Sound House Structure
lis Paramount Need

The structure of the home often
gets less attention than the exter-
nals-the finish, decoration, equip
ment and planting-because care
applied to the building of the inner
structure is not as Immediately
evident rs the niceties of the ex-
terror.
However, neglect of the basic
structure of q house is reflected
within q few years in high repair
costs as well as general deteriora-
ton of the exterior. Houses that are
soundly built from the inside out
not only cost less to maintain, but
look better longer.
1t is much more expensive to re-
pair any part of the inner structure.
if it is unsatisfactory, than the ex-
terror, because it is covered both in
side and out. Any bad performance
of the structure always damages

often even the furnishings.

thorough workmanship will pay
dividends in 4 satisfactory home

porch of brick veneer house?
Would 1t be lasting?
Answer: Although you do not
say so, I take it that the present
floor is wood. In that case, a con-
crete covering would not be salts
factory; for if it is thick enough to
have the necessary strength, it will
be too heavy for the supports. You
will do better to cover the floor
with deck canvas, which you can
get from dealer In building ma
terial, or with a kind of insulating
board impregnated with asphalt, to
be had at a lumber yard.
Basement Wall Finish.
Question: Basement walls are of
cut stone and were finished on the
inside with cement. Much of this
has fallen off and I plan to put
on new surface. Would you sug-
| geSt cement or something else?
| Answer: Cement paint, which is
| intended for masonry, would be
better than straight cement, for it
| contains binder. 1t comes in white
| as well as in colorS. Get it at a
/ paint store. Directions on the label
should be carefully followed.
Uneven Door Sill.
Question: My basement door is
cut through an opening in a stone
| foundation. The lower stone surface
/ is uneven, so that there is a space
under the door of as much as an
inch III places. This makes the
/ basement cold. How can this space
be filled?
Answer: Your best result would
be to cut the sill smooth and level
with cold chisel. One way to fill
the space would be with concrete.
| provided you leave the surface of
the stone sufficiently rough for the
concrete to form a bond. Another
method would be to screw a strip
of wood to the bottom edge of the
door.

Dreams Cause Failures
By Making Life Easy

THOSE HEART-BREAKING
letters! Letters from hungry
people, homeless people. idle,
bitter, broken people. But of
them all, the most tragic are
from the dreamers-from men
and women, boys and girls,
who've turned to dreams as an
escape. 80
Hard times can do plenty of
bad things TO human. Starve
him, turn him vicious, drive
him mad. But the most dread
full and lasting injury it can
inflict is TO turn him into a
dream addict.
But dreams are pleasant
things-they make life easy.
How can-they harm any one
They harm because they are
pleasant because they do
make life easy. So easy that
they gradually cut you off from
all life-making you unable to

The favorite OF lying on the
back on the floor and raising
and lowering the legs, knees
stiff, Is also taboo.
You can help the good work
along by sitting correctly. You
