|HandraiIs Add Safety
10 Steps and Can Be
Constructed Easily
By DouqIos Tuomey

More than go per cent OF all
country and suburban houses have
front or rear steps that are with
out handrails, and that present a
definitely dangerous situation.
Even though there be but three
or four steps, a fall due to icy or
slippery conditions may be enough
to break q limb or cause other Sc
rious injury.
The home-owner who wants
safe steps can have them, If he is
willing to invest in about $2.00
worth of plain 2x4 lumber. 20
cents worth of screws and 20
cents for four small angle-braces.
Without being a skilled mechanic.
or even a second-rate carpenter,
he can make q substantial hand
rail In about an hours time by
following these directions.
The bottom post is made OF one
piece of 2-by-4 cut to a length
Of 80 inches or more. depending on
the height wanted. This Is set
solidly on the. ground, against the
arst step with the 4-inch side
against the riser. The nosing or
rounded edge Of the step Is cut
back to make a flush fit against
the step. Two iron angles are
screwed into each side Of the post
and into the step. A strong. solid
post results.
The handrail. (which follows the
angle OF the steps. is now laid
temporarily in place, and the side
Of the post marked OF and halved
or cut so that the rail will lay
in the post. This makes a neat.
workmanlike joint.
The upper end Of the rail may be
halved to At into the side OF a
square column. screwed directly
to a round column or fastened in
some secure manner to the end of
the railing. the door frame or
whatever support is available.
No matter what the conditions
are, a bit Of figuring and little
ingenuity will indicate the best
procedure.
These safety-rails may be re-
moved or replaced with the sea-
sons.

Coffee Table Evolved to Fill Role of Convenience
By GIodys Miller
Secretary, New York Chapter, American
Institute Of Decorators

Secretary, New York Chapter, American
Institute Of oseorotor.
What do you like best in Amer
ican decoration?" was the ques-
tion I recently put to Maurice
Yates. the English-born set deco
rator for Independent Pictures in
Hollywood.
He quickly answered: "The cof-
fee table" Then he added: How
it ever was given that name is
difficult to understand, because 1t
is used for nearly everything but
serving coffee. You Americans are
too fond Of the large cup with
your meal to wait for the small
cup leisurely served In the living
area after the meal"
Since that conversation I have
done much thinking and some re-
search.
In our Western world. decora-
tive history reports the low table
non-existent. although you will
ind its counterpart In Oriental
furniture.
In China and Japan. people sit
on the hoor as they drink their
tea. The serving table was low
from necessity.
Evolved for Convenience.
And our coffee table has evolved
in much the same way. We like
things - many things - conven-
iently within easy reach or acces-
sible with little effort.
The coffee table has been the
answer. II it were console or
work table height-28 to 40 inches
1T obstructed the vision Of peo-
pie seated in the room. If it were
end table height-25 inches-it
looked bulky and out Of proper
tion. So the table became lower
and lower and larger and larger
lower for comfort, larger for
convenience. The mean average
is now is inches high and SO
inches in length, although there
are some much larger and others
much smaller.
If you are a collector Of
antiques, you will need to use an
old bench or stool if you want an
authentic piece this low to use as
a coffee table.
But if your house is furnished
in 18th century style, you can
find many suitably designed coffee
tables that have applied perfectly

These tables may be square,

Congress Diffident Over Truman's
 New "Kindly" Role
(By Jack Rutledge)

WASHINGTON, tP)-President Truman's new be-kind-to-Con- gress strategy faces a quick test in both House and Senate.
 Will the nice things he said about the lawmakers encourage them to go along with the admin istration on rent control, foreign aid, the labor program?
 Southern Senators, rebel n g against civil rights program and still elated over their filibuster victory, are wary. Republicans are openly skeptical. Administra- ton leaders are enthusiastic.
 The Democratic-contr 8lst Congress in recent weeks has given the administration three set backs: the filibuster defeat, maui ing of the rent control bill, refusal to confirm a major nomination of the Presidents.
 But Monday the Pres n praised the lawmakers and said "basically the Congress and the President are working together"
 COP sentiment was summed up by Senator Knowland R.-Calif0, who asked: "Is he kidding?"
 But Democrats felt differently. Some said they believed the south erners would lean over backwards for a while in trying to cooperate. Leaders expect to put over such Truman proposals as rent control extension, foreign aid, low rent housing, revised reciprocal trade program. The labor program is in

JUNEAU, R-A bill creating an Alaska statehood committee sailed past the last legislative bar rier last night and headed for the Governors desk.
 The House passed the Senate approved measure 21-1 after crit ics of the $8O,OOO appropriation were able to muster only six votes in an attempt to slash the amount to $3O,OOO.
 The bill provides that the gov ernor appoint II members to a committee to study all phases of statehood and submit chart for statehood to the constitutional convention committee.
 Appointees are subject to con- firmation by the present legisla- ture.
 Governor Gruening, Delegate E.. L. Bartlett and his predecessor, Judge Anthony Dimond, would be exofficio members.
 The only dissenting votes were by Republican George Miscovich and Democrat Amer Rydeen.
 Debate on the appropriation brought figures from ways and means committeeman Glen D.. Franklin that prospects are for barely balancing the budget on the basis of new taxes.
 He said the Senate finance com mittee and the House ways and means subcommittee figured rev. enue prospects and revised the es- innate downward to $18,600, ,000 with the present prospect of $18,-
