You might also give the walls

paint. which has good reflective
qualities and will therefore cut
down on heat absorption from
the sun.
LinOleum Lacks Gloss
Question: Will you advise me
what to do with my kitchen
linoleum? 1t is in good condition
but lacks any gloss. / have used
Yarnish and all kinds of wax. but
IN no time at all the gloss Is gone
and the floor appears to be
soiled.
Answer: In your efforts to OBJ
tain a high gloss finish it is
probable that you have damaged
the surface of the linoleum.
Linoleum and other types of
floor coverings are not expected
to have a high gloss finish. A
gloss or high polish when sub
jected to foot traffic wears off
regardless of the type of mate
rial-even highly polished steel
will become duh when subjected
to a great deal of traffic. After
removing the varnish, use good
grade of floor wax.

By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: I would like some
information on the use Of a mas
tic as q liner in caves troughS
on houses. In the past ! have
used timers red paint. ! have
had to repaint the troughs every
few years. Would one coating Of
mastic last indefinitely?
Answer: The trowel type Of
asphalt maStic is not necessary
for coating the interior of the
trough. A couple of applications
of a good brand of asphalt roof
coating is generally satisfactory
and should last for quite some
time. The lasting qualities of
the material will depend q great
deal on the amount of foreign
matter such as leaves. stone
granules from asphalt shingles.
etc. that may get into the
trough.
Cold Bedroom Floor.
Question: We have a bedroom
in the northwest corner of the
house with no basement under
it. but there is a crawl space.
The one window in the founda-
ton wall is completely closed in
winter. The outer edges of the
floor in this room sweat and the
moisture at times extends some
distance up the wall. Would the
installation of insulation cor
rect this?
Answer: Insulation in the
form Of a thick vapor-and-mois-
ture-proof blanket placed be-
tween the floor joiSts and we'll
packed into the stud spaces at
the floor level, would certainly
help. In addition to this, keep
the area under the floor dry,
leave the window open all year
round and cover the ground with
a moisturer and-vaporproof pa
per. Overlap the edges about six
inches and seal them with roof
ing cement
Dust at HOt-Air Registers.
Question: I have an oil
burner conversion in my hot-air
furnace and find that consider
able dirt and dust accumulate
around the hot-air registers on
the walls. Is there a flameproof
fabric that could eliminate part
Of this dust if placed behind the
registers? Would there be much
loss Of heat by using same?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-27

Answer: There IS no fame
proof fabric made and sold for
such a purpose. You can. how
ever. use a cotton mosquito net
ting and flameproof the fabric
yourself. The compound for the
purpose can be purchased in the
housewares sections of large de-
partment stores.
Placing the netting back Of
the registers will affect the cir
culation of heat slightly. but not
enough to make the house UNI
comfortable. The better method
is to have a blower-filter unit
installed at the furnace so that
all air brought back to the
furnace for heating will have the
dust removed. Heating contrac-
tors can give you further infor-
nation on costs, etc.
Old Paint ''Bleeds" Through.
Question: My front door used
to be mahogany in color. To
tighten the hall. I painted the
door white. Now the mahogany
color is coming through in sew
eral places. It looks pretty bad
and I'd like to fix it. What
should I do?
Answer: 1t would be best to
remove the paint down to bare
wood. using either paint remover
or portable electric sander. If
paint remover is used, all traces
should be thoroughly washed of
with turpentine. Any rough
spots should be Sanded. Then.
to prevent any possible working
through of the dark color, first
put on a sealing coat of alumni

can put on the finishing enamel.
Sitting Chickenhouse
Question: Last summer the air
inside my chickenhouse was so
hot it nearly fried the eggs and
broiled the chickens. I'd like to
take steps before the hot
weather to do something about
it. The house is IS by 25 feet.
and has several small doors and
windows.
Answer: An exhaust fan, like
a kitchen exhaust fan. to carry
off cooking odors, placed high
in the wall near the peak of
the roof, will carry off a great
deal of accumulated heated air.

Wool Price Support
Rates Announced

WOOL PRICE support rates for
1854 will average 53.2 cents per
pound, grease basis, a IL cent per
pound increase over the minimum
price announced last December,
Leo S. Kolstad, State Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation adj
ministrative officer, has announced.
The support price is equal to 90
per cent of the parity price of wool
as announced by the Department
of Agriculture on March 80 and
one-tenth of cent higher than the
1858 national average support rate.
While most loans will be made on
grease wool, loan rates are quoted
on clean wool per pound, Boston
basis. These rates include with
comparable 1858 price support
rates.:
Fine, Gas and finer, staple and
good french combing $1.64 ($1.63).
Half-blood, Cos and finer, staple
and good french combing SLAB
($1.49)
Three-eighths blood, 56/58s, staple
and good french combing $1.28
($129).
One-quarter blood, 50s/48s, staple
and good french combing SLIT
($1.20).
The lower prices for certain
grades and classes under the 1854
program reflect compensation fol
the greater rise in prices of fine
woods during 1858 than in the
coarser grades. Most loan schedule
increases are in fine woods.
Details of the price support pro
gram for 1854 are similar to those
in effect for the 1853 crop. On,
major change is making pulled WOO
eligible for loan. Both advance AM
recourse loans will be offered t
handlers who represent producer
or producer groups. Wool must b
put in a merchantable conditio
and stored in an approved ware
house prior to February %, 1855,
be eligible for loan.
USDA officials point out that
new legislation is enacted for woe
price support, the new method coul
be made available to producers BIZ
fore the end of the marketing yea
even though the 1854 program
in operation. Wool not pledged fc
loan would be eligible for pa!
ments under the new program. TT
USDA contemplates that wool a
ready placed under the 1854 pr'
gram also would be eligible for tt
new support method, provided tt
loans were redeemed by the pr,
ducers.

1t was my privilege recently
to meet and have an evening
listening to one of Germanys'
good will students who had made
tour of Americas finest High
Schools in order to return to his
own land to try to impart some
of our newer ideas to their stu
dents. He said the lecture sys-
tenn is still used in Germany by
the old school. But the younger
teachers, more and more, are us
ing many of our methods of
teaching. Not every boy or girl
may go to high school or college,
only those showing excellent
grades after stiff examinations
are allowed to gain a higher
education.
