and burns up all kinds of trash with
no difficulty whatever.
The outfit we saw is sturdily
built arrangement that holds about
two bushels Of material. A conven-
lent lid on the top side makes 1t an
easy matter to make the deposit, and
flts down tightly so that no traces
of unpleasantness can get out into
the house. A gas burner under.
meath the main receptacle does the
job of drying the stun out and I'm
ally burning 1t up into a negligible
ash.
As a special added attraction Z
separate compartment has been in
cluded for the disposal of garbage.
Another gadget which should find
q place under your Christmas tree
is an electric serving dish which
keeps food warm over hot water.
This device will pay dividends to
the husband who is oftentimes late
for meals. and regardless Of the
hour he will be able to have q fine,
hot dinner.
The bottom part of the warmer
which holds the heater and water
supply is made Of shiny chromium
plated metal. and two heat-proof
glass inserts hold the food. These
glass pans also can be used to bake
food If you should happen to want
to whip up q compact dinner with
out starting up the kitchen stove.

BY LAWRENCE CROL1US.

The practice of boiling people In
oil back in the Middle Ages has 4
modern counterpart in the shutting
off of the cold water when a per-
son is standing under a shower
bath. Few things can cause 50 much
discomfort, and oftentimes suffer-
ing, like the scalding deluge Of hot
water.
Every time q person takes d show
er, providing, of course, there Is an
ample supply Of very hot water, he
runs the risk of this unexpected
cooking. and practically nothing has
been done in the past to eliminate
the difficulty. Those who value
their comfort a little more highly
than their ancestors now are INSTALL
ing a clever little mixing valve
which makes it impossible for this
to happen.
BY attaching the mixing valve to
the hot and cold water supply lines,
then running the shower supply
pipe from there you can now relax
beneath the shower and know that
it will shut itself of If the cold wa
ter supply goes down. A single han
die controls both water supplies,
and it ranges from cold on through
to an adequate hot. The maximum
hot water temperature may be reg
ulated separately when the valve
is installed, and slight readjust-
ment can be made at any time.
The idea of the valve is pretty in
teresting because it is based on the
simple theory Of not allowing hot
water to flow II there is no cold wa
ter on the other side of a little
shuttle valve. 1t also serves the
purpose Of compromising for va
riations In water pressure, thereby
maintaing nicely equalized tenn
perature, without your having to
tune in on various valves as you
alternately freeze and boil.
We admit it doesn't sound very
handsome, but your house probably
would enjoy getting a nice new base
ment incinerator for Christmas.
Certainly the poor person who has
to take a trip out into the snow
these raw winter days to deposit
refuse would appreciate a contriv-
ance which remains in the cellar

Qualify Plumbing

Emphasis PIoesd on
Maximum Dollar
vuIue and Efficiency

With most Of the present building
activity concentrated in the small
home field, manufacturers Of plumb
ing fixtures have been active in de-
veloping equipment that will meet
the needs Of builders Of low-cost
homes, says the Plumbing and Heat
ing Industries Bureau
More than two-thirds of all homes
financed through insured mortgages
under the r. H. A. plan had house.
and-lot valuations ranging from 49,
900 to $1,000, and about half Of the
borrowers had incomes under $2.500
annually, according to recent Gov
eminent reports.
Thus to the major proportion OF
the residential market, low cost is
vital. At the same time, the stand
ards which have been set up by the
F. H. A. as well as private lending
agencies require materials OF high
quality.
Thus today residential building is
being directed by more effective
guide posts than ever before to in
sure that the owner gets many years
of comfortable living out Of the resi-
dence constructed for him.

Widow Enjoined
From Annoying
Undertakes

Mrs. Louis c. McKenna, 1907 r

a temporary injunction, signed by
Justice Oscar r. Luhring in District
Court, from annoying Mrs. B. Birch
Haycock, 1904 M street NV, trading
as Joseph F. Birchs Sons, under
takers, by repeated calls on the tele-
phone or otherwise.
After hearing the complaint, JUS
tice Lurhing found that Mrs. Nc
Kenna, for whom the undertaking
parlor had conducted funeral serv-
ices for her husband on February
"A, 1886, has "wrongfully, willfully
and maliciously interfered with. an

Quoted by Mrs. Haycock and has
annoyed members of her family.
Mrs. McKenna has been guilty of
disorderly conduct in her use of the

Luhring found.
The court was informed that Mrs.
McKenna, shortly after her hus-
bands burial, began to "harass,
annoy and interfere" with the plain
till and her business and began
calling her on the telephone every
IS to IS minutes. This has become
particularly acute during the last
nine months. the complainant said.

Reciprocal Patt Favored
In Traffic Violations

Our-of town motorists arrested in
the District, Maryland or Virginia
for minor traffic violations would
not be jailed for lack of cash COL
lateral, but would be released under
some reciprocal plan to be worked
out by the authorities of the three
Jurisdictions, 1t has been suggested
to William A. Van DuZer, District
traffic director.
Mr.. Van Duzer explained today
that he had long favored such plan,
to ease the burden of out-of town
motorists who are caught without
sufficient cash to keep themselves
out of jail. He said he had been
told conference on the subject was
in prospect and he would be glad to
confer with Virginia and Maryland
officials at any time.
The traffic director was informed
that Walter R. Rudy, Maryland mo-
tor vehicle commissioner, and M. S.
Battle, Virginia commissioner of
motor vehicles, favored a reciprocal
agreement. Mr.. Van Duzer said it
was his understanding that District
law would permit such agreements,
though he did not know what the
laws of the two States provided.
One of the plans suggested is to
allow minor traffic violators to de-
post their permits in lieu of cash
bail. MIR. Van Duzer pointed out
that few motorists on short trips
carry enough cash to put up col
lateral in case they are arrested for
some infraction of the regulations.

Two Bandit Suspects,
One a Bridegroom,
FACE Police Line-Up
Youth Arrested as He
Sits Down to Turkey
Dinner With Bride

Two youthful bandit suspects, one
Of whom was seized as he sat down
to his Thanksgiving turkey yester-
day with his 16-year-old bride of a
few days, will be paraded at police
headquarters tonight before victims
of recent holdups in which more
than $500 was taken.
Police called the pair the blue
bandanna" robbers because the
leader wore q blue handkerchief
over the lower part of his face. De-
tectives E. E. Thompson and James
E. Kane arrested the bridegroom
yesterday at his father-i laws
home, on farm at Sewell, N. j.
The officers said they left the
young bride in tears when they de-
parted with her husband. The
couple was married at Elkton, Md,
on Saturday, police said, and had
returned to the girls home after a
honeymoon in Washington and Phil
adelphia.
Suspect in $3.50 Robbery.
The last lob" in which the BRIDE
groom is suspected was the $3.50
robbery of store at North Cap
itol street and Seaton place on
Tuesday night. Detectives picked
up the first suspect on the following
morning.
The officers said the girl apparent
ly knew nothing of the robberies, al
though she was believed to have
been in Washington at the time
they were committed. She was not
arrested or brought here.
The 23-year-old bridegroom is a
former student at one of Pennsyl-
vanias largest colleges. He had
served time in Pennsylvania prison
for larceny of an automobile, the
detectives said. Police said they
found a blue handkerchief in his
possession.
Investigators said the two youths
are believed to have pulled" at
least 10 hold-ups in the past two
weeks.
