On a Proper Footing
New Floors Require Right Kind
Of Care for Best Looks, Wear
By MXINE BUREN !
SUtcsraaa Woman's Editor j
Keeping up with the loneses is a simply matter next to
maintaining a speaking acquaintance with all the wonderful
new things the scientists bre producing for !the benefit and
mystification of the moderh housewife.
Just how one launders the many newj and wonderful
fabrics rayon, nylon, orloji and dacron is but one problem.
How, for that matter, to iet the most out of the new soaps
and detergents, and when to use what and when not to.
! Another problem whjch faces the modern housewife,
brought on by the ever-active scientists, is how to care for
floors. For jnodern homes (may have anything from linoleum,
wood, asphalt, rubber, teitazzo or cement. Some waxes and
dressings are for one but taboo for another,
BOOKLET TELLS
; A booklet which camejto my desk recently, was published
by a well known floor dressing manufacturer; but gives some
excellent advice on care of modern floors.
Here are some excerpts lor your edification:
Asphalt Tile use a so-called self polishing wax which
contains no solvent The wax with solvent has a noticeable
odor and. requires polishing to shine. Self-pplishing wax has
little or no odor. j !
If wrong wax; is used, asphalt or rubber tile colors may
run. Spilled grease or dusting with an oil mop may also make
the colors run and sometimes causes surfaces to soften.
Ceramic tile, brick, slate or flagstone heed little or no
protection. If flooring has a non-porous surface, polish to make
more attractive and easy to keep clean. j
Cork a soft porous covering, which should be sealed before
coating with hard wax. Use a penetrating floor sealer recom
mended by a reliable floor or paint man.
Linoleum use any good floor wax.
Rubber tile treated the same as asphalt Use only a self-
polishing hard type polish. j
Vinyl Plastic a new? and tough flooring with great re
sistance to stains. A hard self-polishing wax or good paste will
give it a coating which will help retain its beauty. It is some
times difficult to spread wax evenly on new

De Kept weu waxea. a paste wax is excellent n one has an
electric polisher, the self-polishing kind wilt save labor if no
waxer is available. The Wood floors must be treated before
waxing with sealer and Varnish. j

Further information is contained in the booklet which
may be of assistance to those who are unfamiliar with intri
cacies of caring for floori.
Itjs always necessar to rinse a floor before waxing. No
cleaning preparation is made that does not require a rinsing
of water before rewaxingJ
Water spots j sometimes come from traces of unremoved
soap or detergent Wipe Spilled liquids off as soon as possible
to keep wax surface intatt. Sometimes traces of a cleaner left
on floor also cause water spots.

Multnomah
Conviction
The conviction of E. J. Vaughn,
Multnomah County, on a charge
of assault while armed with a
dangerous weapon, was upheld by
the State Supreme Court Wednes
day in an opinion written by Jus
tice William C. Perry.
Circuit Judge E. K. Oppenheim-
er presided at the trial.
The jury, during its delibera
tions, asked the trial judge to re
define the term "feloniously and
to read excerpts from the testimo
ny. Appeal to the supreme court
was based on refusal of the judge
to comply with the request.
Justice Perry held that compli
ance with the jury's request was
discretionary with the trial judge
and that since it did not appear
that! the defendant was prejudiced
by such failure there appeared no
abuse of discretion by the court.
Appeal was dismissed in the
case of Luola Bengston vs. Oscar
Berigston, from Jackson County
The court record showed that no
undertaking had been served and
filed and that no transcript on ap

Bureau's iPotawatomi area field

McKay said the legislation was
drafted under a resolution adopted
by the House last year.
The bills Vary greatly in detail
but all provide for eventual ter
mination I of federal trusteeship
over Indian property and would
make the Indians subject to the

same ieaerai ana siaie laws as
other citizens.
McKay figured the 10 termination
bills cover more than 66,000 Indi
ans in 10 states, or roughly one
seventh of the Indian population
as estimated; by the Indian Bureau.
He said that under the bills,
federal responsibilities for special
services to :the Indians, such as
roads, health and education, also
would be, terminated.
"Ample time is allowed, how
ever, for the completion of arrange
ments under which the Indians
would receive customary services
from state jand local agencies on
the samel basis as other citizens,"
he added. ;
He also 'said they all contain
provisions designed to protect the
interests of j minors, incompetents,
and other individual Indians who
will need jsuch protection after
termination iof federal trusteeship.
