Answer-Suggest that you get q
can Of putty, . tube Of plastic wood
and two pounds Of plaster of paris.
You may Judge amounts by the
number Of cracks you have to hll.
Generally speaking, putty is best for
small cracks in doors, woodwork or
floors that are to be painted or
vanished. Use putty knife, soften
the putty in your hand and press
1t into the cracks with the knife.
Plastic wood is good for the large
cracks or to f1ll any dents or holes.
The directions come with it, so fol-
low them carefully. For your plas-
ter cracks use the plaster of paris
by this method: Get a rubber cup at
the hardware store, fill it half full
Of water and feed plaster of paris
into this until it ahsorbs all the
water. Allow to remain perfectly
still for three minutes. Do not
stir, as that will granulate the
plaster. With small pointed spatula
NIL your cracks with this after first
wetting the wall with q sponge and
clean water. When the plaster has
set q moment smooth the surface
with the spatula and then wipe the
surface with the wet sponge. Wipe
hard enough to make the wall alb
solutely smooth and feed the plaster
back into the crack. This sounds
complicated, but you will have no
trouble after a few moments prac-
tice. Plaster of paris will set hard

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
In my dining room I am going to
use a soft green paper with a small
leaf design in cream. The room is
rather large, though the ceiling is
low and the paper will be used
above a cream painted wainscoting.
Please tell me whether to paint the
ceiling white, cream to match the
woodwork or green to match the
background Of the paper.
VII.
Answer: Not green, because it
would reflect too much green light
into your room. I would suggest
cream, or possibly even q little
deeper. for If that ceiling is large
and low you don't want it so bril-
liant that it seems right down on
top of you. You might find that
deep cream, slightly greyed, will
keep the ceiling up where 1t belongs.
and unless the room is very dark
will complement your walls and
woodwork. Your painter will have
color charts showing ceiling shades
In relation to wall colors which
might also help. Keep in mind the
fact that large fiat surfaces of light
color may become very glaring If
they are painted too light.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have used sound-proof1ng wall
board for the ceiling in our recrea-
ton room and are eager to paint
1t to match or blend with our walls
Will the paint destroy the sound-ab-
sorbing qualities of the wall board?
If so, is there any other coating we
might use to change the color?
J. L. H.
Answer-Heavy paint. several
coats of it, will impair the sound
absorption about one-third. I sug-
gest that you use two coats of very
thin paint and think casein paint
or a thin calcimine might be bet
ter in this instance than q heavier
type.

My 10-year-old son loves any

I wish to do his room over for him

Answer-Build the room around

wallpapers that has sailing ships
and naval insignia for decoration
on a sea-blue ground. Use blue
sailcloth piped with tiny red and
white checked gingham for his bed
spread. Checked gingham. red and

ORLANDO. Fla. March 8-This
is Washington training camp that
is torn between emotions today in
the wake of an intra-squad game
that wound up with Bucky Harris
Regulars defeating Clark Grifith's
Yannigans by an 11-to-0 score.
Jubilation was in order in some
quarters. Three pitchers, Sid Hud-
son, Joe Krakauskas and Joe
Haynes, were too much for the YAM
nigans as they held Griffith's gang
to two hits. In other quarters de-
spondency was in order. The Mats
$4,000 shortstop, Jimmy Pofahl, has
weak arm and has yet to prove
that he can throw in big league
style.
The Mats today were regarding
their first official exhibition game
of the year, which is scheduled for
Sunday against /, the New York
Giants on Tinker Field. With q
one-hit-in-three-innings perform
ance Sid Hudson, who won "a games
and lost only four last year in the
Florida State League, is something
of hero around camp today. Sid
is slated to start against the Giants,
with Krakauskas and Paul Gehr-
man due to succeed him.
Has Pofahl an Arm?
The big topic around town,
though, was Pofahl, the shortstop
who has been making the Washing
ton field of Jimmy Wasdell, at first
base: Jimmy Bloodworth at second;
Pofahl at short, and Cecil Travis
at third so attractive in practice.
Jimmy has a great pair of hands.
according to the concensus here,
but unless he can throw better than
he did in the Regular-Yannigan
game, he is doomed.
HE must be able to throw better"
declared Manager Bucky Harris.
mo scout would pick up a fellow
who couldn't throw any better than
Pofahl did today. I think the kid
is just holding back"
All of which may be true, but the
fact remains that while Pofahl's
throws were Vpimpressive, the rest
of the indeld-Travis, Bloodworth
and Wasdell-looked good.
Pofahl had only few chances in
the field and while he committed no
errors he had only q few chances
and all were on hard-hit balls that
required no throwing ability.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 8.-The Ma
tional Hockey League last night saw
something that it never saw before
Eddie Shore, old Mr.. Hockey himself
playing against the Boston Bruins.
The 37-year-old veteran was ter
rife. playing one of his best games
of the year-but it wasn't enough.
The Bruins won, 81, over the Ameri-
cans as 1880 watched.
Considering the fact that Shore
was playing his third game of the
week, he was little short of sensa-
tional. But so were the Bruins.
The victory put the Bruins ahead
of the idle Rangers in their see-saw
scrap for the lead. And it left the
Montreal Canadiens, also beaten, a
mathematical chance of overhauling
the Amerks for the last playof spot.

Canadiens, 6-1.

TAMPA, Fla, March 8.-The
hardest working player in the Gin
cinnati training camp is Ernie Lom-
bardi, the goat of the last world
series. AS game as he is big, Ernie
wears the expression these days of a
man who intends to make his de-
tractors eat their words.
The slugging catcher never has
made the slightest effort to explain
what happened to him in that ludi-
crous climax to the big series, when
the Yankees bounced him around
like a rubber ball. The most he has
said was: Il don't know what hap
pened."
Probably that is the literal truth,
but 1t would have been easy for him
to have said that Keller knocked
the wind from him when they COL
ided at the plate, and that he was
a hurt man for the remainder of the
dizzy game. That has come to be
the popular theory, yet Lombardi
has done nothing to foster it.
Now he still is nursing his own
thoughts, and working like a rookie.
