Sun.Heated Water,

Seventy-tive per cent of the homes
IN southern California, 1t is said. have
solar heaters. which furnish the hot
water for domestic purposes. The ar
rnngement is simple, and consists of
water pipes placed on the roof Of a
house under Il glass top and under
meath them some sheets of copper
painted black. Under the rays Of the
sun the water expands. crenting II cir
culntion thereof in the pipes until the
water reaches the boiling point, and
it will remain hot for more than AS
hours after the sun stops shining.
1t is not often that there Is any full

is hot water sufficient for all pur-

the year. The cost of Il solar heater

Editor Patterson has been quite
sick. but is commissioning. Instead If

Mrs. Braddock was up from Dakem
yesterday on business, chief of which
! was he procurement of household
supply of sugar, but, she was disap-
pointed. There is sugar famine
throughout the United Safes, caused
by the sugar trust failing to properly
gauge the demand, and reducing the
output to low. 1t is said there is a
shortage of nails in some sections,
caused by the closing of many nail
mills.

nothing more terrible than Cravens

He stood near the center Of the room,

flushed set lowering.
"Well?" he demanded sharply. "What

"You-you startled me-" she fall

STOCKS CLOSE HEAVY
in new YORK MARKET
Operators Show Bullish Tendencies and
Net Losses Result.
CBy the Interp.tioua, News Service,

tBy the international News seryiee.)
New York, Jan. 29.-Stocks closed heavy
today after a session in which there was
free professional selling for the short
account All the traders around the
Street were bullish and only few opera
tors took an aggressive position on the
short side. The bulls, however, were
timid and the result was net losses of
importance in nearly every issue.
Cotton and grain were both lower. New
Haven attracted particular attention
when it broke to within fraction of the
lowest price on record.
General Motors was a weak issue and
the Street argued that II 1t could do no
better in the market the other motors
ought to go tumbling. Copper stocks
held relatively firm, largely because ne
gotiations are in progress for the metal
to be produced in the latter half of this
year.
About the only hopeful news in the
Street was the report that Pennsylvania
is short of equipment and will buy heavily
in the near future. Brooding over the
market and depressing everybody was the
fear of complications growing out OF a
renewal of the U-boat warfare.
