Cashmere wool is the soft win
ter underfleece of a small, semi
wild goat that ranges from the
Caspian Sea to western China,
says the National Geographic
Society. Although it gave the
wool its name, the Himalayan-
state of Kashmir itself has COM
paratively few of the goats.
White cashmere is scarcest and
most in demand. Gray and brown
ish gray are other natural shades.
Each goat yields two to four
ounces, compared to the 12-pound
fleece of some sheep. A cash
mere sweater may represent the
wool of six or more goats, while
the yield of 80 might be required
in an overcoat. The wool is never
shorn, but plucked or combed
out painstakingly by hand dur
ing the goats spring mott.

Put the chemical into an old
bucket and pour in the water.

Shall 1t Be Insulation or an Attic Fan?
By Hermon Boum

'T must do something to my
home to make 1t more COM
Portable this summer and have
been considering q choice be-
tween installing insulation in
the attic or putting in a fan.
Since I cannot afford both at
once, which would you recon-
mend? Also please give me some
pointers about the best method
Of installing fan. w. L. D..
AnSwer-A fan will do more
than insulation to make your
home comfortable; during the
summer but It is only a part
time employe. Insulation, on the
other hand. works for you all
the year. During warm summer
days, when outside temperature
is around 80. the air in an attic
will often build up to 100 degrees.
The ceilings below the attic act
as radiant heating system going
full blast.
Insulation will do much to keep
the ceiling a lower temperature
but it cannot keep the interior
OF the house from becoming as
warm as outdoors. AT night, the
cooling off of the house Struc-
ture is slow and rooms may re-
main uncomfortable until the
wee hours of the morning. A
fan of sufficient size in the
attic will prevent high tempera-
lures building up there and will
create a breeze in the house to
make it more comfortable, even
though the thermometer may be
putting steam.
Too often the mistake is made
OF installing a fan too small to
do the job. I have even known
people who expected to cool a
house with kitchen ventilator.
They might just as reasonably
try to heat their house with a
candle. In climates where sum-
mer temperatures reach IS or
above. an air change every MIN
ute is necessary for satisfactory
results. In cooler climates, a
change every two minutes is
satisfactory. Attic fans are well
suited for obtaining these vol
umeS because they are available
in sizes up to 10000 cubic feet
per minute capacity.
Installing the Fan.
The clear opening of lowers
or windows in the attic must be
at least as large as the space
occupied by the fan blades, else
a pressure will be built up in
the attic and greatly reduce the
efficiency of the fan.
Where an attic is equipped
with two or more small lowers
whose total space meets this
requirement, the method of in
Stalling the fan shown at the
top Of the illustration is recon-
mended. A substantial frame is
built around the attic hatch and
the sides covered with plywood,
hardboard or cardboard. One
side or the top must be made
removable to gain access to the
attic. The appearance of the in
stallation can be improved by
installing an "egg crate" louver
in the hatch. This can be made
Of "a" by 11a" wood strips.
For attics with a window, the
lower left Illustration is usually
preferred because it does not OBJ
struct the hatch. Note that the
sides of the inclosure must be
Evening star., 1954-05-15

sloped toward the window open
ing so as not to create turbu-
lence which would lower eff
cheney. The inclosure can be
made so as not to interfere with
the opening and closing of the
window. In this installation it is
important that all other windows
in the attic be kept closed and
other air leaks plugged.
Where space does not permit
the installation Of an attic fan,
a window fan will give good re-
suits. It is often possible to To-
cate a window fan so that two
or more rooms may be cooled. In
our illustration, windows "a" are
open, windows "B" and all other
windows in the house are closed.
When selecting a window fan,
always buy the largest one that
will fit into the available space.
The horsepower or ampere rat
ing printed on the motor name
plate is a better index of the
fan capacity than is the sales
mans arguments about its air
capacity.
Removing Tree Stumps.
please tell me the name of
the chemical used ror removing
tree stumps. ."-R. L. Y.
AnSwer-The chemical used
for removing tree stumps is salt
peter. A bulletin describing this
method is available when your
request is accompanied by a
stamped, self-addressed en-
velope.

Today's
Wor,,er,
BY DOROTHY ROE
AP Women's Editor

Talking with assorted business
men, I've decided that the laziness
of women is one of the chief assets
of American industry.
In fact, the top brains Of science
and finance are constantly at work
to make us even lazier.
We are encouraged to buy auto
matte washing machines, electric
IdishwasherS, electronic devices
for watching the baby, cooking the
roast or opening the garage doors.
Labor-saving devices are among
the most important products of our
industrial age.
We are pampered by food com.
panieS which do all our cooking
for us. We can buy anything from
chicken pot pie to French horS
Id'Oeuvres in frozen food packages,
ready to heat and serve.

piOn cake baker is a package of
one of the popular cake mixes.
Biscuits and hot rolls that grandma
used to labor hours to make are
ours in a package.
The modern trend toward less
drudgery and more fun is a con-
slant delight to the top brass of
US. industry.
My most recent conversation on
the economic Importance of being
lazy was with a big. genial Irish
man named Dan Mahony, a mer-
chandising executive for Tulip
Cup Corp. Naturally he thinks it's
a crime to have to wash dishes
and believes everybody should use
paper cups, plates and containers.
He says:
1--WE don't even have to work
very hard to convince people that
it's more fun to live informally.
No woman ever really enjoyed
washing diSheS-that's for sure.
And today's trend toward back
yard dining, barbecues, patio par
ties and TV snacks is right up our
alley.

is gone, thank goodness. Your
