coat Of a primer and one
coat of flat white paint. Soon

again. What causes this and
what must I do to prevent it

AnSwer-Calcimine Is good
for about three years and
then it starts to peel. All of it
must be removed before
repainting, else that remain
ing on the plaster will con-
tinue to peel beneath the
new paint and spoil the
work.
Most c alcimine can be
washed off with a sponge
and warm water. Use medi-
UNI grade steel wool on stub
born areas. Allow the plaster
to dry thoroughly before
painting.

Perhaps few fur

Storm windows should be

Shrinkage of the wood or
settling Of the house may
alter this condition. Screws in
the hinges pulling loose also
is a major cause of ill-fitting
doors. '&-|
When a door does not fit
properly. the first attempt at
a cure. should be to tighten
the screws that fasten the
hinges. Use a large screw
driver and pull in the screws
as tight as possible. If a
screw continues to turn, in
dicating it is not holding,
remove 1t, drive q wood plug
into the hole and replace the
screw. In some instances it
may be necessary to use a
screw Of the same, diameter
but 2la or 3 inches. long that
will extend through the jamb
and hold in the 3 by 4 stud
behind it, Starter holes must
be drilled for such long
screws.
Using Shims
Sometimes there is too
much space on one side of
the door and not enough on
the other and the door strikes
the jamb. The easy way to
correct this trouble is to back
out the screws on the jamb
side and place cardboard
Shims behind the hinges.
Shims behind the outer
edges of the hinges will move
the door toward the hinge
side and shims beneath the
inner edge will move the door
toward the latch side. Shims
may be placed beneath one
or both hinges as may be
necessary to properly posi-
ton the door.
In some instances 1t may
be necessary to move both
hinges in or out to obtain
the proper clearances. All
such adjustments should be
made on the jamb side Of
the hinge, rather than on the
door side -
Failure to Latch
A frequent cause of an
noyance is the inability of
the latch to engage in the
strike plate. Usually, you can
see the trouble by directing
a flashlight into the space
adjacent to the latch. II this
does not work, mix powdered
, whiting or cleansing powder
with water and paint this
paste over the strike, then let
it dry. When you close the
door, the latch will rub away

For one thing, magician Car

in his adroit handling Of the

seen few stories in which the
playing of a complicated gamb-
ling game was fundamental to
the story and yet enthralled
non-playing viewers. He
achieved this principally by re-

core, the art Of the bluff, and
inserting into the game a

a heart attack as he pleaded
a chance to raise some more
money to back his obviously
fine cards by selling his wagon

Into the game came his dis

players finally agreed to let her
go across the street to the bank
(run by a notoriously tight
fisted banker, played by John
