you put together, gather ali your
small china dogs or cats, place them
amusingly, and you'll find you have
a conversation corner as well as a
decorative window opening.
At the end of the room by the
entrance door, hang two or three, or
even four pictures of kindred sort,
one above the other to form a panel.
Put bench under them and you'll

with the case will be admitted to
the hearing. All cases of juveniles
will be heard separately and at DIFF

investigations will seek to learn
the causes of family problems and
juvenile delinquency as well as to
throw light upon the guilt or limo

s'Po0r Heat Complaints With
Hot dir Furnace Equipment

NTH hot air heat, cold rooms
w are generally the result of
improper air circulation within
the room. The heated air should
flow into the rooms through reg
listers and the chilled air from
the rooms should flow back TO the
furnace for relocating through
separate registers and ducts. If
this air circuit is broken, or If
the cross section area of the
pipes carrying cold air from the
room is not equal to the cross
section area Of the warm air
pipes, the result will probably be
cold rooms, or drafts on the
floors.
Hot air registers are always
placed in inside walls. This is
important. Cold air returns are
located on outside walls, usually
underneath bay windows or near
outside doors. These are flush
with the floor and permit the
cold air to flow through attached
ducts back to the furnace for re-
heating. In the case of a pipeless
furnace, there is only one hot
air register, this is centrally To-
Gated in the first floor in such a
manner as to evenly distribute
the heated air throughout all the
rooms of the house.
Warm air furnaces should be
located as near the center of the
basement as possible and IA
voring the coolest side of the
house. This is done to equalize
warm air distribution upstairs.
To aid in this, where warm air
ducts are installed, turn hampers
are placed in the ducts and these
can be manually operated so that
just the right amount of heat is
furnished to all the rooms.
Cold air return ducts should
connect into the base of the fur
mace shell below CRATE level,
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1941-02-13

otherwise they may act as warm
air leaders, hindering the air cir
culation.
In the living quarters, fur
niture or rugs should never be
placed in such a position so that
they totally or partly cover the
openings of warm or cold air
registers, as this will restrict
circulation of air and cause a
bottled up condition within the
room and unsatisfactory heat. .
For extra comfort, make sure
the water pan on the furnace al
ways contains water. This water
slowly evaporates and is used
for humidification. If this pan
goes dry or accumulates dirt,
subsequent heating is liable to
throw odors into the rooms and
cause a generally unpleasant dry
condition. Check this water pan
occasionally. You will find it
adds greatly to comfort and
economy Of operation.
In the case of fumes or gas
odors upstairs, Immediately look
for leaks in the furnace. Often
these can be corrected with the
application of furnace cement
but if they prove of a more seri-
Gus nature call your fuel dealer
or heating contractor. He can
tell you if it is necessary to have
the furnace thoroughly cleaned
and resealed. All furnaces should
be gone over periodically to
check on gas leaks.
Warm air heat is very salts
factory method of heating if the
equipment is properly installed.
Warm air furnaces are now
being extensively used in new
homes and with the addition of
blowers, humidifiers and filters,
make economical winter air con-

to try to get rid of seasonal
pond or a creek in an undesirable
location. 1t would be a lovely
law, but the water would still
flow the same old way. Laws
which limit production from the
land, assuming that the land or
its fertility is not destroyed there
by, are equally unnatural
One needs only to read the re-
ports of recent conventions of
farm organizations to realize that
rural America is not exactly sat
isfied with its place in the picture.
To put it mildly, there is a grow
ing suspicion that farm progress
has been in the wrong direction.
1t has not been convincingly
demonstrated that too much food
has ever been grown in this coun-
try Everyone knows that there
are millions of people who do not
get better than a subsistence diet.
Something pretty wond er ful
would happen to the health of
this nation if it were possible for
everyone to enjoy the kind of
abundant diet most readers of this
column take as matter Of course.
The real problem is not how
much, but how to get food to the
people that need it, and at the
same time assure an adequate net
return to the farmer. Looking at
one end of the problem, authori-
ties in farm management are be-
ginning to have new respect for
an old fact: that the family-siZed
farm is the economic unit with
the greatest possibilities in Amer
lean agriculture.
Any sound program to stabilize
agriculture must look to the re-
establishment of the family farm
on a sound business basis. 1t has
had lot of body blows from So
called commercial farming, but 1t
not only must be made to survive
but also to predominant.
Just what does such re-estab-.
lishment entail? Two things, at
least: owner p and proper
equipment; both on terms which
can be met without an annual
crisis that often is a catastrophe.
The farmer has always paid high
interest rates. The reasons are
not as important as the conse-
quences. The farmer that is hope
lessly in debt can't be a good
farmer. His load won't let him!
There are more than six million
farms in this country. What could
be better assurance of rural we'll
being than six million family
owned and operated farms, ade-
quately financed and adequately
equipped? Government has toyed
with methods of rehabilitation as
a sociological mission. Yet it has
been true over the years that So
GEOLOGY takes care of itself if busi-
ness considerations are equitable
10 all concerned.
Right now the RFC is offering
industry money at Ia 20 on bank
able defense orders. That is adj
mirable, and proper. But farm
ing is defense production, too. As
the man says, raising food is de-
tense, than which there is nothing
than whicher. The country ex-
poets the farmer to supply the
food, but it seems to take for
granted thai he can equip him.
self to do il out of the thin air.
Industry isn't asking to be pet
ted, but only to be loaned the
money il needs to get going. IL
there is any considerable number
of farmers that want to be petted,
we haven't heard of them. But
they would sit up and take notice
of the same kind OF loan. 1t
looks like il was time for another
national slogan: Let's Retool the
Farmer, Too!

