Looking Ahead
By Elem Sakes

There's a great day coming, and
that great day that many are wait
ing for is the end of the war and
the return of all the seryicemen.
With this hopefully in sight,
thoughts of future homes and
apartments are occupying the minds
of many an American woman.
Homes Of the future will be monu-
ments to the designers of the mod
ern school who have achieved the
nevitable-simple functional lines
with a great deal of styling. Small
spaces call for skillful planning if
the most is to be made of them.
Modern designers have coupled the
idea of concealment with compact
arrangement and ."wall-huggin'
and have emerged with the built
in" idea that will incorporate itself
into just about every home of to-
morrow.
Built-ins have become practically
necessity with the shortage of wall
and closet space of today's cramped
quarters. Beds, chests, bookcases
and desks can be camouhaged from
''peering eyes," if built into the walls
as part of the architecture of the
room. Expert advice from your dec
orator, carpenter or lumber dealer
in the execution of your require
ments will not only satisfy you in
the knowledge that you are getting
your work done right, but also eco
nomically. Such built-in units are
even now available through kitchen
cabinet makers. Also there are
many good unpainted wooden units
that can be purchased in the depart
ment stores and that come in diff
ferent widths and heights for your
selection.
Tomorrows home ought to be a
wonderful place to live and lounge
in. With assembly line methods
picked up during the war-recon-
verted to civilian use you can expect
the prefabricated house to come into
being very shortly after the cessa-
ton of hostilities is announced.
More space will be had in the home.
and attics and cellars will be things
OF the past. Partitions will slide
back to reveal closets which are big
ger and better and more accessible
to the user.
The home of the future will see
more changes that will not only be
revolutionary but a hundred-fold
more efficient than others which
Evening star., 1945-06-22

preceded them. Kitchens will be
dreams" of compactness and joy
to work in. There will be all-glass
ovens; plastic refrigerators with
many small compartments and
doors, and entire kitchen units in
Guiding range, sink, cabinets and
laundry tubs with the sink folding
over the laundry tray. Appliances
will be "out of sight" and in the
walls. Bathrooms as small as FOUR
by-six will seem large for they will
have the plumbing installed in the
walls and more compact units set up
in them.
Average homes will be decorated
on much higher taste level than
they have ever been, and color in
the home will be used intellgently
as well as for psychological effect.
Furniture will become more stream
lined in the low-cost fabrications,
and it is generally believed that
there will be strong swing to Mod
ern." Glass will be used in great
quantities in housing and the new
woolens of that future day will wash
as well as cottons.
Victory gardeners will not have
to give up their radishes and toma-
toes after victory is ours. For gar
dens and houses will be planned to-
gether and comfort and recreation
will go hand-in-hand with the en-
joyment of flowers and landscapes.
Modern is a growing style, and a
versatile style at that. 1t can blend
in with other period furniture as an
accessory or it can stand alone in
its own right. New materials have
given new nudge to Modern.
Since something must be the prov
ing ground for things new-Modern
has taken over the job many times,
and proved itself success. Leather
is now used in new ways, and glass
and plastics have found their place
in the sun" with Modern. This
style is the first to have recognized
the full possibilities of double
purpose" furniture. Modern living
calls for utility as well as attractive
ness. The answer is to be found in
these future improvements in new
housing and the many improve
ments that will merge themselves
with current housing.
Looking ahead to the day Of to-
morrow is exciting to think about
and will be even more exciting to
live in.

SILVERFISH,
(From Mrs. r. w., Hyattspille.) }

(FTOm Mrs. ~. w., HydttSDtHe.)
I know it's true that when you're
ready to holler, Help, help" you
turn to the RICH, and at once help
is forthcoming. I do hope the same
will apply in my case because I'm
almost frantic over my problem:
SILVERFISH.
Where do they come from and
how do you GET RID of them?
I'm practically besieged with them
and there isn't place in my house
that's free of them. I clean every
other day and houseclean thor
oughly quite often and still they
come at me almost in punches.
They are on the walls, ceilings,
bathtub, sink, closets, doors, floors,
rugs and even on a flower dish in
the middle of my dining room table.
Really I am desperate. I have a
little 5-month-old baby and I found
them in her bassinette under the
mattress and it is changed every
day and also in her bathinette.
If any one has ever had them and
exterminated them please tell me
how.
I'm sure the RICH will help me as
it has so many times before.

