Small tables are one Of the most
necessary furniture items for COM
Portable living. Nothing quite takes
the place Of q little table that Is the
right size and height and right
where it should be. It need not be
expensive or elaborate, but it should
be In its proper place.
The chair-side table which holds
the evening paper and smoking &C
cessories may be light and fragile.
Made of light wood and stained
maple, mahogany or walnut to match
other furniture, this small table may
be bought for as little as So. Sim
liar ones in nests of three are espe-
cially useful, as they may be placed
before each chair when entertain
ing or pulled out to their three
widths, hold lamp, flowers and small
accessories on the terraces.
Pairs of tables with small drawer
or a commode or small chest with
three drawers are excellent at the
ends of the sofa. The drawers are
useful for many small items and
lamps may be placed on top. If one
does not care for twin tables one
commode may be balanced by nest
of tables at the other end, but both
items must be Of the same height.
Useful at Dining Table.
Now that most of US are doing
our own work, small tables to be
used beside the dining table are
helpful. The three tier muffin stand
can hold a complete salad or dessert
course ready for serving as soon
as the main dishes are removed
A table on rollers, similar to the tea
wagon of Is years ago also Is USE
full at the dinner table, or it may
be used as portable breakfast ia
BILE complete with coffee pot and
toaster and wheeled to the beside
or fireplace.
A useful and decorative table may
be made of large tin tray
placed on a luggage rack. Set be.
tween two chairs, it Is a convenient
height for the sewing basket, ane
the colorful tray is a decorative
note of color in the room. The lug
gage stand also makes an ideal gift
for the guest room and keeps heavy
bags from upholstered furniture.
There also are many small ta'
bles of unpainted wood which ma!
be painted in gay colors to poin
up the color scheme of room
Clear lemon yellow end tables with
shaggy yellow rug placed under
coffee table to make sofa groul
interesting may be the finishing
touch to a smart decorating scheme
Chinese lacquer red lamp tables with
touches of the red in lamp shade
and small accessories about th'
room will point up monotone back
ground.

AS wartime measure to conserve
critical materials and labor, the
American Womens Voluntary
Services has inaugurated a train
ing course on home repairs. Fol-
lowing carpentry, practical painting
was presented during instruction.
The significance of paint in con-
serving wood, metal, and other ma
terials vital to Americas war effort
was stressed in the course.
Screens, mentioned specifically as
increasingly hard to replace in the
home, should be painted regularly
Printed linoleum with worn off pat
tern can be saved from discard with
new color, for its surface is ideal
for repainting. Inlaid linoleum
should be protected against wear
and tear with a clear coating of lac
quer or varnish.
The useful home life of many
small metal objects can also be
greatly extended by painting-for
example, cannisters, waste paper
baskets, trays, lamp bases and other
household accessories.
OF exceptional Importance as re-
CARDS conservation are window sills,
porches and porch steps, which are
particularly subject to early weather.
ing If water penetrates into or
behind the wood, a difficult repaint
surface is formed and perhaps car
pentry repairs are occasioned.
There is thrift and morale value
Of paint in bringing fresh color to
home interiors and in renewing fur
niture finishes.
Important painting dos and
donts, listed for the AWVS are:
Don't open the can and dip right
In, read the directions.
Don't use a wall paint for floors
nor a screen paint for walls, nor q
strictly interior product outdoors
use paint for its intended purpose.
Don't paint near an open flame

The Home Clinic
Small TobIes Are Among Most Useful
Articles in Furnishing Home

Of the best and most inexpensive
ways to provide one is to purchase
an mpainted kitchen table and cut
the legs OF at the desired height
The table can be painted and deco
rated to 60 with other furniture in
the room. A top of unoleum or cork
cemented in place, will make the
work area practically indestructible
There also are exquisite small ia
bles which make ideal house gifts
These are naturally as costly as
their fine workmanship demands
Nothing completes room as one OF
two small pieces such as lamp ia
bles, small chests or glass-topped
collection cabinets.
In furnishing the house don't in
vest entire budget in sofas or chairs
Reserve a small part of 1t for the
little things which spell comfort.

