Home Godgets-
New Boiler
Uses Wartime
Developments
By HiIson Munsey

Cold winds and falling tempera-
ture make home owners conscious OF
the flaws and fallings of their heat
ing systems. For their considera-
ton, a boiler manufacturer has in
corporated many wartime inventions
and improvements in his residential
hange-steel heating boilers.
Flueways are used instead of tubes
thus eliminating the worries of cor
roding, burning out and leaking Of
tubes. The hues are constructed at
circulating angle to direct a fast
steam and water movement over all
hot surfaces.
This constant free and natural
flow of steam and water insures high
efficiency with fast steaming. The
rugged construction and rapid, I'M
DISTRACTED circulation are said to
prevent oxidation and repair bills,
insuring long life of the boiler.
This boiler may be used for oil or
gas, and is equipped with a device
which not only provides a long f1ue
travel, creating high heat efficiency,
but also acts as an automatic
cleaner.
Water Filter.
There is a uniform filter media
available which gives out clear
sparkling water and improves the
waters taste. The filter is designed
with a performed pad composed of
finely powdered, activated carbon
and a firmly pressed fiber base.
When the two parts of the solid
bronze, chrome-plated body are
clamped together by means of wing
bolts a constant pressure on the pad
is maintained. The water forced
through the pad passes through the
dense filter media so that the finely
powdered carbon particles absorb all
chlorine, free and compound, and

Attic to Cellar
You Can Make
Small Rooms
Seem Larger
By Betty IrexIer

Small rooms are often the homiest
in the house. We all know families
who ignore good sized living rooms
and practically Give" in a tiny den
or sun room simply because it's so
cozy there.
But, If your rooms are so small
they're giving you bad case of
claustrophobia there are plenty of
things you can do to make them
appear larger.
One of the best ways is through
the clever use of paint. Paint can
push into the background such
things as doors, window frames,
other woodwork, and radiators.
Softer Shades Look Spacious.
If your walls are of a soft shade
of greenland it's the softer shades
that aid in giving a more spacious
look-paint all woodwork in that
room the same shade of green.
If you want to go step further,
you might have even picture frames
and Grapes the same color as the
walls. And don't worry, there still
will be plenty of other shades-such
as in the slipcovers, bedspreads,
furniture and accessories-to give
contrast.
A large figured wallpaper can
make a. room look mighty small,
but if you're crazy about Powered
wallpaper, go ahead and use it. In
that case, paint all woodwork and
radiators the same shade as the
background of your paper, and you
won't 60 wrong.
Avoid Cluttered Look.
While the lighter tones are bet
ter for your purposes than the
deeper ones, don't make the mis-
take of picking colors that are too
pale. In such a case, you'll find
"a

Care and Paint Keep
|C|apboard Walls Of
Home Sound, Smooth
By W. Wordsworth Wood

More than 80 per cent of the out
side walls of the Nations homes
are made of wood. Many are of
shingles, so laid that there is often
three thicknesses of overlapping
single at any given point. Other
wood walls are made of clapboard, in
single thickness, and overlapping
at only top and bottom edges.
The main probelm in a clapboard
wall is to keep the ends of the
boards, where they butt together,
tight against weather. This can be
accomplished by an inspection of
the exterior walls at regular inter-
walls. Whenever a board end has
sprung out of place, it must be
renailed back into place. Only
galvanized nails should be used, and
they should be driven in at an angle
rather than straight, so that they
will have a good bite against any

houses that grow"
These "expansible houses" may be
built today with only one bedroom,
living room. kitchen and bath, and
later may be expanded to include
two or more bedrooms, den, garage
or other space as you need it, or
can afford it.
6 Plans Suggested.
In announcing the scheme, de-
veloped particularly for veterans,
Mr.. Foley disclosed that architects
of the Housing and Home Finance
Agency have developed six house
plans as suggestions" for designing
your own expansible house.
This type Of house represents one
approach, through the medium of
planning and design, to obtain &C
ceptable housing at lower price, even
at present building COSTS" Mr..
Foley said.
Two of the designs for expanSible
houses developed by the Govern
ment agency are shown on this page.
These, together with four others and

Planned to Add Rooms.
Each scheme provides complete
dwelling unit in both the "basic"
and expanded" stages. Each of the
basic" units-that is, the house as
1t is first built-contains a living
room, bedroom, dining space, kitch-
en-, bathroom, adequate closets and
storage space, together with heating
equipment and hot water and laun-
dry facilities.
Each Is planned for the addition
of bedrooms and other rooms at
minimum costs as the needs of
the family increase" said the
agency.
The sketched plans are intended
for guidance and possible adapta-
ton by an architect to individual
family needs, to the site chosen
and to building code or other re-
quirements.
Properly designed expadsible
houses, said the agency, may be built

FARM NEWS

1t was revealed today that all
County AAA Officers in Delaware
have been instructed to discontinue
at once the acceptance of new
farm plans for the 1947 program.
Contractors and dealers delivering
lime and superphosphate under the
materials program have also been
requested to hold-up on deliveries,
according to C. E. Ocheltree, State
Director of the Production and
Marketing Administration.
'gThis action is in line with that
taken in all states, he explained,
"and was made necessary by the
limited funds provided in the Ag-
ricultural Appropriation Bill now
before the House. Pending legis-
lation provides no funds for the

State Director said that farmers
who are in urgent need of either
lime or superphosphate should plan
to purchase the material through
commercial channels.
The 1947 fall pig crop goal set
for Delaware is 1000 sows to far

DDT Against Tick Menace

dot Against Tick Menace
Eradication of the tick, which
has long been recognized as a
common pest in Delaware and
more recently as a real menace
since a carrier of the spotted fever
virus, is impossible. This is the
view of DR.. L. A. Stearns, ento-
mologist with the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service. He
says this is true because the tick
is statewide in distribution and
studies of its habits by University
investigators indicate that it at
taches itself not only to humans
and dogs but also to a variety of
small animals, especially field
mice.
Partial control of ticks is possi-
BILE, however, through the use of
DDT. Ticks are abundant in areas
covered with high grass and brush
and are usually present in large
numbers along roads and paths
They are attracted to these points
by the scent of dogs and other an
imals, including humans, using the
roads and paths.

 On the sixth principal part of the report Russia stood alone in the opposition to the 10 countries and Poland abstained.
 The political committee thus completed action on broad pro- posals for setting up and oper- ating an international atomic con- trol agency. The delegates have worked steadily at this task since early in May.
 The opposition of the Russian and Polish delegations was shown quickly when the first section was approved by the 10 to 2 de- cision. It was the first time the two delegates had formally voted against an atomic report.
