WAILPAPERNQ.
(Mr. M. D. w.. Silver Spring.
Replying to Mrs. e. D. W.,
regarding wallpapering q
room: Last year my wife and I
papered our Groom house and
are very pleased with the re-
suit. We used the regular type
Of paper (the kind you paste
YOURSELF. However, I am now
papering q room for my
mother-in-law, using the pre-
pasted type Of paper which is
comparatively new on the
market. It Is much easier to
handle than the kind We used
in our house. as it eliminates
the bother Of mixing and ap-
plying the paste. as well as
preparing the necessary table
space to apply the paste to tho
paper. Frankly, the ceiling Is
the most difficult part Of the
Job, but with a little persua-
sion and a lot Of patience, 1t
can be done. AS an alterna-
tive, you can paint the ceiling.
I secured a descriptive folder
from O. wallpaper company.
which explained the operation
in full. I live in the Silver
Spring area and would be glad
to give any further help If you
will write me in care Of RICH.

MOVING RECORDS?
mrs. Z. z. p, CheDerlU
Perhaps some Of my unseen
RICH friends have had expert
ence in successfully transport
ing breakable phonograph rec
ords without breakage. We
have approximately 200 clas-
sical albums, Of which only q
few are Of the vinylite nom
breakable type. Being In the
military service. we move all
too frequently and almost in
variably suffer costly break
age despite careful packing in
wood boxes. Such records are
not inSurable, 30 we are hop
ing that some one can tell uS
Of the existence of special
containers or specifications
therefore, which can be pro-
cured or constructed in which
phonograph records can be
transported with reasonable
protection against breakage.

POEM SUPPLIED
(B. P. r., WGshtnOtot)
To Mrs. P. c. g., Arlington:
The poem you refer to Is "1n-
victus", by william Ernest
Henley d849-1903). 2It was
written In the hospital where
Henley (1S49-1903). It was
months after he had lost a
foot by a kind Of tuberculosis.
Here is the complete poem:
Out Of the night that covers me.
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
! thank whatever gods may be
For my uncomfortable soul.
In the fell clutch Of Circumstance
have not WINGED or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings Of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Looms but the Horror Of the shade.
Finds. and shall find: me unsfraid.
How charged with punishments the
/ am the master Of my fate;
! am the captain OF my soul.
Henley, an English poet also,
wrote where Forlorn Sun
SETS. and "A Late Lark Twit-
ters."
COFFEE POT STAIN
mrs. T. w. G., Falls Church,
For Mrs. S. B., Boyce. Va:
From the description Of your
coffee pot, I assume it's one OF
the lovely new stainless steel
and copper utensils and that
when it boiled dry it probably
became nearly red hot on the
bottom. This results in dis
coloring the surface Of the
stainless steel. The metal be-
low the surface is probably
unharmed. The best method
Of restoring it to new condi-
ton is by buffing with two or
more grades Of abrasive. Most
home handymen, garages. etc..
have the necessary facilities.
You will be cheered to know
that when my husband re-
Gently performed this buff1ng
service for q neighbor who had
the same sad experience. the
part he worked on looked so
much better than the undam-
aged part that he had to bun
the whole utensil, and it ended
up looking just like new.
