|AirConditioning
Ice Cooled Devices Efec-
tive Only in Limited
Space.

The use of ice for cooling and air
conditioning is subject which has
long been of great interest to those en-
deavoring to obtain Summer comfort
1nexpensively.
There have been innumerable air
conditioning machines using ice put
on the market during the past few
years that no doubt would be able to
cool and dehumidify the air in small
room occupied by only few people.
II the manufacturers had made it
clearer that these machines would be
effective in only limited space, they
would possibly have been much more
successful, but on the contrary they
were offered as cure for all condi-
tions.
In order to make them compact and
easily salable the ice carrying capacity
was cut down to minimum. In fact,
the average machine of that type
would hold only enough ice to ef-
fectively cool very small room for an
exceedingly short period of time with
out re-icing. The water from the
melted ice had to be removed from
time to time, and the muss and bother
of carrying ice to the machine before
it was placed in operation served to
make it too inconvenient for the small
amount of comfort gained.
Many Black Eyes Received.
AS a result of the numerous black
eyes received by manufacturers at
tempting to sell machines of this sort,
the available equipment has been cut
down to relatively few devices which
will do an efficient job. They are of
necessity rather bulky in order to hold
enough ice to condition a fair sized
space. The room air is drawn in to
these machines by an electric blower
or fan and either forced over the ice
as 1t stands on rack, or blown
through a fine spray of cold water
pumped from the melting ice, thereby
being cooled and having excess
moisture removed by condensation.
There are many variations of these
principles but they all produce about
the same results.
It is possible, however, to use ice eff
ificiently in certain places and the
home owner can very easily install a
system that will give him perfect sat-
1sfaction.
If the house is already equipped
with modern Winter air conditioning
plant Of the forced air type it is a very
simple matter to add the ice cooling
equipment. If the house is equipped
with an old-fashioned, gravity type,
hot air heating system it is only
slightly more difficult than with the
more up-to-date plant.

WHY TOWNS GRnM

Towns grow for the same reason
that children grow because some.
body feeds them. If you give a Kid
only half enough to eat. don't ex-
pect him to grow. Similarly with
towns.
Towns need to be fed with money
spent at home, with a public spirit
that makes people work for the good
o: the community. with a self resDect
that leads people to make the town
pretty and attractive. The food on
which towns thrive is effort. A town
made up of indolent and Indifferent
people will not grow. But if there
are active people pushing their busi-
ness all the time. doing the best they
can in their jobs, and improving the
appearance. of the community, that
town will thrive on its diet of ener-
gy and enthusiasm.

TME MACHINE AID THE MAN

AS one visits a display of the new
automobiles, the thought comes tc
the mind that here is a development
of mechanical ingenuity that is al.
most miracle. The man who 50
years ago had ventured to predict
that horseless vehicles would be
brought to such a point of perfec-
tion, would have been considered a
mere dreamer.
The modern automobile provides n
marvellous adjustment of devices pro-
viding comfort speed, and safety.
But it is the tragedy of our civiliza-
tion that this perfect machine often
comes into the hands of faulty
brains. You may give such a driver
the very best automobile in the
world, and in a week he may run #
into tree, and smash it beyond rec
ognition. Or he may NOV dawn
some helpless pedestrian, and de-
Drive a family of its breadwinner.
You can bring mechanical devices
to the highest perfection. but they
often come into the hands of heed |
less. arrogant. and Selfish peoDle |
Giving a man such a wonderful ma
Chine is like some fortune inherited
by dissiDated and worthless man.
That money was capable of perform
ing fine acts of beneficence, and pro-
ducing happiness and comfort among
respondent people But as it is used.
i leaves suffering and vice behind
So our people have accomplished
in their perfection of scien-
Liiic and mechanical devices. but

;al powers. The human mind is a

DEPENDENT CHILDREN

There are now 100000 children
in families which depend on emerg,
ency relief. Our civilization con.
templates that parents shall take
care of their children. but here these
millions of them have 10 look to
some form of government for their
daily bread. What will be the flu
ture of this vast army of children?
II they are not well provided for
they can do infinite harm.
1t is pitiful thing. to think of all
these millions of little ones. whose
daily bread depends upon the gem
erosity of the people. They must
not be permitted to so hungry. nor
to lack schooling. A generation that
fails to bring up healthy children,
and give them a fair amount of edu-
cation, will not prosper.

