Watchfu|ness Advised
To Prevent Shabby,
Unkempt Floors
Wax Offers Insurance
Against Wear; Traffic
Spots Need Attention

A shabby, unkempt floor in an
attractively furnished room is as
incongruous as pair of shabby
shoes beneath a smart costume. 1t
is really not difficult to keep a floor
in good condition, but it does re-
quire watchfulness. Regular month
ly coatingS of wax will usually keep
a floor in prime condition Areas
that bear the brunt of foot traffic,
however, should be coated more
frequently. ReflniShing or touch
ing-up should follow the first sign
of impairment.
Before beginning such repair
work. the floor should first be
washed with soap and water, rinsed
we'll and allowed to dry thoroughly.
Any traces of wax should be re-
moved with turpentine or a dry
powder type of floor cleaner which
is mixed with water and applied
hot. This is available at paint
stores. Non-polishing wax ordinar-
lily may be removed with a common
household cleaner When using
water on the floor, incidentally,
don't allow it to remain any longer
than necessary or it will have a
tendency to raise the grain.
On a shellacked floor, worn spots
may be touched up without re-
finishing the entire floor, but, to
repair a vanished surface, touch
up the worn spots with varniSh
and then recoat the whole floor.
To change the finish of a floor
from paint to stain, first remove
the old paint coating with a paint
remover. Apply this in accordance
with the manufacturer directions,
then scrape away the softened fin
iSh. When the surface is clean,
wash the wood thoroughly with a
cloth soaked in turpentine to re-
move any wax left by the remover.
Next, apply the stain according to
directions on the can and finish
when dry with shellac or varnish
To reverse the process and paint
over a stained surface. simply sand
down and dust the floor. coating
any sappy streakS or knots with
thin shellac to prevent pitch from
bleeding through the final finish.
Next apply a coating of enamel

a light sanding For the finishing

Jittery Ruth, Cobb
Rest on LaureIs
0fLinks Tie
In No Hurry for PIoyoff
After Ruth Evens Set
As Ty's Putter Fails
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 28-Those two
rugged individualists, Ty Cobb and
Babe Ruth, rested on their laurels
today and with some apprehension
vaguely contemplated the distant
future when they will meet for a
third time to determine which is the
better golfer.
Right now the score is tied at one
victory each over the l8-hole route.
Cobb won at Boston Wednesday,
3 and 2, and in an eXtra-lnnlng
match over the Fresh Meadow
course here yesterday the Bambino
triumphed, l up on 19 holes.
For a couple of iron-nerved ter
rors of the baseball field the burly
inmates of the diamond hall of fame
gave a fine exhibition of debutante
iitters as they puffed, putted and
perspired for 31a hours to the amaze
ment and amusement of about 200
fans.
Each carded 43-42-85, and the
payoff came on the extra hole when
the sharpshooting Tyrus three
putted from 20 feet to give Babe
the hole with a sparkling bogie five.
Ruth had made the turn one down.
Cobb had one spectacular streak
in which he had four straight one
putt greens. Ruth contributed six
three put greens to the general
confusion.
The proceeds of the match went
to the United Service OrganiZa ton
fund. Tentative plans call for a
rubber match to be played in Detroit
later, probably much later, in the
summer.
