It's only in re- cent years that houses have been esigned with a view to making e basement the convenient, func- tional space it should But, fortunately for owners of older homes, it is quite practical to work the miracle of the mid- century and convert the old, un- tidy, grimy basement into the place for recreation the family has alwas wanted. Adaptations of this added space, this extra one or two rooms in your house, are almost limitless. For work or play, for entertain- ment or relaxation, the space is yours to use as you will. A family that likes to entertain will likely go for - the rumpus room type of basement, with its area of hardwood dancing floor, its soda and snack bar. Here, with the aid of that radio - phonograph that you almost traded in, and some furniture that can be jumped on without mother yelling "help", is the ideal spot for the "crew cut" crowd to cut loose without disturbing the entire household. And it's an equall appealing spot at times for "the old man", when a few of his friends drop in for a hand of poker or pinochle. To him, the basement used to be the place where, armed with shov- el and ash scoop, he fought out | his winter long battle with the fur- nace. | But today's heating plants are (as different from those of yester- | | year as the basements themselves. | t is, in fact, only through the {development of modern heating plant, that this miraculous trans- formation of the basement has been made possible. Self - stoking, compact, easy to maintain, the heating plant now performs its task of keeping the house warm so unobstrusively, so cleanly. and in so little space, that the basement, once useless, now becomes one or rooms in your house. Sometimes the heating plant can be conceal- the basement. But in many cases it has become, through its attrac- tively acceptable appearance part of the normal furniture of a base- ment rumpus room. To the hobbyist, the basement presents a heaven - sent opportun- ity. Here he can set up a work- room of his own. He can experi- ment with radio, or reconstruct the Canadian National Railway in min- iature. Yes, here he can spend his leisure hours as he wants to spend I HE howl SWITCHED even two extra |d ed in a small room of its own in|to Eight Rooms In Six-Room Miracle them, disturbing no one and him- self undisturbed, The basement can also be con- verted to the needs of those athlet- ically inclined. It is an ideal loca- | Pi tion for a home gymnasium, and since basements are generally fur- nished with plumbing facilities, it is not too difficult for the athlete to have his own shower or steam bath. Compact, self - contained shower cabinets take up little TOI, and are not difficult to in- stall. With housing at the premium it is today, many people have even converted their basements in self - contained living quarters. With today's heating and plumbing equipment, the possibility of con- verting the basement into a two or three roomed apartment is no dream, but a reasonably accom- plished fact, What is more, the tenant need have no fear of either dirt or discomfort from the heat- ing plant, designed as it is to do its job cleanly, automatically and efficiently. 80 in this day and age, the six- rom house becomes an eight-room house, the owner of which finds himself in a healthier, happier and, what is equally important, a mueh more valuable home because of this mid-century miracle. Nobody Ever Says 'Pshaw' Many doubtless regrettable ex- pressions, indicative of impatience and disgust, must have been used recently by those who heard the rain rattling against the window while the passionlezs voice of the announcer foretold hail and thun- er for the morrow, relates the Times of London. Yet none of these exclamations, as it is rather odd reflect, are those used by the persons in literature, which has, in this respect, a vocabulary of its own, JUST ISN'T USED There is '"Pshaw" for instance. Can anybody lay his hand on his heart and declare that he ever heard anyone say "Pshaw"? No one ever does say it. There is a character in Mr. Priestley's '"Fes- tival at Farbridge" who "made a mise that suggested he was think- ing along 'Pshaw' lines." That is a piece of accurate observation. We do make inarticulate noi but to |the blind ri as for utfering "Pshaw' we do not even know whether the p is silent or not. There is a kindred form ""Tscha' which seems to convey somethin, more of fury; but it is never h no use for superior persons Jshaw about it because an, ys say it, Cor! it is I to the spirits, to day in small most re- e street we can hear the DOES YOUR ROOF LEAK? . .. neither is the endidly scornful "Ba," though it is constantly writ- ten, There are are of course some expressiong which are purely per- scnal and, however dramatic, can never come into general use, "Bent tman!' excalimed Morris Fins- bury when he was suddenly told there were no assets in the bank and had to explain to the aston- ished cashier, that this was "only Sidney Woodhouse, 54, was sur- Jie us ruined cottage in the Norfo notified he had won $5300 in a football pool.
