In the coast town of Madras, a colorful cotton cloth was made especially for the sailors who sailed out of the port city. Today, madras means a thin, but strong, cotton material used chiefly for shirts and dresses. WOMAN'S WORLD Bring Your Rooms Up-to-Da- te By Discarding Some Furniture By Ertta Haley a room which was the MANY of good decoration a dec- -' ade ago today has a cluttered look which is neither in good taste nor good design. The majority of people have acquired possessions, as most people have an aquisitive instinct, and they simply cannot bear to part with them, be they bad or indiffer-ent. If you can bring yourself to part-ing with unnecessary pieces, or by substituting sleek, d pieces for some you have, a new clean look is possible for your rooms. Consider the advantages of an ronm: a nense of luxury and freedom which comes when some space is released. You'll be able to breathe again! Another freedom which every homemaker can appreciate is the ease of cleaning that comes when a room is freed of some of Its trap-pings. In the first place, there is actually less furniture to clean, and good pieces are more readily done than those which are worn and bat-tered by the years. Once a room has been stripped to its essentials, it's easy to pick up and put in order. It looks clean, even without a thoroughgoing clean-ing every day, say homemakers who have tried it. An important thing In clearing a room of clutter is to have a place floors bright and shining with a minimum of effort. A well-wor- n rug can be removed from the floor if you're renovating a room. Before waxing, however, remove stains, blemishes and dirt which have accumulated on the floor with soap and water. Use only a little water at a time and wipe it as you progress over the floor, so it is not left to swell the wood. Stub-born spots can be removed usually with steel wool. Make certain the Door Is dry be-fore waxing. Apply wax sparingly and evenly with a cloth or a long handled applier, working with the grain of the wood. Thin coats of wax will produce a perfect finish after a short time while thick applica-tions of wax cannot be brought to a hard, dry polish and are apt to be smeary. When wax has been applied, allow at least 30 minutes for the solvent to evaporate. The wax is ready to polish when it no longer feels damp. Run a polisher back and forth along the grain of the wood until the floor takes cm a soft, satiny shine and the finish is smooth and glossy. If no electric polisher Is available a weighted brush may be your solu-tion. Another is a brick wrapped in soft, clean rags. With heavy traffic, surface dirt should be removed with liquid wax every six weeks or two months and the floor On other areas less frequently used, two or three waxlngs a year should be sufficient. Several waxlngs will give the floor a beautiful finish. If properly kept up, it will remain beautiful. Wooden floors, properly tended, grow more beautiful with age. Decide Color Scheme Before Buying Rug Choose a serviceable color when you're buying a rug for the room. Another tip to remember before buying is to select a rug which can be readily cleaned. Certain types of looped rugs, though handsbme, may give difficulty when you at-tempt5 to run a sweeper or vacuum cleaner over them, while a shorter napped rug cleans much more readily. The trend today Is away from elaborate patterns in rugs, as they crowd the room and give it a clut-tered look which you are attempting to banish. It's only reasonable that a pattern seems busier, and thus seems to take up more room than a plain color. Particularly, If your rooms are small, you want to keep down the pattern as much as possible. Re-member, too, that it's more diffi-cult to work out a decorative Volish furnitur$ thoroughly . . . for everything. Some old pieces of furniture do not have the capacity for storage that new ones have, and consequently things which should be out of sight never have a place. This, naturally, clutters a room. You may be very fond of a cer-tain old chest, let's say, because It's an heirloom, but does it "pay for the space it takes" In the amount you can store in it in the way of magazines, sewing, snapshots, etc. which need a place? .. Combine Traditional With Modern Furniture ' Those who have traditional furni-ture need no longer worry about ' combining it with modern. Decora-tors realize that those with cher-ished pieces will never want to, or should they, discard them all. Now the contemporary furniture is so made that it can live happily with older pieces and their darker woods. In fact, today's most liveable rooms are departing happily from the strictly period atmosphere which was the mark of the well decorated room for many decades. You'll be seeing traditional sofas covered with fabrics In bold modern design, modern desk and chair in the same room with knotty pine chests. .i scheme with a patterned rug than a plain one as a pattern in the rug makes it difficult to use patterns in drapery and upholstery 'materials. It's best to choose the colors in your room, before rug choice Is settled. Then you can choose exact-ly the right background for your desired draperies and upholstery, In cotton, wool, rayon or combina-tions of these. Keep Furniture In Condition For Pleasing Appearance All furniture does not have to be placed against the walls to give an uncluttered look, but it should be kept in an orderly arrangement that Is determined in advance. Tenderly cared-fo- r furniture is an asset in any room and aids in giving the Impression of pleasant-ness. Wooden pieces should be kept polished so they are smooth and satiny. If neglected they are harsh and dry, and hard to dust. Small scratches, scars and scuff marks can be hidden with colored wax, which should be applied as soon as damage appears. Dally dusting is a must, but often a chore. It can be done in double quick time if you have a pair of dusting mitts so that both hands can dust at one time. Apply your wax and polishes with as much care as you do the floors and you'll be well repaid in both the appearance as well as the long-er life the furniture will give you. msg mitts for dusting quickly. In dining rooms you'll see a good dark mahogany table and it may be teamed with light, modern chairs which are more comfortable than the ones which went with the table, i Secretaries of the dark wood with their many wonderful drawers for storage are part of many, well furn-ished living rooms though chairs and sofas may be strictly modern. If you're doing some reorganizing about the furnishings in your home, plan to discard those pieces which are no longer serviceable and re-place them with pieces which are useful as well as attractive. Those things which need expensive re up-holstering or refinlshing may often be replaced with new at a saving. It may be that you need no other pieces, if you will simply discard those pieces which add nothing at-tractive or useful to the room. It may be a wrench to part with some of the things but the comfort and beauty which comes from eliminat-ing them will be well worth the ef-fort. Inexpensive Scatter Rugs May Replace Carpeting Well polished floors with attrac-tive scatter rugs are in many homes replacing overall carpeting which is expensive to replace. With waxing devices and waxes.

