In less than an hour, they. along

rare roast beef with all the trim
mings and topped off with fresh
baked pie. And it was all cooked
by George Parnelee, Caswells

Defines Degree Day

Degree day" may sound for
midable to the uninitiated, but
it's really very simple, the report
points OF. It Is theoretical
measure which may be defined as
the number Of degrees between
an outdoor mean daily tempera-
ture of 65 degrees F., at which
temperature no artificial heat Is
normally required, and the actual
mean daily outdoor temperature of
the day in question"
For example. on day when trH
mean daily outdoor temperate
IS zero, there are IS degree-dayS
OF heating to be done. With a
daily mean of 30 degrees there
are 35 degree-days of heating re-
CURED, and temperature OF so
would ask for five degree-days of
heating requirements.
The outstanding advantages in
the use of what is known as the
Erlenborn steam or fuel consurnp-
ton chart are ~ that office tenn

level most desirable to the tenants,

Use of Method Easy

Application of the method Is
iust as simple as the explanation
OF what degree-day Is. For ex-
ample, sample building uses six
tenths OF a pound Of steam per
degree-day for each 1000 cubic
feet of volume in the building.
Therefore, if il has a volume OF
100000 cubic feet, the amount
OF steam which should be neces-
sary 10 take care Of each degree

proXimately 25sl pounds-or, in

temperature at freezing - 80
degrees--it should require 80 times
as much steam. representing ~
difference between the morn
temperature and that registered

management an opportunity to see
graphically whether too much or
too little heat is being produced.

with the utilization of the sched-
ule, efficiently applied. is not only
an economy in operation but also

GRANDMOTHER, IN magic
waivers and pink flannel kimona,
with a nose guiltless of powder,
could hardly have been the vision
of a mans romantic dreams.
Yet this is the miracle! She
always knew where Grandfather
was, nights! And he was usually
just on the other side of the
hving-room fireplace, reading the
newspaper or playing solitaire.
Once he had surrendered and
promised to love a woman for
life, he regarded himself as a
married man; and he didn't have
to make a note on his deskpad
to remind himself that he was
dining with his wife that eve
ming. But, nowadays IL a hus-
band and wife meet at breakfast
and spend three or four evenings
a week in each others company,
it is regarded as a successful
marriage"-just a case Of odd
fashioned devotion"
THE ONLY conclusion that a
cynic can draw is that the rea-s
son Grandfather and Grand
mother stuck so close together
was that they couldn't get away.
There was nowhere else to go,
and no automobiles to take them
there.
But whether this Is true or
not, one thing has certainly been
proved beyond a doubt. Women
will have to find some other and
more effective way of tying men
to them than by face-lifts and
reducing diets. Beauty as a love
tie has lost its potency; no mat
ter how pretty or young-looking
a wife may be, there Is always a
prettier or younger or newer
face somewhere. That's what
comes of overproductionl

Acne Treatment

IN TREATMENT Of acne, the
daily bath Is OF Importance. It
is a health and beauty measure.
The amount of perspiration
thrown of daily by an active
body is sometimes one-sixty-
fourth of the body's weight. Be-
lieve it or scoff, 1t is fact. The
water portions Of sweat evapo-
rate, but the solids remain. II
they are not removed daily they
take on an offensive odor. Car
bonic acid is also thrown of, and
no neat. tidy girl wants that
around.
