Aiinq House
By ROGER B. WHITMAN.

Question: I have large areas to
be plastered, walls and ceilings The
estimate 1 received is much too
much and I believe I could do it
myself if 1 could get information
on the proper mix.
Answer: You will need to know
more about plastering than the mix
lures Printed information on the
subject can be obtained from the
National Lime Association, Wash
ington, and the Gypsum Association,
211 West Wacker drive, Chicago.
With no experience, my advice is to
have plasterer do the job. You
will run into difficulties, particularly
on the ceilings.
Locating a Fuse.
One of my correspondents writes
Of having had occasion to replace
single electric outlets on his second
floor with double outlets. With
other families in the house, he
could not cut off all of the current
in the house by opening the main
switch. The alternative was to un-
screw Lne fuses one at Clme untll
he had cut off the circuits on which
he was working. AS the fuses were
not marked, he conceived the idea
of connecting his radio to the outlets
and turning it on full, so that he
could hear it in the cellar. He
then loosened the fuses one at q
time until the radio stopped. This
was very neat solution to a COM
mon problem.
Cracking Plaster.
@. have three rooms where the
plaster is cracked. In one room it
is split at least 4 to as of an inch
in width and runs the length of the
room. In the other rooms it is
cracked where the walls and ceiling
Evening star., 1942-03-28

join. What should I use to plaster
these cracks so they won't open
again? I have used patching plas-
ter, but it cracks open again.
A. If the cracks are widened and
cut back to the lath, then filled with
a patching plaster, the repair may
be permanent. When cutting out
the crack, the opening should be
wider at the lath, so that the new
plaster will lock itself in. Joint
cracks in plaster might be success
fully filled by removing the plaster
at each side of the crack for a dis
tance of about inches. A strip of
metal lath bent to fit the joint
between wall and ceiling is then
nailed on and the corner replastered.
Hot Clothes Closet.
@. The clothes closet in my apart
ment is directly over the steam
heating stove. I am afraid this may
cause damage to the clothes. What
would you suggest?
A. I presume one OF the closet
walls is also part Of the chimney
wall and the closet is hot. If so
line the closet with a double layer
of insulating board. The first layer
Is nailed directly to the walls, then
the walls are furred out and another
layer of insulating board Is nailed
on the Turing strips.
Too Much Humidification.
@. Last summer I added humid
tfier to my heating plant. The hu-
midity varies from 80 to 40 per cent
The guide calls 40 to 60 per cent
normal. My windows steam up
considerably and the woodwork is
getting black. What should I do?
A. Your percentage OF humidity is
evidently too high. The black on
the woodwork is mildew. Shut of
the humidifer for a few days and
give the house a chance to dry out
You should turn on the humidif1er
only to the point at which the win
dows just begin to cloud over. That
is your limit.
@. There is a difference Of about
Is degrees in the temperature Of
our living room taken near the

lower part Of q radiator.
Iron Skillets.
@. Can anything be done with
cast-iron skillets In which every
thing sticks?
A. Try rendering down" lump
Of beef suet and rub well into the
iron. Wash out later with soap
and water.
@. We wish to paint the walls
Of our living room, but cannot
decide on the right color. We have
q plain rose broadloom rug, q soft
green sofa and a large rose chair
Can you suggest a color for the
walls?
A. My own preference for the
walls would be a very light shade OF

near the ceiling. Naturally the heat
goes up. Is there any simple way
Of equalizing the room temperature?

THE STORY so FAR: Joan Leland,
secretary to Arthur milford, San Fran
cisco importer, is amazed and angry
when he discharges her without notice or
explanation. Her sister Sybil, with whom
she shares an apartment, loses her posi-
ton also and Joan accepts a secretarial
position with handsome Karl Miller, night
club proprietor. He pays her well be-
cause of the unusual hours. She is fasci-
mated and accepts his lovemaking. Lat
er she meets his manager, Paul Sher-
man and his partner, Eric Strom, who
both express admiration for her. Paul
warns her against Karl but refuses to
give his reasons. Returning to the office
unexpectedly, Joan overhears Karl and
Eric in a mysterious conversation. Paul
drives her home and they quarrel over
Joan working for Karl. Later Karl in
vites her to inspect freighter, whose
captain he knows. Both Paul and Joan's
sister, Sybil, warn her against Karl.
Paul is found following her.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

: The first important woman poet
in history was Sappho. She was a
Greek, and lived on an island in
the Aegean Sea. Although the exact
date Of her birth is not known, 1t
u believed she was born about 1850
years ago.
Because Sappho was such a great
poet, or "poetess," much study has
been given to her life. Every bit
OF ancient writing that could be
found about her has been looked
over with care. Some facts about
her life are not clear, but enough
are known to give q general idea.
We are told her father had a
very long Observation-Disclosures.
In, those days it was not the Gus
tom of a child to- take the name
of the father, so the little one was
called simply "Sappho," and not
sSappho Scamandronymus."
+ Sappho's father died when she
was only 6 years old. Records do
not tell how long her mother lived.
The child belonged to "a family Of
high rank" and very likely was
taught to read and write at an early
age.
The first poems Of Sappho prob
ahiy were composed when she was
Tn her teens" While still quite
young, she was married. One of

Born-Borne

"Her sorrows were born in silence"
No. Best usage restricts born" to
the meaning Of having been given
birth to-" Better say: Her sorrows
were borne in silence.
Wrong: HE was borned in Cali
fornia." This Is a common error.
DO not add "ed" to born to form q
past tense, for born itself is the past
particle of the verb ito bear" as
also Is borne. Better say: He was
born in California.
Wrong: "She was born by a
mother Of Spanish blood" No.
When followed by the word by
the correct form to use is borne" p"
Therefore. she was borne by a
mother of Spanish blood.
Note. Born and borne are pro-
nounced differently. The vowel
sound of born Is the Jaw" as heard
in corn, horn, morn. Say: bawrn.
The vowel sound of borne is zoe"
as in hoe, roe, toe. Say: boern.

-Suppho Holds Place as Pioneer Women Poe'

One account says that she Travelled
to the distant island Of Sicily,
southwest of Italy.
The people Of her native island
of Lesbos are said to have set up
q monument in her honor after she
died. Yet 1t is not certain whether
her death took place there or In
Sicily.
One writer declares that another
woman named Sappho lived on the
island Of Lesbos at almost the same
time. He adds that certain stories
about the other Sappho have been
mixed with the life of the poetess.
One such story speaks of Sappho
falling in love with q young man
named Phaon. Since he did not
return her love, she climbed q high
cliff and plunged into the sea. For
long time, that story was told
as the, truth about the poetess, but
modern scholars think 1t Is only
a myth, or else an event in the life
Of different woman.

for her husband.
A daughter named Cleis was born
to the couple, but within q year
or two afterward Sappho was sad
dened by her husbands death. In
the time which followed, she wrote
many poems, and this perhaps
helped her to recover from her
sorrow.
The later history of the famous
poetess Is less clear than her early
life. 1t seems that she spent some
years on the mainland Of Greece.
