If you are doing painting be sure and project with someone of exper ience. And here are general hints for amateurs. 1. Don't forget to read the lab el on the paint can or to fol low instructions to the word. 2. Don't work outside in wet weather — immediately after a storm, or too early in ‘the spring before wood has dried out. Don’t paint in very cold wea ther, as low temperature thickens paint and causes cracking. Don’t try to cover the face all at once heavy coat; several are better. Don’t paint over __ s___ ■coats until thoroughly dry. Don’t neglect proper prepara tion of surfaces. 7. Don’t use anything but good brushes and reliable thinners. Don’t waste time and money by using poor paint for econ omy. If you belong to the group which dislikes cleaning orgies, you will .find that the weekly care of specific rooms will not upset youi* routine too drastical ly, and you can take the strictly seasonal jobs, like painting, as they come. If you belong to the other group, there are two ways to attack the bi.g job you have set yourself. Take one room at a time and clean it and every thing in it. Or, do similar jobs at the same time, cleaning walls and ceilings in two or three rooms in one session. TAKE A TIP . The efficiency of your vacu um cleaner depends upon the condition of the dirt contain er. Empty it every 2 or 3 hays. In many models the end of the bag opposite the one attached to the machine can be opened. A dampened paper bag can be fitted over it and when the machine is turned on, the dust swirls into the paper bag. Do not push vacuum cleaner over pins and which may pierce the ■container. Turn vacuum cleaner when anything has to be ed out of the cleaning area. Be a leisurely operator of a vacuum cleaner — a quick flight over does not allow the cleaner to pick up the dirt. Adjust the cleaner on rugs according to the regulations of the machine. In the tank ■cleaner, the pressure you ex ert makes the adjustment .be tween high and low pile rugs, 017 the motor-driven machine the brush should only touch the surface of the rug—run a thin ruler under the ma chine to check on the near ness of the brush to carpet. THE SUGGESTION BOX Mrs. J. K. says: Unravel old sweaters and use the wool to stuff porch cushions. Mrs. M, T. says: To remove crayon marks from wallpaper, dampen a soft cloth with car bon tetrachloride and sponge lightly. Do not rub. Repeat and after it is dry use an art-gum eraser. Answer to Mrs. R, G.: In re ply to your problem of remov ing grease from wallpaper we have to say that it is impos sible. Mrs. N. R. says: Ta clean ply wood veneer walls use a cloth wrung out of soapsuds—never use a wet cloth—then use an other damp cloth and dry each each small area thoroughly. Mrs, T. C. says windows synthetic soap and get shining results, easily. To remove putty smears use a cloth dipped in household ammonia. A. A. says: (1) Clean light ing fixtures thoroughly. (2) Do not use electricity unnecessarily.
