you have been seeking q time-sav-
ing, labor saving way Of doing them
over, you will be interested In the
new unified floor treatment about
which We have heard recently. Out
OF one container come ingredients
with which to waterproof, seal, stain,
and, II you choose, wax the wood.
The material comes in two finishes
quick drying and wax base. The
quick-drying kind Is for Jobs such
as floors, and wax can be applied
over 1t II you wish. The wax base
kind Is for q soft, natural luster on
wood which does not have to take
trafnc, such as wood trim. Both
come In variety Of finishes such
as golden oak, dark oak and dark
walnut. and must be applied over
sanded or new wood.
This product, in either Of its forms,
Is . cousin Of the material used by
many professional floor finishers-
long-wearing, with an elastic surface
that Is easily cleaned and often
patchable as well. The same ma
terial used by the professional is
available to home owners, too, but
since 1t must be used with an elec-
trio floor polishing machine, it makes
doing the job yourself complicated
The younger cousin, lighter bodied
than the professional product, is

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

The things which are about us day
after day, year after year, often be-
come practically invisible. They are
so familiar we are not conscious of
their shape, color, size. Such an over
looked object is the customary and
utilitarian rural mailbox.
Familiar guardian of the front
gate in every community served by
rural free delivery and lasting years
without replacement, the mailbox is
one Of the last objects in or around
the home to receive the benefits of
styling. Yet even the receptacle for
receiving letters and packages in the
country can be made q credit to the
house 1t serves.
The general size and shape Of the
large rural mailbox is standard, be-
ing prescribed by Government regu-
lation. But you can transform 1t
with new housing made Of wrought
iron. Next time you visit your
country home-or If it Is closed for
the winter, next time you see that
country hideaway in your minds eye
picture how attractive the mall
box could be, turned into an orna-
ment for the front of your home.
Incidentally, it Is not too early to
think about original Christmas
presents-a mailbox housing would
be different" gift for friends with
a home in the country
The housing into which the re-
quired standard mailbox fits Is black
hand-wrought iron. with a decora-
tive silhouette motif either painted
to match the iron or left in reflec-
tive aluminium. The mailbox itself is
painted blue. green or any color that
will furnish contrast for the decora-
ton. while the flag. usually an unin-
teresting square, Is q gay waving
pennant painted bright red. A flower
pot In the color to match the box
fits into the stand below the box.
The decorative motif may be any,
thing you desire, preferably some
thing typical Of the interests Of the
owners Of the house or typical Of the
community In which 1t stands. Fir
trees, ships, dogs, bicycles, camp
fires make your own choice. Each
mailbox housing is made to order, 50
you can suggest whatever you want.
This unique housing is q new
product in a line of aluminium signs,
wrought-iron railings, foot-scrapers
and the like made by a master
craftsman. It costs about $37 so, ex-
elusive of the name of the home
owner across the top of the mailbox.
If you add the name in aluminium
letters that shine when headlights
hit them at night you probably will
not need separate sign, however.

material and most household gar
bage without additional fuel. Large
quantities Of wet refuse may be re-
duced to ashes by means Of q blow
type gas burner, which Is part Of
the incinerator.
This incinerator, frequently. rec
commended for homes in the 5000
to $1,000 class, Is shipped completely
assembled and simply Is bricked in
by the mason at the time he lays
up the chimney for your heating
plant. It can be added to an ex-
isting chimney, too. with very little
labor. It should take a mason about
a day to do the Job Of breaking into
the chimney and installing the unit.
Having a built-in receptacle in
which to destroy refuse is a great
comfort in home management. It
Is good news that such q convent
ence is possible at moderate cost.

Mcdonald Tells Need
Of STANDARD MORTGAGE

improvement and Standardization
Of home mortgage foreclosure stat
utes of the various States is the logi-
cal next step which must be taken
to facilitate low-cost home construc-
ton, Federal Housing Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald said today.
While marked progress has been
made in recent years in reducing
home mortgage interest rates, de-
creasing construction and land de-
velopment costs, and organizing the
building industry, Mr.. Mcdonald
said, little attention has been paid
to the savings which could be made
II costly and cumbersome mortgage
foreclosure procedures were brought
Into line with modern needs.
1T apparently is difficult for the
public to realize that foreclosure
statutes on the books Of many States
dictate to q considerable extent both
the cost Of mortgage money to the
borrower and the type Of home
financing plan used by the lending
institutions Of that State" Mr.. NC
Donald said.

This time he isn't right. For there
is an incinerator on the market
designed especially for the moder-
ate-priced home. It costs $35 t. O. b

"Another Molly Pitcher"

ELLO, EVERYBODY:
IL Today's soul-stirring tale of a brave little mother who
was deathly afraid of guns, but afraid of nothing at all when
corporation hirelings tried to grab a piece of her home, is
the Battle of Monmouth all over again.
You remember, or do you, how in that important engage
ment at Freehold, N. j., away back on June %, 178, Molly
Pitcher took the place of her husband, John c. Hays, an artil-
leryman, after he was wounded, and served his gun, thus
preventing its capture by the British. That's a yarn that
every red-blooded American gets a kick out of every time he
reads it!
1t is mighty comforting, I want to tell you, to know there
are Molly Pitchers in every generation, stepping forward
fearlessly to take the places of their men when necessary.
Just such a woman is today's distinguished adventurer.
Meet Mrs. John Doolin, of Lemont, ILL.,, who did a good job
at writing her story, one that makes you feel all warm and
proud of our wonanhood. They call women the weaker sex.
o yeah? Just put their backs to the wall. If you want the
proof, read how Mrs. Dooin, snglehanded, whipped a rather high
handed corporation that seemed to be trying to put over a fast one.
Not long after a railroad came through the village of Lemont,
where the Doolins had their home, there were a number of acct
dents on a sharp curve close to the Doonn property. The COM
pany wanted to sraighten the line by putting it across the
Dooin yard. Surveyors staked out the new right of way; workers
appeared and began digging. John Dooln ordered them off.
Then he took the first train to Chicago and there consulted his
good friend, Attorney Alexander Sullivan.
Actions of Company Held Illegal by Attorney.
Mr.. Sullivan told him the company had no right to put its line on
Doolin property without permission. But he continued (ad here's the
