By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: What could use fol
the lower part of our open stair
wall to keep the wall clean from
finger marks? It is natural to put
hands on the wall when coming
downstairs. I though of tile wall
covering or a type of linoleum that
is pasted on. and a moulding to
cover the joints where the sheets
come together.
Answer: One of those coverings
could be used, or else you could ap-
ply a thin transparent coating
that is similar to a tin type of clear
varnish.
If the wall is papered, you can
use a special type of water clear
wax. Ask for 1t at a store that
sells wallpaper. Sometimes q
starch coating is applied to walls
This can be brushed off wnen II
becomes soiled. My own preference
would be for one of the transpar-
ent coatings. Ask about them al
a large paint store. You nigh;
consider having a handrail in
stalled on brackets on the wall.

Answers to HousehoIders

slant fear I will ruin all our
clothes.
Answer: A closet close to q
chimney can be partly safe
guarded from heat by lining the
wall nearest to the chimney with
insulating board. preferably put
up on furring strips. You might
be able to keep the others some
what cooler by opening at top and
bottom Of the doors to provide

Cellar Wallpaper?
Question: I have a finished Gel
lar, painted with a resin-base
water emulsion paint. I'm think
ing of changing the finish to wall
paper. Would the walls have to be
treated in any way first?
Answer: Do not even consider
wallpaper In the cellar. for it would
probably not last long. II the pres
ent paint is In good condition, you
had better leave it as 1t is.

Floyd e. Davis, president Of the
Lincoln National Bank, today an
nounced that construction will
soon start on a three-story ad-
dition to the banks Offices at 1701

and modernize customer facili-
ties.
The addition will occupy the
site of a building at 8o4 Seven
teenth street NV, adjacent to the
present bank offices on the north
west corner of Seventeenth and H
streets.
The Seventeenth street building,
which until recently was occupied
by real estate office and a florist
shop, will be torn down to make
way for the addition. The exist
ing bank building will be re-
modelled.
Change In Entrance.
Remodeling operations will close

trance to the addition on the

and other space for general bank
ing service to customers.
"The project is being under

modelled section, it was explained.

Beautiful World

NEVER have the mountains been
90 lovely as they are this summer"
remarked an oldtimer the other day.
1t reminds us of the poem, Goods
World" written by Edna st. Vincent
Millay when she was 19-year-old
girl. 1t is an exquisite little poem,
full of an intense love of the earth
and its beauties. In it are these two
lines:
Lord, / do fear
Thous't made the world too
beautiful this year."
These words have been running
through our thoughts many times
these past few weeks as we have
watched the white fleecy clouds
move across the clear blue sky.
The world is so beautiful; the clean
green fields of waving grain; the dis
tant pine covered mountains; the
breath-taking pinks and yellows of
the sky at sunrise; and all the little
creatures, the bee as it goes from
flower to flower gathering only
sweetness; the meadow lark as he
tills his song of joy.
The world as God made it is SO
beautifu1.-AMY MARTIN.

Foot Care

IT'S A LONG TIME since Whit
tiers barefoot boy" ambled down
the road with his fishin' pole. Strid-
ing along on soft and springy eoun-
try lanes, he never knew the mean
ing of foot trouble
Many of today's youngsters have
to do their walking, playing and
school-attending on unyie d ing
cement sidewalks, asphalt roads and
hardwood floors. So their feet need
as much support as they can get.
Skipping along barefoot is fine for
grassy surfaces and Mother Earth,
but modern living requires the flex-
ible firmness of leather-soled foot
wear, adequate support for instep
and arch, and a fit that prevents
tender heels from twisting and
chatting.

The average child takes about 3d.
600 steps day, for a distance of IL
miles. That's twice as many steps
as the average adult. So take a good

Are they too heavy or too light?

Retreat in Maneuver
By Americans Causes
Disauiet 10 Germans
By the Asseeioted Press

HEIDELBERG, Germany. Sept.
l6. - The current big United
States Army maneuvers have
demonstrated the dangerous nu-
merical inadequacy of the present
occupation force to defend West
ern Germany in case of a real
invasion from the East.
High officers say, however, they
have been cheered by the knowl-
edge that American troops here
are fit and ready for combat.
The Army threw into the name
uvers beginning last week nearly
every available soldier. sailor and
airman in Germany. They faced
an invasion" by only six myth
ical enemy divisions-only frac-
ton of the force Russia could
hurl into Western Germany if
she chose to attack.
Forced Into Retreat.
Yet, under the conditions of
the exercise, American forces had
to make a pell nell retreat of
about 200 miles in order to make
a paper pretense of stopping the
invasion later.
The defense line they finally set
up in front of Frankfurt and
Heidelberg left most of the Ameri-
can occupation zone in the hands
Of the enemy"
Even In a mock war, this was
disquieting to the Germans who
watched the retreat flow westward
past their villages and realized
that If 1t were real, their homes
would be overrun by the invaders.
One German villager shook his
head as he watched a small COL
umn Of passing light tanks-of
last war vintage and already out
dated.
Il hope you Americans got a
lot more than that" he remarked.
Actually, the Army does have
more-quite a lot more. The
troops here are equipped with
many late model arms. The new
3.5-inch bazooka which was rushed
to Korea to stop the Red tanks
is already on hand in Germany.
The Air Force here uses mostly
F-80 jets for fighters. There are
big B-29 bombers based in nearby
England.
Not Enough Soldiers.
Yet, the obvious truth was that
there were not enough soldiers,
planes, tanks and guns to make
successful defense against the
kind of invasion which could be
launched almost overnight.
Gen. Mark w. Clark, chief of
the United States field forces, ad-
mitted it in addressing a maneu-
vers briefing attended by military
observers from II nations.
He praised the American troops
in Germany as superior" in their
combat readiness. Then he added:
However, we all know that in size
our forces are Inadequate"
He welcomed as "heartening"
President Truman's recent deci-
sion to send more American troops
to Germany. He predicted that
these troops would start arriving
within q very few months.
