WINTER WINDOWS
CUT FUEL COSTS
Double Glass Proves Aid in
Summer Months Also,
Tests Show.

The increasing use Of double glaz-
ing or "Winter windows" to reduce
fuel costs to houses and other struc-
lures, brings to light new develop
ment by fiat-glass technicians that
should be Of particular interest as
the annual coal-scuttle symphony
tunes UP for its Winter-long broad
cast.
The trend to Winter windows not
only reduces fathers basement trips
materially. but the development Of
notwithstanding window glass en-
ables the home owner or renter to
keep Winter windows on throughout
the year, with particularly beneficial
results during the hot Summer
months.
First, perhaps. it should be ex-
planned that Winter windows, accord
ing to figures compiled by the United
States Bureau of Standards, save from
10 to is per cent of fuel costs in
houses with no other insulation, and
savings as high as 60 per cent in
houses with insulation.
During the new building and re-
modelling activities of the Summer of
1885, it was revealed that many people
obtained so-called storm windows in
keeping with the architectural lines Of
the house, eliminating the obvious
temporary effect, so that such double
glazing could become an integral part
Of the architecture for year-round use.
This is being done largely for two rea-

Sons, the trend to air-conditioning and
to the discovery that double windows
In the Summer assist greatly in keep
ing out both dust and hot waves Of
heat.
Now comes the new glass to i'm
prove the ordinary Winter windows
which so many wish to keep In place
the year round. Such glass Is Of spe-
cial chemical content which gives 1t
the ability to absorb infra red rays
Of light. About one-half of the suns
heat Is in such rays.
It is only natural therefore, that
double windows with outer panes of
the glass on the sides Of the house
most often exposed to the sun in
Summer provide Q very definite re-
duction Of heat generated in the house
by sun rays flltering through windows.
Thus the n-conducting dead air
space created by double windows not
only keep out cold air and retain tenn
peratures. at definite fuel savings, but
such windows, through the use of the
outer panes, reduce the cooling load
in Summer from to 28.5 per cent
compared to double glazings of ordi-
nary window glass.

CAPITAL FOURTH
IN HOME BUILDING
Los Angeles 0utdistances 81
Other Cities in September
Construction.

Los Angeles outdistanced 81 other
cities, including New York and De-
troit, in the volume of residential con-
struction on one and two family
dwellings for September. according to
q Federal Housing Administration
analysis of figures gathered by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Septem-
ber, the figures show, was Los Angeles
record month of the year. Its one and
two family residential construction
volume reached $2,642,756, topping
June, the previous record month, by
nearly $4,000.
New York, the consistent leader in
construction of one and two family
dwellings, was second with $2,571 ,925;
Detroit was third with $2,532,750;
Washington was fourth with $946, IT'S;
Houston, Tex, was fifth with S798, liza
and Miami was sixth with S603, SOL.
The September figures showed that
one and two family construction has
encountered no slump of any conse-
quence since last March, especially
in the leading dozen cities which have
held the consistent totals throughout
the Spring, Summer and early Fall.
Detroit's and New York's totals have
not dropped under $2,0o0,O0O in any
month and Los Angeles has been under
that mark only once since March.
Again in September, California
grouped II cities in the list each with
100000 or more of one and two
family construction: Ohio was repre-
sented by seven cities. Texas and
New York by six and Florida, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Wisconsin by five each.
Residential building, according to
the September figures, has made
some striking gains all over the coun-
try, especially in the Far West and
the South. In September, 1885, only
80 cities recorded residential con-
struction on one and two family dwell
tngs in excess Of 100000 each.
Throughout 1896 an average of 80
cities have been listed in the Bureau
Of Labor Statistics monthly report of
cities having 100000 or more of resi-
dental building on one and two fam
lily dwelling.

that your boiler has sufficient capac-

This concentration Of equipment will

Of convection together with q small

lation Of air around the radiators.
There are many other ways In which
you may attain a greater degree of

tives they will gladly help you work

Black Floors Recommended.

Black painted or stained floors are
IN vogue for well-lighted rooms, says
Basil Ionides, in his book Color in
Everyday Rooms" Such q stained
floor should be very dark, almost
black. and be finished with o glossy
polish or varnish. The principal color
OF the room, If incorporated in the
black paint-making it q red-black
or blue-black-will help the floor to

Paint Barns Inside, Too.

Paint on the inside, as well as tie
outside of dairies, barns and chicken
houses will be found helpful as an
insecticide. Its use for such purposes
will probably save many dollars worth
of grain or poultry often damaged or
carried away by insects. White paint
has been found best as such pro-
tective measure.

FACTORS OF CLIMATE

Best for Human.

Best for Human.
Climate, whether outdoors or in
doors, has four vital factors-temper-
ature, humidity, circulation and
purity. Nature mixes the four up in
a thoroughly temperamental style
Man nowadays controls them all four,
within his dwellings. to suit his
health and comfort.
The human physiology thrives best
in q temperature between go and 10.
q humidity between 40 and So. with
gentle but sure circulation Of good
clean air. Discomfort. the General
Electric Air Conditioning Institute re-
minds one, is not always due to the
much-abused humidity; it is the un-
conditioned combination Of all four
factors that makes Summers tough to
bear.

Wis, leading New Deal foe and
former Democratic presidential
nominee, charged Monday in argu-
ments before the federal fourth

urged that U. S. district court in
Baltimore be upheld in ruling the
act unconstitutional and in direct

mission as required under the util-

Thomas G. Corcoran, assistant
to the attorney general, led the
government counsel which refus-
ed to argue the question of the
acts constitutionality. Corcoran
and John J. Burns, general coun-
sci for SEC, insisted the lower
courts decision should be set
aside solely on the ground that
the district court was without
jurisdiction because American
states trustees faced no loss thru
registering with SEC.
The case is the first of it's ma
