Although large menus can

chased in individual units

easily into a rubber hose but
you may have trouble with
the newer plastic hose. The
best approach is to place the
ends of the plastic hose in
hot water for a few minutes.
This will soften the plastic
and enable you to insert the
splicer.
Through neglect or corro-
sion, the end fittings on a
hose occasionally require re-
placing. Replacement fittings
are available in the hard
ware store although, for some
mysterious reason, no one
seems to make a fitting as
sturdy as those that are
used on new hose. Some of
these fittings are attached
with prongs while others re-
quire a clamping ring device.
These do less damage to the
hose than the prongs, some
have a protruding screw that
can cut fingers.
Hint for hose owners: Hose
washers have a habit of fall
ing out and becoming lost,
Keep a handful in the garage
as they may be purchased for
only a few cents.

Dor made a daily inspection.
This is an imposition which
we wish to avoid. A plumber
says to have the plumbing
drained ans turn off the
heat. Others tell us that the
cold will ruin our fine china
and furniture. Please give us
your opinion"
Answer - Damage from
cold to an unoccupied house
is generally confined to some
plaster cracks. Furniture and
china should not be harmed.
Have a plumber winterize the
plumbing and heating sys-
TENS. Bottled liquids, such
as medicines and cleaning
materials that might freeze,
should be placed in the bath
tub or other safe container.
Not Waterproof
I'VE installed a shower
over the tub and had the
walls around it painted with
a paint which is now peeling
off Just as the painter said
it would. What do you sug-
gest that we do?"
Answer-If you has asked
me earlier, I would have told
you the same thing that the
painter did. Painted plaster
walls are no good around a
shower. If the plaster has
not been damaged beyond
use, cover the wall with tile
board, plastic tile or ceramic
tile.

BY HERMAN BAUM
StoF Special Writer

The weatherman is so I'M
reliable we long ago gave up
counting on his help to get
the lawn usck to a reason
ably respectable condition
and decided to place our
trust in the garden hose and
sprinkler. With a little CO.
operation on our part, the
hose will always be depend
able.
Most failures occur because
the hose had been folded
double or cars have been al
lowed to run over it. A hose
should never be stored so
that there is a tendency for
it to bend at a sharp angle.
A metal emi-circular holder
that can be installed in the
garage or attached to the
side of the house will drape
the hose in the proper shape
and add years to its life.
Few methods for destroy
ing a garden hose excel the
practice of leaving it across
the driveway and running
the car over 1t. Perhaps 1t
is expecting too much of peo-
pie to have them disconnect
the hose and move it every
time the car goes In or out
of the garage. Most hose
owners should be willing to
build two of the wood bridges
that can be placed across the
hose to protect it from the
weight of the car. Any scrap
lumber, three-quarters inch
thick, can be used.
How to Splice
The most practical method
for repairing a hose that has
developed a hole or break is
to cut out the damaged Sec
ton and then join the two
parts with a hose splicer.
There are several types of
splicers available. Be sure to
use the one intended for the
diameter hose that you are
mending. A splicer will push

high on hill. 1t came as a surprise to find it
gone two months after found it. The hill
where it stood has been excavated to build
an apartment house. Where SW has been re-
located is still mystery.
Although in an ignOble location in the
alley behind an apartment house and beside
water tower, SW can boast of being on the
highest point Of the entire 40mile belt
With excavation going on all around it,
one feared for while for the life of SW 9, one
mile from the West Corner. II wound up hap

ton for one of the stones except for the fact
that it may be in the way of one of the pos
sible entrances to super highway Route &C.
The first four stones along the Northwest
quadrant are in wooded areas behind houses.
l was impressed with the pride these lucky
residents have in their stones, and the
graciousness with which they led me through
their property to photograph the markers
Some of them have decorated the area around
the stones with flowers or have grown flower
ing vines on the iron grilleS. Although NV
seems badly SCARED from age, it does not look
to me like an original stone. II stands much too
high out of the ground. When Arlington was

the magnetic compass variation. "Var OF E"
indicates that at the time of the survey the
variation between magnetic north and true
north at Pinehurst was two minutes. It suggests
that Banneker, the astronomer-surveyOr was
taking nighttime celestial observations But
since magnetic variation constantly changes,
one wonders why the 1872 variation was carved
in eternal stone.
Of course Rock Greek Park has its stone,
NV 8, which can be found by venturing so
yards into the woods at the terminus of West
ern avenue.
Leaving the North Corner and travelling
along Eastern avenue many boundary stones
are readily discovered. NE /, which should
be in the vicinity of Georgia and Alaska ave-
nues, is the only one missing in this quadrant
NE in Tak0ma Park is fortunate in hav-
ing neighbOrs who are interested in main
tanning the landscaping. The historical sig
nificance of these markers seems to command
the respect of those fortunate enough to have
them on their land.
NE is one of the stones that can be
readily viewed from a car.
