COLD NO HINDER
TO BUILDING
IN j. s.
Survey Shows CurtaiIment
During Cold Period Is
Not Necessary

The winter of 1923.1924, It is be-
Heved, marked turning point in
the building construction industry
in the United States in so far as
building under inclement weather
conditions was concerned. During
last winter q greater activity in
building than ever before was noted
In what has been known as the
dull season.
This is pointed out by the United
States Department of Commerce
following a nationwide survey Of
the building situation under Secre-
tary Hoover. It was discovered
that curtailment Of construction dur
ing thA winter months was due
more to custom than necessity, and
that building in some form or other
can proceed in winter weather as
at other seasons. It was even
found that the laying Of bricks
and concrete can go ahead in freez.
Ing weather with adequate shelters.
and with materials warmed prop
erly.
The survey was an outgrowth of

and Housing of the Department of

HOME OWNING INSTINCT
IS STRONGER THAN EVER

The owning instinct was
never so keen as it is today and the
opportunity for development was
never greater for those catering to
these wants, William E. Harmon, of
New York, declared before the an
nual convention of the National
Association Of Real Estate. Boards,
held here recently. He said:
"If we realize that there prob
ably are one hundred persons in
the world with $40 in ready money
to half a dozen with 500, the sale
of real estate on installments can
be greatly enlarged by making the
first installment as low as posi-

PLASTER SHOULD BE DRY
BEFORE DOORS ARE HUNG

Neither the permanent outside
doors nor the interior doors in a
new house should be fitted and
hung until the plaster Of the house
has thoroughly dried out. When
the outside doors are first fitted
and hung, the freshly cut surfaces
at TOP and bottom should be Given

case may be.

vices Add to Convenience

The hopeful home owner has his
notions OF the accessories which
the house OF his dreams shall con-
tain. One Of these devices is a
dust chute. This is merely an
opening in the floor, usually placed
In the kitchen, into which the dirt
may be swept and carried down

The piece cut from the floor, with
. handle attached, forms the cover.
The opening may be cut in the

treads, on the back stairs 80 that
the tread lifts like the lid Of a
box. The box so formed is re-
ceptacle for shoe polish, brushes,
and overshoes.
Place for Bread Board.
A slot cut in the back OF the
ehen. or drainboard near the
Kitchen sink, into which the board,
may be dropped, solves a problem
OF Where to put it when not in
use: A strip wider than the slot
must be nailed to- either end Of the

prevents the board from dropping
out OF reach and the one at the
lower serves as a means of holding

In the simple home that boasts
not of dressing rooms, a closet in
the bathroom will be found useful.
A letter box built. in. near the

mail man drops mail through

the family without opening the
door. These boxes may be purchased

If one is SO fortunate as to
possess a hillside lot the garage
may be attached to the house in
such a manner that it forms a
part or adjoins the basement. A

the basement and the car be
reached without going outside. A

kIWANIANS PRESENT
PAST PRESIDENTS
JEWEL TO DUNNACK

A most interesting discourse on a
subject which Is little understood eX-
cept by medical men or specialists,
was delivered at the luncheon meet
T. OF the Augusta Kiwanis Club It
the Augusta House Thursday even
ing, by DR.. Forrest c. Tyson, super
intcndent of the Augusta State Hos
pital for the Insane. DR.. Tyson's
tai; was illustrated by the detailed
history of an individual case which
had come under his observation, and
was highly instructive and interest
ing.
The meeting Of last evening was
presided over by the newly elected
president of the club, Charles f.
Quincy. and one OF the interesting
features Of the luncheon hour was
the presentation of past presi-
dents jewel to the retiring presi-
dent. Henry f. Dunnack. The pres
cntation was made by Mr. Quincy,
who in n hapnv vein graciously eX-
pressed the appreciation Of the men,
bors for Mr.. Dunnack's tireless eff
forts for the good of the club, and
their esteem for their past prcsi-
dent. Mr.. DunnaclS responded feel
ingly. thanking the members for the
token of their regard.
The report of tho ScCretary-tre treas
rrer. Ralph Weber was read and
showed the club to be in a splendid
position financially. Levi r. Will
liams was elected to the Board of
Directors to fiji the vacancy occas-
toned by the resignation of Col. John
A. Hadley. who has recently been
transferred to the National Home at
Dsnville, Ill. ~
D.. Tyson's discourse was an IL
Illustration of the psychological
mcchanisms of the mind of an insane
person by n synopsis of case which
he has observed and treated over
considerable period of time. The
speaker explained that all patients
on entering the State hospital are
subjected to n physical examination,
an exhaustive mental examination,
and a history of their past life OBJ
tanned in order that n comprehensive
record of the case may be available.
In explaining the individual case
taken for illustration DIR. Tyson
enumerated the different manifesto
tons Of psychosis, and the mental
mechanisms such as fulftllment OF
wishes. compensation. atonement.
and negatiS SIN in detail.
Following the regular session OF
the club. the Board OF Directors held
a brief meeting and announced that
the next regular meeting would be
observed az Ladies' Night with sew
eral special entertainment features.
