New Ways Discovered
To Aid Home Comfort

Few people realize how many diff
ferent factors affect living comfort
which any house offers its inhabi-
tants. So say investigators of the
problems of home comforts, first in
the laboratory and then in a typi-
Cal three-Story frame house built
Tor the purpose at the University of
ILLINOIS engineering experiment sta
ton.
The station frankly admits it still
hasn't found out all there is to know
about ways of keeping warm in win
ter and cool In summer without
spending too much money for fuel or
refrigeration. It lists, however, in
a bulletin some of the variations in
details of home construction which,
slngly or in combination, may make
the calculation of a proper heating
system for year-round comfort Who'll
ly different in one house from what
1t is In another. The list includes not
only generally recognized points
such as wall thicknesses, pitch of
roof, type of roof covering, proper
ton of total window area to wall
area, but details such as character
OF soil and character of internal
wall coverings.
A house built in a region of dense,
clay soil will lose more heat, partic-
ularly in the case of a bungalow
resting directly on the ground, with
no cellar, than one standing on a
sandy or loamy soil, according to
the tests.
The tests have further proved that
there is no advantage in high-ceil-
mged home design, while there is
a definite disadvantage of increased
costs, longer stair flights, and great
er heating expense in winter. Mod
ern methods of construction and
proper internal air circulation make
it possible to keep Just as cool in
summer in a house with an eight
foot ceiling as in the old-time Is
foot ceilinged room.
Attic exhaust fans for drawing the
warm air out at the top of the house
and letting cool air rise up from
below; awnings; the use of double
windows all the year round; better
roof insulation as well as wall inSu-
lation; and the use of blower fan
10 circulate cool air throughout the
house have been proved sufficient in
small homes to maintain indoor
comfort even in the hottest weather.

Buffalo Set Trail
For Western Trek
Path of Least Resistance
Found by animals.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.-The BIZ
son made trail centuries ago which
was followed by the Indians, then
by Spanish explorers, later by pio-
neerS going west and finally by
builders who stretched the first rail-
roads across the continent,
Proof of that fact has been
brought out in the research prompt
ed by the Cuarto centennial celebra
ton of the expedition in 1910 led by
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, the
first Spanish explorer to lead par
ty into what now is southwest con-
tinental United States.
The great buffalo herds, number
ing thousands, rOamed the plains
and moved with the seasons across
the mountain ranges to the mesas
and the valleys The Indians, learn
ing that the bison followed the east
est routes, began to trod these buff
falo trails in search of food and shell
ter
Later came the explorers. Coro-
nado blazed his trail, which extend
ed from the west coast of Mexico
north to Arizona, across New Mex
leo. Texas and Oklahoma into Kan
sas. Along the way he generally fol-
lowed the Indian trails and paths
made by the buffalo herds.
Nearly three centuries later came
the westward movement In the
United States and these same
routes, because they followed the
same paths of least reSiStance-it-
erally-became the Santa Fe. Slim
son, Loving, Goodnight and CHS
holm trailS-the transcontinental
stagecoach routes.
Finally the steel bands of the rail-
roads we're laid down across the des-
ert country of the Southwest and
when the builders came to the noun
tain ranges, they, too. found that
the buffalo had found the easiest
route Highways and tracks now
follow, in many instances, the routes
laid out by the bisons, and traversed
by the Indians, explorers, trappers
and pioneers.

Japan Honors Descendants
Of New England Skipper

VANCOUVER. B.. C.-Three mem
bers of a New England seafaring
family arrived here from Japan.
where they were honored guests Of
the Japanese government-all be-
cause their Whaling-skipper ances-
tor LOO years ago rescued five Jap
aneSe fishermen from Pacific islet.
They were W. D. Whitfield, 26-
year-old great-grandson of the late
Capt William H. Whitfield, who res
cued the Japanese castaways; his
mother, Mrs T. W. Whitfield, and
Mrs. A. w. Omey, the daughter Of
Captain Whitfield. All are from
Fairhaven, Mass. This year, on the
Tooth anniversary of the rescue Of
the five Japanese according to the
Japanese calendar, the three were
invited by the Oriental Cultural So
ciety, on behalf of the Japanese gov
eminent, to visit Japan at its ex-
penSe.

