Five Started Bataan
March; One Survives

LOS ANGELES, Calf 6SNS) -
S/Sgt. William II. Walker, of this
city, whose army coat is covered
with ribbons and decorations, told
reporters this week that he is one
of five colored enlisted men who
participated in the fearful death
march on Bataan, in the Philip
pines, in the early days of the
war.
He was the only one of the five,
he said, to survive the ordeal of
hunger, thirst and death. Sgt.
Walker was taken prisoner by the
Japanese on April 9, 1912 when
his ordnance outfit was ordered to
surrender and was shunted from
prison camp to prison camp and
from one work detail to another
until his release from custody on
Sept. Is, 1915.
Of the death march itself, Walk
err reported that neither food or
water was provided for the men
during the entire five days. If
soldier fell out exhausted, Walker
said, japanese military bayonetted
him and left him on the roadside.
They also, he said. prevented
friendly Fillipinos providing them
with food.
DOG AND MASTER
William Mitchell, an Ohioan, one
of the Negroes who began the
march but did not finish it, was
killed. Walker said, when his dog
attacked the Japanese. First they
killed the dog. then the master.
William Bell, of st. Louis, died
at Camp O'Donnell. Robert Brown
lee, whose wife and nine children
live in Nashville, Tenn. died when
the ship that was carrying him
and others to Moi, Japan, was
bombed. A fifth enlisted man
named Allen also was killed, Walk
er said.
Walker, who is married to ma
tive Filipino woman, has been in
the army for more than Is years.
Before going into the army he
was a musician in George Nor
rison's orchestra in Denver.
Hattie Mcdaniel, famous motion
picture actress, at that time was
a blues singer with the orchestra,
Walker said.

Various ype House-Roofs Of Interest to Builders

There are many different varieties of roofs and roofing materials avail able now, and although 1t is not necessary for you, as a home buyer, to know all of them, it is important for you to have some idea of the various types so you will understand what your builder is talking about when you are planning every phase of your home, says PRACTICAL BUILDER, Chicago.
 The most simple roof of all is the lean-to or shed roof. It is generally used for small sheds, porcheS, els, and other structures where overhead shelter is needed inexpenSively. It consists of a plain surface with one side at higher level than the other side. The roof is supported by walls or posts.
 The ordinary pitch or gable roof has two sloping surfaces coming to- gether at the ridge in the center of the building. It is usually the basis of most houses, although in many cases it is combined with other types of roofs.
 The gambrel roof is used to give more space in the portion of the house directly below the surface of the roof. The roof surface is broken on both sides of the building with less slope to the portion above the break than below.
 The mansard roof slopes very steeply from each wall toward the center instead of from just two sides. This roof gives more attic

has made his cabinets circular in- stead of square, giving him the use of revolving door. Since all the units revolve in circular motion, the kitchen unit represents complete departure from the appearance of the conventional kitchen.
 Individual accessories for the kitchen are also new and time and labor saving in design and purpose. A drop leaf table in the kitchen takes little space but has many var fed uses. It can have storage shelves behind and cabinets below. It will be so arranged that, when the table is down, 1t rests on the open doors of the cabinets below. It can be used as the homemaker's desk for numerous purposes, or can serve as 8 family bulletin board when not having other functions.
 If you are 8 frequent user of the cook book, you will be very much pleased with rack, similar to a music rack, that can be made to slide out from under a cabinet to hold the cook book at eye level, much more convenient that con- stant stepping down to counter height to read recipes.
 If 1t is at all possible, try to in- clude a special oversized cabinet particularly for storage of the elec- tric mixer, which is usually an un- wieldly article for storage. Special closets for easy access to brooms, mop, pail, and all the larger kitchen tools will give added enjoyment and efficiency to your working hours.
 Remember that you may have all the latest and most modern eQuip- n1ent available, and 1t will all be quite helpless without it's righthand aid-abundant lighting over work areas. A center fixture can no long, CT be considered sufficient kitchen light, particularly when most of the kitchen activities take place in side work counters, claims PRACTICAL BUILDER. Plan for fluorescent lighting for spaces below cabinets directly over the work areas. Its one of the best aids to a pleasant dis position we know.

Warm WoIl
 Heating New

Among the new developments in heating which are being dis cussed today is "warn wall heat ing" says the Plumbing and Heating Industries Bureau.
 The basic equipment for warm wall heating is similar to that for any modern forced-circulation hot water heating system, the Bureau explains. It consists of a boiler in a basement or utility room and 8 pump or circulator for mechanically forcing the water.
 In addition - and this is the distinctive feature there is @ heat exchanger. The pump forces the hot water from the boiler to the heat exchanger. Here the heat from the water is transferred to air. The air then is per- mitted to circulate between the studding of the outside walls of the house, thus warming the in- ner surfaces of the outside walls.
 The outer surfaces of the out side walls are well insulated to prevent heat loss to the outside.
 The fact that the inside Sur- faces of the outside walls are warm is said to produce a high degree of comfort. Be cause the heat Is distributed over large area, that is, the entire outside wall of every room, uniform heating and freedom from drafts is produced. Another advantage is the quick responsiveness of the sys- tenn to the demands of the thermostat and changes in outdoor temperatures.
 While further research and testing are still necessary before warm wall heating can be of- fered for general use, sufficient progress has been made to indi- cate that the system offers many interesting possibilities.

space than those previously men, tioned, and is occasionally used in the lh-story house to give more bedroom space.
 The hip roof slopes less steeply than the mansard roof, and has very little useful attic space. It is usually used when attic space or rooms below the roof are not con Sidered necessary.
 The flat roof has been employed in recent years in the design of modern homes. It is the least ex- pensive of roofs to build because it covers so little area.

 Porcelain enamel ranges that will do practically everything but take telephone messages will be wel- come part of the busy housekeeper's streamlined kitchen. A popular fea- ture is a cooking chart, part of the range itself, permanently fired on in porcelain enamel which will keep it fresh and as readable as when new.
 An auxiliary electric heater pro- videS extra warmth for many pur- pOses-mOrning shower, baby's bath, hair drying and chilly mornings be- fore the regular heating system is started. Built into the wall, the heater takes up no floor space and eliminates the hazards of exposed cords.
 Sometimes forgotten in planning the basement, is basement door that opens directly to the outdoors. Storage of garden tools and equip- ment in the basement is made con- veniently possible by direct passage to and from the yard.
