the home modernizer's time to
relax, what with the shutting
down of the heater and other bothers
of the wintertime. But, for obvious
reasons this time Of year really is ideal
for making vital repairs or alterations.
In the first place, the weather is in
your favor If you want to put in new
boiler. additional radiators, insulation
or kindred equipment. And secondly,
the people in the trades which do that
type of work are in their lax season
and can not only give more care to
your particular job but will also do it
for less money in many cases.
Take, for instance, the installation
OF new type of insulation, which is
now on the market. You can have this
material installed in a more or less
leisurely fashion by expert workmen
without having to worry about the
house getting chilled, or being caught
short by a sudden burst of foul
weather.
This insulation makes use of the
insulating qualities of aluminium foil
in new and different manner. In
stead Of the usual fiat sheets Of alum
mum hung in place, or attached to
backing Of some sort, this material
employs a sort of accordion -pleated de-
sign. This idea makes the material
self-supporting, due to the truss-like
structure which Is formed, and also
provides additional dead air spaces to
add to its insulating abilities.
The insulation comes on the Job in
Is inch or % inch widths all folded
up 80 that the entire amount of ma
terial required to insulate an average
attic is contained In two cartons,
weighing only 40 pounds each. To put
it in place. the installer pulls the &C
Gordon out between two studs or raf-
ters and tacks it at either side with
tacks or staples Thus, rigid struc-
ture of air cells is put in place in
very simple fashion, and you don't have
to worry about the stuff's settling down
or losing its insulating value after it
has been in place for time.
AS every one knows, of course, the
main value of most metallic insulations
is in its rejecting qualities. When heat
hits 1t from either side it is reflected
back and the space on the opposite
side Is kept at an even Temperature.
With this new insulation you not only
reap the benefits of its rejecting abil-
ity, but also cut OF the heat with a
fine layer of dead air cells which are
noted for their reluctance toward let
ting heat through. And don't FORGET.
insulation Is every bit as valuable in
summer when you are trying to keep
heat out as 1t is in winter when the
reverse Is true
E'VERY day some one seems to bring
out q new device for letting air into
rooms which were formerly at the
mercy of the breezes which blow. or the
rains that fall Here is a clever new
one which does a good Job and costs
very little because of its simple
construction.

1t Can't Happen Here

The other day when the Nazi am
bassador called on Secretary of
State Hull and protested against a
speech delivered the evening before
in New York by former Ambassa-
dor Dodds of Berlin. Mr.. Hull avail
ed himself of the occasion to point
out that freedom Of speech was an
actual fact in this country and that
every American citizen has to be
accorded the right to express his or
her views on matters of public in
terest even though such views may
not be complimentary to everybody
all the time.
Mr.. Dodd told his New York aud
fence just what he had experienced
from and learned about Fascism
while in Berlin and did not mince
matters any, judging from press re-
ports. That most of it was far from
flattering to Herr Hitler and his
regime could hardly be the fault of
the speaker, for he backed up his
assertions with data which appears
indisputable. But Herr Hitler did
not like it and sent his mouthpiece
in Washington posthaste to Secre-
tary Hull with protest. Those
Nazi cannot tolerate letting the in
dividual speak his mind over there
and they can't understand how the
authorities over here can stand for
it.
Right here we have the funda-
mental difference between the u.
S. and present-day Germany, as
well as Italy and Russia. In the

press his own thoughts, unless these
are in complete accord with the

many Of us realize the deep signi-
ficance OF this and not merely take
1t as a matter of course.
The way some Of our "liberal(!)"

have selfsame conditions here if
they had their way about it. Not so

ing to enact laws sending to the

true that the ardor Of many Of

lars for the fiscal year 1889. From
this 1t win be seen that we have
joined the mad race for ornaments.
AS long ago as March last I in
troduced a resolution asking the
President to call a disarmament
conference but nothing has been
done about It. I believe that practi-
cally all the great powers are ready
to call a halt on this mad spending
because they realize that its con-
tinuation can only end in world
bankruptcy. Think what good we
could do with the two billion dollars
that we are spending for national
defense next year. We could con-
struct thousands Of community hos
pitfalls for the under-privileged, thou
sands Of play grounds for the child
rem. and thousands Of miles of hard

mentary that we have to spend such
huge sums for protection against

During the past week I have re-
ceived great many letters pro-
testing against the proposal of At
torney General Cummings that all
firearms be registered. These pro-
tests came from individuals as well
as sportsmen's organizations. Per-
sonally, cannot see where any
good can be ACCOMPLISHED through
the registration Of firearms because
1T would not make it anv more diff
ficuh for gangsters to secure wea-
pons and about the only thing 1t
would do would be setting up a new
government bureau giving en-
ployment to many additional in-
spectors and clerks. We should give
consideration to cutting down those
now in existence rather than to
creating new ones.

