BETTER CHOOSE
GOOD PLUMBING

People who buy low-priced
houses generally live on a close
budget.
This means that unexpected eX-
penses are serious consideration,
and, while the expenditure of a
few dollars more or less is impor-
tant in the purchase Of real estate.
the initial expense is less trouble
some than the cost of upkeep and
repairs.
Particularly in the field Of heat
ing equipment should first cost be
weighed against costs of operation
and maintenance. Unless the heat.
ing system Of a house is adequate
the purchaser will soon become dis
satisfied.
Recent years have witnessed im-
portant improvements in design
and operation of furnaces. Types
of central heating plants now
available may be classified as
warm air, hot water. steam and
VapOr.

Bethel Offers
LOW-PriCed Home

Located just off S xteenth Street
and overlooking Rock Creek Park,
a new home just placed on the
market by J. Garrett Bethel is
priced lower than usual despite the
fact it contains six rooms, bath,
a deep lot and full, well-lighted
basement.
The dwelling may be purchased
for a down payment of only $500,
plus $75 a month. Lest the
monthly payment seem a bit high,
it should be pointed out the install
mentS include not only a quick
payoff of principal and interest,
but also all taxes and water rent.
The home is at 1886 Rittenhouse
st. N. w., and may be seen today
and tomorrow.

Tips on The
Fireplace
Problem

Ability to make q fire, like the
presence or absence of a sense of
humor, is a touchy subject with
most humans. However, here are
two tips on handling the fire
place:
/. If smoke rolls out into the
room wher the fire is first made,
light a newspaper first and let
the flames shoot up into the
chimney. This helps to drive the
cold air out, letting the smoke
rise later.
2. Leave some ashes in the fire
place whenever you clean it out.
The ashes will help keep the next
fire going.

IMAGINE!--THEY
ARE USING GEMS
in OIL BURNERS
Sapphires Assist You
By Saving Fuel
BY JENNIE MOORE

Jewels for show, yes. Jewels to
mark that precious anniversary. It.
maybe just one jewel in lifetime
for most of us. There's nothing
new about that.
But jewels for efficiency {.
that's an odd idea. 1t is not too
odd, though, for your modern en-
gineer. He would use jewels or
oyster shells or cabbage leaves if
they happened to serve his pur-
pose. And this time he has chosen
to use sapphires in an oil-burning
furnace for efficiency. if you
please!
IT'S ENGINEERED"
Probably you have been think
ing of installing automatic heat
in your house for some time. Now
that your budget is bringing that
possibility closer to reality, you
will want to investigate the auto.
matte oil-burning furnaces.
For such a furnace is "engi-
neered," which indicates that it
comes to you a complete unit
without your tinkering with any
part Of it at any time.
JEWEL USED
It is the search for efficiency
that has caused engineers to in
clude jewels in the atomiZer of
one type of oil furnace. A
cleaning little sapphire. the next
hardest stone to a diamond, is set
into the atomizer through which
the fuel oil passes.
There Is no danger Of this
atomizer spraying out gallon Of
oil per hour this November first
and a gallon and a half Of oil
per hour next November first. The
size of the orifice which guards
the precious oil remains the same
size year after year. For, unlike
metals, SapphireS do not wear out.

POWDER ROOM is
JUST The THING
IN MODERN HOME
Provides Extra Bath On
First Floor
By RUTH McINERNEY

