BETH GORDON.

IF YOU have water in your cellar,
honest-to-goodness puddleS OF it..
not just suggestion of dampnesS,
L why not reclaim the lost regions
below your house and install a sump
pump to dry it out?
When actual drops Of moisture
gather in cellar, 1t means that water
is unable to flow away by natural
drainage, for one reason or another.
and nothing but drastic measures will
cure the situation. A good pump as
part of your cellar equipment can keep
the space below the stairs dry enough
for use as recreation room, workshop
or laundry-but nothing else will. No
use temporiZing.
We have found a new electric pump
which is an improvement on old
models for this purpose. 1t operates
on a principle which eliminates the
use Of float" or bulblike weight
which. say the manufacturers, is
susceptible to sticking and clogging
when it comes in contact with foreign
matter. such as particles of dirt or oil.
The new pumps motor is controlled
by two electrodes instead of the old
type float" These electrodes hang
on cords. one higher than the othe-.
on either side of the pump; when the
water reaches the higher one it COM
pletes an electrical circuit with the
other electrode that automatically
starts the motor. water being, Of
course, a conductor Of electricity.
When the water has been drained be-
low the level of the lower electrode the
motor dies.
This process goes on, even when
the water contains crankcaSe oil

The basement is free from ducts.
When you, the home owner, look
around your rooms you see only the
same sort of radiator cabinets you
have always had-or newer, recessed
ones-and you have the same kind Of

If you want to air-condition only one

labor than 1t would take to install 4

be connected to short duct which
can bring in outside fresh air to be
warmed, cleaned and humidified as it
passes through the radiator unit.

drainage or other oils. for foreign
matter cannot thwart electrical
circuits.
To drain your cellar thoroughly,
the pump should be installed in a pit
dug way underneath the floor, lined
with some kind of dyke against dirt.
You adjust the upper electrode to the
maximum water level which Is possible
without endangering your floor and
set the lower one wherever you decide
you want the water drained to at low
level The motor itself must be in
stalled above the floor, naturally. The
water so pumped is carried of in your
regular sewer or drain.
Practically all possible conditions
arising in cellar drainage can be ham
died by one of the six models made by
the electrode model pump manufac-
turer. The shallowest and the deep
est sumps can be equipped equally
well incidentally. if the word "sump"
intrigues you, the definition will keep
it clear in your mind: "A depression
| sunk below the level of shaft" It's
a pump in a hole beneath your cellar,
that's what it is, and one Of modern
sciences greatest aids to healthful
housing.

- how they could have wood-covered
walls without going to the expense Of

F!eet Reserve officers and those in
the volunteer list, who are classified
as available for general service are
on tne same promotion list. OfiCers
say they do not see any reason for
this, pointing out the NAVY Depart-
ment should open this list of volunteer
o1ncers to promotion whenever their
lrainlng, experience and ability show
that they are entitled to il.
The Fleet Reserve officers are the
Nays first aid in time of war. b.
cause they are in closer touch with
the service and have constantly before
them the developments in naval ac-
tlVltles through their weekly training
and cruising. On the other hand. the
volunteers, except for few who volun-
tarily drill with the fleet, and the
special service officers have very little
contact with the service, and there is
no authority for granting them annual
cruises with pay, although some Of
them make training cruises and take
active training duty without pay. The
special service officers, many of them,
do not have any naval training. but
usually have civil occupation which
would fit them TO be of use to the
Navy, mostly in the shore establish
ment in time of war They are such
men as scientists, lawyers, etc.
Ihere appears to be no system about
the assignment of officers of rank n
the various units, as indicated by the
fact that some of the battahons are
commanded by lIeutenants while, in
some cases, lieutenant commanders
head divisions. The younger officers
are interested in the fact that sclec-
ton is now provided for the rank Of
lieutenant commander, yet they do
not receive their promotions IN the
regular course.
Ihere is group which feels that
an officer who has served too long IN
one grade should be eliminated from
the promotion column. Some contend
these officers are among the most val
liable IN the naval establishment. They
are comparatively young. have had
long experience, quite a few of them
are graduates of the Naval Academy,
who have resigned from the service,
bat desire to keep their naval con-
facts through the medium of the Re-
serve.
The single promotion list, it was
said, is not statute, but is a matter
OF regulation which has been put into
effect By the department. In view of
the apparent dissatisfaction which
appears to be brewing over this matter,
1t was pointed out 1t would be well for
the department to study the situa-
ton and take prompt steps to pro-
vide promotion for those officers who
are bearing the burden Of training the
citizen ReServlsts, and giving un-
stintnely of their time two to three
