AttictoCeIIur-
Chief Asset
Of Any Home
Is Comfort
By Betty Trsxler

Homes are to be lived in, not just
looked at-so, when decorating your
home, make 1t as comfortable and
inviting as possible.
Always important. the home in
these times is even more impor-
tant-and 1t should be one place In
which we can really relax and for
get outside troubles.
Your home doesn't need to be like
a hotel-sparsely furnished and cold
in appearance. It should look warm
and "lived-in."
And don't be afraid Of little
clutter. Books or magazines out OF
place certainly won't harm any one.
In fact, they add some charm to the
old place.
If you like walls covered with pic
lures, by all means tack them up.
The same goes for plenty of other
accessories. Put them out where
they can be seen and enjoyed.
Who's to say what's right or
wrong? Don't be afraid Of the un-
orthodox. If you have your doubts
that a professional decorator might
throw up his hands in horror, just
remember that many decorators, no
matter how many formal, plush
homes they decorate, prefer infor-
mality and clutter" in their own
homes. They'll combine modern
with traditional and anything else
that suits their fancy.
So, whether you live in one
room apartment or spacious home,
make 1t a real" home. Make 1t
Just as attractive and comfortable
as you possibly can.
And don't be afraid Of color. No

four-acre lot and . weathered cy-
press and brick exterior which helps
TO fit the house into its rustic site.
Owners are Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
o. salant.
The house was designed by
Francis Palms. jr., and is located
on Seminary Hill, Alexandra.
In designing the house, Mr..
Palms sought to fit 1t into the hill
side site with q minimum Of ex-
cavation.
Salient features Of the design:
1. All bedrooms are on the view

z. All three upstairs bedrooms
open onto the deck.
3. Living room and dining area
have large picture windows" over
looking the view.
The entrance to the house is on a
level all its own. To reach the
upstairs bedrooms from the en-
trance level. you walk up slightly
inclined ramp. as you can see on the
floor plans.
To reach lower levels, you first
turn to the left as you enter, and
60 down a stairway.
This stairway leads to the level
on which the recreation room, and
maids room and bath were built.
A few steps below are the living
room, dining room, kitchen, guest
room and bath.
On the lowest level Is q small
furnace room, reached by steps as
shown on the floor plan.
The house was built to the spe-
cific needs of the Salant family
Those needs, as we'll as a desire to
obtain adequate light and ventila-
ton for all rooms and make the
house appear to be "a part Of its
site" determined the five-level plan,
Mr. Palms said.
Both living room and master bed
room have fireplaces. Floors are OF
oak. Roof is Of Vermont slate Gut
tiers and downspouts are OF lead
coated steel. Glass wool insulates
roof and deck. Walls are furred
and plastered.

Home Godgets-
Package Type
VentiIutor Now
Available
By D. M. Derwin

The compact design Of modern
small homes places the kitchen in
close proximity to every other room
in the house so that odor-laden air
quickly floods the entire home when
foods are prepared.
The only way to eliminate odors,
grease and CRIME and, in summer,
the heat of cooking is to remove
them at their source in the kitchen
before they have had an opportunity
to spread through the house.
Even those modern homes with
thin-wall construction now can have
all the advantages of electric ven-
tilation with new package-type
8-inch ventilator available with a
3s-inch sleeve for mounting in thin
walls.
When mounted in the wall, the
fan offers the advantages of a STAN
dard built-in model. The fan is
mounted in a steel panel with a
sleeve which extends through the
wall. Electrical connection can be
made from circuit in the wall, or
with an extension cord to q nearby
electrical outlet.
A beaded pull chain is used to
open or close the weathertight outer
door, simultaneously starting or
stopping operation of thelfan.
The capacity Of the eight-inch
package-type ventilator Is $50 cubic
feet a minute, adequate for venti-
lating the compact kitchens usually
found in houses with thin-wall con-
struction. 1t provides a two-minute
air change In kitchens up to TOO Gu
bic feet in area.
Door Safety Device.
Each year burglary complaints
rise with the temperature in metro
politan areas when bell-ringing bur-
glars posing as respectable citizens
attempt to force daylight entrances
into homes. A new eye-hole door
safety device has been invented fo1
protection of the housewife against
such crimes.
Working on the principle Of two
way mirror, the housewife from be-

The first step is to measure the
width of the window, and then cut
three pieces Of six or eight-inch nm
ishing strip to that dimension. These
are then nailed together so as to
form an open-end trough. Next you
cut two small pieces to set into the
open ends, and these are nailed In
place. The ends will come above
the sides as much as the thickness
of the stock being used, and should
be cut across to match the top OF
the sides.
If you want q very finished job
the top OF the box may be trimmed
with . molding. -
Fastening the window box may be
done in several different ways. II
it is to be permanent fixture, the
best method is to drive two screws
through the bottom near the inside
edge and into the windowsill.
Another method is to install two
brackets on the wall Of the house
below the windowsill, and to set the
box upon them.
Still another method is to fasten
4 shelf direct to the sill so that the
box can be laid upon it.

