Homes Built on Women's Hints

THE IDEAS of 300 women were incorporated in a house recently built in California by publishers of a magazine. Among some of their opinions were: “I want a level lot—I'm tired of reviving my friends when they arrive wheezing at my door.” “I want easy access to the garden—my husband hasn’t been in ours for two years.” Most of the women wanted: A patio, attached garage, separate dining room, covered entrance, front hallway, powder room, plenty of closets, two bathrooms, pack-age-delivery door, extra bedroom, first-floor laundry, extra electric outlets. They didn’t want: Steep driveways, unwieldy garage doors, changes in level, dark entrance hall, corner windows, round windows, rooms as traffic lanes, insufficient wall space.

BETTER WORK BOARDS

Kitchen work boards, for slicing bread and vegetables or cutting meat, frequently have a tendency {to splinter. A non-splintering work board can be made easily from tempered pressed wood, a hard, grainless all-wood fibre board. The glossy surface will neither absorb odors nor turn the edges on knives.

DEFENSE AIDS U. S. BUILDING

Dodge Predicts "41 Will Be Best Since ’30, With 14 Per Cent Gain.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22 (U. P.). — America’s defense program will dominate the construction field in 1941, the Dodge Statistical Research Service said today, predicting that next year’s total building volume would top all records since 1930 and that public construction would reach

a new all-time peak. The service forecast combined private and public building and engineering awards in the 37 eastern states (including Indiana) for 1941 at $4,400,000,000, an increase of 14 per cent over this year’s estimated volume of $3,850,000,000. Public awards for next year, expected to consist principally of Army, Navy, Air Corps, defense industry and defense housing work, were forecast at $2,200,000,000, up 31 per cent from the 1940 level, while private awards were estimated at the same amount, which would represent a gain of only 1 per cent. The Dodge Service emphasized that its 1941 estimates might be revised upward if the next Congress should vote additional appropriations for defense construction, but pointed out that there are two major factors in the situation which might tend to limit the amount of acual work undertaken next year. 1. The possibility that the construction industry's facilities may not be adequate to carry the double load of largely increased public and private building. 2. The danger that rapid rises in construction costs may tend to curtail the volume of moderate-priced structures that would otharwise be in strong demand.

CORNICE BOARDS ADVISED Cornice board covering the tops of your window draperies will do much to improve the appearance of a room and at the same time will

‘help keep the drapeties clean. They

can be made easily by using p:essed wood applied over a wood frame. The edges can be cut to any design, and this all-wood fiber material takes a variety of finishes.
