INSULATING FOR
YEAR ROUND

Home owners often overlook two
things about insulation. They may
insulate their houses to reduce their
winter fuel bills without realizing
that thew also get another benefit
greater comfort in summer.
For insulating materials prevent
the passage of heat through walls
roofs, ceilings, and other parts OF
the home. They prevent it from
passing out of warm rooms in win
ter and from entering cool rooms
IN the torrid days of summer. So
Insulation is, a hot-weather PROPOSE
tfon, TOO.
Secondly, many owners think that
a home can be insulated only when
IL is first built. They do not real
lie that simple remodeling job
will lay cooling blanket over
rooms that tend to get too warm
in summer
NThis applies especially to the
bungalow or small two-story house
with unfinished attic. The whole
attic becomes cas- hot as an oven, /"
and this heats the living. quarters
below.
One way to improve this condi
tion is to finish the attic, il it is
large enough, to provide extra
rooms. If this is done an insulat.
ing quilt or fiber substance can be
nailed to the rafters before lath
and plaster are put on. Or an in.
sulating rock lath may be used in
place of wood lath as base for
plaster, or an insulating mineral
valfboard can be used to provide
walls and ceilings for the attic
room.
These means of insuring comfort
in the rooms below are all right IL
the owner wishes to make new
rooms of the attic. But how can
the home be insulated when this
rather extensive Improvement is not
desired?
1t can be done by putting the in
sulating material directly on the
upper side of the lath and plaster
which form the lower-story ceiling.
In houses with unfinished .attics
the Iath and plaster are exposed
through the ceiling rafters. The
work of installing the insulation is
so simple that it can be done by
the householder himself in q short
time.
There are several types of in
sulators that may be used in this
way. One should be chosen which
Is so light that 1t viii not make
the lath and plaster sag, which is
dry so 1t win not stain the plaster,
which, is fire-resistive and has high
insulation value. Such a material
is graduated cork, but, while 1t Is
of excellent insulation, value. it is
the most costly of insuiators. An
other is a powdered gypsum filler
intended especially for thermal in
sulation. This is so cheap that a
whole house can be insulated with
il for $50.
Boards or quilts also may be used,
but they are best to lay over the
rafters when it is intended to put
ia an attic floor.

Here's another thing. Big league
pitchers for the most part don't

'em in the big league consists in
getting the hitter off balance when
he swings-making him pop the
ball UP or roll 1t on the ground

a pitcher gets in hole, he viii

But for the most part he wants
