Here, careful design gives it the splendor of a parlor. Stained Douglas fir beams, hemlock ceiling decking and wall paneling are continued from inside of home into the carport, and decorative screen at front hides car from view by visitors. Cabinets built into wall provide storage for gar den tools,' sporting equipment and tricycles. Carport Answer To Much ftae Storag Fence Adds Privacy, Beauty Although garages wore original ly designed and built as shelters for the products of Detroit, home owners quickly found them useful fur everything under the sun, and soon had them looking like an out side addition to Fibber McGee': fumed closet. Everything from steamer trunks and Christmas tree decorations to the garden hose was dumped in the garage, and, as often as not, the whole thing ended with the garage in a mess and the old bus being left out in the cold. Homeowners still think the gar age is the greatest storage place on the lot, but architects are a jump ahead of them these days, for they are designing carports built to take it. Whole walls of the carport are lilted with built-in cabinets and shelving to provide housing for garden tools and the kids' bicycles. Sometimes freestanding cabin ets, specifically designed for sport ing equipment,' are provided and serve double duty as half-wall di viders. There are even ingenious householders who hang cabinets which are built to fit over the hood of the car so that every inch of potential storage space is utilised. These can readily be built of easy-to-work softwoods such as Douglas fir or U'est Coast hem lock. Of course, the main idea is to keep storage neat, in place, and to leave ample room for the family cars. The modern carport has become quite palatial looking, too. Builders and homeowners alike have found that a carport can add a Ureal deal of curb appeal to a home, and design for this mem ber of the house is given a much consideration as the parlor. Gone is the dark, dank interior of the early garage, and in its THE t'OVKK Summertime is spring time at Crater Lake National Park.

One popular ruse employed to em .hellish tiiis utilitarian area is to bring the siding of the house into the carport as wall paneling, and tongue-and-groove boards of rough sawn West Coast hemlock are an especial favorite because of hem lock's clean, sunny coloring and easy upkeep. Giant Douglas fir beams, used for the roof support of the main house, are continued through the walls to support the carport roof, and even ceiling decking, a luxury touch in a house interior, is used in the carport and prized for its low upkeep and sleek appearance At the end of the carport oppo site the car entrance, a decorative screen is often, installed in lieu of a solid wall. This is done to keep the carport as light and airy as Spaniard Traces Alaska To Spain JKRKZ DK LA FROXTERA, Spain tl'PI Jose Rivera Gon zalez, an amateur lexicologist says he believes that Alaska is named after Andalusia in south ern Spain. Senor Gonzalez makes barrels lor the storage of sherry in the many famed bodegas in this city. As a hobby, he likes to trace the origin of geographic names. As to Alaska, he points out that 'us word was the Russian way of saying Aleut i;m. the original hskimo name for both the Aleu dan Islands and the mainland of the 4!Hh state. "Where did they get this word Aleutian? he asks. I think the Kskimos heard some early Span ish traveler describe Andalusia as the paradise it is known to be and then the Lkimos decided to take the name for their own land. So really we should speak of the Andalusian islands, not the Aleu tian llands, Andalusia not Alas ka." KKGl'I.AR OFFICER SIOl'X FALLS. S. D. (ITU Albert J.

Food Buying Heblfs In US Show Change OREGON STATE COLLEGE Food shopping habits of today's wage - earning women show a greater demand for prepared and semi-prepared foods, more pro cessed fruits and vegetables, and low-calorie foods. National shopping trends, as re ported by Oregon State College food marketing specialists, show the following changes. During the past 13 to 20 years, families have been eating less fresh, and more frozen and pro cessed fruits. Frozen concentrated juice sales have increased greatly. The trend has also been toward more processed vegetables and somewhat fewer fresh vegetables. However, many fresh vegetables are convenience foods because they are trimmed; washed and packaged, the economists note M;iny are available year around Wage-earning homemakers are likely to shop either for processed vegetables that require little cook ing or heating, or for vegetables suited to quick salads. They want time and worksaving foods that can be served in a jiffy soon af ter the woman returns from work. Shoppers are also more health and weight conscious, and choose items considered low in calories. The OSC specialists report that one in three persons employed now is a woman. In January, about 21 pillion women were employed out side the home compared to only 12 million in 140. In about this same period, processing of vege tables increased from a third to a half the total supply of fruits and vegetables, particularly frozen ones. Because of their higher earn ings, shoppers are able to pay for conmiience and out of season ioods, they point out. Anchovies, Wine. Bathtubs Sailed Along With Caesar By H. V. MacLENNON United Press Staff Correspondent ROME (UPI) When Julius Caesar's army went to sea, it ate salted anchovies and oil -preserved tuna, and the officers took along their bathtubs. i j Terracotta jars and bathtubs from the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea have revealed these facts to scientists. The jars and tubs, as well as. many other curious ob jects, were found recently in a number of wrecked Roman ships on the seabeds off Corsica and Sardinia and the coasts of Liguria and Salerno. j It was believed that these oar and sail boats date back to the first century before Christ, during the reign of Julius Caesar, and were used by him for quick trans port to the conquered lands of trance and England. None of these wrecked Roman ships have been brought to the surface- for they are rotted and are almost completely buried in thick, clinging sand. A few fragments recovered from several ships found off Albenga on I he Ligurian coast suggest that they were about 70 feet long with a double bridge. They were made of oak and pine and sheathed with lead. ' j Much of the ships' cargoes, how ever, have been fairly easily 're-1 covered. Many of the amphoras. or terracotta jars, were found intact and contained residues of spiced salted anchovies or tuna preserved: in olive oil. Other jars were filled! with a wheat -flour or wine. There were also a number containing a kind of fish sauce called garum. Garum was made of several species of fish cut up into small pieces and, together with most of their insides, put into a receptacle which was exposed to the sun. This broth-like mixture was then stirred until it fermented. It was then filtered and the resulting, and ac tually nauseating liquid, was called garum. It was used as a condi ment for many meals and fish in ancivnt times. . Experts who studied some of the Albenga shipwrecks said there were about 3.000 wine amphoras in a single ship's cargo and that each of the amphoras contaned 20 liters (five gallons) of wine. After nearly 2.000 years the wine had retained only a slight pinkish col-1 or, no longer alcoholic. It had a: watery taste but was not salty. These ancient wine jars had long, narrow necks and were' sealed with flat cork or clay stop-1 Tomatoes Ripen Sest At Coo! OREGON STATE COLLEGE- Ripen tomatoes at cool room tem- neratures.

Oreeon State Col lege food marketing specialist. says the old-time practice of ripen ing tomatoes on sunny warm win dow sills does more harm than good. Heat turns tomatoes yellow For best color, flavor and tex ture, and vitamin value tomatoes should be ripened at room temper ature or a little below, between 60 and 75 degrees, she recommends To ripen, tomatoes should be mature, grown to their full size and just ready to turn color. Good quality mature green tomatoes or parti jlly ripened tomatoes are better buys than red tomatoes that are overripe, soft or bruised, ac cording to Miss Reigle. Once ripe, tomatoes keep bet tor in the refrigerator. If ripened in the refrigerator, they become pale, watery, soft and lack flavor. Never wrap tomatoes with paper to keep them dark.

There was also written on each of the stoppers in the form of a crude stamp-seal, the age, quality and name of the producer of the wine in the jars and where it came from. Much of it came from wine-growers of the Cam pania in the south of Italy. Not all the amphoras were made of terracotta. Some were made of bronze and others of alabaster or glass. One of ,the surprises of these discoveries was the finding of ter racotta bathtubs in the ship wrecks. There were usually two or three to each ship and made in the form of a large wooden shoe. They measured about three feet long and about two feet wide and only fresh water was used in them. paint floors defy wear USE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS FOHCH & FLOOD Tills uper-tough enamet will bring outstanding beauty to any palntable floor . . . wood or concrete. , Use it Indoors or outdoors.
