel, which the company
says makes it rustproof, fireproof
and termiteproof.
Various colors are used in each
room and for the exterior, which is
made of the same material. There
are six different color combinations.
Volunteers of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and ladies’ auxiliary
will staff the house during visiting
hours, which are noon until 10 p.m.
daily.

two extinguishers can be used simul
taneously by two persons, or one can
be kept on hand while the other is
being refilled. To operate, the unit
is pointed downward at the base of
the fire and the valve handle is
easily turned to the right. A dense,
dry snow-fog smothers the flames.
The 31-inch length permits the user
to extinguish a fire while remaining
at a safe distance.
The extinguisher lasts indefinitely
and refilling is easy and inexpensive.

Cleaning a Fireplace.
Question: la there any way I can
clean out my fireplace? As a result
of my burning wood all winter, It is
black from smoke.
Answer: With the throat damper
open, the ashes can be shoveled out
without raising too much dust.
Brush off as much of the thick
soot as you can, using a stiff brush.
Then scrub the masonry with a
strong solution of trisodium phos
phate (large paint store) using a
cupful in a gallon of hot water,
also a scouring powder if there are
stubborn stains. A gritty hand soap
used by mechanics would serve well.
Follow by thorough rinsing. (When
properly applied, wood ashes can be
used in a garden with good results.)
