Answer: Try scrubbing off the j scum with a strong solution of am-; monia and hot water, then rinse with clear water. A handful of borax in! each tubful of laundry water may help to prevent the formation of scum, particularly if the water in your locality is hard. , ; ' Warped Table Leal Question: How can I straighten out a one-hundred-year-old mahogany table leaf that has become warped? It is three-fourths inch thick, 14 inches wide and 3 feet 6 inches long. It has been planed and finished with linseed oil and shellac. Answer: For such a very choice piece it would be best to entrust it to an experienced cabinet maker, or someone else who has had experience. A home method woald be to lay the leaf in a space where it can remain for several days. Rest it on blocks of wood with the concave side up. Place weights of about 50 pounds on the high ends of the warped corners; you/ can use large books for this. After several days the piece should straighten, and should be allowed to bend slightly the other way. Ceating Wallpapers Question: I wonder if shellacking Chinese wallpaper, which has a cloth base, would make it washable. Is it a mistake to shellac ordinary wallpaper? Answer: Pure white shellac can be used satisfactorily, but I wcfuld prefer coating wallpaper with what is known as a water-clear, white dammar varnish. Wallpapers of any type will last longer when coated with varnish or shellac. • • • Burning Ashes Question: Is there a saving of coal when I wet the ashes and burn them again and form clinkers, or should I not use the ashes again? Answer: Ashes should not be placed on a fire. They will not only dampen the fire, but the formation of clinkers will certainly do the furnace no good. If you wish to be thrifty, the ashes might be sifted and the unburned coal picked out and reused. Repointing Brickwork Question: I have been told that lime should be added to cement and sand for repointing brickwork. If this is so, what is the proportion? Answer: Yes, the addition of lime makes a smooth and workable mortar mixture. The usual proportions are one part Portland cement, one part hydrated lime and five parts clean, coarse building sand. • • • Rough Drawing Boa®®^? Question: I would like to have your advice on smoothing the roughened surface of a drawing board. It was roughened by a pocket knife to give a better bond between the wood and rendering paper. Answer: If the wood has been deeply gouged, the surface of the board will have to be planed, then sanded with a medium coarse sandpaper, and for a final smoothing use a "0" qr "00" sandpaper. If there are no deep gouges in the board, sandpapering should be sufficient. Cleaning Been The enormous number of 1,250.- 000,000 garments was cleaned , in 1943.

Keep on He« As spring temperatures skip around from balmy to cold and back to balmy, it's economical never to let your heating plant, whether coal or oil, go out entirely. Reheating from scratch, when the temperatures descend suddenly, consumes much more fuel ihan keeping the plant running at low heat. If you have a fireplace, remember it can be a big help in heating the house on mild days or taking the chill off in the early mornings.
