man, figuratively out in the
cold, but he quickly remedied
that condition by moving into

Flowers are being used

Mrs. Merton L. White has
adopted this new fashion,

Representative Virginia E.
Jenckes' tea for the young
Indiana basso, Mr.. Carlton
Gauld-who will be heard
this afternoon in concert at
the National Theater in
her spacious apartment at
the Northumberland, was a
very delightful one. Many
callers thronged the draw
ing room and dining room,
where an artistic floral deco
ration was carried out-pink
snapdragons in tall vases,
and a great bouquet Of
Easter lilies forming an ef-
fective background for the
hostess, who received in a
gown OF. the most exquisite
lace of a rose-pink tint,
with a girdle of deep peri
winkle blue and pink velvet
knotted at the left side, the
scarf-ike ends reaching al
most to the hem.
Miss Virginia Ray Jenckes,

has beautiful dark eyes and
the most delicate coloring,

feta of a lighter shade.
It was she who escorted
the guests into the dining

sistants were on hand to
proffer coffee or tea, sand
wiches, bonbons and cakes;
also, the most delicious little
hot, crusty biscuits with
what tasted to me like rails
ins baked in them.

Few deny that industrial progress has
been greatly furthered by inventions.
Inventions usually mean new ma
chimes or processes.
These new machines or processes
save labor.
Saving labor means lower cost per
unit Of product.
Lower cost Of product means lower
price.
Lower price means that more people
can afford to buy the product, and
therefore larger sales.
Larger sales mean larger produc-

Larger production means that more

absorbed by the whole house during

insulating the roof. II the house

Is Stressed AT

In these hot days when most
businessmen are so prone to say
"manana" when a customer needs
some repairs, the public will be
pleasantly surprised, in fact almost
shocked, when. upon calling Ridley'S
Tin Shop, phone 161, 1t finds that
Its call, be Ii large OF small, win be
promptly and efficiently attended.
Ridley has added a new service
Tor the public, namely plumbing
and gas fitting. This service has
been added TO his regular line Of
ali kinds OF sheet metal and roofing
works and Is done or is personally
supervised by Dale Jones, a man
who has had years of the right kind
OF experience in these lines. The
shop Is fully licensed and bonded
and Is equipped to give immediate
and satisfactory service to those
who want dependability, first class
workmanship and quality materials
ut q reasonable cost.
Cheap materials, inferior work
manship and unreliability are things
which cannot be bought or found
IN Ridley'S Tin Shop. All work that
goes out Of the shop is guaranteed
by Ridley.
The shop is making a speciality Of
air conditioning jobs during the
warm summer months. More and
more Valleyites are beginning to
appreciate the value Of this i'm
pcrtant item. Air conditioning
plants, formerly restricted to dance
floors and restaurants, are finding
their way into many business es-
adjustments and even into homes.
Ridley is in a position to figure

Home Repairs
Should Be Made
During Summer

Summer Is an ideal season In
which to repair fireplaces and faulty
flues. according to fire Chief II. p.
Sarran. Such repairs may be ef-
fected by obtaining modernization
credit from any financial institu-
ton approved by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration.
There r various causes for
smoking fireplaces. "A flue OPEN
ing that is too small for the size
Of the fireplace opening NAV cause
smoking. The area OF the fireplace
opening should not be more than
IL IL times the net area OF the flue
section. Also the fireplace may be
too shallow. Ordinarily, 1t Shsuld
be ID inches to 20 inches deep. Very
little advantage is TO be obtained
from larger fireplace openings in
deeper fireplaces. The sides should
not be perpendicular. They should
be splayed or constructed so that
they slant inward and upward TO
the flue. This will help radiate
heat out into the room. II 1t IS
found that a fire burns on only one
side. this may be due to the un-
equal slope OF the sides OF the
