Boy Advises Girl:
Tolerance
KinfOlk
Difficult
BY GEORGE ANTHEn

VIZ HEN a couple mar
w ries do "his" relatives
and cher" relatives ever be-
come truly "our" relativesf
Or is it always "his" and
"hers"! One of the incon-
sistencies of marriage is
that a couple will adore each
other in spite of family
traits, family weaknesses
and family faults. But they
simply won't tolerate the
same traits in the relatives.
Surely no group of relatives
can be entirely different than
the one who leaves it to marry.
But couples accept the faults in
each other with kindness and
understanding and then blow up
over the same traits in other
members of the family.
Can't Appreciate
Mems Family Ties
Girls are worse in this respect
than men. There is one big i'm.
portant fact they can't get
through their feminine noodles,
They don't understand that the
men they marry are accustomed
10 their families, familiar with
them and have lived with them
so many years that faults lose
their edge and are accepted.
When a chap is brought up on
poor cooking he is accustomed
to 1t and not disturbed by 1t. So
he can't get excited when his
wife points out that she is q
much better cook than his
mother. The way his family
lives, the way it conducts itself
Is nothing new to him and it Is
hard for him to be too critical.
He doesn't get the same slant on
it that his wife does any more
than she gets the same slant on
her family as he does.
Considers 1t
A Privilege
Here is a mother-in-law's
views:
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I say thai
parents are not selfish when
they expect help from their chill
dren. I considered it a privilege
and pleasure to have my mother.
in-law with me the two and Q
half years she lived with me.
At the same time my mother
was with us. I would have been
glad to have them longer but
both have passed on.
1T is the young people who
are selfish when they no longer
want father and mother around.
I have reared five children and
while it has not been necessary
to live with them, I know I
could. They have lived with us
at times even since they were
married and they were welcome.
"All this talk about the in-lawS
and stepmothers makes my
blood boil. I have never been q
stepmother but have seen a
good many homes where there
have been Step-parents and know
most of the trouble comes from
the outside.-MRS. r. e. H."

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

A BURGLAR doesn't seem to have
n half q chance in the modern
~ home these days what with
4 \ all manner of devices being
installed to apprehend him If he does
manage to get through door or
window somehow. In fact. we expect
any potential burglars who read this
column to Immediately give it all up
and take crocheting as profession.
We mean this. because the little device
we are going to describe is almost sure
to put even expert housebreakers in a
bad spot.
This burglar alarm takes only a
minute to install because it merely
requires plugging into an ordinary
light outlet. All you have to do is
point it toward lighted lamp when
you set it up, and the ray of light
which will pass between the two is the
trap for intruder When any one
comes between the lamp and the de-
tector, the photoelectric eye imme-
diately responds and causes loud and
violent alarm to 60 of.
You can see that the little outfit
should be very effective because it
works on the ordinary light which you
would normally have on in the room,
fooling the burglar into thinking he
was perfectly safe. The moment he
gets in the beam of light, or turns the
light out in the room, he has prac-
tically placed himself in an adjacent
police station.

A bedroom, following the modern
trend Of painting the walls in shaded
horizontal bands, Is attractively deco$
rated in blue. For the ceiling and
upper wall, horizon blue is used. For
the second or middle band, horizon
blue slightly darkened with royal blue.
For the lower band, a shade darker
than the middle. The floor is painted
French gray tinged with royal blue.
The furniture is likewise three col.

HOUSING DIFFERS
Typical LoW.Cost Type Held
Unsuitable in America
Because of Standards.

The type Of low-cost housing no
popular In England would be difYicult
to market in America, according to
Frank Taylor. noted English builder,
who outlines the main differences in
English and American housing in 4
currently published article.
A builder OF long experience In Eng
land. Mr.. Taylor is currently develop
ing low-cost home project on Long
Island. N. Y. His comparisons OF Eng
lish and American home building prac-
tices should be available in determin-
ing the extent to which the United
States might borrow from the expert
ence OF the English in the construction
OF homes for average Americans.
1T Is the difference between the
viewpoint and standards OF living Of
the two peoples which is chiefly re-
sponsible for the dissimilarities be-
tween the American homes we are
building and those we construct for
our average home purchaser" he said
One Similar Demand.
The average American and the
average Englishman both demand good
construction. Other demands. how
ever, are so wide Of each other that
we have made no attempt to adapt our
English ideas to our American opera
lions. The type of American home
which We are building is an attached
slx-room house of solid brick con-
struction with central heating, hard
wood floors. tiled bath and all the
other conveniences which the average
American home purchaser demands.
These homes are selling at $500.
Our typical English offering is a
semi-detached six-room house placed
on lot % feet wide and from 100 to
l5o feet deep. Construction is of
brick-we build no frame houses in
England-with ll-inch cavity walls;
that is, double walls with air space
Tor insulation. The roof is of con-
crete tile. The house has neither attic
nor basement and the footings 70
down only about feet since we have
no frost line worries. There is no
central heating plant.
12-by-10 Living Room.
The ground floor living room meas
ures IL feet by 10 feet, with a dining
room 10 feet by 10 feet and a kitchen
8 feet by feet. The kitchen equip
ment includes sink, deep enough for
some laundering-there are no laundry
tubs-a water boiler, gas stove and
small cabinet. Refrigerators of any
kind are seldom used. Upstairs there
are two bedrooms, a nursery and a
small bath. The bath contains a tub
and water boiler and a linen cup
board The flooring is of the same
material as flooring in the other rooms.
"Coal-burning flreplaces, one in the
living room, one in the dining room
and third one in one of the bed
rooms, provide heat for the entire
house. OF course. there is no garage,
but the home must have ample garden
space. This type of English house sells
for $4,000, with the purchaser usually
acquiring it with a or 10 per cent
down payment"

ing in America, Mr.. Taylor said he

IF YOU are figuring on having your
oil burner gone over this summer,
and you certainly should to avoid the
fall rush, 1t is good idea to make
sure that the brick lining inside the
furnace Is in good shape. This lining
plays very important part in the
proper operation Of your burner. and
it is highly necessary that it be of the
proper size and design if you are going
to get the most efficient and. economi-
cal operation when the cold winds
start to blow again.
In order to provide your burner with
an adequate. well-shaped firing space
you can now buy prefabricated COM
bustion chamber which is readily in
stalled. and comes in a small number
of easily handled sections. The vari-
Gus pieces are cast in the factory in
such shapes as your furnace demands,
and your service man can pass them
through the furnace door, then fit
them in place with a minimum of
costly time and worry.

Westward Transportation
Seward Gateway

In all the talk about the need of passenger and
freight transportation facilities to the Westward,
there can be no criticism of Capt. Peter Void asso-
oiate owner and master of the motorshp Fern. All
the guarantee given that mail would be delivered
and there be no complaint but that the Fern is
handling the mail in frst-class condition
Delegate Anthony j. Dmond and residents along
the Alaska Peninsula find Captain Void in perfect
agreement that something should be done toward
meeting transportation needs, and it is to that end
that the Delegate is working, aided by constructive
advice from those to be most affected
Mr. Dimond has acquired first-hand knowledge
Of the situation and there is reason to doubt but
that the situation will be cleared up, that the people
will be accorded the transportation that they so
unquestionaby need and so richly deserve
After all, people out to the Westward are no more
capable of walking and driving about on the waters
than the rest of us while just much entitled to
go places all it requires is common sense view
and treatment and the trick is done. From the
earnest way in which Delegate Dimond is going
about it. believe that it will be done.
