INSULATED HOME
MORE DESIRABLE
and ATTRACTIVE

5Thc public today has become in,
sulation conscious. Practically
, everyone has been educated by ad
vcrtising campaigns to the under
standing that a properly insulated
home is much mere livablc, being
cooler in summer and warmer in
winter, quieter, and far less costly
to heat. When Il prospective build.
cr goes to bark or building and
loan association to borrow money
for building purposes, one of the
questions likely to be asked is "Will
the house be insulated" Where
house is offered FOR sale, the pros
pcc,ive purchasers are apt to in
quirc, "ls the house insulated"
In fact, the time is coming when
no one will thinli of building !,
house without insulation, any more
than they would think of leaving
out pipes for water, or wires for
electric heating.
Here in FL Centre we have two
distinct seasons and provision
should be made III homes to keep
cut as much of the summer heat
as possible, and also, to retain heat
within the walls Of the home during
the winter months.
In many of the newer homes the
question of insulation has been sat
isfactoiily taken care of by the use
of fibre insulating board in the
,vullS aud .nilipu, hi, ,,,,t,,;,1 49,
made of diffcrcn, wood or cclulose
fibres. Sugar canc-fibrc, spruce pulp
and many other vegetable fibrcs
are used in making these insulating
sheets, and all Of them have wond.
crful insulating value. These ma.
teria.s are resistant to heat, cold
noise and moisture, making the
home stronger, Guictcr, cooler in
summer, warmer IL winter, and less
costly to heat.
These insulating boards came into
use less than eight years ago, but
already have proved to be SO sat
isfactory that more than 100000
American homes have been made
more comfortable and livablc by
lhcir use.
This insulating material comes in
the form of big, bread boards thai
can be used as shcathing for outer
walls, for roof Insulation, or to line
attics or bascmerts,i and also in the
form of lath. In this latter form il
only supplies insulation at little ad.
ditional cost, but provides a perfect
plaster base that gives permanent
beauty to plastcrcd walls.

q APPROVAL ! q TO
BETTER HOMES

With the start Of the Better
Homes in America Campaign for
FL Centre, under the direction of
Mrs. O. G. Horne. local chairman,
and sponsored by the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce, citizens will
be encouraged in buying, building
and undermining their. homes and
Identifying their gardens. In speak
ing of the Peter Homes in America
movement, President Hoover says
"Thcse local committees in more
than 5000 cities, towns and rural
communities, are bringing together
four groups to which we must look
for real Announcements: First, experts
who through invention and wise
planning improve house construc-
ton and equipment, and materials
aud methods used in homemaking
-secoAd, the leaders in construction
and other industries who employ
tie work of cxIcrts in improving
products and reducing their costs;
third, home owners who maintain
high standards in their own proper
ties and want TO make the most of
their limited resources; fourth, civ.
irmindcd organizations which work
for higher standards in home neigh
borhoods, construction and main
tainance of homes. and family life"
sThc first essential for whole
SOME life is Il good house, in which
the family may live in privacy and
comfort, and justly take pride. The

BURGLAR AGAIN
ELUDES POLICE
ProWler Has Bored His Way
Into Score of Stores in
Last Two Weeks.

The brace and bit" burglar, who
has bored his way into more than
a score of north side drug stores
and groceries in the last two weeks,
eluded the police by an eyelash
again early this morning when he
wiggled his way out of Kroger
grocery in which he had been
trapped by Sergeant william Fields.
Fields discovered a small hole
bored in the rear door Of the
grocery, at 1854 College avenue, and
learned the prowler was ransacking
the stores interior.
Unable to crawl through the
burglar-made entrance, he ran to
the front door, but the proWler,
frightened, escaped through the
rear door.
In his haste the burglar left his
brace and bit and a screw driver
in the store. He took no loot.

interference
WITH WFBM IS
TRACED DOWN
Anderson Station Is Found
to Be BroadCaSting on
Same Wave.

