By ROGER c. Whitman

Question: I wish to move our
heavy refrigerator for the pur-
pose Of cleaning and painting our
kitchen. How can ! move it with
out denting the linoleum?
Answer: You can make strips
several feet long of a 1s-inch
hard fiber board or a quarter
inch plywood and place them
under the legs of the refrigerator
SO that all of the sliding is done
on the surface of the boards. 1t
might help to put on a thick coat
of paste wax so that skidding
would be easier.
Problem Of Humidity.
Question: Last year when I had
Dashboard hot air registers the
humidity in our house was ap-
proximately As per cent. But last
summer I remodeled and put the
registers up to, the level of the
door tops and now the humidity
is only Is per cent. I have added
about four Of the old waters IT,
the humidif1er and then put in
10 new ones, IA in all, but the
humidity is still only Is per cent.
Answer: I am wondering what
sort Of instrument you are using
to take your humidity readings.
II it is one of the ornamental
table variety, it is quite possible
that the workings of it have be-
come old or defective. The only
method that will give an accurate
reading is to use a hygrometer. If
you feel that the reading is &C
curate, the only suggestion I can
make to increase the humidity is
to put in a larger humidifier or
use a mechanical type humidifier

Paste Smears on Wallpaper.
Question: We recently papered
a room and smeared some paste
on the wallpaper and failed to
wipe it of while it was wet. Now
we can't remove it. Is there any
thing we can use to take of the
dry paste without affecting the
color of the paper?
Answer: II the paper is of the
washable variety, dampen the
spots and sponge of lightly with
soft cloths. I know Of no way to
remove paste from ordinary wall
paper without the possibility Of
taking out some Of the color. The
only suggestion I could make
would be to take a chance and
sponge it lightly (no rubbing) to
see if the paste will come of.
Should this fail, the only remedy
would be to patch the affected
areas.
Question: Do you have any

ANSWER: There are several
reasons advanced for this custom.
Some trace it to the Biblical sit
uation where Moses went up"
and the rest of the people were
on a lower level. 1t indicated a
certain degree of respect for the
words of the Law which should
emanate from a Higher" source.
Others claim that if the altar
were on the same level it would
be forbidden to sit down while
the Torah was being read on it.
Raising it to higher level takes
it above the level of the populace
and therefore relieves the popu-
lace of being required to stand
all the time. Others claim that
raising the altar to higher level
is a means of drawing attention
to the altar as a center of attrac-
ton in the synagogue. Some even
claim that reading the Torah on
the elevated altar is a means of
re-enacting the giving of the
Torah from the top of Mount
Sinai and an expression of the
fact that we believe it came from
Sinai and are still true to its
traditions.
