BUILDING COPPER
VALUED AT MORE
THAN 1T COSTS

PHOENIX, April 23.-How adding
fraction over one per cent to the in
vestment Of residence will add sew
eral per cent to its resale value, save
several times the extra cost in cash
upkeep, and contribute to beauty and
convenience for a life time, is graph
ically illustrated in recent Arizona
building job.
Charles f. Willis, editor and pub
Usher of the Arizona Mining journal,
and one of the well-known mining
men OF the state, recently completed
a new residence in Phoenix which has
attracted a good deal of attention for
its excellent design and workmanship.
Having personal interest in the
states largest industry, being a
staunch supporter of the use Arizona
Products principal, and having the
added incentive of desiring an attrac-
tive and lasting home, he saw to it
that copper products were used in the
construction and when it was finished
asked the builders to check up in de-
tail the additional cost of using cop
per, brass and bronze instead of less
permanent substitutes.
The result effectively dispels the
tilne-worn bugaboo that initial cost
is too high" A. B. Laig, member of
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-04-24

the engineering and contracting firm
which built the house, reported that
the added cost of using copper instead
of other material for all exposed metal
work, including valleys, flashing, sky
light, outlet boxes, cutters down
spouts and all screen wire amounted
to only one and one-third per cent of
the cost of. the entire job, not nclud-
ing the cost of hardware for which
bronze would be used as a matter of
course in home of that type. Against
this extra one and one-third per cent,
Mr.. Lag listed these net assets in his
report, which the Industrial congress
is using in its work to extend the use
of copper as one of the states chief
products:
I'VE built your home to stand for
several generations, and the copper
work on it will probably outlast the
building. Had galvanized iron been
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-04-24

used in the places indicated. it would
probably have to be renewed several
times during the life of the building
at a total cost of three or four hun
dred dollars, so that you will see that
the use Of copper results in a consid
erable cash saving in the matter Of
up-keep, aside altogether from the
beauty of the material and the added
resale value of the house"
Not only does copper pay for itself
many times over in cash savings in
maintenance, but it is a real asset in
building houses for resale, Mr. Laig's
report indicated. Referring to the op-
erations of his own firm, which is a
large home building organization, Mr..
Laig added:
lit may interest you to know that
we are using copper screen wire, etc,
on some of our four-room bungalows

Stations Have Permits
To Continue Operation

WASHINGTON, April 20 P,-Ar-
lroximately sac of the 1872 radio sta
tions in the u. S. had received TENN
rorary permits to continue operations
tonight on the eve of the date, set
by law after which broadcasting
without authority becomes unlawful
Applications from number of the
stations which failed to receive per-
mits Were Still under consideration
hy federal radio commission and as
consequences, the exact number un-
able to obtain permits will not be
determined until next week.
Owing to the mass of material
! cfore il; the commission said in a
statement It has not been possible
to take formal action upon all the
applications which have been made.
The commission does not, therefore
contemplate legal action against any
broadcasting station Which has not
been duly norified of adverse ac-
ton by the commission on its ap
rlicatiCn. The statement was taken
to mean that no broadcasting sta
tion need close down after tomor-
row because of . lack OF permit
unless it's operators have received
notice from the government that a
permit had been refused them.
Failure to include a station in the
list of permits issued is not neces-
sarily a proof that it is unlicensed.
Until the situation has been com
l,letcly worked out, commissioners
added there VIII be no complaints

FIappers Must Dip
Snuff to Keep In
Step With Style

LONDON, April 20 P.-The
old fashioned habit of snuff
. taking has been revived by the
. society girls and women of
London.
: The habit is cultivated, deal
ers say, not so much for the
effect produced by the snuff,
. but for the very simple reason
: of an excuse for introducing
. snuff boxes as part of the
. scheme of personal adornment.
: AS a consequence of this new
. feminine habit, borrowed from
their grandfathers, there is un-
. precedented demand at the
. shops for jeweled boxes of vari-
Gus designs. Among i. the
. Weather classes the gold and
. silver snuff boxes are the
. vogue, some of which are set
: with diamonds. Antique deal
. ers say they could sell 10 times
. the number of snuff boxes, of
. any design, if they had them
Instead of the pungent pow
der of their forefathers, the
. girls of today are using light
. powder said to be refreshing
: lyt fragrant, especially after a
. long dancing evening in stuff
fly room.
. AS in the United States,
. where 3S,OOO,OOO pounds of
. snuff We're used last year, the
. snuff taking habit has also
. made great gains here among
. indoor employees not permitted
to smoke during working hours.

