DINNER TO LAUNCH.
FAIR IN NEW YORK
Grover A. WhaIen Dinner
Tonight Will Bring Dele

About 200 Federal leaders and
nrominent New Workers will attend
the dinner given tonight by Grover
A. Whalen, former police commits
sioner of New York, at the Mayrlo"er
Hotel at 8 O'Clock. to officially launch
the New York Worlds Fair In 1889.
The New York delegation, which
includes Mayor La Guardia and owen
d Young, is to arrive here this after
noon in two private coaches ana is
to be accompanied by police esr It
to the Mayflower.
Although the dinner IS to be a
"stag" affair, all arrangements are
being made by women and women
are being given first consideration IN
all plans for the exposition, Miss
Monica Walsh, director of women's
participation, told Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt at a press conference yes
terday.
Far from being an "afterthought"
or a necessary evil" women will be
asked what they want" in the fair,
which is to be built around the theme,
1.-THE World of Tomorrow" Miss
Walsh said. This will be done through
a national referendum of feminine
opinion.
Avoiding a "checker-board system"
the fair will not segregate exhibits
relating to any one subject. but art,
science and so on will permeate every
division WonenS interests will be
included in the theme of every divi-
sion-public welfare, consumer inter-
est, education, religion, arts, recrea-
ton, ETC., Miss Walsh explained.
The fair will concentrate on the
consumer, as opposed to previous ex-
positions promoting producer inter-
ests, she said, in an attempt to inter-
pref all salable material in relation
to everyday life.

BUILDING EXPERTS
CITE CAPITAL NEED
Downward Curve in Con-
struction Arc Points to
Urgency of Problem.

AS the year nears its end, the
curve of the building construction arc
serves to re-emphasize, in its down.
ward trend, the urgent need for pri-
vate capital to expand building op-
erations as recommended by the
Presidents Committee on Housing and
the recent Washington conference of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States on local housing.
The Structural Clay Products In
stitute Of Washington, national
spokesman for the brick and tile in
dustry, points out that Labor De-
partment reports show that "only in
seven spots in the country has con-
struction shown increases that augur
well for the industry as whole"

said of the balance sheet for con-
struction activities during the ten
month period of 1887:
For the almost 1900 cities report
Ing activity, the drop in October, In
building expenditures. exceeds 81 per
cent over October, 1886. More than a
Is per cent drop is recorded between
October and September of this year.
This is made doubly significant by the
fact that comparative figures are not
really comparable; those for 1886
represent 824 cities while those for
1887 represent 1895 cities. With 671
more cities reporting in 1887, building

Roofing panels of two-story models

structural board, fastened in place at
the factory. Over this board is laid,
on the job, layer of roofing felt,
and thlck-butt asphalt shingles,
stained cedar shingles, or any other
types of roofing suitable to the under

The purchaser has his choice of
many optional features. Not only are
there many optional floor plans and
exterior designs, but variety of deco
rative finishes are available-both in
side and outside. For instance, bath
room walls may be painted or finished
with ceramic tile, if desired.
Garages Also Prefabricated.
Along with the line of prefabricated
houses, the same manufacturer offers
prefabricated garages-in either one
car or tWo-car sizes, with fiat or
pitched roofs. The garage panels are
covered on the outside with single
wall of sturdy structural board, and
the panels are joined together with
the same patent fasteners used in the
house construction.
All houses are designed to be heated
by forced, humidified, filtered warm
air systems. Ductwork has been engi-
neered into the wall panels, and the
heating specifications for every model
are given to the purchaser so that
properly-sized equipment may be in
stalled, even though the purchaser
buys his equipment locally.

~ NE of the most important dis
coveries home owner can
I make about building and
~ equipping his home is that
common sense can be applied to
house as we'll as to child rearing,
politics or any of the other facts of
modern life which lay claim to en-
ploying it.
You may feel lost in the confusing
exhibit of materials and machines
which are profered for your house
whether you are building new, re-
modelling or only trying to maintain
your homes efficiency. But if you
use common sense each time some
body offers you a product you won't
be too lost.
Even when it is heating equipment
which is under discussion you can
employ the yardstick OF ordinary hui
man logic. You can ask questions
about the operation of a furnace or
boiler and demand to be enlightened
as to the why of its efficiency. Most
manufacturers representatives are
only too pleased to put into simple
language the theories by which their
equipment functions. And when you
know you get a deeper satisfaction
in your purchase.

the functioning of boiler came to
our attention the other day. 1t is a
welded steel boiler designed for au-
tomato firing. The common sense
explanation had to do not with the
design, however, but with the prin-
ciple by which it works.
Say the manufacturers: TRY this
test yourself. Light a candle and
hold the palm of your hand in a
vertical position alongside the flame.
Very little heat is felt. Try it. how
ever, with your palm in a horizontal
position above the flame The heat
is unbearable. This test illustrates
the principle of the boiler. 1t is
designed so that the heating surface
is made up of series of generators
placed directly over the combustion
chamber, so the heat travelling up
ward will strike the heating genera
tor surface at right angles"
That's all. Seems only common
sense. Yet it is the reason why this
particular brand of boiler works ef-
flciently.
The flames and the heat are shut
tied back and forth between the gen.
orators, thus subjecting the water in
the generators to the greatest possible
amount of heat, all at once Some
times the use of this system has shown
savings of SO per cent in fuel con-
sumption because common sense
againD all of the heat given of by the
flames is utilized.
The underlying principle, according
to the manufacturer, is subjecting the
smallest amount of water to the great
est amount Of heat. The water In the
generator is isolated from the water

Do radios cause the dark-brown
taste that emanateS from some
faucets in the mornings7
Yes, AYERS Chester F. Drake,
chief engineer in the city filtra-
ton plant.
No, contradicts a radio engineer
at WCAE, who prefers to remain
anonymous.
After a study of the question,
Drake claimed that when radios
are grounded on water pipes the
pipes corrode and contaminate the
water. This results from cleo
tricity splitting the water into n.y.
drogen and oxygen, he said, where
upon the oxygen, attacks the
metal of the pipes.

tered with:

up enough current in a year to
