These figures were obtained from
Assistant State Forester w. z. Meteor

Mr.. Mccormick said that with the
growing demand for fire protection,
due largely to increasing interest in
pulp wood, the Departments force and

reading our next suggestion why
don't you 60 down In the basement
and see if there is q hum,dider of
the pan type hanging around some
where? Hidden in the top of the
old heater you win probably find a
rusty old pan or possibly . cast-iron
arrangement will be found nesting
alongside the fire door.
By adding an automatic water
valve to that pan you can convert
that long lost humidiher into an
active part OF the heating system
The main trouble with the old pan
being, as you know. the great bother
of remembering to fill the device
when it ran dry, not to mention
the bother Of having to constantly
check the water level.
A low-cost automatic feeder valve
win put your humidifier pan right
on its feet, in fact, and will main
tain q constant level of as little as
l inch of water ut all times. A float
operated valve feeds water when
1t becomes necessary by evapora =
tion, and q small, easily adjusted
thumbscrew enables you to adjust
the depth of the water which you
want TO maintain. The little valve
is protected by q Monel metal screen

renters today and home owners to-
morrow, or vice versa. Thus, in
crease in the number of telephone
installations for business or private
use indicates either a need brought
about by expansion of business or
convenience made possible by In
creased earnings. The gain or loss
in electric meter installation appears
to be parallel to the expansion of
new building activities. However,
here We must take into considera-
ton the fact that some multiple
dwellings having previously pur-
chased this utility through one me-
ter are discontinuing this practice
and requiring tenants to have indi-
vidual meters installed, and like
hidden assumptions and relative ef-
fects are true of gas meters.
Rental value cannot rise in di-

curves, but must find its own level.

SHOE ON OTHER FOOT
On the contrary, he declared,

naval building may constitute a
menace to Japan.
The spokesman then went on to
criticise other statements made
by Leahy in his testimony before
the American House Naval Affairs
Committee. He declared:
Admiral Leahy'S statement
that Japan is planning Il cap
ital ships is based on imagina-
ton. Our program has not been
published.
Admiral Leahy's assertion
that we are building 43,000-ton
battleships, based on an Italian
report, is groundless.

are the greatest sea powers in

they have started building.

U.S.. Buying
Due Study
BySenGte

G.N.SO A comprehensive study
of Government purchasing looking
toward a planned economy ano
elimination of business recesSions
has been launched by the Sen
ate Labor Committee, Chairman
Thomas CD of Utah disclosed
today.
The committee has approved a
joint resolution sponsored by
Thomas calling upon the Bureau
of Labor Statistics to report on all
Government purchases on record
Thomas estimated the study will
require six months.
FACTS OBSCURE
1--WE don't know just what the
facts are, but If statistics we're
available we might be able to
plan the spending so as to
eliminate some minor receSSions
and influence them generally"
Thomas said.
Everything depends on what
the results of such a study are,
but in order to work out any
planned economy the first thing
is a study of this nature" the
chairman added.
He suggested also that such an
inquiry may have a bearing on
price-fixing and price-control.
BOOM OR SLUMP
IF the Government had the
proper information about its
own purchases, it might be able
pretty well to control minor
business recessions by proper
distribution of purchases"
Thomas said.
'"The Government is the big
gest purchaser of some products,
but we don't know for sure
which ones. Perhaps it is ce-
ment because of Government
road building, dam building, and
public works. In what industry
there may be a boom for two
months and then 10 months of
slack times? We don't know
lust what the facts are"
