Condensation from the toilet tank
these torrid days presents a con-
slant worry to the home -oWner In
the eventual damage that can re-
suit in the rotting of the bathroom
floors, the loosening of floor fixtures
and discoloring of the surface area
Condensation or perspiring toilet
tanks also cause the housewife con-
siderable breaking labor
A manufacturer has made and
placed on the market a toilet tank
tray which catches all this con-
densation dripping and syphons 1t
off into the toilet bowl via a small
rubber tube.
Each toilet tray has two notches
in it which permit the tray to slide
beyond the water intake and outlet
pipes and is fastened by means of
a metal strap with four screws and
nuts around the outflow pipe.
The tray has a slight depth which
gathers the moisture and directs its
flow through small flexible rubber
hose into the bowl. These toilet
tank trays are simple to attach and
fit almost flush with the bottom of
the average six gallon 20x7 inch
tank, or the 22x7 inch, 8-gallon
tank, or the free standing tank
They are finished in either heavy
gauge steel enameled. lightweight
steel enameled or in aluminium.

Expert Expluins
How to Combat
Roof Condensation

By Roger G. Whitman

Question: Many OF our clapboards
were rotted and had to be taken
out and replaced. The carpenter
thought that the trouble might be
due to condensation in the wall
insulation. The roofer said there
were no leaks in the roof. Would
you give us your opinion?
Answer: Condensation often oc-
ours in the underside Of the roof
during the winter season, and
freezes. Then, when the weather
moderates, the ice melts and runs
down the inside of the walls. The
remedy is to install ventilating
louvres, allowing at least one square
foot of opening for each 300 square
feet of attic floor space.
In some homes when the house
air is extremely moist during the
heating season, heat and vapor find
their way into the walls, where
vapor may condense. This may
occur in any frame wall, insulated
or otherwise. The remedy is to
cover the plaster of the walls fac
ing outside with an oilcloth type of
wall covering or with two coats of
aluminium paint. The walls can
then be painted to match the other
walls Of each room. The plaster
ceilings under the attic can be
treated in the same way to keep
the damp house air out of the attic.
Textured Walls.
Question: Our walls are finished
with q water mixed, textured wall
coating. How can I remove this
SO that I can paper the room27
Answer: To take off this type of
wall finish, cut through the paint
by rubbing with a very coarse sand
paper wrapped around a. block of
wood. Then soak down the walls
with hot water to which add fair
amount of household ammonia,
about cupful in a pail of water.
After Is minutes or so the coat
ing should be soft enough to scrape
of with a wide blade scraper.
If not, soak it down again with

Social Security
 Representative To Be In Nome

Edward Paluska, representing the Alaska office of the Social Se- curity Administration, expected to arrive in Nome Wednesday, No vember 10, to remain several days. He will most likely arrive on the Pan American Sunday.
 All persons who have any ques- tions or wish information concern ing Federal Old-Age and Surviv- ors Insurance should make every effort to contact MT. Paulska while he is here.
 1t is particularly important that men and women who have reached the age of 65 years, and who have worked in employment covered by the Social Securiety Act, take this opportunity to in- quire regarding their individual benefit rights. MT. Paluska points out that the Social Security ad- ministration is anxiuos to protect the interests of all workers and their families, but that nothing can be done unless workers who reach the age 65 make sure to con- tact promptly the social security office. A signed application must be filed before any payments can be made.
 It is also important that the families of deceased wage earn CTS make inquiry as to possible Old-age and survivors insurance benefits immediately after the death of the worker. Each year, thousands of dollars in cash bene- fits are lost by American workers and their families solely through delay in contacting the social se- curity office.
 MT .Paluska can be reached at the Wallace Hotel during his stay here.

Detection Of Fraud
In Job|ess Claims
Cited al Conference

Thousands of dishonest claimants
to unemployment benefits manage
to steal hundreds of thousands OF
dollars a year-until they get
caught.
This was the statement yesterday
to the Interstate Conference of En-
ployment Security Agencies by its
Technical Subcommittee on Fraud
Prevention and Detection. The SUBJ
committee added that more and
more" dishonest claimants are be-
ing caught.
The conference is an organiza-
ton Of State unemployment insur-
ance and employment service ad-
ministrators.
In addition to preventing fraud
through strict control of claims, the
report described these three means
of fraud detection:
An arrangement whereby each
employer rotifies the State agency
whenever he hires anybody. In
this way any attempt by a claimant
to continue on the benefit rolls
after he is re-employed is discovered.
A comparison of reports of work
ers earnings with agency records
of benefit payments. Employers
regularly submit earnings reports
when they pay Unemployment con-
tributions to the States.
An inspection of an employers
payroll records to check its names
against those on the benefit rolls.
The report said clippings Of news
paper articles dealing with convic-
tions in cases of fraud, displayed
in Offices frequented by claimants,
helps keep other claimants honest.
The fraud report was prepared
under the direction of Samuel c.
Bernstein of Illinois, chairman of
the Unemployment Compensation
Program Committee OF the organi-
zation.
