Two hundred and some girls
that comprise the organization are
doing splendid social service and
welfare work, but they know how
20 combine serious duties with fun,
because it is primarily through
social activities that money for
charitable work is raised.
Just this week, Miss Louise Mills,
council chairman, presided at the
installation of the eight newly
elected presidents Of the chapters,
conducted at a meeting in the
Raleigh Hotel, and also at this
time q comprehensive program for
the winter activities was pre-
Sented.
Dance Is Slated
First on their list is a Halloween
dance on Friday, october 80, at
the National Women's Country
Club. Thanksgiving will be cele-
brated by the chapters with a
series of social events. Then, with
Christmas coming, arrangements
will be made to supply needy
families with baskets Of food,
clothing and toys for the young
SterS.
Also, the girls donate money to
Children's Hospital to take care
of the cost of tonsil operations for
children unable to pay. There are
still other worthwhile activities in
which these girls are only too
anxious to take part.
Plans are being made to cele-
brate the Sorority'S nineteenth
anniversary with a banquet and
dance at the Shoreham Hotel on
February II. It was founded here
in 1918 and now there are Is other
chapters besides those in this city.

kept there by the rooms occupant.
One such room was created in
a city home. It was small in size,
but two large windows made it a
cheerful place. A mirrored panel
was placed between the two win
dowS, to give an illusion of space.
The walls were painted a soft
gray.
A modern wood in deep browns
was used to build in bookcases

shelves were closed and provided
storage space for untidy papers.
The ceiling was painted lighter
shade Of gray.
Plain furnishings included a
desk and card table and chairs Of
a wood that matched the book
cases. An easy chair Of leather
and a divan were added, The floor
covering was gray, a shade deeper
than the walls.

The filters that have kept the
air in the conditioned home pure
and free from these dust particles
have a surprising amount OF dirt.
The capacity of one filter is 212
pounds on one type of conditioner.
For the home, where two filters
are used, the amount might add
to 5 pounds during the heating
season.
New Comfort
The other hazard to health that
comes in winter from ordinary
furnace heat is thirsty air. Air
that is thirsty for moisture. This
hot dry air sucks moisture from
the floors, the wood of furniture,
from the skin, the throat passages.
From health standpoint this is
undesirable. The membrane OF
the throat needs to be kept moist
in order to wage a successful bat
tie against disease microbes.
New attachments for winter air
conditioning overcome these OBJ
stacles. They add the needed
moisture, filter out the impurities
and fleckS of dust, keep the air in
constant circulation so there can
be no stale" air. This brings to
homes a new luxury and comfort.
Architects and builders here in
the District have been quick to
see its value and have provided
1t in the new homes going up.
But such healthy air is not for
new homes only. If you have
good heating plant but have
chosen the radiator system don't
be discouraged. There is
system of air conditioning that is
meant for you. It is on the mar
ket here in Washington.
It allows the heating system to
continue it's efficient work but
hanging from the basement cell
ing is the air conditioner that
does all the things winter air con-
ditioning is supposed to do. They
work on separate system.
The house can be heated with
out air conditioning or the air can
be conditioned without heating.
This is simple. In summer, the
air can be circulated and filtered
not humidified-to add a de-
gree Of summer comfort.
This is all done with a min
1mum of duct work, the inStalla-
ton Of which in old homes has
