First analyze your rocm something like this: Is the room dark or light? If a dark room, you will want to introduce warmth and life through colour. Light, warm colours make a Gdark room Red, crange, yellow, rust chad>s are warm colours; blue, green ind gray are cool, Let warm colours redominate in a room that lacks sunâ€" the who‘e room out of proportion. In the selectiom of wall coverings there is an imaginative and interesting variety from wirch to choose. There are abstract plaids and cheorfu stripes, droll zoo animals, fresh farmyard szenes and comic characters on texturâ€" ed or plain back grounds that will deâ€" light any child‘s imagination. Many house kudgets, however, will not stand the extra room simâ€" ply to play and the child‘s play room must share space. One practical soluâ€" tion is to make the dining room larger and make it serve as both dining room and child‘s play space. Because thre dlining room is the least used room in the house and because it affords the kitchen worker a chance for easy superâ€" vision, it ssgems a fine solutiom to the problem in many smaller homes. Plans should, of course, be made for the bedrsoms of the children, for as they grow older they are going to reâ€" quire s>parate sleeping rooms. In many smaller houses, attics are so planned that they can be made into attractive slseping quarters at a minimum of rouble or expense whiuen the need arises. When you plan yciur house think too about a suitable outdoor area in which your children can play. Have it, if possible, within sight of the kitchen and as secluded as you can. Perhaps a fenc» could be placed around the area, which would add to the exterior beauty of your home, as well as to its racticability.

It was more or less by accident that it has been fcund possible to secure outstanding results by the open vat treatment. Experiments were beâ€" ing conducted with a new formula and the fluid was kept in wocden casks. It was noticc:d that the floor around these casks was continually wet. At first it was thought that the casks were leakâ€" ing, or that some of the liquid had been spitled. But the floor continued wet, and investigation disclosed the fact that the fireprosofing preparation was :¢cming rizht thrciugh the wood! Careful tests followed, and now it has been demonstrated that a f2w hours treatment in an open vat gives results equal to superior to pressure penetraâ€" tion at a fraction of the cost. dpen alr drying aftar treatmnt is all that is required,. and in any favourable drying Overceming Obstacles UnSfortunately, danger from fire has a sz2rious obstacle to its more genâ€" eral us2, althougwh, as a matter of fact, firs losses in sections where wood is the principal building material used do not suffer by comparison with districts where its use is more or lass incidental.
