it should be understood that a

can be spent at their own dis

Children should have an
allowance as soon as they can
count money, even if it is only
5 cents a week to start with.
But the teen-ager presents a
more complicated problem.
Many a parent is in the posi-
ton of Mr.. Moo. who writes
me: I'VE have one son in high
school and the second one is
now entering. We have never
given them a regular allow
ance. They think they should
have one. What amount is
customary"
OF course, it depends on the
family income and many other
things. Mr.. Moo. Let the boys
keep track of their expend-
itures for a few months, then
go into a family council and
compare the amount that they
think they need. with the
amount that your income can
afford.
At the high school age, the
allowance should be large
enough to cover not merely
their transportation and school
expenses. but probably their
clothes and recreation as well.
That will run into a stable
figure. but no more than you
have been spending.
There are several important
points to consider:
/. Decide on a definite
amount and pay it regularly.
Don't be approximate or half
hearted about it.
O. Have a clear understand
ing of what expenses the allow
ance must cover. Be as gen.
erous as you can afford, but

Mango isn't planning to

to sneak" some shut-eye
whenever she can get a break.
This she says is about a half
an hour before dinner. in be-

whenever else she can relax.

Because she strongly feels
that her appearance off-stage

concrete and is available in
many colors and patterns. Self
polishing wax is the only type
that should be used to preserve
the beauty Of asphalt tile and
keep the surface, from getting

VinyI Plastic
Vinyl plastic is the newest
floor covering. 1t is exception
ally tough. with clear, bright
colors and has great resistance
to many stains. Vinyl should
be waxed regularly for beauty,
protection and ease of clean
ing. Despite its durability, if
unwaxed, vinyl becomes
scratched and collects dirt.
One Of the advantages of vinyl
is that either type of wax can
be used on it with complete
success.
Wood is believed by many
to be the most beautiful kind
OF flooring, patterned with its
own natural grain and mel
lowed with cleaning wax.
Paste wax is the old reliable
polishing material. but more
recently housewives have been
turning to a liquid wax that
cleans as it is applied. All
kinds of wood hoors-oak,
walnut, ash, elm, chestnut.
maple, birch, beech, fir, pine,
ARE susceptible to wear and
need the protection of wax.
In old days, the priceless
parquet floors of European
castles were polished by serv-

The proper care of floors
has become increasingly i'm
portant with the turn of the
trend from heavily carpeted
areas toward more widespread
use of polished wood and re-
silent surfaces.
The problem was fairly sim
pie in the days when practi-
cally all underfootine was just
wood, but with the current
development of new and varied
kinds Of flooring materials it
is helpful to have a wider
knowledge of maintenance
products and techniques.
There are three things con-
corning flooring that the
housewife should know:
/. The material of which
the flooring is made.
2. Which of the basic types
of wax should be used for that
material.
3. The best methods OF day
to-day care between waxingS.
The major types Of flooring
in use today are linoleum, both
in roll and tile form, with or
without inlaid patterns: as
phalt tile, the most popular
material with "do-it-your-
sellers; vinyl plastic, because
Of its durability; rubber tile,
in many new colorS and pat
terms: wood, either planking
parquet tiles, and cork, a luxu-
rious flooring now much more
practical than in the past.
Other types found in homes
are concrete. brick and flag
stone, pigskin leather. terrazzo
and ceramic tile.
Two Types
The two types of floor wax
are self-polishing and polish
ing.
Self-polishing wax is a water
emulsion. 1t always comes in
liquid form and has hardly any
odor. 1t is spread on floors,
preferably with a long-handled
applicator, and allowed to dry
to tough. shiny finish. 1t re-
quires no huf1ng and can be
used on any type Of flooring
except unsealed wood.
The other type Of wax--pol-
ishing wax-comes either as a
paste or a liquid. 1t contains
a naptha like solvent which is
easy to detect by smell. This
type Of wax requires buf11ng
after being applied to floors.
Because of the solvent, POLISH
ing wax should never be used
on asphalt tile floors. 1t may
soften the flooring. pit it and
cause colors to run.
The newest floor wax, only
gently introduced by a we'll
:nown wax company, combines
he best features of both Of the
above types and can be used on
all kinds Of flooring. It is
self-polishing wax that pro-
tects like paste wax. 1t will
not water-spot and can be
buffed to renew the luster If
the floor becomes scuded.
Damp hopping not only re-
moves dirt but improves the
gloss without removing the
wax film. This product is for
INFLATED from imported, hard
natural wakes of the type
found in paste wax.
Linoleum is still the most
widely used floor covering.
Printed felt base floor cover
ings are cheaper than inlays
because. as the name indicates.
patterns are merely printed on
the surface with enamel or
paint. The finish Of both types
becomes very dull unless pol
ished and protected with wax.
Floor experts say that linoleum
or felt base floor coverings
maintained regularly with
either self-polishing or polish
ing wax last many times longer.

able and inexpensive flooring