FEEDING BABY.

from Mrs. C. B. r., Washington
My second son, now 4 months old,
was recently cut off his am. bottle
but will continue on his 10 pm.
bottle until ready for three meals a
day. I find that he eats his break
fast better at $3.50 with a bottle at
10, which also gets him in the habit
of sleeping later in the morning. It
is easier to feed him at the usual re-
tiring time than get up over an
hour earlier in the morning. This
schedule worked very well with my
2-year-old son who still is a COM
paratively late riser.
One time saver Is to prepare
formula for two days. It means a
lot of sterilizing at one time, but
Is not double trouble.
Feeding my baby orange Juice
with a spoon from the beginning in
stead of bottle made the intro
duction later of cereal and strained
foods easier.
I will miss the RICH when we re-
turn to Chicago, but hope that my
favorite evening paper will create
a similar column.

For Mrs. c. D. T., Hyattsville: !:
Allow me to express my regret on
the loss of your canine companion,
for I, too, have known that "lost
feeling" as only one who has been
through the same experience can
know. Let me offer one suggestion,
however, which may help a little.
DON'T get the same color pet, for
this reason-there are no two dogs
alike, even in the same litter, just
as no two people, or children in
the same family have the same
characteristics or coloring. You will
be continually seeing "Petey" and
opening the wound of his loss. Don't
keep being disappointed in the new

flame can burn brightly while that singleness of aim and devotion is held. But comes diversity of views, a scramble in which everyone tries to climb over the back of his neigh bor; then nothing is won, and lot can be lost.
 So as Carson pulls his freight he wants to leave these parting thoughts with his boys. Clean-cut thinking is the key to the future, logical, precise thinking solidly based on fundamentals clearly seen and firmly held The balance will be tenuous in a world where rival scientists research feverishly to wrest miraculous secrets from the buried treasures of this wondrous universe. It therefore behooves us to walk straight and think straight and not to be swayed by every new wind of fashion.
 Eddie Rickenbacker said that if anyone could guess half the won ders that atomic energy will un- loose in the next decade, that prophet would be considered fit candidate for the laughing acad: emy by his contemporaries. So all aboard, boys, pack up your en- thusiasm, ingenuity and grey mat ter in your old kit bag and get ready for some real doings in the next twenty years.
 Keep the memory of Carson green lads, and one word more: When you guys see me all dolled up in my monkey-suit driving Radio City express elevator don't be bash ful about speaking up and renew ing old acquaintances. I know l look pretty slick in that there get up but I'd never snub an old friend, never. (Ed. Note: Goodby, Carson, you are indeed a genuine democrat, you are).

With the lifting of the wartime 35 mile per hour speed restriction and the discontinuing of gasoline rationing, it can be expected that accidental deaths caused by motor vehicle accidents will assume pre- war proportions, unless pedestrians and drivers alike are unusually careful and vigilant.
 Under wartime restrictions mo- tor vehicle accidental deaths ave ragged about 25,000 per year for 1942, 1943 and 1914. The ten-year average from 1882 to 1941 inclusive was 35,000 per year or an average 4O@6 of all deaths caused by motor vehicles involved pedestrians, namely, about 14,000 per year.
 When walking on the highways or driving a motor vehicle, always be alert.
 ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF SAFETY.

'Tis ru- mored that he up and did it. He is awful quiet lately and all little secret smiles.

Where Leo puts it is hard to say but he always looks the same. Mrs. Collela has returned to Boston and Tony is back with the bachelors. We hope not for long.