RELIEF FOR THE nnGs

Families on relief who are keep
ing good fat dogs are the subject OF
discussion in at least one state. 1t
has been ruled that the dogs can
have the scraps and left-overs, but
cant be placed on the relief lists.
Friends of old Carlo and Tige will
probably admit that these tail wag-
gers can't be relieved at the tax
payers expense, but they will hone
some way will be fixed up so that
the needy family won't lose this
consolation. Perhaps some families
could solve this problem, by buying
inexpensive soup meat freely, which
is good nourishing stuff for the fam
ily' and incidentally gives old Tige
scme juicy bones to crunch on.

COLORFTL CLOTHES FOR MEN

The men are going to want bright
er clothes. according to the Observa-
tion of the National Association of
Clothiers and Furnishers. They
think it is the natural reaction from
hard times.
In the feathered world. the male
bird has the bright cOlors. while the
female is dressed in sober hues. The
rooster in the barnyard struts and
crows, to attract attention to his
hardly glory. But in human life. the
customers are reversed, the women
dress themselves in the hues of the
rainbow. while the men act as if
they wanted to hide out of sigkt in
dull colors. The artists and design
ers would like to deck man out in
all his beauty. A century or two
ago, the men used to wear the most
gorgeous cOlors. Will they return
to these styles and ways, and again
strut around and spread their tails
like the peacock?

ZEE TAXPAYRR,S NORROKS


The time has come when the Fed
eral income taxpayer has to scratch
his head over that formidable re.
turn which Uncle Sam mails. as g
kind of New Year souvenir Of how
much the old gentleman loves him
The taxpayer shonld remember those
nice resolutions he made January 1st
about the use of cusswOrds, and
consider all he gets in return from
whatever tax he has to pay.
The Federal taxes seem burden
some to many, And yet very few
people care to leave the country that
calls on them for support and go
elsewhere. In any country that's
worth living in. the taxes are bound
to be heavy. The burdens of the
people in every civilized land. are
laid on the backs of the government,
and anybody who has any money
will have to help carry those bur
dens.
The government at Washington
faces the clamOT and contentious of
4S different states. Every locality
has its troubles. its hard pressed
and despOndent people who look TO
the government help. The govern
ment will have to spend a lot of
money to quit these demands.
The country would go bankrupt If
all these requests were granted. But
many of them must be- attended to.
Il is like your expenses in a period
of sickness. The bill looks large, (
but it is better TO pay than move to |
The cemetery.
If one has money enough to pay
an income tax. he is better off than
he man who has to stand in line at /
he public welfare office. and ask for
ls daily bread And times are
growing better with every month.
The business figures are rising, pro-
luciiOn is gaining, corporations are
esuming dividends. Uncle Sam is
.etting an awful heavy debt. But ,
e never borrowed money at such
Ow rates OF interest before. He has
een closer to the wall on various
rcyiOus occasions.

GETTING UP IN THE MORNING

The old saying has il that
He who would thrive must rise al
five,
He who has thriven may rise at
seven"
Not many folks rise at five O'Clock
now, but the young man who is
starting out as wage-earner. and
who keeps looking at the clock i'm
hopes that quitting time will soon
some. is lacking the elements of sue
cess. and will be lucky if he holds a
job very long.
The successful business peoDle
spend many supposedly leisure hours
in working out their. business prob-
lens. While their employees sleep.
they toss on their beds trying TO fig
ure out business policies. The patb
to success is up hill, and people
who want TO climb that sloDe will
have to do some real pulling.

NE PRICE 0F PR0EnEss

The American people have a great
love Of forming organizations. They
meet with a roar Of enthusiasm to
organize some club or society, and
eloquent speeches tell the great
things that movement win accom-
plish Officers are elected with a
whoop of enthusiasm. And then
everybody goes home, often with
full confidence that somebody else
will do the work.
If such an organization is going TO
live, somebody will have to spend
many hours doing useful things.
Committees must meet and plan at
tractive programs and secure CO.
operation. There must be endless
telephoning and calling and solicit
ing. Without such planning, any
movement goes to pieces. When you
think of all the good societies that
have prospered in Milford, and other
Delaware towns, it is a proof that
an enormous amount of generous
time has been given to public uses.
