Pleasant Guest

Comfort Lends
Hearty Welcome
The guest room in the average
household is often so neglected
that it actually defeats its purpose
that ot making a guest feel "at
home."
With a little ingenuity and
thoughtfulness, however, you can
make even the tiniest guest room
comfortable enough to tell your
guest at a glance that he or she
is really welcome.
' A combination dressing-writing
table is a suggestion that will save
space and add to the room s con
venience.
An ordinary table with one cen
ter drawer is ideal for this sort
of dual-purpose unit. The table
should be two feet by four feet in
size and 30 inches high.
Add a wall mirror with lamps
on either side, a ruffled skirt to
match the draperies or bedspread,
and a chair or stool high enough
for comfortable writing. The bot
tom edge of the lamp shades
should be at least 14 inches from
the table top to insure sufficient
illumination'.
Writing supplies may be kept
in the drawer of the table. These
should include paper and enve
lopes, ink, good quality fountain
pen or ballpoint, stamps, and
blotter. Metal c

Architect Claims Grass Roof
Superior for Modern House
Architects have shocked peo
ple before with some of their
notions and have subsequently
been proved right by them. Now
comes New England's architect
Royal Barry Wills with new
ideas.
Talking to a group of women
in Boston this week he suggested
sod roofs for houses lawns, in
other words, instead of roofs.
"People don't think about
roofs when they build houses,"
said Wills, "but they should.
Present day roofs are lacking in
individualities.
"Attractive, Inexpensive"
"Roofs are important in the
appearance of a house, particu
larly these new houses with roof
close to the ground. An attrac
tive, utilitarian and inexpensive
roof is sod. This is used in many
Styles Created
For Furniture
CHICAGO (U.R) The Ameri
can family that buys furniture in
1952 will have more new styles to
choose from than ever before in
the last 10 years, but some dealers
said prices won't be any higher
than in 1951.
The wide variety of new styles
especially for homes where the
accent is on modern lines and
the possible leveling of furniture
prices was revealed at an interna
tional home furnishings market
last week in Chicago.
A total of 2439 furniture makers
arranged samples to show buyers
from stores across the nation.
Wallace O. Oilman, general
manager of the mart, said the ex
hibits have more to offer in quali
ty and variety than in any year
since Pearl Harbor without any
evidence of a boost in price over
last year.
Here s what Mr. and Mrs. Amer
ica found:
The radical lines of the ultra
modern furniture have been soft
ened and have taken on new dig
nity by borrowing from tradition
al lines.
The provincial and period styles
have been pepped up with a free
use of new harmonies of wrought
iron, marble, tile, glass and wood
combinations and with contempo
rary designs in draperies and up
holstery. More Bachelors
Than Old Maids
There ' are more bacheolrs
than old maids despite an In
creasing . marriage rate. Only
19 per cent of tile females over
14 years of age are single com
pared with 28 per cent In 1940
and 34 per cent In 1390. About
26 per vent of the males over
11 are single now, compared
with 35 per cent in 1940 and
44 per cent In 1890.
NO TANK RUST
You have luxuriously
clean hot water with a

"Such a roof is particularly
applicable on the low pitched
roofs of today's ranch houses, or
on flat roofs or one-way pitch
roofs. These roofs ordinarily are
covered with an asphalt felt
paper and are lacking in in
spiration, to say the least.
"Compare this type of roof
with a field of daisies or even
dandelions growing overhead
and you can see the added
beauty given by the sod. These
roofs of sod have the luxuriant
appearance of thatch.
Rich Appearance
"Sod roofs are also inexpen
sive to build, since all it is ne
cessary to do is to cover the roof
with a low grade of tar paper
and then apply the sod. Sods
give a rich appearance in all
seasons of the year.
"In winter, the insulating
value is very great and such a
house may be heated for a rela
tively insignificant sum because
there could be no heat waste
with a sod roof and a foot or
two of snow on the sod."
All architect Wills failed to
explain is how to cut the grass.
Method Explained
For Fireproofing Cloth
Cotton and rayon fabrics in
cluding adult clothing, curtains
and drapes can be flameproofed
cheaply and easily at home with
a solution made by dissolving
nine ounces of borax and four
ounces of boric acid in a gallon
of water.
Dip clothing and fabrics in this
solution. The fire-proofing mix
ture is safe to use on any material
which can be soaked in water.
Reapply the solution each time
the article is washed.

WHAT'S NEW
with
NEIL & GERRY
Lamps and decorative acces
sories complete the furnishing
of a room. The day when a
lamp was an inconspicuous
nonentity in a room has passed.
A cycle has been completed,
and we are again1 entering a
period when the lamps in a
room are some of the finest and
most important accessories.
Nothing can make or mar a
color scheme more easily than
lamps. Nothing can rob a room
of the necessary comfort and
cheer more easily than poor and
inadequate light from a poor
and inadequate lamp.
There are over a thousand
companies manufacturing lamps
in this country today. Many of
them are making a product that
is good in design, color and
light-giving qualities. Some are
good in one or two respects and
not in others. Many companies
are making lamps that are poor
in every respect. .
We feel that we are obligated
to see and try out as many of
these lamps as we have access
to, in order that we can pre
sent to our customers the best
for the price they wish to pay,
Wa have in stock lamps from
many companies. We have cata
logues and photographs from
many others. There are a great
many we know nothing about,
but' our customers may be sure
at NEIL & GERRY'S a sincere
effort will be made to provide
the proper lamp for a given
situation. Come to 1760 West
11th Avenue, Eugene. Open 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. Evenings by appointment.
