baseball team was laying its
strategy today for the clutch"
battle in the Border Cities
League against Crosse Pointe,
there tomorrow.
A win in the game will give
the BatherS a sure part of the
conference crown, which would
be the first ever won by city
high. At the same time, it would
be the first loop title for Mount
Clemens since the Fall of 1910,
when Coach Ernest Buckholz'
football machine marched unde-
feated through loop opposition.
TIED WITH FORDSON
Fordson high school of Dear
born also has a record of seven
wins against a pair of losses and
should city high win while
Fordson lost its final tilt, it
would mean sole possession of
the, title for the locals; the sit
uation, however, could work as
well in reverse.
Only defeats for the Bathers
came at the hands of Fordson,
81, and Monroe, 4-3, the lat
ter winning when the city high
erS booted the game away.
Scheduled to pitch tomorrow is
Lyle Bliss, credited with win
ming six of the locals seven vic
tories. The Bathers handed the
Mlllionaires a Al loss in the
first meeting of the two schools,
but their scheduled second en-
counter was rained out and to-
morroW'S clash is a postponed
tilt, the final clash for Coach
BuckholZ' crew, which will be
rounding out its 10 game -
twice around-loop card.
VICTORY CHANCES GOOD
Chances for a victory were
adjudged as good today if Bliss
had his customary control and
speed. At one time this season,
he won four games in II days
and Fridays six-inning stint in
the 202 rout of Royal Oak is
not expected-to bother him. The
bat Of Jackie Sierens, current
ly leading the Bather hitters
and possessor of the only home
run hit either by the locals or
by one of their foes this season,
is expected to help carry the
Bath City crew towards a share
in the championship.

Era Of Skyscrapers
lis Declared Over

The era Of the skyscraper is over,
according to Harvey Wiley Corbett,
fellow of the American Institute Of
Architects and designer Of many
notable structures in New York and
other cities.
Under the revolutionary condi-
tions Of the future, buildings will
weigh only about one-third of what
they do now, declares Mr.. Corbett,
who was chairman of the Architec-
tural Commission of the Century Of
Progress Exposition at Chicago and
associate architect Of Rockefeller
Center.
"Skyscrapers are not q necessity
from any point of view and they
only cause undue congestion in the
streets wherever they are grouped, I"
Mr.. Corbett points out. Certainly
in an air raid it Is easier to think OF
people getting down to earth from
q five-story building than it is from
q 50-story one. 7 used to be a strong
advocate Of skyscrapers. but have

Floors all through the house
probably are looking sad these days
and they can affect the appear
ance of the entire house. This is an
excellent time to go over them and
keep them in good order until
spring.
For most hardwood floors a good
cleaning with steel wool and gaso-
line to remove the gummy wax that
has picked up so much dirt and dust
will make a great difference.
Try to select a bright day for
this and open all windows. A
handyman can clean all the floors
in a six-room house one day and
wax them the next. One may feel
a new coat of shellac is needed in
worn places, but as it is very diff
cult to apply shellac in spots with
out leaving overlapping marks we
suggest instead an extra coat Of
wax.
One good machine application of
wax now should keep floors in good
order until May. Three times .
year sho,lld be plenty for an "all-
out" waiting, with attention to the
heavy-duty areas by hand waxing
every week.
Secret Of Floor Care Is Wax.
The secret Of a good floor is to
keep it protected at all times with
wax. A thin coat is always much
better than too much wax at one
time and the hard rubbing Is what
really makes the difference, as it
makes the surface hard and glass
like.
If the bathroom floors are drab
when they should be bright and
shining try scrubbing with one of
the heavy duty soaps. This must
be done carefully, as it will remove
paint or varnish if permitted to
stand any length of time To make
tile floors look like they were laid
yesterday 1t cannot be surpassed.
In cases of old tile floors which
are stained and soiled a swabbing
with muriatic acid will brighten

them again, bringing out all natural
color and cleaning the surface. This
rough treatment" should not be
applied to new glazed tiles. Be
careful to use a stick with a swab Of
cloth tied to the end of it for this
application, so that it will not come
in contact with the hands, and keep
it from any painted surface. After
acid has been used and wiped up
the floors should be scrubbed with
soap and water.
Stone. cement, tile or brick floors
that seem dusty may be frightened
by wiping with paint remover. This
will clean them and bring out their
color. After that they should have
about three coats of wax, which
keeps the surface sealed against
dust and makes them easy to care
for.
How to Brighten Floors.
If you have q dark kitchen or
recreation room with cement floor
you might try the old New England
custom Of spatter dashing to
brighten 1t up. After the cement
floors are prepared-which process
depends on whether or not they
are old or new floors-a good base
coat of cement paint is applied.
This may be any color, but gray,
yellow or tan makes the best back
ground.
Next tack newspapers around the
room covering the Dashboard and
lower part Of. the walls and doors.
Then you are ready for the spat-
tering. Paint a second ground coat
over a section about a yard square
and then in about 20 minutes dip q
whiskbroom into the spatter color
and tap the broom so that drops of
the color spatter onto the painted
section. Then repeat on the next
area. The spatters being put on
before the ground coat is dry fuse
with 1t and do not wear of.

Cleaning Fluid Advised
For Washing Curtains

If you dislike ironing the ruffles
on your rayon curtains, it will save
time and effort and keep the cur
tains looking like new by dipping
them in cleaning fluid.
Two gallons of fluid will fix up six
pairs of curtains with some left over.
The best plan is to divide the fluid
in half. Wash the curtains first IN
one basin and rinse them in the re-
manning fluid. Hang them in the air
to dry and if care is taken to place
them at the windows as soon as they
are brought it, it will not be neces-
sary to press them. Return the
fluid to the container, and the next
time a cleaning job is necessary you
will find that all the dirt has set
tied to the bottom of the can and
the fluid is ready for second duty.
