BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

To help conserve metal take spe-
cial care this spring to repair the
smokepipe from your heating plant
to chimney. Smokepipes made of
tin are more valuable now because
harder to replace, so everything
possible should be done to avoid
buying new ones.
Care consists chiefly of cleaning
the pipes before shutting down the
heating plant for the summer, so
SCOT and ashes inside the pipe won t
corrode it during summer damp
ness, and repairing what small
holes you find with asbestos fur
mace cement. This is the material
with which a warm-air furnace,
made in sections, is cemented to-
gether. 1t is a heavy black plastic
material costing about 10 cents
pound. 1t comes in cans, ready
to use without the addition of any
thing except water If the cement
is hard.
Take little of the cement on
putty knife and place it over the
smokepipe hole. Do this while the
heating plant is in opration, so it
will dry quickly. If the cement is
used in damp basement it dries
very slowly and may even whiten
or powder off when entirely dry.
You also can use furnace cement
to repair loose castings in the fur
mace itself, to make air-tight joints
between smokepipe sections and be-

the leaking basement, and this

Even though you select your porch
or garden furniture when the day is
cold and rainy in the spring, try to
keep in mind whether or not it will
be appealingly cool-looking on a
blistering July day. Red and yellow
stripes may be very gay, but they are
also hot-looking. The same red or
yellow interspersed with wide white
stripes Is Immediately many degrees

inexpensive Glasses
Advised for Wartime

Your fine flint glassware is going
to be very precious for the next
few years, and many of the pat
terms which you have, always been
able to obtain will not be on the
market. On the other hand, there
Is an abundance Of inexpensive
glasses, with or without colored deco
rations.
To preserve good glasses, it is sug-
gested that you lay in a stock Of
the gay little tumblers and bever-
age glasses with their accompany
ing pitchers for summer entertain
ing. Many of them cost only a
nickel a glass and may be chosen
to match your table service or your
summer table linen.

the dampness below grade In the
cellar means leakage or condensa-
ton.
Many householders mistake sweat
ing or condensation in basement
for dampness caused by leaking
walls. Sweating is likely to take
place in summer when warm, moist
air comes into contact with cooler
basement walls and water pipes.
Its cure may not be waterproofing
but better ventilation by means of
more windows or an electric fan.
If the dampness comes from ground
water under pressure of seepage
after heavy rains, it probably needs
waterproofing treatment.
With all the varieties of water
proofers on the market, 1t is difficult
to select the right type. You should
get advice from a waterprooflng

idea to know some basic facts before

Natures Children
Mountain Bluebird
(Sialia currucoides)

Bluebird nurseries are built in
hollow limbs, In abandoned wood
peckers' holes, sometimes in coy
corners of the caves of barns and
outbuildings. Some Of these charm
ing little mothers, evidently desiring
human companionship during the
long days Of brooding, build their
nurseries under the caves OF dwell
ings; others, on the contrary, have
selected abandoned salt mine shafts
as q building site.
The outer walls Of the cradle are
constructed entirely Of dried grass.
The lining is usually of few feath-
ers, fine strips OF cedar or other
grass bark, though many bassinets
are completely bare Of these COM
forts. There are from four to seven
plain greenish-blue eggs.
Bird lovers often climb high
mountains in New Mexico, Arizona,
Colorado, California and Wyoming
to hear the sweet love song of the
exquisitely clad mountain bluebird
whose spouse has chosen an alti-
