"The floor in my home is a
concrete slab covered with
asphalt tile. ! would like to
cover these floors with wall
to-wall carpet but a friend
who did this last year tells me
that my carpets will be
ruined by mildew just as hers
have been. Is there no way
that this trouble can be pre-
vented?" Mrs. w. w. M.
writes.
Answer-If a vapor barrier
is placed beneath a concrete
floor when the floor is being
built, it will prevent moisture
rising through the concrete
from the earth. This moisture
is the cause of most mildew
in carpets. but not always,
since mildew sometimes dam
ages carpet over wood floors.
especially if the house is
closed for a week or more
during warm humid weather.
Two forms of vapor barrier
are acceptable. Saturated
felt laid over the earth fill
and mopped with hot tar has
been used for many years. A
newer product is polyethylene
plastic film.
Unless you can get the
information from the archi-
tect or builder of your home.
there is no way to know if
this vapor barrier is present
or not. A test that you can
make, although it is not in
fallible, is to lay a piece of
linoleum on the floor for sew

eral days. If there is any
sign of moisture beneath it
when it is removed, the floor
is not safe for carpeting.
Vent Fon
"Our kitchen has a venti-
lation fan in the ceiling over
the stove. 1t discharges di-
rectly into the attic space.
There is a ventilator on the
roof, but very little of the
cooking fumes seem to go
out through this ventilator.
the greater part going out
through the lowers in the
gables. Would you consider
this a proper installation"
c. E. c. asks.
Answer This installation
is not only improper-it is
downright dangerous and
could easily burn down your
house. This installation is
prohibited by many building
codes and the Federal Hous-
ing Administration does not
allow it. 4 kitchen fan must
be connected by a continu-
Gus duct to the outdoors.
Cooking vaporS contain
grease. In the installation
you have, this grease is
blown into the attic and de-
posted on the house struc-
ture there. Should a skillet
of fat on the stove catch
fire, the flame could be

Here are the Elements
Of a Plumbing System
By DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributing Writer

Many requests have been
received for data covering
the installation of a proper
plumbing system for a small
house. No doubt this is be-
cause thousands of young
people are building their own
houses or adding to them,
and have found that the
plumbing system is about
the most costly item in the
process.
To make a long story
short, a plumbing system is
composed of three major in
stallations of pipe. The
drainage system carries of
all used water from the fix
lures. The vent system pro-
vides for a constant flow Of
fresh air through the drain
age system and also prevents
the formation of vacuums
which might retard flow offs.
The water supply system
is entirely separate from
either the drainage or the
vent system, and is never in
any way directly connected
to them.
Any one intending to in
stall his own plumbing
should note that there is
quite a difference in the
rules and regulations of
various villages, counties,
cities and states of this
country.
There is no shortcut to
a sanitary plL.h0ing SysLeAl,

the winter than other grasses.
1t is a grass that is also
widely used as a winter cover
crop to keep the soil from
eroding and it will add much
humus to the soil. If used
as a winter lawn grass use
6 to 7 pounds of seed per
1000 square feet of area.
GIods
Now that the soil moisture
is more normal it is most
important that the summer
Towering bulbs, especially
the gladiolus, be dug as soon
as the foliage begins to turn
brown. Otherwise the corms
will rot. Leave the dahlias
in the ground for a week or
more after a killing frost to
mature. The top should be
removed Immediately after
being blackened by frost.
Kill Gorlie
Wild garlic (wild onion) is
beginning to show in the
lawns. 1t is easily killed at
this season with a spray of
2,4-D. Apply when the air
is still and there is the mini
mum danger of spray drift.
Forcing Bulbs
Now is a good time to pot
up bulbs for forcing. 1t is
usual to put l hyacinth, 6
Roman hyacinths, 3 daffodils,
5 or 6 tulips, or 10 crocus in
a 6-inch pot. After planting
the pots should be placed in
a trench or pit out-of-doors
where they will receive mois-
ture and make good root
growth. Cover with leaves SO
that the pots may be lifted
as wanted during the winter,
Peony Culture
If the peonies we're not fer
tilted earlier, that job can
still be done. A handful OF
5-1O-5 or similar mixture
should be sprinkled around
each clump. Perhaps at time
of feeding the grass can be
removed from the clump and
the planting depth checked
If the plant has settled SC