The Indianapolis Times radio in
reference man this week has been
checking another type Of interior
ence-not the kind made by bad
electrical equipment power lines
and such, but interference made by
one radio station broadcastIng on
another's wave.
For the last three weeks station
WHBU of Anderson, broadcaSting
on 1910 kiIocycles, using 100 watts
power. has been swinging off wave
and on several nights giving local
fans something to talk about.
WHBU was checked by The Times
interference man and found to be
working on the same wave with
WFBM, Indianapolis Power and
Light station, which brOadcasts on
1890 kuocycles, using 1000 watts
power.
The Times Interference man
drove half way to Anderson and by
using wave meter and the radio
car made the check and found the
station to be about eighteen kllO-
cycles of wave. WHBU has been
notified and local fans probably will
not be worried with this type OF
interference again.
WFBM Equipment Explained
To local fans not familiar with
the equipment Of WFBM, the fol-
lowing information will help them
to learn just how the choice of
correct transmitting apparatus will
not only minimize radio interior
enCe, but will absolutely eliminate
interference in the form of whistles,
technically called heterOdynes that
are so noticeable and aggravating
to the listeners as they skim the
dials trying to tune out two close
stations.
WFrBM is assigned to the fre-
quency of 1890 kilocycles. To fol-
low out the dictates of the federal
radio commission, it must stay with
in one-half of one kilocycle of the
frequency of 1890 kilocycles.
There is only one method that
will discharge this duty satisfac-
torily. 1t is performed by the use
Of a specially ground quartz plate,
ground to the frequency of the sta
ton. 1t will not function on any
other frequency.
Only One of Kind in City
WFBM is the proud poSSesser of
a new and specially constructed
quartz crystal and It's associate
amplitier. This amplifier was de-
signed by two prominent Chicago
engineers and is the only one of its
kind in use today. AS previously
explained, this amplifler uses the
specially ground crystal which
makes it electrically impossible for
the station to transmit off wave.
To insure further accuracy
WFBM has three crystals, using
only one at time. The other two
constantly are being checked and
recheCked by the bureau of stand
ards at Washington.
If radio fans will keep check on
the stations they find broadCasting
on the local stations wave and send
the report to The Times radio inter-
ference man, he will watch for the
station that is making this trouble
and report it.

Oxygen in steel containers be-
comes the fuel that enables human
bodies and brains to continue

At $1,000 Feet Daily
Where during the war combatS
were occasional at 10000 feet, now
every day gunnery problems OF
army and navy flyers are worked
out at 1900 feet, while their planes
are equipped to take them on up to
$4,000 feet and higher for special
fighting.
Thus while military air operations
in the World war were conducted at
a maximum Of 10000 feet, In any
future conflicts the planes will OPP
crate two miles higher:
This type of fighting would be i'm
possible unless oxygen were supplied
the pilots.
Major w. 8. Woolford, medical

'enting with oxygen, saws flyers

sures and use of oxygen. That is,
none from their comparatively IN

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-08-28

'@rhe reactions of the body to low
oxygen" he says, vary with the
rapidity Of its occurrence and the
degree to which 1t is carried.
"Anoxemia Of the mountain
climber Is a slow development, but
the modern airplane transports the
flyer quickly from normal to low
atmosphere.
The oxygen shortage TO which
the flyer in high attitudes Is sub
jected produces an oxygen want IN
the tissues. He has air hunger and
begins to breathe more often and
more deeply.
Then his heart beats faster.
Sometimes an individual viii faint
under these conditions. Others dc

they collapse"
One-Hour Tanks
n. jor Woolford points out. how
ever, that travellers in commercial
airplanes are not subjected 70 these
attitudes. Seldom does anoxemla
appear under 5000 feet.
Oxygen carried In recently de-
veloped apparatus is intended for
one hours flying. Thus q series of
one-hour tanks supplies all that
may be required.
Flyers. of course, are tested ir
