DES MONIES. Iowa. July 81.
Doctors discovered Yesterday
the foundation they hurriedly
built under the Charles Tharp
trailer Just before little Wanda
Mae Tharp was born Tuesday
WAS wasted effort.
The doctors said they recalled
an Iowa law which they believed
prohibited the birth of children
in anything but permanent build
ings.
Hastily they lacked up the
trailer and put foundation un-
der it-and just in time. But
yesterday city and State authori-
ties declared no such law existed
and birth OF q child "on wheels"
was perfectly legal.

In fact, far more horsepower
was added to the burden carried
by Potomac Electric Power Com

Cockrell's research men discov.
cred that. aside from Federal in
StallationS, horsepower amounting
to S,424 was represented in air
conditioning placed in private
buildings here during 1885 and
1885. Up to that time, the total
horsepower figure was 5,904.
The number of individual in
StallationS discloseS a greater rise.
Up to 1885 there were 140 private
structures equipped for comfort
cooling. During the next two
years 800 other installations were
made.
The statistics deal, moreover,
with true air conditioning only,
installations of equipment that
fails to cool or wash or humidity
were ignored.
Equipped Structures Vary
The types of edifices made more
habitable by controlling the in
terror atmosphere include every.
thing from bakeries to bowling
alleys. Even two churches are
included, not to speak Of banks,
linen stores, optical shops, print.
ing establishments, hospitals.
funeral parlorS, fur shops. and
libraries.
Once upon a time air condition
ing was limited principally to
theaters. The picture is different
today. While 10 Washington
theaters are equipped. the num-

was rs. Residences accounted
for SO installations, private offices
for Sc, jewelry stores for 10. drug
stores for 10, shoe stores for 81,
and haberdaSherieS for 10.
In horsepower, however, install.
lations in Government buildings
are larger than In private ones.
Prior to 1885, 81 installations rep
resenting 1852 horsepower were
made in Federal structures. In
1895 and 1886. 81 other installa-
tons were made, bringing the to-
tai horsepower to 25,114. much
more than the total Of 1929 in
private structures up to this year.

Lye Used First in
Refinishinq Floors

The first thing to be done to
wood floors that are to be re-
finished is to clean them thor
oughly with a solution of I've.
Then any ridges or rough places
should be scraped down and a
stain applied.
If the flooring is edge grained,
the stain should be combined with
a filler, and after that the wax
may be applied direct. Generally
about three coats are necessary,
as 1t IS quickly absorbed by the
wood. Shellac or floor varnish
may be used before the wax, If
desired.

PLUMBING

Like the vital organs Of the
human body. the piping and Wales
concealed behind walls and under
floors are the most important
part Of the plumbing system Of
a house, and therefore should re-
ceive the home owners closest
attention, according to the Home
Desirable Institute.
Because the hidden plumbing
has such a direct connection with
health, and when improperly in
stalled also can result in extreme
annoyance and costly repairs, only
licensed master plumbers should
be entrusted with installation, the
institute points out, explaining:
