Criticises Government
Yesterday Howard Orr, Circleville
president of the national asSocia-
ton, criticised the Federal govern
ment for entering competition with
privately owned and operated can
neries.
Projects under rural rehahilita-
ton agencies for the operation OF
canneries with government finances
according to present plans can re-
suit only in inexperienced, incom-
petent operation of canneries pro-
ducing inferior quality products
with resultant lower prices in I'M
fair competition to private owner
ship, Mr.. Orr declared.
Other speakers at the afternoon
session included Governor McNutt
r. d. Calm, financial writer for the
Chicago Tribune, and Edgar AShby
state association president
McNutt Reviews Outlook
While telling Gamers the success
and welfare OF the canning industry
will be reflected throughout the
state because of the many commu-
mites in which it provides employ
ment, Gov McNutt reviewed m
diana's economic status and out
look pointing out that it is the OBJ
Ject Of government TO insure each
person the opportunity to live in a
decent manner and that hungry
persons, who are irrational persons
are always found in the van of any
revolt"

GIRL OF 1855 HAD
MORE FUN CHANCES
So Says California Woman and She
Tells Why.

En- Tritrd Prcss
ALAMEDA. Cal, Nov. 23-The
girl Of 1885 had lot more fun and
lot better chance Of happiness
than her granddaughter has. be-
lieVes Mrs. Sophie Davis.
And Mrs. Davis didn't get her
theory by reading. She got it by ex-
perience. for she was a girl in 1855.
Recently she celebrated her one
hundred and first birthday.
She is a little disguised with the
modern girl who "swills gin and
sucks on cigarets."
IT'S not her duty to gallivant
around" Mrs. DAVIS says "A girls
duty is to make an advantageous
marriage and raise children.
Automobiles? They're the bunk,
she believes.
It's on their account that every
ones in a lethal hurry" Mrs Davis
declares. In my days we saw a
little country. but really saw it. To-
day you try to see a lot, and fail"

s NEW HOMES

Belle Haven, AleXandria's

the year, it was reported yester-
day, with the breaking of ground
for six additional homes.
All river view sites in this de-
velopment will be occupied by
the end of the year, according
to the prediction of Eugene Dime,
general manager of the Seidle

CATHEDRAL MANSIONS
First Bathtub in i. S.
Traced to Franklin

Many of the modern day fix
lures and commonplace convent
ences of a home have had an in
teresting and, sometimes turbulent
histories. For example: The
proSaic bathtub!
Students of bathtub history tell
us that Benjamin Franklin, re-
sponsible for many other construc-
tive acts, sponsored the appear"
ance of the bathtub in this coun'
try in the 1770'S. However, the
Franklin tub was little more than
a slipper, fitting over the bather's
legs and evoked little enthusiasm.
StartleS NeighborS
In 1912 Adam Thompson startled
neighbors in Cincinnati by install
ing a box-shaped affair lined with
lead in his home. Shortly after,
in 1845, historians on the subject
say the city of Boston passed an
ordinance making it illegal to
bathe unless a doctor had so or.
dered. Not until the early days Of
the Civil War was the act removed

This boiler feeds It's fire

Of weather, some OF the i'm.
proved types are equipped with

fire Is lighted, bypass is
opened, thus connecting the
combustion chamber directly
with the chimney. When the
chimney has been heated and
the proper draft developed, the
bypass is closed and the hot
gases pass through the long,
revertible, notwithstanding flue.
Any desired heat output is
automatically maintained by
a sensitive regulator which

minous materials, after which one
or more thicknesses of impreg,
mated felts are applied, mopping
between each ply and over the
last ply.
Soft tile drains with proper
pitch and outlets placed around
the footing of the exterior walls
are usually advisable to carry
away any water which may seep
down along the walls. One of the
best methods for damp-proofing
the inside of basement walls is
to apply liquid in which finely
divided iron is held in suspension.
This method has been used sue
cessfully in sewer and tunnel
work.

from that city's statute books. In
contrast, today sees the Federal
Government through the Federal
Housing Administration encourag-
ing the installation and moderni-
zation of bathrooms and of course
tubs, through modernization loans.
Bathing Upheld
Further indication of the man
ner in which early lawmakers
viewed the matter of personal
cleanliness is seen in a resolution
introduced about 1843 in Philadel-
phia under which bathing would
have been prohibited by the city
fathers from November to March!
AS it turned out, the suggestion
was tabled.
When Millard Fillmore became
President, the tide turned, due
principally to his installing a tub
in the White House. From that
time on, tub bathing increased in
popularity with recent bathtub
production figures totaling be-
tween 100000 and 100000 an
nually,

House Settling
Can Be Halted
With Care

Cracking of walls in house
or any other structure is caused
most frequently by settling of
the foundations, which usually
can be prevented by proper pre-
caution.
Where foundations rest on
filled or soft earth, they are apt
to settle unevenly in the course
of time and cause the plaster,
Stucco or walls to crack.
To prevent this settling, it is
advisable to test the bottom
of the foundation excavation to
determine the adequacy of the
bearing surfaces to support the
loads to which they may be sub
jected. Test pits or borings will
reveal the character of the
earth beneath the footings and
indicate the depth to which the
excavations should be carried.
The Washington times., 1935-01-12
PLYWOOD USED
FOR|NTER|ORS

One of the greatest single fac
tors in the stimulation of winter
building and repair work, which
is being urged by construction
and labor leaders, is the build
dry" idea, as it is known to archi-
tects and builders.
Materials used for this method
of construction include prefabri-
Gated interior wall coverings. Ply
wood, one of these coverings,
comes in broad sheets as large as
48 by 96 inches, ready to nail
to studding. 1t may be installed
rapidly at minimum OF cost
and may be finished Immediately,
since it is a dry material. Thus
it saves considerable time and
makes possible earlier occupancy
of the building.
Plywood comes in variety OF
woods and sizes, its thickness
varying from 3-16 of an inch in
three-ply to 3-16 inches in seven,
ply, as shown in Commercial
Standard CS45-31" and Com
mercial Standards CS35." issued
by the Bureau of Standards Of
the Department of Commerce.
The method of manufacture
makes this material practically
split-proof and warp-proof, the
grain in each piece of wood be-
ing placed at right angles to the