NEGRO GAVE AID TO DYING GIRL
Dover Truck Driver Didn't Run Away
After Hitting Child near Colchester

Through a misunderstanding of con-
ditions it was reported last wek, Al
bert Collins, colored, of Dover, the
driver of a truck that struck and ia
tally injured Miss Mildred Sorden,
21 years old, Of Baltimore, on the
State highway near Colchester, had
failed to stop after the accident. 1t
seems that he did stop and help put
the girl in passing automobile, but
he is held at Chestertown, Md, in the
Kent county Jail, pending the action
Of the coroner. The girl died at the
Emergency Hospital at Easton. Col
Inns assisted in placing the injured
girl in an automobile which took her
first to the office of DR.. Henry G..
Sinners, of Chestertown, who ordered
her removal to the hospital at Easton,
Md, where she died, according to in
formation given Wednesday by Gilbert
Biters, of Dover, one of the owners of
| the truck Collins was driving. Mr..
Biters said Wednesday that he was on
| the truck at the time and after COM
| ing to a stop he and Collins assisted
in placing the girl in an automobile.
Mr.. Biters accompanied the girl to
the physicians office and also to the
hospital while Collins followed in the
truck to Chestertown where the arrest
was made. There was no attempt to
run away. Miss Sorden was visiting
at the farmhouse of George Hendrick-
son and had started across the road
to the farm mail box when she was
struck by the truck.

TO INSPECT THE WATER SUPPLY
| OF ALL SCHOOLS IN DELAWARE
CHILDREN DRANK CONTAMINAT-
ED WATER AT SERVICE STATION
Sanitary Condition Will be Looked
Into by the State Board of Health
at the Beginning of School Year

Sanitary conditions as well as the
drinking water supplies in the schools
of the State will be inspected by the
Board of Health. DR.. Arthur T.Davis
executive secretary of the State Board
of Health, says there has been no
urgent need for this move, but the
board considers it advisable to make
an inspection of water supplies and
sanitary conditions.
Such step was deemed proper
when it was discovered that drinking
water at a wayside service station was
found to be unfit for use. The pro-
prietor of the station said it was
strange since the children from a
nearby school had been drinking it
for years and as he said, "none Of
them had been killed by it.
There are one or two other instanc-
es where water, near schools and
which might, at any time be drunk by
the children in going to and from
school, has been found to be unfit. AT
any rate it is within the authority OF
the State Board of Health, and the
board believes it to be a public duty
to see that the sanitary equipment OF
the schools and the drinking water is
all right.
A full inspection of the sanitary ar
rangements and drinking water about
any service station or roadside hot
dog stand that serves the public, will
be made by R. c. Beckett the sanitary
engineer who is also going to inspect
the schools. The State Board Of
Health has decided upon a more rigid
way of informing the public against
unfit water. Instead of passing by g
water supply that is unfit and ignor-
ing it, the board will put up a sign
that will read: "Don't Drink This
Water"
The roadside stands and service sta
tions, where the water is found al
right, will have the triangular sign

PLAN MARKERS FOR AIR ROUTES
Commerce Department Officials Want
Designations on Roofs, Also Lights

