metallic insulation, or insulating board
or both, to the upper surface of the
floor. There are many other methods
used by firms specializing in this work
but these two can be done easily by
the home owner.
Whatever type of insulation we use,
it is important to stop up any air
leaks. Many times, actual cracks exist
where walls and roof come together.
The bats, which you can easily cut,
can be used to fill large spaces. but for
packing small openings the loose mate
rial is very convenient.
There is no reason why insulation
should be confined to the roof. For
the new house l would recommend
applying an appropriate treatment to
the entire exterior. But for the house
already built, the attic not only pre-
sents the easiest job for the home
owner to do himself, but it is the place
where his most serious heat loss
usually occurs.

THIS, in part, is the story Of

These dollars are kept continuously
employed, earning more dollars
and thus helping to pay the cost
of your life insurance.
But your life insurance COM

when the need arises, the dollars

true of yellow, pink and light tints as

Black fatters the stout and emaciates

Along with this illusion in which
brightness expands and darkness con-

and the emptiness of shadow. Light
holsters the spirit and makes a street

gaiety, while darkness has subduing
tendency. -FABeR biRREN

11EEPlNG out heat in summer and
saving fuel in winter is the two
= fold object of insulating homes.
There are many efficient methods of
putting insulation in houses that are
already built, and several are so simple
that the home owner can do the work
himself.
My own case is an example. My
attic, under a slate roof, was un-
pleasantly hot in summer and so cold
that it chilled the upstairs rooms in
winter. BY mailing an insulating board
to the rafters supporting the roof we
not only improved temperature condi-
tions but furnished an attractive
ceiling The light weight sheets of
fiber board were of standard thick
ness - about one half inch. After
saving them to the right length with
an ordinary wood saw it was simple
matter to nail them against the under
sides of the roof rafters. We started at
the level of the attic floor and applied
the sheets one after the other up to the
underside of the ridge.
i'll had wanted to 60 step further.
we could have packed lightweight
insulating material between the rafters
before mailing on the fiber board. This
would have been somewhat more
costly, but much more efficient in
keeping out heat or cold. For this pur-
pose a number of manufacturers
prepare their materials in the form of
bats" two to four inches thick,
about eight inches wide and of the
correct length to fit snugly b<N'veen
rafters or floor beams. Some types are
resilient enough to stay in place even
under sloping roof until the fiber
board or other covering is applied;
others are mounted upon waterproof
backing which is nailed to the adjoin-
ing woodwork to hold them in place.
If the gable ends of the attic are of
wood construction they are given the
same treatment as the roof. the in
sulating bats being placed in the
spaces between the vertical posts. or
studs, which form the exterior wall.
If the gables are of masonry. which
was the case in my own house. you
can leave them unfinished as did.
Or, if you wish to insulate them. strips
of wood, two inches square. called
''furring." can be placed vertically
against the wall, extending from the
attic floor to the underside of the roof.
and nailed to the joints. Leave sixteen
inches space from the center of one
board to the center of the next. and
layer of insulating bats, two inches
thick, can then be placed between the
strips. Fiber board, or some other
appropriate material. can then be
easily nailed onto the Turing strips.
There are, of course. other salts
factory methods such as metallic in
sulatiorh either in sheets or in the form
of paper thin foil. These are very
effective in preventing the passage of
radiant heat and some of them can be
applied by the home owner.
