"All last winter we put up
with a pounding noise in the
radiators every time the oil
burner would start. This noise
would last for five minutes and
then stop, but it would start all
over again when the steam came
up the next time. Can you tell
me what is necessary to correct
this trouble?"-F. K. NJ, Pas
sale, N. j.
AnSwer-ThiS is all a case Of
the pitch of the pipe. Your home
probably has "one-pipe" system
as this is the standard installa-
ton for residences. The steam is
supposed to travel up to the radi-
ator and the condensate flows
back to the boiler through the
same pipe. The steam goes up
due to pressure and the water
returns by gravity.
This is all to the good il the
pipe slopes in the right direction

The repair is not difficult.
There are several liquid dish
washing detergents on the mar

to use. Add one of these to
water as directed for washing
dishes and wash the wall with it.

but gravity cannot pull water
uphill. The illustration shows
how a water trap often forms in
the pipe. due to settling of the
house or shrinking of the tim
bers. AS the steam rises to the
radiators. it comes into contact
with this relatively cool water
and condenses rapidly, forming
a vacuum. Air rushing into this
vacuum causes the pounding
noise which you hear. When the
water becomes hot. the steam no
longer condenses and the noise
stops.
This condition can usually be
corrected by lifting the radiator
and placing wood blocks under
the legs as illustrated. If you
have a small spirit level. you can
check the slope of the pipe to
permit enough elevation in the
radiator. but don't overdo it as 1t
may put too much strain on the
pipe and perhaps break the ell
bow fitting.
Sometimes, this trap will be
formed in the radiator itself by
one end being lower than the
other. In this case, block up the
legs on the end away from the
steam inlet valve so that the
water can drain back to the
boiler.
Paint Troubles.
please tell me what to do. I
painted my living room dark
green. There appears to be
grease on the surface and it has
turned white" Unsigned. Green
vile, S. C.
Answer-USually, we do not
answer unsigned letters, but this
problem may be of interest to
other readers. It is a good guess
that you used one of the new
latex base paints. Since these
paints have no odor, people are
inclined to apply them without
adequate ventilation in the
rooms. This is a. mistake be-
cause the paint then does not
dry properly and the dusty white
appearance that you have is the
result.

A long-felt need Of good func-
tional modern furniture that
combines well with traditional
and provincial has been filled by
q well-known designer with .
new group having unusual adapt
ability to today's living.
Pieces are built to serve dual
purposes. such as a long cock
tail table which doubles as a
bench. or q game table which
opens into dining table.
Chests, commodes and lamp
tables can be used in either bed
room or living-room areas with
equal success.
The lavish use of luxurious
native Mexican materials, mo-
tits and hand-craftsmanship.
and modern concepts of design
yield timeless furniture whose
beauty blends with any period
decor.
The pieces can be used with
enormous success as a dramatic
focal point with other types Of
furniture. or can be combined to
form innumerable complete room
settings.
In the design of the pieces,
treasures of Mexico's past have
been adapted to the requirements
Of contemporary furniture, util-
iZing the artistic heritage of an
Gent Indian civilizations in the
decorative motifs of the pieces.
The finest Of native materials
are used; all the pieces are
made of solid mahogany in a
variety of finishes. including
mellow briar. honey amber.
mother of pearl, ebony and teak.
Handwrought, antiqued silver
hardware enricheS the surfaces
of the finely textured wood and
makes use Of detailing extracted
from old Mexican designs.
Some Of the tables are topped
with marble or clear onyx. Mex
lean moSaics Of the Venetian
type also are used for table tops.
Chairs are upholstered in choice
hides carefully tanned. cut and
laced up the backs and seats.
Palm leaves are woven into in
tricate designs for other chair
seats and backs. panels of chests.

some native material has proved
through long centuries of use to

Answers to Questions.
Question: am a bride of only
two months and already I real
ize some of the mistakes ! have
made as to furniture purchases,
When the furniture was bought
my husband and I were more
concerned with quality and ne
cessity rather than a decorative
scheme. Now that I am living
with the furniture. I find that
somehow it doesn't look right.
What shall I do? We have a
cute three-room cottage and !
am satisfied with the furniture
in the dining area which is early
American maple.
The living room is the prob
lem. The Lawson-type sofa bed
is dark green and the television
set and a chest are walnut.
Should I also follow the Early
American style in this room?
can easily replace the chest.
What would you suggest? What
colors should I use for the walls.
rug. curtains and lamps? The
room is rather dark.
Answer-Since you are salts
ned with the early American
furniture In the dining area, why
not stick to the same style in
the living room. Replace the
chest with a maple secretary
desk which will provide drawer
space as well as shelves for

First systematic research on hu-
man ability to emit speech through
the ear, discovered by a Bluffton
man, is underway now at Ohio State
university.
Subjects in the university's Speech
and Hearing clinic. literally are talk
ing through their ears as investiga-
tors study this mode of communica-
ton.
Researchers believe ear emitted
speech viii have practical applica-
tions such as in4aircraft.
Talking ear-to-ear. they point out,
might eliminate use of an oral micro
phone, leaving the pilots hands free
for other tasks; reduce interference
from both engine noise and breath
noise; and solve problems of locating
microphone in, an oxygen mask.
The research began at Ohio State
when Herbert Oyer of Bluffton, a
graduate student in speech science,
observed ear-emitted speech while
working in an experimental phonetics
laboratory.
At first these sounds were electron-
ically amplifed,/ but later he found
they could be transmitted mechani-
cally through use of simple equip
ment.
Everyone produces ear emitted
speech in the course of normal talk
ing. The problem is to separate the
ear-emitted sounds from the mouth
emitted sounds At Ohio State this
is done by speaking into battle box
lined with several layers of sound
absorbing material The battle box
fits closely around the mouth and
nose, so that no mouth-emitted sounds
can escape, but it does not hamper
speech movements.

Talk Through Ears As Well As Mouth,
Bluffton Researcher At 0SJY Discovers

The speaker and the listener wear
stethoscope{earpieces, connected by
glass and rubber tubing. The listen
er hears the speech family but intel
ligibly.
The researcher easily can demon
strate thatNthe sounds are being con-
Quoted through the earpiece system.
When the rubber tubing is pinched,
the listener hears nothing.
After Mr.. Oyer had begun working
with ear-emittedl sounds, he searched
the literature of speech science and
found no data or the subject.
He is workingEtoward the doctor of
philosophy degree at Ohio State. He
has the bachelor of arts degree from
Bluffton college and master of science
from Bowling Green State university,
and for five years was a member of
the speech facility at BG.
He is the stepson of Mrs. Adella
Oyer and brother of Mrs. Edwin Rice
and Mrs. Ray ENiswander.
