Wife Awaits Return
Of Byrd Aide
Byrd Explorers Start for

Byrd Explorers Start for
Home"
To wives, sweethearts and sis
ters of members of the Byrd Ex-
pedition that line in The Times
Wednesday meant they would see
their loved ones after 18 long
months. And to Mrs. Irene
HaineS, an employe of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau. 1t meant
seeing again the man she married
10 months before he sailed for
Little America.
Mrs. Haines, a shy young
woman with quiet blue eyes and
soft light brown hair, appeared
surprised when informed The
Times wanted a story about her
meteorologist husband who was
returning from his third trip to
the Antarctic.
Asked if she wasn't excited and
thrilled she blushed and admitted
shyly she was.
She and Mr.. Haines have COM
municated with each other every
10 days by radiogram, she said.
At their home in Chevy Chase
every Wednesday night she lis
tens to the radio because Bill
broadcastS the weather reports. :"
She wasn't lonely, she insisted,
because she had her work at the
office and her own home. But
after the broadcast is over she
watches the flames leaping in the
fireplace and thinks how nice it
will be to have Bill back again.

Training in Use of Material
Vital, Says Architect-Writer

"Just as the tile floor must be prop
erly laid over the correct base, many
new synthetic materials will need to
be attached to the proper backgrounds
or bases. The foundation is quite
often more important than the sur
face. A surface is more easily re-
paired or replaced than that which Is
underneath.
THE present potential market for
materials and equipments from which
houses viii be fashioned is tremen-
dous. 1t is an inviting market for
manufacturers that formerly did not
produce building materials. For this
reason we find new products on the
market. In themselves these new
building materials are quite generally
okay. but the problem arises in their
use with other materials, either new
or old. 1t is the method of applica-
ton and to what the application is
made. that determines the success or
failure of the new material in each
house where it is placed"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-08-03

Showing that the application Of O
new building material is more impor-
tant than selection of the material
itself, ]. Harold Hawkins, Philadelphia
architectural writer, warns against
possible costly mistakes arising from
the unfamiliarity Of building trades
workers with methods of laying new
materials now appearing on the
market.
The article appears in the July is
sue of the Residential Appraisers Re-
view, of the press this past week, the
fourth issue of its kind to be pub
lished by the Society of Residential
Appraisers.
Education will be necessary and it
is often difficult to instruct men who
have been set in their ways for some
time" Mr.. Hawkins writes. Close su-
pervision of the application of many
new building materials will be neces-
sary if successful life Is to be expected
of them.

Acknowledging
Inventors Striving for New
inexpensive Device for
Small Homes.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

what will be the future of air
conditioning?" Many people have
asked this question after they have
heard Of the hundreds of installations
which are supplying stores, houses,
restaurants and other places with
manufactured climate.
One merely has TO consider the fact
that only half the homes in the coun-
try are blessed with any kind of
central heat at ell AS only a small
percentage Of those plants are auto
matically fired, the potential field Is
obviously tremendous.
There are numerous machines on
the market that will do a partial Job
OF heating. filtering, humidifying and
air circulating. But the difficult
functions Of cooling and dehumidify-
ing are still beyond the reach Of the
average owner Of small home.
Investors are striving to give the
public an inexpensive device that will
enable the owner of the most modest
home to enjoy comfort cooling as
well as automatic Winter heat.
The equipment now available will
no doubt be simplified and cheapened
in many ways. but in addition to
these more or less orthodox methods,
numerous other ideas for obtaining
the same results are being developed.
Foremost among the heating de-
velopments Is the use Of electricity.
In place Of radiators in each room
connected with pipes to boiler in
the basement, it will merely be neces-
sary TO run electric wires to electric
heating units. Individual room ther-
mostats will maintain desired temper
atures.
OF course, it will be some time be-
fore electric rates will be low enough
to permit economical operation, but
even now large numbers of homes are
being heated in this manner in towns
adjacent to power dam projects.
In order to take advantage of low
might rates" for electricity, number
Of installations have been made
whereby large storage tank Of water,
located in the house basement, is
heated with electric immersion heat
ers. Astime clock turns the current
on and of. Water thus heated is
then circulated as in an ordinary
radiator system.

FRANCE BUILDING
ARMY OF CITIZENS
New Law Sets Up Elaborate
Defense System for Quick
Mobilization.

PARIS @.-France is building UP
a gigantic army Of defense" In which
citizens may enlist during time of
peace for automatic mobilization with
the declaration Of war.
President Lebrun has signed a law
putting teeth into the plan. Under 1t
any Frenchman-or Frenchwoman-
may sign UP for service in q passive
defense army automatically placed
under the command Of the minister OF
war for duration of the war"
Minors must have permission OF
their parents before they sign UP.
Wives must get permission of their
husbands. The aim of the government
is to get every Frenchman Of any pos
sible use to his country enlisted In
advance in the army of defense"
Carpenters will be put to work with
laborers and bricklayers strengthening
cellars and special shelters for protec-
ton Of the population during air raids.
Doctors will be assigned to their sta
lions for first aid. Cycnsts-and al
most every young man in France is a
cyclist-will be used as messengers
between defense zones. Girls will be
rushed to first-aid centers to augment
the trained nurses.
Eventually it is hoped to train each
volunteer defender" in his or her
part SO that raids Of enemy planes over
any French town would find modified
citizens ready for them in addition to
regular army defense units.
The law signed by the president has
no clause forcing citizens to enlist
But the Frenchman is a natural
Joiner" and that characteristic, COM
bined with patriotism, will be enough,
the government hopes. to fill up the
ranks Of the nations army Of
defense"

FINNAN ANSWERS CRITICS
Denies Use of C. C. C. Men Is
Keeping Others Out of Jobs.

c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
OF the National Capital Parks, today
met criticism that Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps men are being used on the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway and
keeping persons in the neighborhood
out Of jobs by declaring that all the
vacancies for which he has money
have been filled. He insisted he has
not reduced the number of civilian
employees, because Of the triple C
program.
The Civilian Conservation Corps
men are engaged in doing landscap-
ing work and certain maintenance on
that, Finnan said, but he contended
that regular maintenance, such as
keeping up guard rails, grass cutting,
repairing the pavements and like Jobs
are done by the regular workmen.
