OPERATING COST CUT TO MINIMUM
General Motors Frigidaire Now Featuring New Si=
 lent Meter=Miser'

General Motors boasts a 25 per- cent saving on operating costs as the key feature of its 1888 line of Frigidaires.
 An improved compressor-called Silent Meter-Miser," because of the extreme quietness of its op- eration-and a new type of cabinet insulation are said to account for this economy.
 The Silent Meter -Miser" con- sists of sealed rotary unit ma- chine which provides large reserves of power, even in the hottest months of the year, thus effect ing, according to the manufac- turers, an unprecedented reduc- ton in costs of current, of keep ing food safe, of freezing ice, and of upkeep.
 A new Thermo-Sealed all-steel cabinet, announced by Frigidaire, is supposed to provide 8 percent more insulation, which results in an increased resistance to leak age of heat and therefore adds further to the new savings claimed for the 1888 model.
 Also noteworthy in this years Frigidaire is a redesigned freezer unit. It is suspended in the back of the cabinet so as to permit changes in construction and as- sembly. Thicker insulation is now used on top, and three bends in the refrigerant lines are elimi- mated.
 More space is now available below the unit which correspond ingly increases the capacity of the cold storage tray which is located there.
 The highlight among the new service features is "double-easy quick-tube tray" which embodies Improvements on the instant cube release first introduced in last years model.
 A gentle push of the finger lifts the entire tray, no matter how tightly frozen, and cubes are re- leased instantly. Containing con- siderably fewer parts than the previous release, this feature is orap, Wi1lioro EJol1 haodc tIa ooet

 The important first step is to get modern major appliances and put them in the right place. The second move is to concentrate on adequate storage and the final one is to consider cleanability of surface and color schemes.

Radios Bought

Get Electricity

What electrical appliance would you
buy first if your home were wired for
electricity tomorrow? The average
farmer would buy radio.
Skipping over electric washing ma
chimes and refrigerators, Mrs. Average
Farmer next would buy an electric
iron. In third place comes the electric
washing machine to replace the old
back-breaking tub, and fourth Is the
electric refrigerator. These facts
were made public today in survey
report of the Rural Identification
Administration.
Next in the order Of appliances the
farmer buys when electricity is brought
to his home are electric toasters, water
pumps, vacuum cleaners, hot plates,
small motors and lighting equipment
for poultry houses.
The average farmer spends about
$3.50 for appliances during the first
few months he has electricity, the
report stated. Electric washing ma
chimes are bought most in the Northern
States and refrigerators In the South.
Farmers on r. E. A. projects in Ohio

purpose anywhere, no nerves.
 Joe had observed enough of marriage to know that this was un- usual. He knew enough of women to credit Terry with uncanny judgment and skill in managing their moods and emotions. It was management in which no thought or effort show ed, as if 1t were instinct alone once again. She had quaint and surpris- ing perspective: meals, dishes, house, anything was forgotten if it were amusing for them to sit, she on his lap, talking and playing and laughing; and she was never cross if the neglect cost reluctant pains later. She amused him, tickled him, stirred him, kept him con- stantly aware of her, yet never as if with the least calculation or design.
 She might come and sit beside him when in her judgment he was silent and absorbed long enough in the newspaper or book. When her presence, quiet and almost bated of breath, finally penetrated his consciousness and he looked up, the big brown eyes would be waiting, provocative and full of secret mirth and very accusing.
 "Terry's bored" pouting. "Yeah?" vaguely.
 Terry wants to be amused"
 Huh! Did you darn all your old mans socks and beat the car pet and bake a weeks bread?"

THE high. profits and big risks
 of neutral trade during the Napoleonic wars first stimulated American shipping to the con- struction of fast-sailing vessels. After the war the Atlantic packet trade fell almost entirely into American hands.
 In 1843 the Rainbow" the first extreme clipper ship, was turned out by New York yard. But competition was already in the field. In 1888 the British with their "Great Western" and three: other ships completed trans- Atlantic crossings by steam. By 1840 they had secured a mail con- tract and launched a regular fortnight1y service with four pad- dle steamers of about 1150 tons.
 So the sailing vessels. were out moded, and except for the era of the fast Clippers during the gold rush days of '49, American ship ping turned quickly to steam. After the Civil War the screw became the unquestioned victor over the paddle wheel and navi! gation was further speeded ups cutting the transatlantic trip well below the 12 days required by sailing vessels. Reproduced here, slightly more than ono and one-half times actual size. is the steamship "Adrlatic," used on the i2-cent mllori green stamp of the 1869 U. s. series.

Jaffa Is One of Oldest

According to tradition, Jaffa, in Pal

the world, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. 1t was from this port that
Jonah sailed to escape his mission and
to which he returned after the episode
with the wlNle.
One of the jagged rocks that bar the
approach to the landing place is still
pointed out as that to which Andro-
media was bound and from which she
was released by the mythical Perseus.
It was at Jaffa that Tabitha, or
Dorcas, who was miraculously restored
to life by st. Peter, lived, and her
reputed tomb can be seen.
At Jaffa lived Simon the Tanner, the
first Gentle convert to Christianity.
His house still stands, 1t is said.

Beginning of Atomic Theory

The beginning of the atomic theory
may be traced to the speculations of
the ancients. Democritus, a Greek
philosopher of the Fifth century, was
probably the earliest to consider the
construction of matter. The founda-
tion of the modern atomic theory Is
attributed to John Dalton, school
master of Manchester, England, whose
theory was developd between 1903 and
1906. Before his time, however,
number of philosophers and scientists,
notably Boyle, Newton, Bacon, Des-
cartes, Hooke and Locke, were inter-
ested in this problem.

Colonial Furniture Work
of the Earliest Settlers


The term colonial, as applied tn
early American furniture, is properly
employed to indicate furniture used
in the colonies before they became
states. When it is remembered that
the Dutch settled in New York, the
English in New England and Vir-
ginia, and the French in Louisiana,
it is obvious that the best colonial fur
niture was of three different styles,
declares a writer In the Indianapolis
News. There were many good cabi-
netmakers in the colonies, and their
products were based on the current
modes Of their mother countries. The
colonial style, as such, resulted chiefly
from simplification, omission Of orna-
ment, and adaptation of the best Eu-
ropean practice.
That blending of styles occurred is
evident In some of the chairs OF
early New York, in which may be
found typical Dutch fiddle-back,
Jacobean legs, and Spanish feet. The
Windsor chair was of English origin,
but was greatly improved upon in
America. The rocking-chair was an
American product, but the date of it's
introduction is unknown.
Most important of the early cabinet
work was that Of Duncan Phyfe, q
Scot who came to America about 1884
and, after establishing himself at his
trade in New York, produced, between
the years 1875 and 1880, work equal in
quality to that of the best European
designers. Phyfe's lyre-backed chair
was a characteristic piece. From
1S30-47 his work was not of so high
a standard. He classified his over
decorated mahogany as butcher fur
niture."
