AirConditioning
Many New Ways Are Being
Applied to Provide Bene-
fits and Comfort.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER

There seems to be virtually no
limit to the number of ways that air
conditioning is being applied to pro-
vide comfort, improved atmospheric
conditions for industry and even be
made essential fer the preservation OF
life.
When Admiral Byrd decided to
bring back a flock of penguinS with
him from Little America it was OBJ
viously necessary to provide an air
conditioned room aboard the ship,
Jacob Rupert, if the strange birds
were to survive the voyage. The trip
through the tropics, as well as the
warmer climates encountered on either
side of that belt, would have been
fatal to these seemingly human crea-
lures, accustomed to living in zero
and subZero temperatures. 1t was
therefore necessary to simulate those
conditions aboard ship, and an Amer
ican air-conditioning company re-
Gently shipped the equipment neces-
sary to keep the penguins cool and
comfortable during the long journey.
Motors of Aircraft.
The motors used on the aircraft Of
the Army and Navy, as we'll as those
used on commercial transport planes,
must be absolutely reliable, regardless
of the conditions under which they
operate. When flying at high alti-
tudes they naturally encounter very
low temperatures that the designers
and manufacturers can provide for
only through theoretical calculations.
In order to test these motors under
actual conditions Of below zero
weather the Government and several
manufacturers have built air-condi-
toned test rooms, where the motors
are operated in atmospheres exactly
like those encountered thousands Of
feet above the earth.
The Crawford w. Long Memorial
Hospital in Atlanta, Ga, has recently
installed air conditioning in the OBJ
stetrical room, so that babies are now
born in perfectly cooled and purified
air.
The dog kennels on board the
American steamship Manhattan are
completely air conditioned, and the
dogs can bask in the same comfort
enjoyed by their masters in the air
conditioned dining rooms few decks
below.
The first conditioning installa-
ton in Egypt is now being made by
an American firm in a movie studio
near the Pyramids.
Conditioned Bed Tent.
A large manufacturer of radios and
refrigerators recently introduced a
Evening star., 1935-01-19

device called an air-conditioned bed
tent. The occupant or occupants of
of the bed are completely covered
over by cloth canopy suspended by
poles, and a small air-conditioning
machine is connected to it. A gentle,
cooling breeze is quietly circulated
and the manufacturers claim that
there is no use in cooling the whole
room when only that small portion of
the room Is being used for con-
siderable length of time.
Another manufacturer has brought
out an air-conditioned robe to be
worn in a beauty parlor when ones
hair is being worked on. The use of
a number of these robes connected
to a central machine eliminates hav-
ing to cool the great quantity of
heated air caused by the electric
hair treating machines, concentrating
the cooling effect on the patrons.
Although the modern motor car is
equipped with no-draft ventilation
and other methods of circulating air
comfortably, an air conditioner for
automobiles has been put on the mar
ket that will make it difficult to tell
whether we are indoors or out. 1t
makes use of the heat from the ex-
haust pipe and Is built like a small
hot-air furnace.

"BUILD.DRY", is SPEEDY

One Of the greatest single factors 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
architects and builders.
Materials used for this method of
construction include prefabricated in
terior wall coverings. Plywood, one
OF these coverings, comes in broad
sheets as large as 48 by Sc inches.
ready to nail to studding. 1t may be
installed rapidly at minimum of cost
and may be finished Immediately,
since 1t Is a dry material. Thus it
saves considerable time and makes
possible earlier occupancy of the
building.

special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 19.-The
present session of the Legislature will
be presented with bill by the Mary
land League of Building Associations,
asking for the extension of the present
emergency withdrawal law passed in
1888, according to Stuart r. Wilcox,
president of the league. He added:
1.-THE directors are fully aware of
the fact that many associations have
already returned to normal operat-
ing basis, but there are many others
still confronted with demands for the
repurchase of shares which cannot
be met in full for considerable period
of time.
consequently they might be en-
barrassed seriously If they are left
open to attach by unreasonable and
arbitrary shareholders, who might
insist that all of their money, not
invested in long-term mortgages, be
returned to them at once"

Lowering of Fuel Bill.

An effective way of lowering fuel
bills when undermining a building is
to remove piece of the siding at
the ceiling height of each story and
then fill up the hollow spaces in the
walls by blowing rock wool into them
through pneumatic house. This light
weight rock material also provides fire
protection.

Fault of Cold Room.

Nothing is more unpleasant than
a room that cannot be heated in
Winter. Often this is the fault. not Of
the furnace, but of the windows and
doors or the walls which can be cor

A new one-piece expansion bolt for

compression Of its bowed sides is said
to give it tremendous holding power.

YARMOUTH, Nova Scotia, Dec. 28. Harry Howard Raymond, aged Il, i, .getired United States shipping mag nate, died last night at his home in Hebron. Until recently he was chair man of the Board of the Atlantic Gulf and West Indies Steamship Lines and at the time of his death was Preside e nt of the Colombian Steamship Company. He married Mrs. Nellie D. Raymond, widow of his brother Joseph s. Raymond, in 1884. She survives.
 Sticks to Old Advice
 Early in life Raymond determined that the old adage of the cobbler, Stick to your last was about as good a bit of advice as one could follow to attain success. In his case, however, he substituted ship or
 line" for last" because he made up his mind to follow the steamship business as his life's work
 He was aided in making that de- cision by the natural surroundings of his youth, having spent the first twenty years of his life in the Nova Scotia seaport of Yarmouth. where he was born December l9, 1864. There he obtained his educa ton in the Var mouth Academy and afterwards be- gan the work which eventually made him one of the outstanding figures in the sh hipping business in the 1 United States.

 In spite of the fact that they are far ,outnumbered Senate and House Republicans. may present a comprez hensive legislative program of their own, and insist on debating it at length. at
 There, are strong reasons why some of the minority leaders want to follow such a course-not fully com mltting the party, perhaps, but at least making an affirmative showing from the Republican side.
 The constant Democratic com plaint has been that the opposition merely finds fault, without offering anything constructive. It is argued that the only logical reply for the Re- publicans is to introduce a group of legislative proposals and let the party in power take the responsibility of turning them down.
 These are only few of the things which raise up serious questions about predictions for an early ad- journment.
