~ AS is being used more and
4 more extensively in the mod
ern home for all kinds of
~ heating problems, and If you
look around your own residence you
will more than likely find numerous
places where it will fill a long felt
need.
In addition to the more obvious uses
for gas, such as house heating, cooking
and in some places lighting, you will
find that it is convenient and mex
pensive fuel for other things
We saw a new laundry dryer the
other day which we should imagine
will help hundreds OF housewives to
free themselves of a large amount Of
labor on staggering wash days. This
dryer Is quite compact in form, being
only "a inches deep, 81 inches wide
and 68 inches high. 1t can be located
either in the basement or, if you have
a large kitchen, upstairs. and because
OF its attractive finish and decoration
it takes its place beside the new re-
frieerator or electric stove without
suffering from such a direct COM
parison.
The outside of the dryer is finished
a smart gray with chromium plated
trim, and is made of sturdy metal
throughout, so that large amount Of
hard usage by ill-tempered wash
women will not break it down in q
hurry. Inside the dryer you are
greeted by an array of IL chromium
plated rods. on which the clothes are

matter 1t would be to use a dryer OF
this sort in connection with wash
ing machine. The whole process would
be pretty much OF a cinch compared
to washing clothes by hand, Juggling
them outside to hang them where they
might collect SCOT and CRIME from
your neighbor's furnace.
II you have rooms in remote parts
OF your house or apartment which
you have trouble heating it is an easy
matter to run gas pipe down to
the ailing spot and have heat in short
order.
One thing is important however:
Don't try to run gas pipes around your
house yourself. Even though you think
you are an accomplished gas filter by
now because of your success with other
piping jobs, don't try to play with
gas. 1t is an extremely difficult and
tricky fuel with which to experiment,
and the chances are that you will
have an explosion or possibly an
asphyxiation if the pipes aren't put
in properly. And. needless to say,
don't ever use rubber hose for con-
nections to heaters or other appli-
ances. Thousands of accidents have
proved that this kind Of installation
is most deadly.

that they give large amount Of heat
at low cost. These heaters are par
ticularly efficient because they not
only radiate heat from the e'gas flame
itself, but also heat up the porcelain
material, which in turn throws heat
out into the room. BY redesignine

of the heaters have been considerably
improved over their predecessors.

RULE STIMULATES
. HOMES FINANCING
Banks Allowed More Mort
gage Leeway by Reserve
System.

Federal Housing Administration
officials predicted today that bank
financing OF residential construction
will be stimulated by the recent re-
vision in regulations of the Federal
Reserve System to allow member banks
to use certain types Of residential
mortgages for collateral In obtaining
loans from regional Federal reserve
banks.
While liquidity is assured for all
types Of residential mortgages con-
forming to minimum standards set up
in an appendix to the regulation, 1t Is
pointed out that the Federal Housing
Administration insured mortgages are
specifically placed among the types
OF collateral having first call on ad-
vances Of reserve banks to member
institutions. This should result in
increased use Of the Insured Mortgage
System.
Acceptable Collateral.
Another factor favoring expansion
OF the insurance of residential mort
cages is the comparatively less favor
able terms suggested for uninsured
mortgages acceptable as collateral for
advances While insured loans of 20
year maturity, for 80 per cent OF the
appraised value Of the property, are
acceptable, uninsured loans are limited
to so per cent Of the valuation for q
flve-year maturity when unamortized,
and so per cent, 10-year maturity
when amortized.
While the larger part of the new
construction mortgages insured by
the Federal Housing Administration
has been handled by banks, many
institutions have hesitated to make
long term insured mortgage loans until
the liquidity Of their investments was
established" an administration spokes-
man said
Preferred Collateral.
THE revised regulation issued by
the board of governors OF the Federal
Reserve System not only establishes the
liquidity Of insured mortgages, but
makes them preferred type Of
collateral for member banks desiring to
keep their investment portfolios In a
liquid condition.
1T, appears certain that the new
rulings not only will increase home
mortgage leading OF members OF the
Federal Reserve System, but will make
it desirable. both for the borrower and
the lender, for larger proportion OF
new construction loans to be made
under the terms Of the Federal Housing
Administrators Insured Mortgage
System"

PREPARING TREES
FOR WINTER URGED
Watering and Mu|ching Fits
Them for Severe Cold,
Expert Reveals.

