Coating Basement Walls.

Dampness on your basement walls?
You might try painting the inside
walls with cement-base coating
that fills the pores in the concrete
and holds back the rain. In the
cellar, where walls are likely to be
rough -textured. this kind of water
prooflng has been very successful
and 1t decorates the walls at the
same time, so that you can get
started on turning the basement
into livable playroom or workshop.
The cement-base coating we have
in mind is intended only for masonry
surfaces. such as concrete, stucco,
brick. tile. 1t is not intended for
application over hard-wall plaster
That Is because its efficiency de-
pends upon its being able to pene-
trate the pores of masonry. Where
the wall is very porous. special mix
lures of the coating in the consist
ency of heavy gravy are applied
first to the weak spots where moist
ure is specially noticeable, with A
second coat applied at about the
consistency of canned milk If the
surface is on the hard side, wash
the wall with so per cent solution
of muriatic acid and. after four to
six hours, wash of the acid with
clean water before applying the ce-
ment-base coating.
The material comes in powdered
form; 1t is added to water in small
amounts until 1t has a paste like
consistency, and then the rest of
the water is added. Coverage de-
pends, of course, on the porosity and
roughness Of the wall The paint
costs about 20 cents a pound.

incidentally. the cabinets come in

to note that white is more popular
than all other colors combined.
Some years ago colored bathroom
fixtures were the vogue, but the
makers of this shower cabinet tell
us that the difficulty of matching
colored fixtures with paint and
enamel has made most householders
choose white, lately. Fixtures are
finished with hard. glasslike ma

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Probably If you were asked
whether you'd like steel-shingled
roof on that new house you are
dressing up you would say No
Steel, with its association in most
minds with skyscrapers and bridges
does not seem appropriate for a
honey looking" residence. however
much you may prize its durability
and fireproofness.
But the new steel shingles about
which we have just heard don't look
like steel at all. They look like
thick butwood shingles. finished in
blue. green, gray or terra Gotta. All
the metal is hidden from view, while
1t is there with its special properties
These shingles have a base of steel
with copper content. The base is
coated with galvanizing zinc and the
color coat is bonded to the gal
vanized surface in the factory. max
ing 1t permanent. 1t can be re-
painted with any good roof paint
if you wish to change the exterior
color scheme of your house some
day. The shingles weigh only about
l06 pounds square (which is
enough material to cover 100 square
feet of roofing surface. so they are
not too heavy to be used over most
ordinary sheathing.
The shingles are so constructed
that they lock together as they are
applied into continuous sheet on
the roof. They won't rattle and
rain cannot penetrate between them
They are made in two sizes. 8 inches
by 14l2 inches and 512 inches by
1872 inches, with the smaller size
particularly adapted to small homes
because of the narrow width. which
looks we'll on a bungalow Cost: No
more than other permanent types of
roofing materials. but little more
than short roofngs. of course,
not figuring on an overall, long
time basis.

Check Winter DAMAGE
Before Spring Planting

Before making plans for spring
planting, it is a good plan to look
over the assets you now have, and
be sure they are in good health be-
fore adding to the collection.
The sleet and ice which has made
our gardens a glistening fairyland
this last month has done a great
deal of damage to shrubs, small
Towering fruits and dogwood trees.
Two or three trees of this type form
the backbone of a garden and their
loss cannot be remedied for many
years. Take a good look at yours
and see If they are broken or hurt
In any way that small attention
from the tree surgeon might repair.
Attention now may save pests or
fungi entering the wound or break
and Fastening the demise of a tree
that you have tended for some time
If there is severe damage, such as
the breaking out of the whole top
Of tree it will have to be pruned
back to below the point of fracture.
Seal all wounds and scars with shell
lac to keep out infection and trim
of dangling limbs and brace droop-
ing ones until spring sap brings
them to life again.
Much of the charm Of a garden
is not in its new-looking, trim lines,
but the fact that existing trees, vines
and vista are all tied into a perfect
whole by the wise placement of
brilliant beds Of color and strips of
nnooth green lawn. When trees
are bare and gardens are down to
skeleton form is the best time to
indicate on a plan just what you
have and Just how much more you
may do 10 improve 1T.
