Not wishing to be disturbed

LikeAnother
Bath For
Home?

Plans for undermining your
house should provide for an extra
bathroom, if you can possibly af-
ford it.
The modern bathroom is com.
pact and does not require the ex.
tensive space formerly considered
necessary for this room.
In the manufacture of modern
plumbing equipment and fixtures
special consideration has been
given to their adjustment to a
limited area.
The size nd shape of the extra
bathroom necessarily depends
upon whether space is immedi-
ately available or whether it
must be created from adjoining
rooms, halls, or clothes closets.

LET There Be
LIGHT AT HOME

Whereas castles of 1000 years
ago had no windows and whereas
so years ago windows were made
futile by heavy blinds; therefore,
be it resolved that plenty of sun
shine and air shall creep into
every corner of the m d ern
home.
Such a resolution seems to have
been made by today's home buyer,
and manufacturers of glass are
aware of the fact. So wide-awake
are they that they have already
placed on the market many types
of glass unknown to the average
citizen.
Consider one of the latest
typeS-a boon for bathrooms
which is of the semi-opaque
classification. 1t can be used
for one or more entire walls of
a room, admitting sunlight but ex-
Guiding the gaze of passersby.
Consider also the nearly I'M
breakable, flexible glass recently
invented. At present fairly ex-
pensive, its use will bring down
costs and provide the perfect ma
terial for windows or mirrors in
homes containing children.
Folk planning to superintend
the building of their own home
may have new varieties of glass
and any other new materials
installed if they so desire. What
is a little extra expense at the
beginning compared to a lifetime
Of beauty and serviceability?

Stairway to Attic
Is Disappearing

For the small house that has not
room for a stairway to the attic,
there is a disappearing stairway
on the market. It slides up into
the ceiling when not in use and is
released by the pulling of a chain.
Steel cables winding on spring
drums balance the weight and
keep it from flying up and down.
It is stable and does not give one
the feeling that he will fall while
going upstairs.

NOVEL HEATER
GAINING FAVOR

An interesting method of heat
ing used in Europe is gaining
favor and wider use in this coun-
try. This method, known as panel
heating, calls for the installation
of labyrinth piping in the walls,
ceiling, or floor of the room, but
not exposed within the room.
The pipes are concealed by a
material which is a good con-
ductor of heat and that does not
absorb radiant heat. Thus by
circulating hot water or steam
through the labyrinth pipe the
surface which contains the piping
is kept near the temperature of
the water or steam, and this heat
is radiated to the rooms, produc-
ing an effect similar to that ex-
perienced from the rays of the
sun or the open fire.

But this particular alibi-about
the difficulties to be encountered
in ones basement-doesn't hold
water. It's not hard to keep a
cellar clean and good-looking. if
you know how.
Here are some tips:
Most dust and dirt in a basement
comes from chipping cement and
coal. It's a different kind of dirti-
ness than one gets in the living
room, but easy to handle.
To prevent cement dust, have
all cement walls and floors painted
with deck paint. It's tough, will
make the place prettier, and keep
down grit.
Dust from coal and ashes is even
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-09-18

easier to eliminate. Just sprinkle
ash receptacles and the ashes as
they come from the furnace. And
sprinkle the coal in the bin and
the bin itself before each new de-
livery. Coal comes dampened and
clean-its the dust already there
that makes the difference.
Keep ash receptacles tightly
covered. And don't pile old junk
in the basement if you want it
Spotless. Yellowed newspapers and
juniors broken velocipede collect
more dust than you might i'm.

ALL ABOUT THE.
NEWEST STYLES
IN DECORATING
How About Fixing Up
One or Two Rooms?

