The two strands are twist

Can. Help Cool
Your Home

You can catch the prevailing
breeze by proper landscaping and
window arrangement. Experts
at Texas Engineering Experiment
Station, say:
/. Landscaping around q house
must be such that the breeze is
channeled toward doors and
windows.
Since dense shrubbery can hold
back or defect wind, keep plant
ing low and well trimmed around
house openings. New trees should
not be put in the way Of prevail
ing wind. Those already in place
should be trimmed to guide the
air. (Trees and vegetation also
exert a cooling effect on the air
itself.)
2. Windows should be located
so they receive the cl1anneled
breeze.
For maximum cooling (swiftest
air movement through the house,
outlet windows should be larger
than inlet openings.

Ceiling Height
Contrasts Are
Popular

Architectural observers see
taller living rooms becoming
more in demand in new houses.
These experts think the split
level house, many Of which have
story-and-a-half living room
heights, partly responsible for
this trend.
Contrast" says one critic,
makes any house more inter-
esting. A small house with a
so-called cathedral ceiling in its
living room and low ceilings in
the bedrooms has an important
looking living room by contrast
with unimportant looking bed
rooms. 1t also has intimate look
ing bedrooms in contrast to the
pacious-looking living room.
The result is the whole house
is more interesting"

A brand-new version Of the
modern kitchen has just beer
completed by the Agriculture
Department after two years Of
research.
Experts at the Agricultural
Research Service at Beltsville
call this new development an
energy saving kitchen" It
started out as a design to help
out the workload Of heart
patients and others disabled by
chronic diseases or old age.
But the new kitchen is a
logical plan for anyone, say the
researchers. 1t saves steps,
eliminates Unnecessary reaching,
and let's the housewife sit down
to do much of her work.
A prototype is on display at
the Clothing and Housing Re-
search Branch of the Service
at BeltSville. 1t is a room roughly
ID feet square and contains areas
for food preparation, service,
storage. laundry and home Office
work. 1t is designed for a home
without a basement, though it
issadaptable for any home.
"A. center island has a wall
refrigerator backed up by a
built-in desk and shelves. The
kitchen is designed to fit in q
corner Of the home.
Some Of the ideas are already
IN use by some builders. Others
were developed over the past
two years by researchers on the
basis Of studies directed by DR..
Earl McCracken Of the Clothing
ana Housing Research Branch
at Beltsville. Largely, these
studies had to do with the ex-
penditure Of energy by the
housewife.
/: DR.. McCracken'S work shows
That the space between ~ inches
TO So inches from the floor is the
most economical in terms of
saving energy for the woman of
average height. So the kitchen
IS designed without high over
mead storage cabinets and with

the sink is the center island
with eye-level. three-compart-
ment refrigerator. There is q
counter beneath 1t and under
the counter a wheel cart is stored
This is used to carry food to
the table, or on which to stack
dishes.
On the side opposite the din
cite table is the electric range
and a wall oven. The four burn
ers on the range are spaced SO
that the housewife need not
reach over one burner to get to
another.
The bottom of the oven is 81
inches from the floor. The first
shelf in the oven is IS inches
from the floor. and the broiler
is just above it. Again, research
ers point out, it is easy to rech.
Serving dishes are kept in a wall
cabinet above the oven. Next
to the oven is a door to the
dining room.
"You take the pushcart, pick
up the food from the range. stop
by the refrigerator for salads
and put it all on the table ready
to eat" a home economist
explained.
when you're finished dinner,
stack the dishes on the cart,
push it to the sink. sit down and
rinse and wash them"

This research kitchen is a place
to sit down to work. There's
little pulling or pushing Of doors
and drawers. The drawers and
sliding shelves have metal glides
so they can be operated easily no
matter how heavy the load. For
the most part, the shelves are
adjustable for height.

gives no figures on the cost of
the kitchen. which would vary
with the builder and various
special notifications. Detailed
plans will be made available
shortly.

New Solution
Can Remove
Wallpaper
BY d. M. DERWIN

There are several ways 70 re-
move wallpaper.
Many people use plain water,
which works after q fashion but
the method is slow and labor
some. However. most Of the
wallpapers made and sold in re-
cent years are washable and as
such they resist water. That is
the main reason that water is
not considered effective.
Wallpaper steamers. in use for
several years. do q good job Of
loosening the paper from the
wall but. in the process, saturate
the room with moisture.
The easiest and most efiicient
way to remove wallpaper is to
use a wallpaper remover. A
wallpaper remover now being
marketed is a concentrated ma
terial which, when added to
warm water, produces q solution
that penetrates the surface coat
ing and soaks through the paper
with remarkable speed.
1t also dissolves the paste on
the back Of the wallpaper so
that the paper will lift Of the
wall or the ceiling easily with
the aid of a scraper, according
to the maker.
This solution can be applied
with a sponge, paint roller or
coarse spray such as a vacuum
cleaner spray.
The solution should be given
time to soak through the paper
and paste. In some instances,
depending on the type and num-
Der Of layers of paper, several
applications may be necessary.
Score the paper from the wall as
soon as it Is loose and while the
wallpaper is still moist. The re-
mover is available in three sizes:
half-pint. pint and quart.
New Type Clothesline
Laundry can now be hung
without clothespins and hold
firmly in the strongest winds by
Ia new type clothesline that
makes drying outdoors much
easier and safer. This new
.clothesline consists Of two
strands Of solid steel, each COW

low cabinets only for those
things seldom used.
Facing a large picture window
lis double sink with one basin
on a level lower than the other
The housewife may sit with
knees under the raised bowl on
a swivel chair.
Beneath the lower bowl is a
trash bin, with a trash receptacle
mounted on wheels to be pushed
outside easily.
To the left is a counter under
which is an automatic dish
washer. So far, the housewife
can just sit, empty trash, rinse
dishes and place them in the
washer.
A dish closet is next to the
washer. The shelves are ar
ranged for a minimum of reach
ing. A pull-out shelf has cleo
trical appliances such as toaster,
coffee percolator and frying pan
permanently installed.
This makes 1t easy for the
hostess, sitting at the head of
the dinette table, to turn her
swivel chair around and pick up
the coffee for serving, without
getting up.
On the other side of the sink,
the mixing counter can be used
from a comfortable spot on an
Office chair. Adjoining it in the
corner is a cabinet with revolv-
ing shelves, easily reached from
the chair. In the wall over the
counter are bins for sugar, flour,
wax paper and silver foil. The
electric mixer, mounted on wood,
rolls out of a wall cabinet on
ball bearings.
All this seems like the next
thing to a completely push
