 tain amount of relief. It advised them to watch their daily newspa- per to see whether this bill became law and what its provisions were.
 Section B of the Selective service act apparently grants the reliefs mentioned, by re-enacting provisions of the soldiers and sailors relief act passed during the last World war. But the section as drawn was ob- jected to by the war department be- cause 1t gave only partial reliefs and did not cover all armed services of the nation.
 BILL REPLACES DRAFT ACT CLAUSE
 The new bill, now pending in Con- gress, carries a section repeating section 13 in the selective service act. In other words, the new bill will take the place of section 13 and is intended to be more liberal in every way. The prospects are that it will be passed by Congress very soon.

Stylish New Shingles.

A great deal of attention has been
given lately to roofs as a. source of
beauty and smartness for homes as
we'll as protection from the ele-
ments. This trend has been accented
recently by the makers of asphalt
roofing shingles, who have gone so
far as to engage Howard Ketcham,
one of the country's leading color
consultants. to make up combina-
tions Of colors which, used on roofs,
serve to make houses look lower,
show more contrast between walls
and roof and bring out attractive
architectural features.
Mr.. Ketcham believes old homes
can be given the illusion of newness
by resorting to color Durable but
dull grays, browns and buffs, there
fore, are being discarded for more
stylish, though equally durable
colors.
The new color chart created by
Mr. Ketcham lies before us as we
write. 1t shows 10 colors for roofs,
each one mixture of several colors
when you examine it closely, but
each fresh, gay and different -
There is one called "red tweed"
which is made of rusty-red, gray
and white particles: another called
''sepia' which is mixture of brown,
tan and white, for all the world like
a new spring coat. And the blue

Wise Use Of Paint
Gives Old Homes
.ContemporaryAir
Style ortcomines
Made Less Noticeable
By Color Schemes

There Is q never-failing charm
about the Colonial type Of house
that holds public fancy year after
year. Yet the most devoted fan Of
early American architecture some
times looks wistfully at his Colonial
house and wishes 1t had q con-
temporary air. For such home
owners as these there's welcome
news. They can now "eat their
cake and have it too" In other
words, they can have the satisfac-
ton Of having a modern looking
house and still not sacrifice the ira
ditional beauty Of Colonial archi-
lecture nor detract from 1t.
The secret lies In the ALLEGATION
of color In accordance with our new
understanding Of paint styling. This
new art Of color usage, besides set
ting forth the most popular ways Of
using color on different types of
homes, also points out how archi-
tectural shortcomings can be made
less noticeable and how the best fea-
lures Of structure can be so empha-
sized with color that they show to
the best advantage.
Let's say, for the purpose of illus
tration, that you own a Colonial
house. It's two stories tall and has
spacious attic. Somehow it has
always looked too tail for its width
and you're always q little dissatis-
fed with Its appearance. The fact
that it is built on a hilltop adds
further to your sense Of dispropor-
tionate height.
Dark Roof Will Dwarf" House.
First of all. We'll analyze the allo-
cation Of color on the surface of
your house at present. The body of
the house Is painted white. The roof
is extremely light in tone. There
are dark shutters at both upper and
lower windows.
To make the house seem lower,
the first remedial measure should
be to coat the roof with a dark color.
This will give the illusion of push

report. Well have the roof painted

light gray. The trim, sash and doors
will all be of1-white and so will the
shutters on the lower floor. Up
stairs. however, the shutters will be
painted rich salmon-rose tone
that brings the house to life and
gives 1t new vitality and charm.
If you like, you can also use this
same lovely color on your garden
chairs. Among the deep green
foliage Of your shrubbery, they will
have the beauty OF ever blooming
flowers.

all sorts of tricks. Besides lowering

their Nationwide survey this year
Of the most popular ways Of paint

Trim Lighter Than Body.
This is what their report revealed
about the most favored treatment
for Colonial houses:
Roof-Medium to dark In color.
Body-Light in color.
Tri,n-Lighter than body (when
body Is white, trim should be the
same).
Sash-Same as trim color.
Shutters - Different from and

Try a SCOT Remover.