u. s. Itinerant Workers
Replace Farm Hands

There is new vanishing Ameri-
can" He is the hired man on the
nations farms.
The Alabama state extension serv-
ice reports that more than a NIL
lion workers move from farm to
farm and state to state following the
crops. They have virtually supplant-
ed the hired man of old through
out the nation.
First these nomads of the soil
converge on Florida for the new
harvest season, where they remain
until late spring.
They follow the harvest up the
Atlantic coast, gathering crops in
Georgia. South Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware. New Jersey
and New York.
They start the southwark trek
again in the fall. Others leave Flor
ida in the spring to pursue the
harvest up the Mississippi valley.
They work on crops along the Gulf
to louisiana, in Arkansas, Kentucky
and Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois
and Ohio. Michigan and along the
edge Of Lake Erie.
Other groups of wandering farm
workers are found similarly follow
ing the harvest seasons on the West
coast, working northward toward
Canada, then returning southwark.

Right Foods Important
For Humans or Animal,

The human diet can be figured in
much the same way as that for an
animal; and foods with the right
amounts OF minerals and vitamins
are just as necessary for the de-
velopment of boys and girls as for
that OF cows and chickens.
This is the statement of Lorna
Barber of the. New York state col
lege of home economics who urges
care in eating foods essential for
health.
The American diet is apt to be
weak IN calcium. iron, iodine. and
vltamlns A, B, and c, she points
out.
Most adults can take care Of
their needs for calcium by using a
pint of milk a day; children should
use about quart Calcium is most
easily obtained from milk, but
. cheese and vegetables also provide
some. For more iron in the diet
consider vegetables. fruits. eggs and
liver Iodine is general in sea food
and only in certain areas is it lack
ing in the soil and water"
To protect the individual from
night blindness and for better health
Miss Barber emphasizes vitamin A
Generous amounts are in whole
milk. butter, eggs. liver, green and
yellow vegetables and fruits. For
enough vitamin B. which helps to
maintain 4 normal. healthy, nerv-
Gus system and aids the BODY IN
use the energy from sugar and
starches. get plenty of whole grain
products. thin leafy vegetables. and
liver"
For vitamin c.. citrus fruits and
tomatoes are valuable sources: al
though some fruits, cabbage and
other green. leafy vegetables con-
tain an ample supply" she explains
"A liberal supply of vitarnin c aids
in all-around health. defends against
infection. and hardens bones and
teeth"
Sunlight and Ash liver oil are In.
best sources Of vitamin D, Miss Bar
Der says. This vitamin is neces-
sary in the diet Of children, because
it acts with calcium and phosohor-
rs to manufacture bones and teeth

Early Smelling Tool

Among the relics exhibited at the
museum of the Fredericksburg and
Spotsylvania National Military park,
in Virginia. is tool for opening old
iron smelling furnaces. This was
picked up on a farm near the pre-
Civil war Catherine furnace. The
tool was used to unstop the vent,
filed with clay. to let out the melted
ore after blasting The ore then ran
into a trough called the old sow"
and from that into smaller troughs
called little pigs" Hence was de-
rived the name pig IRON" Near the
spot where the relic was picked up
were fought the Battle of Chancel
louisville In 1868 and the Battles Of
the Wilderness and Spotsylvania the
next year.

Simplicity is the keynote of the

the ''meal-on-the-tray' has become
so popular.
Plan your Sunday supper around

meal, with the exception of the hot
rolls, requires last minute prepara-

especially attractive center piece for

How Handeiapping Originates

Applause in one form or another
is probably nearly as old as civiliza-
ton. Clapping the hands is among
the most natural ways Of applaud
ing. In fact applaud" itself comes
from two Latin words meaning to
strike together. Nobody can say
when the custom began. An untu-
tored child instinctively expresses
delight by clapping its hands. The
ancient Greeks and Romans ap-
plauded by handclapping as well as
by swapping their fingers and wav.
ing their garments.
