If you must say "yes"' to this question, then you're - probably not making proper use of space for storage. Adding storage space to your home does not involve putting In an extra room, or making a bass-me-or attic, or any such major work. It's making good use of space you already have, and much of this can be done with simple carpentry. , "A place for everything" Is be-coming one of the most Important phases of building and homemak-- ,"'" ing. When you have a place for everything, this means that with everything in place, you have not only neatness and orderliness, but with little effort. When you have to shift things from crowded drawtrr and shel- - ves constantly or try to put stacks of things somewhere, out of the ' way, it may mean that you are accumulating too many things. However, it may also mean that you simply do not have adequate ' storage facilities for your posses sions. Check yourself on some of the common household problems: where doea luggage go? What hap-pens to extra bedding? Where do you put your keys? Are extra dishes in the way? Can you find pots and pans and other cooking utensils easily? If your home does not now pro-vide easy answers to the above as well as any others of which you can think, start solving the prob-lem with proper storage. Many of the above difficulties can be answered with very simple filing jlJ . don't, leave wall space that can be pressed Into storage cases. If you have such a space In the bed-room, and the bed or beds are set against this particular wall, place the cases right In back of the bed. Storage cases can be low, out as long as they come to the floor and run all the way across the wall, there will be much space provided. Use these for blankets, pillows, linens or seasonal items. In chil-dren's rooms, these types of cases are excellent for putting away toys. Tops of the cases can be used for radios,' books and clocks. If desired, potted plants or Interest-ing collections of various hobbles can be displayed on them. No place for shoes in the bed-room, or not enough room? If you have wall space above a heating vent, convert this into a small shoe closet. This can be done by slanting boards on which the shoes are placed, with horizontal molding strips attached to the boards to act as heel catchers holding the shoes to the tilted shelves. , Do you have a kitchen and breakfast nook built together? It's not only smart looking but also space providing to construct a nar-row counter between the two units. The counter itself may be used to hold serving Items as well as food. Underneath the counter top, shelves or niches can be constructed to bold table accessories, appli-ances, telephone, etc. Wall space opposite the counter between breakfast nook and kitch-en might also be used for cabinet or shelf space. r Create Orderliness Use your empty walls . , , and little work; other problems can be resolved with only slightly more work. Use Built-In- s For Storage Look around your home and see how much empty, unused wall space you have. Then look around at all tho things you would like to put away. Put the two together and you come up with built-ins- . Cupboards as well as all sorts of devices can be installed into most of your rooms at little ex-pense and at great saving to not only your possessions but to your disposition as well. Add to this In the Kitchen Cupboards are natural furnishings to the kitchen, but there are still a great many kitchens with bare wall space that could be put to excellent use. Cupboards can and should sur-round all the main working centers to house all needed tools. Not only is cupboard space es-sential, but when organized like a file, it will increase in usefulness.' Cupboards surrounding the range or cooking area can be shaped to hold pots and pans of all sizes, so that you can pick the one you want without extracting it from a nest of pans. Shaped partitions, often made of plywood, can be used for storing lids as well as shallow pans, trays and large platters. To be most ef-ficient, make the partitions remov- - , the great saving in actual house keeping and you have some idea what a small Investment can do But Just bow does one go about deciding where and what the built-in-s should be? This must be plan-ned for the uses and needs each home has, but some illustrations may oiler help. For example, If linen storage Is your ' main problem, j check the walls of your bedroom and see if they're being fully used. Or, what about a hall that Joins two bed-rooms or is at the entrance of a bedroom? Many of these walls can take several rows of shallow chests without crowding the room. If the room is larger, deeper chests can be used. These may be waist high or even higher depending upon able so they can be taken out for easy cleaning, as well as for chang-ing the sizes of the particular "files" to take care of other pieces. Drawers near the kitchen sink can also be made sectional so that utensils like forks and knives, mix-ing spoons, spatulas and pancake turners are not jumbled together in the drawer. Slotted holders placed in the drawers are excellent for knives, particularly, because they protect the - cutting edge of the knife.'- - - ; . Sliding 'trays placed in many deep kitchen drawers automatically eliminates ' confusion and at the same time makes ork quicker be-cause you can pick out whichever piece you want quickly, The trays In deep drawers can also be partitioned to hold small equipment in its own place and thus cut down on jumbled drawers. Select Furniture For Storage Value While you try to stretch wall space to cover storage needs, don't forget that furniture can help you In the same way. Much of the new furniture being mae'e available is not only decorative, but it also has a great many storage fea'ures. In selecting an occasional table, do not just expect the top to be of use. See that its base is a cabinet or a shelf or two which can be used for sewing boxes, magazines or ' books. for cupboard storage eases. how much space you need, as well as what will look right in the room in relation to its proportions and furnishings. If you have to save space, there are many ways In which to do it. For example, do not have knobs on the chests for the drawers. These take several inches. Cutouts at the drawer fronts eliminate knobs and make them smaller and neat-- ' ; er. - Thus, ' they can really be blended into the wall as though they were actually buUt In when the house was corstructed.

ISHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY SAVE YOURSELF fiAVE yourself-- lady that's the 3 best New Years resolution you can make, and the best economy you can practice. Now that the hustle and bustle of the holidays is gone, If not forgotten, settle down and figure out how you can save your-self time, energy and work. Budget your time as you budget your money so much for tho ' ' 'T ''f, 1 home, so much for "."? your family fun, so yfJIAtti much for your out-sid- e work in church, STHtVI or club or Red ' FEATURE Cross, or even on I '"r paid Job. For may-be you're the one out of every four married women holding down an outside Job, in addi-tion to your first and most impor-tant one of homemaking. Never be-fore was so Important. Just the energy you expend on your ordinary household tasks amounts to plenty In terms of cost to yourself. A New York state au-thority recently made a test on the basis of the oxygen consumed by women during the following seem-ingly simple operations: preparing and cooking of food, storing utensils and supplies, not to mention carry-ing them from your market; making beds and doing the family laundry. She found that movements using only the arms used less energy than stooping plus arm-actio- But she found that even a reach of as little as 10 inches from one level to another, called for more energy, and that the most was consumed In reaching with the arms to the floor or near it. For, as she pointed out, It's not only the arms and that little piece of linen you're lifting, but a large portion of your body, too. So, anything that can save that energy for other Jobs on your work budget new gadgets, or the best care and most use out of the gadgets you have, is of untold worth to every busy, budget-minde- d homemaker. Easier ways of doing a Job and labor saving devices have become the American tradition.

Your electrical dealer will be happy to get you one of these efficient time- - savers, if he hasn't it in immediate ' stock. And you'll love ltl One mechanism and one set of1 controls operate both the clothes' and the dish washer, with a mere change of inner tubs to convert from one to another. And when you have that clothes washer so handy, it's a chinch to use it often, instead of loading up for that dreaded once-a-wee- k washday that seems never to be done. Wash, rinse, and spin-dr- y, when you've done your dinner dish-- , es, without moving away from your own sink. That's an energy-save- r mnA 4 HInAlttAn.ea vr tnn There's a new dryer, too, that your dealer no doubt has right In stock, that comes in handy these days when you can't use the back yard for your wash-lin- e. It dries every-thing from silks and rayons to your heavier fabrics, to Just the degree you desire for ironing, for it has time and temperature controls. It's a wonderful deal for your basement laundry, too, because it has a venti-lating system, and an ozone lamp, which gives those clothes the fra-grance of mid-summ- sun-drie- No more of that moisture seeping from the basement, when you dry your wash this way.
