Every family that decides to do
over the basement and turn it into
a playroom goes through a process
of finding out what can and cannot
be used below grade.
For instance, one of the chief
complaints is, II want linoleum
floor, but I'm told by experts that
dampness from the cellar might
spoil the seal between the floor COW
ering and the concrete" That COM
plant is doomed to the discard now
with the advent of a special lino-
leum damp proof tile designed spe-
officially for installation on concrete
under floors on or below grade.
The new tile looks like any inlaid
linoleum, since that is exactly what
it's surface is, but the tile is backed
with a waterproof adhesive men,
brane applied to it in the factory
This membrane protects the tile from
the action of water and alkali in
concret subf1oor. 1t also facili-
tates installation by insuring a per-
feet bond of the tile to the under
floor.
To install the tile. special damp
proof cement is troweled on the floor
and the tile is set in the cement
The membrane is activated by the
cement and a tight bond is formed
This feature speeds the installation
Job considerably. Linoleum tile will
not give good service if there is an
actual leak in the floor or wall. as no
applied floor covering can cope with
/ leakage.
The tile, though particularly use
full in recreation rooms and base
ment laundries, is perfectly good for
cemented to wood floor by using
lining felt between the tile and the
wood. After the linoleum is laid, it
is cared for much as ordinary sheet
inlaid linoleum is, by washing with
mild soap and warm water ano
waxing with self-polishing wax.
Linoleum tile comes in marbleized
patterns, with maroon, black, white
or light-tan bases. 1t costs about
$1.65 square yard, uninstalled, as
compared with standard weight
sheet linoleum which has no moist
ure- proof features and costs about
$l.60 square yard.

ed air from the radiator so it moves
around the room and brings moist

cause there is a water pan built into
the radiator, over which the air
passes before it leaves the unit.
The radiator works with either

If you are thinking about Thanksgiving, you are naturally thinking about turkeys.
 The size of the bird will de- pend upon the number to be served. and how the family re- acts to leftovers.
 A pound per person is a gen erous serving.
 In proportion to it's size the hen turkey has more meat and less bone than the tom turkey The 10-pound turkey is about the average buy. When preparing for a large crowd some cooks pre- fer two 10-pounders to one very large turkey. Of course, this is determined by the cooking fac ilities.
 Here are the four stages thru which a turkey passes:
 l. THE CHOICE: Select a tur- key that is plump, has the fat evenly distributed under clear, firm, yellow skin has few blem- ishes or pin feathers. The breast bone should be straight and pli- able at the end. Most turkeys are sold by dressed weight, picked but not drawn and with the feet and head on. The butcher usual ly cuts off the feet and heads and cleans the fowl. The gibblets are placed inside the cavity. Drawn weight is about one-fifth less than dressed weight.

Perpetuation of Civil Liberties

The national conference on civil liberties which will be held in New York at the end of the coming week is particularly well timed. There is disturbing amount of evidence to show that even a peaceful nation in a world yat war must fight with increased Vigor to keep the liberties of its Sndividuals.
 The American Civil Liberties Union is sponsoring the confer ence. It will begin on Friday with a dinner for three men who have been outstanding cham pions of evil liberty: Attorney General Frank Murphy, founder of the civil liberties division of the Department of Justice; Sen ator Robert Wagner, author of the national labor relations act, and Senator Robert La Toilette, chairman of the Senate Civil Lib critics Committee for the last two years.
 The Bill of Rights is 150 years old. That has given us time enough to take our liberties for granted, to grow complacent and Lstless in their defense. But the suppressions of civil rights in Europe should drive home the fact of the matter: We can re- tain our liberty to think and pray and speak as we please only by constant, determined insist ence upon those rights. - Phil adelphia Record.

