The Size Of PyomIsa
There are certain popular errors
concerning the race Of under.sized men
and women known as pygmies. Usual
ly travellers have measured the most
diminutive specimens and thus an ex-
agyerated idea Of their sInallness has
been produced. The average stature
OF the pygmies that have been meas
ured Is about four feet eight inches
but the best authorities in anthropol-
ogy say that the real average limit of
stature Is i've feet. Some are taller
than that.
The pygmies have been found In
eight or ten different places In cen.
trail Africa, but wherever found they
possess certain striking resemblances.

their huts Is the same In the. widely
separated regions visited by Stanley
and others, and the shape Of the huts,

|LUMBERMEN AID 5,
IN FIRE SERVICE
Maintain Own Forest Units in
Cooperation With Fed
eraI Department.

The United States forest service and
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association will be represented at the
National Fire Prevention Exposition in
New York the week of October 8-being
National Fire Prevention weekly
joint exhibit. The exhibit will be de-
voted to showing how the forest service
and the Western Forestry and Conser-
walton Association and other forest pro-
tective bodies and Individual timber
owners associated with the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
guard against and fight forest fires.
This cooperative exhibit reflects the
close practical cooperation between the
lumbermen and the forest service
wherever national and private forests
intcrmingle or are contiguous. The
forest service frequently directs the
fighting work on private lands, at
the expense, of course, Of the owners.
The public and private lands are often
so situated with reference to each
other that only a common organization
and united effort would be effective.
Owing to the fact that. while munich
palities have ample and efficient or
eanizations for fighting and preventing
fires in cities, there is for the most part
little or no effort by public bodies to
deal with forest fires on private lands,
the lumbermen and timber owners are
compelled to provide their own organi-
cations in many regions: The Western
Forestry and Conservation Association
of the Pacific northwest spends about as
much in some years-s2, 900, ,000-in pro-
lection against forest fires as the state
and federal governments together
throughout the United States.
The forest service has excellent fire.
fighting organizations for the protec-
tion of the national forests, the present
commercial value of which is more than
$1,000 600 900, and some of the states
that have considerable public-owned
forest areas, such as Massachusetts.
Minnesota, Pennsylvania. New York and
others. have very efficient forest fire
fighting services.
The Joint exhibit Of the lumbermen
and the forest service at the New York
show serves to point out what weak
spot there is in the general fire fighting
system of the nation. and it also serves
to remind the public of the intimate
connection between fire prevention and
fighting and the maintenance of suffi-
cient and comfortable supply of forest
products. II forest fires could be pre-
vented or suppressed, at early stages
IL can be said that without any other
care the forest lands of the United
States would annually take care Of the
minimum requirements of the country
for forest products. There are 470. 900. 900
acres of land in the United States that
under present conditions will grow moth
ing of value unless it be trees. And of
trees, if fires can be kept out, these
40, 900. 900 acres, otherwise useless. will
in the course Of nature grow about
fifty billion feet of timber annually,
which is about. the amount consumed
annually of all forest prodTrts.

T,Uo-Fan,ily House Now Solresa
Problem of Many Homeseekers
Great Saving affected in Cost of Nate
rials and Sites Enables Many ;.
to Achieve Aims.

There has been an increasing de-
mand in recent years for two-family
houses. Perhaps the strongest argu-
ment in favor of the type of con-
struction, says the National Builder,
is the saving in cost. At least cost
is the stonewall most often keeping
prospective clients out of the longed-
For realm of home ownership. The
statistics of the Department of Labor
show the average one-family house
costs s3,967, and the average
two-family house $1,000; in other
words a straight Ssaving of 1924
is effected by building the two homes
together. This does not take into
account the price of the lot, which
is really greater factor than the
cost of materials.
Land values have increased to the
point. where it is often out of the
question for the small home builder
to afford enough ground to build a
home that will comfortably house his
family. if he wishes to be reasonably
"close in" and in a desirable resi-
dence section. For many such, the
arrangement by which another fam
lily shares the same ground space by
increasing the capacity of the house.
represents the only opportunity to
have homes of their own.
From the investment standpoint the
two-family arrangement has unques-
toned advantages.
Because we seem to be in a transi-
tory state in this matter of one-fam-
fly or two-family houses, gradually
working toward the apartment build
ing. but not quite ready to give up
the old home idea. the demand at
present for two-family buildings is
for those which have the outward ap-
pearance of large single house ra
ther than a fiat. The sort of a plan
which gives US a large size residence
in outward looks and yet houses two
different families seems to meet the
requirements admirably.
Double or two-family houses are
divided into two types by architects
duplex and semi-detached. In the
duplex house the apartments are
placed one above the other; in the

hibited in many cities on account Of
the fact that the small pipe can
easily become frosted over in winter

SINKS IN KITCHENS
7OOLOW, IS CLAIM
Expert Also Suggests Select
ing Fixtures That May Be
Easily CIeansed.

Kitchen sinks are nearly always
placed too low, and in consequence
hundreds of women stoop over many
hours each year doing dishes and
canning fruit as they work over these
sinks that have been awkwardly
placed. The top of the sink should not
be less than thirty-six inches, and
may be higher to good advantage in
many cases.
In the choice of fixtures it is we'll
to look to the choice of those that
can be cleaned easily and kept clean.
Cheap cast iron sinks are often made
with sharp angles and deep depres-
sions for holding soap. These irreg-
ularities hold filth as well and are hard
to clean. Sweeping, shallow curves do
not hold filth and are easy to clean.
In the furnace-heated house. the
fixtures. such as sinks. should be
placed near the outside walls. In
this way they will give little trouble
If the water Is, shut off on the coolest
nights, or if the fire is. out for sew
eral. days at time.
Rule for Water Pipes.
In houses where stoves are used
some trouble will be experienced in
cold weather with frozen pipes. and
replacements are expensive. 1t is a
good rule to keep the pipes on the
interior wall if possible.
Good practice calls for all pipes
in plain view as far as possible, and
this has the advantage of leaks be-
ing easily detected as well as sun
light chasing away foul odors. All
pipes containing water sweat in sum-
mer and cause certain amount of
dampness. which should have a
chance to dry up.
Proper venting in the plumbing
system is frequently neglected. If
the soil pipe runs up through the
house like a chimney. with all fix
lures emptyipg into il either direct
ly or indirectly. any sewer gas which
may come back from the septic tank
will find a ready means OF escape
through the stack" as the pipe
through the roof is called.
