Ames, Iowa, Feb. 10 = Cooper ative housekeeping is no longer Just a dream of the future. It works And it is lots of fun. according to the girls who do 1t.
 Hixty-five co-eds at the Iowa State college are making . successful ex- pertinent in community living. com muhity working and community sharing of bills.
 They have entire charge of Barton hall. They cook. clean. mend. wash iron and do everything else that the scientific housekeeper knows should be done. Then they turn around and take turns being hostess to each other to emphasize the social graces
 The result is decreased cost and increased joy in their work.
 It's Not New Idca
 The cooperative plan. similar tc the original idea of the college back in the 70's when every student wal more or less poor and was supposed to work. was started four years age on & small scale. This year. when Barton Hall opened, the waiting list was so long that great care was used in selecting the girls for the large scale experiment. No girl was ac. cepted who could afford to pay the regulation board fee, which runs around $5. The cooperative plan re- duces this to $2.50.
 The girls are under the -ame rules as the girls in other dormi- tories. They pay the same room rent, but save on food. laundry and other extras.
 Eight committees, of about eight girls each. shift duties once . week. Two committees prepare breakfast and luncheon and two prepare dinner in the evening. The other four committees keep the halls, stairways. living room, bath rooms and bedrooms immaculate They run their own work or schedule, cleaning IS minutes be- fore classes each morning ts straighten up for the day. Even chores such as washing the dist AlOtuS AIC AlNlACO dAVNuu 6O CdCl group does its bit.
 The house has a chaperon who buys the food the girls order wher their classes prevent their market ing.
 The girls who are breakfast makers for given week must bs up and at it by six a. m. Fol breakfast must be served, eater and the dishes washed in time fol an eight o'clock class. The lunch con shift does much of its prepara tion in the early morning. Th' dinner shift begins its prepara ton by 4:30 for the dinner hour | six. leaving Q long evening fo study and recreation. Girls talk turns being dinner hostess an, profit by the experience.

 "One of the chief objections | housekeeping nas always been 1t tonesomeness." one co-operativ coed said. This plan remedie that.

CERTAIN RICH MEN"

Three rich men have done in these
panic days what rich men are not
supposed to do. At some risk Of a
moment they have come to the aid of
poorer men. Mr.. Rockefeller did 1t by
announcing at crucial moment Of
selling that he was buying stocks; Mr.
Rosenwald did it by guaranteeing the
margin accounts of all his employees;
Mr.. Ford did it seeking flip for
general business by announcing cut
in the price of his automobiles. From
each of these acts the man respons-
ible will take certain advantages. That
is fair enough. The point is that
certain rich men" showed that they

ONLY ONE BATHTUB TO EVERY

This statement was made by Stanley

plumbing. Professor Smith bases his
assertion on statistics worked out for
the country as whole.
This fact seems surprising to the

remember the days of the "old oaken
bucket, and thu fact that our present

belieed in frequent bathing. II that
ancient Egyptian Pharoah's daughter
had not been believer in the bath,

YEAR-ROUND SURFACE FOR Low
COST ROADS

The United States Bureau of Public
Roads, in cooperation with the asphalt
industry, is to make an extensive
study of low-cost methods of oil-treat-
ing hundreds of miles of gravel, sand
clay and top-soil roads all over the
country.
The traffic on these roads is such
as to require smooth. dustless year
round surface, but not great enough
to justify costly high-type surfaces.
Al detailed analysis of the methods,

various types of low-cost surfaces thus

OF STORMS
ON RADIO STUDIED
Changes in Earth's Magnet
ism Cause Long-Wave Sig
nails to Vary Greatly.

Scientists at the Bureau of Stand
ards, who have been studying the nlys-
FERROUS relationship between radio re-
ception and changes in the earth's mag
netism, have found that long-wave
radio signals sent in the daylight are
much stronger after severe magnetic
storms.
In the case of long distance recep-
ton from European stations there is
variable but definite increase in the in
tensity Of the received signal after the
height of severe magnetic disturbance.
This increase reaches its maximum In
from one to two days and disappears in
from four to five days.
Lapse Below Normal
In long-wave reception over distances
from 1000 to 1000 miles there is gen.
eral tendency for the strength to be
below normal several days before the
maximum of the storm. For distances
OF from $50 to 500 miles however, there
Is an increase in the intensity of the
signals before as we'll as after the storm
reaches a maximum.
Observations on the broadcast recep-
ton of Chicago station taken by G.
w. Pickard, radio engineer at Newton
Center Mass, showed that the de-
preston of night reception accompany
lib MdBHCtIC 6JOIHlS Is very T.
Daytime reception from q long-wave
station at Nauen, France, showed the
opposite effect, an increase in field
strength accompanying and following
the storm.
Signals Tested.
The field intensity of signals sent on
long waves Is believed to be less inf1u-
enced by magnetic storms than those
sent on waves In the broadcast band
For that reason only the most severe
disturbances were considered in the cal
culations
During one severe storm the intensi-
ties were well above average on the day
OF maximum disturbance. but two DAYS
later the intensity had increased so
greatly that In some cases it was more
than 200 per cent above the average
value for the month. This increase was
regarded as too great to be merely a
recovery from an abnormal condition be-
fore the storm.