White Painted Walls Turned Yellow QUESTION: What can be done to keep walls that are going to be painted whit, from turning yel-low? My white painted walls have always turned yellow or have dis-colored. Would putting bluing (laundry blue) or else some blue paint in with the white paint pre-vent this discoloration? How mucn should I use in each gallon of paint? ANSWER: A good grade of paint should not turn yellow or discolor. 1 believe you bought an inexpen-sive grade. I would not advise using laundry blue. If you wish to add a small amount of blue paint to the white, it should be perfectly all right, and might help to give o good white effect. But do not at-tempt to mix the paint yourself Ask your paint dealer to mix it for you in his mechanical mixer If you try it yourself, add very small quantities of color in oil and thoroughly stir each amount, un-til you get the desired shade. America's Certificate Of Birth Issued Here Famed as the place where the word "America" first Identified the New World, the small French village of St. Die (pronounced Sahn Dee-ay- ) is still suffering from wounds inflicted by retreat-ing Nazi soldiers in the last days of World War II. Plans of U.S. citizens to aid in the reconstruction of St. Die may well forge a new link in the dura-ble old chain that has bound, the town to this continent for nearly 450 years. It was early in the Ib'th century that the St. Die geographer, Mar-tin Waldseemuller, first traced the name "America" on a map showing a vague land mass be-yond the great western sea. After studying letters by Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius) describing his voy-ages, Waldseemuller observed in his e "Introduction to Cosmography," printed in 1507: "... I do not see what is to hinder us from calling it (the new con-tinent) Amerigo or America . . . after its discoverer Americus, a man of sagacious mind .... Both Europe and Asia have got their names from women." Centuries later, in 1884, anoth-er famous son of St. Die, French Prime Minister Jules Ferry, en-tered the pages of U.S. history to present one of the most enduring symbols of Franco-America- n friendship the Statue of Liberty. 60T A COLD fi symptomatic RELIEF m M'H riODJ Removes IWtUS5lWHTUir SINKS, H tVttSY THi.llfHUlS.MNGH WUMmiDA Af OIOCIIT.

'"' j, mm .'lis n - Trees Help Keep Your House Cooler Trees are temperature controls Strategically located around a house, they may reduce the tem-perature from 5 to 15 degrees or more in the summer. As a wind-break in the winter, they can re-duce a wind to a breeze and, experts have com-puted thereby, halve the amount of fuel it takes to heat a home during the period of wind. A deciduous tree properly placed offers cooling shade in the summer and allows the sun to shine on the house in the winter Trees transpire during the sum-mer and it is the moisture emitted through the leaves that cools the surrounding atmosphere. A ma-ture tree pulls up 30 to 40 gallons of water from the soil on a mid-summer day and sprays out C8 per cent of it through the leaves. It does it silently and mysterious-ly. A big old elm will have about a million leaves, or an acre of leaf surface as part of its humidi-fying machinery. At the same time it casts a pool of shadow 100 feet in diameter. Many trees set their leaves so that they flutter and spin in the softest breeze to take man's thoughts away from the heat of the day. When composed, a silver maple is clothed in dark green foliage. Then a little breath of air will suddenly turn over all the leaves on one side and the undersides will flash like silver in the sun. A breeze barely felt on the cheek will set the leaves of a trembling aspen into a restless, gyrating dance. Fingerprints In Walls Are 1,200 Years Old FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. Finger marks 8 to 12 centuries old have been found preserved in the burned clay walls of a Cohonina Indian house uncovered near here by University of Illinois arche-ology students. Under leadership of Prof. John C. McGregor of Illinois, and work-ing in cooperation with the Mu-seum of Northern Arizona, they have found the first burned-ou- t home of these little-know- n Indians who lived in this area between 700 and 1100 A. D. This is the second summer dur-ing which an expedition from Illi-nois has studied Cohonina remains near here. The burned clay of the low wall just uncovered shows "wattle and daub" type of con-struction. Posts were buried in the ground with sticks and fibers cross-wove- n and the whole covered with clay. Finger marks of the long-gon- e builders are perfectly preserved in this hard clay. Found in the house was broken pottery which may be restored for later study, Professor McGregor said. Forgotten Isles Are United States Wards Cruise the fabled Caribbean this summer and try to find them, lost amid the swells of a breeze-tosse- d sea. Few know their names. Still fewer remember their history. Yet more than a dozen islands, islets, and banks in the Caribbean are possessions of the United States along with such major holdings as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is-lands. Most of the tiny, largely unin-habited wards with storybook names of Swan, Navassa, Serrana. Quita Sueno, Roncador Cay and Corn came under U. S. control through the 19th century search for a valuable, natural fertilizer called guano. An act of Congress in 1856 authorized the United States to lay claim to any guano-ric- h "island, rock, or key, not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other government." The law, however, did not elimi-nate a measure of international controversy over the smaller Caribbean dependencies.