Want some suggestions for deco
rating the rooms in your new
house?
Or how about doing over a room
II you have lived in the same dwell
ing for several years.
Nothing perks up ones sense
Of pride and ownership more than
fixing things up''-whether you
paint the kitchen or repair the
cement walk-and now is the time
to plan furnishings and interior
decoration.
Lots of up-to-date ideas along
these lines were discovered by Ruth
McInerney, noted decorator, when
she visited Grand Rapids, Mich,
last week and previewed the new
styles. She described how furni'
ture and wall trims can be com
bined to pleasing effect:
GREEN SUGGESTED
with Early American and
farmhouse type" furniture go
walls having natural finished
wood dado and upper walls of
soft colors. Blonde and light
enameled furniture thrives in a
setting where walls have been
painted in some Of the vivid
new shades.
with eighteenth century
mahogany pieces are painted
panelled walls in a revival of
Georgian green. The green is
subdued with amber antiquing
fluid.
Equally modiSh are walls of
picked pine. Arranged in a
room with this wood are mahog-
any and satinwood pieces, up
holstered chairs done in English
linen tones of rose, green or
beige. Perhaps one Of the new
high coffee tables is at hand,
or one of the drop-leaf cocktail
tables with a brass recess for
growing plants. Maybe there's
one of the new long fireside
benches, covered in pink and
beige.
BEDROOMS PRETTY
"Brick rose draperieS and up
holstery are cheerful in room
panelled in picked pine. A
mural in pastel colors occupies
one wall. In such a room, at
least one piece of furniture
should also be pickled-perhapS
a desk with breakfront cabinet,
having an antique fooled leather
cover and a brass wire grill
above.
Helen Parks, famous de-
signer, has done a series of bed
rooms in the modern manner
which are outstanding among
the displays. Pale fuchsia
painted walls bring out the
beauty of blonde mahogany fur
niture with it's squared off cor
ners and Serpentine metal trim.
Dusty pink painted walls set
off gray hardwood beds and
cabinets. Blonde fruitwood furn-
ishings are revealed in their full
beauty against pistachio green
walls.
Platinum white hardwood
furniture, with smooth rounded
edges, shows to excellent ad-
vantage against walls painted
in the shade known as Suntan.

FOUR CATHOLIC PRIESTS HERE
 FROM CANADA
Brother of Joe Thibodeau . Visiting Tn Juneau
 This Week

Motoring from Eastern Canada to Seattle where they boarded the Mount Mckinley for Alaska, four Catholic prietts, one of whom is the Rev. Anthony Thibodeau, brother of Joe Thibodeau of Juneau, arrived here Saturday night for a few days visit
 Accompanying Rev Thibodeau are Rev Alphonse Trottier, Rev. Odon Archambeau, and Rev. P. A. Granger.
 Rev. Thibodeau is a teacher of French literature in the preparatory college of the Assumption Seminary, Assumption, Quebec, while Rev. Tro- i tier is an English teacher there. I Rev. Archbeau is parish priest in the village of Crab Tree, Quebec, and Rev. Granger is a member of i the Dominican Order from Mon treal
 Yesterday at the Shrine to St. TereSe, Rev. Thibodeau said mass m the retreat house, WlLh RODerl Thibodeau, his nephew, as server, becoming the first priest outside of the Vicarate of Alaska to say mass at the Shrine. The Rev Trottier and Rev. Archambeau alternated in mass at the Church of the nativity.
 The four priests are being enter tained by Joe Thibodeau during their stay in Juneau, and were guests at the ball game yesterday in Douglas. They are planning a fishing trip with MT. Thibodeau soon.
 Before leaving for Juneau they stopped for a short time at Lake Louise and Banff.

 Guthrie McClintic, the producer, is another whose breakfast is ritual lasting several hours. He will read several plays between cereal and eggs Charlie Macarthur might also be classed as one who 1eliber- ates over his food, although this is not always the case. Charlie is such an omniverous talker that he really doesn't get chance to make away with his food. Once in a night club a steak was set before this Irish gadabout, but 40 minutes later Charlie was still talking, and the waiter courteously removed it, supplanting it with a fresh, hot one. Macarthur never knew it until his companion told him the next day.
 Another who feels k6enly on this subject is Christopher Morley He is the founder of the Three Hours For Lunch Club.
