GOOD KITCHEN FLOOR
COVERING SAVES LABOR

What is the best material for the
Kitchen floor. the most practical fihisl
and the most satisfactory covering are
questions much discussed. All house
wives agree. however, that the .unfin-
ished floor is hard to clean, and paint
ing, oiling or covering 1t with some
washable material saves much labor.
An unfinished wood floor requires fire.
quent serubbfngs, which. no matter how
thorough, cannot remove spots and
stains from some kinds of wood, and
cause the surface Of others to silver
and become rough.
Maple Is one OF the woods most used
for kitchen floors. II is smooth and
very durable and. when oiled. is proof
against grease and waterstains. Pine
and Douglas Ar or red spruce are other
desirable kinds and may be painted or
oiled. Any cracks in the floor should
be fflled with putty, or better. with one
OF the special preparations for the pur-
pose.
There are variety Of concrete and
so-called composition" floor materials
which now are on the market for use
in kitchens. They are often easy to
clean and do not absorb grease and
water when new. Some Of them, how
ever, tend to crack and chip with wear
and then are difficult to keep in order
Some are also rather hard and fatiguing

PLANNED THIS YEAR

The volume Of increases in build
ing permits issued throughout the
country in 1922 did not increase in
proportion to the value of the in
creases in buildings erected and plan
ned. thus indicating a universal tend
ency toward larger and moro costly
types of structures. Builders recog-
nize the changes which are taking
place in the standard OF living. IN
this country and are erecting struc-
lures to meet the changing require
ments of people generally.
These facts are revealed in an
analysis of reports received by S. w.
Straus & Co. from all parts of the
country in the preparation of their
national building survey.
The closing days Of December wit
messed an augmented demand for
building permits in many important
cities, illustrating a tendency toward
increased activities for the new year.
In New York city permits for more
than s6.000,000 in tenement house
construction in the borough Of Man
haitian alone were filed during the
final days Of the month.
In lis of tn leading cities of the
country, representing more than so
per cent Of the country's population,
the total estimated value of building
permits. issued and applied for in De-
cember, exceeded Sl60,900.o 900, the sur
yey shows.
Throughout December the ratio OF
construction for residential buildings
was about 81 per cent of all types OF

MO0NSHINERS PLAN
TO STRIKE, is RUMOR

1t is reported that Moonshiners'
Union, Local 3,259, with headquarters
in the Cumberland Mountains, is
seriously considering going on strike
The chief complaints are that since
July /, 1919, they have been required
to work at least nine hours day,
that Saturday half holidays have
been discontinued and that there is
sometimes Sunday work without
overtime pay. There's absolutely no
complaint about pay. They report
that salaries are large and satisfac-
tory, but that the workers have been
so busy. that they haven't had time
to spend any of their earnings. They
fear that the income tax will hit
them pretty hard.
Their position in the matter is
clearly pointed out in "The Gauntlet"
a fighting story with Harry T. Morey
in the leading role, which will be
shown at the Kenworthy theatre on
Tuesday