growth. A liquid fertilizer
applied after a thorough wa
tering is considered best.
Leaf Menace
Do not let fallen leaves
pile up on the lawn-they
will smother the grass. It is
feasible to chop them up
with a mulching attach
ment on the lawn mower and
to leave them on the lawn
to act as plant food when
they decay.
Planting
The normal planting sea-
son for rose bushes, lilacS
and other deciduous trees
and shrubs is only a month
away and so it is not too
early to place orders and to
prepare planting holes. The
planting can be done at any
time after the plants attain
dormancy. Nurseries tn a t
obtain their stock from
northern growing areas will
be able to supply orders
much earlier than those who
buy from the Far West or
the South.
Ponsies
It is not too early to buy
pansy plants and set them
out. For the few cents they
cost per bundle. they give
most generous returns Usu-
ally the fall planted plants
produce more flowers and
last longer into the summer
than spring planted ones.
New Lowns
Clip the newly seeded
lawns when they reach a
height of 212 to 3 inches.
Never let the new reach a
height of 4 inches. Such soft
growth is easily ruined by
disease. Clipping not only
firms the tissues but stimu-
lates "stooling."
Rye Gross
Common rye grass, also
sold as Italian rye grass and
annual rye grass, makes an
excellent temporary lawn. It
will grow much later into

ScrapbOOk Date Oct. 16

Cool nights have brought
mildew to many gardens. In
most cases it is too late to
do any material injury to
most plants and may we'll be
ignored. However on roses
and perhaps on some other
shrubs it might well be con-
trolled through the applica-
ton of sulphur, Acti-dione,
Karathane or Phaltan.
Early Bulbs
Now that the soil is moist
enough for good digging, the
planting of the early-spring-
Towering bulbs - with the
exception of tulips and
Dutch iris-should be COM
pleted as early as possible.
Actually the job can be done
at any time the soil is work.
able since late planting does
not injure or spoil the flow
ers-just delays the bloom
ing next spring.
Freokish Weather
The lack of cool nights and
the unreasonable warm
weather has prevented the
normal coloring of the tree
leaves. 1t is the GOODNESS that
causes the change of color
and not the frost - frost
turns the leaves brown. This
is just another example of
the freakishness of the
weather this fall. First many
plants began to go dormant
as the expression goes, then
when the rains and the warm
weather came they started
into growth-we have heard
of a number of kinds trying
to flower at this season.

1t should be noted that all
fixtures should be equipped

available for canvas tents and
awnings. A large hardware
store should have some.
A homemade waterproofiing
method is to place a gallon
container of turpentine in a
bucket of hot water. Continue
to add more hot water until
the turpentine is heated, but
never heat it over an open
flame. Then. use a kitchen
crater to shave a pound of
paraffin into the hot turps
so that it dissolves. Apply
this hot solution to the avn
ings which must be stretched
tight.
Curing q Sick Well
II tried shooting a we'll as
you suggested but it did no
good. What is the next step?"
D. A. asks.
Answer-Most we'll points
are made of galvanized steel
and the perforations are COW
cred with copper wire. Elec-
trolytic action between the
two metals, plus minerals in
the water, may cause large
deposits to form around the
will point to obstruct the
passage of water. The only
cure is to lift the pipe and
install a new point. Stain
less steel points give less
trouble but they are more ex-
pensive.

This water is staining the

causes this and how it may

Answer - The well water
contains iron or chlorides
and these chemicals are
causing this discoloration.
A water conditioner could be
used to remove the chemicals
but the cost of operation for
so large a quantity of water
would be very expensive. The
best remedy is just be care
full not to allow the sprin-
kler to throw water on the
