Many a bouse has been modero-
!SL with paint brush
i indeled, to all appearances, by
fiing the trick of color. But you
cm achieve even greater magic
with tome of the new designs in
wallpaper.
You caa make aa attic room
nc like a palio or gardea ter
race. There are wallpaper pat
terns that are cure-alls lor the
"loping walls of aa attic or tor
a room without a view. These
' V-signs tend to push back walls
that aeem to, crowd down upon
;ou ana iney can bide architec
tural shapes that are ugly ta them
selves.
Ta disguise structural jogs and
irregularities in an apartment or
rr-moof iea rooms up under a roof,
cover the defects with one of the
fibric type bamboo or brick de
igned papers. The wallpaper
won t eliminate the Jog. but It will
make it aeem ta fade away In the
general scheme of the room.
wrought iron grille work de-
iirhs ar among the unusual new
patterns available. When this is
used to cover a door a dramatic
accent can be added to the room
Or if you prefer to obliterate the
door, cover it with the same wall
paper as used on the walls. This
wiu make the room seem larger.
Aaother Trick
The use of two wallpapers can
separate the living dining areas
of one room, or disguise the
kitchen area in open planning.
Ona way to transform an or
dinary dining area into a color
ful garden setting is to make your
own wallpaper mural by cutting
out and pasting ivy leaves in
trellis lashioa on a background of
one patterned wallpaper.
Modem wallpapers can do much
mora than Just cover a wall. Their
colors, textures and durable fin
ishes help create almost any ef-
leci oesirea. Some elaborate
papers come in embossed form
simulating stone work so closely
you will feel of It to tell the dif
ference. For a made-to-order view for
a room that has no outlook, pick
one of the garden scene or per
spective mural type wallpapers.

Wiring
Probl
em
Eight out of ever in houses
oo not have enough electrical
- wiring to meet the need of the
electrical appliances an average
family buys and uses today.
Thia is the verdict of experts
called upon to explain why ap
pliances do not work at their!
iea eiuciency in such homes.
Without adequate erlrin yoi An
not get the electricity you are j
ymfing tor oecausa oi the loss of
efficiency through lack of power.
Toaster take longer to heat, mo
tors run slower, lights ra dim
mer. Many older homes are wired
for JO amperes at 120 volts
which supplies at most 3,800
watts. This may be enough for
lighting alone, but not for heavy
duty appliances. An adequate
modern wiring system is consid
ered to be 100 amperes at 240
volts, but even this may not be
enough if you plsn to install
electrical house heating or air
conditioning of several rooms.
Ftgare Ymut Owa Lead
You can figure about -how
much power you need for an ap
pliance by reading the wattage
marked on k. If it is a room
heater rated at 1,200 watt and
you know you have 120 volts in -your
bouse wiring, the heater
will be using 10 amperes. Volts ,
multiplied by amperes equals
watts.
So if your house is wired for
only 30 amperes, a third of your
full power load will be going
into that one appliance.
Here is a list of 35 common
household electrical devices and
their average watting ratings.
The American Builder, trade
publication, which compiled this
list, explsin that these are typ
ical wattages and they may vary
with different makes. If an ap
pliance is rated in horsepower,
figure one horsepower equals
1,000 watts.

Sliding Doors
Use Moldings
For Grooves
Sliding doors for cabinets can be
an easy project for a home handy
man if he uses this simple mold
ing trick.
Instead of cutting slot with
power tools to provide grooves for
the doors, strips of quarterround '
will fill the bill. No tracks or;
runners are needed for cabinet
doors.. An allowance for a little
play and thorough waxing of top
and bottom edges will insure easy
operation. i
Quarter-Inch fir plywood Is an
ideal material for making these
doors. It can be sanded and fin
ished In virtually any effect de-j
sired. Color stain and wax can
be used ' for various natural fin-,
ishes, or high glosses in color can
be obtained by spray painting. I
After the doors are made to fit.

separate the doors is glued into
place and nailed with brads. The
second door is then installed and
the outer stop of quarter-round is
likewise glued and nailed. Brad
holes are thea filled with wood !
filler and the outer molding i
touched up to conceal them.
Don't forget to put the doors;
in place before adding a molding i
atop. Having the doors and mold-1

is prudent A little touching up to
conceal countersunk ' brad beads ,

Hardwood floors normally should
never be cleaned with water, says
the Maple Flooring Manufacturers
Assn. Dust clean them with a soft
brush, dry mop or cloth. -
If the floor is soiled or spot
stained, rub it with a mop or cloth
moistened slightly with penetrat
ing sealer, turpentine or furniture
polish. This treatment is especially
effective on tight-grained hard
wood such as maple and birch.
