WIRING NEW HOME

when e new home is being fired provisions should be made for the expansion of the system. it addi- tions to the home are planned for

[later years. Short circuits are a

common catise o! fire, and particu- lar care should be given to the wire used for branch circuits serv- ing kitchen, basements, or utility room. SHELF FOR GALOSHES

A shell across the back o! the coat. closet Just above the base- board is a convenient place for the rubbers and galoshes that usually clutter up the floor. The shelf should slope to the wall and be set

COLORFUL CHIMNEYS

White chimneys on gray houses,

buff ones on green or other simi-

SHALLOW SIIELVES BEST Shallow shelves are most. con- venient in the bathroom medicine chest. When bottles or Jars are placed one in front o! the other they are difficult to get at and are very apt to get broken in the shuffle. The shelves should be of graduated sizes to take care of as- sorted bottles.

APPLIED FLOORING A house that does not have the type of flooring the owner desires may have an applied floor cover- ing laid ovcr the old floor, if it ls not possible to replace the Worn one. - CASDIENTS OVER SINK Architects have found it practi- cal to specify casement windows when a u-lnclor: is located over a

‘There should be enough light in each mom no that all articles and portions of the room are clearly discernible, but the light should not be so glaring or so bright as to be injurious t0 the eyes The color of the room should not be chosen merely from an aesthetic standpoint.

Combined Blue Tones Aid Lighting 0f Hall

An effective color combination for a well-lighted hall in a public building combines two tones of blue with sand color and silver and accents the scheme with deep orange and black. Walls are paint- ed in two tones of blue --—the deep-

area. Black dado strip and base- board, as well as black vertical columns with silver stripes, show up well in contrast to the sand- colored ﬂoor which ‘has been deep orange ln its design.

l Storm Window

Panels Hinged For Ventilation

1f you had storm window; at your home for the first time last winter you may have found than Just a bit; too air-tight and result in ‘the rooms being a bit stuffy. n this is the case now is the time to figure out a. way of building a panel on them that may be opened for ventilation purposes. A good carpenter can suggest several ways to renovate them so as to get rid or that “sealed up for the winter feeling.

Now Is Time To Guard Against . Frozen Pipes

This is the time of year to pre- pare against frozen pipes. If’ you have exposed pipes 1n the house that have the habit of freezing, you had better have them covered with some sort or insulating material. If them, are pipes enclosed 1n an ex- posed outside wall, it would pay either to open the wall and insul- ate them or at the sacrifice of ap- pearances, to bring them inside and run them exposed. Frozen pipes can cause a. great deal of damage.
