MORE DOPE ON
G. /. INSURANCE

Although nearly 1000 Montana
veterans have reinstated $26, IN, 500
worth of CT insurance in the past
five months, some are permitting il
to lapse for a second time unknoy.-
ingly, announced Earl v. Lawlor.
Veterans Administration contact
representative, Kalispell.
The chief cause is confusion bv
the veteran over the effective date
of his policy A veteran reinstating
his National Service Life NAV think
incorrectly that his next payment
is not due for a full month. but
actually 1t may be due within a
week, or even a day, after he mails
his reinstatement payments.
This means that veteran who
has lapsed policy originally ef-
fective on the 18th day of the month
and then reinstates it on the 1st
will find another payment due on
the following 18th. His current pay
ment goes for his particular policy
month, even though half the month
may be past.
This excl is covered the moment
MS application, with comparative
health statement and two monthly
premiums, is postmarked, but the
VA is not permitted to change the
premium due date from the original
late of issue to the day of the month
N which it was reinstated.
LaWlor advised veterans who are
lot sure OF the effective date of the
policy to make subsequent pay
nents within every 30 days. How
yer, ne pointed out, the premium
ue notice indicates the due date of
ne policy. 1t appears above the

KINGFTSHERS ARE
FOND OF FISH

Harry (Bob) BurreI "bopped off,
a Kingfisher last Tuesday, which
was having a quarrel with three of
its mates that wished to rob the
bird of its dinner. Bob heard the
scolding and broke UP the meeting
with his % Winchester.
The wisdom of shooting the bird
was amply shown, when investiga-
ton showed a five inch trout in
the Kingfisher's bill and throat.
There are many predatory varieties
of birds that prey on the fish, which
have a strenuous time surviving
the pressure from man, beast and
fowl.

Sealburger as Change

no accounting for tastes on Antarc-

Take meat, for instance. When
Chief Commissary Steward Sigmund
Gutenko announced that the meat
diet for the duration OF the expedi-
ton would be Grade A steak five
times a week, there was shout OF
approval.
The first six weeks on board ship
and ashore here. the steak dinners

gested a few days of rest. They'd
handle the galley, they promised; ;
Just so Sig got better. It developed
that in his absence, filets mignon
would have become hamburger gen.

Chief Gutenko has, however,
promised sealburgers Just as soon as
the first young seals are brought In
from outlying hunting grounds. And
penguin breast will soon be on the
menu, too.

projectionist, has one reply to eager
inquiries regarding the nights show
ing: Duel in the Sun" The feature
may be any one of score OF differ
ent films we have on hand, starring
Laurel and Hardy, Bob Hope and
others, but as far as Jim concerned,
| it's Duel in the SUM-" The fact that
the film hasn't been released ma
tionally in the States yet is beside
the point.
Incidentally, Jim's avocation may
have other, less unselfish motives
He claims that since the protector
and sound-track system are on diff
ferent currents and involve nightly
wrestling match, he has to save his
strength. So the boys, who absolutely

draw lots to relieve Lassiter when
it's his turn to wash dishes.

bathroom condenses on the cold wall
and causes disintegration of the
plaster. The wall is probably an
outside brick wall, and takes on the
temperature Of the outside air. The
best thing to do is to put up Turing
strips on which to apply new plas-
ter or else an insulating or gypsum

ished. The defective plaster should
first be taken of. Where the wall
bulged, look for possible leakage
through the brick. Waterproofing

Plaster Cracks Around Bathtub.
Question: We are redecorating our

the bathroom plaster. 1t chips and
breaks away from the .built-in tub.
We have filled this In with plaster,
but 1t does not last long and we
have trouble again. Thank you for
any advice you can give.
Answer: Continual wetting of
plaster causes it to disintegrate. Try
to plan for wall tile around the fix
lures. In the meantime, fill the
crack around the bathtub with a
light colored caulking compound; OF
you may be able to get a special
metal moulding intended for Just
this purpose. Your hardware dealer
may know about it and order it fol-
you.

vised to use hemlock. The grain is
just as pretty, but the wood is toe
white. Is there any way to give 1t
q cedar color before vanishing?
tried oil with little maple stain,
but the effect Is too pink. Walnut
color varnish gives it too much OF
an oak or brown effect.
Answer: You might get a few
extra clean hemlock boards and try
several finishes to see which one you
prefer. A penetrating wax COM
bined with a wood stain would give
good effect, or try light oak oil
stain. II too light. use the dark oak
stain, or a combination of both.
Finish with varnish, shellac or lac
quer. But If there is a good wood
hnisher In your locality, it would
be wise to give him the job.
Crumbling Plaster.
Question: Our house is brick. Ten
years ago we built an addition, also
of brick. The lower part of the
bathroom wall Is cement, laid off in
blocks and enameled. This past
winter the plaster bulged and crum-
bled. Guess I should tell you the
walls are plastered right on the
brick. Any advise will be appre-
ciated.
Answer: The plastering should
have been put. up on lath and fur
ring strips. With the present con-
struction, the warm damp air of the

| it should be simple enough to take
all the finish OF with paint re-
mover, to be followed by thorough
washing of with benzine or turpen-
tine. Careful of fireD After
smoothing the surfaces with finest
sandpaper, the articles could be re-
painted with gold paint. A gold
leaf job cannot be done by an anna
teur.
Bathroom Wallpaper.
@. AS a regular bathroom paper
is unobtainable, can we use ordinary
wallpaper for OUR bathroom and give
1t a coat of shellac or other protec-
tive coating?
A. For bathroom I would prefer
putting up wall cloth In a suitable
design, or plain cloth which can
be painted with enamel, If desired.
If you prefer to- use wallpaper. ask
your dealer for a clear, colorless
varnish-like coating material, or else
a white dammar varnish. (Shellac
would not Jdo.) These coatings can
not be expected to last as long as
the wall cloth.

much.
Oil Stains on Cement Floor.
Question: Please tell me how to
remove oil stains from the cement
floor of my basement.
Answer: Dealers in factory sup
plies sell an oil-absorbing powder
which is quite effective on fresh oil
stains. Another method wot1ld be
first, to cover the oil with q thick
layer of dry portland cement or
powdered whiting, leaving it in place
for several days. After the powder
has been saturated with the oil,
scrape it off and repeat several times
until no more oil will be absorbed.
Later, scrub the floor with strong
solution of washing soda or triso-

lily, without adding very greatly to
the increased convenience offered
by the enlarged house. Most'of the
plans featured today, specialize In
minimum Accommodations, and many
of them do not make provision fo1
the owners later years. The plan
suggested here is excellent for the
newly married couple who like

The exterior treatment of this
house may a include, brick, stone

economical to use.
The color schemes suggested are
for a wood exterior, white walls

House Plans Drawn
To Allow Expansion
For Family Need
By w. WodswoEth Wood

The house illustrated Is an ex-
cellent example Of clever planning
along the lines of expandability.
In short, the owner may have
complete dwelling by completing
the construction which covers the
first floor and roof. He will have
two bedrooms, a living room, a
bath, a kitchen and a dining room.
At any time, and without any ma
jor structural work, he can have
two additional bedrooms. q bath
and a dressing room or, child's room
on the second floor. At another
time, he can build q porch and 4
connecting garage.
The completion Of the full
scheme will result in rather large
house which is capable of taking
care of an unusually large family.
One of the best features Of this
particular plan is that 1t provides
