BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

It's hard to think Of anything
much more irritating than to have
the supply OF hot water suddenly run
out when you are In the middle Of q
fine shower bath. As you all know,
it nearly always happens when the
bather is completely covered with
soap, and the resulting shouts are
subject to strict censorship. These
failures aren't limited to being
caught in the shower. either, and
every housewife has had to suffer
through stack Of greasy dishes At
one time or another with tepid
water.
This situation is all brought about
by the rather dubious hot-water
heaters installed in so many homes,
both large and small. The average
heater of a few years back was 4
pretty makeshift affair. Many homes
have little "scuttle- a day" coal heat

ers which have to be watched period
ically or out they will 60. Other
homes boast Of the so-called side
arm gas heaters connected to . stor-
age tank. which supply q lot Of hot
water, but do it somewhat uneco-
nomically, and most of the modern
dwellings are equipped with auto
matte units Of either the instanta-
neous type or storage tank style.
The merits of the storage type are
fairly widely known by now, and
thousands Of people find that they
supply . constant amount Of hot
water very cheaply. The instanta-
neous unit. on the other hand, is be-
coming more and more popular. and

Gouqinq Cost Of Home

One of the first steps in building
or buying home is to decide what
type of home one wants and can
afford, Federal Housing Admins
tration officials say. Keeping the
home investment within two to two
and half times the buyers annual
income is wise rule to follow, they
point out.

screens, but possibly you are going
to Florida this winter or getting
ready for next spring already, the
way the dress manufacturers do
Anyway this screen which has been
shown to us is SO clever that we
are sure you will like to hear about
1t regardless of the season.
Combining the work of pest pre-
vention with sun shading, this
screen Is truly unique. It is installed
outside the window and because 1t
Is constructed of large number Of
horizontal fiat bronze strips, set at
an angle, it does an excellent Job

Of preventing the direct rays Of the
sun from entering the room.
You now wonder how flies and
other introducers Of the winged type
are kept out. Well, that is done
by a series of vertical bronze wires
SO spaced as to form fairly fine
mesh screen In conjunction with
the horizontal Stats. Thus both jobs
are effectively done by one screen
and another milestone In the battle
against the elements has been
passed, or something.

REID SAYS RESOURCES
SOUE o. OF WEALTH

The nations natural resources were
declared by Mr.. Reid, general manag'
err Of the Izaak Walton League OF
America, to be the real source of all
national wealth. He pointed out that
the program Of the Izaak Walton Lee
que was not designed, as enormously
believed by some, merely to provide
more fish to catch and game to shoot
but that it went down to the very fun.
damentals of the problem of providing
a suitable outdoor environment by in
telligent conservation of all natural
resources and that it's program was so
basic that it benefited every citizen
in America regardless of whether he
or she may personally participate in
the sports of fishing Or hunting
"Good fish and game crops.' said
Mr.. Reid "are natural by-product OF
sound land management and 1ntelli.
gent conservation of all natural re-
sources. Without the proper evron
ment it is futile to hope for any real
Improvement III either hunting OF
fishing"
He described the league as an I'M
selfish national conservation organi
zation in which the incentive for
membership was not what one might
get out of it for himself, but rather
what one could put into it for the
common good to the end that America
might be better land in which to
live.
81 have frequently been asked, -
said Mr.. Reid, why should 1 join
the Izaak Walton League when 1 don It
fish or hunt9 If these people would
|acquaint themselves with the worth
while program of the Izaak Walton
League of America and then devote
five minutes of their time to serious
thought, the answer to such questions
would be readily apparent to them.
The conservation problem is as broad
as the land and in its more important
phases it recognizes no man1made pol.
itical boundaries, such as county or
state lines. The federal government
owns today more than four million
acres and this area embraces, by all
odds, the greatest opportunity for
enjoyment of healthful outdoor re-
creation for future generations of Am
orleans. The management of these
lands-and all running water, wheth-
er on private or public lands is not
perogative or the responsibility of
local communities, counties, or ev-
en- states, but Of the federal govern
ment in Washington. There are purely
local conservation problans, to be sure
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1939-11-23

and there are state conservation prob
lems, but the most vitality important
ones are neither state nor local, but
national in scope and they can be
handled through national action.
Those who would exploit our natural
resources for private profit Or politi-
cal expediency, fully recognize the ma
tional aspect and maintain their well
financed national organizatios to pro-
tect their interests. Unfortunately
only small percentage of tho
sportsmen and the conservation st +.
have awakened to the necessity for
well organized national action in Or
der to combat on an even footing the
organized forces of d es truct 10 n.
Through its local chapters the La
ak Walton League is equipped to deaf
with local problems; through and
its state divisions, the state problems;
and in addition through the national
organization the force of all these un-
its is coordinated on a definite long
time program for intelligent conser-
walton of the nation g national re-
sources.
When you really stop to think
through on the subject on might just
az well ask the question: Why should
be citizen of the United States
why not just citizen of Center coun.
ty9 Those who are sincerely interested
in sane conservation must realize the
absolute necessity Of program and
action beyond county or state lines
The Izaak Walton League offers a med
ium for such action in an effective
way and its splendid program repre-
sents indeed the religion Of decent
outdoors.
