Dear Miss NOVEL;: Is there some
thing that will take the stains of
potassium permanganate from my
bath tub? E. w. F.
Answer-So many Of the things
that will remove the stain also will
remove the finish from the bath tub.
Suggest you use oxalic acid which
you may get from the drug store.
Buy only q small amount and use
it with care as it is a deadly poison.
Place the solution on the stain, al
low it to remain a few minutes and
then wash it copiously with water.
Repeat the treatment q second time
if necessary. Do not allow this to
remain in contact with the porce-
lain for any length Of time and be
very careful that it does not re-
main on the metal fixtures as it will
stain them. Again remember that
this is a poison and should be
handled with care accordingly.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I used paint
remover to take the finish of a
small buffet and then used Shellac
on it. The shellac seems to be
streaked with white and Is not at
all satisfactory. What could be the
difficulty with this? H. v. B.
Answer-It may be that you did
not remove the paint remover suf-
ficiently and that it has made the
shellac streaky. In this case you
will have to start all over again.
Remove the shellac again, and when
the wood is clean wipe over the sur
face with wood alcohol. This
counteractS the remover and stops
its action. After an hour or so wipe
the surface thoroughly with tur-
pentine and permit this to evapo-
rate over night. Then you are ready
for the shellac. Cut your shellac at
least a third with wood alcohol, as
two or three coats of thin shellac
are much more satisfactory than
one heavy coat. Providing that your
materials are of good quality you
should be able to turn out a most
successful job.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: Can you tell
me whether or not it is safe to wash
glazed chintz bedspread? r. S.
Answer-If it is marked washable"
you may be sure that it is all right.
If it is not, it is likely that washing
it may remove the glaze and give
you a spread that looks like calico.
Also, it is possible that the color
may not be fast and the whole
thing will be ruined. If possible

leaflets informing me how to make
slip covers for an old sofa to make 1t
like a studio couch.-V. T. B.
Answer-I am afraid there is no
literature printed on the details OF
making over furniture for the sub
ject would be impossible to cover in
all it's variations. The best thing
to do would be to decide what you
wish to do with each piece and then
90 after the information on how to
do it. For instance, the organ could
be made into desk by removing the
organ machinery and finishing the
interior with small drawers and
cubby holes and planning a writing
surface. The roll-top desk could be
used again with the roll top re-
moved, which dates it, or it could be
turned into a buffet or Welsh
dresser.
Wooden beds are still fashionable
and may be painted to fit into
color scheme or have all the paint
removed and be refinished in the
natural wood. WaShstands make
fine lamp tables or small servers by
fitting a new top into them, or II
they have cabinet space below may
be painted and decorated for an in
teresting small piece in bedroom.
Use your own imagination to
create pieces which you need and re-
finish them so that they either blend
well with the things you have or
make an interesting new note Of
color in the room.

ger Joe Mccarthy of the Yankees.
Griffith is fearful of setting a
dangerous precedent in trading
the unsigned Leonard, for in fu-
ture seasons some of his more
highly regarded players might
adopt the same holdout tactics in
the hope of being traded to a
more competent club.
There is logic in Griffith's view
point, of course, but the Tigers
and Yankees also are plagued by
holdouts. If they tempt the old
gentleman Leonard is likely to 60
to the highest bidder. Pitcher
Buck Newsom of the Tigers ap-
peals to Griff, but the Tigers
would be forced to toss in another
player to get Leonard.
Third Baseman Redo Rolfe of
the Yankees also appears attrac-
tive to Griffith. The Mats claimed
Rolfe on a recent waiver list but
the Yankees doubtless will with
draw waivers on him.
The Mats, anyway, are likely to
emerge from the South with a
new third baseman. Griffith Is
unsatisf1ed with his current Es-
talella- Galle-Bluege arrangement
at third base and if Cleveland is
in the mood to part with Third
Baseman Ken Keltner and Pitch
er AL Milnar in swap for Leon
ard, the Mats bosses will listen.
Confident is Manager Bucky
Harris that Leonard will sign at
Griffith's terms. which would
mean Dutch must abandon hope
of obtaining bonus clause based
on home attendance. Dutch's love
of a dime is notorious, and Bucky
feels he'll come around before the
first payday.
Meanwhile, the Mats Cuban

Catcher Jake Early also will be

slot, with George Case again leading
off. Stan Spence will bat second,
with Bruce Campbell third, Bobby
Estalella sixth, Bob Repass seventh

Croucher's Arm Ailing.
Little Eddie Lyons, 18-year- old
graduate of the Piedmont League,
also may replace Croucher at second
base in early Grapefruit League
games. Croucher has been too frisky
in infield drills and is nursing a
sore arm.
In the span of a season Vernon
has made considerable progress.
Only after the nonchalant George
Archie and Big Jack Sanford dis
appointed here last year was Mickey
instructed to report. He wasn't an
immediate success, for on opening
day Archie was protecting the geog-
raphy in the vicinity of first base.