 QTUPS
By "DEE TEES"

This was intended to be dying swan act for this week as pertains to this column, but we received a reprieve at the last moment, so off we go with the hot news of the week, using cold griddle for change. Points have taken the headline at this time and we notice the various reactions on those lucky eligibles. <. Sigrist got excit- ed the other day when told to re- port down below, but he cooled off quite quickly when he found out that it was a false alarm. Better luck next time, son i. Of course we must not forget our elders who will be getting out under different cir cumstances. The front office real ly took a beating as Maxie round ed up the gang and they advanced in a most military flank movement. It did not help too much and as a result Max got an added ninety days to his army career which he had not counted on. We hope that he doesn't lose too much hair on that score. Barney Friedman is quite like the expectant mother these days while Smitty takes it in stride with cool and collected air about him. We hear that scandal Connie from Medical Supply is in the mood for suit of armor these days and we pause to reflect. .. Jamieson is back from his brief vic tory vacation and it is hoped that all goes light with the boy. The skipper got hooked for c. Q. the other night so we got hooked for the usual spiel deal in the morn ing. We suggest a recording of the voice which should be played to him alone in a closed room. Did you say torture ?? .. Flash bounced into the hospital again and it leaves Tony c. holding supply up by proverbial c string. Better keep your fingers crossed MT. IT.. 8 lbs. 13 OF. and all BABY BOY, is what makes that Kula chap look so fatherly these mornings. He's taking the day off to get to town to buy baby Richard some golf and baseball equipment as he feels that it's none too early to begin that training program. Jim Hauser condensed against the Hauser will and feels that perhaps with that "essential-need-I line" he has out that it wont be too long before he can spread that wardrobe out for two whole blocks if necessary. :. Now that the was is to the point where a guy can think of orchids again, we'll give our first bunch to the following lucky winners: to Louise Kula for that fine baby boy, to Margie Sullivan for those so so gooooood baked things that are our lucky lot to enjoy day in and day out. in farewell to the Misses Rowe and Campbell with best wishes for a good future. and to that little lady at the Vet office for that litter of little pups, the biggest beef bone on the Base... Cholly Perron put the lenses away and has settled up in his own neat fashion, making the rest of us wish we could be so on the ball Tom O'Keefe is holding out for some thing. Why, by actual count he's past his thirty-ninth some time back. We bet that the powers that be (whatever) will miss this happy home, gee, imagine not be- ing able to tell fella about his hat in his. belt or his collar to be

News while it is neWs-the BEAM reporter on the air, or given the air, according to your choice of metaphors. Yes, the sad news must now be told: Pfc. Carl Carson, bag and baggage, is hereby bidding Bradley adieu. When duty whispers low thou must, this youth replies, tI will, most certainly I will"
 Where Carl is going, and when, of course must remain a closely guarded confidence. The doings of men of moment are not to be ban died about by purveyors of gossip or idle talebearers, Suffice it to say that Carson will take his departure, after making the rounds and wish ing all the BTOs bon voyage in turn.
 It is not without regret that the scribe turns his back on the en- campment that befriended him these many months. It is wrench, but then life requires many part ings. Carson left his mother and dad to come here; not without null titudinous maternal instructions and admonitions, some of which Carl may not have lived up to in the letter (but that's quite another story).
 So many good men and true have passed through these portals that your correspondent is getting slightly lachrymose from staring down those long corridors of mem ory. And too many memories are not good for the young. "Your young men shall see visions ?: The future beckons, distant vistas allure, and Carson feels the wan derlust of his ancestors, those stall wart men who went down to the sea in ships. (Ed.

 It is a consoling thought that leave is taken when victory is in the air, when all of us are attuned to the radiations of tomorrow's new era. Now the only enemies we have to face are our own provinci- ality of imagination and slothful inertia: Progress is thing of the spirit, and not of machinery.
 It would indeed be an ironic anti climax if we fail to apply the same degree of courage and resourceful- ness toward the winning of the peace as we did so heroically in the winning of two major wars. And don't think this is a mere rhetori- cal statement War calls for a tripping of the decks, both physic- ally and spiritually, and a fine
