SUNDAY, NOV. 18, 1051 Hardboard Used As Wall Covering

Roof Cement

Asphalt roof cement, generally called “plastic cement,” is well, adapted for wuse in flashing around chimneys and other roof openings because its elasticity permits expansion and contrac. tion.under changing temperatures without cracking and crumbling.

Legal Pointers

Attorney Francis M. Hughes will speak on “Legal Factors in a Real Estate Transaction” at 7 p. m. tomorrow at the Antlers Hotel before the weekly Educational class of the Indianapolis teal Estate Board.

Splashed water in the _bath-| room soon causes plaster walls to deteriorate. Instead of replastering, many families cover these walls with scored panels of Masonite.: hardboard especially designed for this purpose, as they are not injured by water or high humidities.

Any color scheme may be used to decorate the smooth, tile-like surfaces to convert the bathroom into an attractive spot. Mainte-

nance is simple, too, for one needs only a dampened cloth and a mild soap to keep these painted walls clean.

Any craftsman who can follow easy directions is capable of doing a first-class job of covering old walls with Masonite, If preferred, these panels are available from various manufacturers who nave applied lasting finishes in a variety of colors and pat-

sterns in their factories.

Real Beauty

Hardwood face veneers having the most exquisite grain figures are cut from the forks of large limbs, gnarled tree bases, or from warty growths which sometimes afflict trees.

_ Private Building

May Come Back. In Great Britain

Churchill's victory in the recent English election means a new lease on life for the private home building industry in socialized England. - In a letter to the National A=sociation of Real Estate Boards headquarters at Washington, William Craven-Ellis, former member of Parliament and British building expert, predicted that private building would be reborn .in England. : Jal The Conservatives have pledged to unshackle the private builders by modification of the Labor Party's Town and Country Planning Act. Under this legislation, Mr. Craven-Ellis pointed out, the Socialist housing program never succeeded in reaching their goal
