Inspect Home
Periodically

Many of the inconvenience, dis
comforts, and healt hazards eN-
perienced in the household may be
avoided if home owners would
abandon the policy of giving their
houses attention only when acute
trouble. such as a leaky roof or
burst pipe, demands it.
Builders declare that IL is neither
safe nor wise 10 wait until some
thing gives way completely. They
recommend that trouble should be
anticipated by regular inspections,
followed by applying remedies i'm
mediately wherever they are
needed.
The house may be inspected by
members of the family owning or
occupying il. who are often aware
of some of its defects. or by an ex-
.perienced workman whose knowl-
edge and skill should enable him
TO discover defects not apparent "a

Unit Provides
Conditioned Air

A portable air-conditioning unit.
Incorporating in a styled wood
cabinet all the equipment neces-
sary for the cleaning, cooling, de-
humidfying, and circulating of air,
is described in the current bulletin
of the Producers Council, edited
by the department of technical
services of the American Institute
of Architects.
The self-contained unit may
readily be moved from room TO
room, since it requires only win
dow TO supply air, and an cleo
trical plug-in connection. 1t is
especially suitable for use In
large homes, apartments, offices
and small stores for cooling, clean
ing. and ventilating in Summer,
and for cleaning. ventilating. and
circulating air all year around.
A thermostat automatically con-
trolls the room temperature. A
Summer ventilation" damper ad-
mits a normal amount of outside
air for ventilation, and Winter
ventilation" damper admits all
Outside air to cool the room In
Spring or Fall seasons. The Win
ter ventilation damper may also
be used to remove smoke or odors
from the room when the COM
preSSOr is running.

Many Other Factors

Besides the size OF the family,
many other factors must be taken
into consideration such as the total
of hot water faucets in the
house and the water requirements
for the laundry.
The storage tank not only stores
the heated water but il also strait
flies the incoming cold water and
permits hot water 10 flow through
to the bathroom. laundry or the
kitchen as required.
The tank should always be OF
sufficient size 10 permit an ade-
eHate accumulation of hot water.
Sufficient storage eliminates the
need for rapid heating, permits
lower hot water temperatures and
generally gives better satisfaction.
High temperature is a primary
cause for boiler failure and corro-
sion.
Hot water storage tanks should
be operated at water temperatures
not in excess of $50 degrees, which
temperature is ample for all dof
nestle uses. Higher temperature
rapidly increase oxygen corrosion,
the cause Of early rusting.

Vigilance Necessary
To Avert Accidents

Constant watchfulneSs on the
part of the home owner will pro-
tect his investment. Vigilance will
also guard him against the danger
of accidents occurring on his
premises. Adequate inspections
made periodically will prevent
casualties that may result through
falling bricks, stone trimming. and
other materials which may become
looSened by age or Summer storms
Reasonable precautions will aid
in the prevention of accidents and
the maintenance of the property
in a satisfactory condition.

Good Subdividing
Defined by FILA

Good subdividing, according TO
the FILA definition. means the
creation OF real estate values
through dcviSing a layout which
is not only economically sound but
provides to the maximum degree
those conditions that make for
pleasant and reStful living. The
original cost, the stability Of
values, and the whole quality Of
living within the subdivision are
affected by the layout of the tract
and the determination Of the man
ner in which it may be used.

Concrete Foundations
RepeI Fire, Vermin

A foundation Of concrete is safe
from destruction by fire or vermln.
The life of buildings is prolonged
with concrete foundations. They
insure uniform distribution of the
weight on the soil and help pre-
vent uneven settlement and conSe-
uuent cracking of walls.

Hot Wafer
Abundance
Depends Tank

Summer is the time when AZ
abundant supply Of hot water for
bathing as well as other household
needs is most appreciated. An i'm
portant factor in providing the re-
quired amount of hot water at all
times is the hot water storage
tank.
Much dissatisfaction may be had
with an otherwise good hot water
heater il the storage tank is not
of the correct size or capacity to
meet the needs of the household.
There is no simple rule Of thumb
for determining the right size of
storage tank such as a 30-gallon
tank for a family Of three and a
50-gallon tank for a family OF five.

Not Murdered
By a Third Person

"Now, II some third person
killed both of them, he must
have stood up to his full height
to fire down Mt Miss BiederbicIx,
then, when Pierson sat up, sat
down on the floor to shoot up
at him from SO inches above the
floor. It's 50 absurd as to be
impossible.
Besides, there Is simpler
explanation. Piers0n was S
feet Z inches tall. II no sat
on the edge of tho bed, here,
and shot himself, the muzxle Of
the gun would be exactly S2H
inches from the floor, and would
be pointed up at exactly the
right anglo to make the bullet
strike this place In the wall at
35 inches from the floor"
But objected one of the
d. A. office men, returning to
the stubborn fact that had first
set them off on the murder
trail, "1f Pierson shot the woman
and himself, how did he get at
the back of the bed? He couldn't
do II from where he lay. And
how did the gun get over here
on the floor?"
"Of course, he couldn't. He
didn't. He got up to get his
gun and shoot the woman; then

Like this. When whoever It

II was Hanlon. or somebody else,
he must have made a little noise

would account for the bullet that
killed him going through the

he was afraid she would tell,

was Jealous. Then he put that
cigaret between her fingers,
