AIR CONDITIONING
"CABINET" READY
Requires No Special Installation
Connects With Light
Switch.

A 1896 model unit air conditioner
which will cool, dehumidify, ventilate
and filter the air in an average sized
room without requiring any special
installation, such as plumbing or
electrical work. is announced by the
General Electric Co.
In its solid wood cabinet, this unit
harmonizes with any decorative
scheme. The walnut casing is modern
in design, but so conservative that 1t
will not conflict with conventional
styles of furnishings.
Instead of utilizing one large re-
frigeration machine to do the cool
ing, which might result in objec-
tionable noise in quiet bedroom, the
air conditioner is equipped with the
smaller, hermitically sealed units
which are extremely quiet in operation.
These units are started automatically
one after the other so as to avoid an
overload on the ordinary lighting
circuit. The system makes it pos
sible to plug the machine in any light
socket without special wiring of any
sort

The kitchens in new houses are
nearly all things Of beauty and the
last word In convenience these days.
II you happen to be like so many Of
us who enjoy cruising about to look at
new houses, knowing sfull well that
you will have to retNrn to your old
diggings and like them for an indefi-
mite time to come, it is probably a
great letdown when you have to troop
out into your old kitchen.
You can do q wonderful Job Of
making yourself happy again If you
go ahead and Ak up the old place
with Q new stove, either gas or elec-
trio, 0 shiny new sink complete with
either monel metal or porcelain drain
boards, and q mechanical refrigerator
II you haven't already bought one.
For those Of you who want to put
in the last word In new kitchen equip
ment, don't miss seeing the new unit
kitchens which have recently been an
nounced. They are gorgeous things
and would make the kitchens Of many
houses by far the best-looking rooms
in the structures. They are styled in
the modern manner and may be in
stalled as package device or pur-
chased on the piece-by- piece plan.
Including an electric range, electric
dishwasher, kitchen cabinets and elec-
trio refrigerator in the line, these
kitchen units are the perfect answer
to housewives prayer for work-sav-
ing equipment. Due to their unit
construction, which enables the va
rious pieces to be arranged in any
desired way, you are sure of getting
the maximum amount of efficiency
from the layout which can be ar
ranged In your particular kitchen.
The kitchen units are of all-steel
construction, with not a single piece
OF wood used anywhere, and the cabi-
nets feature movable shelves which
aren't often seen in that type of con-
struction. The fact that the various
items are really integral units make it
extremely easy to install them, and
also makes it possible TO put the
various pieces when and where you
want to.
or course they have built-in light
ing equipment which will prove to be
boon to kitchen enthusiasts on
dark. rainy days when you can't see
the cook book, and the CHEEKY illum-
ination brightens up the whole place.
The various work surfaces, as they
call the drain boards and other rom
venient places. are all of black porce-
lain on steel SO that they are resilient.
In other words. they can't be cracked
by the blow of dropping something
pretty heavy on them. and are nice
and light so that they can be installed
with a minimum of labor.
The dish washer which is being used
IN these units is Of new-type 'front.'

Appearance and Protection.

Historically, paint has two func-
tions-one protection and the other
appearance. Which was the. first
thought in its development is un-
known. but the famed use of war paint
seems to point to the prior claim Of
appearance.

Paint Reduces Condensation.

Metal pipes carrying cold water in
rooms that are warm, often show
beads of water upon the surface, due
to condensation of the moisture in the
air. The collected drops OF water may
fall upon valuable objects in room
and damage them. If such pipes are
coated with three or four coats Of
paint, condensation can be reduced
to a marked extent.

of the homes financed by this group
of local lending institutions are not
even counted in the standard statistics
on construction because of their loca-
ton in the smaller towns or because
they are built by the small type OF
contractor who puts up only three or
four houses a year, even in times of
normal business.
Increasing in Demand.
Meanwhile, the associations loans
are increasing in demand in the larger
centers and by the larger contracting
establishments. The local nature of
their operations makes it possible for
their advances to be consummated
without delay or red tape, and the
home buyer or builder of today finds
this readiness with which loan can
be granted one of the most encourag-
ing indications that normal times are
returning. 1t has its influence in con-
firming his impression that now is the

Old Jupe Pluvius played havoc
with the Georgetown football team
again and for the second con-
secutive year the opening days
drill was marred by rain. After
the squad had been outfitted in
the morning, a brief meeting was
held in which Head Coach Jack
Hagerty outlined the plans for
the coming season. New and old
plays were given the squad.
In the afternoon Hagerty herded
his squad to the wide open spaces
of the Hilltop practice field, but
shortly after the Hoyas had started
a calisthentics drill, hard down
pour sent the candidates scurrying
to the Ryan Gymnasium for
shelter.
Light Workouts
The remainder of the week Is
to be spent in only light workouts,
in which calisthenicS, signal, pass
ing and punting drills will be-
stressed. commencing Monday the
Hoyas will don heavy uniforms and
begin hard contact work. Hagerty
hopes his squad will be m shape
for a scrimmage on Wednesday.
.Hagerty contemplateS making
only a few changes in the posi-
lions of the members of his team.
Hank Gibbins, who has been listed
as a halfback, is to be shifted to
the fullback position. Weighing
181 pounds and standing 6 feet /
inch, Gibbins has shown promise
of being able to take Joe Meglen'S
position in backing up the line.
Hard.Driving Back
He is a hard-driving back and
his kicking ability makes him a
valuable asset in the backfield.
His chief competition for the
fullback berth will come from
Frank Meglen and Bill Duff, the
dark horse of the lot and one
of the Singers Midgets."
John Cavadine, regular end on
last years varsity eleven, re-
ported for practice today. Cava-
dine broke his ankle in a base

be lost for the season. However,
the injured member has healed

able for the opener against Della

COncealS His Pitches
Pete Appleton developed that
now famous "gloved hand" wind
up. He takes the bali over his
head in his glove, clutches it and
lets go. 1t is very hard to detect
beforehand what IS to he thrown.
Still, Mr.. Baker got some warning
to the Tigers. The trouble was
that Appleton had enough stuff
on the ball to get it past them,
regardless of all outside aid.
In the first three innings the
Bang-alls made right free with
Appleton's stuff, getting to him
for five hits and one run. But
after the third frame they made
only one hit. During the last
four innings they sent IL men
to the bat, and those II took
their cuts and went right back to
the bench, or toddled out to the
defensive positions assigned to
them.
1t was very embarrassing to
all of the Tigers, and especially
to Mr.. Del Baker. His face was
absolutely crimson at the end.
Tommy Bridges pitched seven
great innings after the first. In
that opening frame the Griffs got
three runs on three hits.
