Suppose the same attention were given to road accidents? Numbers of buses come to grief, sometimes with loss of life. Nothing much is said about them.

Something of the Joy of Building With Notes on Choice of Site, Founda- tion, etc., for the Summer Home. The idea swept the state. Scores of carpenters, out of work for months. suddenly found their services in de- mand. Lumber yards were deluged with orders for materials. Husbands handy with tools set about the manufacture of a cooling system. Build a box out. of some insulated material such as compoboard and set] How It’s Done And what is this revolutionary idea? Very simple. You do it this way :‘ Equipped with an“ old electric fan, a. few tools, some scraps of lumber and a lot of ingenuity, this anonymous but loudly-praised inventor built his own air-conditioning plant. It was cheap because it had to be, and, surprisingly, it worked. Sleep Outdoors . But, in the homes, it was a different story. Air-conditioning plants were (and still are) too expensive for all except wealthier residents. ‘80 whole families suffered through the days as best they could and, at night, moved en masse onto their lawns to sleep on cots or on pallets. This summer, however, arose a pro- phat of better conditions. This hero, said to be a relief-roll worker at Glen- dale, a few miles north of Phoenix. cursed the heat and set to work to do something about it. With the advent of air-cooling, store and office employees displayed more energy. Customers flocked in, if only to get cool. 80 degrees while the mercury in the street outside hovered at 115 or higher. Air-conditioning} however, has now brought welcome relief.

I Invention for | Coo in: Hot Rooms: (By Stewart Fielding), _ Insulation as an idea is something a lot or people talk about, but until recently few really understood.

Build preferably of some material that will not require too much careâ€"â€" pine is among the sidings that require no paint or staining; they weather beautifully, reducing original cost and upkeep. Select a site that is well drained.

This material is durable, economical, ver- minproof and fireproof. Nearly all dealers carry it in stock toâ€"day. The material is very easily and cheaply in- stalled, gives excellent insulation and will last just as long as the building. The old idea of “I can’t afford in- sulation,” no longer holds true. be- The best types of insulation are now offered to the public at such low prices that they are within the reach of :verybody who owns or rents a dwel- ling. The best type of insulation to-day comes in the form of a wool, which strongly resembles ordinary cotton batting. This type of insulation, pro- perly installed on the attic floor of the average dwelling, will pay for itself in approximately three years through the saving in fuel, plus the added com- fort in more even temperatures in the upstairs and downstairs of the house. The same feature of. insulation that keeps the heat in the building in the winter time keeps the heat out in the summer. To those who work at night and sleep during the daytime, in the hot summer months, this is an especial;- ly attractive feature. An Unnecessary Tax .If your home is not insulated you are paying your proportionate share of that extra $30,000,000 expenditure, which is entirely unnecsssary. You are paying for insulation whether you have it or not. You can readily tell uninsulated homes because the snow melts off the roof. Furnaces are taxed to capacity in the cold weather and approximate- ly 60 per cent. of the avoidable heat loss goes up through the roof and you are using coal to furnish heat to melt the snow off your roof. Surely you are not buying coal for that purpose. Attic insulation alone will stop to a large extent your loss of heat. Properly in- sulated attics prevent the heat from passing up through the roof and the snow therefore, stays on yO’ur roof‘ and in itself forms additional insulation. The Dominion Government has com- pleted a survey which Indicates that if the dwellings alone in Canada were properly insulated against cold, there would be an annual saving of $30,000.- 000 in fuel bills. . Suspension and motionless, forms a non-conductor of cold and those ice and snow houses are kept comfortably warm. Wepin the civilized areas, do not have to rely on nature for the. sup- plying of our insulating materials. Highly efficient insulating materials manufactured for just that purpose have been developed .vor our use xvi-thin the past few years because people have come to realize that insulation is not an expensive luxury, but rather an ab- solute necessity in every type of dwel- ling and practically all types of build- mg.
