Question:

Q-I'm planning to varnish some
cabinets. How can ] avoid lot of
hard rubbing and polishing to remove
the air bubbles that will form on the
surfaces?
Airy thinning the varnish with
one part turpentine to five parts var
nish. Then stir it-don't shake it-for
10 or Is minutes. Let il stand for
"a hours to allow the Varnish and
turpentine to completely flow to-
gether. After this, the varnish should
flow on without air bubbles.
Q-How can / keep screws from
coming loose and popping out of soft
wood from the weight of the fixtures
I've attached to the wood?
A-Make small starter holes and
fill them with thick glue. The screws
will then force the glue into the sur
rounding wood fibres and voids, Civ
ing the wood increased hardness and
resistance to screw pull-outs.
Q-The room we're planning to add
to our home vii lhave roof that is
almost flat. The house was recently
reroofed with asphalt shingles. Can
we use asphalt shingles on the addi-
ton?
Asphalt shingles can be applied
to roofs that slope as little as two
inches per horizontal foot. A new
technique makes use of special pre-
cautions that protect the roof against
leaks which might otherwise develop
because of the relatively low pitch.
! Before starting on your guest room,
check with you roofing contractor to
make sure your plans call for roof
with at least the minimum two-inch
slope.

Shut Hot Air
Out OF House
For Cool Day

Capturing" cool night air is one
way to keep a house from feeling the
full effects of hot summer days.
In most homes, this can be done
by closing the house up as tightly as
possible in the morning to keep sun
light and hot daytime air from warm
ing the cooler air that has entered the
house during the night.
Even during long, midsummer
heat waves, there is often as much
as a 20-degree difference in tempera-
ture between the coolest early morn
ing hours and the hottest part of the
afternoon.
The method of capturing cool night
air works best in a Well-inSulated
house. Thick mineral wool-at least
four inches in ceilings and three
inches i'm the Walls-sloWs down the
penetration of outside heat Owners
of existing houses can have mineral
wool insulation blown pneumatically
into these areas. Bats and blankets
are available for installation by
home-owners or professionals where
the wall or ceiling construction per-
mits the material to be fitted in place.
Awnings, shade trees, reflective
screening, and vine-covered trellises
also are important, since these block
direct rays of sun.
Once a house has insulation and
outside shading, good routine TO
follow for more summer comfort is:
1. Close all windows before the sun
has had a chance to warm up outside
air.
2. Draw shades, curtains, or drapes
tightly on the sunny side. The heavier
and more Opaque these are, the more
effective they are.
3. Keep doors closed throughout the
day. Teach children to 60 in and ou
quickly.
A. Use kitchen exhaust fan to ge
rid OF cooking heat and moisture
Automatic clothes dryers also shoulc
be vented outside.

evenings. The "swifts" are aptly
named, for probably they are the
swiftest birds in our nation. State
ments about their speed are esti-
mates, of course, but observers have
stated a swift may travel thousand
miles a day in its sky-sweeping
travels for insects. When the young
are nearly ready to leave their home
in the chimney, the swifts are usually
in the air from dawn until deep dusk.
Chimney swifts are birds of the
air; far more so than most birds.

their aerial circuses in the earl,

The Museum, despite its in

Hollywood Report:
Danny Koye Gets Starring
Role In Columbia Film
By HERBERT G. LUFT

HOLLYWOOD-In one of the most sensational
news releases from the motion picture capital this
year. Columbia Pictures told your correspondent over
the weekend that Danny Kaye will star in the filming
of Franz Werfes "Jacobowsky and the Colonel to
be made in France and Hollywood later in 1857
William Goetz, producer of the still unreleased
Warner Bros feature 'Sayonara, will guide the new
venture He flies today to Paris to meet director Peter

ness) select locations and interview French actors
The picture of S. N Behrman's Broadway hit,
based on the book by Werfe is tentatively scheduled
to 90 before the cameras November II, with Kaye
bringing his unique comedy talents to the dramatic
but subtly humorous role of the refugee Polish Jew,
Jacobowsky, the stage portrayed by the late oscar
Karlweis Kaye is currently completing Merry An
drew" at MGM and will postpone his anticipated
trip around the world to do what may be the most
important motion picture of his career.
The part of the Colonel the Polish arstocrat who
fought heroically against the Nazs and-in 1910
