DON'T-Forget to check the

DON'T-Neglect to place some
mortar or building paper over

DON'T-Expect q dry well to
solve all your drainage problems;
in severe cases, 3 or 4 wells are

Here Are Some Tips
On Using Bowel Pins

and this also roughens the sur
face, allowing the glue to get a
hold. The fit of the dowel pin
must not be sloppy yet you
should be able to insert it full
depth with the fingers.
The hole locations in one
member are determined and
marked with a center punch.
The bit must be held exactly
perpendicular to the surface. If
you drill the holes by hand, at
tach vertical piece of wood to
the member or use a trisquare as
Ia guide. Holes should be "a
inch deeper than the length of
dowel pin inserted into it. This
allows space for the glue.
The locating of the holes in
the second member is the only
difficult part of the job. This
can be done by making a paper
pattern for the layout of the
holes in both members, or you
can use inexpensive dowel
points. These are pieces of metal
that fit the dowel holes. The
outer surface has a point at the
center. You will need two points
for each size dowel that YOU use.
Fit the points into the holes al
ready drilled in one member,
then lay the two pieces to be
joined on a fiat surface and
bring the parts carefully to-
gether. A light hammer blow
makes an impression of the
points for drilling the second
set of holes.
When assembling the parts,
make a thin application of glue
to the sides of the hole and to
the dowel pin. Beware of using
too much as this could split the
wood. Bind or clamp the parts
firmly together until the glue
has dried.
Enamel on Wood Checks
I'VE had vanished woodwork
in our kitchen. This was painted
over, first with an enamel I'M
dercoat and then with enamel.
Now, after a year, the enamel
is all checked. What did we do
wrong?" Miss M. d. asks.
Answer-Any of several things
could have caused this. Since
the woodwork was in the kitch-
en-, perhaps you neglected to re-
move the film of grease that is
always on the surface in this
room. Undercoater and enamel
should be the products of the
same manufacturer so that they
are formulated to 60 together,
otherwise checking may result.

cannot mention trade names in

Mastic Cement on Tile
please tell me how to remove
the maStic that has hardened
on the surface of plastic tile, !"
Mrs. S. B. requests.
Answer-This mastic that has
hardened on the surface is gen.
orally considered impossible to
remove. Instructions which come
with the tile specifically warn
against allowing this to happen.
At the peril of causing a fire
or damaging the tile even more,
you might try benzene but
suspect it will be wasted energy

The final and most likely cause
could be failure to dull the gloss
Of the varnish. This is done to

paint will be able to bond firmly
to the surface. Rubbing the
surface with No. 90 wet garnet
paper and water is the best way
to accomplish this. Now, if you
want a first-class job, you have
no other choice than to remove
the enamel with paint remover
and start over.

The average garage door is
composed Of four folding sections
which are equipped with rollers
running in track which incloses
them. The rollers are attached
to hinge pin which serves as
their axle as well as a hinge pin
for the hinge itself.
One Of the main reasons for a
garage door becoming difficult OF
imperative is that the bolts OF
screws, fastening the hinges to
the door, become loose and cause
the rollers to wobble in the track
and at times bind and stick.
Forcing the door simply bends
the hinge-pin and results in per-
manent damage. The hinges
lust be kept tightly fastened.
The second reason for trouble
18th a garage door relates to the
pring and cable which balance
he weight of the door. When
correctly adjusted the door
should open with one finger and
close as easily.

There is no time like that
when the family is away to
catch up on some of those re-
pair jobs around the house. I
don't have to tag along to the
supermarket or go looking for a
new lamp for the living room, or
interrupt my activity every few
minutes to exert parental au-
thority over the offspring.
l can wear those old comfort
able clothes that were thrown
into the rag bag while my back
was turned, and I do not even
have to shave every morning. I
can devote all that time to &C
complishing the project of the
moment which happens to be
remodeling a bedroom suite.
1t was one of those horrors
that was too new to be antique
and yet so old and battered that
we kept the door to that room
closed when we had company.
In the process of rebuilding,
many dowel pins were used and
that furnished the thought for
this discussion. Doweled joints
are simple to make, they have
great strength and they are I'M
doubtedly the most widely used
method of connecting wood in
furniture construction. They
can also be used to advantage
when making frames for
screens.
bowels are generally available
in 3-foot lengths and are from
"a inch to l inch in diameter
The best type have a spiral
groove cut into the surface but
these are not always obtainable.
The proper size and length are
dictated by judgment and ex-
perience but a good rule is that
bowels should not be less than
two inches long nor more than
four inches long. The diameter
Of the dowel should not be more
than half of the thickness OF
the face of the wood into which
it is to be inserted. For instance,
a half Inch dowel should be the
largest size used in the edge of
a board one inch thick. Two
small bowels have greater
strength than one large one.
Since a bit having the same
diameter as the dowel is always
used to drill the hole. the dowel
pins must be reduced in diam
eter before being used. A wood
rasp or shoemaker's file is used

Proper Garage Door Care
Will Yield Smooth Operation

A heavy coil-spring is on the
end of the cable which is fast
ened to the lower section of the
door. and is powerful enough to
match the door weight. When
the turnbuckle on the rear end
|of the spring is screwed UP or
turned of properly, the door
works easily. but when the bal
ance is off the door binds. A few
minutes time spent in adjusting
the spring for perfect balance
pays dividends.
In spite of weather stripping
and good construction, a lot of
moisture gets through the aver
age door and results in rusting
pins and the roller bearings. Luz
IRRIGATION of all moving parts, by
means Of the oil holes which are
in all the hinges. will result in
smooth operation.

The cure is simply to open a

Anyone with suppressed
musical ambitions will be in
trigued by a new series of re-
corded concertos being issued
by Vanguard.
The records bear the unex-
pected direction: You play
the solo," and enforce it by eff
fective misunderstanding the
solo out!
Only a conductor or or
chestra player normally gets a
chance to view the insides of
concerto before the soloist
arrives to distract attention
a chance. SO to speak, to SAM
pie the cake before the appli-
cation Of the icing.
It is a rather striking expe-
rience. For instance, imagine
the start of the Grieg concerto.
There is the usual brisk drum
roll and emphatic chord, then
for 20 seconds - nothing.
The silence, as someone I'M
scientifically said, Is deafening.
But of course there is much
besides silence. These discs
uncover things no one but the
conductor or composer ever
noticed before. Some cavort-
ing by the double BASES, or
an impromptu horn solo, for
example. Or a capricious pizzi-
cato phrase by the violins.
Why Not Voice Rcle Too?
Records of chamber music
with a performer missing
have been available before,
but think this is the first
such venture on such a
grandiose level. 1t suggests
interesting possibilities. There
is no reason. for example, for
stopping with the instru-
mental realm. One can
imagine the usefulness of a
so per cent recording of
Schubert's "Winterreise" or
the Tristan and Isolde" love
duet. How about the quartet
from "Rigoletto," as trio. duo
or solo to suit variable circum-
stance?
