Question = Can you tell me
what causes plaster to crack
where the ceiling and walls?
meet? We patched these several
times when We painted. but in
ak months time the cracks
would re-appear.
AnsWer-The reason why plas-
ter cracks at the Joint between
the ceilings and walls is that the
iath was not carried over the
corner and eyerytime there is .
movement in the wan or ceiling
the brittle plaster win crack. Cut
away about q 6-inch-wide strip
on each side Of the corner and
fasten In place what Is known as
q corner metal lath and replaster.
This win reinforce the joint. II
corner lath Is not available. use
regular metal lath and cut It In
l2-inch-wide strips. then bend
them at right angles.
OLD FLOORING
Question - I have some used
flooring that ! want to relay In
my home. The grooves are filed
with varnish or filler. How can
/ remove this? What can I use
to I'LL the cracks after the floor
Is laid and sanded?
Answer - Paint remover will
soften the varnish. making 1t
possible to take it OF with coarse
steel wool. Or. you can rub the
edges with sandpaper. If the
boards are laid snug enough
there should be no reason why
cracks would be present unless,
Of course. some Of the boards are
cracked and need to be filed.
Cracks In fioorboards can be
nlledwith base wood filler or
wood putty. Either Of these
materials can be purchased at
your local paint store.
Faded Leather Top
QUESTION-The green leath-
er top Of q nice old table has
now become faded and drab-
looking. There is also q torn
place. It is just large enough to
be noticed. While I don't expect
to be able to make the leather
look the way 1t did when it came
from the store. ! would like TO
do something which would I'M
prove its appearance.
ANSWER - First wipe the
leather with q soft cloth, well
wrung out In suds. and then
wipe dry with . clean cloth.
Then rub In q treatment Of sad
die soap. This is a splendid
leather conditioner. and 1t win
greatly improve the appearance
of the leather. While you can't
give the surface Of the torn spot
q new smoothness. you can dis
guise It by painting it with green
ink. or green paint. tinted to1
match the rest Of the leather as
closely as possible.
Dresser Top Damaged
QUESTION: bottle Of rub

Of my lined oak dresser. and the

Why only Top
gets the full power
from High Octane Gasoline

You might expect that all you need to get
the full power out of high compression
engine is high octane gasoline. Actually you
need more than just high octane-you need
a gasoline with special kind of additive.
That's because the way most of us drive
most of the time-short trips here and there
creates power wasting problem that
neither engine design nor highest octane
gasoline can solve by themselves
This problem is the increased build-up of GER
tain deposits within the combustion chambers
=. =. the principal cause of power waste.
What happens is this:
AS your engine warns up, these deposits
warm up, too-glow red hot. And these glow
ing particles act like hot coals-ignite the
gasoline mixture ahead of time before the
pistons reach proper firing position. This is
called pre-hring and means that power works
against you instead of for you.

Recently the Virginia Supreme
Court delivered q knockout blow
Ito a State law that would have
allowed Virginia courts to pro-
|hibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors to improper persons. "
The case provides a classic
Illustration of the projections
offered by American law through
the not-so-simple expedient of
being finicky.
Just who, the court wanted to
know, is an improper person?
Webster defines improper as
.snot proper; not suited to the
circumstances. design or end:
not appropriate. At or congruous:
not accordant with propriety or
good taste or manners.
voided as 'Vague"
Obviously, the decision as to
what persons might be denied
liquor under this law would have
been made according to the
Of the judge. So the
court tossed the whole thing out
|as being ''unconstitutionally
vague" Here is what it said:
"The phrase improper person
employed In the statute admits
of such arbitrary Interpretation

las to make the provision un-

Unite. The Interpretation placed
on the phrase by one Judge may
seem the rankest injustice to
another. depending entirely upon
the prohibition philosophy Of
the particular judge"
tOther types Of restrictions.
of course, are specific and thus
entirely legal. Most States pro-
hibit the sale of liquor to
minors or to intoxicated per-
sons, and States which hold
q monopoly on liquor usually
prohibit credit transactions.)
Contrast to Others
However. It is interesting to
contrast this system Of law,
which requires q precision Of
definition based on principle.
with other systems which may
develop on the basis Of a de-
sired result.
The latter method has been
Ia great headache TO Soviet jurists
who were ordered by the Central
ICommittee of the Communist
Party in l946 to get busy and
make Russian law conform tc
"the light Of Comrade Stains
teachings" Seven or eight oi
IRussia's most gifted legal
scholars have run into trouble
with state authorities because,
apparently. they were too precise
lin laying out Stalin's teachings,
They couldn't make their views
square with those Of the Com
Imittee.
There Is an old Russian
|proverb which says: THE law Il
like the tongue Of q wagon; II
turns whichever way you pull
it," And that is Just about 180-
degree variation from the idea
the Virginia court was trying
TO get across.
