kew-Type Door
Using Floating
Action Developed
By D. M. Derwin

A new type of door that operates
on the principle of floating action is
now being marketed. It Is a new
concept of door function and design
in which the floating action door
hanger gives noiseless, finger-tip ac-
ton. This Is not a sliding door.
In fact, the door only appears to
slide, since, in use, 1t is cantilevered
in and out of a wall pocket like a
sliding door but has neither tracks
at the floor nor hangers above at the
ceiling. It Is so balanced that 1t
moves back and forth at the slight
est touch of fingertip. A child
can operate 1t.
This new door is suspended by q
steel scissor mechanism which is
noiseless, fool-proof and so rugged
and simple that it is virtually i'm
possible for it to get out of order
The mechanism is easily installed
there being only two brackets and
two runners-one set to the door
and the other to the back cripple.
This floating door can be installed
In any regulation 4-inch wall either
in a new home or in remodeling
Verticle clearance allowed is Is
inch at the top and 7s-inch at
bottom. The door should clear the
pocket by 1s-inch either side. A
removable jamb must be provided
to give access to adjusting brackets
at top Of the door. When the jamb
is removed, the door can be slid
over for adjustment, or removed
If necessary. The bracket permits
easy horizontal or vertical adjust
ment.
A shock spring acts not only as
a cushion, but with a gentle push
of the finger. provides recoil for
starting the door out of its pocket.

Saw Housing Need.
I'VE figured that housing was
needed, and we went ahead" a
spokesman for the firm said.
The demand is still here for
apartments. but the rents must be
somewhat lower. We're trying hard
to produce one-bedroom apart
mentS now to rent for around $40
and two-bedroom apartments for
about $82"
Rents for those turned out in the
last year were somewhat higher, the
firm said, with one bedroom apart
ments renting generally for about
$75 to $85 and two bedrooms from
about $85 to $685."
At peak period of operation, the
firm has had as many as TOO men
on its own payroll. the spokesman
said. Together with workmen of
subcontractors, it was estimated
that as many as 1000 persons, all
told, were provided with employ
ment at peak periods.
@s Also Builds Houses. i
The firm has specialized in apart
ment buildings, although it is
building several shopping centers
and has completed about $50 houses
since 1899. The bulk of its apart

BRIGHT SKIES AND sunny late
fall weather helped to bring out a
record crowd of buyers and a record
number of sales of purebred bulls at
the fourth annual carlot bull sale
held at Billings Public Stockyards,
Billings, Dec. 5-6-7.
An official count near the close
of the three-day selling period
showed a total of 3O5 bulls sold,
according to Dale Lynch, sales man
ager. This figure together with
strong prices received by consignors
throughout the three days would in
dictate that this was the most Sue
cessful sale of the series.
Buyers were present from every
part of Montana, and from Wyo-
ming, Texas, Idaho, Oregon and the
Dakotas. Representative sales made
during the event follow:

The biggest menace to the

strain. "But there are arguments
in favor of the Chinese strain,

that I can continue to produce

Braves Deny Planning
To Acquire Robinson
For S250,000 Cash
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. Both
Brooklyn and Boston baseball Off
cials stoutly denied today a report
that Jackie Robinson, the
Dodgers stellar second baseman,
had been sold to the Braves for a
Wad of cash and talent.
The Washington Times Herald,
in a dispatch from New York, re-
ported it had learned Robinson
would go the Braves for $250,000
and two unnamed players.
The official announcement Of
the deal is being held up until
after the World Series, the paper
added.
A Brooklyn spokesman who de-
clined use Of his name termed the
report "poppycock."
Billy Southworth, manager of
the Braves who was given a late
season leave of absence. said he
was positive there was no founda-
ton to the report.
II haven't heard of it and I am
sure I would have been consulted"
he said.
The most heated denial came
from Billy Sullivan. the Braves
public relations director. 1--WE have
never tried to buy Robinson and
you can bet that Brooklyn is not
willing to sell him."
Sullivan said the Braves were
adequately fixed at second base
with Eddie Stanky. Sibby Sisti and
a fashy hired hand named Roy
Hartsfield, who was voted the most
valuable player of the American
Association as a member Of the
Milwaukee Brewers, this year.
"Why, Branch Hickey won't
even talk about selling one of his
players until the World Series is
over" Sullivan said.

Jethroe from him via Montreal.
we inquired about another player
or so-not Robinson. Mr.. Hickey
wouldn't even talk about it until
