At intervals of 10 minutes, apply
four successive flowing coats of

err to dry. When the old finish has
gathered up i'm cre2e-like ridges
all over the surface, YOU are ready

a booster remover" which you can
buy to get the dark filler out OF
the pores of the wood Full direc-

After removing the old finish.
wipe the surface with a damp
sponge wrung out of clear, cool wa

Sponge the surface until the sponge
rinses clear. Wipe surface dry and

Brush thoroughly to remove sand
ing dust. If you notice any bits OF
old varnish, take time to remove
it with regular or booster remover.
Now that you see the wood as 1t
is-study it before you select the
protective finish to preserve and
enhance the beauty of the wood
All refinishing takes time but it
is often we'll worth the trouble be-
cause of the beauty and joy 1t
brings into your everyday living.

each year with many deaths. OF
those who survive a great number
are left with disfiguring scars and
lifelong disabilities.
The curiosity of youngsters
prompts them to investigate every
thing in their environment. Scald-
ing burns of serious magnitude may
result when a child reaches up and
pulls the cord attached to an cleo
trio coffee percolator. Electric
burns are frequent in this age
group; parents are warned to see
that no light or wall sockets are
left open where small fingers may
be put into them.
Many children have been bad
ly scalded by falling into tub of
hot water, or, when left alone. by
turning on the hot water faucet
and not knowing how to turn it off.
The prevention of accidents ore
sents a challenge to all parents.
Constant vigilance in the household
must be the watchword if We are
to reduce the increasing number of
accidents to children in their own
homes.

REFINISHING FURNITURE?
SAFEGUARD THE WOOD

Having more time than money
can lead you into profitable ad-
venture. Refinishing an old dis
carded chest can be fun and can
fill the need for extra storage space
at little cost. The addition of
cNre.mlly refiniShed tables. BEN
ches and chairs can help young
marrieds to work together and
make bare rooms a home.
Think of the piece of furniture YOU
wish to renew. Is it hardwood
with a grain and surface worth
showing? Is it maple. birch, wal
nut, mahogany, oak, alder or a
fruit wood of any kind?
If the surface is thickly coated
with old paint and varnish, put a
little paint and varnish remover
on a small patch and judge the sur
face you find underneath. Should
the surface prove not to be hard
wood. paint the surface as 1t is not
worth the materials or the work
required for a natural wood finish
But it is hardwood A beautiful
grained walnut may be hidden I'M
der that old varnish Now the
question is how to preserve and
protect that surface.
The most important point to re-
member is to safeguard the wood.
Do nothing which will dig up the
surface. dent and bruise the wood,
raise the grain or otherwise destroy
the natural beauty you are seeking
to reveal and enhance. Use no
sharp scrapers. Gentle handling
is important.
With an old paint brush, flow on
a coat of good liquid paint and var
nish remover. Cover all surfaces
generously Do not brush back
and forth or attempt to work 1t in
to the surface. Leave 1t alone for
10 minutes. At the end of that time,
it should look dull but not dry.

Many a dry-skin problem has its
origin in the drying interior of an
overheated room. Nothing steals
away the natural oils of the skin
more quickly than moisture-rob-
bling heat.
If indoor activities and heated
offices have depleted your skin OF
oil, extra fabrication is must.
Swath your curls in a chamois
band, then father" your face with
baby oil. Use gentle, rotating
ovements-upward and outward.
Pat the oil in around the eyes,
where crows feet always spell
potential trouble. Occasionally,
let the oil ease in while Tubing.

Dear editor:
Scouting in the Seattle Area
Council helped make history dur
ing our city's first hundred years
by being the birthplace of the Cub
Scout movement, and of the big
show these years, the Clamorama.
The Northwest Times helped to
start Clubbing off on wonderful
second century, BY cooperating so
thoroughly in giving news of the
sixth annual Cub Scout Clamora-
ma.
Now that the 1851 presentation
is over, I want to report that the
Clamorama was the most success
full we have ever held, and to thank
you, on behalf of the committee OF
volunteers planning the event, for
the help received from your paper.
Very truly yours,

Births of Japanese Babies mL. A.
Reached Almost 800 in 1851

Japanese population within the
county are not included excepted in
cases where the baby was born in a
hospital within the city. In these
cases the babies are listed with the
city births.
Although accurate figures aren't
available, it is believed that a new
high in the number of Japanese in
fants born in Los Angeles was rea-
ched in 1851. For the last several
years, the birth rate has more or
less held an even keel at slightly
more than 800 Japanese babies in
the city until last year.

To remove, take several sterile
cotton balls. Still using the same
upward and outward strokes, re-
move the oil and the days make
up with the cotton balls. You'll
find that the snowy-white balls
absorb the oil with the greatest
of ease and seem to float the
dirt and CRIME away. Use fresh
cotton ball as the old one picks up
the oil.
Follow with a gentle lathering
with a pure baby soap, if you
wish. Many people, however, pre-
fer to smooth on another light
film of oil, leaving it overnight.

The topic on Modern Inventions"
was ably discussed by Mrs. Raymond

on the popular "Shopsmith" and its
inventor.
Mrs. John Marshall gave, "Con-
structive Uses of Atomic Energy"
She said that to date atomic energy
has been used mostly for instruments
of atomic warfare, however, some ex-
perimentation is being done for con-
structive uses of the atom. She told
how atomic isotopes were being used
in the field of medicine, especially
their use in some types of cancer and
referred to the article, "Atoms for
Cancer" in the Oct. 18th issue of Col
lier's.

been new and unusual flrst-course