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 30.-"There
lust aren't enough bathrooms IN
this house!"
That has been the plant OF
many a family for many and
many a year. The answer to this
great American problem seems to
be the modern powder room, with
its convenient facilities for wash
ing and dressing, its own color
schemes, its own personality. 1t
contains a lavatory, closet, dres-
sing table and bench, hamper and,
perhaps, a shower. Furthermore,
it helps to keep peace in the best
regulated families.
Being tidy and immensely
pleasing, this new room some
times occupies the space OF a
clothes closet on the lower floor.
Sometimes it is tucked inside on
the basement floor so that hard
playing children have little ex-
cuse for dodging washing-up be-
fore meals. At other times 1t
climbs aloft and takes over a
walled.off portion of a bedroom.
NOT EXPENSIVE
To keep down initial expense,
unfinished vanity, bench, hamper
and medicine chests may be pur-
chased and then enameled in the
main color of the room. 1nexpen-
sive accessories such as towel bars,
soap dishes, drinking glass holders
are then painted in brilliant con-
trast.
Another idea to simplify the
color scheme is to paint the ceiling,
walls, floor, in one cool color-the
lightest tint of which is on the
ceiling; the darkest on the floor.
Then the housewife selects vivid
contrast color for towels, small
scatter rug and the shower cur
tain. Presto! She may thus achieve
a different-looking powder room by
having more than one set OF these
simple contrasting accessories.
For example, in a room where
ceiling is painted ice blue, walls are
slightly deeper and the floor is al
deep blue, there are cheerful rose
red towels tapping over ice blue
towel bars and a roSe-red chenille
rug on the deep blue floor. Ice blue
also backgrounds a balancing color
like beige. Shades of gray in the
background act as demure foil
for touches of rose pink or the new
shade called dawn, which is soft
rose tone.
COLORS VARIABLE
If you're powder nominating,
perhaps you'd like this new depart
ment of your household to have
walls painted peach color and the
ceiling coated the color of rich
cream. On a deep sea-green floor,
a cream-toned hug will stand out
attractively while towels of sea-
green and a dressing table of sta
tionary fixture of pale peach tint
will complete the picture in most
effective fashion.

PUT CUPBOARDS
IN DINING ROOM

Many a dining room can be i'm
proved in looks and made more
useful by building corner cup
boards.
These may be real places to
store china and glass, or they may
be purely decorative and contain
just few choice bits for display.
If the former, it would be bet
ter to have doors to shut out the
view; if the latter, however, no
doors should be used, and the
shelves can be cut out in delicate
patterns to add to the decorative
effect.

ARE YOUR ROOMS
OvE:RHEATED OR
.UNDERH
Coating on Radiators
May Be Reason

Do your radiators appear to over.
heat some rooms and underheat
others?
If that is the case, there may be
two causes. One is a matter Of
plumbing, involving faulty pipes or
some other trouble that only an
experienced plumber can fix. The
other is the paint on the radiators.
If the paint on a radiator in an
underheatsd room is aluminium or
bronze or a very dark color, the
coating is probably the seat Of the
difficulty.
EIEAT INCREASED
Remove the existing paint and
repaint in a light tint of oil paint.
The heating efficiency Of the radi,
ator should then be greatly In.
creased.
Similarly. if the paint on a radi
ator in an overheated room is not
dark shade. repainting it with
aluminium or bronze may solve the
problem. The radiator will then
give far less heat than formerly.
INSULATION CITED
However, it may be that an
underheated room is on the north
side of the house. If the insula-
tion Of the home was installed
some years ago, or if there is no
insulation, the radiator may not be
the sole cause Of the trouble.
Remember that mineral wool in,
sulation, if blown between the
joistS of the side-waIl, often packs
down" and leaves open spaces at
the top in few years. -:.
The Washington times., 1937-10-30

INSULATION-One new type
Of insulation should be remem-
bered If you are going to "do
over" a room-especially a room
in an ell of the house or in the
attic. The new material is a
wallboard, finished on one side so
that it need not be painted or
papered. 1t helps hold in heat
and keep out cold-besideS being
quite handsome in bedrooms CT
playroomS.
The Washington times., 1937-10-30
APRICOT AND BLACK

Apricot and coral towels add a
gay note to a sophisticated bath
room where black is used promi-
nently. The entire wall above the
tub is painted silver-grey: the
other three are "mableized" from
the black tile wainscot upward.
The Washington times., 1937-10-30

DOOR SILLS-Ever notice that
the sillS between rooms, since they
bear the brunt of much tramping,
wear more quickly than the
floors? To prevent unsightliness,
and the gathering of dirt when
the grain Of the wood wears down,
the sills should be vanished or
painted the minute the finish be-
comes worn.
The Washington times., 1937-10-30
HoUsECLEANINC TIME

The washing of woodwork should
always be started at the top of the
room instead Of the bottom. This
prevents the streaky look caused
by streams of dirty water trickling
down and settling over he un-
washed surface.

Bright winter rugs are a sure
