loupe enemy in California's I'M

Rating Boilers

Slightly more than per cent of
all the fire losses in homes during
the last year were caused by over
heating of heating plants. Over
heating, in most cases, is due to
carelessness on the part of the per-
son in charge of the equipment or
it may be due to undersized equip
ment. A heating unit too small for
the house is a fire hazard because
of the necessity for pushing it dur
ing extremely cold weather. To
size a boiler properly, the contrac-
tor must have reliable data on the
load which the boiler will carry with
safety. One of the most significant
contributions to safety in heat
ing is the uniform code for the test
ing and rating of boilers developed
bv the Institute of Boiler and Radi-
ator Manufacturers. Boilers tested
in accordance with the code carry
plate indicating their rating.

Dirt Removal Helps
Extend Life of Rug

The life of rug can be extended
or shortened according to the care
it receives. Cleanliness is one of the
first requirements for good care, as
dirt is the enemy of all pile fab
RIGS and gritty particles actually cut
the pile at its base if allowed to ac-
cumulate. There are three types of
dirt to watch for in pile rugs-sur-
face dirt such as crumbs and lint,
all-over surface dirt, and grit. Grit
causes the most damage.
Remove surface dirt from pile floor
coverings every day. A carpet
sweeper will do the trick, and so
will broom used directly with the
pile. At least once a week clean all
carpet areas thoroughly with your
vacuum cleaner-do it oftener when
needed. The vacuum cleaner does
good job if it is operated correctly.
Run the machine lengthwise of the
material, and go over each section
at least twice. This will give the
cleaner a chance to do a thorough
job in removing imbedded dirt or
grit.
If you must use a broom for rug
remember to use short,
deep strokes instead of long brush
ing sweeps. It's easy enough to take
the surface dirt off with a broom,
but you have to go after the i'm
oedded grit.

Varied Genus

Allium, the genus which includes
our common garden onion, gives us
manv flowers for a minimum of at
tention. All of the more common
members of this genus grow from
bulbs. Allium karataviense, which
produces. a bold, sculptured effect,
has broad strap-shaped leaves of
glaucous green. The reddish-purple
star shaped flowers mass them
selves in large, round ball-shaped
heads. BY way of contrast, album
schaenoprasm, familiarly known as
chives. is neatly compact, bearing
small. button-like heads of silvery
lavender flowers. Choose it for a
daintily decorative effect.

Utilize Waste Spaces
For Storage PURPOSES

The storage problem is one of not
only having sufficient space, but
having it in convenient places
where it is readily accessible. The
trend now is toward building-in
storage spaces for those things we
want to be available but out of con-
stant view. These spaces may have
a double purpose. For example,
closets fitted with built-in drawers
and shelves can replace chests.
In the wide hall that would be
equally usable if it were narrower,
storage space may be built-in along
one wall, making good use of the
wasted space. If it is long hall
and ceilings are high, the space
might be planned to have one Sec
tion for wraps, one for toys and
games, one for cleaning equip
ment and perhaps the upper Sec
tion for seasonal storage. Another
waste space often found in houses
is that under stairways. Good use
can be made of this space if it is
equipped with built-in drawers for
stormy weather accessories or,
where head room permits, a regu-
lar coat closet can be built. Such
features may be camouf1aged by
paneling as a structural effect.
Back-of-doors spaces can be util-
lied if filled with racks for shoes,
hats or ties, and shelves for purses,
rubbers and utensils. Dining room
corners can be easily converted to
good storage spots. Sloping ceilings
in upstairs bedrooms offer good
spaces for built-in drawers. Ex-
anime your own house to locate it's
inconvenience. Search out the
lsable storage space and put it to
work for you. With careful plan
1ing, convenient storage space can
De provided in almost any house.

War Criminals
Trials Wait
On Allied Pact

WASHINGTON. June 7.-UP)-
Supreme Court Justice Robert H.
jackson, American prosecutor of
Axis war criminals, reported to
President Truman Thursday on
plans to bring European war crimi-
mails, including the German general
staff, to trial.
Jackson delivered to the President
a 5000 word report on his prelimin-
ary trip to London, but unanswer-
ed the questions of when the war
crimes trials would start or how
long they would take. The answer
to this, he said, depends on the
action of other governments and
many agencies.
MANY TO BE ACCUSED
Jackson said the Allies would ac-
cuse "a large number of individuals
and officials who were in authority
in the government in the military
establishment, including the general
staff, and in the financial, indus
trial and economic life of Germany
who by all civilized standards are
proveable to be common criminals. =
He said legal charges against the
top Nazis would be divided into
three classes:
l. Atrocities and offense against
persons or property in violation of
international law, these included
the killing and mistreatment of
wounded and prisoners of war, fir
ing on undefended localities, pill
age and wanton destruction and
ill-treatment of inhabitants of oc-
cupied territory.
