'37 IDEAL HOUSE
 TO BE ALL CAS-
Model Home Opens for In= spectiOn Soon in Vest
 chester County

Connecticut gas companies are calling attention to "The Ideal House-1937" which is being erected at Fox Meadows, Scarsdale, in neighboring Westchester County, N. Y, under the sponsorship of House and Garden Magazine. The new exhibition dwelling will be of a beautiful Georgian type with three floors, and it will be an "all-gas" home. It will be one of a number of exhibition houses in Westchester County in the past two years that have been equipped to use gas for heating and air-conditioning refrig- eration, water heating and cooking.
 It is expected that the new exhi- bition dwelling will be finished and opened this month. It may be con- veniently reached by those desiring to inspect it, from the Bronx River Parkway.
 "The Ideal House-1937" will have three floors. There will be foyer, living room, library, kitchen and pantry on the first floor, while pro- vision is teing made for six bed- rooms and four baths on the floors above. A dual system will be in- stalled for gas heating and air conditioning. This system consists of winter air-conditioner and 8 steam boiler. The air-conditioner will serve the master portion of the house and the steam boiler will heat the maids quarters, the baths and the garage. These compact and att tractive air-conditioning units, along with the 75-gallon gas automatic copper water heater, will take up only a comparatively small space in the basement, so that there will be an exceptionally large recreational room there. In the kitchen of the home an 11-foot gas refrigerator will be installed and there will be gas range having six burners, two ovens and a grill.
 The house will consist of a central block with two balancing wings. It was designed so that it can be adapted to structural conditions in various parts of the country. It will be completely furnished.

Robbery Leads to Dismissal

Accused of achieving the "impos-

Treasury right under the noses of an
elaborate guard force-four veteran
woman clerks today were without thei.
jobs in the currency redemption divi-
sion.
Their system of pilfering small bills
from bales Of currency received for re-
demption and destruction worked well
but for one minor detail-and this
slight oversight spoiled q perfect
crime" and brought the Secret Serv-
ice on their trail
The system. Treasury officials ex-
planned, was to slip into their own
pockets any bills in excess of the
number listed on the bale they were
counting. Banks sometimes make mis-
takes in counting contents of the bales
of worn currency sent to the Treasury
Sometimes they send 999 dollar bills
in bundle marked 81 1000, and some-
times they send dollar or so too many
Officials grew suspicious when they
observed that the mistakes always
involved shortages-never a surplus.
Secret Service agents then began an
inquiry. They planted marked bills
in carefully counted bales, so there
would be an excess over the amount
listed officially for the bale.

Violation of Baton
Rule Costs Texans
Victory in Relay
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, April "a
North Texas Teachers Colleges
crack sprinters, after finishing
first in record-smashing time in
the final of the 880-yard relay
championship race today, were
disqualified for violating the
baton-passing rules. The ruling
automatically gave first place to
Indiana in the opening feature
race on the last half of the
Pennsylvania carnival program.
The Texans were stunned by
the setback, especially as it came
after they registered the best
performance of their careers at
the half-mile relay distance.
Elmer Brown. one of the twin
brothers on the team, got away
to a good lead on the first fur
long, but overstepped the l0-yard
zone limit before handing the
baton to A. Chrisman. The
Texans still were in command
when Capt. Stovall missed legal
connections by at least five yards
before turning over the stick to
Delmer Brown, the anchor man.