It is very near that time Of year
when you should call your heating
contractor, or fuel supplier, and
have him clean out the f1ues of
your heating plant with wire
brushes, vacuum cleaners or what
ever tools he uses. We are going
to pass along information about a
new product to prevent the deposit
Of SCOT in flues of furnaces and
stoves. If you try it this spring
you may avoid trouble next year,
by getting in the habit of using a
SCOT remover once or twice month.
Your spring cleanup of the furnace
will be much lighter. too.
SCOT removers consist of pack
ages of chemicals, incased in card
board, which are placed on top of
the coal bed and consumed in about
five minutes. The chemical burns
and as it does it transforms the
SCOT deposited in flues, firepots, pipes,
etc, to a white powdery ash that
goes through the chimney.
For small coal furnaces and pot
stoves cup or the material dipped
out Of the package is enough. For
oil-burning equipment a different
package is sold. This package is so
designed that the material can be
sprayed out of it into the firebox.
The oil burner must be turned off
and allowed to cool for about 10
minutes before the spraying is done.
Then when the burner is turned on
again the soot-removing material
combines with the SCOT and causes it
to burn to a white powdery ash.
The coal furnace SCOT removers
cost IS cents for one-pound pack
age. or s1.40 for six pounds. The
oil-burner self-spraying remover
costs 80 cents for A-pound
package.

Wax Removing Hints

Be sure to see that all wax is
thoroughly removed before having
floors reflnished. If the floors were
previously treated with the kind OF
wax that requires rubbing to polish
1t. the floor surface should be soak
ed with turpentine or a turpentine
substitute called petroleum spirits.
After the wax has softened, wipe 1t
completely away. Then clean again
with the solvent If a non-rubbing
wax has been used, a good house
hold cleaner mixed with warm water
should be sufncient to remove it.

Good Tools Simplify
5pringtime Tasks

New Scroper Helps
In Floor Refinishing;
Chemical Burns SCOT
BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Are you all set for the repair Jobs
OF spring? Come the first robins,
and the natural-born homemaker
and thinkers put their feminine and
masculine heads together and dis
cover whole slew of things about
the house that need reflnishing,
patching up or refurbishing.
Any number of household tools
will serve you in good stead through
the next month or so, but none is
more useful than the new kind of
wood scraper we recently came
across. 1t is chiefly a cabinetmak-
er's tool, which endears it to home
carpenters, but it can be used very
successfully for floor scraping, or,
indeed, for any scraping of fat
wood surface-wall panels, table
tops or what you have.
The principle employed in the
construction of this tool cuts down
the time required for changing
blades. This is a godsend if you
are deep in your task and find you
need new blade. The blades are
held securely by clamping nut at
the end of the wooden handle, which
controls vice clamp that fits on
the blade end of the handle. The
clamping nut controls the tension
that prevents the blade from f1exing
while in use and holds it in the
correct position for good work.
The tension on the clamp is ad-
justed by means of the thumb nut
at the upper end Of the handle.
Very simple.
Another features of this scraper
Is that the blade can be offset and
tilted, so that scraping can be done
close to the floor or in various hard
to-get-at places.
The tool sells for IS cents, COM
plete with one blade in place and
two extra blades This gives total
Of six cutting edges. since each
blade has two. New blades, which
are 21a inches long, can be pur-
chased for 10 cents each. They are
made of fine quality saw steel, and
have rolled edges to increase cut
ting efficiency.
If you have been intending to
scrape the living room floor, but
hesitated because of the work such
job entails, why not invest Is
cents and take turns-you. your
wife. your son or daughter and the
maid-at getting the job done with
the new wood scraper?

is actually bright blue, mixed with
gray and mere touch of rust.
For houses that look too high the
makers of these roofing shingles tell
us, Mr.. Ketcham advises a rich new
brown or blue-black to help bring
the houses lower to the ground,
optically. A white house looks fresher
II its roof is blue. as eggs in blue
lined container look whittier than in
any other color. A rambling Co.
lonlal house can be brought together
by using darker versions of the wall
colors for roofs and trim.
The colors in these asphalt roofing
shingles are all in the mineral
granules laid on over a high quality
felt-base impregnated with asphalt.
The shingles themselves are flame
resistant, capable of standing years
OF all kinds of weather. The granules
are affixed so firmly that you are
invited to use "the slam test" on
them-grasp the shingle firmly and
SLAIN it hard against the floor and
see how the granules stick on.
Ii you are thinking of reroofng
your house, get color conscious.
Make your next roof do something
Tor the house, esthetically.
