Q. How can I prevent some of my pumps from constantly slipping off the heel of my foot? A. Try using a half-inch width of elastic about six inches long, fastening the middle of this strip on the inside of the heel of your pump. Stretch the ends slightly then fasten them to the sides of the shoe. Place them where they will be concealed from sight, of course. Q. How can I cope with white spots left on furniture by alcohol? A. Apply some petroleum jelly, and rub vigorously with a wad of cotton. Fresh spots usually disappear after one application, but old spots may require several treatments. Q. How can I remedy the slipping and sliding of some of my small rugs on my polished floors? A. Apply some ordinary rubber cement to the underside of the rug. Sometimes, just coating the underside of the rug at its corners will do the job. Q. How can I clean light felt hats? A. One of the best methods is to rub the soiled spots, or the entire hat, with a cube of French chalk which may be purchased at any drugstore. Allow this to remain on the hat for a few hours, or overnight, then brush off with a soft brush. Q. How can I prevent my pi© shells from bubbling or shrinking during the baking? A. Try baking your pies between two pie pans of the same size. These tins should be of light material, such as tin or aluminum. After 10 minutes in the oven, remove the top tin, and continue baking until brown. Q. How can I clean acoustical ceiling and wall materials? A. Use the brijsh attachment on your vacuum^ cleaner to do this job. Stubborn smudges can be removed with wallpaper cleaner, or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Q. What can I do for pictures that have been stored away for some time and have become somewhat dingy-looking? A. Remove the glass and frame, and then rub the picture gently with a slice of bread. The bread crumbs will often rub the dirt right off, and leave a protective film on the pictures too. - 1 Drivers Seat i Here's a fascinating summer driving game you can play: It's called, "Spot the Wacky Sign". The idea is to see who can come up with the most unusual traffic sign specimens, such as Q. How can I clean the inside of a deep vase or jar? A. You can usually make a good job of this by adding bits of wrapping paper to warm soapy water and shaking the vase or jar well. Ammonia in the rinse water makes the glass more brilliant. Q. How can I repair a small leak in a water pipe? A. Wind some adhesive tape around it, then give it a coat of shellac. This repair will last quite a long time. Q. What is the best way to remove rain spots from a 'felt hat? A. Rub the surface of the hat with steel wool until the nap is raised and you'll find the spots have disappeared. "Thou Shalt Not Park", "Dears Crossing", or "Smile, You're On Radar". Signs like these are the pride of local Voads-and -streets committee chairmen and other well-intentioned citizens. But the precise meaning of such "cute" signs -- and those unfunny signs that give a confusing abundance of directional information ~ often are missed by motorists traveling at highway speeds. In some localities, foreign visitors driving in this country are confused by many traffic signs because of unfamiliarity with the language. There's hope for the American sign system, however. Government officials are taking a long look at an international symbol-sign system used throughout most of Europe and in some parts of Latin America and Canada. Most symbol signs are wordless,, Others use a minimum of words or numbers to convey their intended meaning. For example, the "Do Not Enter" sign is a red circle with a horizontal black bar through it. "Pedestrian crossing" is simply a triangle with WED., APR., 24, 1968 - PLAINDEALER - PG. the outline of a man walking inside it. "No U-Turn" isared circle with a diagonal line slashing through an upsidedown "U". A speed-limit sign is a red circle with a number inside. In all, there are about 100 different symbols in the system but -once learned by driverst these signs provide informatio at a glance -- which is about all you have time for at highway speed. All the signs are in bright easy-to-read colors that command attention, and all are reflectorized for easy visibility at night. Officials in the countries that use the signs report significant reductions in nearly all types of automobile accidents, which indicates that sign confusion has a great deal to do with driving mishaps. Hopefully, symbol signs will eventually be adopted for use in this country. Until then, American motorists will have to make do with a system of traffic Signs that recently prompted one magazine to publish a cartoon showing a multi-lane expressway jammed with cars and dominated by a huge overhead sign; filled with instructions, includ-J ing, "This Lane For Slow Read-: ers". _________ USE THE CLASSIFIED "• EDDIE the il S0yS*% 65% In 1967 the total percentage of successful bond and tax referend*' dropped to 63 percent in Illinois,'1 its lowest level in the past four years.