IPOWHATAN NOT
MAN WE THINK
EthnOlogist Casts Doubt on
Identity of Papa of
POcahOntas
"FALLS IN A CURRENT,

WASHINGTON. - PoWhatan, the
father of Pocahontas, and the man
encountered by the English 'lost
colony on Roanoke island, may
have been different men.
This is revealed by David /. Bush
nell Jr., Smithsonian institution eth
nologist, who is delving into the
scrambled history of the earliest eff
forts to plant white colonies in Vir-
ginia that eliminated in the success
full settlement of jamestown. The
eXtant records, Mr.. Bushnell points
out in a recent publication of the
institution, are confusing, but they
can be clarified to some extent by
archaeological and linguistic studies.
The Powhatan of the jamestown
settlers, says Mr.. Bushnell, was the
leader of confederation Of Algon-
quin tribes whose real name was
Wahunsonacock. jamestown hap
pened to be part of the territory
which, he asserted, owed him ale
glance.
Falls in a Current
The name "Powhatan," says Mr..
Bushnell, meant, in the dialect of
the Virginia Indians, falls in a cur
rent and was a place name APP
piled to native village at the falls
Of the James river within the pres
ent city of Richmond. This was Wa
hunsonacock's favorite residence.
Later the name came to be applied
to the man himself and eventually
to the confederacy of tribes which
he was instrumental in forming.
But there probably were several
''Powhatans" in Virginia. The name
could have been applied to any vii
lage in similar location and also.
very likely, to its leading citizen.
Actually, Mr.. Bushnell points out,
there were two ''lost colonies" and
one of them-it is impossible to de-
termine which-had four surviving
members who found shelter with a
friendly Indian tribe, probably Siou-
an. The Sioux, distantly related to
the bison hunters of the Great
Plains, were firmly established in
Virginia at the time and were con-
stantly at war with the Algonquins,
with whom the colonists came in
contact in the tidewater area.
Second English Expedition.
The second English expedition to
Virginia, says Mr.. Bushnell, arrived
off the coast late in June, 1885, and
remained in America a full year.
But, mot having received the ex-
pected aid and supplies from Eng
land, they abandoned the venture
and returned with Sir Francis
Drake, whose fleet had cast anchor
near Roanoke island, June 10, 1886.
Drake was then returning to Eng
land after attacking the Spanish set
Elements far southwark, including
st. Augustine in Florida.
"a supply ship soon after reached
the deserted island, but did not re-
main. A fortnight later Sir Richard
Granville arrived with three ships
well stocked with necessary stores,
but soon abandoned the search for
the colony. However, he left Is men
with ample supplies to hold or claim
the country. The following year.

These two colonies, both of which
suffered similar fates, have been
the cause of considerable historical
confusion.

Nv the Assoctated Press

BY the Associated PRESS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16-Marriner S.
Eccles, chairman of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, told group of bankers last
night that the standard Of living
must be reduced If I'VE are TO pre-
vent imitation"
Speaking eXtemporaneously, Mr..
Eccles said that living standards
must be reduced by higher taxes,
more savings deposits and sharp
curtailment of credit and INSTALL
ment buying.
Mr.. Eccles told the Chicago dis
trict of the Illinois Bankers Asso-
citation that the Nation has started
to reach the maximum limits of
production on goods not needed in
defense and that if consumer pur-
chasing was not retarded there
would of necessity be invoked an ex-
tending system of allocations and
price fixing which would result in
the ration card
''The most effective way Of pre-
vening imitation" he said "is by
taxes. What people pay in taxes
they don't have to buy goods"
Mr.. Eccles said he was opposed
to general sales tax because it
tended to drag the standard of
living of the lower income wage
groups to a point where health and
national morale would suffer.

Less Than ; Per Cent
b the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Ihe first de-
tailed report on casualties among
United States parachute troops dis
closed yesterday that less than 3
per cent of all jumps resulted in
injuries.
Army doctors said, however, that
the percentage Of injuries has de-
creased during recent months, due
mainly to improved methods of pre-
liminary training.
The report, published in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, was based on official
records kept on all injuries since
organization of the Army's 501St and
502d Parachute Battalions and the
Group Parachute School.
The report was made by William
J. Tobin, Washington, D. c.; Lau-
renee J. Cohen New York, and John
T. Vandover. st. Louis, all first lieu
tenants in the Army Medical Corps.
