Gain Seen Indication
OF Added Comfort
In New Homes
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

If enough pennies are counted,
the equivalent of a dollar is soon
reached-and so it is that bits of
statistics from here and there can
indicate a general trend more i'm
portant than any individual set of
figures.
Today, for example, there has
been released a survey of inStalla-
lions of gas refrigeratorS in the
washington area. Within itself
the survey reveals just that-the
number of installations of gas re-
frigeratorS in the Washington
area. But beyond this, the figures
suggest to the imaginative a
growth in the number of homes
here, as we'll as progress in their
comfort and equipment.
Increase Shown
In the District of Columbia
alone, it is reported by Wilmot R.
Souier, of the Washington Gas
Light Company, there existed H.
447 installations of household gas
refrigeration on July l, 1886.
One year later the number OF
the devices in use had increased
by SOB to a total Of 1885.
This is more than a hint that
building of dwellings is on the
upgrade; it infers the dwellings
are being equipped for modern liv-
ing. How many homes of 10 years
ago included mechanical refrig-
Grafton as an integral part OF their
original plan?
Include Suburbs
OF course, some installations
are in older structures. But most
of the refrigerators ordered today
are for new houses.
The statistics disclosed by
Squier, by the way, also show the
status of gas refrigeration in the
communities adjacent to the
Capital.
As of July 10. 1887, there were
1,446 installations in Rosslyn, 249
in Alexandria and 252 in Hyatts-
vile. On the same date, 1851 of
the machines were being utilized
in Washington, as compared with
the 1856 just 10 days before on
July /.

Besides, if the truth be known, Jerry
was bit satiated with Betty. She was
a trifle too vigorous and fortnight for
him. He was beginning to think
longingly of Sonia and Dolores.
At the end of another mile - this
one without a halt - Jerry was sure
he had reached the limit of human
endurance. Incidentally. an all con-
suming thirst had been added to his
already overflowing cup of misery.
The light housekeeping arrange
ment draped on MIR. McHale's back
gave him an inspiration. He quietly
edged up to that gentleman.
Got any Scotch or maybe little
rye in that kitchenette of yours? he
asked genially. Il could use little"
Mr.. McHale glared at him.
Never" he stated "Never -"
Il know" Jerry interrupted with
some asperity. "On the desert Id get
sunstroke. In the North I'd get frost
bite. But, what am getting here am
not allowed to tell you"
After these remarks Jerry dropped
in line behind Mr. McHale. He looked
longingly at the knife at his belt and
then at a clear space between MIR.
McHale's shoulder blades. He was
seized by an acute homicidal mania.
IF stabbed him with that knife,
he unused, Il would 60 to the chair.

she continued. Last time we had

Jerry looked about him in wonder.
There were no signs OF anything being
cooked or any place to cook it.

Then hope sprang to life within him.
From his place on the rocks he could
see an inviting tavern short way up
the road And, better yet, he could see
that this tavern had a comfortable and
ample cafe. Maybe they would 60
there for lunch. He even began to
repent of his impulse to slay MIR.
McHale. But, alas. his hopes were
only born to be dashed to the earth.
Mr.. McHale now opened his pack
and drew out several small pack
ages. Each was about the size and
shape of packet of chewing gum. He
gave one of these packets to each
Natures Friend.
On the wrapper Of his. Jerry read the
legend "McHale's Concentrated
Meals" Under this caption and in
smaller print he found the information
Beef Broth & Spinach"
Jerry opened his package in spirit
of wonder and revulsion. The contents
reminded him favorably. or unfavor-
ably rather, of rubber eraser.
He turned to Betty for enlighten-
ment. Betty had already opened hers
and was nibbling at it with relish.

outdoor people?" she said icily. This

Pain was bringing its own relief to
Jerry. He was actually doing on his
rock when Mr.. McHale stood up and
slung his pack to his shoulders. This
Jerry interpreted as sign that they
would again be on their way. He was
correct. Everyone loaded up.
Jerry tried to struggle to his feet but
sank back with groan. He was done.
He could 60 no further. He looked to

Jerry felt that he had been properly
snubbed. But he ventured one more
remark.
"It's wonderful. l know. But would
it not have been much easier for us to

Betty merely shrugged her dis

DoDAY. home photography at
night is about as easy and
routine a proposition as pho
tography by day. Amateur
food and flash bulbs and the new fast
film have put it on snapshot basis 50
that it S nearly as simple now to take
picture in the living room after dinner
as to snap one in the garden at noon.
But there is one significant diff
ference in indoor photography - with
artificial light one has complete con-
troll of the arrangement of his picture.
Outdoors. he hasn't.
Ifyou have never tried indoor snap
shooting, these long winter evenings
are splendid time to begin. Equip
ment is simple - two or three
moderated priced food bulbs, couple
of inexpensive cardboard reflectors,
ordinary bridge lamps or table lamps
and supersensitive film in your camera.
With such equipment, snapshots
can be made with almost any camera,
even the least expensive. For exam
pie, with two of the large No. 2 food
bulbs in cardboard refectors, four
feet from subject, you can make a
snapshot with box camera at its
largest opening With cameras marked
in "f' numbers, the exposure would
be / l/25 second at + II. If the lamps
are six feet from the subject. use three
No. flood bulbs with the box camera,
or give 1925 second at f6.3 with
cameras so marked.
In making informal portraits, the
light should usually be unbalanced to
