Just about average for that age

Whatever the cause, there's no
question that the community has
children galore. Today there's a

Adjustable Jacks
Lift Sogging Floor
To Correct Level
By HiIson Munsey
By HiIson Munsey

Sagging floors often cause trou-
BILE in places that are not directly
connected with the floor. Windows
and doors that stick can frequently
be put right if the floor Is brought
back to its original position. Plaster
cracking, sagging roofs and squeak
ing floor boards are other troubles.
Such floors can be brought back
to correct level with special steel
posts that act as lifting jacks. These
posts are made in three sizes: One
for full sized basement, another
for homes with cellars and third
for use under the porch These
give a size range from feet inches
to feet s inches. Each type is
sufficiently adjustable to suit the
purpose for which the post is to be
used.
Those posts consist Of five parts:
the bottom plate, top plate, outside
and inside telescope parts and the
screw assembly. These parts are put
together on the job.
FlfSJ the DaSe plate Is put IN posi-
ton and the outer telescope upright
is placed in it. The inner tele-
scopic part is then raised to within
few inches of the beam and a pin
Is slipped through both posts, which
are provided with holes for that pur-
pose. Another pin is slipped through
the inner part of the post at the
point where it joins the lower part.
This pin will rest on the lower
casing Of the post. Then the screw
assembly is fitted. The top plate
goes on the screw assembly. The
lifting bar is then used slowly tt
raise the screw and top plate unit
the plate starts to raise the beam
The beam must not be raised tc
It's normal position Immediately
Half turn of the bar each week is
sufficient. This allows walls and out
Of alignment windows and doors to
return to their proper position with

lack of criminal work, however, they

But even there, things are under

towns existence, fire damage has not
yet reached total of $1,000.
You may ask, then, what do they
do? Town Manager James T. Cob
bel insists they keep busy.
Plenty of Visitors.
"You know. we're on main high
way, and have lots of visitors" he
says. The joking implication, of
course, is that the out-of-town peo-
pie are the big problem.
At any rate, Greenbelt residents
are proud of their town and want to
do something to show 1t. So next
Saturday they are going to have a
big, old-fashioned, day-long festi-
val.
But that's not all. The festival is
Just to be the forerunner of two

1t is % years old, the glass is like

Answer: A professional restorer
of antiques could do the best work
on it. If you wish to try it yourself,
rub gently with powdered chalk
moistened with denatured alcohol.
If bleaching is necessary, wipe the
ivory with a mixture of l part
peroxide of hydrogen and 2 parts of
water. Several treatments may be
needed.
Insulation Question.
Question: We are having the
plaster taken off our ceiling and also
are disposing of an old mattress.
Would it be possible to use the stuff
ing of the mattress for insulation?
Answer: I should not advise it.
There probably would not be enough
of it to do a good job, and the
chances are the material would
prove to be a fire hazard and would
be unsuitable in any case. 1t is
always best to use a top-quality,
standard brand of insulation and
apply it correctly, according to the
manufacturers instructions.

Question: My house Is made of
cement blocks with a stucco finish.
I have trouble in keeping wallpaper
on the walls on one side Of the
house. I painted these walls with
one of the new cold water paints,
but that also peeled off. What can
I do to keep some kind of finsh on
the walls?
Answer: I make the guess that
your inside plastering is applied
directly on the masonry walls. This
construction would cause enough
condensation to make the wallpaper
fall off and paint peel. The best
thing to do is to put up lath on
Turing strips. on which you can
either apply plaster or else an in
sulating board. This will give an
air space between the inner and
outer walls. To make your house
more comfortable, fill the spaces be-
tween the studs with a bait or
blanket form of insulation.
Repairing Brick Sidewalk.
Question: Some of the bricks In
the walk in front of my house have
been torn up, leaving a space about
4 feet square, and next to the curb.
Could you tell me how to relay these
bricks? I want to do the job myself.
Answer: The bricks should be
laid in a cement foundation. With
out this precaution the bricks will
heave in winter with freezing and
thawing. Over a bed of well-tamped
cinders (not ashes 6 to 8 inches
thick, depending on soil drainage,
lay inches of lean concrete, mixed
l part of portland cement and 8
parts of clean building sand, adding
only enough watef to make a stiff
mixture.
