to include the home building business.

out, has always been largely composed

~OLOR in a kitchen can make
or ruin an angel cake. When
a woman "sees red" on a hot
~ Summer day, her disposition
shows up in the pastry. Or
even the salad. But sad biscuits can
often be traced back to hot, strident
colors on the kitchen wall.
Do the colors in your kitchen sug-
gest frosty March mornings, ocean
spray and deep beds Of mint? Or do
you take one look at the kitchen and
think of a hot skillet?
Walls, as you've probably discovered,
are tremendously important. Ivory,
light blues, greens and any cool gray
with green or blue tones in it are a
few Of the many wall tints designed
to keep kitchens at lowered tempera-
ture.
A gloss paint is best for kitchen
walls. Moisture and grease have little
effect on it, and it is easy to clean
with a damp cloth. For the same rea-

WaterprOofing Cellar.

@. Is there a method of treating
cellar walls and floors to make them
water proof?-R. P.
A. The principal causes of damp
cellars are penetration of moisture
through the walls and floor because of
improper subdrainege or condensation
of moisture on chilled wall surfaces.
The drainage system should be exam
ined and corrected at the outset. If
waterprooing is to be applied it should
be done before back filling. Such coat
ing is best applied to the outside. since

Treatment of Concrete.

@. Should concrete be treated before
applying paint?-I. P.
A. Before stucco. concrete, or similar
materials are painted with oil paints
1t is advisable to let them stand at least
year to allow them to dry thoroughly
and to give the lime in the materials
sufficient time to age, thus preventing
the painted surface from being marred
If it is necessary to paint before suftl-
cient time has elapsed. 1t is possible
to neutralize the free lime in the ma
terial by washing the surface with a
solution composed of 3 to 4 pounds
of zinc sulphate crystals dissolved in
q gallon of water. This wash may
be applied with a calcimine brush
or sprayer. and should be allowed to
dry a week before applying the paint
If concrete or stucco has been pre-
viously painted, scrape off all loose
paint, fill in cracks with mortar or
white lead putty. and treat all fresh
mortar spots with zinc sulphate. The
surface can be painted in the same

Learned Man Derides
Grounding as Prophet

The grounding or woodchuck, like
many another legendary figure has
been debunked.
After years Of experiments with
woodchucks and other alternating
animals the sum of conclusions OF
Dr. George e. Johnson of the zoology
department of the Kansas State col
lege, is that these animals are likely
to wake up, yawn and perhaps step
out for breath of fresh air any time
before or after February 2, known
as grounding day.
If warm spell has driven the
frost from the ground he is likely to
go out for little while. If not, he
shakes himself. curls up again and
goes back TO sleep without probably
bothering even to seek his shadow.
All of which, says Doctor Johnson,
makes him hardly dependable
weather prophet.
