Slab Survey
II want to lay out a con-
crete slab adjoining my house
and will erect a porch on it
later. Must I get a surveyor
to stake out the corners so
they will be square2" D. L. I.
asks.
Answer-Thanks to a fell
low named Pythagoras, you
do not need a surveyor to
stake out these right angle
corners. All you need is a
measuring tape or rule and
some stout cord. Starting at
one known corner of the
porch, measure three feet
along one side. From this
same corner, measure four
feet along the adjacent side,'
When the line connecting the
outer ends of these two
measurements to form the
hypoteneuse of a triangle Is
exactly five feet long, you
have a perfectly square cor
ner.,

cape and much Of it goes up
through the ceiling. II the
attic is also sealed as tight
as a hens egg, the water
vapor attempts to pass
through the roof.
The roof shingles curl like
well-fried bacon and, if you
live in a cold, damp climate,
ice forms on the underside of
the roof, only to drip down
and wreck the ceiling plaster
with the first thaw. Properly
sized attic lowers are most
important to prevent this
condition.
There are many forms
Of attic louvers and it Is
not important which
one you choose. The impor-
tant detail is that it must
be large enough to properly
ventilate the attic space.
These louvers should be as
high in the gables as the de-
sign Of the house permits.
There must be no less than
two and these should be To-
Gated at opposite sides Of the
roof 50 as to provide cross
ventilation.
The accepted rule for
louver size is that each must
provide one square foot of
opening for every 300 square
of attic floor area. When
figuring these openings, OBJ
structions such as screens
and louver partitions must
be taken into consideration.
If the ventilation opening
is provided with a wood lou
yer and 16 mesh insect

opening must be three times

THE ANDERsoNvILLE TRIAL

THE ANDERSONVILLE TRIAL
In the bitter wake of the AM
erican Civil War. Captain Henry
Writ was tried by Court Martial
for having allowed thousands of
Union soldiers to die of neglect
in the Andersonville prison camp.
Situated in Georgia, the camp
consisted of an open, swampy
compound devoid of shelter or
sanitation.
Captain Writ was under strict
orders to feed his prisoners as
little as possible, chase and shoot
them with blood hounds when
they tried to escape, and to treat
them inadequately when they fell
i'll. AS the military position of
the South worsened, less and less
food became available and Cap
tain Writes prisoners died like
flies.
The Andersonville Trial took
place before military tribunal
presided over by Union General
Lew Wallace. Though the South
ern troops had been granted a
general amnesty, feeling against
the Confederacy still ran high.
The excellently acted court
room drama turned about a NOR
al question: Should a soldier be
convicted for carrying out inhu-
man orders though he disagreed
with them? Captain Writ,
deeply religious man argued that
he tried to be relieved of his post
at Andersonville but was order
ed to remain. According to the
military code he was therefore
obliged to oversee the certain
death of the Union soldiers. The
tribunal was in no mood to allow
this line of defense. If soldier
could countermand orders that he
considered wrong, no army could
long function.
Like squirrel fallen among
jackals, Writ had little chance
Of evading his tormentors. Seek
ing a popular verdict, the young
Judge Advocate paraded his wit
nesses against Writ like an UNI
dertaker putting nails into cof-
fin. For a moment he too won
dered if Wirtz wasn't simply a
"good" soldier, carrying out or
ders, but prejudice ran high and
Captain Wirtz as many others be-
came another human sacrifice to
the futility of WAR.

Want To Look Younqer2
Join Many on Marathon
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
Register and Tribune Syndicate

l know that it is entirely possible for you
to look from to 10 years younger eight weeks
from now. have seen it happen to so many
in my figure molding classes, and thousands
OF letters from readers tell me the same thing
1t is always very exciting to me to watch
the change in woman from overweight to
correct weight. from bulges to curves from
fatigue to more energy and from self-con-
sciousneSs to self-confidence.
There's no doubt about it! Most of us are
influenced by the way we look.
Change Outlook
Sometimes a loss Of weight changes a
woman's entire outlook. This is most exciting
of all
Many times husbands have thanked me
for the change in their wives.
One such man said, It's not only that
she looks so much prettier but the change in
her personality is amazing.
She used to like to swim and dance but
had given them up Now she is enjoying them
again. She had lost interest in clothes and
therefore had become careless generally about
her appearance. She just seems happier and
younger"
Well as most of you know, am running
my Eight-Week Self improvement Marathon
this week, the idea being to see how much you
can improve your appearance in eight weeks
time, with my help.
Yesterday told you that you would have
to cut your calorie count to from 200 to 400
calorieS day if you wish to lose from Is to 20
pounds in eight weeks also gave you some
general information about how to plan a
reducing diet in order to obtain the essentials
for health.
Some Hints
Today let me give you some hints about
how to make reducing easier
In the first place do not skip breakfast
1t is an accepted fact that the most successful
reducerS eat breakfast Divide your daily
calorie count into three meals
If you wish you can save some items for
in-between meals. but be sure that they are
counted in the 1900 calories a day Some
women like to have a glass of skim milk or
fruit Juice or fresh fruit between meals You
might want to eat some carrot or celery sticks
Substitute fresh or canned twaterpacked)
fruit for desserts.
