ization which has done so much for
the advancement of scientific re-
search and also to the public spir-
tied Delaware citizens who COM
prise the State Tax Board and our
State Tax Commissioner, Mr.. How
ard Abbott, without whose COM
plete cooperation this valuable
study in the field of economics
could not be undertaken" The
study will be under the direction of
Mr.. Gilbert Kaskey and Mr.. Bern
ard Clyman of the University Staff.
Both of these men have been men,
bers of the University Faculty

salt, is our most concentrated form
of sodium.
Solium holds water within the
body and in some disorders in
metabolism too much water is re-
tanned.
We have always been opposed to
the liberal use of salt in cooking
or being added to cooked food.
This is not from any water reten-
tion feature but that salt should be
used to bring out the flavor of
foods and not used to the point of
covering the natural flavor and
having all foods taste primarily of
salt.
The present knowledge of sodium
reactions in the body do not indi-
cate that excessive amounts cause
apprehension or in any way lead to
cardiac disorders. However, strict
limitation of sodium is often rec
commended in the treatment of
them.

to the researchers the value of the

Dashboard
Heating Does
Efficient Job

Tests conducted by the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards show
that the Dashboard heating Sys-
tenn is well-suited for basement
less houses, reports American
Builder magazine.
This was found to be true be-
cause the heating system Is IN
stalled above the floor. The tests
also showed that Dashboard heat
ing provides better comfort at
the floor level then most other
systems. The magazine points out,
however, that this type system
also can be used in houses hav-
ing easements with the boiler
located below the floor.
Increased use of Dashboard
heating systems in low-cost hous-
ing gives added significance to
the results of the tests conducted
by the Bureau, unit of the U. s..
Department of Commerce.
The Bureau found this type of
heating system to be efficient,
clean and economical, says Amer
ican Builder. Dashboard heating
involves a minimum of air move
ment. Another advantage is that
the heating elements-not much
thicker or higher than base
board - are almost entirely re-
moved from the useful area OF
the living space.
Results of the tests indicated
that comparatively small tenn
perature differences existed be-
tween the rooms and between
different levels in the same room
according to the publication
Compared to the performance Of
a gravity hot water heating sys-
tenn with conventional thin tube
radiators and the boiler in the
basement, the Dashboard convec-
tor was found to provide more
even distribution of temperature
between floor and ceiling.

O. Does a person have TO be in

gram. A retired worker, his wife
or widow. and minor children may
qualify for benefits without regard

they claim benefits had been furn-
ishing at least half their support.
Q. Can a person receive monthly
insurance benefits if he has earn
ings from work?
A. Beneficiaries ages IS and
over may receive benefits regard
less of the amount of their earn
1ngs. A beneficiary under that age
win have his benefits suspended if
he does more than a limited
amount of work. If he works for
wages in covered employment, he
