SAVING EMPHASIZED

Informal Town Type of Colo

In the Federal Housing Admins
, tration's Technical Bulletin No. 4, on
principles of planning small homes,
house Z illustrates solution for
family requiring house with three
bed rooms. It Is almost a cube Tor
economy's sake, but the simple, dig
niied treatment of the exterior in
the semi formal town type Of Colonial
found in many New England and
New York towns and villages enhances
this cubic design. The low-pitched
roof. with the gable ends treated as
pediments, with simple, stock half
circle windows, is economical and
logical; it provides air space over the
second floor that can be ventilated and
wastes little cubage.
The plan provides all the space
and equipment necessary for COM
Portable living in as small an area
as possible, with the economies Of

pie framing, spans that take stock
lengths Of lumber, concentrated
plumbing, simple stairs, careful
avoidance Of unnecessary corners, both
inside and out. and regularly spaced
openings, all make the building op-
Grafton a simple one.
The use of platform construction
instead Of the customary foundation
walls and cellar, suggested in the
descriptive specifications for houses
IN the bulletin, is interesting and a
distinct departure from usual meth
DDS. Its use is made possible by
modern heating systems that operate
satisfactorily with the heating unit
on the first floor. which eliminates
the need Of cellar. or even an air
space under the fist floor This
house can be built on such plat
form or on walls with or without a
cellar.

w YHEN the great public hall
AA of Cleveland was being
Wv prepared for the Repub-
lican Convention recently,
we asked the manager if it were air
conditioned
"Oh yes" said he.
We inquired further as to how, and
when the system was installed, and
learned, as we had expected, that the
hall had a fine ventilating system
which was installed in 1922.
Now this is not what we understand
as air conditioning at all, and yet by
circulating the air it did perform one
function Of conditioning-one of the
seven functions a complete air-con-
ditioning system should perform.
When the fiery blasts of Summer
steal into his home, the average man
thinks of air conditioning. He means
air cooling when he says air condi-
tioning. Like the manager of the
Cleveland Auditorium, he is singing
out but one Of the seven functions. 1t
is small wonder the public has become
confused about this latest scientific
marvel for homes. The market has
been flooded with all types Of air
treaters, each of which calls itself
an air-conditioner!
II you are hot, and want to cool
your air, you want the most expensive
type of air-conditioning system. Air
cooling is the last luxury Of air condi-
tioning, requiring special coils, COM
pressors and a refrigerant, to say moth
ing of ducts. To air cool a whole
house requires a whole system
especially designed for the cube foot
age of your house and costing even
more than your heating system Then
there are room units that air cool
one room only and cost around S400
apiece. 4 great many of these must
be connected with running water,
which is the cooling agent, while others
operate like automatic refrigerators,
using chemical refrigerants.
In addition to cooling, these Sum
mer conditioners all squeeze moisture
out Of the air as well as clean it. For
dry air is really cooler than damp
air. So If you are contemplating buy
ing Summer conditioner you should
know whether you are getting all four

"HOW do you wash easement win
dowS?"
This is a query We hear all the time.
The popularity of windows which open
like doors rather than lift in the ira
ditional fashion of double-hung win
dows is unquestioned But they are
hard to wash on the outside because,
of course, you can't sit on the sill as
you do with other windows.
We recommend extension hinges for
wood easement windows to solve that
washing problem. You can put them
on your old windows or buy new ones
already hinged with this corner-rein-
inforcing hardware that pushes the
swinging part of the window far out
enough out to admit your hand and
arm through the opening. All you do
is reach through and scrub.
An added advantage Of this hinge is
that projecting the sash away from the
frame gives extra ventilation space
too. In hot weather every vestige of
breeze is valuable. Sometimes case
ment windows, open. block up the
direction from which the breeze is
coming. The extra opening gives what
is known as DETECTED ventilation.

CANADIAN POULTRY

CANADIAN POULTRY raisers are
preparing to flood the American mar
ket with live chickens, ducks, geese,
turkeys and guinea hens on time for
the winter holiday trade.
The projected dumping is due to
the so per cent cut in tariff rates on
live poultry granted Canadians in the
Roosevelt New Deal party's recipro-
cal trade agreements with the Do
minion government, Chicago dealers
declare.
Responsibility for this situation,
which will affect the hopes of mil
lions of farm housewives for a lit
tie Christmas pin money, is placed
squarely upon President Roosevelt
and his. broken promises by the Re-
publican National Committee.
The Canadian trade pact lowered
the duty on live poultry from eight
to four cents and on dressed chick
ems and guinea hens from ten to six
cents per pound.
Commission men expect to see the
big assault on our poultry market
start in earnest just after election
day, reach its maximum at Christmas
and ebb off gradually through Feb
ruary.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that disasters like this are due to

Milford, Friday, October %, 1885

THAT THE VOTERS in Delaware
are aroused is evidenced by the great
increase in the number of registered
voters. For the State as a whole the
increase in registration amounts to
approximately twelve per cent. When
the issues involved are so arousing
that one eighth more men and wom-
en- than have ever registered go to
the registration places and qualify
to vote there is public interest.
Party leaders of all groups attribute
the increased registration to a de-
sire to assist their particular party.
This may be true-but in the past
the increased interest means a pro-
test vote. We wonder. Are Della
wareans about to cast an overwhelm-
ing vote against the New Deal? We
believe so.

