Cold Extension.
@. A two-story brick extension Is
exposed and very cold in winter.
The upper part is a kitchen. The
dish closet is as cold as the refriger-
ator. We have hot-air heat, but
heated air does not come into the
kitchen until the kitchen air is heat
ed by the stove. What can you ad-
wise?
A. In the first place, you should
have an outlet by which the cold
air can escape from the room and
get back to the heater. This would
set up circulation that would bring
the hot air into the kitchen. For
insulation, the kitchen walls can be
lined with stiff insulating boards,
which are one-half inch thick and
would occupy but little space; the
boards could be nailed directly to
the plaster. Cork board might also
be used.

New Cement Nix
Free Of Salts That
Cause Eiflorescence
Woterproofins Chemical
Helps Keep Bricks
From Discoloring
BY DOROTHY DUCAs and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Have you had occasion lately to
notice brick wall anywhere In your
neighborhood whose surface is
splotched with q faint white cloud.
q sort Of deposit Of powdery gram
ules that obscure the rich red or
warm pink Of the brick?
Do you realize what that is? Ef-
horescer1ce.
Efflorescence is caused by the
presence Of soluble salts in masonry
materials. When water gets into .
masonry wall 1t dissolves the salts,
which in turn work their way to
the surface and disngure 1t. There
should be no soluble salts in brick
or mortar, for lasting beauty. There
fore, the kind of brick and the kind
Of mortar used in brick wall is Of
primary importance.
There is on the market q prepared
masonry cement that has been
standardized and packaged to facili-
tate its mixture with sand and water,
costing no more than ordinary ce-
ment and which the manufacturers
claim is practically free OF soluble
salts that cause efflorescence. You
just use one bag of this material to
3 cubic feet of masonry sand,
hoe the two together thoroughly,
add a bucket Of water for every bag
of the material used until the mix
becomes wet throughout and go to
work.
Waterproofing Material
This material is said to afford pro-
lection against efflorescence even
when there are soluble salts in the
brick. because a waterproofing chem
ical has been added to the cement
before 1t Is packed in its bags. The
salts usually can't get through to the
surface of the mortar, which is the
place where they are likely to creep
out.
The mortar is plastic and spreads
out evenly. permitting a complete
bedding Of the brick. It hardens
slowly enough to allow deep pene-
tration with thorough keying into
the pores of the brick. 1t contains
no lime, so requires no slaking.
If you are building a new wall Of
brick, you might ask your masons
to investigate this particular mixture
for the mortar. If you have old brick
walls that need pointing up" or re-
placing of crumbled mortar at the
joints, 1t might be worth while to
try this mixture. You can get 1t In
small and large quantities. for mix
ing by hand or by machine.

thoroughly aware of what you are
doing. Most equipment offered for
sale Is reasonably safe II you know
how to use it. The electric heater
beside your child's bath is one of
the blessings Of this age If you are
there to see that 1t Is handled cor
rectly and If you instruct him care
fully In what he may not do.
This Is an age of smokers. Men
and women alike smoke everywhere
and at all hours. Some materials
burn very quickly, in fact, almost
explode when exposed to a lighted
match or cigarette. In selecting
draperies, upholstery and rugs for
your house keep these things in
mind. The grass rugs, the rufiled
sheer curtains at your windows, the
attractive accessories that we use
for table and living room decora-
ton can stand little investigation
for flammability. It's an excellent
idea to have a small fire extin-
guisher available to your living
room and dining room. It is possi-
BILE to have 1t filled with a sub
stance which will not ruin every
thing 1t touches and may at the
same time save life or prevent an
expensive fire.

on the theater programs: Look
around you now, select the nearest

two exits, SO that If one were cut

would be wise not to open the door.
Is there a window, a porch roof or
similar exit that would be immetli-
ately available in such an emergen-
cy? Do your children know what
to do in case of fire in the house
or to their own or a playmate's
clothing?
Are the stairways and halls prop
erly lighted in your house? Is the
top stair on the second landing In
shadow so that an elderly person
or child or q guest not used to
your house might miss the step? An
electrician can install q small spot

Do your children leave their toys

Along with teaching them the dan

for them to play with little dis

keep their toys. A closet on the
first floor may be arranged with
several low shelves, or a toy box on
rollers may be pushed into q closet
when not in use. One clever per-
s"n placed light but sturdy wooden
box on small rubber tired wheels
and made q rope handle at either

Homemakers are often far behind
these days in instructing their fami-
lies and servants in methods of
safety, and in many cases are lax
about ordinary precautions them
selves. There are regular safety
classes Of instruction in all large
organizations, in schools, in boys
and girls clubs and in the c. G. G.
Drivers of the large freight vans
and buses, conductors and engineers
on trains, and pilots on the airlines
are constantly made aware of their
responsibilities. Many a man or
woman who would demand investi-
cation and remuneration in case
of accident on a ship resulting
from the lack of drilling crew and
passengers for safety would be just
the one to put penny in the burnt
out fuse, or stand on a rickety stool
to reach top shelf in their own
house, and be in far worse danger
of losing his life.
Electricity is one Of the greatest
joys of this civilization of ours.
Once over our first awe of it, we
have added more and more appli-
ances to our collection, but in many
cases We have not grown up" with
it. We plug them in" wherever
and whenever the spirit moves us
and whether or not they, and we,
are safe at that location never en-
ters our heads. Appliances such
as stoves, irons, heaters and most
other electrical equipment were not
intended to be screwed into the
ordinary light socket. Receptacles
are especially designed for this pur-
pose, and your house should be
equipped with them If you are in
the habit of using appliances. The
electrician can tell you just how
much of a load each circuit in your
house is carrying. He will not per-
init you, If he is q competent elec-
trician, to overload it. He will rec
ommend the installation of another
circuit and will put in receptacles
with outlets for equipment wherever
they are most convenient and,
above all, where they are safe. You
will not want brass or metal fixtures
near your kitchen sink or your lava
tory or tub in the bathroom. Every
one should know by this time that
you cannot stand in the bath tub
and turn off the electric light with
out getting results, severe and i'm
mediate. Use china fixtures with
switches removed from the light
source. In spite of these precau-
tions many of the china bathroom
fixtures have outlets for fathers
