of piping are good indicators, but
not proof, they may also come from
other conditions. But, if conditions
warrant, investigate the neutralizers
which have tank filled with a bed
of crushed marble upon which some
of the carbon dioxide in the water
reacts to form calcium carbonate.
1t is carbon dioxide, present in great
quantities, that usually creates the
trouble.
The neutralizers are no inexpensive
item, ranging in price from $85 to
$265 for manually operated systems,
from $235 to 1878 for electrically
operated ones-depending on the
amount of water used and the con-
dition of the water. But once in, the
equipment requires no great care
except for adding to the neutralizing
material after many months of use.
The "neutralite" or material used in
the equipment is inexpensive and
easily replaced.
The manually operated neutralizer
requires only three simple turns of
a control wheel at the top of the
tank to flush out impurities caught
by the mineral bed. This should be
done about once week.

Steel Easements
Now Available al
Small Cost
Durability and Ease
OF Installation
Are Features
BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.


Steel easement windows, once
considered a luxury item for the
home. have made their debut in a
low-cost, complete, glazed, cased unit
for. the small home.
This is real news to builders of
minimum-siZed houses, who, partic-
ularly because they cannot afford
to build f1imsily, want quickly-in-
stalled, durable, weathertight win
dows with as much style appeal
as more expensive windows.
The steel easements, especially
designed and constructed for use in
low-cost homes, are made by one
of the Oldest and largest steel win
dow manufacturers. They have
everything built in, yet they cost
less than or about the same as good
wood windows. For little extra,
screens of special 16-mesh wire cloth,
pre-fabricated in pressed-steel
frame, can be ordered from the
manufacturer to fit. Standard low
cost outside wood-frame storm sash
may be linked to the steel easement
ventilator so that the storm sash
opens out automatically at the bot
tom when the ventilator is open.
Each window is delivered with
steel frame and sash, fitted,
hinged, hung and assembled, and
prime painted and oven baked to
provide rust protection. Glass, set
in with special steel sash putty; at
tractive bronze finished operating
hardware; special casing (for the
outside) of California redwood, and
special inside wood trim of Douglas
fir, cut to exact length, mitered,
fitted and ready to nail on, are in
cluded in the cost of the window
unit.
The whole window can be in
stalled quickly with hammer and
nails. There have been instances
of the package steel easements put
in place in whole small house in
about an hour-one of the chief ad-
vantages of prefabrication being the
doing away with cutting, fitting and
assembling on the site.
The units range in cost from $895
to $500, depending on size, with
inside trim costing so to 80 cents
more; screens, $115 to S1.55;. null
lions 25 to SO cents. There are II
different types and sizes.
Water Neutralizer.
We've heard lot in recent years
about corrosive waters which attack
the plumbing pipes through which
they run and in time deteriorate
them. If the water which is supplied
you from a municipal water system
or from your private well is known
to be corrosive and you want to
avoid the expense and nuisance of
replacing piping every so often
through period of years, it might
pay you to install a neutralizer
which makes corrosive water less
aggressive.
Before you do anything about it,
we advise having your water tested
to find out definitely, if it is cor-
rosive. 1t is impossible to diagnose
accurately this quality yourself. Blue

1T would take time, patience and
good judgment to effect changes in

TO obtain their cooperation In the

group consisting of France, Italy,
Spain, Belgium and Holland would
be united in union separate from
either Germany or Russia. This
latter would act as a buffer for
Great Britain and it also might
exercise a balance of power in the
event some future dictator, either
German or Russian, should 60 on
the rampage.
British strategy always has called
for fairly equal division of power
on the continent, and this require
ment clearly would be met by a
realignment of Europe as above
outlined. What Britain has wanted
for a long time, its spokesmen here
say, is to be able Ito turn its back
on the escontinent without dread, and
shape its economic and political fu-
ture in collaboration with its over
seas dominions and the United
States.
No Peace With Hitler.
These speculations constitute
cropping for a possible peace formula
rather than a proposal of actual
negotiations with Germany. The
big stumbling blocks to the latter
obviously are, first. Adolf Hitler per-
sonally, and second, the economic
and political PHILOSOPHERS he repre-
sents. The position of the United
States for the time at least is that
it will talk peace only when the
British give the word, and the Brit
ish say there can be no peace with
Hitler.
Speaking privately, American Off
cials divide into three categories; at
one extreme are those, who vow
that Germany must be completely
crushed, and at the other the frank
appeasers, who say it would be bet
ter to make terms even with Nazified
Germany than to continue the war
to military conclusion. In be-
tween these groups, and more nu-
merous and influential than either
OF them, are those who say that
Germany must be -Hitlerized and
de-Nazified, but having been so
purified it should be recognized as
major factor in any plan of Eu-
ropean rebuilding and that Russia
also must figure prominently in this
process.
Judged by the expressions of
British representatives. in Washing
ton, opinion in that country divides
on substantially the same lines. 1t
is noticeable that members of the
British purchasing mission, COM
posed principally of businessmen,
are more on the side of a negoti-
ated peace with Germany than are
the British diplomatic and labor
spokesmen.
There are rumors that the Ameri-
can Government is skeptical as to
the Polish leaning toward
Russia and that recognition by the
United States of the Benes govern
ment of Czecho-Slovakia. now func-
tioning in London. mas been with
held on this account. Some State
Department officials, at least, hold
20 the view that it would be a mis-
take to bring Russia farther into
Europe and hence it would be better
to turn the Soviet aspiration for
expansion eastward. The Poles and
the Czechs on their side believe they
can profoundly influence the devel-
opment of Russia politically and
economically if they are linked with
it in relatively free status.

