How To Overcome Some Architectural Problems If your recreation room is going to be in the basement, you will probably run into the problem of hiding the furnace unless this has been built in the laundry unit, or separated by walls or partitions when the unit was constructed. Draw a plan of the basement, then block off the furnace. Include blocking off the coal bin, too, or your oil tanks, whichever may be the case. These may be partitioned off with wall board, but youll naturally have to leave a door to get into the unit. Walls are usually In need of some kind of finishing, if the room is to be in the basement.

The only connection I ever had with it is that on some occasion or other, England expected every man to do his duty. To my husband's mother it means everything disagreeable. ''I was an only child, motherless from babyhood," the letter goes on, and spoiled, I supposed, by a rich father. Most of Papas money is gone, now, however, and Phil and I and our baby live very quietly. My husbands mother lives next door, and as I say, she is always at me about duty. My duty to Phil, to her, to Johnnie, to my neighbors, church, everything. What is duty, anyway? I never had a mother's guidance, and I really want to know who makes these laws about duty and what they mean. Phil is 33, I am now 18, and the baby is seven months, finishes this artless letter.

Floor rroblem Floors in a recreation room have to serve a practical purpose, and the floor covering may be one of three: concrete or cement, wood over concrete and linoleum or asphalt tile. If the floor is poor, but dry, and if you do not want to bring up the cost of doing this room, the cement or concrete may be painted with paints designed for just such a purpose. Paint the floor In a color that will harmonize with the furnishings of the room. For the room designed as an extra living room, or one that will be used for dancing, the best choice is wood over cement or concrete. Stained and waxed floors are best for dancing; other colors may be used for a more general purpose room. Asphalt tile and linoleum are considered flooring rather than floor coverings, and both offer good possibilities for the type of room under consideration. lem. U.S. Motorists Learn to Drive Monti!

Duty means, of course, the thing you ought to do, for the general good. For the good of the family, the commonwealth, the nation. Duty consists of a thousand small acts, perhaps not important apart, but extremely important When taken together. Thousands of years of painfully achieved civilization are back of that word. A husbands duty, a wifes duty, an employee's duty, an employers duty. Law and order only mean that men and Women are expected to do their duty, and will be held responsible if they dont.
