NEW YORK. May 6 (NANA).--
Once more the yearning to see for
myself what lies within the areas that
are now only blank white spaces on
the maps has proved too strong for
me. On August l3 shall leave New
York on my fourth expedition to
Antarctica. hoping to map from the
air the largest unknown territory
anywhere in the world. the Enderby
Quadrant of the antarctic continent.

Of the Antarctic continent two years
ago. every time that looked at the

OF ice-capped land within the Enderby
Quadrant have never been seen by
man. The Polar fights and other

HOW TO DO OVER a FLOOR

it has become dull in appearance -
about half an hour - rub it across the
grain with a clean piece of burlap or
excelsior. Let dry thoroughly, smooth
off with No. O sandpaper and wipe up
dust
OF course the filling process can be
omitted if you did not find it neces-
sary to remove the old finish; the
original filler will be adequate. If you
do have to refill, and want shade
darker than the natural wood. get a
filler that is mixed with the desired
stain and combine the two operations
of staining and filling.
Three coats of varnish are desirable
for lasting results, the first coat usually
diluted by adding about one-eighth
part turpentine Be sure that you buy
a varnish designed for floor work.
Store it in a warm place, not under
seventy degrees, and have the room
at or above that temperature when you
apply the varnish. Fellow the manu-
facturer's directions
Let it dry thoroughly and sand
paper it lightly between coats with
No. 90 sandpaper just enough to re-
move the gloss. Wipe of the dust. If
the final finish is too glossy, rub the
last coat with ground pumice stone
and crude oil, applied with wad OF
rags.
Suppose now that you favor shellac
because it is the quickest of the stand
ard treatments - an important point
if you are redoing an occupied room.
1t is particularly appropriate if your
floors are covered mostly by rugs, but
it does not last as we'll under wear as
the high grade varnishes.
The floor is prepared in exactly the
same way as for varnish, including fill
ing for open-grained woods. The shell
lac is then applied in three thin coats
usually diluted by adding about
one-third denatured alcohol or shellac
thinner
OF the three standard treatments
my favorite is the wax finish, although
it requires more upkeep than varnish.
After preparing the surface as pre-
viously described, if you are down to
the bare wood. apply one coat Of what
is called sealing oil" - a penetrating
preparation spread with brush. like
varnish. When this has dried, rub
lightly with No. O sandpaper and put
on two coats of wax, both coats pol
ished to hard surface with weighted
polishing brush or an electric polishing
machine
Ifyou have obtained fairly uniform
appearance without removing the old
varnish or shellac, you can apply one
or more coats of varnish or shellac -

= is always floor somewhere that
needs refinishing have job
laid aside for winter in my own living
room.
If you can employ professional
floor man, so much the better; but. if
YOU can't, here are few simple dTec-
tions that will help.
For floors of hardwood, such as red
or white oak, there are three standard
finishes - varnish, shellac and wax.
The first step in any case is either to
remove the old surface, or at least to
prepare it for the new treatment.
Let's assume that varnish is your
choice. You can apply it over old var
nish if the latter is washed with tur-
pentine to remove all wax or oil and is
sandpapered to smooth. glossless
surface. But for fine work | should
prefer to remove the old coating
entirely.
If the old finish is shellac it had
better be taken off if wax. it must be
taken off
LIQUID varnish remover is used for
removing varnish, paint or enamel.
You can spread the fluid with wide
paintbrush, allowing it to stand about
five minutes; then when the old sur
face begins to wrinkle scrape it off
with a broad edged knife The residue
you can scrub off with steel wool
saturated in denatured alcohol and
then clean the surface with rag
moistened in alcohol.
To remove shellac or wax no varnlsh
remover is necessary. Scrub with steel
wool, using denatIed alcohol for
shellac and turpentine for wax. Clean
the surface with rag moistened in the
same liquid.
When the floor is dry, sandpaper
until it feels smooth. Use No. l sand
paper placed over block of wood. In
many places you can hire sanding
machine from hardware store, ana
save yourself considerable labor. After
sanding, wipe the floor free of dust.
You are now ready to refnish. For
oak floors from which you have entirely
removed the old coating, the next
operation is to apply filler a
pastelike substance obtained from any
paint dealer. This treatment, as the
name implies. is for filling the pores OF
the wood. 1t is necessary only with
open grained woods such as oak, ash
and walnut. 1t is not necessary with
maple or pine.
The process is simple. Dilute the
paste according to the manufacturer
directions and brush on first with the
grain and then across the grain of the
wood with a stiff paintbrush. After

whichever was used originally - then
the two coats of wax.
In fact many people use two coats
of shellac as foundation for wax on
new floors.
Softwood floors are usually finished
by painting or enameling. 1t is not
usually necessary to remove the old
paint - rub it with No. sandpaper
just long enough to take off any old
paint scale and leave the surface
smooth. Then wipe off the dust with
rag moistened in turpentne.
Apply two or three coats, sanding
between coats with No. 90 sandpaper
just enough to take the gloss off the
surface. Follow the instructions
printed on the can about diluting the
first coat with turpentine, or turpen-
tine and linseed oil. When buying your
paint, state that you want it for floors
and whether it is intended for exterior
or interior use.
Now, just word about the time
required for these operations. For
example, say that your room is eleven
by fourteen feet In many cases, you
will want to refinish only around the
sides of center rug, but even if you
do the whole floor area, the only
lengthy operation is the removal of the
old finish, which might take one man
the better part of day. If it is neces-
sary only to wash the old floor with
turpentine, the job can be done in
couple of hours.
The important point to remember
in planning the work is the time
required for the various treatments to
dry. If you have to fill the floor. the
filler should be allowed to harden for
twenty -four hours before the next
operation, which would be light
sandpapering. Most floor varnishes
also require twenty-four hours for each
coat to harden. Shellac dries hard in
less than an hour Wax is ready to
polish within a few minutes after
application.
As it is always undesirable to track
dirt upon unfinished floors, you'd bet
ter plan to protect the surface if the
job is spread over a couple of week
ends.
For example, if complete refm-
ishing is necessary, you might do the
cleaning, filling and sandpapering
over one week end. protecting floors
with newspapers upon which your
rugs could be laid and furniture re-
placed.
Over the next week end you
could apply two coats of varnish - if
that we're your choice or have
plenty of time to put on three coats of
shellac or shellac and wax as described
above. If you desire a third coat OF
varnish, this could be applied any
time later.

yellowish, the next greenish, and the
next blush.
Spun to the left this order will be
reversed.
This is one of the most remarkable
of all visual illusions and was invented
by 6. E. Benham in 1894. The phe-
nomenon has never been clearly ex-
blamed. No matter, it stands as one
of the great curiosities of vision and
will no doubt keep the scientist guess
ing for a good many years.

Whole Federal System Has
