Select Adequate Product

Krue pointed out that the public
generally has been sold on the idea
of home insulation but has not
been educated in many localities 10
between an adequate

AS a result" he said. "msny
home buyers accept the mere
statement that house i'm which
they may be interested Is insul-
ated' when the amount and type
of material used is not sufficient
to deliver the comfort advan-
tages and savings possible with
modern insulating materials.
THE average buyer of a new
home gives IL thorough inspec-
ton so far as the features he
can see are concerned" Krue
said. Insulation, however, should
be even more thoroughly investi-
gated since no other single item
affects so vitality his family's
comfort and his pocketbook as
well. The right thickness OF in
sulation installed to uniform
density In both, walls and roof
makes the home healthier and
warmer in Winter and cooler and
more comfortable in Summer.

 lN STAMPS
Argentine Patriots Used Fifth Column" Tactics

EADERS of Argentina's revolt
 against Spain.had never heard of Fifth Columnists" when they started the revolution in 1910, but they had working knowledge of the technique. Manuel Belgrano, military and political leader, pie tured on the stamp above, was one of the group that successfully directed the coup.
 Patriots demanded and secured a provisional government for the provinces of the River Plate, held places on the council which re- placed the Spanish governor. Out wardly loyal to the king, they systematically discredited Spanish officials, finally ordered all high functionaries deported.
 Belgrano became commander in-chief of Argentina's armies. AL though independence was not formally declared until 1916, the Argentine republic dates from his victories over Peruvian loyalists in 1911 and Bolivian partisans in 1913.
 Belgrano played an important part in the Congress of 1916 where independence was formally pro- claimed. He also undertook a diplomatic mission to England to 'eek British support.