Use Of Clay Products
In War Building Urged
In'Lumber Shortage

Defense homes, barracks, ware
houses and other wartime projects
cost little more If built of brick and
tile than those of lumber, the
Structural Clay Products Institute
announces following q cost COM
parison survey.
The institute said the lumber
shortage which threatens to delay
many war construction projects can
be offset through the use of brick
and tile substitutes.
Records of recent projects show
that, in many localities, the Diff
ference Is as low as 4 to S per cent
in favor Of wood.
The lumber shortage is estimated
at 5000, ,000, 900 to 5000, ,OOO, 900 board
feet for the next IL months and
may become still more acute If the
construction program is stepped up
Several large projects, including
the WAAC Camp at Fort Des
Moines, already have been con-
structed of brick and tile, and many
Of the naval air training stations
and air bases also have been built
of clay products.
In addition to saving large
quantities of lumber, nails and other
critical materials, brick and tile con-
struction permits an important
economy in railroad transportation
1nasmuch as many of the country s
300 clay products plants are located
close to defense areas, thus requir-
ing only short haul from manu.
facturer to the construction site.

| Advised to Paint
GARBAGE Cans

The once lowly garbage can, In
the light of present-day shortages
of metal, has now become a rela-
lively precious possession, which, il
once lost, is likely to be irreplaceable
for the duration, and considerable
time thereafter.
A large steel company is recon-
mending to owners of such contain
ers that they Immediately clean
their cans, thoroughly removing all
grease, dirt and rust, and then re-
finish them, both outside and in
side. Be especially careful to paint
the outside bottoms, which fire.
quently are in contact with wet
earth, and the covers, which are
exposed to the action of the ele-
ments.
Such attention, if properly done,
will protect the cans from rust and
corrosion. Otherwise, the bottoms
may soon corrode and drop out,
leaving the owner canless. It is
further recommended that the cans
be placed on boards or otherwise
elevated above the ground, as a
further protection against corrosion.

The streamlined chests, with
their horizontal lines blend into
the wall color scheme and are so
carefully scaled to fit various wall
spaces that they give maximum

The most attractive hand-tufted

sign. Though they are soft green

Furniture designed in perfect
scale combined with walls and
fabric in a two-tone effect can
create a feeling of great space in
a small room. It is not the feet
of space that counts, but the inch
or two saved here and there that
makes a room pleasant and COM
Portable, or Just inconvenient.
This bedroom is very little larger
than the 9 by II rug that covers
the floor. The fact that there are
few breaks in either the con-
tinuity Of the lines or the color
helps to give a much larger effect.
The fawn-colored rug with dag
onal stripe fools the eye by making
it travel long line. The blond
furniture, upholstered in plain tex
tured fabric, adds color but with
out too prominent pattern.

Core for Luwnmowers

Lawnmowers frequently are put
away in the fall while damp, q prac-
tice which Is likely to render them
dull and hard to push when spring

well oiled, and the remainder of the
mower checked before the machine

into all attack plans: observation units, to
penetrate camouhage and spot hidden posi-
tons; bombers, to hit front-line positions
during beach attacks, to block reinforce
ments and blast strategic points in the rear;
fighters. to cover landing parties. Constant
practice has co-ordinated air and ground
forces into powerful team.
Other members of this team are the para
chutists and the new Marine Corps glider
troops, who will serve as the spearhead of
assault. The size of this new glider force is
secret, but it can be said that the aerial
troop carriers will be used on a large scale.
All invasion steps - reconnaissance, con-
voys, sea. air and land attacks - are inter-
connected with the precision of jigsaw
puzzle.
Jap successes have resulted from years
OF such planning - equipment. tactics,
timing. Each area was minutely studied by
spies. America has employed no underoover
agents, but the Marine Corps has ways of
obtaining vital information.
Maps, photographs and reports are
secured from every reliable source. The
Marine Corps keenest strategists have
mapped out the plans, plans for victory
with minimum losses.

will be flashed:

bic. The Marine Corps transports are loaded

bombers howl down now, replacing the bar
rage, smashing the beach defenses.

tillery and armored cars
Behind the Jap lines, waves of parachut-
lists are dropped at strategic points. BY the
time the first landing party reaches the
beach. the chutists will probably be in
action. Striking at Jap airfelds, dumps,
roads, communications, they will create
havoc, may paralyze all enemy reinforce
ment. Troop gliders loaded with Com
mandos," will then concentrate on disrupt
ing enemy rear lines, hitting at bridges,
headquarters, communications, airfelds
Another force may land on separate beach,
to flank the Japs. A third unit of glider
troops may reinforce the first assault wave
Last-noment orders, by radio from COM
mand plane, will enable their use at the
most important spot.
If Jap air defenses can be quickly Grip
pied, the fleet will move in closer and turn
its big guns on distant rear lines. 1t won't
be long, then, before the landing force will
have gained control. Then holding force
can take over, releasing the shock troops for
similar attacks on other islands.
That's the pattern. It's a tough job at
best - and the Leathernecks know it. But
they also know that they're ready. Perhaps
