InsuIote Floors In CeIIorIess Houses

without getting into the argu- ment about "basements versus no basements," 1t is true that one of the reasons why some home owners insist upon basements is the thought that, without them, floors will be cold.
 Here are some thoughts to con. sider on that point, says Practical Builder, Chicago. If your floor is of wood, 1t must be built 6 foot or SO above the ground for ventilation. Tn that case 1t should be heavily insulated with some form of stan- dard insulation of accepted quality. Since the space under the floor Is open to the winter air, the floor will be cold without adequate insula. ton.
 The proper way to build such 6 floor is to excavate about six inches below the floor and pour the slab over cinder or gravel fill. This helps to insulate and stops capillary ac- ton of water. Where floor and foundation meet, dirt Is excavated under the floor to . depth of about cinders or gravel. For insulation at the edge of the slab, insulating is inches and the space filled with board is usually used.

Preserve Convos With Paint

Canvas or more properly cotton luck" as it is known technically, stlll hasn't caught the boat home from the war. So 1t will be Q fairly long time before the public Is able to purchase new canvas for awn- ings and Summer furniture. The demand in industrial fields for this sturdy material is enormous and must be taken care of before any appreciable amounts trickles through to the average household CT. But shabby awnings can be given Q new lease on life if you paint them properly with paint de- vised for just such e job.
 Get the awnings out of the base- ment and brush them well on both sides. If there are holes in the caI1- vas they should be mended by cut. ting c clean edge and applying e patch to the outside of the awning. Batten 1t down securely by means of rubber cement, making sure there Is an overlap of at least one Inch. Don't put your patch on the inside as a heavy rain will rip 1t out againl Hang the awning in place and release the side arms SO that the awning will hang flat while being painted. Replace side arms while paint is still wet and then paint sides.
 Ask for c special paint ct your hardware or paint shop. You need a quart of set.fast canvas paint to do about 40 to 60 square feet which Is about the amount of can- vas in two average size awnings. This waterproof paint comes in 10 colors, plus black, white and a sil- very gray aluminium which reflects the heat away from awnings with. out creating glare.
 If the lawn and porch chairs, the hammock under the apple trees, the cushions ct the boathouse, the lawn umbrella or the canoe cush. ions look pretty worn and discour- aged, give them a paint treatment, too.
 If you've been among the fortu- nate few who actually have had rev Summer terrace and porch Furnishings delivered to your prem. ises, give these handsome new appointments c protective painting with e clear set.fast m4ldew-proof and rot-proof colorless paint. It will not affect the color but will act as c preServative to the material.

When removing screen doors and window screens from Winter stor. lge, 1t Is advisable to repair all 'loles and tears before installation, 70 prevent further damage as well IS much annoyance when the in. sect season rolls around.
 Cut Q piece of new screen wire suflcient to extend ct least one inch-on all sides-beyond the area to be patched.

 While making repairs hold the patch over the damaged area and sew or weave the unraveled wire back and forth through the screen mesh until the new piece blends with the screen, producing 6 clean job.

It would be difficult to estimate the number of people who want to build or buy new home, but who hesitate because they want their home to be @ permanent one, and feel they cannot afford to have the size house now that they will need when their family is complete.
 There are many different ways you can plan the house you are building or buying now so that 1t will take expansion gracefully, says Practical Builder, Chicago, the na. tons leading trade publication.
 The first, and probably most widely accepted method of exparl- sion is to finish the second floor ip your home. By adding dormerS up- stairs Is 1t often possible to get two additional bedrooms. If you are plahning to use your second floor in this manner. be sure to have plumbing "roughed in" for your future bathroom. It costs very

Brick Doorwoys Add Cha rnn

The charm and beauty Of old Williamsburg can be captured for many Colonial homes through the ,ise of nodded d-brick doorways, which lend Colonial Virginia au- thenticity to homes of early Amer lean design.
 The heretofore exorbitant cost entaiied in reproducing these beau- tlful landmarks of q bygone day for a special single order has been obviated by their construction now in completely assembled custom built units. Nodded. cut and carved brick doorways of the Williamsburg style may be installed easily.
 Different blends of clay permit the production of practically all intermediate tones between white and black, making possible the color matching or duplication of other Colonial brick masonry.

Many Different Ways To Plan for Future

little to install piping while the house is being built.
 If you want Q one.Story ranch type house, 1t is still possible to add wings to the first floor without diS- rupting the smooth lines of your nome, but for the sake Of practical !ty, you must plan your house in the beginning for expansion. You should remember in consulting with your builder that hall space should be planned so that future rooms can be added with an en- trance from the hall rather than from another room. A well-p planned house will give access to each room without the necessity of going through other rooms.
 Attached garages often prove tC be convertible to extra living space If your home Is two.Story ont with attached garage, rooms can be built above the garage, Or, if you don't want to invest in a garage

 Many people have found 1t feaS- ible to build or buy home with 6 small living room: then at O later date add a living room wing and convert the old living room to din- Ing room usage. Tn that way rooms can also be added above the new living room.
 Practical Builder suggests tlnat when you plan your future home with the idea of expansion in mind put in 6 heating plant at the start that will be large enough to take care of the added load. Each item you can plan in advance will re. lieve the burden later.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The Willie
Pep-Sal Bartolo 15-round bout for
the world featherweight champion
ship, scheduled for Friday night at
Madison Square Garden, was cam

The match between Pep of Hart

augger Perry Slight
Favorite Over Cagy
Ivic in Uline Bout

The question being discussed In
Washington fight circles is whether
the young, strong up and coming
Aaron Perry or the aging but ex-
perienced, smart and rough Fritzie
zivic is the better fighter. The an
swer will come tomorrow night when
they tangle over the 10-round route
In the Liberty A. G. fight show at
Bline Arena.
There are supporters for both
sides, but Perry's hackers seem to
have the edge and odds are around
7-5 in his favor. The boys look at
it this way: Perry is 20 years old,
Zivic 80, and Perry Is going up and
Zivic is going down.
Zivic's hackers are throwing out
the age question and calling atten-
ton to experience gained in more
than 200 fights since 1881. But
Perry's punch is a great equalizer
who has Zivic beaten recently?'
ask Perry's hackers, and it's a oues-
ton that hurts because victories on
Ziv!SA recent record aren't errcNsh
to offset losses to such as Joe Curcio
and Cecil Hudson, and a number
OF leSser-knowns. He beat Bill Deeg,
whoever he is and some others in
the same class early last year, but
recently he has found the going a
bit rugged while meeting local favor
ties here and there.
In any event, this shapes up as
fight Perry has to win If he hopes
to continue upward, and enough of
the fight followers around town
think he will. Should be a good

shoes, to do job for the high schoo

But Frank, later with the Depart

now, and doubts whether he will
have time for the youngsters this
year and in future years, says Dis
trict Prexy Harry G. Pitt. Pitt isn't
one to let a good thing drop because
OF one individual, even as good q
man as Frank Emmett. He has sug-
gested that Jan Jankowski, Centra,

do the job this year.
