term.
 While tradition is worthy of consideration, we must remem- Der that the history of the world is fat with traditions which were later found to be unWise or inn moral or simply frivolous. In this particular matter I prefer to fel- low the advice and views of the Father of Our Country, rather than those of President Jefferson. In a letter to General Lafayette, dated April 27, 1788, General Washington wrote as follows:
 !" Guarded so effectually as the proposed constitution is, in respect to the prevention of brlb cry and undue influence in the choice of president: I confess, l differ widely myself from MT. Jefferson and you, as to the nec- essity or expediency of rotation in that appointment. :.
 Under an extended view of this part of the subject can see no propriety in precluding our selves from the services of any man, who on some great emer- gency, shall be deemed, univer- sally most capable of serving the public
 'No Democrat and, indeed, no citizen need be deterred from voting for President Roosevelt be cause of thhe third term objec- tion. Both the better reason and the great authority of General Washington are on our side"

Pieces of thick felt should be put

method would be to put framework

Scared Floor.
@. How can I reflnish a badly
SCARED, horribly vanished and
stained soft white pine floor?
A. The best treatment for your
floors would be scraping with floor
machine. You can undoubtedly find
some one in your neighborhood who
does work of this kind. The ma
chine will not only take off all of the
old finish, but will bring the floors
to an even smoothness, while the
new wood that is exposed can be
finished in any desired way. If
you cannot have the floors scraped,
you can take of the finish with tri-
sodium phosphate, 3 pounds to the
gallon of water. If you cannot get
this chemical under its own name,
ask at a grocer's for a colorless,
latherless cleaning powder. The fin
ish will soften and can be wiped and

and allow to dry before refinishing

I should like to finish in this way.
A. Get a smooth surface on the

First Aid
For the
Aning House
BY ROGER b. WHITMAN.

9. I paid SIS for replaste-ing
ceiling. The plasterer said he
would not take down the picture
niolding, for he could do a good
job with 1t in place. 1t is now i'm
possible to get a picture hook on for
the space is filled with plaster. Am
I justified In deducting something
from his bill? He also splashed
plaster on a large mahogany bed.
1.have wiped it off and used polish,
but fear that when the polish
wears of the damage will show.
A. BY rights you should have
the picture molding taken of and
replaced, charging the plasterer
for the expense or giving him the
chance to do the job himself. As to
the bed, If 1t is now in good condi-
ton it will undoubtedly remain so
or can be kept in shape with occa-
sional polishing.
i Ceiling Finish.
@. A plaster ceiling about II by
Is feet has had wallpaper re-
moved and has hard and rather
smooth surface. A large space was
recently patched. I want to put on
a finishing coat of plaster. Local
nasons doubt that plaster will stay
on. Can you advise me?
A. Instead of plaster, use a kind
OF plastic paint made with gyp-
sum. There are several brands
on the market. These paints contain
a binder that will hold to your old
plaster. The paint can be put on
with a whitewash brush about one
quarter inch or more thick and can
be smoothed with a trowel or q
mason's float. These paints are in
tended to be used for texturing but
can equally well be given a smooth
surface.
Veneered Surfaces.
@. Some time ago you recommend
ed scraping veneered top rather
than using liquid varnish re-
mover. Why? I was for many
years in the piano manufacturing
business and when we had occasion
to remove varnish from a case we
always used liquid remover No
harm resulted by this method.
A. My reason for suggesting
scraping for removal of finishes on
veneered furniture is due to the
fact that not all veneers are glued
with the same type of glue or in the
same manner. A poor quality veneer
on furniture may separate when a
liquid is applied Therefore it is
safer to use scraper, unless the
veneer is known to be of high
quality workmanship and materials.
Maps on a Wall.
@. I have removed the paper
from the walls of a small room
and am going to cover them with
maps. Should the walls be sized?
And can I use regular wallpaper
paste?
A. Yes, size the walls and put
on the maps by the same method
as wallpaper. Get the best grade
OF wallpaper paste that you can find.
Spread the maps on the floor for
pasting. In sticking them on begin
at the top edge and roll the maps
downward so that all air will be
excluded. If you find that bubbles
OF air have been caught use rubber
roller Of the kind meant for mount
ing photographs. If the bubbles
will not roll out, puncture the paper
with a needle; the air will escape
and when the paper is pressed down
the hole will disappear.
Stopping Overhead Noise.
@. The kitchen of the upstairs
apartment is directly over our bed
room, and we hear every sound.
Can our ceiling be made sound
proof so that we can sleep?
A. 1t cannot be made entirely
soundproof, but the noise can be
