building Is being inhabited by
transient who frighten women
and children Of the community.
Appeals to the District Commis-
sioners and Public Library truS-
tees for a new branch library
building in the area having failed,
it was voted to appeal directly to
the Bureau of the Budget and the
appropriations committees in the
House and Senate for the neces-
Eary funds.
Il was pointed out the building
On Conduit Road, where the library
is located, is so years old, was for
sperly used as a Schoolhouse, and
is entirely inadequate to serve
needs Of the growing community.

OFF POINT
Farm Prices Decline in
Last Month

Due to the downward trend in
prices Of truck crops and miscel-
laneous products, the general level
of market prices Of agricultural
commodities declined one point
during the month ended Novem-
Der IS, the Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics reported yesterday.
Prices Of Dairy products rose
two pointS-co nSiderably less than
the usual seasonal rise, the bureau
said. Declines in wheat, corn and
other grains were offset by small
advances in prices Of oats and
rice since mid October. Increases
in prices Of sheep and lambs offset
minor declines in hogs and cattle.

w YE CAN'T seem to get away
| \A/ from the subject OF all
wv conditioning atthis time OF
| the year. We use the words
as they are most frequently used
these days in communications from
readers, meaning comfort conditioning
for summer. For. of course. air con-
ditioning is a year-around thing.
We have recently come upon
comfort-bringing system for summer
which makes no claims to actual cool
ing of air. 1t is ventilating system.
which handles the air Of your house
the natural way" according to the
makers. This means equipping every
important room Of your house with a
powerful ventilator, which brings in
fresh moving air.
Most of use are familiar with the
idea of a ventilator in the kitchen
where cooking odors are apt to linger
without artificial air motion. But
the ventilator is almost as useful in a
living room. in summer. for who likes
a room where the air is stale or smoky?
These are the two most important
places for ventilators; after them. con-
slider bathroom, bedroom, laundry and
playroom.
The ventilators We have in mind
consist of fans, covered by an interior
flange of a wall sleeve, which is a
sort of tunnel through which air
can pass freely The sleeve can be
any size required by the thickness of
the wall, and because it is smooth
| circular affair no accumulations of
dust or grease can gather in ridges or
pockets AS the air goes through. This
continuous tubular duct is the chief
distinction of the system" we gather.
1t eliminates in practically all cases
any need for special sheet-metal work
of framing" which is often the
largest item of expense in the purchase
of ventilators.
The ventilators come in various
sizes. and are set into the walls. In
new houses their installation amounts
to practically nothing: in old houses,
where a niche for each must be cut
into the wall, the cost of installing
them is from IS to Sl2 each. The
fans are sized according to the space
they must serve: 8-inch fans cost
$3.50, lO-inch. s33 80: l2-inch. $50 SO,
list prices.
All wiring is concealed. and the fans
are operated by the pull of chain,
which also releases outside shutters.
/ When you turn it off, another pull of
the chain closes the shutters and stops
the fan Fresh circulating air is a
great help in hot weather. Perhaps a
ventilating system is your answer to
the omfort-conditioning problem.
SUMMERS may come and summers
- may go, but the search for fresh,
durable green paint goes on forever.
Do the shutters on your house need
redoing? Or the lattice work around
your kitchen door? Or the door itself?
You will be interested in the paint

provisions for all necessary facilities.
Some of the questions asked in the
booklet are
What type Of neighbors live IN the
community?
In what types Of homes?
Are there coming laws or deed re-
strictions to protect the property
against undesirable entertainments
such as factories, stores and filling
stations?
These and other questions determine
the future safety Of the investment
and must be given the careful con-
sheraton which Federal Housing Adj
ministration inspection affords. as no
amount of wishful thinking will make
a desirable neighborhood of a section
which is subjected to too rapid de-
teriOration.
Transportation facilities are held by
the administration almost as lmpor-
tant to family comfort as is modern
plumbing, heating or lighting.

The second production OF the
season of the summer theater at
Bailey's Cross Roads, Va, went
over with a bang last night.
This group deserves the Legion
of Honor or something - for
the meritoriouS work they are
turning out.
Last nights offering, "Holi-
day." by Philip Barry, was
thrown, largely, upon some of
the best members of the COM
pany, and they supported the
burden with ease.
After having the Earle beat
them to the gun by week,
there is no need to discuss the
plot but minutely. It is about a
young couple, madly in love,
who look upon life from entirely
different angles, yet still want to
marry. But the girls sister
seems to think in the same
channel as the prospective
groom, and she finally gets her
man, or rather her sisters man.
1t might be said here that
Cross Roads has somewhat of a
"Star" budding in the person
of Catherine Ryan, who por-
trays the part Of Lynda. Miss
Ryan holds Steadfast to her
character throughout:

'tertainS, but it informs. It has as
it's stars Madeleine Carol and
Henry Fonda, and in support Of
these two popular players are
such capable players as John
Halliday, Leo Garlic, Reginald
Denny and others. Its director
is William Dieterle, whose Life
of Emile Zola" and Louis Pas

triumphs that will live forever.

heart-touching romance. It's a
big and important picture which

Drummer Boy Cochran began
his career with his own Deuces

into Chris Arth'S orchestra at
the National. His first press
notice was indelibly recorded on
these pages the night he went
drum wild between the acts of

the frantic efforts to have it
torpedoed, the eventual triumph

SOME GOOD EXTRAS
Blockade doesn't win the
war for either side. It leaves
it unsettled, and from a spec
tacular standpoint is a direc-
tors picture. William Dieterle,
(who bossed "Zola" and pas
teur") has staged some graphic
war scenes, and the acting that
will move you most comes from
the several hundred extras
weather-lined characters whose
faces reflect life's hardships,-
also from the baby who walls at
the right time.
Madeleine Carroll is a little
too pretty and well-coiffured at
all times, to be very convincing.
Sober-faced Henry Fonda is
deadly serious in his well pre-"
pared speeches. Their best scene
together is the pastoral where
they meet for the first time. is
the only one with a genuine
touch of romance.
John Halliday, Robert War

carry military roles well. Block
