Kennewick Firemen Lose Contest
In Close Race With Yakima Squad

to the meet were Herb LEM,
Rodney Easterwood and L. Keene.
Other departments engaged in
the contest were Gle Elum, Sell
ah, Lower Naches and Wapato.
The contest was set to estab-
lish Washington State cham
pion to meet an Oregon contend
er in a meet in Hood River late
this month. Other districts are
competing on time basis.
To do all that is required in
the contest in less than min
ute and a half requires complete
coordination and speedy action.
An idea of what it means may
be cleaned from the rules. The
contest is divided into three parts
and each part must be completed
before the next can be started.
Part One: Lay $50 feet of hose
from hydrant to marker, attach
nozzle and knock over a target
with stream.
Part Two: Replace a burst sec
/ ton of hose. Here hose clamp
is used, a section replaced, water
turned on and a second target
knocked over.
Part Three: Extend 215 inch
line with two so foot sections
of hose and show water. In this
a special "Siamese" connection
is used to attach the two lines.
| All this must be performed &C
cording to strict rules. The
Yakima department in winning
the contest employed a new twist
that resulted in considerable dis
cussion as to its legality.

Whether to build basement is a
question architects have debated
for years and engineers Of the
department of agriculture have
summed up the arguments on both
sides for the information Of the
prospective home builder.
Those in favor Of basement
point out that it provides space for
a central heating plant and fuel
storage: floors are warmer and
more comfortable with q basement
underneath-an important consider
alton in cold climates; basement
furnishes space for storage, work
shop, recreation and laundry-ac-
tivities that may be difficult to locate
elsewhere in the house; and in cold
climates where the foundation must
go deep in the ground to get below
the frost-line, the cost Of the base
ment construction is partly paid for
anyway.
Arguments against a basement
are: Many of the newer heating
systems do not need to be below
the first floor to function we'll; rec
reation rooms, workshops and laun-
dries are more satisfactory above
ground where they have better light
and ventilation and are more con-
venient to reach; most Easements
are too damp for good storage of
many articles; floors that are built
over the ground can be kept COM
fortably. warm if properly insulated,
or by new, methods of heating; and
basement means carrying loads
OF laundry, ashes, etc. up and down
stairs. thus adding to the strain of
housekeeping.

Scientists Scare Up Fleas
For Testing Apparel

While federal entomologists were
doing wartime research on cheni-
calls that could be used on uniforms
to prevent fieas from bothering the
wearers. they needed a supply Of
thousands of fieas for tests in the
Orlando, Fla, laboratory of the bu-
reau of entomology and plant quar-
antine. J. P. Linduska and J. H.
Cochran devised a simple and
satisfactory way of rearing fieas that
called for the effective if unwilling
cooperation of from five to eight
dogs
The experimenters treated the
dogs with good flea powder which
killed the fieaS. This relieved the
dogs from most of their flea troubles,
and the dogs then served as ''fiea
traps" attracting the feas to where
a deadly dose awaits them. The
night hours were the time for har-
vesting the flea eggs. At night each
dog was confined to his kennel,
which had floor of hardware cloth
with mesh through which flea eggs
would drop readily to tight-woven
cloth stretched beneath. When the
dogs scratched as fea-pestered
dogs will-they brushed flea eggs
out of their hairy coats to the col
.ecting cloth, from which the eggs
were transferred in lots of 500 to
jars containing dry sand.
The eggs then hatched in the sand
and provided the experimenters with
an ample supply Of feas for their
research.

Care of Faucets

Don't let faucets drip. Have all
leaking faucets rewashered prompt
ly to prevent waste of water and
fuel, damage to faucet seat, and
discoloration of fixtures. Use high
grade faucet washers whenever re-
placing as they will last longer and
save wear on the faucet seat. Clean
chromium-plated faucets and fit
tings with soap and water and dry
with soft towel. Should rust spots
appear on chromium, scour with
non-abrasive cleanser. same as for
fixtures, and apply film of wax
over the rust spots. Don't pour
hot grease and especially greasy
water down the waste. 1t congeals
and clogs the lines; don't pour cof-
fee grounds down the sink drain.
Sink pipes can be kept clean for
long periods il scalding hot water
is poured dowr them once day.
