Do not dampen clothes too
far in advance of summer IRON

readily in warm weather than
in winter. If the ironing has to
be postponed, carefully shake
out all damp articles to dry.
They may easily be resprinkled.

New Development
In Screening.
There is a new and interesting

broad and set at an angle; the
vertical wires are the usual width

of the horizontal wires serves to

You may spend a great deal or

ing on your selection and whether
you are investing for several months
or several years installation. All
well-meaning statesmen to the con-
trary, it is not wise to purchase
Venetian blinds, awnings or shades
with the idea that they may be re-
fitted or remade for another house
1t just does not work out that way.
You are apt to find a modern steel

Color is important in seeking

outfits, 1t is liable to peel like the

Beach Manners
Are Important.
At pool or beach, both fellows and
girls will remember that the mark of
good manners is consideration for
others. No racing up and down the
beach, kicking sand in other peoples
faces No loud believing or hys-
terical screeching. No ducking of
tlmld bathers, splashing of spec
tators, or other juvenile horse play.
Informality is the word-but not
barbarity.
Rules and regulations at SWIM

but by authorities responsible for
the welfare and safety of the gen.
eral public. You'll show that you
really know your way around by
observing such regulations to the
letter.
You may be perfectly capable Of
swimming out beyond the life lines
in safety, but when the lifeguard
calls you back, you'll come back.
The next swimmer who attempts
the stunt may not be as good as
you are and the guard can't make
exceptions.
Customs differ in various places
as to wearing slacks or robes over
swimming suits while en- route to
the water. or when visiting shops
along the beach. Whatever the GUS
toms are, observe them. If in doubt,
slip on a robe. Nobody ever was
stared at for being a little on the
conservative side.

outdoors) and radiation Cheat from
the sun carried by the radiant rays.
The effects of convection are avoid
ed by keeping your windows closed
during the day and opening them to
the cooler night air. Conduction is
blocked by insulation in your walls
and roof; the same insulation that
keeps your house warm in winter.
AS far as radiation is concerned. If
you keep out the suns rays you also
keep out the heat they bear.
Protect Openings
OF House.
The openings to the house, win
dows and doors, must be protected.
A permanent form of solar protec-
ton can be achieved by building a
marquee. Correctly designed with
due regard to orientation, a marquee
cuts of the rays of the sun in sum-
mer, but does not block the rays of
the winter sun which is lower in the
heavens. Temporary adjustable pro-
lection is supplied by awnings, blinds
and shutters. In making your choice
you will be guided by your equity in
your home, whether it Is yours per-
manently or under long lease, or
whether you have rented it with the
idea that it may be for short time
only. Also you must consider the
architecture of the house and the
type of windows. If you have out
swinging easements you will require
hipped or high awnings. In-swing-
ing windows would be a great trial
with venetian or slat blinds. For
arched windows special round-head-
ed awnings are made. The good old
fashioned outside shutters that
grandmother used to close on
glaring summer afternoons are old
in years of satisfactory service and
still soften the light, making rest

summers over, you'Il have branded
yourself either as bathing bore, or
swimming smoothie.
You take the first step toward the
success or failure of your aquatic
adventures when you choose your
suit. Consider the sad experience of
Vera, for instance. Last Fourth of
July week end, she was invited to
house party at shore cottage, and
| her latest crush was also in the

and invested considerable cash in a
neat little number of a white rub
berized fabric.
Came time for the first dip. Vera
put the suit on. took look in the
mirror, and knew that the battle was
won. For five happy minutes-until
she actually got into the Water-she
was on top of the world. Then there
were cries of dismay, and an undig-
nified retreat to the cottage, with
borrowed robe wound tightly around
her.
Blighted Romance and
Ruined Week End.
Once good and wet, the white suit
became just little too daring to be
worn. Vera did no more swimming
that week end. She sat dismally on
the beach while her would-be heart
throb sported iii the breakers with
a dizzy blond. And the fact that
Vera eventually got her money back
on the suit was poor consolation for
a ruined week end and a blighted
romance.
The really smart miss avoids ex-
trames in bathing garb, just as she
does in her other clothes. She
chooses a becoming color, and a
not t-too-outrageous cut. She refuses
to be fashioned, but she also re-
fuses to be stampeded into making a
spectacle of herself. She remembers
| that a boy-even while wearing a
pretty scanty pair of trunks himself
is apt to be conservative about the
costume a girl wears. Particularly if
he is at all interested in the girl!

And thousands of men have been

So you see what dangerous posi-

SEE KINGSPORT AS MODEL TOWN

NEW YORK, July 22-A Hook at" Kingsport, Tenn, was given by Governor Cooper of Tennes- see as he closed a speech this afternoon at the Tennessee Day celebration at the Worlds Fair.
 That industrial community is model for the world" he de- clared. There as 36,000 people living in Kingsport and it's su- burbs. Most of them are home owners. Yet in the past 12 years only three families have lost their homes. Though some of the largest industrial plants in the country are there. the town has never known a strike. It has nev CT had a business failure.
 "Kingsport gained 10 per cent a year all through the depression and it builds a school house ev- cry year. The reason for that ideal situation is that everything is planned, the numerous indus tries are diversified and every worker gets a fair wage for an honest days work. There is no other town on earth with a re- cord like that of Kingsport or where such a large percentage of the people ae happy. Kings port is attracting the attention of the country. It is another Ten nessee contribution to progress and happiness"

 The Washington representative arrived here with a travelling companion, Clyde Shrauger of Mount Vernon. They are part ners in mining operations.
 His present tour is the congress mans first trip to Alaska.

 Conditions he has found in Al aska have made him appreciative of what it must mean to Outsid- CTS who have no notion whatso- ever as to life and industry in the Territory to see the country, he said.
 "To the world at large, Alaska is still unfortunately pictured as barren stretches of snow and ice.

Not for an instant would we favor
anv sort of ban on the use of our

Opponents of expansion contend
the city would be obligated to eX-
tend water and sewer connections
to all sections annexed. There GER
tainly would be some obligations in
that direction. But there are many
parts of the area now within the

no sleep over its failure to provide
them. If there is no compulsion In
che instance, why or how would
there be in the other?
It is not our purpose in these OBJ
servations to instigate hardships or

henderson extends its city limits or
