"a VOW it's plugin heat!
M If you wake up in the morn
ing one of these Spring days
1 Y when it should be balmy but
the thermometer doesn't know it, you
can reach over. plug in the radiator
and warm your room in half an hour.
This, by means of a portable electric
radiator, as trim in appearance as a
regular radiator, although working
much like those round suns of heat
which, until recently, were the only
kind of auxiliary warming-up unit
you could buy.
The IS portable electric radiator is
ideal for use in climates or seasons
where whole heating systems are un-
necessary, or during early Spring and
late Fall, in houses equipped with
furnaces which have been allowed
to grow cold In Difference to the
calendar. Indeed, until the day when
some one takes Mark Twain's advice
and docs something" about the
weather. a portable electric radiator
Is a mighty handy thing to have
around.
It is not intended to supply any
great amount of heat, Of course. Its
purpose Is to take the chill of the
bath room or any small room when
the central heating system is not
in use. The heat is instantaneous.
Cool air is sucked in from the floor
and rises as it absorbs heat from the
electric current, so there is continuous
circulation. It's not fire hazard, for
1t carries the approval Of the Under
writers Laboratories.
The cost of running a heater like
this varies with the price of electric
current, naturally. But the manufac-
turers say that the average rate of
3 cents per kilowatt hour brings the
cost of opartion to 4 cents an hour.
We know plenty Of husbands who
would be glad to invest 4 cents to
make their wives willing to step out
Of bed on chilly morning.
hese heaters are often used in ele-
vators of apartment houses, where
there is electricity but no heat; in
service stations, hospital corridors,
and-best of all-Summer camps,
where Spring week ends become pos
sible with fireplace and portable
electric radiator.
IF YOU have a wall in your
l. house that continually discolors
on the inside after a driving rain or
a driving snowfall, you are the victim
Of an exciting but devastating process
known as "eff1orescence. We've just
been finding out all about it, and
what to do, and it seems it's cheaper
in the long run to fix the outside
than the inside of your wall.
Brick and stucco houses, which are
built with a great deal Of cement,
have certain salts in them that in
crease in bulk when drying out after
a soaking. This is called efflorescence
or "blossoming" Indeed, the increase
is to such an extent that sometimes
the salts actually crack stone or brick
work. Even if they don't do this

plan was a single mortgage arrange
ment which also permitted lending
higher per cent Of the value Of the
home.
Federal housing records for last
year forecast the types of homes and
loans that the majority Of Americans
will be seeking. The average value
Of the new one-family homes secured
by Federal housing last year was So
900. Terms for payment averaged be-
tween II and 20 years, and 70.8 per
cent Of those mortgages were written
for 76 to 80 per cent of the value of
the homes.

Of $476,260. These 81 Federal Saw

In II States, representing conditions
in all sections Of the country, and
are of medium size, averaging over
$1,000 900 in resources.
A large factor in the increasing
loan activity Of Federal Savings and
Loan Associations Is the liberal service

which they offer home-owner and
home-builder borrowers in the form
Of direct cash reduction loan plans,

interest rates. The survey shows that
