Chain Disputants Together

Strange, but effective, is the
Ethiopian method of dealing with
persons attempting to escape
financial obligations. If a creditor
feels that debtor is going to run
away before his debt is paid, the
creditor has the debtor chained to
him as measure of safety. The
same method is applied to any
pair of disputants unable to agree
over any kind of legal question.
In Ethiopia, the court room is
generally the most convenient
street corner, and any stranger
passing by is called in to be the
judge. Often the quarreling par
ties will accept the Judges" de-
cision. If not it's the chains until
both of them can agree.

JACK BENNY'S feeling that
- he hadn't been given ade-
quate publicity, and that Bob
Hope and Jimmie Durante
had, brought up a reninis-
cence about Hope. Someone
said that Hope works at it
that, if he sees four soldiers
standing on a street corner he grabs
pianist and does a show for them.
''Back in 1885," said somebody else,
Bob was doing a summer film
show, and we never could find him
when we'd scheduled interviews, be-
cause he'd be off somewhere doing
benefit. He did benefits for
churches, for clubs, for everybody

BLACKSTONE TERRACE
BY ROGER B. WHITMAN

BLACKSTONE TERRACE
Question: I have a spot in my
yard about 6 by IL feet that I want
to fix up as an outdoor sitting room
with a fagstone floor. What should
put in first and how many inches
should I dig out? I have the flag
stones and want to know if should
put cinders in first, and then lay the
fagstones on top with cement be-
tween.
Answer: Excavate to a depth Of
about 10 inches. Cinders (not ashes)
are then placed in the excavation,
rolled and tamped well to within 5
inches of the level that you have
decided on. Over this place g.
inch bed Of concrete Il part portland
cement, 2 of sand and 8 Of stone,
the stones no larger than inch).
Use no more water than necessary
to make workable mixture. Fol-
low at once with the setting mix

ment). AS soon as the setting bed
is leveled, sprinkle with dry port
land cement and lay the stone in the
prearranged pattern. The stone
must be thoroughly wet when you
set it. Point all joints with NOR
tar mix of parts sand and part
cement. The surface must be kept
damp for several days.
Water Cistern
Question: We have a cistern in the
basement which does not hold water
above the faucet level. During a re-
cent storm the cistern was full to
the top at night, but the water had
disappeared to the faucet level by
morning. We have had three diff
ferent people re-cement the walls
and floor of the cistern. During my
absence my husband put thin coat
Of cement on the outside, and it
looks terrible-but I guess he meant
well. Can you offer some sugges-
ton?
Answer: 1t is possible that your
difficulty lies with the faucet; the
constant water level at this point
seems to indicate it. If the faucet
is not used, remove it and plug up
the hole; however, if it is necessary,
remove the old faucet and replace it
with drain valve.
Piano Keys
Question: The smooth, glossy fin
ish on the ivory keys of my piano
has become very rough. What can
be done to restore the original finish?
Answer: The ivory has been worn
down, and restoration of the keys to
their original finish cannot be done
at home. A piano repairman could
replace the ivory covering. You can,
however, improve the appearance of
the keys with a coat of white enam-
ell. Rough the surfaces by rubbing
with fine sandpaper, then clean
them by wiping with turpentine. For
a first coat use an enamel under
coat or flat paint, and finish with
good quality white enamel.
Shingles or Siding
Question: Which would be the
more practical to use on the exterior
of our house, shingles or siding?
Do the shingles make a tight fin
ish, or will they become loose in
time?
Answer: Both types of exterior
wall covering are practical, and if
properly applied wood shingles or
siding should give you long service,
when protected against the elements
by paint or wood preservative. The
choice of one or the other is up to
yourself. Inspect several houses
covered with siding and shingles,
and see which you like best.

Police to Install Meters
On St. Asoph Street

The Alexandria Yellow Cab Co.
has been ordered to give up its stand
for the second time in year, and
police were directed yesterday to in
stall parking meters in the 100 block
of North st. Asaph street which the
taxis have been using since July.
Previously located in the 100 block
of North Washington street, the cabs
were ordered by the City Council to
leave that stand last July, and were
given their present stand after a
one-day strike.
The new order, issued yesterday
by Police Chief Capt. Edgar Sims,
complies with a City Council ruling
in February permitting the taxis to
remain on North St. Asaph street for
only two weeks after the city's taxi
cab ordinance went into effect
They were told to find another loca-

owners on the block had been COM
