HROBABLY you have been wish
- ing for air conditioning for
many moon, wishing in the
= way child wishes, for the
moon-nice, but impossible, of course.
Maybe some day, when your ship comes
in
But do you know that you can have
the comfort Of air conditioning in all
its Summer phases for about the price
of the cheapest model of the lowest
priced car? And that 1t is profitable, so
you may conscientiously buy its heat
defying comforts, even though you live
in an apartment or In rented house?
We have been examining great
many air conditioners lately. and one
of the most attractive models is q
movable unit requiring no plumbing or
piping of any kind. Yet it performs
the six necessary functions Of true
Summer air conditioning: it supplies
cooled air. extracts the humidity. keeps
the air fresh, filters the air Of dust and
dirt, circulates air and quiets the room
in which it is installed by making it
possible for you to keep windows and
doors shut.
All of the blessings are wrought by
mechanism encaSed in Mexican
cedar cabinet, an asset to any living
room, dining room or bed room, wher-
ever you choose to put it. 1t must be
set in front Of the window, of course,
where 1t has easy access to fresh air
1t is connected to the great outdoors
by means Of window adapter. which
combines fresh-air inlet with con-
denser air suction and discharge
| ducts. But don't let these scientific
sounding words appall you. The ap-
paratus is small, out Of sight and needs
only to be plugged into the electric
power lines to start working.
The cooling of the air is done by
means of refrigerant within the
cabinet, the same as is used in large
cooling plants. such as you find in
department stores, film theaters and
restaurants. There is control which
keeps the cooling in balance, so it
does not get the air inside your room
too cool in comparison with the out
doors, situation that has been found
uncomfortable and even unhealthful
because Of too abrupt changes Of
temperature when people come in and
out frequently.
The electricity consumed by this
conditioner costs but few cents an
hour, the exact price being deter
mined by your electric rate. of course.
A few dollars week, to be able to
come home to haven Of cool COM

All children love to decorate" their
rooms, especially when they have lots
OF time to spend indoors. But if
you've sturdy linoleum on the floor
and "stick-up" boards on the walls,
you need not worry about permanent
damage.
"stick-up" boards are an easy way
to prevent marring the walls. They
can be as big as a whole wall, or
merely picture size, depending upon
your childs ambitions. All YOU do is
to get a 4-foot width OF a well-known
building board and let the length be
any number of feet up to II, for the
board we have in mind comes in all
sizes from by 7 feet to 4 by II feet.
You can make it movable by treating
the surface as Ii it were a picture and
mounting it with a molding either
OF wood or the same building board
material Or you can nail it to the
wall, above the bed, the desk or
the bookcases.
The children can paste or thumb
tack their current favorites on the
building board, changing the pictures
as their own enthusiasms grow or
diminish. And, of course. the whole
scheme is delightfully."- inexpensive

vention Of situations requiring more or
less costly repairs.

The garage is built in, as are all
