Home owners taking advantage of
the National Housing Act to mod
ernlre and repair their properties
should give due consideration to
floors. Too great care cannot be giv
en to the selection of materials and
workmanship In laying and finishing
this part of the bouse.
Generally speaking hardwood floors
are Intended to be finished to display
the natural beauty 'of the texture
and grain of the wood. A transparent
finish Is commonly used to permit
ihe natural beaui of hardwood to
remain visible, while in other cases
the floor Is stained to obtain desired
Interior decorative effects.
Softwood floors are sometimes giv
en a natural or stained finish to dis
play the patterns made by the alter
nating bands or spring wood and sum
merwood growth. Often softwood
floors are painted or covered with
carpets or used as a base floor for
other types of flooring materials.
Hunlwood Used
Among the hardwoods most com
monly used for flooring are wblte
oak, red oak, hard apple, birch and
beech. The ring-porous growth Of oak
gives beautiful textural and grain ef
fects in plain-sawed flooring while :
the "silver flakes" on the surface of
quarter-sawed white oak flooring are
highly prized for their beauty and
charming effects. !
Douglas fir, southern yellow pine, i
hemlock, white pine, pondosa pine, 1
and larch are among the most com- I
monly used softwoods used for floor- I
lng. The softwoods do not have tex- j
tural patterns of pores, as In the
case of oak, but derive their grain j
effect from the harder, denser sum
merwood which offers contrasting ef- !
fects with the lighter-colored and j
softer springwood. It Is the differ- I
ence In hardness between the sum- 1
merwood and springwood that makes ;
the edge or vertical grain softwood j
flooring preferred to plaln-sawcd
softwood flooring, especially where
the floor la subjected to hard usage. ;
Strip Floors Common
Strip flooring is the most common I
type of wood flooring. Hardwood
Utrip flooring usually has a narrow- i
jer face than In the case of softwood j
'florlng and Is side and end matched i
to make a sound, tight and strong !
floor. Softwood strip flooring Is side '
matched and is now available end i
matched. In addition, wood flooring
is available In different qualities or :
grades and of different prices so that ;
there Is a kind and quality sunaoie
for every degree of beauty, service
and "pocketbook."
Novelty wood floors are In com
mon use for those who wish varia
tions from strip flooring.

LESS UNSIGHTLY
The modern trend In decoration
has been felt In almost every part
of he home, but the old-fashioned
screen door Is generally left as a not
too sightly reminder of the days that
were. If, to enter a charmingly ap
i pointed home, one must pass through
an unsightly screen door, more thnn
half of the effect of the Interior is
lost on the guest. Certain decorators
have made a particular effort this
Spring to modernize this necessity to
comfort. Screen doors are suggested
with the lower half of thin wood and
the upper half wire netting, conform
ing, of course, to the general arcnl
tecture of the house. Others have n
fine latticework of wood,1 while still j
others effect a modern design with j
flht wooden pieces set In geometric I
fashion, wire netting forming the re
maining surface.
FIREPLACE POPULAR
Real-estate agents say that one of
the most frequently requested fea
tures when a prospective tenant
searches for either apartment or
house is a fireplace. Perhaps there is
a magical charm In the thought of
la family hearth. Surely from a purely
decorative point of view there are
few rooms that cannot be Improved
by the addition of a fireplace.
Made of brick or stone, depending
on the character of the room, it pre
sents a center about which to group
furniture. It frequently proves a
strictly practical feature as well, of
fering Just enough warmth to take
the chill out of the room when the
heat of a furnace would be too much.
SAFETY INSURED BY !
REWIRING RESIDENCE;
The Insulation on electric wires
laid under rugs receives conslderaole '
wear, and may break and result in a '
severe and dangerous fire. Such dan- i
ger can be largely eliminated by re- j
wiring the home to provide for a i
sufficient number of outlets for Ml
lighting and power accessories, in
cluding lamps, radio, toaster, and oth
V appUancea.
