hot coffee. and at the same time
|it bleaches the wood back to the

There is no need to neutralize
woodwork that has had varnish
removed by this powder type
product. All that Is necessary is
to allow the wood to dry thor

be applied without further ap-
plication.
In addition to removing varnish,
this powder will. according to the
manufacturer, dissolve shellac,
wax, dirt and grease faster and
more thoroughly than the harsh
and irritant removers do, and
contains nothing that is harmful

Leaky Steam Radiators.
Question: Have you any remedy
for leaky steam radiators?
Answer: There are many parts
LOT a steam radiator that might
leak. The likeliest spots are at
the shut-off valve where the stem
comes out of the body of the
valve directly under the handle
III SO. tightening Of the six-sided
nut with a wrench should stop
the leakage.
II not. the packing inside the
valve may need replacement, this
would mean taking apart the
valve and replacing with new
packing, which you should be able
to get from your local plumbing
supply house or possibly q hard
ware store.
The other point Of frequent
leakage is where the air valve fits
into the radiator due to improper
threading. This can be stopped
by applying a fairly thick coat
of white lead paste. Bear in mind
that the heating plant should be
shut down when such work is
done.

Best Method 10 Finish
|Unpainfed Floors
By Douglas Tuomey

A large percentage Of the reader
mail received by the three or four
monthly magazines published In
|Ithis country asks how to treat
the floors Of a house 50 as to ar
|Irive at an enduring and good
looking surface.
| Quite q few Of the letters sug-
;lgest methods and treatments,
Ior indulge In contradictions OF the
instructions published In one OF
Ianother of the magazines. There
are many exponents OF the use of
Ishellac. Of varnisf and Of lac
|Iquers of various sorts: More than
Ha few individuals recommend
chemical treatments Of the wood.
The great variance Of opinion has
lied to a careful investigation OF
1.-THE known methods Of producing
an enduring floor finish, with the
following results:
All authorities agree that the
ref1nishing Of a worn floor starts
with a thorough cleaning and
sanding of Of the surface. This
is best done with a sanding ma
chine. The use of o mechanical
sander often has been objected to
because of the damage to the
Dashboard or the walls at the edge
of the floor: but this may be over
come by laying a strip of card
board. attached with thumb-nails.I
along the Dashboard. In this way
the machine may be run right to1
the floor edge.
The next step in obtaining an
enduring floor finish Is to thor
Ioughly sweep. then mop UP the
floor with a damp cloth (not wet
cloth. The next step is to remove
Iall stains with an oxalic-acid
solution. and rinse OF the spots
thoroughly.
The final step is to paint the
raw wood floor with q good hller;
a colorless. wood d-preserving and
hardening agent. Of which there
are several on the market. The
actual finish is obtained by two
lor more coats Of paste floor wax.
well buffed and polished in. Sew
eral thin coats. with plenty Of
| polishing between, are far superior
| to one or two heavy coats. Floors
thus treated are as good as can be
obtained.

Question: i have installed q
room cooling unit in the window
|cf my bedroom. This window faces
east, and every driving rain from
the east causes water TO seer
through from somewhere ano
shows up under the unit and then
to the floor.
Service man claims that the
spaces around the unit are caulked
perfectly. Is it possible that force
|of rain with the wind will come
Through the unit? Would sheet
metal covering for the unit be OF
|any help? II you agree that this
would be the solution. where could
II have it done inexpensively.
Answer: II all spaces and joints
around the unit are perfectly
|caulked, as your service man
claims. evidently the driving rain
comes through the louvres Of your
unit and 1t Is quite possible that
your idea of a sheet shield would
keep out the rain.
I would suggest that this shield
extend from the top of the unit
outward and downward at a wide
angle to allow air to move freely
through the louvres. Any local
sheet metal shop could make this
for you.
