More Light Is Urged
As Safety Feature
For Small Homes
By W. Wordsworth Wood

In large proportion Of the pres
ent-day small-house building, it is
the general practice to omit many
items which are not absolutely es-
sential to the structure. Among
these are lights which give the
occupants greater convenience or
greater safety.
It is a fact that houses which are
built to order are not considered
modern today unless they have
lights which go on automatically
when a closet door is opened, and
lights which can be controlled from
upstairs or from the master bed
room. Lights at the garage entrance
which can be shut of from the
house, also are everyday equipment
All of these may be considered
more or less of luxury, but there
is no luxury about light at the
entrance to the house so that the
homeowner can see who is at the
door, nor is there any luxury about
light at the top Of basement
stairs. in the upper hall or in any
other spot where darkness may mean
fall or an accident The installa-

New Elevator System
Remembers Those
Who Wait Too Iona

Ideas for more and less ele-
vator service was to be found
in this weeks building news.
In New York City, an ele-
vator manufacturer announced
an electrenic traffic control sys-
tenn which remembers" the
forgotten passenger-the person
who presses the button futilely
while full cars pass his floor.
When such a passenger has
waited 60 seconds, the next
empty car will 60 directly to
| his floor and give him express
service to his destination, &C
cording to the manufacturer.
In Cambridge, Mass, how
ever, sponsors Of an apartment
building project announced the
elevators would stop only at
every third floor of the 12-story
structure. Private stairways
would give access to apartments
on the intermediate floors, in
creasing "roominess and pri-
vacy," it was explained.

Aid to Houses
Expert Gives Hints
On Pipe Protection
For Trailer Folk
BY Roger c. Whitman

QUESTION: have trouble with
freezing of the water pipe leading
from the we'll to my trailer. I made
wooden box, 4 X 4 inches. and
filled 1t with insulation, but the
ground-water soaked around the in
sulation and froze the water pipe.
I found this by digging the line
open. The ground contains plenty Of
moisture. I am planning to put a
4-inch tile over the vertical length
of water pipe and fill it up with
hot tar, solid. Will the frost go
through the solid tar and freeze?
The horizontal pipe is laid feet
down below the ground level.
ANSWER: If you live in a very
cold part of the country, the hori-
zontal pipe preferably should be
laid we'll below the frost level. TIE
following method is generally used
for boxing in water pipe:
The pipe should be covered with a
thick felt experimentation. Insulation
then should be placed inside the
box, consisting of mica pellets or a
moisture-repellent rock wool. There
should be at least inches Of space
to fill in between the insulated pipe
and all sides of the box, more for
temperatures much below freezing.
All joints of the box should be made
watertight by forcing in caulking-
compound. This also should be done
where the pipe enters the box.
After putting on the cover. give
the box a couple of heavy coats Of
asphalt paint to keep out the n1ois-
ture. The trouble with your method
was that your box was not water
tight, and the water got in around
the insulation. The above method
cannot be guaranteed to prevent
freezing when temperatures go far
below zero for a long time. A good
plumber should be able to handle
the job for you.

Home Godgets-
. New Defrostine Unit
Increases Efficiency
Of Refrigerotors
Ry D. IA. Derwin
By D. M. Derwin

Ice that accumulates on a freeZ.
ing unit acts as an insulator, there.
by reducing the efficiency of the
unit. This ice requires excessive re.
frigerator motor operation, which
is reflected automatically in in
creased electrical costs.
A new electrical gedget that elimi.
mates the manual defrosting nuis.
ance now is being marketed. This
new automatic unit defrosts the re.
frigerator every night and requires
no attention after being mounted
1t eliminates the necessity of clean.
ing out excess ice and water. II
modernizes electrical refrigerators
regardless of age.
BY maintaining a thin film Of
frost or ice accumulation, this unit
steps up the efficiency of the re.
frigerator. Ice is an insulator. II
no ice accumulates on the freezing
unit, therefore the box is giving
utmost efficiency at all times; where
as if a box is defrosted manually
at weekly or Today intervals, II
begins losing its efficiency after the
first day.
Automatic defrosting helps pre-.
vent food from dehydrating. Ice
on the freezing unit comes from
food through a drying-out process
This defrosting unit maintains 6
circulation of moisture in the DO,
every day. In addition to giving
longer refrigerator life and GU
in maintenance bills, 1t gives th'
refrigerator a sweeter scent.
This automatic defroster is easy
to install. The refrigerator core
plugs into the unit. The defrostel
unit is guaranteed by the manu-.
facturer.
