On the canal aide of the build

dressing rooms. There aro ample
rooms to s nu re both teams of
enough spuce. to ho comfortable.
A corridor runs around the
aides of tho gym which connects
the dossing rooms with the main
hall. The auto mechanics shop
Is a large, airy room nt Iho bnck
of tho building with lots of win
dows and enough floor spuce for
many cars lo be In tho shop nt

old shop will be had in that they
have a floor pit in tho now ono.
Crawling under a car la no run
but with a pit It Is a cinch to
get the work done much nioro
quickly and easily.
Wldo and apaclous steps have
been built on the front of the
now addition and wldo doora will

A largo lobby occupies tho front
of tho hall with tho (Mors to tbe

way baa been built to connect
tho main building with tho gym
to eliminate sloppy going In win

cleanod and prepared for nvxt

base board cleaned. Hoverul of
the rooma have been enlarged
and more seining apaco provided
for. The largo doors at tbo main
entrance have been widened and
cleared out to allow for more
apace here. Tho. cafeteria and
all manual arta rooma have been
gone over and put Into first class
shape.
An added safety feature of the
school are large fire doors to
block oft the doors leading from
tho orchestra stand to tho main
hull of tho gym. Those doors,
mndo of heavy motnl, slide down
and shut oft the passagoway thus
lessoning the danger of fire
spreading through the building.
All the rooma In tho now addi
tion aro especially nice because
of the number of windows In
then). Walls In the rooma seomed
to be literally lined with glass
and lota of air and light are thus
provided for.

Storage Space
How good a string saver are
you? Do you save It neatly? And
how about the rest of the bottles,
boxes, sacks and bags stored away
around the house-is it all neat
and in order? Can you, at a mo
ment's notice, lay hand on that
pretty box you aaved for Cousin
Mamie's birthday present?
And aside from any briefs we
might hold for tidiness, there's a
little matter of fire hazard. H'a
really dangerous to let odds and
ends accumulate haphazardly in
storage space. Oil rags in the
broom closet, for Instance. Ba
sure they're hanging on a hook
and In their proper place, not
wadded up in a ball on the floor.
The same thing goes for the shoe
cleaning equipment . . . and for
painting equipment . . . for Sum
mer toys in the Winter, and vice
versa ... for all those items which
are not used every day.
Why not start with the broom
closet? Clear out all the stuff and
pile it on newspapers on the floor.
Then prepare to paint it from
stem to stern. Sweep the cob
webs off shelves, walla and floors.
While you're about it, take off
any remaining dirt with soap and
water, because you might aa well
do a thorough job. Then, give the
entire closet a coat of washable
gloss enamel in a light color
white, ivory or cream-so it will
be easier to see what you want.
Before you start putting back,
take stock. Toss out empty cans,
boxes and bottles-unless they're
really useful as permanent con
tainers, and line up the remain
ing prorations neatly.
Exactly the same procedure
should hold true for the cluttered
closets in attic, bedrooms, halls
and cellar. Give them a coat of
good, washable enamel ... It
dries quickly, so you can have
everything back In place in no
time.
It's an awfully comfortable
feeling to know that the hidden
places in the house are as neat as
the front halt

NEW FAUCET
An innovation In self-dosing
faucets la a new us:; which can
be adjusted so aa to retard or
hasten tbe closing of the faucet,
snys tho plumbing and heating
Industries bureau. After the
metal push-button on top of the
faucet baa been depressed, the
faucet closes slowly to deliver a
mensured quantity ot water, vary
ing from a momentary spurt to
U gallons, depending on the set
ting of a controlling atop previ
ously Installed In the supply line.
All parts subject to wear are re
newable.
Schools have taken over most
of the duties ot character de
velopment that rightfully belong
in the home. Sanford Bates, ex
