It can warm your house, put you
In a cozy frame of mind and lift

A LONG narrow hall will se?m
shorter and wider by painting
one wall a light color, the op
posite wall a dark color.
A TOO-SQUARE room may up*

walls are painted tight tone
and two facing in a dark tone.
IF A SERIES of doors are a
problem, paint the wall opposite

Wrong colors can make you rest

are color conscious lyou will not

Red or orange are stimulating

On The
HOUSE
By DAVID Oi BABEUTHER
AP Real Estate Editor
"ONLY THE RICH can afford
an inefficient heating plant." A
fuel dealer made this observation
the other day when we were ar
ranging for a spring overhauling
of the little volcano our house sits
on.
It's a job we like to have done
as soon as weather permits the
heating plant to be shut down for
the season. In fact, there are two
important late spring chores for
most of us householders: (1) to
give the furnace and smoke pipe a
thorough cleaning to prevent sum
mer rust ar,d corrosion, and (2) to
lay in a supply of fuel.
The reason late spring is a good
Women are still on the do-it
yourself beam and painting the
home has become easier with the
roller. Encouragement is being giv
en all along the line with contests
and instruction and advertising
campaigns which stress the "Spruce
up . . . It's Spring" theme.

HERE ARE some tips suggested
by experts to make your painting
job pay off in many ways:
Change the shape of a room with
paint technique ... A long nar
row room may seem wider if one
long wall is painted white and
the other three a dark color ... a
square room may appear rectangu
lar by painting two opposite walls
light and the other two walls dark
. . . a long, narrow hall should
have one wall painted light, the
other dark . . . contrasting wall
colors may be used to treat irregu
lar walls . . . a bright pafnt on the
wall opposite a series c f doors will
draw attention away from the
doors.
A bedroom used for sleeping and
for study, particularly by children
should be painted in tranquil cool
blue, violet or green close to the
.bed, and warmer colors from yel
low orange to red may be used in
the olay or studv area. There
should be an affinity between col
ors If pink is used in the study and
plav section, deeoer violet will
harmoniz* for the sleeolng section.
Natural lioht may be created in
the kitchen by use of brighter col
ors such as orange, yellow or red.

DOs and DON'TS

USING ADHESIVES
DO ... use liquid animal or
fish glue when you want an easy
to-use, extra strong adhesive that
Is especially good in making furni
ture repairs.
DO ... use the easy-flowing res
in glue (usually white) when you
want an adhesive that sets quick
ly and does not stain.
DO . . . use powdered resin glue
for strength, water-resistance and
fine veneer work.
DO . . . use casein glue for rug
ged jobs, joints that don't fit per
fectly and woods that are hard to
glue, such as pitch pine, teak and
yew.
DO ... select one of the many
new, excellent adhesives on the
market for special-purpose projects
Involving the use of leather, fab
rics, rubber, plastics and many oth
er materials.

DON'T . . . use any of the above
mentioned glues for outdoor furni
ture, which must be assembled or
repaired with resorcinol or phenol
resorcinol glue for a completely
wateroroof result.
DONT . . . forget that some
clues will not work properly where
?he temperature in the room is un
der 70 degrees Fahrenheit; the
directions will tell you whether
that is so.
DONT . . . overlook the use of
improvised clamps when you do
not have exactly the right clamp
for the job; for instance, ordinary
oliers are excellent for holding
small work with a rubber band
around the handles.
DONT . . . glue the end grain
of wood carelessly, since it's high
ly absorbent and should have a sec
ond coat of glue after the first one
has become tacky.
DONT . . . throw away those

BUT RARE is the man who is
satisfied with a past winter's heat
ing cost. FUel bills are so hard to
pay that many dealers have started
year-round budgeting plans. You
pay them $15 or so per month the
year-round. If there is anything
left, yott get it back; if you owe
more, you make up the difference.

FURNACE CLEANING is an in
expensive service offered by most
fuel dealers. But you can do it
yourself, too, say the heating en
gineers of the Anthracite Informa
tion Bureau.
"Fly ash, which collects on the
heating surfaces," these experts
say, "should not ?be permitted to
remain during the summer when
moist air can combine with It and
start a corrosive action."

the heating plant, you can scrape

"After removing all fly ash," the
anthracitt men advise, "apply a
light coating of crank case oil to
the heating surfaces to prevent
rust. Cleanout doors should then
be tightly sealed with asbestos or
furnace cement and the smoke pipe
should be resealed where it enters
the chimney."
They contend that regular pre
summer cleanings and thorough
checkups of all dampers, grates and
other working parts can save as
much as 15 per cent of annual fuel
bills and extend the life of a heat
