To leap to the boys rescue would mean death
for Akut, too; but the brave old ape never hest
tated. Bristling and growing he leaped to the
grass just as the king ape charged. Korak, too,
leaped forward to meet the attack; but leaped
crouching, beneath the outstretched arms.
Quickly, with all the weight of his body and the
strength Of his trained muscles. he drove a
clinched first into the bulls stomach. The king
ape groaned with pain.

OLD HOMES CAN
BE- MODERNIzED
BY INSULATION

/ Only too frequently home owners
consider the problem of undermining
their homes solely from the View
point of improved appearance. They
forget that methods of house con
strurtion have changed considerably
in the last halfdozen years and are
| ontent with removing an unSightly
| porch, charging the slope of the roof
; md adding I coI o. paint. Yet,
.hese things cannot, alone convert
, their home intq modern dwellings,
In the moderizing of any home
built 10 years ormore ago two fac
/ ors are of primary Importance. One
! is the heating pint and the other
is insulation. Mt the kind of in
sulation that goS around electric
wiring, but building insulation that
retards passage oi neat through the
q walls and roof ofthe dwelling, both
from the inside OF, and from the
outside in.
Today, hundredA of thousands of
new homes are ind iilated, providing
for the owners fHl economies and
/ comforts never sforc achieved.

! not confined to ned dwellings under
+ construction. 1t ID be economical
" istalled in houjs already built.
10 neglect the advantages of inSul-
alton while modernting the home is
akin 10 installing listening tile on
walls and floors oh bathroom and
/ leaving in old, inefficient plumbing
/ fixtures.
Insulation in the cmodcling of n
home does two thinF. BY prevent
! ing the passage of artificial heat
out through the wa and roofs, 1t
makes homes warmd in winer. BY
preventing the inftration of out
/ side heat il makes uses cooler III
summer. In remod+ z homes, in
sulation board is aI4ied in various
ways The roof is q most import
ant point because I'll greatest heat
! leakage is there. lsulation board
is applied preferably to the under
side of the rafters, ,or it can be
4 placed over the old rdfing, if a new
roof surface is to hdapplied. An
other method is to ably the board
over the top floor ceing joists.
Where new Outsie finish is to
be applied, walls canbe insulated
/ by applying insulatioi board over
( the old siding and utler the new
/ finish. If the inside OF the house is

applied in lath form, serving also
as the base for new phsteings.

The five room bungalow repre-
Sents q larger part of all our home
building than any other type. This
type of house is Inexpensive to
build, has good accommodations and,
if it is well designed looks well.
In most houses of this kind the
living room is at the front. but it
IS usually placed alongside another
room, so some of the best views
of the front garden are lost, but in
his plan, this error has not been
rade. The living room tsands forth
by itself, with great bay window
At the front to command the view
end with the fireplace in a situation
where people sitting in front of it

While undoubtedly the living room
IS the feature of the house, the other
rooms also have remarkable quail
ties. The dining room, for example,
i lighted with three large windows
and there is doorway to the porch,

dining porch in fine weather.
One of the many fine things about
this plan is that every room in the
house has cross ventilation. 1t is
extremely rare TO find this in 4 five
room bungalow where ordinarily at
least one room has windows on one
side only. Cross ventilation in the
sitchen is assured by one wall being
almost completely given over to
windows. an additional one being
placed at the front. Facing the rear
through the entry is a doorway.
The placing of the refrigerator ii
the entry is an excellent feature; if
an electric refrigerator is used its
location will be convenient to peo-
rle working in the kitchen. The
Kitchen is made complete with built
in cases and there is space for a

Insurance Makes
Home Possible

i it were not for fire insurance,
three almost insurmountable obsta-
Gle: would discourage home owner
ship.
Without financial protection the
cost of building materials would be
almost prohibitive. The builders
e<timate would reflect the uncer-
ahty and the chance he was TAX
iIg without insurance. Not for a
moment would there be security.
Money must be borrowed, mortgages
must be arranged, but what bank or
would consider a mort
gage unsecured by sound insurance.
With adequate insurance, the in
vestment of the home owner is vir-
tually without risk; the cost of his
home comes within his means; his
way to ownership is made smooth:
Because of fire insurance, the world
looks upon money invested in
home as tangible asset.

Los ANGELES. Mar. 2:.-Witll
very favorable weather and feed
conditions throughout the earlv
lamb producing sections, both IN
California and Arizona, as well as
in Tennessee and Kentucky, it be-
gins to look as though the markets
will have burdensome supplies by
the middle Of May. There is Il
larger lamb crop reported in vir-
tuallv every lamb growing section
of the United States, and in every
locality, reports indicate that
larger percentage Of lambs viii be
fat than last year.
The best advice that could be
given to the California and Ari.
zona early lamb producer would be
TO sell lambs when they are ready
to 90 TO market. If only few can
be sorted out, il would seem the
best policy TO get these lambs NOV
ing to market ahead of the general
run of lambs from other sections.
Market observers generally believe
/ that the smaller weight would be
more than offset by the present
/ prices.
California and Arizona early lamb
producers have been fortunate in
recent years in getting the bulk OF
I their lambs to market before the
! Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia
crops were ready TO move. This
year. however, the far western
lambs are late-and the eastern
lambs promise to be fat early.
A reader Of this column writes in
asking the value Of whey as feed
for pigs, with the statement that he
can buy whey at $500 a cwt. Whey
is a splendid hog feed but with
young pigs, should be fed with al

dairymen and others who feed whey
to pastcurize it before feeding to
pigs to prevent any possible spread
Of disease. Under present condi-
tions in the dairy business, it would
seem like mighty good business to
devote more whey to pig feeding
because the outlook on the hog mar
lket appears to be very firm. Pow

