With my regular instructor, Bob
Shank, back with me, climbed con-
fdently into a training plane at
HooSier airport, expecting to show
Shank how good I was.
Ready for the take-off, I pushed
forward on the stick, opened the
throttle and waited for plane to
gain speed. I waited too long. The
wheels began bouncing wildly, and
I pulled back sharply on the stick
to leave the ground.
I had pulled back too hard, and
after climbing a moment the wheels
hit the ground again and bounced
into the air, settling into the proper
climbing angle, as Shank righted my
error
Making a wide circle, a mile or
two in diameter, I prepared to land.
And what a landing!
In the first place, I started Gid
ing too steeply after cutting the
gun. Then, as we neared the
ground. I used too much rudder and
got the plane swinging from side
to side
Checking this, I leveled of too
soon and lost so much flying speed
that the wheels hit the ground with
bang and the plane bounced up
into the air again, finally coming

PROPER WIRING
ESSENTIAL FOR
HOME COMFORT

The value of electric service to
the home owner is generally admit
ted.
the home owner appreciates pro
per illumination and the convene
ence and desirability of electric APP
plianccs. The electric range has be-
come an accepted fact. Housewives
now realize its economy and general
desirability, its saving in time, la

fornia.
To have the home properly il
Illuminated and to use the many elec-
tric appliances that are practical
necessities, the home must be ade.
quately wire. If convenient outlets
for the connection of floor lamps
and appliances are left out, their
attachment becomes difficult and
awkward. If outlets are not provid-
ed in each room the use of the va,
cuum cleaner becomes difficult and
its value considerable impaired. If
switches are not provided at con-
venlent locations, home owners find
it necessary to grope about in the
dark, in order to turn on their
lights. If bracket outlets are not pro-
vided adjacent to dressing tables,
proper illumination cannot be OBJ
tanned. In short, the convenient use
of electric service is entirely de-
pendent upon proper wiring, and the
proper placement of outlets.

UNDERMINING OLD
HOMES GREATLY
IMPROVES VALUE

Home undermining appeals to own
ers of old homes from number of
different angles. Following are some
of the reasons for undermining which
| dealers have put before home own
| crs:
1.-The sale or rent value of an
old home may be greatly increased
! by improving its appearance and
equipping it with modern convent
ences. The increased value is con.
siderably greater than the cost of
making the improvements.
2-Feople not able or willing to
pay for the construction of new
house may have their old home mod
ern in appearance and convenience
for but part Of the cost Of new
building.
3-Most old homes hold hidden
treasure-sound lumber and sturdy
construction. The sound lumber in
an old house is well seasoned. Archi-
tects and contractors often pay a
premium for the lumber taken from
old buildings for use in building
apartments and other structures.
Most old houses are of real good con
struction-a value that the owner
would be wise in taking advantage
of.
MANY old homes have an unsat-
isfactory arrangement of rooms,
doors and windows. These features
can be made to the owners liking
by undermining.
st is not necessary to do all
the undermining work on a house at
one time, although this is usually
desirable. The owner can determine
on the work he wants done and have
it completed step-by step as he is
able to pay for it.
"a nondescript type of house
can be changed into a good archi-
tectural type, such as an English
cottage, one of the Colonial types
or an adoption of one of these styles.
"A house may be modernized
easily, without imparing the strength
OF any part.
S-Some owners of Id homes
Whit 10 Keep them because OF Sentl-
mental attachment. BY undermining
they can retain that to which senti-
ment is attached and at the same
time have modern conveniences and
attractiveness.
9-Owners of some old homes
would like to have them modernized
because of their constrast to the
modern houses which haNs been built
around them.
l0-An old home can be made alb
solutcly new in appearance, with no
indications that it has been made
ovcr
11-Unused attic and basement
space can be converted. into addi-
tional bed rooms, dens, sewing rooms,
play rooms, studios, billiard rooms
OF some other kind of special room.
l2-Kitchens can be made more
convenient and attractive by install
ing modern conveniences such as
built-in cupboard, cabinets, drawers,
and bins. Frequently space can be
found for dining alcove or break
fast nook.

Cedar Favored
For Building:

Twenty-nine hundred years ago
Solomon chose cedar for the temple
of all his glory; centuries later
Louis XIV, frances grand mon
argue, selected cedar for one of the
great gateways; pioneers in our own
land chose red cedar for their log
cabins and later for their mansions.
president Jackson preferred cedar
for his chests at "The Hermitage.") }
Favorite of poets and painters,
choice of kings and empefors, ad-
mired in every continent for nearly

thought in laying out the wiring
plan for home is as essential to-
day as proper plumbing. The clcc-
trical industry is concentrating on
the proper wiring of homes, and has
established a minimum standard in
the number of switches and con
venient outlets that should be put
into the average priced home, in or
der to permit the owner to utilize
electric service in the safe, convent
ent and practical manner in which
it is now generally desirable to use
it.
You wouldn t consider the con
struction of house without bath
room or laundry trays; neither would
you consider the building of house
without wiring fer electric lights.
Possibly, though, you have not given
thought to the wiring necessary for
the convenient use of appliances.

Many Houses Have
Much Waste Space

A study of the undermining op-
portunities for owners in the attics
and easements of old homes, made
by the National Lumber Manufac-
turers Association, shows that in
an average six-room house of about
23,750 cubic feet enclosed by walls
and roof only about $4,000 cubic
feet are given over to space used
for such common domestic occu'
pancy as resting, eating, sleeping
recreation. entertainment, cooking
and the like. OF the remaining
$3.50 feet, 5000 are found in the
average cellar or basement and
about 1850 in the attic. This space
IN many houses is not .ully utilized

is an important acquisition that has
become the center of attraction in
the room. Consequently, its compan-

Travelling alone on one of the longest journeys ever undertaken by an Alaska tourist, Miss Judith Q. Van Planck, wealthy woman of New York City, sailed from Seattle on the A. s. s. Co.'s Nome liner Victoria on July 6.
 Miss Planek went to Nome and St. Michaels on the vessel; then by launch to Ensee and Marshall on the lower Yukon below Holy Cross. There she boarded an A.
