/ ly, painting in an apartment il
not as easy a. 1t Is in . house
where you can work In the base.
ment or in the back yard. Be-
fore you begin, you must ask
yourself whether the bright new
look you hope to achieve will be
worth a few days Of living in q
|meSs.
We believe you'll find the re-
suits are worth the temporary
upheaval. New fast-drying
odorless paints make the job
more pleasant, and planning can
limit the clutter.
Isolate the piece being painted
by putting it in the least-used
corner Of your living space. An
old canvas or plastic shower cur
tain makes a good drop cloth to
protect floors and furniture from
paint splatter. A layer Of papers
four or five PHYS thick will dc
about as well. The protective
cover should extend at least
three feet beyond all sides OF
the article you're painting. Raise
the piece above the protective
cover by setting it on wood
blocks. Light tables and chairs
can be raised by driving broad
headed nails into the bottom OF
each leg. This viii allow you to
paint to the bottom without hav-
ing the piece stick to- the pro-
tective cover.
Sand the wood carefully, wipe
clean with a cloth dampened In
turpentine. then stroke the paint
on, smoothly working from TOP
to bottom,

APARTMENT FORUM
By NORMA and DON

Iment dweller comes to buy floor
covering, she's faced with the
problem of cost and the uncer-
tainty of how long it will be
before she moves and her floor
covering needs are changed.
A young University Of Mary
land instructor reports he has
solved both price and adaptable
ity problems by covering the
apartment floor with hemp
squares.
While hemp Is not as soft as
more traditional floor covering
materials, it is flexible. Indi-
Ividual squares can be rearranged
to suit any shape of room. Extra
squares can be added If you move
to a larger apartment, or surplus
squares can be stored if you
move into smaller quarters.
In addition, the light hemp
color blends well with natural
woods and provides a good back
ground for colorful modern fur
niture.
Here's an extra tip on carpet
ing: If carpeting comes within
4 to 6 inches of the wall, it will
give about the same effect as
lii it is extended wall-to-wall and
will be substantially less expen-
sive.
Doubling Shelf Storage-Be-
lieve it or not, you can increase
the shelf storage space in your
closets for the cost Of lumber
and surprising little effort.
The secret is that most closets
have only one shelf. When this
/ is piled high, you still have good
storage space between the top
of the pile and the ceiling. A
shelf -doubler takes advantage
of this extra space.
First, say a standard 1-inch-
|by-12-inch-wide board the same
length as the shelf already in
your closet. Measure the dis
tance from the closet shelf to
the ceiling. divide that distance
in half, and saw two more pieces
Of the 12-inch-wide board to
that length.
Then place the two shorter
pieces on the present closet shelf
and against either wall as sup
ports. Lay the new shelf on top
and fasten with a few small
nails. The amount of added
storage space win amaze you.
AWord to Painters-Admitted-
Evening star., 1955-06-11

A Bride Asks-"We're planning
to live in an apartment a few
years, then move into our own
house. Since the apartment will
be our first home. we'd like to
make it as nice as we can. AT
the same time. we're wondering
whether 1t would be foolish to
spend on the apartment when we
can make do with odds and ends
until we move into the house?'
The problem raised by this
typical question can only be
decided by the individuals them
selves. As young apartment
dwellers are learning, however
it's now possible to have your
cake and eat it, so far as apart
ment decoration is concerned.
With careful planning, newly
weds can select both furniture
and accessories which will make
their apartment attractive now
and which also will be useful
when they move into a larger
apartment or into a house.
Rustic. wrought-iron or even
canvas porch furniture can be
worked into pleasing apartment
decorating schemes, then be used
later in a game room, studio OF
porch.
The dining area table can be
selected for eventual use in q
breakfast room. Multiple-pur-
pose pieces such as sofa-and-bed
combinations will fit into some
future combination study and
guestroom.
OF course, one solution is to
use pieces borrowed from the
family and picked up in second
hand places, thus putting off
major buying until you've saved
for 1t.
The danger that you'll be
stuck with those make do" items
for many years may be greater
than you imagine. That danger
can be avoided by choosing pieces
for your first apartment with
long-term needs in mind.

