How Can You Prevent SheIIoc From BIisterinq?
By ROGER c. Whitmon

QueStlOu-LdSL Idll We TGIuOO-
eled our kitchen, building the
cupboards over the stove, the
refrigerator, etc. The cupboardS
over the stove are % inches
above the cooking top. We now
find that the shellac is blistering
on the bottom of the cupboards
from steam and heat. Is there
anything can do to prevent
this?
Answer-You may be able to
obtain better results by finishing
the underside of the cabinets
with a top quality quick-drying
varnish. OF course, all of the old
shellac will have to be removed
first. I suspect that the cause
for this condition is that the
cabinets over the stove are too
deep, extending pretty well over
all the burners. It would be bet
ter if the cabinets in the area
were no more than IA inches
deep. Another solution is to in
stall a ventilating hood on the
underside of the cabinets hav-
ing the exhaust fan carry off the
heat and fumes to the outdoors
by means Of duct.
Heat for a Basement.
Question: would like to know
if there is any way to heat a
basement. We can't afford a lot
of money for any expensive un-
dertaking. Our home is new and
we have Oil heat. Is there any
way we can heat the basement
from the oil heater? Some one
advised us to cut a hole in the
furnace and put a fan in to dis
tribute the heat. Do you think
that would work?
Answer-You have failed to
advise me if the house is heated
by hot water. hot air or steam.
But since you ask about cutting
a hole in the furnace and attach
ing a fan, 1 presume you have
hot-air heat. 1t would not be
advisable to cut a hole as you
plan, because it may interfere
with the flow of heat to the
rooms above. You would do bet
ter by installing an oil or gas
fired space heater in the base
ment. You will then be able to
heat the basement only when you
desire. Be sure the heater is
vented to the outdoors.
SmearS on Tile Floor.
Question - Our problem con-
Germs plaster that has been
heavily Smeared on the bath
room tile floor and the bathtub.
Do you have a leaflet that might
help us in removing such smears?
Answer - Cement or plaster
SmearS on the floor tiles can be
removed by scrubbing with
muriatic acid. Mix one part
acid in 10 parts of water. When
mixing it, pour the acid slowly
to avoid splashing. Use wooden
pail to hold the solution. After
wetting the title with water,
apply the solution literally and
after two or three minutes scrub
with more of the solution, using
fiber brush (not wire brush).
Rinse we'll with clear water.
This treatment. however, is not
suitable on plumbing fixtures
such as the tub. Strong acids
will damage the finish on the
bathtub. About the best you can
do is to try to scrape off these
smears with a putty knife or an
old razor blade, being careful
not to press too hard. If the
smears are comparatively light,
rub carefully with 1000" steel
wool using very little pressure.

There are few things more
.-4ioying than a rafting door,
or a door that does not close
tightly.
Most doors rattle because they
have shrunk a bit or because
they have warped out Of shape a
fraction of an inch. The condi-
ton can be remedied by moving
the striking plate so that when
the tongue of the lock drops into
the small square hole which is
there to receive it. it is a tight
fit. However, it requires quite
bit Of skill to properly reset
striking plate, and the wood
work is liable to suffer under the
hands Of a completely unskilled

Another said:
"You know tenants. They al
ways think they are being dis
criminated against, anyway.
They have chip on their shoul-
der and, in ordinary times, just
seem to be daring you to knock
it off.
1--WE been in this game a long
time, and I've learned a few
things about it. For years now,
we've had an unusual situation.
Tenants have had to take a lot.
Resident managers could even
abuse them and get away with 1t.
II say this: When the market
gets competition, the owners who

One manager said he has no.
ticed a new trend that gives
another indication of the way
tenants are thinking.
"Quite a few of them come in
and demand the right to SUBJ
lease. Who ever heard of ten
ants demanding rights to do this
and that in the last few years?
They were Just glad enough to
find place to live-but it isn't
that way anymore. They're more
cautious, more chooSy, and
they're shopping around. You
can't call them up and say you
have a vacancy, and have them
tell you to hold it and that they'll
send you a check for the first
months rent. Now they tell you
they'll try to get out and look
over the apartment to see wheth-
er they like it,"

along both sides and across the
top of the door opening.
When the door does not set
securely against this strip. it will
rtttle when windows are opened
al night and all the noise in the
hoase can be heard through the
gap. The proper procedure is to
lift off this strip. close the door
and lock it. Then renal the
strip again tight against the
door. This insures a tight-fitting
door which will close out most
Of the noise outside Of the room.
It won't rattle, either.
Speaking of noise coming
through a door, it might be well
to note that when absolute quiet
is desired a door must be heavy

easy on rent increases. There
is more than one who will advise
no rent increases at all. There
is more than one, in fact, who
is ready to advise his boss that
he had better think about slight
decreases rather than slight in
creases.
How long has it been since
you have heard of rent reduc-
tions, rather than rent raises?
Probably quite some time ago.
But it is beginning to happen
again, though, truth to tell, it
doesn't represent a trend. It is
a fact, however. that owners of
a small number of apartments
in the area have cut rents
recently in order to attract
tenants to vacant units.
Resident managers will tell
you they have noticed some
Washington families have begun
to retrench. They will tell you
that potential tenants are in a
mood to shop around-not to
beg for place to live or take
almost anything that's offered.
They'll tell you, too, that in the
light of all this some landlords
who intended to increase rents
after rent control ends have de-
cided in the last few days not
to do so at once, if at all.
Living close TO Congress, it is
only natural that Washington
landlords would be sophisticated
enough to know that a wide
spread series of sudden, sharp
rent raises might stir up Con-
gress to slap rent control back
on again.
Yet it is not this sophisticated
knowledge that appears to be
the deterrant grabbing hold to-
day. 1t is uncertainty over what
their competitive position will be
in a period of softened demand,
as much as anything else, that
is leading the landlord to null
over well in his mind the ques-
ton of what he will do.
"A landlord with 100 per cent
occupany and satisfied tenants
has a much better deal, even if
his rents are a bit lower than
the market, than the owner with
higher rents, a big turnover, a
high vacancy rate and a lot of
demands for redecoration on his
hands," said one resident mana
ger today.
One man, long in the field,
had this to say:
"A year ago you could tell a
tenant he would have to handle
renovation, if he wanted renova-
ton. It would be exceptional if
you could find a new tenant who
would agree to that today"
In the same apartment houses,
the turnover rate took a big

Alaskans Testify For Statehood
 By Associated Press

Washington -Alaskans may get the chance to elect their own governor this year but witnesses before the House subcommittee continued to go all out for statehood.
 The Alaskan witnesses ac- eepted as a step in the right direction an announcement by Chairman Butler (R-Neb) of the Senate Interior Committee that the Senate Twill go along with you". Bnt they made it clear it was considered only a step.
 Judge Anthony J. Dimond of Anchorage said the elective governor proposal was Hike giving a lollypop to a baby'' to stop it's crying.
