Finding Things
LOOKING THROUGH YOUR POCKETS
It takes almost twice as long to find something in your coat pockets when you are not wearing your coat. If you have a flight jacket or parka with more than four pockets, you can usually save time by putting it on just to look through the pockets.

College
FINDING MONEY FOR COLLEGE
Add 5 percent of the value of your assets to your adjusted gross income and divide this figure by the annual costs of the college you are considering. If this yields a result of six or less, you will probably qualify for some sort of loan or financial assistance.

GETTING RID OF ODORS IN ROOMS
If you wish to get rid of an unpleasant odor such as cigarette and cigar smoke or mildew and musty odors in a room, put out an unconvered saucer of white vinegar in the room and let stand for at least two hours. The vinegar will absorb the smoke or mildew odors. In a bathroom, lighting 2 or 3 wooden matches and blowing them out will have the same affect.
