Fitting a fourth into small apart

Fitting fourth into a small apart
ment designed for three isn't easy.
Especially when that fourth Is
newly delivered by the stork with
all the attendant paraphernalia of
bathinette, bassinette and shower
gifts This dilemma would confuse
almost any one-but add to that q
two-year lease on the apartment
that still has 18 months to run and
there Is nothing to do but think
up some magic trick to expand the
walls until such time as the lease
expires.
One trick that is not too difficult
to perform Is to make over the
existing small nursery to hold two
instead Of one. This entails more
than just tucking In another crib
as the different routines Of the q
year-old and the infant must be
considered.
A good plan is to select one cor
ner for the small child which is
not drafty and slightly out of the
traf1ic area of the room. Place the

wall at its feet which may be either
chest of drawers or a sectional
bookcase with the shelves open
away from the foot of the crib. On
the side of the open shelves may
be placed the small bed or couch
of the older child.
Holds Toys and Picture Books.
This barrier serves to shut Of
activity and light from the baby's
corner and holds toys and picture
books close at hand to amuse the
2-year-old youngster. The un-
painted sectional bookcases or
chests are ideal for this as they
are inexpensive and may be deco
rated to conform to an attractive
color scheme. Also, as they are
built to save space, they offer the
necessary storage room for cloth
ing and toys with a minimum Of
incumbrance.

Air Circulation Needed

If the top-floor rooms are hot in
the spring and summer, the first
thing to do is to see II there is
proper ventilation of the attic space
above.
Just the presence of windows is
not enough. They must be open.
Since this is a nuisance, for they
must be closed every time 1t rains,
it Is recommended that louvres be
inserted In the gable ends to obtain
good air circulation.

 45,OOO In Back Yard
 San Luis Obispo, approximately 200 miles north of Los Angeles, was a quiet residential and college town until Camp San Luis Obispo and Camp Roberts deposited 45,000 sol- diers in her back yard.
 San Luis Obispo now is mad house. For the first time in history traffic lights were installed at in- tersections. Groceries, laundries and cafes multiplied over night. Other businesses and amusement centers opened along the highway, which skirts the ocean. Soon there was a shortage of help in almost every line of work.

"The Japanese government of Prince Konoye is a last ditch stand by the moderates to slave of what they consider will be the fall of the Japanese empire" stated G. Sidney Phelps, member of the Institute of Pacific Relations, in his address last night before the Waterbury Com munity forum at the Woman'S club
 Reporting conditions as they ap- pear to him, MT. Phelps described his talk as an attempt to give be- hind -the-sceneS description of what is really happening in the Far East
 Prince Konoye became premier last summer for various interrelated reasons. It was thought at the time that the army would take over con- trol of the government, but condi- tions in China were such as to pre- clude the possibilities of such 8 move. The army had lost prestige and there was a general feeling that army commanders would not be able to control matters as rulers of the government in Japan.
 At the same time Hitler's victories in Europe seemed certain of con- tinuing, and with Konoye expressing willingness to cooperate with Ger many, he was selected as a sort oi compromise between the liberals and the army to keep the country unified.
 Speaking of the present relations of the Japanese government with the United States, MT. Phelps said Japan is far more jittery as a re- suit of the last few months of Amer ican aggressive attitude in the Fa1
