have to do is plug the two units into
the two rooms you will be concerned
with at that particular time and elec-

X EEPING a constant circulation OF
air through a room is a pretty
hard thing to do. even if you do hap
pen to have breeze blowing on a fine
summers evening. The door to the
room is almost sure to prefer the
closed position to the more comfortable
open location, and little that one can
do will change its mind. You can put
wooden blocks under 1t, but they will
soon be dislodged, or you can place
cast-iron dogs or cats next to 1t with
equally poor results.
To put an end to this ceaseless
shilly-shally which. adds 50 much to
your discomfort you can now put a
decorative little arrangement on the
offending door or doors which will do
a great job of door holding.
This little gem consists of a small
arm made of handsome brass or bronze
which is screwed on to the door frame
Another part of the holder is placed
on the door itself. If you want to
have the door held open about 2 inches
you merely swing the little arm up so
that it engages the holder on the
door. This not only braces the door
against the desired breeze, but also

TT YOU happen to have a small
baby or an invalid in your house,
hold you have probably wished
= for some sort of a device which
would enable you to keep in close
contact with them without actually
staying in the same room. So many
times you have things you want to do
in another part Of the house and feel
uncomfortable about leaving them
alone. thus causing yourself a lot OF
unnecessary worry and adding many
firing steps.
Science has again come to the fore,
however. and remedied this situation
by providing us with an electric device
which acts as constantly vigilant
nurse. All you have to do is plug an
attractively designed unit into the
nearest room outlet, the same kind
used for lamps or fans. and place 1t
near the baby's crib or the patients
bed. Then you plug another unit OF
the same type, only brown in color,
the first one being white, into the
electric outlet located in the room
where you will be. Because of the
very sensitive pickup mechanism in
the first unit you are able to hear even
the smallest sounds which occur in
the nursery or bedroom regardless of
where you happened to have plugged
in the brown listening unit.
These sounds are carried over the
ordinary house light wires and the

cooperation of city planners, archi-
tects. local officials, and other groups
in finding successful solutions to the
problems of replanning which have
arisen.
The largest cities show the most
general trend toward re-examination

ions. Geographical differences are

commissions whose status was unre-

zoning boards and SIS had zoning

OF the 1911 zoning ordinances in

nances; 235 were for use only; 8 were

MORE SAVINGS co
INTO ASSOCIATIONS
Second Quarter Shows Gain
With $42,210,0O0 Total
in GIG Institutions.

People put 1885 per cent more saw
ings into savings, building and loan as
sociations during the second quarter
Of this year than during the like
period of 1887. the United States
Building and Loan League reported
today. 1t had tabulations on new
money received by GIG associations,
showing that $42,21o.Oo0 of savings
were put in those associations during
April, May and June.
The reporting associations showed
4 net gain of 3.74 per cent in assets
during the first half of the year, ac-
cording to A. D. Theobald, assistant
vice president of the league, bringing
the assets of these associations up to
1862, sos, 900 as of June 80.
Southeast Gains Highest.
New savings invested during the
first six months were larger per-
centage of total assets 63 per cent, in
the southeastern part of the country
than in any other district. The league
analyzed these figures on basis Of the
IL Federal Home Loan Bank districts,
finding that the New York-New Jersey
district ran second, receiving new
savings to the extent of So per cent
of the assets of reporting institutions.
The eighth district, comprising Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri and the Dakotas
was next, taking in new savings which
we're Sc per cent of assets, and the
ninth district, including Arkansas,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and New
Mexico, got new savings equal to 81
per cent of reporting associations
assets.
The second quarter performance was
featured by almost equal amounts of
new savings put into the reporting
associations each of the three months.
May led as the money-getter with $13,-
671 900. but April was only 100000
behind it. and June saw the inpouring
of another $13.0O9.000 from savers.
This circumstance leads Mr.. Theobald
to conclude that much of the new
money coming in now is on systematic
savings plans, under which the in
vestor tries to keep up certain rate
Of savings each month.
May Shows Greatest Gains.
Comparing new savings received
each of the three months with the
amount in the same month last year,
the league found that May showed
the greatest gain. some 100000 more
than in May. 1887.
Money taken out of the SIG report
ing associations was about As per
cent more than for the second quarter
last year. but the increase in new in
vestments was so much greater than
this that the net gain in savings for
the period was 1915 per cent greater
this year than last. While with
drawals were ahead of last year in
both April and May they dropped to
some $4,000 below the 1897 figure in
June Mr.. Theobald saw in this de-
velopment some indication that the
economic emergencies in the spring
months which naturally had their
effect upon the outflow of peoples
savings from the associations had
lessened in severity by June. This
observation, he pointed out, is in line
with some other indicators that the
business slump was halted in June.

SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSON. County Supt

If you wish to hear boys sing that
like to sing, can sing and will sing,
go to Miss Grace Sherer's school, dis
trict 126, in Clover township. They
lead the school and like it. Fine work
boys!
Most all of our rural schools are
having appropriate exercises for this
season. Special programs have great
educational and citizenship values, if
properly handled and not overdone
According to reports, the Belden
school will have the first evening
Christmas program in the history OF
the school. The majority of the pupils
are Indian children and are very
talented. You should hear several OF
the girls play the guitar and the 9TH
ers sing. James Coyne is the teacher
the past two years. Three eighth
graders there expect to graduate in
June. Southern Pine county should
be interested in knowing that Belden
and Saint Paul are about the same
distance from Pine City.
Markville, district LOG, has a full
house in both rooms this year. The
Federal government is cooperating in
the handling of Is additional Qndian)
children there. Ten of these are from
the Tamarack River settlement Mark
vile is one of our best equipped and
best managed two-room schools in the
county with a total enrolment this
year of more than rs pupils. Don
Ehmke and Miss Genevieve Lennox
are the teachers.
Warm lunch and also milk are
being served daily to the 81 children
in Miss Mary Gallik's school, district
90, near Danbury. Twenty-seven OF
these children are Indian children
Many are being transported. Fed
eral money for these children at dis
trict 90, Markville, and Belden
amounts to over $500 per month.
This has helped the schools as well
as reduced the direct relief costs in
Pine county the past two years.
Most of the rural schools near Pine
City closed for the big community
program Tuesday afternoon, Dec 20
at the armory. Many of the nearby
schools furnished short numbers for
the program This is a delightful
annual affair.
We are sure that the readers of
this column will all agree that all
of us wish the rest of us a Merry
Christmas.

Marks Christmas january

p ODANTHE, N. c., easternmost
N town in America, celebrates
Christmas twice each year. "New"
Christmas comes December Is but
just as regularly on January S the
inhabitants of this isolated town OBJ
serve "Old" Christmas, a carry-over
from the days before our current

Christmas trees must be imported,
for Rodanthe has only one tree (see
below, a gnarled oak. But the kids
enjoy this plan, because Santa Claus
visits them twice. Their parents,
fishermen and coastguardsmen on an
island that is little more than a shift
ing sand dune, participate enthusias-
tically in both celebrations. But