the weight of opinion is that this
camel belongs to Arabia and is so
named
Whatever is said against this ship
of the desert, it serves man where
other animals could not possibly
do SO. 1t is fitted to exist only in
the dry and desert districts. In
1856, IS camels were obtained from
Smyrna by the United States
Government to distribute them over
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
During the war of secession, all OF
these animals were used by the Con-
federates for carrying mail, some
making as much as 12O miles day.
AT the end of the war the few
camels left once more where under
the Government of the United
States and others were purchased
to add to them. They were dis
tributed through Arizona and Texas.
Most of them died The few left
were turned adrift and for some
time stray camels were seen. Those
introduced into Australia turned
out to be greater success.
The camel, as we have been re-
minded time and again, can live
on green food, mostly the branches
and leaves of trees. Grain Is now
furnished them, but the animal
cannot live without green food.
Thorns do not harm the tough lips
and mouth lining of the camel.
1t is very fond of dates and can get
along very well for days on this
diet Water is stored SO that the
animal can draw upon this supply
when crossing desert or water
is scarce.
The health of the camel is in
dicated by the size and condition
of the hump. When well-fed and
enjoying perfect health, the hump
will be very large and firm. This
is reserve food supply should the
animal need to draw upon it.

Camels belong to the Old World
There are two distinct species and
today. they are unknown in the
wild state. These animals are
characterized by their great bulky
body, the presence of one or two
large fatty humps on the back
small ears, shaggy areas of long
coarse hair, broad feet, fairly long
tail furnished with terminal tuft,
and callous pads, furnished at birth
and upon which the animal rests
when lying down. The camel has
an ugly shaped head and vicious
temper. No matter how kind and

ernments are talking in terms of
alliance with Germany or Russia,
rather than restoration of their
complete independence, when the
war is ended. The first out-giving
OF a joint Czech Polish propaganda
agency, just established in New
York, featured this seeming sur
render of the idea that the little
nations" born of the treaty of
Versailles, ever can be completely
restored.
Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk,
speaking for the Czechs, announced
the purpose of the new Czech
Polish union to be "a modus vivendi
and tolerable relationship with Ger
many or Russia, or with both" A
statement by Foreign Minister
August Zaleski of the exiled Polish
government similarly declared that
"a happy and peaceful Europe de-
pends upon its reorganization "as
realized in the British Common
wealth"
Hope to Serve Russia.
Since the very existence of the
Polish and Czech absentee regimes
depends on British goodwill, it is
safe to say that Masaryk and
Zaleski spoke only after consulta-
ton with that government.
Czech and Polish representatives
here talk on a tie-up with Russia in
the role not of sovietized states, but
of equal partners in a contemplated
Eastern European economic union.
The Czech thesis particularly is
that as a highly industrialized re-
gion. their country, if it remains as
sociated with Germany, never could
be anything more than tail of the
German economic kite. On the other
hand, they see vast possibilities of
prosperity for themselves in the
turning Of their industrial efficiency
free of tariff restrictions. to the
service Of the potentially vast Rus
sian marketing area.
The Poles are cherishing much the
same dream, but with the premo-
milton that because their country
is more agricultural than industrial
it is likely to have great difficulty
in escaping the German orbit.
Economic Division Plan.
These conceptions clearly contem-
plate a Europe utterly unlike the
ethnographic crazy quilt of Ver-
sailles. The self-determination
idea is abandoned and in it's place
would be a continent divided on
economic rather than racial lines
At the center of each group would
be one or more powerful nations,
with Germany and Russia remain
ing as the big shots.
The Poles and Czechs suggest that
they should be linked with Russia,
along with Finland, the Baltic trio
Of Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania
and possibly part Of the Balkans
Each of the small nations concerned
would retain its language and other
cultural attributes and a large meas
ure of political autonomy, but trade
barriers between all members of
the group would be completely re-
moved and they would act jointly in
both political and economic dealing
with other nations.
Under the plan similarly Hungary,
part of the Balkans, Denmark and
perhaps Norway and Sweden would
fall into the German orbit. A third
