 United States In Block
 Brussels, Nov. 16 - (U.Po Any international effort for concerted action to halt Japan's war on China is unlikely to succeed because the United States is unlikely to modify its neutrality law, diplomatic sources at the Far Eastern peace confer ence asserted today. Fifteen nations have pledged themselves to consider such action and with this threat the Donation Far Eastern conference recessed fol one week.
 The delegates looked to Washing ton to see whether the United State! would make such action possible D, agreeing to cooperate. The prevail ing opinion was that congress would not permit the United States tt join other powers in a quarantine of Japan.
 The conference, overriding Italy, attempted veto, approved yesterda! a strongly-worded declaration cen surfing Japan's action in China.

 Bound, Gagged
 The four guards and matron, Mrs. Nellie Hills, were bound and gagged. The convicts went to the yard, tried to start an automobile, were unsuccessful and returned to get Guard Eddie Hayes.
 Hayes started his own machine, equipped with official county license plates. Hayes then was bound and gagged and thrown in the rear seat.
 They drove three miles to Syra- cuse, stopped at one of the prin- cipal street intersections, jumped out and transferred to another car, Hayes freed himself and reported to police headquarters.
 He said one of the convicts was armed with a "nickle- plated" re- volver, and another talked about a tommy gum" He said he gathered from their conversation that they had missed a connection" and that their escape had not worked out entirely as planned.

DID YOU PAINT
The RADIATORS?

1t should have been attended -
earlier-this matter of repainting
the radiators-but in many houses
this was one of those jobs that
was going to be done later.
It's later now but still not too
late. To do the job right the
fire will have to be put out
as the radiators must be cold to
get the best results.
Properly put on paint should
not chip. This is usually caused
by the paint being put on too
thick or the surface not properly
prepared.
Begin by cleaning the radiator
with a wire brush to take off all
dust, rust and loose finish (silver
or gold paint that resists can be
left on). Wipe off we'll with tur-
pentine or benZine to take off all
traces of grease.
For finish use good quality
flat wall paint thinned with one
fourth as much turpentine as
paint. Two or three coats are
needed.
A radiator should stay cold un-
til the paint has hardened.
Light paint dark kens when
heated, so choose a lighter shade
than desired for the final effect.

Wall Coverings ofLinoleun1

Popular resilient kitchen floor
covering is now being seen in the
best of places-even on the walls
of living rooms.
Architects, decorators and home
builders are using linoleums and
other resilient floor coverings in
increasing numbers and amounts.
They are hailed as a distinctly at
tractive and practical method Of
wall decorations.
While these materials are being
used more widely in the lobbieS
and corridors of office buildings,
hotels and apartment houses than
they are in dwellings they, never
theleSS, have won for themselves
a following among home owners.
These materials are chosen for
buildings more or less devoted to
public use, such as the above
named, and restaurants, bars,
night clubs and theaters, because
they are economical and easy to
keep in order.
In the home these resilient-cov.

Bathroom
Tubs Are NOW Being
Built LOWer

Bathtubs are being built lower.
The height of one new model has
been cut from 18 to 16 inches.
Sinks have safety ledges four
inches wide and go inches long to
keep glassware from falling while
it is drying.
The integral shelf for the lava
tory has met with such popular
approval that it has been incor-
porated in many models of both
china and enameled iron wash
basins.
Continued popularity Of bath
room fixtures in ivory because of
the adaptability of this color to
various decorative effects.
Increasing use of the small den-
tai lavatories in master bathrooms
in houses of the better class.
, Growing preference for the one
piece type of closet because of its
quietness of operation.

KEEP HEAT IN
and COLD OUT

Now that winter is definitely on
the way it is time to make the
house as snug as possible against
those icy draughts which will sneak
in unless something is done about
it.
Home insulation naturally is the
answer for the major problem of
heat losses which not only are
paid for in discomfort but through
waste of costly fuel.
But even when the house has
been insulated with the best of
materials and by competent work
men there are other leaks that
must be plugged to hold the heat.
These leaks are around the win
dows and doors.
Preferred methods of closing
these is by use Of weatherstripping
about the doors and windows and
by use OF storm sash ana double
glazing.
The old-time wooden strip faced
with rubber and nailed onto the
window trim, once the ultimate,
has been replaced by metal strips
which fit into special grooves and
effectively close the cracks.
The storm sash is an additional
sash contained in a window frame
usually operating separately from
the main sash. 1t is not to be con-
fused with double-glazing, which
is a second pane of glass, itself
supported in a narrow frame,
fixed to the main sash and operat.
ing with it as a single unit.
The functions of theSe-weather-
stripping and storm Sash-are
quite different. Storm sash is
used as an insulator while the
Misunderstanding is used to prevent
cold from filtering inside the
house.

Marbleizing The
Floor of Kitchen

If you are considering change
in your kitchen floor color, one
especially practical finish that
does not show footmarks may be
had by giving the floor a marble
lied" effect with enamel.
After your ground-coat has dried
thoroughly, apply a light tint.
Before this is dry, take an
elongated wad of wrapping paper,
place it firmly on the floor and
roll it over and over. In this way
some of the wet coat is removed,
allowing the ground coat to show
through.
Finish the job with a coat of
wax.

stance, hot-water supply, red;
cold, blue; waste lines, yellow;

A small amount of time will be
necessary for this work, which
may be done while painters are
busy in the building. The results
in convenience will well repay the
effort and nominal expenses.

When Sediment
SpOils the Bath

One Of those things that can
happen in even carefully man.
aged homes is the finding of un-
welcome sediment in the tub when
the bath water is run.
In case this does happen, the
remedy might prove to be quite
simple and again it might be
troublesome and somewhat ex-
pensive.
Drain the water system, in
cluding the hot-water tank, and
flush the system with fresh water.

ALLOY MOULDING

Bathtubs have a habit of sepa-

which surround them leaving
cracks which collect moisture, dust

may be applied to corner or re-
cessed tub. A mastic which fills
a channel in the back of the
moulding sticks to porcelain, lino-
Ieum and enamel.

Sliding doors are desirable on

opening can be exposed at one

POINT IN DOING.
over" A ROOM
Transformation Easy
To Accomplish

Almost complete alteration Of
the appearance of an ordinary"
living room can be accomplished
at low cost merely by redesigning
the fireplace mantel!
It is the logical focal point of
the room. Decoration proceeds
outward from this central point,
but too frequently little attention
is paid to the mantel itself. In
considering the problem, remem-
ber modern design calls for ex-
treme simplicity of line. If the
house permits, recessed space
above the fireplace is often Sug-
gested in any plan for doing
things over"
BRACKETS SUITABLE
One of the best fireplace rede-
signs recently noted was a
paneled job in Philippine ma
hogany, extraordinarily effective
because of the unique grain of
this tropical hardwood. Small
wall brackets of the same material
supported figurines and several
Oriental vases in striking juxta-
position.
The figurines and vases light
ened the deep, red-brown back
ground and provided the keynote
for the entire room.
USE PANELING
Projections from the wall sur
face are more or less generally
frowned upon by a majority of
decorators. The oldfaShioned
mantelpiece, cluttered with brio
a-brac and knickknacks, is def
nitely out.
Rough native stone and plaster,
set flush with the wall, is attrac-
tive in a room paneled in knotty
pine. Smooth wood paneling
above the fireplace is also effec-
tive, and is a smart background
for a single etching or painting,
