Troops Are EUeryUhere


THE road approaching the stadium was held
- clear by double Gordon of troops in brown
uniforms
The Olympics were of secondary Importance If
any. This the dictator's day, and it's good
thing for the Americans present that this was so,
because they have nothing important to learn from
the athletes, but much to learn about absolute
authority in government.
You must picture this town. Ten thousand
swastikas stir family in the light winter wind
along the streets.
the old German gray, soldiers of the labor corps
IN brown and special soldiers of the bodyguard in
black and silver. All the swaStika, and it's
again from the red postof1ce trucks and the
army transports, which go tearing through the
streets.
Games Are Still Young
THIS motor transport gives strange suggestion

know the Olympic ideal by heart, having heard
it many times in speeches and read it in statements
by Avery Brundage, president of the American
Athletic Union, who brought American teams over
to this armed camp and by other ideasts in the
Olympic organization.
Up to this time artillery has been seen. I take
1t that the brotherhood games of the winter Oympcs
run under the auspices of Naz craftsmanship are
only infantry action up to this writing. But they may
be saving their heavy stuff, tanks and bombers for

N. J. BANKING HEAD
 FAVORS FILA PLAN
Direct Reduction Plan Is Urged By Commissioner
 of Banking Insurance

Newark, N. J., May 6. = Ernes A. Minier, New Jersey State Deputy Commissioner of Banking and 1n- surance, has just completed @ two. year survey of the entire state building and loan structure.
 This survey has resulted in the suggestion that associations make mortgage loans to members on the direct reduction plan, according to the commissioner. Speaking of the stimulus given the mortgage loan business in the state by the Housing Administration, the commissioner writes:
 T hope that every New Jersey as- sociation will apply to become an approved mortgagce, and will quali- fy and obtain your approval.
 Aside from the safety and liquid- ity of an insured mortgage comes the advantage of having 6 satisfied borrower. That satisfaction spreads to investors, and restoration of confidence in the association is the result.
 "The insured mortgage, represent ing long-term investment money, and being an amortized mortgage similar to those who have been made by New Jersey building and loan associations for many years, properly belongs to those institu- tions which have traditionally sup- piled home financing facilities.
 Building and loan associations should take this road to recovery and shall urge and continue to en- courage them to become approved mortgages under title II of the National Housing Act"

The Coolerator refrigerator, with It's new Y1on-Inechanical air-condi- tioning chamber, is setting new standards in refrigeration.
 The Coolerator uses ice in an enc tirely new way. The ice on the grids in the air-conditioning chamber coolS the air to the proper tempera- ture for refrigeration, and this cold air then circulates to every nook and cranny of the food compart- ment. As the circulating air passes through the air-conditioning cham ber, all food odors and gases are re- moved. The air is purified also, and moistened to ideal humidity. This cold conditioned air will never rob foods of their natural juices and flavor, but will keep vegetables crisp, meats plump and juicy, and butter hard and untainted. This complete air-conditicning process takes place several times each minute.
 New Construction
 The ice chamber in this new air- conditioned refrigerator Is 50 con- structed that 1t uses the minimum amount of ice. The new construc- ton also makes 1t possible for the ice to maintain 8 steady, constant cold temperature in the food cham ber, whether the ice compartment is full, half full, or nearly empty. Frequent icing is a thing of the past with this new refrigerator. One piece of ice will last from four to six days. New pieces are quickly slid in right over the old piece, with no fuss or Inuss, feature worthy of consideration.

GREATER BUYING EXPECTED IN '36
Prices of Summer Apparel May Witness Reduction;
 Uptrend Predicted Soon

While prices on Summer apparel and accessories will be unchanged or slightly lower than last year next month will see an uptrend in quotations that should mark the bee ginning of 6 substantial price rise for the second half of the year The preliminary Fall lines of wo- mems apparel, particularly coats and furs, will reflect the uptrend but the indications are that the inc creases will affectsreorders chiefly.
 At present there is increased buy- ing of staples, but these lines do not show much stiffening, due to the unsettled conditions in the cot ton goods trade. Woolens, how ever, are very firm. Silks displayed an cratic price tendency during the Spring season, and the iinmedi- ate price outlook for Fall is not clear.
 Due to the advances in woolens and fur trimmings, coat quotations for Fall will undoubtedly be the firmest in some years. This will cover merchandise for August sales as well as later delivery. The greatest advance will undoubtedly be shown in fur garments, on which increases of from IS to 25 per cent will be common. Initial fur orders are expected to be substan- tially heavier than last year due to the desire of retailers to protect themselves against further ad- Vances.
 Merchandising executives, while anticipating no inventory specula- ton, said the tendency would be toward greater advance buying.

Household Hints

e. We want to do over our bath room. The walls are made of boards running lip and down, and we want to have tie. We are having all new fixtures put in, 50 we want 1t all modern. Is is practical, to put in tile?
 A. Yes The wood paneling can be taken down, wire lath put up, and tile erected on 1t without any diff. ficulty. If you want tile floor at will be necessary to lay a concrete base first. This means that tho joists under the floor will have to be bev- eled and cut down somewhat and Q form built between the joists to hold the concrete. If any pipes occur in this area they should be covered with piece of expanded metal lath or tin formed into a semicirclc 50 that they are not embedded in the concrete. Linoleum or some form of composition tile could be laid di- rectly over the present wood floor, If you desire.
 c. We need another living room, as our daughter has reached the age when she wants to entertain her friends without the "old folks" around. We have no cellar in our house, so could we have one built to put game room in?
 A. Yes: a cellar could be built, but if 1t is possible to add a room tc the house above ground, would 1t not be pleasantcr than sending the youngsters underground to play? Besides 1t would probably be cheaper and make less of a mess.
 c. I would like to put in an out side stairway to the cellar of my house. Can 1t be done without q great deal of expense and trouble2
 A. 1t can be done but the amount of expense and trouble will depend upon the conditions. If the walls arc of brick or block 1t vii lbe com paratively easy, to break through the necessary opening, but if 1t is poured concrete 1t may take con- siderable drilling. You had better consult some experienced contra9- tor and, If possible, an architect as well.
 @. What kind of fence would be best to put around my garden?
 A. It depends upon the purpose of the fence. If 1t is to be a real screen, wattle fence would prob- ably be the best. If 1t is purely dec- orative, a wattlc or picket or even a rail fence may be used. If you can wait for 1t to grow, hedge of some evergreen like arborvitae makes a lovely "fence".
 Q. What size should a one-car garage be?
 A. A garage 9 feet by IS feet will accommodate almost any car. The doors should be at least feet 6 inches wide and feet high. If pos sible add a few feete to either the width or depth for work space.