IT is GRATIFYING to learn that
the finances of Delaware are in such
excellent condition that our Cover
nor believes it is now possible to re-
store all pay cuts made during the
height of the depression a few years
ago. While one-half of these cuts
were restored two years ago at the
last session of the General Assembly,
all persons who were subjected to
cuts will be restored to full pay if
the recommendations of the Governor
are followed. The budget commits
sion, which is now holding hearings
at which the heads of all depart
ments securing State funds must
make application for revenues for
the next BRENNAN, has incorporated
the restoration of the pay cuts in
the budget to be presented to the
Legislature when it meets in Jan
uary. The candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket have pledged themselves
to favor this restoration of pay. By
taking the action the Budget Com
mission has removed this issue from
the campaign. for all parties are
pledged to do the same thing.

NEW DEALERS ARE having a
care-free time juggling federal fig
ures, as the time approaches for
chickens to come home to rOost.
The President himself has fallen
into that easy error upon more than
one occasion during the present cam
paign, but that is natural where the
government has two sets of books
for running its business. If a cor
poration did that. any utility COM
mission in the country would stop
the practice so quickly that you'd be
reminded of creased lightning. Why?
Because such a system isn't cOndu-
Give to honest accounting. And that
goes whether it is done by business
or the government.
At Pittsburgh Mr.. Roosevelt. in
attempting to make good" finan-
cial showing, attempted to point out
that the soldier bonus payments now
are out of the way. The fact is. as
Gov. ALT M. Landon corrected Mr..
Roosevelt, that a large part of these
payments were made in bonds and
those bonds will have to be paid just
as certainly as the deferred bonus
payments would have to be paid.
That is, they will have to be paid
unless Mr.. Roosevelt has some plan,
in the event of his election. to wipe
out the debt. That is what might |
happen under imitation. Many cor
Dorations are preparing for imitation;
they will be ready when and if it
comes. The little fellow, however,
will have only one hedge; that is to
vote into power an administration
which will not permit imitation to de-
relop by stopping our present grass

NEWSPAPER REPORTS of

NEWSPAPER REPORTS of a
Democratic meeting last week quoted
Richard c. McMullen, Democratic
candidate for Governor as having
said among other things that if elect
ed he would organize a Bureau of
Markets to assist the farmers of the
State. We wonder whether Candi-
date McMullen did not know that one
of the most efficiently managed di-
visions of our State government at
d the present time is the Bureau of
Markets-Or was the statement made
with the idea of catching a part of
the farmer vote who are not familiar
with the workings of the several
State departments? Whatever the
reason for the statement-and we
choose to take it that Mr.. McMullen
is not familiar with the present set
up and efficient Bureau of Markets
organization in Dover-it is right
that he should at least make public
acknowledgment of the fact that
Delaware has a worthwhile depart
ment working in the interest of all
farmers. For years past this group
of State employees has done a won
derful work in assisting the fruit
growers, the poultry industry, the
dairy interests, the berry, melon, and
other agricultural groups. It is un-
fair that such group of employees
should be subjected at least Indirect
ly to criticism which is not justified.
The incident is just another indi-
cation that the Democrats do not
know the functioning of the State
Government and that the manage
ment of Delaware affairs will be bet
ter handled by the Republican party,
who after years of experience, know
what is needed to assist all Della

AS THE TIME for the General
Elections approaches it is necessary
to caution Republicans to use care
in voting on November 3rd. With
two parties bearing the Republican
label it is well that attention be
called to the importance Of proper
voting. There are two sets of Presi-
Dental electors on the ballots, both
of whom are for Landon and Knox.
This in itself is confusing to the
average voter. The regular Republi-
can party candidates will be found
under the emblem of an eagle. The
place on the ballot is the second
column Immediately following the
Democratic party candidates who oc-
cupy the first column. This position
on the ballot is assigned to the two
parties by law and cannot be
changed. The electors printed in the
second column are those who were
chosen at the regular constituted
convention of the Republican party
in Delaware. If Landon and Knox
are to carry Delaware they are the |
electors who must be voted. To vote |
any other set of electors is a vote |
either directly or indirectly for
Don't be mislead by any
)ther statements about electors.
So far as the State ticket is con-
,erned the candidates from Governor
lown, have pledged themselves to
n efficient, economical administra-
ion such as has been the blessing of
Delaware during the past thirty-five
ears. Harry L. Cannon, candidate
or Governor, is a business man of
roven ability. While never active
n politics he has the background
yhich will assure a fine administra-
ion when elected. He knows the
eeds of agriculture, he is in sym
athy with the farmer in his desire
, reap rewards from the soil, he is
lmiliar with finance, and as he goes
mong the people of Delaware dur
lg the campaign he makes a good
