LITTLE BOYS need room to
stretch their legs. Wheft two
young lads share a room there
is no reason why they should
stumble over esch other and,

the room ship - shape. Little
shavers who play with mud, in

act like Little Lord Fontleroys
when they cross the threshold
to their bedroom.
Smart and considerate moth

" fabrics in plaid stripe or anoth

uid window draperies. They'll
put inexpensive fiber rugs on
the floors, and use sturdy but

Bunk beds" are ideal space
avers for a boys' room. Cord
uroy in masculine color scheme
such as plaid in shades of brown
on a maize ground, teamed with '
maize .curtains that match the
background color of the spread
are typical of toe handsome
combinations that can be tail

widths of 36-inch corduroy in a ;

or both can be tucked in. j
Seam the lengths together,

to go. Pin the fringe in placet
so that it outlines the edge ofx
the mattress. Mark' locations for

Light, Tiry designs in lamps
come forward this year and al

elegant in the modern two-and-three-bulb
type. And ceramics
still play an important part in
beautiful lamps. x .
Brass is predominant as lamp
fashion material. Pin up lamps
now come in more handsome edi

lamps still employ crystal and
ceramic, but are newly less ela-.

When the desired comfort in

system is needed.
Air conditioners are I available

Sizes of air conditioners are
generally given in terms of "tons
of cooling capacity", a one-ton
capacity being the equivalent to
the melting of one ton of ice per
day. ' "
For residential use, common
sizes of central cooling units
range from IVi to 5 tons and
utilize motors from IV to 5-HP.
Both gas and electric models are
available. These units connect
with the furnace and circulate air
throughout the entire house.
For homes where it is impos
sible to install conditioners with
the furnace, smaller units are
available. Window-type, console
type and attic fans are very pop
ular. YouH be sure to find just the
right air conditioner to suit your
needs and your budget in this

Aside from the beauty that fresh

color is desired. Then, three coats
are needed.,
Cracks and blisters should be
scraped down with a putty knife,
then sanded before any painting is
done.

costs, fewer new homes are being
constructed with attic space. But,
many thousands of home-owners
do have the problem 'of idle, clut
tered attics going needlessl. to
waste.
The job of remodelirs an old
attic into a small apartment, bed
room or recreation room, need
not be either expensive or compli

Job is that .only basic
cajpenter tools are needed. Most
attics have exposed, wall (tads,
ceiling rafters and a rough floor,
thus eliminating all framework
construction. ,
: Large panels of inexpensive,
sturdy plywood, wallboard, fiber
board or insulating ceiling and
wall- planking are all easy .mate

then plan your add-on room from
this angle. j

age units for' everything from

The prime consideration for out

it is being done is the selection
of a good quality paint ' carefully
and properly applied.

erials will pay for itself by pre
serving the wood for many years.
