In- sulation is obtained by glass fibre. In the event that plaster is used, as in most residence construction, it said that nothing would be burn able in the house except the floors and even the floors might be made
 of some non-burnabe material. It is claimed by the promoters of this type of construction that an ordinary residence can be completed at not more than 70 per cent of the cost of the usual frame construction. Additional good qualities about the Cooper house" are that it will last couple of hundred years at least,

 But, as on the Pacific Coast, people everywhere have stopped talking hard times and think that we have turned the corner" MT. Simpson said.

 The afternoon session of the House was given over to discussion of the Holman fish trap bill, the body resolving itself into committee to hear representatives of the fish ing industry.
 Speaker J. s. Holman, author of the measure, explained the bill was regulatory bill and not a revenue measure and had for it's purpose the equalizing of operations be- tween large and small canners.
 A grae-ua5ed taA of from two dollars per 1000 fish on 75.000 to $50 per 1000 on amounts over 300.- 900 for medium red, echoes. pink and chum salmon caught in any one trap or seine is provided for in the bill On red, king, and sock eye the range is from $3o per 1000 up to SEQ.
 Fishing representatives protested the rates as confiscatory. George A. Lingo, Chairman of the House revenue committee, which had the bill for a time, voiced the opinion that the measure would accomplish it's objective if enacted into law and said his committee had turned it back to the fisheries committee with the hope the measure would be redrawn to meet the purpose Holman had intended.

BALTIMORE, August 10.-That
real estate Is on the upturn and will
continue to increase is proven by the
fact that local insurance companies
and financial institutions are holding
on to repossessed properties, accord
ing to Philip c. Pitt, secretary Of
the Real Estate Board of Baltimore.
He said:
THE number Of genuine real estate
bargains coming into the market have
been decreasing for some time, and
many believe that in the near future
such bargains will be mighty scarce.
Evidence of this is seen in the fact
that professional real estate dealers
and investors, who we're being offered
more bargains than they could in
spect a year or SO ago, are turning
in increasing numbers to the prop
erty wanted column of the news
papers as means of contracting those
who are anxious to sell at prices
which the dealer believes will assure
him future profit.
Further evidence Of the upward
trend is seen in a statement by
Baltimore realty firm that it has
been instructed by one of its clients,
local savings bank, to increase the
sale price 20 per cent on a list of %
houses. The new prices range from
$1,000 to Sl5,000."

AirConditioning
Air Conditioning Only
Application of Old
Principles.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

Air conditioning, as we now know
II, Is merely the application of numer-
GUS old and established principles of
heating, cooling, f1ltering, humidity
ing, dehumidifying and circulation.
Strangely enough there have been
practically no radical developments
made since these principles were first
applied to the control of weather in
industry. The old methods were
merely modified and sinplified, result
ing in modern year-around comfort air
conditioning.
At the present time, however, much
attention is being directed toward the
development of distinctly new and
different ways Of manufacturing
climate.
The greatest objection to air con-
ditioning for the medium and low
priced home Is the almost exhorbitant
cost. However, to devise new and
cheaper methods of supplying auto
matte Winter heat only is no doubt
the most important question now being
considered. 1t will obviously be of in
terest to greater number of people
than the all-year- around problem.
Covered Coal Studied.
Coal interests are working on the
idea of wrapping coal in aluminium
foil so that it may be more easily
handled, and burn more efficiently.
The idea being that the metal cover
ing will fuse the surface of the coal
and cause more gradual release of
heat energy.
An English concern has granted
patent rights to an organization in
this country for the manufacture of
electric-oil heating systems. A rela-
lively small tank of heavy oil is located
In the basement and heat from electric
immersion heaters is stored in it. The
heat IN this oil is then transferred to
q regular steam or hot-water heating
system which functions in the ordinary
manner. By using oil as a storage
medium It is possible to make use of
"off-peak" low cost power rates which
are available in some parts of the
country.
The heat which is available at all
SAAAOo IA HOtll oil dIlu WdIcI, IeRdIQ-
less of its temperature, Is being ex-
tracted and utilized by a system
called reversed cycle refrigeration. In
this system a refrigeration machine
OF the same type used to cool a struc-
ture Is connected so that instead of
pumping heat out of the interior air
into hotter exterior atmosphere, the
heat in cold air or water is pumped
into the area to be heated In other
words, the same machinery used to
heat house can be used to cool it by
merely reversing its cycle of opera
ton.
Oil Burner Prices Down.
The manufacturers of oil burners
have brought their prices down so
that almost every one can now enjoy
automatic heat. Arrangements are
now being made that enable the owner
Of an oil-burning heating plant to
obtain domestic hot water the year
around. using the same boiler and
burner both Winter and Summer.
Developments are being made in
cooling and drying machines for air
conditioning which are totally unlike
anything now being used. Engineers
are turning to chemicals such as lith-
tum and calcium chloride for their
drying properties.

"These new places for people to live
cies in the Fall. Apartment vacancies
rose from around 220 in January to
over 1,100 by August. During this
period, barely a thousand new-housing
units were finished and ready for
occupancy. When upward of 5000
more houses and apartments come on
the market during the Fall there will
be no question of any housing short
age, much less a housing emergency.
No Summer Slump.
Usually building construction slows
down around June and July. This
does not seem to be the case this year.
During May, June and July, over
1,700 housing units got under way in
metropolitan Washington; during the
first four months of the year, the total
was less than 1,700 units, somewhat
less than for the three following
months.
"Of real significance is the large
amount of construction in Maryland
and Virginia. OF the 3,421 units
started in 1885, 1,543 of them-of
which only 254 were apartments
were built or are being erected outside
of the District of Columbia. For some
years metropolitan Washington has
been growing faster than the city in
proportion to its size and this unusual
amount of construction is an indica-
ton of the continuance of this trend
to the suburban areas.
Allowing for some slackening of the
pace, 5000 houses and apartments
will get under way this year in Wash
ington and its environs. About 65 per
cent will probably be houses; the bal
ance multi-family dwellings. Conserv-
atively this will provide living quarters
for 81 1000 people"

PENNINGTON, N. J. Jan. 10.--- Richard Bruno Hauptmann accused kidnapper and murdere of Chas. A. Lindberg Jr., sat calmly apparently but little disturbed while Betty Cow former nursemaid of the Lindbergs and the last person of the family to see the child alive, told of looking into the nursery and finding the child gone. She told of the hurried search and how, when it became ap- parant that the child was not in the house, Col. Lindberg loosing his comA posture called Ann, "They have stolen the baby"
 Edward Reilly, Hauptmann's at torney, cross examined Miss Cow for more than three hours but was unable to shake her testimony.
 The defense ended the day by promising, at the proper time, to reveal the names of the actual kid nappers, four men and two women, adding that these persons were known to the Lindbergs.
 Doctor John Condon, known as Jafsie, took the stand the following day and told of making contact iwth. the kidnapper and of paying the $50,000 ransome money. He stated that he is positive that Haupt- mann is the mysterious John with whom he talked and to whom he paid the money.
 A. Osborne, state writing expert, testified Friday that 391 pieces of writing taken from the ransom notes corresponded with the handwriting of Hauptmann.
 It is expected that the trial will take three or four weeks longer be- fore its completion.
