Accidents in Home
Largely PreventabIe

Home is supposed to be the safest
place on earth, and with some at
tention to safety factors there is no
reason why it should be anything
else. Most of the accidents-and
many of them are fatal-which oc-
cur at home might be prevented If
some one had made provisions for
safety.
If your 2-year-old son makes a
habit of leaving his blocks. cars
and marbles on the stairs, build him
a toy box or cupboard and make it
a game that it is his very own to put
things into-as we'll as take them
out.
If you find the cook or grandma
stepping on spindly chair to reach
the high cupboard in the kitchen,
invest in sturdy kitchen ladder. or
better yet provide storage space
within reach of the floor.
If the basement or the attic stair
are without handrails or protection
on the landing, provide it immedi-
ately before some one falls. Maybe
the family is careful-but If the rug
storage man or the utility meter
reader falls on your stair he will
have every right to sue you for his
injury.

and elaborate, they flt perfectly with
natural pine doors, cabinets and
wall panels. Made of black iron,
they look handwrought, although,
of course, they are not. They could
not be and sell for the prices they
do. A butt strap hinge, for instance,
with hand-hammered edges, such
as you see in the cabinet pictured
herewith. costs about 81 a pair.
Hinges range in price from so cents
to $3.50 a pair, depending on size,
and whether hand-hammered or
plain surface. Latches with brass
knobs run from 40 cents each to 80
cents for those with steel knobs.
Just to prove they are not addicts
to the Early American tradition, this
same maker also produces hardware
for rollup garage doors and window
spring bolts for anchoring weight
less sash, such as are found in really
old houses. The combination OF
faithfulness to the old and aware
ness of the new probably explains the
attractiveness of their hardware.

Something need mending? A
crack in the wall tile Of the bath
room, perhaps? Or a dent in the
woodwork in the living room? Are
you planning to refinish floors soon,
and want to fill in those deep
scratches Junior made with his
bicycle? We know the material to
repair all of these.
1t is new plastic material which
fills and mends. 1t is made by peo-
pie who for years have been manu-
featuring art and molding clays,
and, indeed, the new material may
be used for modelling and craft
work, too. But is practical ma
terial for doing dozen odd jobs
around the house.
In the first place. it comes from
the tube in the right consistency,
and it comes in 10 colors. 1t is nom
inflammable, easy to apply, needs no
special thinner, and adheres to any
clean surface. We tried it out ON
cracked stone in the foundation of
our house. 1t dried to touch in
few hours, and although we used
the wrong color-in a spirit of ex-
perimentation-we have not been
able as yet to remove it to put in
the proper gray.
When the material has dried, say
its makers, the surface should be
rubbed down with fine sandpaper or
No. 90 steel wool, and then a coat
OF clear varnish, lacquer or shellac
applied. You may paint over it,
but If you are more careful than
We were about matching the color
Of the plastic itself to the material
it is mending, you won't need a COL
orful coat on top Of it.
The material is really a plastic
but it is also a powerful adhesive.

heating system, here's an idea for
you. You can install new kitchen
heater which burns either wood or
coal, without spelling the up-to-
date look of your kitchen. For one
OF the leading makers of electrical
equipment mas come out with a cir
culating heater, styled to harmo-
nize with equipment in a modern
kitchen. 1t is a far cry from the
pot-bellied coal or wood stove, in
its neat white porcelain enameled
cabinet which matches In height
the electric range made by the
same company. In fact. installed
side by side with the range, it looks
like an extension of the range itself.
The f1ue OF this heater comes
through the top at the back instead
of out of the back, so the large.
unsightly elbow of the stovepipe
may be eliminated. The heater can
be placed flush with the wall, Just
like the range, thus conserving
space.

The department. acting under
