Warning Against Boom Revival

Warning against revival of a
boom psychology" that opens the
throttle wide without thought of the
future, Lewis H. Brown, president
OF Johns Manville corporation,
called upon leaders of the building
industry to prepare to take up the
slack that will follow the present
spending program for defense.
Recalling as precedent the 1881
conference on home ownership and
home building called in Washington
by the government, Brown suggest
ed that today a fresh opportunity
exists to demonstrate a similar kind
of real cooperation between govern
ment, labor and building industry
in attacking some of the problems
which must be solved to make pos
sible the rebuilding of America.
Facing one of the greatest oppor-
tunities in its history and now aided
by the governments large expendi-
lures on construction work incident
to the national defense program, the
building industry still has many
problems to solve, Brown said.

Breakfast Without Coffee

To many Americans breakfast
without coffee would be unthinkable.
Yet until the Eighteenth century cof-
fee drinking was considered seri-
Gus vice.
Women in England were not al
lowed to drink coffee in public. It
was considered a vulgar custom, un-
til hostesses began to serve demi-
tasses after dinner.
Our word "cafe" for small res
taurant, comes from France. 1t was
there that the cafes sold coffee
mainly. Later they used to sell
lemonade and other cool drinks in
the summer time.
At one unique dinner. the host
tried to spell the word coffee on
the menu without using one letter
that ordinarily appears in it. He
spelled it ''kawphy.

Making New Window Cleaner

Few of us realize the part that
clean windows play in our home and
community life. They bring sunni
ness and air to the family within,
and Joy to the passers-by who can
not resist glance at their spar
king brightness. Windows that
shine, a gay potted flower, and the
humblest of cottages takes on an
aspect of happiness.
It is not easy to keep the outside
of our window panes clear and shin
ing. A dash of rain, and their
brightness is gone. However, the
inside of the window is simple
enough to clean. Usually nothing
more than clear warm water with a
small amount of Inequality house
hold ammonia added is necessary.
This is especially effective if there
is film of grease on the window
pane, as there might be on kitchen
windows.

r ARTLETTS trace their lineage to

England from France with William
the Conqueror and fought with him
at the famous Battle of Hastings, in
1906. He received grants of land in
Sussex, England, and was buried in
Stephan in 100. The next several
generations of Bartletts were all
buried at this church on the family
estate, which had stood for more
than 300 years.
Six generations after the death of
Adam de Bartlett, a descendant,
John Bartlett, commanded Sussex
troops, which captured Fontenoy
castle in France, and he was grant
ed the castle crest for his coat of
arms. His son, John, was a men,

The first American settler of the
Bartlett family was Richard, who
came over in 1885 and settled in
Newbury, Mass. He used the swan
crest on his coat of arms, which
had been granted in the Sixteenth
century to show the right of the
family to keep swans on the River
Arun, very considerable honor.
