Winn. 44 Room Should Be Studied Before Finish Is Decided In choosing the textural finish for the walls of one's new home there are many things to be considered, the size of the room, the location, the. lighting, the furnishings, and the purpose of the room. As a general rule it should be re- membered that one can tint plastic paint a little lighter than the case would be if the finish were to be smooth and flat. This is desirable be- cause of the fact that the plastic paint texture is such as to break up the light. Therefore, the shadows cast 'on the surface make it seem darker than it really is.

QUEER MOTOR CRASH Winnetka Tourist Dodges Runaway Car Wheel Overturning Own Ma- chine in Ditch; Escapes Injury In dodging a large disc wheel which flew off a car approaching at high speed the car which he was driving, Alvar R. Sutter, of 827 Prospect ave- nue, Winnetka, was forced into a ditch at the roadside where his car was turned upside down, making temporary prisoners of the seven passengers. Mr. Sutter, crawling out of the win- dow at the driver's seat, expected to find others pinned in the wreck, seri- ously, if not fatally injured, but all escaped with minor cuts and bruises. The accident occurred near Wal- worth, Wis., Sunday. With Mr. Sutter were his wife and two children and Mrs. H. H. DeClerque, and two chil- dren, of 861 Prospect avenue, Win- netka. Mr. Sutter said he was traveling about thirty miles an hour when he saw the "runaway wheel" hurtled from an approaching car, coming down grade a few hundred yards away. The wheel was keeping well to the center of the road and followed a straight path. This enabled Mr. Sutter to steer his car quickly to the apron siding of the road, which, at the point of turning off the pavement, was wide and level. A few feet further, how- ever, the apron narrowed and there was a ditch. This was what caused the wreck. The substantially built top of his car supported the engine and ma- chinery parts of the machine, a fact that prevented the occupants from be- ing literally crushed in the wreckage. North Shore Youth Wins Honors in Archery Meet In the two-day archery tournament of the state of Illinois and midwestern states held at Washington park, Chi- cago, July 28 and 29, Lowell Comee, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Comee of 1612 Forest avenue, Wilmette, won the junior championship medal and three trophies in various contests. He will enter the national contest August 21 at Westchester-Biltmore, Rye, N. Y. ATTIC SPACE IS HELPFUL Provision for future rooms in the attic provides against future shortage of space. There are a number of ex- cellent disappearing types of stair- ways now available which can be easily installed and which are not ex- pensive. Families that seem stationary in size often find themselves unex- pectedly enlarged. An aged relative is taken into the household. Or some uncle or aunt comes to town and wants a home. Or perhaps it becomes advisable for financial reasons to take a boarder. If the attic is so planned that it can be easily finished off, the problem of extra space is solved with- out being forced to the expense of adding an extra wing on the house. TWO CAR GARAGE : A two car garage is never a wasted" investment, even though the family building it may never rise to owning two cars. The second half of the garage may either be rented, and become an income producing asset, or its space may be used to store articles of all kinds. Or again, by erecting a slight wall board partition, the unused half may be converted into play space for the children. If the children are half grown, work benches and tools and other paraphernalia used in the practice of manual arts may be kept here. If heavy rafters are provided, trapezes and adjustable rings may be hung and a veritable gymnasium af- forded to the family.
