will spring the trap, making a loud
snap, which will not harm the dog in
the least, but will startle him sufti-
GENTLY to cause him to lose all in
terest in any place where he has this
unpleasant experience.
Dogs that bark and howl when
ever they're left alone often are
problem. The best way to avoid
trouble of this sort is to commence
training when the dog is young. Start
out by leaving him closed in room
by himself for short periods. If he
barks, so TO him, scold him and give
him light slap or two on the rurnp
with folded newspaper. Do not go
back more than once. though, or the
dog will get the idea he can make
YOU come to him by barking. The
periods can be gradually heightened
until the dog becomes accustomed to
being alone and realizes he is not
being permanently deserted by his
owner whenever he finds himself
without company.

ahead Of it. The diversified plant
will last indefinitely with decent
treatment. There is also the i'm
portant point of having an addi-
ton added to your house sometime
in the future, which a closely esti-
mated plant will be unable to handle
while an oversized plant will take
care of it.
| In selecting the material for your
Insulation you should consider ex-
actly what it has to offer beyond
insulating value. Is it fireproof or
fire-resistant? Is it vermin proof,
moisture proof and rot proof? For
the sake of saving a few dollars
when you build, there is no use in
using an inferior grade of insulating
material.
Confine your selection to the we'll
known brands made by reputable
manufacturers and you will get your
moneys worth. Another mistake
would be to do an incomplete in
sulating job, leaving cold spots at
various points in the house structure
and resulting in an uneven heating
effect. Have in mind using insula-
ton in the partitions dividing the
house into the various rooms. True,
| it is refinement. but it makes a
marvelously quiet house, preventing
the transfer of sound, and makes a
house that it is almost impossible to
burn down
Both heating and insulation have
reached the point where they offer
a tremendous value for their cost.

Tonkless Heater
Made of Copper
Provides Hot Water
By HiIson Munsey

The hot water problem can be
solved without the space-consumine
storage tank. This is done by the
use of tankless heater attached to
the furnace which derives its heat
from the circulation of hot water in
the boiler.
These heaters are made of copper
to reduce corrosion and there is no
danger OF getting iron rust into the
water. The shell is made Of heavy
gauge copper, electrically welded
No sediment can collect in the shell
because of its smooth surface. 1T is
light in weight with no gaskets or
bolts to cause leaks. 1t is heavily
insulated to conserve heat and fin
ished in enamel.
Every heater has an aquastat con-
nection. Cold water enters the shell
at the bottom of the heater and
passes around a series of coils
through which the hot water OF the
boiler constantly flows. The heaters
are made in five different sizes, and
supply from 240 to 1,080 gallons of
hot water an hour depending on
the size of the heater. The di-
mensions of the smallest size, Suffi-
cient to supply two baths, Is 121sx
161z inches and the largest is 45x161s
inches.
Faucet Washers.
Faucet washers are an endless
source of trouble. They always seem
to give out when it is most incon-
venient to replace them. To make
the. change more easily and quickly
there is a washer which works on q
different principle to the ordinary
kind screwed on to the stem Of the
faucet. 1t is made of rubber. After
the old washer Is removed as well
as the screw, the new rubber washer
is placed in the screw hole and
twisted into place. The stem and
face Of the washer are all in one
piece and any one can quickly put
one in place.
The only tool needed in replacing
the washer after the first one has
been put in place is a wrench. These
washers are smooth and quiet in
operation, and as they slowly ro-
tate in the faucet the wear and tear
on them is less and more even.
Insulation.
An easily installed form of insu-.
lation is provided by an aluminum-

Landlords Asked
To Lift No Children
Rule in Rentals

Objections on the part of land
lords to renting apartments and
houses to couples with children have
been stumbling block" which has
grown more serious as the housing
shortage has become more acute,
Mrs. Ellen Harper, District housing
center director, said today.
A check with Mrs. Harper was
made after District physician tele-
phoned a protest to The Star
against what he described as the
unfair discrimination" against ap-
plicants for housing accommoda-
tions who have children.
II promised one of my patients
would call The STAR he said, "be-
cause I think something could be
done in this matter with a little
publicity"
The physician, whose name is
withheld, said Il don't want to get
my name in the paper. 1 am only
interested in seeing that people with
children get square deal. What
are people with children going to
do, If this continues?
Among my own patients, vet
Grams and civilians, this question
has come up time and again. I
served as colonel in this war, and
I know that veterans as well as
civilians with children are being
disseminated against in this way"
Mrs. Harper said the housing
center has had "a great deal of
trouble" finding places to live for
people with children. She said "a
good percentage won't take chill
dren" especially in apartments.
In fairness, she added, many re-
strlctlons are merely against crowd
Ing children into small apartments.
I'm many cases, there is still terrible
crowding, with two and three chill
dren in one-bedroom apartments, ;"
she said.
But there are many other cases
where owners could try to under

By w. Wordsworth Wood

There is very direct affinity be-
tween the heating and the irlsulat-
ing of a house. The heating plant
gives warmth and comfort when it
is adequate and the insulation pre-
vents the heat from escaping to the
outdoors after it has been gener-
ated. Insulation likewise prevents
excessive heat from penetrating the
walls and roof during hot weather.
There are now several different
types of heating plants available
for the small home. Roughly, they
are warm air, steam and hot water
and they may be operated by coal,
oil or gas, Each type of heating
plant and each type of fuel has had
a great amount Of time and study
devoted to it, until they offer a
maximum of ease in attending
them and the greatest of economy
in fuel consumption. Combine any
up-to-date heating plant with full
insulation and you will have a COM
Portable home such as would not
have been thought possible a gen.
Grafton ago.
In selecting the heating plant for
your house it is an excellent idea to
have in mind the most appropriate
fuel. BY that we meaA the fuel
most easily available to you. If
you live in a coal region, coal is a
logical choice and the automatic
self-stoking furnaces have taken the
work out of coal firing. If oil is
cheap and readily available, that
should be your selection. If you
live where there is natural gas or
where there is good gas service, you
could not use anything better.
Another point to have in mind
about your heating plant is that
shaving down the size or capacity of
it is anything but an economy.
The plant which has to be forced to
meet requirements has a short life
