FILL THE AIR

No group Of drsb army huts is
this camp: otherwise II could
hardly be called Little Norway.
The frame buildings are painted
white and they're trimmed with
red, and clean curtains hang at
every window. At night. when the
lights are burning and the breezes
OF Lake Ontario ruffle the waves
and sway the wings of their teth-
cred aircraft, you may hear them
singing the songs of the Norway
that lived before German boots
pounded the streets Of Oslo.
Inside the huts may be seen
the neatness and color associated
with this clean and industrious
people. Winter scenes Of blue and
white and red hang upon the walls
Of their dining rooms. In the off
GERS mess. over the door that
looks out upon the lake, hangs the
coat Of arms Of Norway. with It's
braids Of gold and its background
OF velvet. Many times, as you
watch these young warriors loung-
ing in their chairs or moving about
the room. you see them lift their

DECIDE TO STAGE
SHOW FOR WILLKIF

Those who are in the primary
stages Of their training fly in
light Fairchilds similar to the type
now being used for the same job
by the U. s. army air corps. The
more advanced rip the clouds wide
open with speedy Curtiss P-36's
and Douglas attack bombers.
And those who doubt the ability
of these Morse hedge-hoppers may
check with Wendell Willkie. Dur
ing his recent trip to Toronto. the
famous American accepted an in
vitation to visit Little Norway.
Having been waiting months for
a good excuse to break loose, the
Norwegians decided to put on a
little show in Wilkes honor. The
memory Of 1t still moves veteran
pilots around Toronto's island air
port to chew their fingernails and
blanch.
From all reports, il seems the
Norsemen did everything but fly
their planes in and out the win
dows Of the surrounding office
buildings. A radio announcer, de-
scribing the show. hung on to his
hat and started searching for
words. Willkie and the official
party stood with eyes glued to
the sky. II is said that even the
seagulls stayed grounded until the
last Norwegian whistled In to a
landing.
A number Of Little Norwav's
flying personnel were members of
the Norwegian air force before
the German invasion. Many of
these officers fought a hopeless
battle IN the sky against clouds

Home Decoration
Convenience Is Keynote
Of Furniture Arrangement
BY VIM. X. CLARKE

THIS MATTER Of furniture
arrangement is a two-horned
problem: How to place the fur
niture to the best practical adj
vantage. and how TO place it TO
get the most possible beauty out
of each piece.
The first point TO decide is
whether your room Is going TO
be lived In or merely looked at.
Since all except model rooms
and furniture displays are pri-
marily for everyday living, con-
venience becomes the keynote of
the room arrangement.
Place the furniture where il
will obviously be accessible for
the use it was intended: An easy
chair handy to a small table and
good light, a desk set slightly
apart for the privacy Of writing,
all comfortable, lounging pieces
grouped into a conversational
circle rather than placed
rooms length apart.
Few Tricks
Each different room having its
own peculiar problems, there is
no general rule which may be
applied to all furniture arrange
ments. There are, however,
few tricks which will serve both
the practical requirements and
enhance the beauty of the furni-
ture itself.
Place all large pieces parallel
with the wall. Sofas, pianos.
secretary-desks all belong in line
with their wall background.
They are too large, too impor-
tant TO the room plan TO set at
an angle.
If your room is 50 limited in
area that they cannot be placed
any other way. these pieces do
not belong in the room. A love-
seat should take the place of a
sofa. a small spinnet replace the
grand, and a kneehole desk made
10 serve instead of the secre-
tary.

Scrub Nails
To Prevent
Breaking
BY DONNA GRACE

HAVE YOU more trouble
with brittle, dry nails at this
time of the year than during
Midwtnter or Summer? Some
girls say they do and according
To the many S OS letters there
must be lots of real trouble now.

The problem of nail upkeep is
an individual one. 1t depends
on many things. First, the con-
dftfon or ones health, the kind
of abuse given them and last.
but very important, what we do
for nail beauty.
Calcium
Diets deficient i'm calcium will
frequently mean nail weakness.
Milk is the best source of this

Strong soaps do .injure the

water. Careless drying after
washing leaves the cuticle SEN

We can do homework and
keep our nails in good condition.
Gloves and plenty OF fabrication
should be used for all work.
Broken Edges
Those whose nails show

leave off polish for a short time.
Polish doesn't injure the nails

when polish is applied it keeps
us from doing the essential daily
treatments that mean the life
of all nails. Daily care includes
a good scrubbing with a brush
and plenty of soap. This should
be done several times during
the day. followed by rinsing.
After each washing and dry
ing. take time TO massage the
tips. This removes dry surfaces

inches in diameter for the prin-
cipal corner or beside an impor-
tant chair or sofa.
A room furnished entirely
with small tables is as wrong as
a room furnished entirely with
chairs and lacking the balancing
effect of a sofa.
You will find that arranging
your room with an eye first TO
utility and convenience will al
most automatically result in
each piece of furniture showing
its individual beauty of line and
finish 10 better advantage.
With this approach to the sub
ject, the two-horned problem of
furniture arrangement will work
itself out to happy conclusion.

In the Living Room
By CHRISTOPHER BHIObb.

The living room was invented by some
idea of throwing the old-fashioned hall,
parlor, library and music room into one.
This enables members of the family to
deposit their hats, coats, umbrellas and
baseball bats, receive their guests, do
their reading, listen to the radio and talk
over the telephone in the same place and
at the same time.
The more modern living rooms fire.
quently have one end set aside for dining
AS yet there is no provision for taking d
bath, but doubtless this oversight even
tually will be corrected.
Every living room has large, COM
Portable chair popularly known as
fathers chair" 1t can be distinguished
from the other chairs by the fact that
it is usually occupied by the youngest
member of the family or the dog.
If there is also mothers chair" the
chances are that the father will be in it
The father will offer it to the mother
but she will decline it and take instead,
a small upright chair. She will protest
that she is doing this because she prefers
a small upright chair. This may be true.
since the chair makes her feel martyred.
The living room is symbolical of the
democratic nature of the American
family. There is freedom of speech. no
matter who may want to read. And
there is freedom of the press, permitting
whoever has the newspaper to interrupt
the others and insist upon their listening
to something interesting or funny. The

others, however, can get even by inter-
rupting him and insisting upon his
listening to poem or tidbit out of a
church periodical (symbolical of freedom
of religion.
Everybody is at liberty to take part in
living room discussions. This includes
offering suggestions to the member Of
the family talking over the telephone.
In other words, everybody has a voice.
But you can hear only the loudest ones.
When silence is desired in the living
room, it is customary to turn on the
radio full blast, which helps concentra-
ton. A radio, no matter how loud, does
not have to be listened to. A radio will
not reproach you tomorrow morning for
having failed to hear what it told you
so distinctly last night.

he may be entertained by the assembled
family in the living room while the
daughter of the house is upstairs adding
to her allure. She needs TO add a lot
to it after her date" has spent while
with the family in the living room.
AS the home is the bulwark of the
Nation, so the living room is the bull
wark of the home. Thanks to this first
line of defense, man may retire to his
bed at night with reasonable assurance
that the youngest member of the family
or the dog has not got into it before
him, and that there will be no sudden
rapping on his bedroom door announc-
ing that friends are about to pop in
for a call
