are That Attic Space Has Many Uses Reclaim it From Usclessness and Convert It Into Bedrooms and Study or Play Space More and more home owners are learning that there is valu. able space in the attic which can be reclaimed from cobwebs and old trunks and converted into bedrooms, study rooms; or play space, Ions planning this reclama- tion, the home owner should ex- amine all details of the projeet as many problems are likely to arise before the job is complet. ed. MODERNIZING THE CHIMNEY One feature of this moderniza- tion which must be handled pro- perly to achieve a neat appear. ance is that of finishing the chim- ney. Plaster authorities say that if plaster is applied directly to the chimney, the shape of the bricks will. soon show through, Also, they add, the bond between the bricks and the plaster is us- ually so poor that the plastee will crack and perhaps much of it will fall off. If the chimney is slightly in. clined, as is said to be the case frequently in older buildings, the sloping faces of the chimney will be too rough. for plastering. Encasing- the chimney brick- work in metal lath to serve as a base for the plaster is said to be one way of overcoming these dif. ficultics.

[Toutits May Visit Commons- Rules Are Imposed; Caution Is Exercised In Tourist Calls Toursits and otheg visitors have Parliament Bylldings but certain vestrictions have been imposed, Speaker James Glen told the House of Commons last week, Ho describ- ed reports to the effect all visitors were barred as Incorréct. "Ingtructions have beon given that where visitors desire to enter the building they do so If accompan- led by some person who Is respon. sible, who {is well-known or who holds a responsible position," said the Speaker. - MUST BE ACCOMPANIED Cases have arisen, he sald, where members of parties of visitors be- ing shown about the building by guides became seperated from the parties and disappeared. In view ot conditions and the fact that the pre- vious building had been lost by fire In- the first Great War this could not be permitted. Accordingly, all visitors would have to be accompanied by some person known to the officlals, who would be responsible for them. It was necessary that members of the protective staft know where all per- sons admitted to the bullding were. The Speaker .also asked the co: operation of members of Parlla. ment.

"Use i Burma Highway Is Like Movie Dream Threads Way Through The Snow-Capped Hills and Rice Fields The Burma Road, which Great Britain has agreed to close to halt a flow of war supplies to ' _the Chinese Central Goverment, 'is a highway which might have beén conceived by a Hollywood director and executed by 'the Pharahos of ancient Egypt. It is a vital part of the 2,000- mile long trade route from Bur- ma's seaport of Rangoon to the Yangtse river, connecting the Bur- mese railroad at Lashio with Kun- ming (formerly called Yunnanfu), the capital of Yummnan Province. Work on the most difficult stretch 'of the great new 'road, between the Burma border and Kunming, was not started until the fall of 1937, when military exigencies caused the British auth- orities to cut through a freight route to British Asia' to ship pro- ducts to regions cut off by the Japanese occupation of Pacific ports. The 'Hollywood setting is pro- vided by sparsely settled regions of snowcapped mountains and ricebordered plateau lakes, trop- ical jungles of bamboo and teak- wood, and forests of towering evergreens where bands of gib- bons scream in the shadows and strange birds chatter and sing. The suggestion of ancient Egyptian: methods of construction is inesdapable, Most of 'the con- struction was .done by hand by thousands of men, women and children with only a few crude "tools.