TO the pig and hog ration and in
many instances, can be purchased at
prices whieh make il an economical

1t has always seemed as though
western barley raisers have been on
the wrong track IN attempting TO
build up an export market for bar
ley. Practically every country IN
the world can grow barley and, in
most instances, with cheaper labor,
can undersell the American farmer
on foreign markets. We should
give more study to building up home
markets for the products we pro-
duce. We must gradually lose much
of our export trade for farm pro
ducts for our costs are too high to
permit US to compete with other
cuntries because they do not have
our standard of living.
Barley is splendid livestock
feed. We should be able to develop
home market for a very large per
centage of our barley crop. To do
this, we must encourage hog pro-
duction, cattle and lamb feeding.
1t may be that some study will BE-
HtttSSdi " piNpNi4s 'HiN H"'''F "
make it more valuable as livestock
feed. When we do develop home
market for barley via the livestock
route, the bothersOme price fluctu-
ations of recent years may be elm
mated to a large extent through a
more stabilized outlet. AS it is
now, the barley grower doesn't know
within $40 to so ton of what his
crop will be worth when market
| time comes around.
1t is very doubtful whether cheap
money, or loans at very low interest
rates, will actually prove to bring
about the much discussed "farm re-
lief". AS a, matter Of fact, low in
\ tcrest rates often encourage over
production, the very thing that has
brought about an apparent need for
government help.

BUILDING COSTS
IN u. S. DECLINE
Figures Indicate They Have
Reached Lowest Level for
Readjustment Period.

Construction costs in the United
States during August were lower than
at any time in the past two years ano
indications are that they have reached
their bottom level for the general read
justneent period, according to statisti-
cal analysis Just completed by the
Associated General Contractors IN
America.
The average of construction costs in
the principal construction centers OF
the country in August showed decline
for the fifth consecutive month, drop
ping to index number 1884, or three
fiftl1s of q point below July and 40
points below that for the corresponding
period year ago, the chart OF the
association shows.
Taking a line through the cost trends
following the general business recess
sions of 1924 and 1927, when average
points, respectively, and which are
closely paralleled by the present trend,
Edward j. Harding, assistant general
manager of the Associated General
Contractors, states that any further
downward movement is hardly to be
expected.
Mr.. Harding points out that following
the general recession in 1927 construc-
ton costs gradually decreased 4 points
IN 1lVe mOnGnS, ana CIlhG a&oO 1OIloWnlB
the depression in 1924 they declined S
points in a period of three months to
the low levels Of those periods. In both
instances the index reached its low
figure within year from the low point
in general business, which in the pres
ent cycle is believed to have been in
December Of last year. ,
The cost Of construction has varied
but little in the last seven years, Mr..
Harding states, as the upward trend of
the cost of labor in general has been
Just about Offset by the downward trend
Of the cost of material. During the
current year the index number for
labor wages has remained stationary at
232, the charts show, while the index
for basic material prices has declined
8 points in the last five months to 176.
In both the previous recessions cited
wages were a factor in reduced. con-
struction costs, whereas In the present
movement they have played no part,
having been maintained at their highest
levels, Mr. Harding states. Material
prices, however, are at lower level
than at any time in the past four years,
and as costs have apparently hit bot
tom, the present Is a particularly adj
vantageous time for economical con-
struction, he believes.

Thus, the prospects are informed, they
have a chance to enjoy profits with the
promoters.
The lecturer expresses the belief that
If the prospects buy now they can re-
sell In about six months and make
nearly 100 per cent profit, or sell after
18 months or year and make 200 per
cent profit. This is q conservative
estimate, the lecturer declares.
In the sales contract or receipt for
the down payment, however, is a state
ment that the company does not guar
antee any resale.
The lecture ends, sometimes after the
audience has listened attentively as
long as an hour. More activity en-
sues. Some chauffeur butler statesmen
drive OF with prospects to make per-
sonal inspection of certain lots. Others
remain in the dining hall to confer
further with prospects. :
Statesmen return with prospects from
q survey of lots. Financial managers
are introduced to prospects and retire
with them to private booths at one end
of the hall. A blackboard Is set up in
front of the building Financial man
ayers come from booths with prospects
and talk to an agent at the blackboard,
who holds q megaphone.
Crier Shouts Out Sales.
Quickly lifting the megaphone to his
mouth, this agent shouts out for all to
hear, Lot No. -, block No. -,
soldl" This information then is
marked on the blackboard so other
prospects may know what parcels no
longer are available for purchase.
Sometimes within q half hour as
many as 10 or dozen lots are chalked
up as sold.
When the purchaser makes down
payment he is given copy of the sales
contract or a receipt detailing the terms
of the sales agreement, one of the doc
uments containing the statement that
no guaranty of resale for the purchaser
is made by the company promoting the
subdivision.
This statement, though sometimes in
small print, is included in the contract
or sales receipt and has been found to
be legal and binding.