It is time for the property owner
to plan the preparation of his trees
for Winter, warns Paul Davey, we'll
known tree expert. He states that
the watering, feeding and mulching
which should be done in the late Fall
months will operate not Only to pro-
tect the tree during the Winter, but
to greatly accelerate its growth in the
early Spring, Davey continues:
"City and suburban property own.
ors may wonder why they should be
advised to take definite steps to pre-
pare their trees for the Winter when
the trees in the forest seem to get
along all right without anybody to
look after them. If they will stop to
think. however. they will realize that
the things home owner does for his
trees in the Fall no more than replace
forest conditions and make up for
the handicaps under which every tree
on developed property labors.
Soaking Advisable.
Ut is well to thoroughly soak the
ground around each tree several times
in the late Fall. That is to replace
the ground water which has been eX-
hausted by the demands of so many
growing things. When the ground
freezes the soil around the roots will
be denied moisture from Winter rains
or thaws as effectually as though a
tin roof had been erected over the root
area.
1T Is especially important to see
that all evergreens have plenty of
water, because they hold their leaves
through the Winter and evaporate
moisture on every warm and sunny
day. Filling the subsoil with all the
water it will hold may mean the differ
ence between life and death for some
1avorite evergreen.
Fall feeding is for Spring growth.
Tree foods are slow acting and there
is no danger of inducing Fall growth
which the frost might injure. A tree
food should contain both slowly avail
able and quickly available nitrogen.
Mixtures containing cottonseed meal,
drled blood or bone meal in addition
to mineral nitrogen have these quail
ties and may be obtained at any good
seed or supply store.
Several Mulching Materials.
"A mulch of hay, straw or peat moss
Will serve to protect the ground around
the roots from too severe freezing
Good old-fashioned stable manure is
fine mulch because it feeds the roots
as well as protects them, but on most
developed properties manure could
not be used because of its offensive
door. Under such circumstances the
oetter way is to do the feeding and
mulchlng as separate operations.
The forest tree which has no hu-
man attention has the protection of
nature against Winter. The thick
carpet of fallen leaves and forest litter
serves as a mulch to protect tree roots
against frost striking too deeply. It
also conserves the water supply. As
the leaves and litter decompose thew
furnish the food which the tree roots
must have if the tree is to thrive.
Trees on developed property are
deprived of natures help. We remove
the litter for the sake of good appear
ance and we grow grass and shrubs
and flowers which compete for the
trees food and water. If we want the
trees to prosper We must give back to
them what we have had to take away
IN our striving for appearance"

She was shocked that Walter went round with
Leon Cardulla and Margaret, to see the
Barnstable girl in her dressing room. during
the intemission. They came back very elated.
Zoe has party at Francani's. She's bring
ing along one or two others, and we're to join
her. Cabaret, supper. and dancing 80"
Elspeth nodded amiably. 1t did not concern
her. Neither she nor Walter cared about
dancing, and after the theater, they liked to
go home. Besides, she insisted on one of the
maids sitting up till they returned. Walter
was apt to get annoyed about this. He said it
was quite unnecessary. Elspeth did not agree,
so that was the end of it. When the play was
over, she slipped her hand through Walters
arm.
LET s make dash forit, and find MacIntyre
before the rush comes. I've said goodby to
Leon and Margaret for both of u.s."
He looked at her in queer way, as if she
were stranger.
We're going on to Francani's," he said.
Don't be silly, DEAR It's far too late.
Winnie is sitting up for us. Besides, you know
you don't like 80.
Were going to Francanis," he repeated.
For once I'm going to do as please"
Nonsense, Walter, want to get home. To
the children"
He stared at her for a second, still with
that queer blank look. Then 60 home to the

