White Floors
Improves Lighting

WHITE FLOORS for kitchens
may become the rule of the
future.
According TO a we'll known in

services have been used in many
of the new war production

tinted floor coverings provide a
better background for work than
the dark floors which we're for
merly favored because they did
not show dirt.
White floors. he points out.
improve visibility by reflecting
light upward and toning down
shadows.
As good lighting is important
TO the homemaker, especially in
the kitchen. the suggestion of
the color expert may solve a
problem for rooms which are
poorly provided with sunlight.
Light paint or light linoleum
may give just the extra visibility
which will make artificial light
ing unnecessary.

While your furniture naturally
sets the key to a rooms charac-
ter, doing a bedroom in the
modern manner-and doing it
with distinctions a real chal-
lenge to homemaker.
Drabness is often the worst
enemy of the modern bedroom,
inasmuch. as the furniture itself,
styled usually with extreme
simplicity, needs vital contrasts
in color, as we'll as fabrics with
teXtured effects. TO give it
warmth and animation.
No Monotony
There is no monotony, how
ever, in a modern bedroom that
is well furnished. In fact, when
the right pieces are selected with
accessories that make effective
use of pattern and tone, you
will find liking modern an easy
matter.
A clever balance of horizontal
and vertical stripes is one way
to give modern bedroom char
acter and charm.
In the wood pieces, for exam
pie, where pin striped walnut
may appear in attractive hori-
zontal effect on most surfaces.
the only other ornamentation
could be lines of fine ribbing
which accent the interesting
curves, both convex and con-
cave, which feature the set.
Big Mirrors Favored
Noteworthy are the mirrors
which modern vanitieS and
dresSers adopt - massive sized
rcflectors that gain the approval
of every woman.
The smooth contours of draw
eTS have no protruding pulls.
but grooves in the wood serve
the purpose with equal facility.
It's hardly necessary to stress
the utility advantages which you
will find in these modern pieces.
In these days when every sec
ond counts, who will not applaud
furniture that needs little care,
that provides the maximum in
drawer space, and is styled with
a streamlined simplicity that
spells efficiency in every line?

Painting Temperature

WHILE SUCCESSFUL re-

range of temperatures. the ideal
temperature for applying paint
is between so degrees and so de-
grees F. In the case of varnish.
many authorities recommend
that it should not be applied
when the room temperature is
lower than 20 degrees F.

bedroom suite. Probably less

Almost anything can happen In
the seven major league baseball

The two contests are part OF a

An added attraction at Boston

him for the Army squad.

two. And every one who enters

shortened further by the weather.

home run and four singles in five
trips to the plate, the Braves trailed
by one run at the start of the ninth
inning Singles by Lombardi and
Nanny Ferguson routed Earl Nay

Then Clyde KluttZ smashed
