treating Of Screens.
And Norm-Sash
Explained by Expert
By w. Wodsworth Wood

When the storm sash are taken
down they should be hosed of and
to dry. Then they should
be stored or stacked on edge: never
fiat. Glass. will break twice as easily
when it is flat as when it is on edge
After the sash is neatly arranged In
a rack or against wall in basement
or garage, it should be covered with
a canvas or with paper.
The hosing of, drying, stacking
and covering, will make the job of
cleaning them in the autumn quite
easy. When the sash are taken
down, you should be sure that they
are marked. so the right sash can
be placed in the proper window
next fall without a lot of fitting and
trying.
Adding Years To Screens.
Inspect screens which replace
the storm sash in the properly
equipped house contribute greatly
to summer comfort, and accordingly
deserve proper treatment. If your
screens are of copper mesh they will
last for a lifetime; but If they are
made of galvanized iron or plain
black-iron wire mesh you would do
well to wipe them off with rag
soaked in kerosene, and then wipe
them dry. The kerosene will remove
any rust and leave q slightly oil
coating, which will add years to
the life of plain or galvanized mesh.
Many people make the mistake
of painting their screens every
year. It is well to paint the frames
every two or three years, but 1t is
wrong to paint the mesh or actual
screening. After three or four coats
of paint, any mesh will be practi-
cally closed and it will obstruct
ventilation practically as effectively
as though it were a solid board.
Angle Iron Suggested.
AS screens are light frames and
do not have the benefit of the
stiffening which is offered by a
rigid pane of glass, they are liable
to become warped or out of square.
Small five-cent angle irons Id the
four corners will make them as
sturdy as door frames.
Re-screening frame may appear
to be quite a job, but in reality
it is as simple as A B C. You lay
the screen on a table, remove the
molding which covers the edge of
the screening, lift the tacks that
hold the screening, and strip it off.
Then you lay new screening, tack
ing 1t at the top edge first and
then along the sides. Then you re-
place the molding and with sharp
knife cut off all excess of screen
You do not have to bother with
measurements or figures because
the entire pattern is laid out for
you.

Here Is new angle on how to
beat the housing shortage.
Virgil Darlington c'Pat'D Jones,
40-year -old Washington author OF
Ranger Mosby" and of forthcom-
ing book, 1.-THE Hatfields and the
McCoys," is converting two log
cabins he bought for $50 into a
spacious, nine-room house.
Mr.. Jones, former reporter for The
Star and now manager of the Wash
ington office of the Curtis Publish
ing Co.. got the idea from Gov
Tuck Of Virginia, whom he served
for time as secretary.
1--WE were on the way to the Gov
ernors' conference in Oklahoma City
last summer and the Governor said
You have to crawl before you walk
why don't you get yourself a log
cabin like mine"
At that time Gov. Tuck was COM
pleting conversion of a fonr-room
cabin on his farm near South Bos-
ton, Va, for use as a weekend
place. When completed, it cost
$84l.
Owned IL Acres.
Mr.. Jones few months before had
bought II acres of land rs miles
from Washington just. Beyond
Centerville, Va, along Cub Run. He
wanted to build home, but ma
terfals were scarce. So the log
cabin seemed to be a good idea as a
stop-gap plan.
MY mother lives in Gordonsville
Va, and I was brought UP there, so
I thought it would be a good idea to
go back to my home territory and
do little stompin' arourd." he said
Mr.. Jones found two Old log cabins
one he figured was about 180 years
old, near Bells. Cross Roads. not far
from Louisa Court House, Va.--and
the other near Trevilians. Va.
The cabin near Bells Cruss Roads
was owned. by the local postmaster
who offered to sell it for $25. It was
built of oak logs and put together
with wooden pegs. There wasn't a
nail in it, said Mr.. Jones,

his mother secuted the countryside

Insulating Material
Made Of Spun Glass
Is Easy to lnstoIl
By HiIson Munsey

Old time cottages in England
we're rooted with a straw thatch,
presumably because it. was cheap
and the necessary material was
handy.
However, the straw served an
other important purpose in provid-
ing an insulation for the home
that very closely parallels today's
ideas about insulating material
It provided air spaces that kept
in the warmth in. winter and the
heat out in summer.
Various materials are now used
that embody the idea Of air spaces.
One of them is an insulating ma
terial made of spun glass. Hair
thick fbers are interlaced so that
they hold tiny pockets Of inert
air. Heat travels very slowly
through dead air and so the in
sulation keeps the heat out in
the summertime and reverses the
process in winter.
This insulation will not rot or
decay, it is not affected by atmos-
pheric changes and it will not alb
sorb odors. Moreover, it does not
offer a haven for insect and mice.
The material Isl made In several
forms, but the one most generally
used by the home owner is In
blanket form,
This blanket can be cut to size
with pair of scissors. The glass
fiber is ir1closed in a casing consist
ing of an asphalt-sealed cover on
the side that is used to face the
interior of the room and a strong
perforated paper on the other.
This casing Is extended beyonc
the width of the insulating ma.
terial to form a mailing flange fo,
convenience in installing.

Practice of
Budgeting Leads
To Ownership

Raleigh, N. c. BY budgeting
his acres in Diversified farming
program and. by budgeting his
hard earned dollars once he got
his hands on them, O. L. Scott
of North Carolina has pyramided
a dollar and a half into a good
bank account and two 100 acre
farms, rports the North Carolina
State Extension Service.
Seventeen years ago, Farmer
Scott, and his wife and four child
rem unloaded a skinny wagon
load Of furniture at farm shack
near Raleigh. Besides the furni-
ture, the SCOTS had only dollar
and a half between them and a
strong determination to get a
head.
By carrying out balanced farm
program-tobacco, corn, vegetab-
les, hogs, cows, and chickens
coupled with good management
and hard work, the SCOTS have
climbed step by step into owner
ship. Today they own a well-fur-
nished home, two 100 acre farms
and adequate livestock and pcul-
try. They operate one farm, and
rent the other to tenants. Every
thing they hawke is ptid for, and
they have money in the bank.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-P-Sen-

ability to get warplane contracts
heard testimony today that Elliott
Roosevelt's recommendations over
rode the commanding general Of
the air forces, and then started
quizzing publicity man John Meyer
on his relations with the son Of

Meyer. s~leepy-eyed after a hur-

not get very far on his story OF
his work for Hughes before the
hearing was suddenly recessed un-

He did get in a denial that he
had padded his expense accounts
to show lavish entertainment OF
government officials. He replied,
Right" when asked whether it
was your duty to entertain Army
officers, Navy officers and 9TH

The many-sided inquiry of the
Senate War Investigating commit

chairman, Senator Brewster (R-
Maine), to waive his senatorial
rights and appear as a witness on
what he said was "a blackmail
charge" fired at him by Hughes.
Meyer testified briefly at the
end of a day which produced an
