Landlady Considers
Appeal of $500 Fine
In Eviction, Rerental
Mrs. Doris R. Frankfurt, first
landlady to be convicted here of
evading the Rent Control Act by
evicting a tenant on a false claim
| she needed his apartment for her
;own use, today had the choice of
paying a $500 fine or posting an ap
peal bond in the same amount.
Should the defendant fail to do
either, she faces a 60-day jail term
imposed by Judge John P. McMahon
in Municipal Court, where prose
cution started early last month.
Counsel Weighs Action.
On her conviction earlier this
week, Defense Counsel Herman
Miller asked a delay until 4 p.m. to
day to decide on his next course of
; action.
Principal witness for the District
was R. A. Brantley., of the Rent
Control Administrator's office, who
testified the defendant lives in sec
ond-floor rooms of an apartment
house she owns in the 1500 block of
Twenty-eighth place S.E.
Mr. Brantley told the court, Mrs.
j Frankfurt gained possession of a
1 first-floor apartment in eviction
proceedings last April, when she
said she needed those rooms for her
| own use. Evicted were Mr. and
Mrs. William J. McCarthy and their
two children.
Higher Rental Charged.
The witness, under questioning by
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King, added that later the
same month Mrs. Frankfurt in
stalled furniture and rented the
quarters to Lt. Robert P. McMurty, j
stationed at Andrews Field. In the!
transaction she netted an extra $24:
a month, Mr. King said.
Mrs. Frankfurt defended her ac
tion by testifying she originally
planned to occupy the first-floor
rooms but later changed her mind.

time we have storm sash on all
windows. Can you advise?
Answer: The trouble is due to
dampnes in the wood, which breaks
the bonds of the paint and darkens
the varnish. I believe the cause is
moist air of the house against the
cold surfaces of the windows.
A leaflet on condensation is being
sent to you to enable you to trace
the cause of the dampness in the
' air of your house. I also suggest
that you examine the windows, in
side and out, for leaks around the
frames. Inside leaks can be closed
with putty, and outside leaks with
caulking compound, forced in with
a caulking gun.'
Portable-Electric Washer.
A small, handy electrical washer
which fits in with modern small
space-living conditions has been
recently marketed. Working on
AC or DC, 110 volts, 60 cycles, it
washes clothes without beating,
wrenching or tearing. Nothing
touches the clothes but air and
water.
Air suction from a powerful mo
tor forces water and air bubles
through the fabric 50 times a min
ute. This manufactured»tide of
aerated water rapidly surges up and
down, and leaves every .fiber free of
grime. The bubble action floods out
ail flecks of soap and dirt, leaving
the washing whiter. The aerated
water gives clothes dried indoors a
sweet, fresh, outdoor smell.
The washers are manufactured in

is difficult to find some one who
does this work, and I understand
it is a very expensive operation. Do
you know where I could learn to
do this work?
Answer: Possibly the Home
Craftsman Magazine, 115 Worth
street, New York, or Popular Me
chanics Press, 200 East Ontario
street, Chicago, may have printed
instructions on doing this work. Or
you might inquire at your local
public school. There may be a
teacher of manual training who
gives instructions in chair caning.
Laying Linoleum.
Question: I intend to lay a new
kitchen linoleum soon, and would
like to know if the joints should
be cemented to the floor. Would
you suggest laying it directly, over
the old linoleum? I’ve heard of1
gome doing this. Will this be1
satisfactory?
Answer: It is considered better to
remove the old linoleum first in
order to obtain a smoother job.
However, in some cases, where the
old linoleum has no worn places and
lies smoothly on the floor, it is all
right to put the new over the old.
The linoleum is cemented all
over, not just at the joints. A
linoleum layer could do a good job
for you, but it you must do the
work yourself, get a handbook that
explains the work and tells what
tools to get.
