Skimping <m fsotiiis III either size or concrete mix • .poor economy. • • • Where is it wise to cat costs in your new home and where is it wise to buy the best ? This is a problem that most home builders face more than once jriuring construction. And what is the answer? It is a problem that every home owner must settle to the best of Ihifi ability with the help of his eontractor and architect. Replacement Big Factor There is one general principle that can be set down here, however. Briefly, it is this. Any part of your house that it is not practical to replace should have the best in construction and materials. By this we mean such items as footings and foundation, timber skeleton and frame work, windows and window frames, which are really part of the house frame, concealed ducts and wiring. All these things must last the life of the house. Wiser to Wait It is wiser to wait for some of the attractive furnishings and fixtures until more money is available, rather CREAKY FLOORS --Very often the resqlt of skimping on size of floor joists. Another example of the wrong place to cut costs. SSSBHS DRAFTY WINDOWS--Result of poor fitting and cheap construction. A few dollars extra spent for precision built windows and frames would save enough in fuel costs to pay for slight extra cost. than to skimp on fundamental parts of a house which will only mean costly repairs, excessive heating bills and disgust and discomfort in years to come. Remember: if you cant replace them, make them good. MTTV CAM HOC ACTCH II TO POOR APPLICATION When you see the putty crackinjf away from your windows in big chunks, don't be too quick about blaming it on the putty.

In one sketch, we show you the •rdinary way that putty is applied to P-sash^: windows. This method is quick and cheap, but it is usually temporary be ckuse swelling of the wood from th> inside causes the putty to crack off.

Washington, March 6--Dilatory tactics calculated to discourage efforts to enact small but powerful blocs will probably be adopted shortly as Congress winds up consideration of important appropriation bills. A filibuster against the anti-lynching bill in the Senate, if prolonged as effectively as in other years, will likely sound the death knell of the administrative procedure reform measure and all attempts to amend the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards statute. While the White House would not stand in the way of the anti-lynching proposal, it is reported they welcome any parliamentary device which would prevent Congress from imposing restrictions on the existing powers of labor and other regulating agencies. Mr. Roosevelt has been conferring with his Capitol Hill leaders for the purpose of working out a new program in the light of recent developments. It is believed Congress will not touch foreign affairs at this time with the exception of ratifying the trade agreement policies. The President prefers a free hand in dealing with the international situation. The economy drive has bogged down with huge Senate increases in the Agricultural appropriation bill. The spenders will have another field day with special funds for national defense. The Chief Executive found many pressing domestic issues awaiting his attention this week after his Southern holiday. Politicians are puzzled over the resignation of Minority Leader Martin from important posts on the Republican National Committee. Some profess to see in the move a gesture towards the Presidential nomination, but others more familiar with the maneuvers of the G. O. P. House spokesman feel that he is merely strengthening his position with the Landon bloc at the nominating convention and bidding for the speakefw ship in the event the Republicans control the House in thp next Congress. Martin enjoys a popularity among his fellow partisans find opponents like that accorded Jack Garner when he occupied a similar position and was subsequently elevated to speakership. Not one of Garner's Democratic successors have enjoyed this personal following Which is necessary to build * speaker of the House into a figure of national stature. It is believed that Joe Martin recognizes that he does not possess the necessary political glamour at this time and is witling to play his cards to acquire power through the speakership which is considered by many second only to the Presidency. > The President's visit to Panama is expected to sunoort his personal interest in the War Department's efforts to increase the defense system. It is generally recognized that, the Panama Canal is a vital arterv of our national defense because it is a connecting link between the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. Suegestions for cutting another canal across Nicaragua have never gone beyond th« investigation stage. In fact, a Federal survey party has just returned and is now compiling a report as to the practicability of such a project. It is believed they will recommend a barge canal, which would have a depth of only ten to fifteen feet and obviously inadequate fdr ocean-going vessels of deep draft. The Panama Canal has figured prominently in the House debate on the War Department's Civil Functions Appropriation bill and will absorb similar attention in the Senate. The military officials have already been authorized to work out a third waterway across the canal. The plans so far have been confined to foundations, which will be bomb proof, and to excavations. This waterway would be utilized exclusively by the Navy in times of an emergency. A House committee report which curtailed the appropriation stated that a third canal was no commercially justifiable until 1960. The new canal will cost approximately ninety Trillion dollars for excavation of lock sites and approaches, while the locks themselves will cost about 277 million dollars. It will require at least two years to draw the plans for the locks and perhaps a similar period for their construction and installation. The government and labor unions are greatly disturbed over the tremendous num-| ber of alien workmen now employed I in the Canal Zone and the approxi- j mate influx of others when this work is going full blast. Some of the bills j authorizing a third canal project re-! strict employment of supervisory offi- i cials to those holding American citizenship. The Congressional treatment of the Corps- of Engineers of the United States Army is a sign of the changing times. For many years this agency was the most powerful governmental lobby in existence because they had control over patronage in various Congressional districts in which navigable streams were located. The melting snows and the rising streams which tell of the approach of spring still find many Congressmen seeking help from the Army only to be reminded that Congress itself stripped the regular government departments of power and turned it over kit and caboodle to the emergency alphabetical agencies, especially to relief groups.
