NORFOLK, Va, July 20.-Real
estate activity throughout the State
continued its upward swing the
past week when 4O2 recorded deeds
in five population centers gave new
owners possession of property valued
at 81 1885 ,180, according to the Vir-
ginia Real Estate Association.
The preceding week 435 deeds
conveyed realty valued at $1,311,172.

These fans are also available with

their cost Is somewhat higher than

we are advised that they will operate
with q current cost about one-half

Have you ever noticed how much

public rooms are than others? The
clatter Of dishes and chatter of
conversation is successfully ouelled
and the atmosphere is certainly a
much pleasanter and more soothing
one. II you will look up at the
ceiling you can more than likely
see the reason for this fine condi-
tion OF peace and quet, because it
has probably been covered with one
OF the new acoustic sound insulat-
Ing materials. These materials are
basically the same as the wallboards
which are now being used so ex-
tensively for home construction ex-
cept that they are perforated, CIV
Ing them an amazing sound-ab-
sorbing ability.
Your home can use this new type
OF sound conditioning to great ad-
vantage, too. Take your game
room, for instance. With the CELL
ing covered with this acoustic ma
terial your children can whoop and
holler to their hearts content and

Its way upstairs. Your kitchen is

Painting Concrete Floors

Concrete floors on porches, stoops,
garages and basement recreation
rooms may easily be freshened with
colorful paints. A reliable formula
is primer coat of floor enamel in
the color selected, thinned with
linseed oil or turpentine in accord
ance with directions. Allow to dry
and then apply a second and third
coat of the same enamel full body.

MERRY GO ROUND

Probably the best campaigning
among the Roosevelt children was
done by Franklin Jr., whose wife is
Ethel dupont, daughter of Eugene
DUPONT. The far-fung DUPONT fami-
ly contributed around $780, 900 to the
Willl1ie campaign, but Ethel re-
manned loyal to her in-laws.
Franklin's speeches were of a
rather naive, amateurish nature, but
they endeared him tremendously to
his father. Franklin would star.
his speeches in most formal vein
carefully referring to his father as
''the President" But when heckled
from the side, he usually forgot his
dignity and sometimes shouted, "my
old mans a great guy" which al
ways brought down the house.
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles listened to election returns
until Ais a. m. but was down at
his desk reading telegram from
Greece by $3.50 a. m.
Wives played a unique role in
the campaign just concluded-Mrs.
Willkie, Mrs. Roosevelt, and several
other important political ladies,
among them Mrs. Farley.
Mrs. Willzie, of course, was con-
stantly at her husbands side. Mrs.
Roosevelt was not.
Probably one reason for this was
the fact that privately Mrs. Roose-
welt never wanted her husband to
run for a third term. She felt that
a third term would be full of head
aches, that no President could
weather the next four years without
terrific toll upon his health.

Virginia seems to be the most

Knox Manning, one of the best
known news commentators, walked
right into luck recently when he
used a Scandinavian dialect on the
air. Director Tay Garrett and Pro-
Queer Richard Rowland were trying
to find performer who could both
look and talk a certain role in
"Cheers for Miss Bishop" Garrett
happened to turn on his radio, heard
Manning for the first time-and now
the radio man will appear in sup
port of such experienced perform
ers as Martha Scott, William Gar
gan, Dorothy Peterson and Sterling

Quite a few years ago, when he
was student at Yale, Beirne Lay
Jr. spent so cents to see a picture
called Wings" and the course of
his life was changed. He decided
to be an aviator, and to write about
flying.
That was in 1928. He decided to
go into the air corps; in those days
it took longer than it does now, but
he was finally admitted to Randolph
field in 1882, and was graduated
the next year from Kelly. Then he
began writing. He got a lot of re-
jections, but he stuck to both flying
and writing, and was on his way to
fame.
Last year, after he'd sold some
articles on flying, his book, 81 Want
ed Wings" appeared. Paramount
bought it. He thinks that proves the
truth his own story offers-that a
man who has freedom and future
in America can get anything he
wants if he'll try hard enough.

Earth Gaining Weight

The earth, according to DR.. Kirt-
ley F. Mather of Harvard, is gaining
weight at the rate of $4,000 tons a
day, or 10000, 900 tons year-owing
to falling meteors and meteoric dust.
Assuming our planet to be 2,000,-
GOO, 1000 years old. says Mather, its
total increase in weight since the
beginning has been 10000, 000, 000,-
10000 tons. Stated another way,
this means that in the last 2,000,-
600, 900 years enough cosmic scraps
have fallen to cover the earth with
layer of matter 100 feet deep.