with the SkeWers or a cord. This trusting keeps the turkey com pact, which helps hold in the flavor and moisture and makes carving easier. Remove all cords when the fowl is served.
 4. THE COOKING: Rub the outside of the bird with salt mix ed with butter. Place the turkey, breast side down, on a rack in a large open roasting pan. An old turkey will need a cover so that the steam will help make it tender Roast in a moderate or moderately slow oven, about 300 degrees. This even, slow cooking keeps in the full flavor and juic es and gives delicious crusty (not hard) skin. Baste every 15 minutes with 12 cup butter mix ed With 12 cups hot water. When this is used up, haste with the drippings in the roasting pan. Carefully turn the bird on it's back during the last hour of roasting. A 6-to-9-pound bird re quires about 3 hours to cook, 9-to-14 about hours and large CT one from 5 to ' hours.
 If the fowl gets a little brown before it is done. cover with a cloth rinsed out of hot water. Baste right through the cloth. To test whether the turkey is done, stick skewer between the leg and the breast and also in the thickest part of the breast. If the juice comes out clear and not red, the turkey is done.

move all pinfeathers and singe off any hairs by holding the fowl over a low flame. Make sure that all the entrails have been re- moved. Thoroughly scrub both the inside and outside of the tur key. Rinse by letting cold water run through. Wipe very dry both the inside and outside of the tur key. Sprinkle inside with salt, then stuff.
 Wash the giblets and see that there are no green spots on the liver as they would give very bitter taste to the gravy. Sim mer the giblets in salted water until tender, probably l12 hours The chopped giblets and the glib let stock are ready for the gravy. Remember, that to many people giblet gravy is to turkey what cheese is to apple pie
 3. THE SHUTTING: A gener- ous cupful per pound of turkey is the average amount of stuffing re quired. So make up the cd fam fly favorite or introduce some new stufing like prune nut, wild rice or mushroom. Better make up some extra and bake it 30 minutes in a casserole. There al ways is call for more stufing." {"
 Lightly f1 the cavities with the stuffing. Never pack it in, for when cooked it will be soggy and heavy. Sew the cuts with thread or skewer in place. Press the wings over the back and the legs close to the body. Fasten

NEW ALASKA SENIOR
 MILITARY UNIT IMPORT

Announcement this week of inc establishment at the Univer- sity of Alaska of a Senior Infan- try Unit with officers of the Unit cd States Army detailed as in- structors in Military Science and Tactics brings to attention of Al askars the extension to the Terri tory of a service of wide signifi- canoe touching the matter of ma tional defense.
 Youth of Alaska are to be giv- en the opportunity of thorough training that will fit them to qual fly as reserve officers, available for emergency service should Al aska ever be attacked by enemy force. Graduates from the course doubtless will form an invalu able nucleus for the organization at available man power should the country ever face an invad- ing force.
 Lieut.. A C Yelling, of the U s Engineering Corps, who has been designated Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the Uni versity, and Sergeant J B Illus  sey from the 30th Infantry, at the Presidio, San Francisco, who will be assistant, give the new A aska unit the most capable of instructors. They take over the work so ably inaugurated under direction of Capt. C R Huber, of the reserve officers corps, who for nine years has served as pro lessor of military science and tao tie under the heretofore limited provision for military training at the University. He has rendered an excellent service which has paved the way for the University to win recognition and the eX- tension of the new and more com plete training organization now brought to the institution with the aid of the U s Army.
 The cooperation of Dr. C K Bunnell, president of the Univer sity, and others associated in the work here during the earlier per jod, has been an important fac tor in bringing about the new es tablishment and starting it of with an exceptionally good groundwork.
 Young men who will be sub ject to military service in event of hostilities, and who are ann bilious to be more than members Of the rank and file, now have

 Alaska has good reason to en- tertain a greater sense of secur- ity because of the new establish ment, and Fairbanks as the seat of the establishment may expect to witness much important devel opment and activity as the new unit carries on n this Farthest North field in it's responsible task of preparedness against any evil day that may befall the Territory.

dinner. Men admire women that know
what they want to drink and eat and
say so. If you don't want the soup
course, say so; if you'd prefer salad
to vegetables, do ditto. The boys dis
like you if you smoke continuously
through dinner-it really looks awful!
They also dislike having to call the
waitress because you want something
sent back-because you think it isn't
cooked right or because you've sud
denly decided you don't want it. Don't
bawl out the waitress, either! (par-

to f1irt with other men, your mind
probably isn't where it should be-on
your escort, and your dinner. Look
at yourself and do your makeup re-
pairs in the ladies' room, then forget
about your face until you are about
to leave! You had better keep all
these points in mind or you'll soon be
dining alone and you won't like it!
