Fire Extinguishers
With the New Look
Now Available
By D. IA. DerWin

Until now many a home has been
without adequate fire protection
simply because the majority Of fire
extinguishers have been too un-
slightly and cumbersome to keep in
locations where they are needed
most.
A new. fire extinguisher of novel
design which solves both of these
problems has been placed on the
market. Its smart design makes it
an attractive addition, permitting it
to be kept in full view and within
easy reach wherever there is danger
of oil, grease, gas, electrical or other
common household fire.
This fire extinguisher consists of
twin, white enameled, 31-inch-long
extinguishers which hang gracefully
yet securely from decorative ham
ger box. Each extinguisher is
equipped with a nozzle and operates
independently of the other. Mount
ed on the wall, it has the charming
appearance OF door chimes.
One of the principal reasons for
the suitability of this extinguisher
to the home is its complete safety.
Using carbon dioxide under pres
sure, it is non-toxic, non-asphyxiat-
ing and non-conductive to electric
ity. Add to this the virtues of being
odorless, non-staining and even
tasteless. Furniture, walls and dra-
peries cannot be stained. Food is
not contaminated.
The extinguisher is easy to operate

Head Of Bed Cabinet,
Planned for Comfort,
Is Easy 10 Make
By W. Wodsworth Wood

A cabinet at the head of your bed
can be a great convenience when it
is properly designed.
The small unit is very easy to
make and has been. designed to fur
nish almost every comfort desired.
1t holds a reading light, a radio,
books and the telephone. All within
easy reach of the occupant of the
bed.
The cabinet is made by cutting
two side pieces of 8-inch shelving,
each 38 inches high, and cutting an
other piece 40 inches long to make
the top. A shelf is set in about 10
inches below the top.
A sheet Of plywood is then cut
to cover the front of the cabinet and
is cut out so as to leave an open
ing for the radio and for the books
as shown by the illustration. Mar
row strips of molding are tackled to
the front below the bookholes as
a decorative feature, but are not es-
sential as a convenience. A small
light is set inside the radio open
ing or a lamp is set on the top Of
the cabinet with the telephone.
The cabinet can be painted to
match the walls or the furniture
or may be in a becoming contrast
ing color.
The arrangement shown here is
for a single bed, but by changing
the length measurement it may be
built to accommodate twin beds or
a double bed. The sections below
the hookholes may be cut out and
fitted to accommodate a water bot
tie and glass or any other articles
the owner wishes to have at hand.

First Aid
For the House
By Roqer G. Whitmon

Question: Our house has an old
type wooden shingle roof. The
shingles do not look is if they had
had any finish on them for a long
time; they have weatherbeaten,
worn look, and I'm afraid that
without any finish they will deteri-
crate rapidly. Can you suggest a
good waterproof finish and an easy
method of applying such a finish to
a steep, gabled roof?
Answer: Do not use paint on the
roof, for it would be unsuitable. You
can treat the shingles with good
quality creosote Shingle stain, to be
had from paint dealer. Or you
can mix a shingle stain at home,
using 4 gallons of raw linseed oil,
2 gallons of coal-tar creosote oil,
and gallon of Japan drier. This
can be tinted with color-in oil,
mixed with linseed oil to the con-
sistency of paint. The creosote will
give a rather dark color 10 the
shingles. If you are unaccustomed
to working on a roof I advise you
to have an experienced workman do
the job.
Question. Our front room is fin
ished in knotty pine. It's very dirty.
How can I clean and refinish it?
All that's ever been put on it is
one coat of clear shellac.
Answer: To clean the wood, wipe
1t with cloth dampened with de-
natured alcohol. To refnish it you
can either apply another coat Of the
shame shellac, or else finish with
several very thin coats of paste wax,
letting each one dry hard, then pol
ishing before applying the next one.
