Useful With Shelves For the millions of American girls between 12 and 15, almost grown up, who demand young-lady rooms like their older teenage sisters, interior designers suggest combining feminine fluff with practical ruggedness.

Elevate the tub by setting the legs on 4 wooden blocks. Build two 6-inch-deep drawers in the space beneath the tub. These will provide more storage space, end under-tub dust-catching and make cleaning easy. Since the bathroom needs sunlight, make the entire outside wall of the bath opaque glass, either in block or sheet form. This affords piivacy, admits light.

Make the room gayer with buttercup yellow walls, and accent this color with leaf-green marbleized asphalt tile flooring and touches of the same colors in draperies. Save space in the bathroom by fitting one of the new types of clothes hampers between the wall studs. These hampers sire recessed into the wall like a medicine cabinet, will hold as much as the conventional hamper, yet project only 3 or 4 inches into the room. Minimize the bathrooms strictly utilitarian air, add interest with small pictures 1 and green growing plants. Use towels of bright shades that match the floor.

If there are small children, space towel racks one below the other in stair-step effect. Paint the clothes hamper to match floor and towels' end carry the same color into the edging of the cottage-type window curtains. There are two general types of modernization of interest to the plumbing industry. One is the replacement of outworn and obsolete fixtures, with new equipment.

They should know what their product is worth! a AHEN LEAVES ARE FALLING TO THE GROUND, BE SURE YOU PLUMBING'S GOOD AND i SOUND By David G. Bareuther AP Newsfeatures Writer To be a successful housekeeper, the modern housewife is to be somewhat more of an electrical wizard than Thomas Alva Edison was at the time he invented the electric light.

Modern households can be so packed with new electrical and other gadgets that a woman is expected to know about mechanical maintenance than any man needs to know about bis automobile. A man can usually Dull in at the nearest service station when something goes haywire under the hood of his car. But a housewife is alone and on her own with a veritable Frankenstein monster, which inventors have jokingly nicknamed the "labor saving house. -It may save physical labor, all right, but when it eo'mes to mental labor ask your wife. Matching her wits against the best brains among advertising men and salesmen, she is expected to be able to accommodate on a breakfast table more gleaming chromium and glass equinment than any ordinary table was intended for.

There could be, for instance, an electric coffee maker, an automatic toaster on a tray with conserves, an electric egg cooker, a bacon grill, an electric fruit juicer, a waffle iron with tray for batter, an electric biscuit warmer, a radio, a table lamp, and in season, an electric fan and, if there still is room for a husband and some children nerhaps an electric cigarette lighter and electric clock would be handy. From this miniature breakfast factory, which todays bride knows how to run and keep, in working order, she moves into a larger plant something her grandmother never would recognized as a kitchen. Table scraps are dumped right 'nto the sin kto be washed down the sink to he washed down All dishes go into an automatic dishwasher, where theyll be soaped, rinsed and dried till they glisten. The butter goes back into a special butter-conditioning compartment in the refrigerator, where a temperature control keeps it from getting too hard to spread. The food freezer is checked to see if there will be anything to order when the; butcher calls on the kitchen phone.

There are chops and steaks galore and that big roast that was bought at a sale two weeks ago. And sure enough, there is plenty of ice cream in case tle girls chop in for the afternoon. If they want chocolate malteds, theres the electric mixer with its drink-stirring attachment like a soda fountain's. The modern wife can do more things with an electric mixer than some men can do with a whole tool chest. Deftly changing attachments, she beats up cakes, sharpens knives, juices oranges, whips potatoes, polishes silverware, chops hamburger, makes candy and what not.

None of those old hairpin and chewing gum expedients are used in all this kitchen magic. Today's boys who grow up to be mechanics will' learn a lot from their mothers. The ladies know how to mesh the thread on a bolt, how much of a load the electYie circuit will carry, how to replace a blown-out fuse and where to turn off the current when they want to splice an electric cord. Making one trip back to the breakfast table, they whisk off the linen and drop it into an automatic laundry machine where it is washed, wrung and dried to the right degree for zipping through an electric iron-er. The reast for dinner is placed in an electric oven.

A clock is set to start the meat to cook at the right time and automatically turn It off when it is done. A kitchen television may demonstrate something like stuffed brusscis sprouts, which the housewife follows handily while she flicks a switch to start the kitchen exhaust blower to carry off the fumes. You'd think with all these wheels going around a girl would have to be a grease-monkey to make a success of her marriage. I PLAN 3-SOU. Lafayette, To achieve a well-planned living area in a small house it is important to use a definite plan carefully worked out on paper before building or remodeling, says Miss Ruth Hutcheson, extension home management specialist, Purdue University.

The living, or social area, of the house includes the space used for living, dining and recreation. This living area should be large enough to meet family needs. Lach tamily should consider the amount ot entertaining to be done, its own furnishings and amount of money to be spent. Perhaps, the living room should be at least twelve feet wide. An oblong room may be furnished to better advantage.

A nice proportion is two units wide by three uriits long. Such proportions make it easier to group the furniture for activity centers such as, reading, hobbies, conversation or music. Unless the living room is large it probably is advisable to omit the fireplace. Window spacing should be planned with good location of the furniture in mind. An adequate amount of light, both artificial and natural, is essential for pleasant living.

A front entry or vestibule gives protection to the living area irorn cold, wind and rain. It also provides good location for a closet to store outer wraps. When such an entry cannot be provided a closet may be located in the living room proper for such storage needs. Doorways should be placed so that passage through the room is across one end or across a corner when possible. Locating doorways near room corners provides usable wall space, routes traffic in short direct lanes and avoids confusion caused by people passing through the activity area.

When the dining space is only partly separated from the living room it is possible to use the total space for two activities at once. This separation can be accomplished by making the dining area an ell or alcove off the living room. It may be partly separated by a partition or storage wall for general storage needs. If the owner can afford a separate dining room it usually can be worked into the plan for the slightly larger house. This room may be used to better advantage by arranging it for sewing, study or business center as well as for dining This again means that provision of storage space is good Not at all.

Most modern motors and bearings are permanently lubricated. The sealed-in mechanism of a washing machine, for example, may be guaranteed for five years without service. (The writer has a mechanical refrigerator that has been running steadily for 13 years without service of any kind.) Most horpe cooling fans, however, cal for regular motor oil at the end of a vear and reoiling for each 1.000 hours of use thereafter. But over-oiling can be as bad as under-oiling, and the use of thin household oils can ruin a motor. Automatic crankcase oil is the best.

Simple as such maintenance may sound, though, there is Dlenty for the housewife to know. If all the instruction booklets that come with each item of eauioment in the average household were bound in one cover, theyd form a book as fat as a heavy novel. And the girls take these booklets seriously, too. After all, any piece of modern equipment costs a pretty penny and it's worth taking care of. The booklets about the kitchen gadgets make it all very interesting with recipes and you have to know how to adjust a set-screw in order to make these delicacies.

Even the vacuum cleaner books are packed with helpful hints, sucli as how to use the contraption to de-moth a closet, dry your hair, or transform the thing into a paint sprayer. Before you can get the bill paid the wife knows how to replace the brushes, change the pilot light, and use the attachments to clean picture moldings and glass curtains.
