the Woods ranch was an icehouse full

in the Beaverhead valley and was the
source of envy among all of the ranch
men. In the place of sawdust, hay

door opened from the inside and was
fastened with an old-fashioned wooden
catch.
One night the door had been left

them bumped against the door and
closed it. Both were thus made prison.
ers-and remained there for several
weeks, while the men were hunting for
them on every side. and while one man
came very near to being hanged on
their account.
and his postponed hanging, one Of the
ranch hands had occasion to go to
the icehouse He could not open the
door. He called Woods, and together
they took off the hinges. The door
then opened, and there lying propped
against it, was one of the missing cows,
dead, and as stiff as board A feeble
groan attracted attention to the other
COW, which was still clinging to life
by thread. She was dragged to the
door but was nothing but rack Of
skin and bones. and her weeks of liv-
ing on the ice had frozen all Of her
legs, so she was mercifully killed.
When this news spread throughout
the valley, every man who was present
at the trial of Louey was thankful
that he had been merciful that morn
ing. and did not carry out the intended
plans before the breed had so stoutly
protested his innocence.

FILA Defines
Home Terms

A precise knowledge and under
standing of residential terms is
essential to the prospective home
builder.
The following definitions drawn
up by the FILA for cost estimation
purposes may prove useful in this
respect:
A detached building Is @ build
ing in which no exterior walls are
common to any other building.
A semidetached building is one
of two adjoining buildings stand
ing independently of others and
having common party wall.
A row house is one of four or
more buildings in which two walls
are common to adjoining build
ings. -
An end row house Is one which
is located at the end of a group of
four or more row houses and may
differ in plan, window arrange
ment and extent of exterior walls
from other houses in the group
by virtue of its location. Where
only three houses occur in a row,
separate classifications are set up
for the end houses and for the
center house.

Cuts
Fire Hazards
Many Fires Caused by
Oyerheatine Of Homes

Home insulation not only re-
duces fuel costs and increases
comfort, bat il helps 10 reduce fire
hazards.
Fire department records show
that sudden drops in temperature
invariably are accompanied by an
increase IN calls. The fires usually
arc caused by attempts 10 make
the heating plant pour more heat
into the house than that for which
the plant was designed. Chimneys
are set on fire and fires are started
due 10 chimney cracks or from
with live Goals or sparks

When homes are insulated with
board. sudden changes
IN outdoor temperature do not
cause a corresponding drop in the
temperature inside the home. Fur
mace forcing therefore becomes
unnecessary and one of the major
causes of fires is eliminated
Insulation in walls and ceilings

Rooms Still Needed
For War Workers
Adding a Room in Attic,
Basement Will Help

Already thousands Of home own
ers have added room in the attic,
basement or at back TO house war
workers. But there is bigger
job yet to be done: accommoda-
tons for additional war workers
will be required during the CON-
ing months.
The need presents a double
problem. First. finding homes
where rooms can-be Created;
second, getting the workmen 10

ments.
Often II is necessary for the
home owner to do the work HIM
self.
Paneled walls are economical.
The panels can be painted, pa

home, remember that it need not
be, large to serve its purpose.
Maybe there is attic space for two
or three rooms.

A rapid survey made by the

are 10000 square feet of space
in soundly built buildings already
supplied with utilities that could
very easily be converted into
apartments. Officers of the board

Contracts
Valuation Of Construction
Contracts Show Increase

The valuation of construction
contracts that were awarded in
Southern Michigan during Sep
TENDER reached a total of $40, $780,
900, Miles w. Beatty, district man.
-ager of Dodge Reports, stated
Saturday. This represents an in
crease of $3,27S,0O0 over the cor.
responding 1941 total.
The increase. Beatty said, was
in the residential field
which is now restricted almost en-
'tirely 10 barracks, and housing for
war workers. In this classification
the rise was from $40, 358,000 last
year TO $14752.000 this year
Beatty pointed out that these fig
tires are based not on building
permits 'ebut on actual building
contracts awarded.
During the same period, non.
residential construction showed 6
decrease, but heavy engineering
construction, which includes pub
lie works and utilities. was above
last years figure.

Private Building

Since September !, war housing

builders operating under the FILA
war housing insurance program

dwelling units per week, Federal
Housing Commissioner Abner II.
Ferguson announced Saturday.
In the eight weeks ended Octo-
Der "a, construction of 25,10O

The color of wall materials in a
house is to a great extent a matter
OF personal taste.
Something of equal Importance
to favorite colors is the reflective
value of the wall colors which af-
feet the effectiveness of the house
and sometimes even the comfort
and well-being of the family.
Rejecting value means that
while some colors make a room
lighter others make II darker. A
hundred-watt bulb might be bright
enough TO read by in a room with
white or cream walls, while the
same bulb in n room with red or
blue walls might produce eye
strain.
