NEW YORK, Dec. l6. (UP)-
Baseball remains the national
sport but its position is seriously
threatened by college and profes-

editors said last night in a vote
in the United Press year-end poll.
Seventy-five per cent of those
voting chose baseball as the out
standing sport, emphasizing that
it holds the interest of the pub
lie over a longer period than any
other athletic enterprise. Football
received ~ per cent of the votes
and the remainder were scattered
among basketball, hockey, soft
ball, golf and bowling.

Parke Carroll of the Kansas
City Journal-Post sees a threat to
baseball:
Baseball is no longer the dom

it still seems to have a wider ap-
peal over the 12-month period
than anything else. However,
football, basketball and hockey, in

Picking up their crystal globes
for look into the future, the

HERE'S HOW TO INsULATE YOUR ATTIC
by Theodore Crane
Professor Of Architectural Ensnserna Yols University

Many attics are open, unf1oored
spaces, left only for ventilation.' If
ours had been of this type, would
have placed the insulation on top of
the plaster between the beams, or
joists, which support the ceiling be-
low, instead of insulating the larger
area of the roof For this purpose we
could use any one of the methods
just mentioned, or the space between
the joists could be filled to the desired
depth with a loose or granulated
form of insulation, such as rock wool.
This material is very light and can
rest on the plaster which forms the
ceiling below.
If you wish to apply insulation to
the attic floor, without removing a
flooring already in place, you have
two practical alternatives. You can
take up every fourth or fifth floor
board and lightly push a loose or
granulated type of material into the
space beneath; or you can apply a
