Lady Mechanic Prerequisites for Good Homemaker Nowi Includes Ability as Mechanic By Maxme Boren Statessaaat WMtu'i Kilter "Is she a good mechanic" may be one of the questions a man of today must consider in choosing a bride, along with the age old question "Is she a good cook?". It takes a good mechanic to be a good homemaker these days of electrical gadgets designed to ' make housekeeping easier. For the family's welfare and comfort, for the sake of keeping the household equipment in good running order, a wife must know something about electricity, plumbing and heating. The hand that rocks the cradle, must also run the . washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner and sewing machine-If that hand, and the woman who owns it has a husband who will drop everything and rush home when a fuse plug blows, the vacuum t cleaner picks up a foreign object too large to digest, or the furn ace turns off prematurely, she doesn't need to worry. But the great majority of men find home mechanics irksome, and even the best electricians allow light cords to wear out or machines cry for minor repairs. , i Among the college courses preparing a woman for married life there should be Instruction In fundamentals of electricity and plumbing. More women than get credit, have considerable knowl edge of mechanics. Many household tasks well done, prove that, A very little bit of training is needed to help the woman of the house to handle problems which come up during the course of the day. ' Knowing a bit about the mechanics of the equipment used, will help a woman make the most of her appliances too. Women, past the age of taking courses In school, should make it a point to know about the location of fuse plugs and size re- quired and they should follow the rules about them. A housewife should know the location of the master switch and should be well versed in the dangers of manipulation of anything electrical. Housewives should become familiar .with the water -shut-off, and if, as in many cases, it is too hard for her to turn, should see that it is put in easy working order. Women will profit by knowing something about the gas, if that's the heat they use. The public or state library will help in finding simple books on mechanims which will give a practical knowledge of home appliances. They might make for good reading for winter. 1 Shell be a walking Valentine in Margwen's Xj,?S Cf 1 crisp organdy Sweetheart dress by Sunny Togs C 1 of California.

That is a pro per base coat for paint or lacquer finish. -Fvn thouch Mrs. Smith the unpain ted furniture comes to you sanded, better check it for any rough spots. Next comes a coat of shellac or a good seal. The shellac seals and gives you a good foundation and seems to have an affinity for wood. It's particularly good at sealing knots. These knots, which are a characteristic of most of the pine used, exude a natural resin, which in time will discolor the Guests Bidden To Parties Two informal dinner parties are on the agenda for the coming weekend.

If you defide.on shellac, it makes no d ifference for that first priming coat whether you use the natural orange shellac or the bleached, the expert will tell you. But) a factor that does make a difference is its fresh ness. If you tea ve some on hand, don't use it if you've had it a year, for it j is perishable. Another warning that comes from the shellac industry in this country is -4 use it very, very thin. It's better to be too gen erous with the alcohol than to apply it too (thick. When It comes to the outer coat, use any1 good interior paint mat or gloss. The softer mat finish or semi-gloss is especially pleasing in its decorative effect. (CopyrU&t 1SS50.
