CELLULOID AROUND SWITCH PLATES WILL PROTECT WALLPAPER A NE of the little things that wpr- " ries a careful housekeeper is the soiling of wallpaper around switch-plates. Fumbling fingers in the dark may leave marks that cannot easily be erased. This situation can be made easier through the use of a sheet of thin transparent celluloid, or of heavy cellophane. The switch-plate is taken off. which can be easily done by releasing the screws that show in the face. Usually there are two, but for plates that combine two switches, or a switch and an outlet there may be four. The switch-plate is laid on the sheet of transparent material, and a piece cut out an inch or two larger, i by the army air forces for almost J ! two years, has proved safer and I more accurate than torpedoing in i the destruction of enemy warships ! and similar objectives. The army | | hegan tests of the technique at Egj lin Field, Fla., in January, 1942, the •article disclosed, and after months I I of testing all types of aircraft from f four-engined bombers to light pursuit planes an army report concluded that "skip--»or masthead--U>mbing is better than torpedoing bef cause it offers better security and : greater accuracy." i A torpedo-bearing plane, it was ! found; had to meintain a 20 to j 30 second level approach at slow ' speed, during whiih. it offered a : good target for enemy gunners. The 1 skip-bomber approach, however, i could be made at lower level and at the "maximum sea level speed of the attacking airplane," the pilot ; flying straight for only two or three Poultry Cannibalism Cannibalism in the laying houM results from overcrowding, from inactivity , and from accidents.

Being transparent, the wallpaper pattern will show through, and the addition will hardly be noticed. Even greasy and perspiring fingers will leave no traces, or if they do, they can easily be wiped out with a damp cloth. Peeling Paint on Bathroom Walls Question: The paint on our bathroom walls is peeling badly; we should like to repaint but are afraid that the same thing might happen again. The worst spot is around the sink, where water splashes on the walls. Answer: Ordinary 'flat paint should not be used in bathroom or kitchen. For the best modern effect, finish your bathroom walls at least halfway up with wall linoleum or with tile. For the rest of the wall you can use wall cloth, which is ^v^aterproof and comes in handsome designs. Another choice would be glossy enamel. If you cannot use linoleum or tile; wall cloth or enamel can be used for all the wall, except around the shower. There the plaster of the walls should have a waterproof covering; wall cloth will serve in this instance. Wallpaper Patch Wallpaper of the same pattern can be used to cover a marred place on a papered wall. The paper should not be cut, for the edges would show up in a strong light. The paper should be torn from the badk, which will give the front surface a feathery edge that will not be conspicuous. Library paste, somewhat thinned with water, can be used, or regular wallpaper paste. Spread this liberally on the back of the paten, place the patch on the wall and slide it around to fit in with the pattern on the wall.

So; «ible to'get akui'g w!th"fewer clothes! Even greater variety can be ob- Jumper Dress Favored At Year-Round Garb T"he jumper dress has become a year-round favorite. Worn in summer with sheer white blouses, and in winter with heavier colored blouses, the jumper makes it pos-' gert of New York city, curator of recent amphibians and reptiles in the American Museum of Natural History. "Most snakes are nocturnal," Mr. Bogert says. 'They prefer to do their hunting at night. Many snakes are secretive; they remain hidden much of the time, and even when they are abroad their colors so completely harmonize with their surroundings that it is difficult to see them. I have seen 40 people walk within a yard of a three-foot rattlesnake and fail to see it." "Venomous serpents are equipped with fangs primarily for the purpose of killing their prey," says Mr. Bogert, who has investigated the habits of American, African, Australian and Asiatic reptiles. "Ordinarily snakes venture forth from their seclusion only to mate or to feed. They do not wander about aimlessly as was formerly thought. "If a snake has fangs it is venomous," he, continues. "No other single fchar&cter provides a reliable means of distinguishing harmless snakes from venomous snakes. All rattlesnakes are venomous, of course, but many snakes related to the cobras look superficially like harmless serpents." , - tained by different types of blouses. The tailored blouse, with plain turnover collar, is appropriate for all occasions, and the blouse with a rippling frill down the front, or a wide ruffle for a collar, is more, dressy. Choose blouses that are washable. That doesn't mean they must be white. Most colored rayons as well as colored cottons take to water like a duck. Wash them as soon as the neckline, which soils quickest, shows signs of dirt, even if the rest of the blouse looks fairly clean. One of the reasons for this is conservation. The less rubbing you have to do on any part of the blouse, ihe longer the blouse will last. White cotton blouses are perkier if starched lightly. Some girls prefer to keep the tuck-in part t>f the blouse unstarched, so it will lie flatter under the jumper. This can be arranged by dipping only the top part into the starch. | Educated Japs Korea sent a cultural mission to Japan in the Third century, A.

Ink on Wallpaper Question: How can ink be re moved from yellow wallpaper? Answer: Try ink eradicator, which can be obtained at a stationery or drugstore. This, howevei, wil} bleach out the color of the paper, but you may be able to touch up the marred area with water colors from a child's paint box. If the paper has a pattern, this should not be difficult to do. If the yellow is a plain color, a marked area probably will remain. You either can hang a picture or square of tapestry over it, or get your paper hanger to make a neat patch of matching paper; or you can do it yourself. Damp Bedroom Question: The room where my two children sleep has no cellar under it and the floor always is damp What can we do? Answer: If there is enough spat» underneath for a workman to crawl, you could have blanket insulation at least two inches thick, enclosed in waterproof paper, nailed between the floor joists. Before installing the insulation, coat the underside of the floor and beams with a liquid tar or asphalt.

Great Historical Battle One of the great battles of history was^ought ih Apulia, Ita"/. in 216 B. C., during the Second Punic war. At Cannae, near the modern seaport, of Barletta, the Carthaginians defeated the far superior forces of Rome by the cleverness of their leader, Hannibal. Hannibal's tactics of outflanking and encircling the enemy on that occasion have been called the forerunner of the present-day, large-scale pincer movemqg^ Leave Sinking Ship There are many sailors who will swear that a rat will not remain on any ship that is going to sink, but will invariably go ashore prior to the last sailing. In the days of wocden ships and iron men, leaks were obstacles with which a, ship master had almost constantly to contend. When the seams started to open and the water slowly entered the hull, the rats, cozily installed in the hold, would be the first to discover the situation and would hastily migrate ashore in search of more comfortable quarters. Question: The finishes on my two lamps, one brass and one bronze, are stained and peeling. I should like to paint them ivory. What should I do? Answer: Remove all traces of lacquer from the lamps by wiping with lacquer thinner or acetone. (This is inflammable, so be careful of fire.) Rub the metal with steel wool, then wipe with turpentjne. Apply a coat of enamel undercoat or flat wall paint, and then finish the job with a very good quality, quick-drying enamel. Gam in Ration By U.