Don Cockell lost his battle for

Of thousands"
Several other writer's criti-
cized Marciano for what they
called "low blows and fouls"
Don's mother, Mrs. Mary Pot
ter, heard the fight over the
radio. although it was 4 am. in
England.
Il am proud Of him but I was
terribly worried" she said after
wards. "He did his best but the
stronger man won. I am glad
the fight was stopped. With
Don's courage and determine
ton, he would have kept on as
long as his feet would let him
stand"
There wasn't a hint in the
afternoon papers that Marciano
didn't deserve to win. but the
game showing Of the Battersea
blacksmith was the main topic
in the fight stories.
Bill McGowran of the Evening
News conceded Marciano was the
better man, but added: Rocky
even ran true to form by deliv-
ering the usual sneak blow after
the bell. and landed a blow
when Don was squatting on his
launches"

books will call it an easy win.

couraged. Ted Broadribb i'm

The champions nose, getting
its first test since Charles split
it last September, stood up
beautifully. Marciano caressed it.
"Yeh, he hit me on it q couple
Of times" he said, 'but you can
see he didn't hurt It,"
The nose did look unmarked.
And the Marciano nose is prom

WE'LL went to Cockell's quar-
ters and told the British hog
farmer, you were a great fighter
tonight. Go out and win one or
two and we'll fight you again"
Standing beside Marciano in
Rocky's room, Well said he
hoped Cockell ''gets what's
coming to him now"
"He certainly didn't get it be-
fore the fight" he added. He'll
give any heavyweight plenty of
trouble after what Rocky handed
out tonight"
Cockell said he'd leave San
Francisco Thursday for New
York, and leave there May

to resume training in four
months. Despite his and Simp-
sons complaints. Cockell said
he'd be willing to meet Marciano

Cockell called Marciano a
worthy champion. but said Rocky
wasn't the hardest puncher he
ever fought.

Barton back in l948 was tougher
and I've been hit harder" Don
said. "But Rocky's more persist

Marciano was awkward" and
"ducked."

The advance stories from Cali

nights Marciano-C -Cockell cham
pionship fight wouldn't amount
to much, SO it wasn't surprising
that the Capitol Theater was less
than half full for its exclusive
Tin Washington closed circuit

Washington fight showing wasn't
a complete sellout hours before

Those fans who did come, at
$3.50 and 81 a copy, were treated
to a much better fight than ex-

fuzziness on the big screen, and

The cameras got a good view
of everything athat went on
except that, as usual, the blood
mentioned by the announcer
wasn't evident on television.
As a whole, the theater Gus
toners appeared not to expect
much from Cockell and were
pleasantly surprised when he
stood up and fought with Mar
ciano. Cockell won a lot of
friends in the second round and
there were gasps of amazement
at the way he absorbed Mar
ciano's best punches and tried
to come in for more in the later
rounds.
When the Englishman finally
was stopped, the audience
erupted in roar of cheering. as

died last night as a boxing club
for lack of television cash.
After three years of operation
and 1856 shows, the roller skat-

doors to the pugilists. The dis
tinction of winning the last video
feature at the club went to Hardy
(Bazooka) Smallwood of Brook

The promoters at the small
club didn't have their TV con-

Took Lot of Chopping
Perhaps the most memorable
thing about last nights brutal
fight was that it took a lot of
chopping by Marciano to cut
down the durable Britisher, but
whack him down. he did, be-
fore a crowd of only 18,200 that
paid 96.720 on a chilly eve
ming.
Fifty-four seconds and an as

ninth round got under way, the
ower-punching Marciano dis

as Referee Brown stopped the
scheduled 15-rounder..
The end was sighted in the
sixth, drew nearer when the
game Britisher was sent through
the ropes head first at the bell
ending the eighth and the cli-
max came when Cockell was
smashed to the canvas twice al
most as soon as the ninth round
began.
It took eight counts for the

himself up from the seat Of his

back down he went. He man

Ignoring the mask Of red, If
possible, the fact remained that
he was out on his feet, his val

Marciano was unblemished.
Even his vulnerable nose, sliced
open by Ezz Charles last Sep
