If you haven't already looked at
this seasons crop of air condition.
ers you will be amazed to see how
compact and good looking they are.
Instead Of the giant cabinets of
yesteryear, the modern machines
are housed in surprisingly small
castings of attractive, unobtrusive
design. They are also arranged for
mounting in windows, in many
cases, making it possible for you
to completely condition a bed
room or average sized living room
and still not clutter up the place
with cumbersome machinery.
One of these air conditioners we
saw recently is housed in an at
tractively designed cabinet of wal
nut just wide enough to fill the
lower part of an ordinary sized
window. No plumbing connections
of any kind are required to put this
unit into operation, nor is it nee
essary for elaborate wiring con-
nections to be made. In fact, you
need merely plug it in like a radio,
and in a few minutes cool breeze
is being circulated gently around
the room.
Those of you who like to find out
how things work will be interested
to know that the unit does this
remarkable job by pulling in air
from the outside and circulating
it over a refrigeration machine
which extracts the heat from the
room air. AS this warmed air is
expelled to the great out-of doors
again, it also takes with it the
moisture which formerly made the
room pretty sitting, and was con-
densed on the cooling coil. Another
fan circulates the room air through
the unit, and moves it around the
room so that the proud owner is
kept cool and comfortable on even
the most sultry days.
The cost of these cooling units
has also been brought down so that
even the most modest home or
apartment can well afford the lux

mon rate higher than 7 per cent.
This was not true even six months
ago. Vestige of the old regionalism
in mortgage money supply, 61a per
cent rate is still shown as common
by three cities in every hundred, and
a Z per cent rate in one city out OF
every hundred. Regions where they
remain are the Southeast, the South
Central, the Northwest, the South
west.
Coming rates are an important
question. Interest rate reported as
expected in remaining months of the
year: New York (Manhattan), Az

Chicago, 5 per cent: Milwaukee, AZ

Omaha, 41a-512 per cent; Elizabeth,

Northwest, 60 per cent?. The survey
thus reflects distribution situation
as to real estate capital that is new
to the countrys financial history.
Falling interest rates are shown in
AZ per cent of the cities and rising
rates in only 2 per cent No city of
more than 100000 population has
rising rates.
Falling rates are most frequent
in the South Central section (49 per
cent of the cities, Great Lakes re-
gion (46 per cent?, New England (45
per cent?, and the Southeast section,
(42 per cent?.
The per cent rate is gaining on
the per cent rate, and is within an
inch of supplanting it as the most
widely prevailing rate for new mod
crate priced homes. In AZ per cent
of the cities the per cent rate is
still commonest, in Al per cent of the
cities the per cent rate is common

as common for new moderately
priced dwellings in at least 3 per

Instruction Problem
Facing Guard Units

With the sudden increase in the
enlisted strength of the National
Guard the problem Of providing
sufficient Regular Army personnel
for service as instructors Of the Ma
tional Guard units, Is furnishing 4
serious problem, it was said.
Instructors, now assigned to Guard
units, are burdened with multiple
duties, but with new units being
organized ways are being sought to
provide the necessary regular per-
sonnet for instruction purposes. It
was said that the problems of the
Guardsmen have been likewise in
creased by the orders for field
maneuvers during the winter and
for extra drills. In some cases, 1t
was asserted, the problem of In
struction in the field can be tempo
rari1y filled by sending the Guards
men to Regular Army posts where
personnel is quartered. But there
are many units throughout the
country who will not have regular
posts available and must depend
on instructors being sent to advise
with them on the naneuvers and
the instruction.
Some months ago 1t was estimated
that approximately 100 additional
Regular Army omcers would be
necessary to instruct the National
Guard properly. This figure was
determined even before the sudden
orders issued for the increase IN
personnel and for the additional
drill periods and winter field
exercises. Perhaps this figure would
be greatly increased, 1t was indi-
Gated.
Aside from the Regular Army
officers 1t was also pointed out that
the Guard is suffering greatly from
a great lack Of sergeant instructors.
These are in addition to the COM
missioned officers, and aid them in
their work Of watching Of the train
ing Of the National Guard units,
both In their armory work and dur.
ing the flsld training.