One OF the main things to avoid
is filling the box before it Is set
in place. Once 1t is filled, it is very
weighty and awkward to handle.
People often make the mistake Of
taking the box to the florist to be
filled, and then trying to place 1t
properly. The right thing to do is
to fasten the box securely in place
and then have 1t filled.
Painting Is very important. Most
homeowners 60 in for contrasting
colors. In other words they paint
the box green, and set 1t in 4
white house. The window-box
should match the color OF the wall,
and the flowers or vines with which
it is filled should present the inter-
est and the contrast. go

BrOnchO Busters
Thrill Youngsters
Of old RiUer TOaUn

CASSVILLE, WIS. - This is one
town where the youngsters don't
have to go to the Saturday after
noon movie to see their cowboy
heroes.
Some of the best broncho busters,
trick ropers and bulldoggers in the
country live right here in this Mis-
sissippi river village Of $50 popula-
ton. To the delight Of the towns
youngsters, they wear their big
hats, fancy jackets, loud shirts and
high-heeled cowboy boots around
town whenever they are home from
rodeos in New York, Chicago, Den
yer, Pendleton, Salinas and other
cities.
The hard ridin' hombres who give
the village touch Of the rough and
ready west are four members of the
Buschbom family. They are Bill
Buschbom ST., Al, and his two sons,
Jack, 20, and Bill Jr., %, and Bills
brother, Ted, "a.
At present the Buschboms have
more than 100 horses, some trained
and some wild, and an assortment
Of bulls, steers and calves on their
ranch near here.
AS usual, Cassville youngsters
anxiously are awaiting the ad.
vent Of spring. Then the Busch
boms will spend a few weeks
rracticing bareback riding, rop-
ing and bulldogging steers in
the field near the big barn be-
fore hitting the sawdust circuit.
During those two weeks, Cassvile
mothers are going to have a hard
time getting their pistol-packin'
cowboy sons home in time for
meals.
Jack Buschbom ranks as one of
the top three or four bareback rid
ers in the country, winning about
5000 in prize money in that compe-
tition last year. Bill Jr. is one of the
top ranking trick ropers. The father,
a former bronc rider and bulldog
ger, now confines his activities al
most exclusively to putting his to
IL trained horses through their
PAGES in his liberty act, at major
shows. Occasionally, however, the
lure of his old calling impels him
back into the ring for bulldogglng
contests and last year he won first
place in a Mobridge, S. D., show.
Uncle Ted also is bulldogger.

Majority Against Sharing
Atomic Secrets, Poll Shows

Northwestern university psychol-
ogy department, in an opinion poll
of Chicago area residents, learned
that only per cent believe that
sharing of atomic secrets by all ma
tons will lead to peace.
Of five suggested means to
achieve lasting peace, the United
Nations received the highest vote,
n per cent, although SIS per cent of
this group expressed the opinion
that the u. N. is doing a poor job at
the present time. The other four
means were federal world govern
ment, a United States Of Europe,
making American military strength
greater, and the sharing of atomic
secrets.
The survey, conducted by A. r.
Gilliland, professor of psychology,
concerned itself solely with public
opinion toward our war allies and
toward the maintenance Of peace.
A continuing poll inaugurated in
1912, it surveys public opinion peri
odically on current issues. Persons
interviewed by trained interroga-
tors are selected to give an accurate
cross-section of Chicago urban pop
ulation on the basis of socio-eco-
nomic status. age, sex, education

AL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
MAPPING ELECTION PLANS

CHICAGO.-The executive council
OF the American Federation OF Labor
opened its midsummer meeting here
Aug. % to draft plans for the coming
political campaign and to formulate
its report to the forthcoming 9th an
nual convention OF the AFL.
Members Of the Administrative Com
mittee of I.abor's league for political
education were TO meet with the execu-
tive council to map II an intensified
program Of political action.
Plans call for a nationwide drive 10
get out the labor vote with the objective
of defeating large numbers OF members
of Congress who voted for the Taft
Hartley Act and bringing about the
election of representatives and Sena-
tors with more progressive views.
The executive council will review the
%"do-nothing" record of the 8Oth Con-
gress with regard to social justice leg
~islaiton and compare the platform
promises Of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties with the AFL's own
legislative proposals.
Among the outstanding isucs to be
considered by the executive council are
the need for safeguarding world peace
through international agreements. the
national defense program, the failure Of
Congress to take effective action to
halt initiation, the accommodating evil
dence that the Taft-Hartley Act must
be repealed to save the labor move
ment from eventual disintegration and
the urgent need fox an effective housing
program.
AS usual, the executive council will
conduct various hearings during its
session. One Of the subject to Re taken
up is an application for an international
union charter for aluminium workers.
1t is also expected that the executive
council will consider plans for an OK
banded public relations program by the
AFL, including the filming Of a movie
for general circulation on the story Of
organized labor and its achievements
in this country.

VAACTS TO SIMPLIFY
JOB TRAINING PLANS

WASHINGTON-The Veterans ad-
ministration said il had oombed some
Of the snaris out OF the registration pro-
oedure for the CT bills education and
training program.
Most important OF the new regula-
tons, going into effect Sept. /. the
agency said. was a requirement that
veterans file certificates OF eligibility
at least a month before entering train
ing.
In the past, veterans have filed the
certificates at about the same time that
they entered school or job-training. AS
a result, their claims for subsistence
allowance. and other papers concerning
them. frequently reached VA officials
ahead of the certificates.
This meant we would often get ma
terial OF queries about a veteran before
we had any record or file on him at ALL
an official explained.
"You can imagine the confusion that
resulted. Under the new system. a VA
claim number will be assigned as each
certificate is received. and We will BE-
assigned as each certificate is received
and we will be ready in advance tc
handle the veterans claim promptly
and accurately"
The agency also is speeding and SIM
plifying training administration by con-
solidating four forms in the new GER
t~ificate Of eligibility, and by giving each
veteran two copies OF his certificate for
presenting to- the school or training in
sttiution. Heretofore schools and in
situations have had to copy the various
forms themselves.