Designations on Roofs, Also Lights
Not long hence the aviator who is
flying over strange territory will be
able to "find" himself by glancing
down at the roofs of the cities over
which he is passing. He will look for
aerial sign posts. These will consist
of huge letters on the roofs OF the
city's large buildings spelling out its
name. Installation of these sign posts
is expected to begin soon in some of
the large cities. Specifications and
instructions have been prepared by
the Aeronautics Branch of the Com
merce Department, and these have
been sent out to Chambers of Com
merce in cities throughout the coun-
try.
"With air travel developing more
rapidly than the installation OF aids
to aerial navigation, the marking OF
cities is without doubt the most i'm
mediately important to aid to avia-
ton" a statement issued by the De-
partment said.
Roofs on which the sign posts are
placed should be preferably of tile,
shingle, tin or other metal. or of slate.
A simple block letter in chrome yel-
low with a dull black background
should be used. If the roof has a
slope of over 80 degrees, the sign
should be painted on both sides.
The name Of the city should be
spelled out, with an arrow pointing in
the direction of the city airport.
The width Of letters such as IN
or "W'' should equal two-thirds thei1
height, with other letters in proper
ton. A spacing of one-fourth the
height should be used between letters
The letters should be not less than si1
feet in height, preferably as large as
possible. Letters less than six fee
high can not be seen at a great hight
Where gravel or pitch roofs offer th'
best location, wooden letters may b
elevated above the roof or the sigl
may be painted on a dull black back
ground formed of wood raised on leg
above the roof proper. Where raise'
letters alone are used, the gravel roo
beneath should be so treated as t
) give darker ground than the gray o
the gravel.
It is of primary Importance tha
the names be lighted at night. Or

NEW JERSEY GIRL FAILS SWIM
Was Within One And a Half Miles of
Shore When She Stopped in Effort
to Cross Mouth of Delaware Bay

Miss Maxine Meitzner Of Ocean
City, N. j., who attempted to swim
from Cape May, N. j., to Lewes was
compelled to give up the attempt at
Z o'clock Tuesday night. She had
been in the water for IL hours and
had covered about 20 miles when she
was compelled to give up the attempt
IL miles from shore. The swimmer
was not tired and declared that she
did not suffer with cold, but the flood
tide and choppy sea made it impossi-
BILE for her to make headway, although
her strokes were still strong.
Miss Meitzner, who had made a
splendid record as a swimmer in a
number of places including Ocean
City, N. j., her home, left Cape May
at O'Clock Tuesday morning. She
was accompanied by Captain K. M.
Redgrave in charge of the Cool Spring
Coast Guard station on the New Jer-
sey coast, and several men swimmers
in a boat. She swan easily and joked
with the men in the boat at various
times.
About four and one-half miles off
the Delaware Shore she was met by
Captain Irving Steele, of the Coast
Guard station at Lewes, in a boat. At
that time she was going strong and
joked with the captain and his men.
She continued her efforts to make
Lewes, but in the latter part of the
time she was in the water made abb
solutely no headway. She got into the
boat of Captain Redgrave and return
ed to Cape May.
Miss Meitzner is seventeen years
old, weighs 14O pounds, and is 5 feet,
A inches in height. She was pro-
nounced a wonderful swimmer by all
who saw her in the water. Captain
Steele is of the opinion that had she
left Cape May two hours earlier she
could have escaped the tide and made
the entire distance.

railroads will mean boost of about $3O0O000O00O.
Such boost has already been foreshadowed by a
United States Supreme Court decision written by
Justice Pierce Butler, former railroad attorney, in
case involving the Indianapolis Water Company. But
conclusive court authorization of such increase is
generally held to depend ION the outcome of the
Kansas City case
If the $30OO0OO000O increase in valuation is ap-
proved by the courts the public utilities of the
try will be entitled increase their rates as to
earn about two billion dollars more annually.
Public regulation will then become joke
Sound business judgment, of course, will prevent
the utilities from making the rate in
creases they will be entitled to by law But instead
of the fear of regulation, their only fear will be that
Of cutting off patronage by charging prohibve rates.
In view of the painful development of regulation
it would seem that the present threat ought to be
a matter of keen public interest
That the $s00O0,oOoo0o case to be tried at Kansas
City Oct is matter of public indifference is one
of the interesting facts of an interesting era
