Wall Holes—What about large holes a foot or so in your plaster ed walls that keep your home from being featured in “House Beauti ful”? This is going to take two coats of plaster, but first clean all the old plaster out of the hole. Check to see that the lathes are securely held and then, with a knife or razor blade, cut around the plaster surrounding the hole edgewise so that there will be a ledge of old plaster for the new beneath to stick to. Wet down the edge of the old plaster and the lath, then mix up your first coat of plaster. Go easy on the water with this mixture. With a trowel or similar flat instrument work the plaster over the laths but do: not bring its surface up even with the old plaster. Leave room for the second coat. Give the first coat a chance to set a little and' then mix up the second, using slightly more water. ' Plaster the second coat right on over the first and bring its surface right up,' flushed with the old plaster. Get hold of a piece of wood with, a sharp edge and long enough lo span the entire leiigth' df the hole. Work the Wood back and forth- with the sharp edge on the plaster until the surface is smooth and all the lumps in the plaster are gone. ABSENTEEISM (continued from page one) Sixty per cent of all absences were due to sickness, either to the employee or to members of his family. These absences are for the most part excusable, - The most inexcusable item in the report shows that twenty-six per cent of all absences were re ported without any reason given. Undoubtedly some of these were excusable but for the record they were A.W.O.L. The absentee record at Caro mount and Wilson is not bad but in order to keep it at its present level and to improve it, a special effort must be made by everyone in being on the job every day pos sible.