She was angry. Walter practically never

THAT" said Elspeth, with
pride, ''is going to be my new
winter evening hock. l shall
have it made up in time for
your Christmas party!"
'Elspeth," said Margaret,
urgently. speaking in a funny
hurried fashion that was un-
like her usual nonchalant
way. "Let me give you a fock
for the Christmas party. A
black frock, with a full skirt,
and a gold sash. l saw it in a
shop Ind l thought at once
how sweet you'd look in it.
And gold shoes. And we'll go
to Eugenie'sand fix your hair"
Elspeth stared at her, in
dumb amazement.
my dear Margaret, what
are you talking about. Why
on earth should you give me a
hock! l never heard of any,
thing quite 50 preposterous.
Outraged pride turned

thwarted her. Usually he fell in calmly with
any plan she liked to make, not caring. She
knew he never expected her to take him at
his word and go. She would teach him lesson,
and leave him. Instead of driving home COM
fortably in his own limousine, he would be
crowded in with the Gardullas. They always
went around with eight people in a five scatter.
Tomorrow, Walter would have a bad head,
and be sorry.
She left him and drove home alone, smiling
to herself in the darkness, at the thought of
how surprised Walter would be when he found
her really gone.
She was asleep when he returned and did
not hear him come in. Very thoughtfully, he
slept in his dressing room, so as not to disturb
her.
Mark had ear trouble next day so they
called in DR.. Barlow from No. 9. He did not
say it was, nor would he say it was not, mas
told. Elspeth took him to sleep in her room.
She had always done that, when anything was
wrong with child, and she was really anxious
about Mark.
So Walter had to remain in his dressing
room. He didn't complain, but there was
something in his manner that told her he
wasn't pleased Silly old thing. He must learn
that once you have a family you have to
make sacrifices for them. He couldn't expect
to come first all the time.

bright pink. Really, things were coming to
nice pass if Margaret was going to try and
patronize her, Elspeth Passmore, for all the
world as if she were poor down-at-heel
creature.
IF you want to dispense charity" said
Elspeth very stiff1y. hadn't you better turn
your attention elsewhere?"
Darling, I'm not trying to dispense
charity. I'm only trying in my blundering
way to help. I'm - I'm -oh don't be cross.
Forget it." And then she asked, still in that
queer half-shy fashion. And how's old
Walter? Heard from him lots?"
"Of course have" said Elspeth stif1y.
She had his things moved back to her room.
She had his bed made up as usual beside hers.

We'll, what exactly do you mean by that?"
Get you up treat, darling, to surprise
old Walter with the beauty of his own wife
when he comes back"
Elspeth laughed. Don't be silly, dear. The
days when Walter and could surprise one
another are over"
Margaret did not look at her. Margaret
played with her rings, and swung restless
foot, and said: Don't be too smew
And it's no good talking about shopping.
I've done my shopping for the year, dear.
Come upstairs and look"
A spasm crossed Margaret's pretty face,
as if she groaned in spirit She perched on the
edge of Elspeth's bed. and gingerly inspected
the little Sale Bargains, chosen heartily but
without any taste, that Elspeth held up for
her inspection.
Eyes, dear. Very NICE"
What could one say!
And this?" She laid tentative hand on a
dress length of floral chiffon, in green's and
blues, with meandering yellow splnge going
through it, which probably accounted for
what was a good piece of material, be-

being so much alone with nobody but the
children. They were, of course, darling, but it
was dull for her. and made her moody.
However, she found herself looking forward
passionately to going home. She arrived three
days before Walter, in nice time to get the
house in order for him.
She was busting about wearing an old
overall, when Margaret's car stopped at the
door and Margaret herself came in How
pretty she was, Margaret Gardulla. She had
a new mauve outfit on, Elspeth had not seen
before. Very simple. Just n,auve cloth bound
with mauve cloth of lighter shade. 1t would
look nice copied in brown and yellow. Elspeth
made note of it. And Margaret's bronzy
hair was Immaculate as painted cap. She
wore her fox flrs. Leon had given them to her
for her birthday.
"Elspeth," said Margaret, perching on the
arm of the sofa Come to town with me. I'm
going shopping, and I want to take you IN
hand and re-edit you. Would you mind!"