would seem the part Of wisdom to
conserve our feed supply in case we
should have a dry spring. However,
the Smithsonian Institute, which
has made a very comprehensive

period that extends back 100 years,
states that we are definitely out Of
the dry cycle and that there will
not be another general dry period
until 1875 which is very encourag-
ing. ... ...

Family Style, by Karle Wilso

Family Style, by Karle Wilson
Baker.
Oil! You and your family live
for wears on the land, and then al
most overnight, the whole face OF
the country changes. You become a
gambler; you pour every available
dollar and all your credit into sink
ing a well. You may get a smoke
blackened crater and a ruined
farm.
The characters of this novel, led
by Kathleen and Duke, are a group
of native Texans who have titled
their farms for generations and are
now being uprooted socially, men
tally and financially through. the
discovery of oil on their properties.
What this does to them, from dis
covery to fruition, individually and
collectively, makes the book. Some
through sheer chance are ruined;
others are unable to bear sudden
fortune; and still others, among
them Kathleen and Duke emerge,
having grown by experience to a
larger maturity. The outstanding
feature of the book is its utter and
complete normality. Yet this doesn't
mean the book Is written on q dull
level. On the contrary, there are
humor and pathos and tragedy in
the striking Of oil and waiting for a
gusher. The characters themselves
range from the splendid old grand
parents. full Of wisdom and virtue,
each in their own way, to the orp-
han youngster made rich over
night.
The canvas Is a big one and the
story moving and dramatic. Mrs.
Baker Is a poet of note and writes
with distinstion and with a sensi-
tive eye for character and feeling.
A notable first novel which because
Of its intrinsic excellence and be-
cause Of its locale, should find
many interested readers.

Observations
from Washington
The Ever Growing Government
(By Congressman Harold Knutson)

The Ever Growing Government
Even those who are constantly
, on the ground do not realize the
rapid expansion that lis taking place
in governmental activities in Wash
ington. Perhaps the best example
that I have seen of this expansion
appeared in a small paragraph in
last WEEKS issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, which reads as fol-
lows: -
ain 1927 the Curtis Publishing
company filed IA tax returns with
federal, state, and local govern
ments. It cost $3.50 to prepare them.
In 1887 this company filed about
44,500 tax returns, the cost of pre-
pairing which was $4,000. In 1927
this company filed one tax return
in Canada. In 1887 it filed one re-
turn there.P
The experience of the Saturday
Evening Post is the experience of
every business man, big and small
but, of course, in varying degree.
Ask the average merchant up and
down the street about his ex-
periences with the Social Security
Tax which is being denounced from
Dan to Beersheba. Let not the aver
age person deceive himself into be-
lieving that it Is none of his affair.
AS a matter of fact, all help to pay

Untimely Legislation
The administrations insistance
that Congress give precedence to
certain social legislation at this
particular time. when ten or twelve
million American dollars are idle
because Of lack OF confidence in
the future, is something that can
not understand. It would seem to
me that all these social reforms can
and should be side-tracked until we
have disposed of more pressing
matters. Here we have the case
Of the Senate continuously debating
the anti-lynching bill since Con-
gress convened a month ago not
withstanding that 1t has a calendar
that Is crowded with pressing and
necessary legislation. Fortunately
the House rules do not permit of
these protracted debates and fiji
busters. AS result we already have
passed and sent over to the Senate
two major appropriation bills and
probably fifty measures of lesser
Importance, none Of which have yet
been acted upon by the Senate.
Uncle Sam Joins Mad Race
The Naval Appropriation bin,
which passed the House last Friday
carried $50 million dollars, the
greatest sum ever voted the navy in
peace time. Among the items was
140 million dollars for two capital
battle ships and the President has
indicated that he will shortly ask
for another billion for preparedness
