WASHINGTON. D. C Secretary
Ickes of the department of the in
terror suggested this week that Eur
opean industries which have been
"broken up or diverted By the cur
rent waves of intolerance be trans
planted to Alaska for the benefit OF
the United States"
Mr. Ickes.s proposal accompanied
publication of a report by Under
secretary Harry Slattery recon-
mending that the bars of foreign
immigration 10 the Territory be let
down because the present restric-
tions are having a disastrous eject
ON the development and defense OF
Alaska.
Mr.. Ickes said he is convinced by
reports that the artisans now flee
ing Europe could play a key role
in creating a drive toward Alaska
of the various industries which un-
til now have not been fully develop
ed in the United States proper"
IN his final statement on the sub
jeet yesterday, the interior secretary
said, My visit last summer con
WINGED me that the development Of
Alaska can be proportionately as
important to our present economy as
the building OF the west was in the
nineteenth century
Afr. Ickes said the slattery report
shows Alaska has resources of wa
terpower, timber, minerals, fish and
fur upon which a sound Alaskan
economy can be based III is a mat
ter of serious national concern that

that, the current need. based on the

Labor and industry shared equally
in criticism by the board. and in
the pleas of the board for the fullest

said:

Wasteful Practices Cited.
Regarding industry, and the rela-
ton of high costs to building, the
board stated:
High building costs are not due
exclusively to prices of materials
and labor. Equally responsible
among other factors are excessive
waste, faulty construction, poor
methods of distribution, the present
small-scale operation of the build
ing industry. lack of standardiza-
ton, and frequently extravagant
profits of contractors and sales
agents"
The report reviewed the growth
and activities of agencies under the
board, which together constitute
the largest institution dealing with
housing and home mortgage finance
in the United States" These in
clude:

tenn, with its IL regional reserve
banks and their approximately 1000
member savings and loan associa-
tions, savings banks and insurance
companies.

Modern Hot-Wdter
Plant Is Geared
To Weather
Outdoor and Indoor
Controls Provided
Now for Homes

Any one OF a half dozen methods
OF heating will maintain the tenn
perature necessary for living con-
ditions IN the home during the WIN
ter. A log fire in a fireplace or
stove will serve such a purpose
just as they served for our fore
fathers.
But there is vast difference be-
tween merely satisfying the basic
requirements for heated living quar-
ters and, on the other hand, sup
plying measured, uniform and de-
pendable heat so that dwellers may
move freely and comfortably in a
home radiant with warmth.
The achievement of this desired
a improvement, says the Plumbing
and Heating Industries Bureau, has
been brought about only after CEN
turies of development in living
standards.
Plant Geared to Weather.
Recent scientific research has
succeeded in making modern heat
Ing methods as different from OBJ
solete ones as night is from day.
Current improvement in hot-water
heating serves as an illustration of
the continuous advance in the con-
troll of climate.
The modern hot-Water plant is
geared to the weather. This is
another way of saying that the
hot-water heating plant is equip
ped with outdoor as well as indoor
controls. When the outdoor tenn
perature drops, there is instantly
set into motion under the impetus
OF powerful electric pump a flow
OF hot water from the boiler to the
radiators. The flow as we'll as the
temperature of the water Is gradu-
ated in accordance with the outdoor
temperature. When the outdoor
temperature rises, the flow is pro-
portionately reduced.
Steady Flow of Water.
During normal winter weather.
with temperature remaining fairly
constant, a steady flow of warm
water through the radiators is per-
mitted by this automatic system.
Thus the outdoor thermostat not
only throws another log on the
fire." but does so in a manner that
enables the radiators to provide a
steady flow of radiant heat in ex-
act proportion to the heat losses
from every room.
Not only is this heating the last
word in automatic trouble free op-
GRAFTON, but it is highly economical.
Obviously there can be no over
heating with consequent waste of
-@lel. There are no peaks or val
leys in the temperature curve.
No Possibility of Drafts.
With the source of heat, namely,
the radiators, located under the
windows, there is no possibility of
crafts. Cold air is warmed at it's
source.
Another startling contrast be-
tween the heating plant, model
i939, and heating devices of our
forefathers is the method of pro-
Viding the domestic hot water. To-
cay the boiler not only heats the
house, but heats the water for the
!.itchen, laundry and bathroom as
well-and heats it the year around.
No additional equipment is required
for this purpose. The coils for heat
ing the domestic water supply are
built into every automatically fired
boiler.
Because of its low operating cost,
iot-water heating meets the budget
requirements of the builder of a low
cost home. Low maintenance cost
and the long life of the plant are
ether important advantages.

Dealer Conventions
To Hear Plans for
Home Promotion
Retail Lumber Group
Concentrates Drive on
Small Residences

Lumber and building material
dealers all over the country, meet
ing in regional conventions during
the next so days, will hear at first
hand the plans of their national
organization, the National Retail
Lumber Dealers ASSocia ton, for the
promotion of house building and
property improvements during 1899.
Speakers from the headquarters
of the association are scheduled to
appear on the programs of a score
OF these meetings, bringing to these
keymen in the building industry
details of the national small homes
demonstration, sponsored jointly by
the National Retail Lumber Dealers
Association and the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association.
Meetings during the last week of
the Indiana Lumber and Builders
Supply Association in Indianapolis,
the Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's
Association in Philadelphia and the
New Jersey Lumbermen's Associa-
ton in Newark, were addressed by
Don A. Campbell, president of the
national association. and Vincent
Tutching. public relations director
of the organization.
The national small homes DEM
onstration this year will center
around two exhibit dwellings, one
OF which will be built by the spon-
soring groups at the New York
Worlds Fair and the other on some
centrally located site in the National
Capital. The two are typical of the
several houses which architects and
leading home economists have been
at work for several months in COL
laboration with the two associations,
with the objective of creating ideal
low-cost dwellings for families in
the $1,000 to $4,000 a year income
class.
The State regional conventions
also will be given an outline of the
entire public relations program of
the National Retail Lumber Dealers
Association, designed to publicize
housing generally and particularly
in the low-cost field, disseminate
facts relating to building costs, SIM
pllfled financing plans and private
industry's contributions to the field
OF loW-cost housing.
Also to be outlined to the conven-
tions will be the part the national
group is playing in the formation
OF housing legislation during the
current session of Congress.
The conventions at which repre-
sentatives of the national associa-
ton will speak include also the
