Modern Homes
Use Sunlight
Sundecks Reuppedr
In American Homes

One of the most pronounced
American trends within the last
decade has been ever-growing
craving for sunlight. 1t has caused
bathing suits to shrink in size
made sunshine vitamins outweigh
taste as a selling point in the adj
vertising of bread, beer and ice
cream and has fostered the
growth of nudist cults. 1t was
only a matter of time before this
national urge for more sunlight
would be reflected in modern home
design.
AS a result Of this stimulation
many new features have been in
corporated in home design. At
the same time, it should not be
thought that these features are
merely temporary; they are dis
tinct assets in themselves :.
rather than fad" items which will
be outmoded in a few years.
Sundecks Reappear
Among the most popular innova-
lions has been the temperance Of
the sundeck. Although it is best
suited to the more modern home
designs, it can readily be adapted
to the standard conventional types
Of architecture which are found
throughout the country.
Old-fashioned porches and piaz-
zas are being replaced by terraces.
which are usually placed SO as to
be used for Longing and dining.
In this case it Is wise to consider
this feature before the house plans
are made; il should become a part
of the general landscaping scheme,
rather than an after-thought
which must be adapted to an in
flexible, fixed plan.
More window Area
Both architects and home own
ers are now giving more attention
than ever to window space and
window location. Larger areas OF
glass are being used and more
windows are being featured. The
very latest house plans many
times call for glass block walls,
which strike a new high in salts
flying the desire for sunlight
sunlight and more sunlight.

Combination Metal
She'll Castings Tested
To Save Copper
Experiments Success
Could Reduce Shortage
To Vanishing Point
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOCl2teO freSS
Army ordnance experts, 1t was
learned today, are testing a method
of combining soft steel and copper
in the manufacture of shell castings
which, If successful in experimental
production, could reduce this Ma
tion's severe copper shortage nearly
to the vanishing point.
But, whether the method, If sue
cesSful, will win War Department
approval apparently depends on the
outcome of a family row between
ordnance perfectionists and officers
who fear that available copper sup
plies would be hopelessly inadequate
If the United States entered a shoot
ing war.
1t was understood that expert
ments with steel-copper castings
have advanced to the point where
defense officials now can speak of
the possibility Of mass production
within 18 months or less.
Army perfectionists claim, how
ever, that the combination castings
never could equal the efficiency of
brass castings. made largely of cop
per, and that this country has not
yet been forced to the 'next-best"
extremities of Russia and Germany,
both of which have been using COM
blnatlon castings for some time.
1t was believed, however, that thu
Army experts had improved foreign
methods to eliminate or reduce to s
minimum the danger of premature
| explosions or ''duds."
About one-third of the United
States copper supply for 1912 ha.

and defense officials estimate thai
use of combination casing woule
save up to 100000 tons of copper
annually. This saving. presumably
could be devoted to easing the pres.
sure of the present shortage or
non-defense industry.

ply at 100000 tons and the demand

He interpreted the statement of

today

being inflicted on the British and

acknowledged the loss of one plane.

Italy's East African empire is being
made.

Stefani listed four reasons for the
British campaign:
l. To show that Britain is open
ing a second front against the Axis
while Germany and Italy are fight
ing in Russia.
2. To try to eliminate Italy from
the var and thereby break the Axis
3. To quiet the Mediterranean
front so all British forces can be
available for action against Axis
armies advancing on the Caucasus
and threatening British positions in
the Near East.
4. To break the Italian-German
siege of Tobruk-the immediate OBJ
jective-but the real objective is.
