Proper Fitting Flashing Can Be Trouble Saver When paint has a tendency to peel in the frame areas sur rounding windows, the source of the trouble may often be traced to leaks that result from flashing that was improperly applied or flashing that has deteriorated. Poorly fitted boards around the window are another cause. Flash ings that are, preferably, of non-1 ferrous metal, should be included at the top of windows an doors. Flashing at the bottom of window offers added protection. The head flashing should extend from the sheathing under the building paper out to and over the drip cap of the window or door. When flashing is used at the bottom of a window, it should extend from the window stool outward and under the win dow sill and should end up un der the top course of clapboard.

It should not be difficult to decide that. The harvest of carrots from a single sowing will last in top condition at least eight weeks. A row of carrots two feet long will provide an ample serving for the average family. So a first sowing of carrots 32 feet long will provide 16 servings, two per week. This should be followed by a second sowing, timed to mature when the first crop has been har vested; and three sowings should see you through the season, so far as table use is concerned. If you will estimate the nunv bef of family servings each week of all short-harvest vegetables, you can figure out the number of sowings, and the length of row for each. Data on days to table size is given in most seed catalogues for every vegetable variety. Early varieties of lettuce will be ready m 40 days; while late head let tuce may take 90 days to mature. By sowing early and late vane- ties at the same time, you can have a longer harvest. This may be advisable for sweet corn, be cause late varieties do better in late summer and early fall weather. But this practice re quires more space, since the slow maturing varieties occupy soil which could be used for some thing else, if a succession of quick growing crops were sown. Peas, lettuce, radishes and spinach will not do well in July and early August, so do not plant these crops to yield in hot weather, but sow them for early summer and fall harvests only. Do not follow a leaf crop, seed crop, or root crop with one of the same class; but use a different type, to avoid disease and soil ex haustion. Before sowing a second crop, dig up the soil and apply plant food again, 2 pounds to 100 square feet, or 100 feet of row.

First, apply a solid-color coat of floor enamel and allow it to dry thoroughly. To this base color you can add a variety of stippled or spatter effects that en- able you to introduce other colors at the same time that you create a textured-look that makes foot marks less noticeable. Spattered effects are gained by striking the metal brand on paint-filled brush against a stick held in the left hand. Stippling is done with a sponge. By using masking tape, you can paint stripes or even wide bands on your linoleum. You press two strips of tape in place across the floor and paint between the strips. when the paint is thoroughly dry, lift off the tape and wax the floor. BRING THE OUTDOORS INDOORS with light and shadow. Consider the possibilities of spot lighting a picture or two. As shown on the lowe r left, trim aluminium holders conceal R-30 75 watt spot bulbs. Try using them for interesting shadow patterns from plants or aim them at favorite picture as shown at the upper right to bring out the natural colorings the artist tried to capture in his painting. Another modern way to get plenty of light on pictures is to hang a lighted wall bracket above them as shown in the photogr aph on the lower right. This bracket conceals a long line of fluorescent light as sketched at the lower left. In addition to lighting the pictures on the wall, notice how tho wall bracket gives soft amounts of light on the wall as well as on the pic tures, Pictures are hung tight to the wall by using short taut wires. Frames are beveled toward the wall to prevent casting shadows on the wall. Spring a seasonal surprise on your family by starting right now to rejuvenate your winter-weary rooms. No need to wait until spring housecleaning gets in full swing. You can do the trick in a half hour by rearranging the pic tures in your living or dining room to create a new center of interest. Use pictures in massed ar rangements or grouping to give added importance to your lighter-scaled or smaller pieces of furniture. Arrange the pictures on the wall above, and close to the piece of furniture that is to be highlighted. Keep the pictures close together whether they are in a row or a square or rectang ular grouping. You may wish to add some new pictures to achieve the desired effect. Try to repeat some of the accent colors in the room in the mats or frames of the pictures. The originality with which pic tures can be used not only in the living room, but in any room in the house, is an evidence of their decorative importance. For pic tures, more than any other decor ative item, give a room individu- Vacuum Cleaner Instructions Helpful In Storing Woolens Before you know it, the time will be here to stow away winter wearable, woolen blankets and other articles subject to damage by moths.

Other accessories, such as vases, sculpture, ash trays and lamps are important too, but if the walls are bare, the interior has a cold and univiting aspect, no matter how handsome the furnishings. No home today needs ever to be without the inspiration of fine pictures, for there are excellent reproductions of good art, both modern and traditional, in your stores, all suitably framed and offered in a price range to fit any pocketbook. When shopping for pictures choose those which mean some' thing to your personally. Do not select just "pretty" pictures that have no special appeal, but rath er chose those related to your interests.
