But inside the Dun j5f Ray$ fojr JFisel - KU WIW1HEB, AiNIJ pjOL liN TUKKIU SUMMKK By S. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Correspondent CHICAGO People who live in glass houses don't have to worry ubout the fuel shortage as much as the rest of us do. That lis one reason why many archi' ,tects believe that after the war a great many of us are going to want glass houses. Kven when ithere is plenty of coal, oil and gas, it will continue to cost money. To demonstrate, let's take the case of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Dun can, who have a six-room house ,in Homcwood, III., a Chicago Bub jurb. 1 I One night the thermometer cutside dropped, as it does some times in the lake region, to 17 degrees below zero. The next day, try as it would, the mercury never could get above 5 degrees cans' house everything was cozy. At B;JU that below-zero morn ing, the house was warmed up to 70 degrees, and the thermostat shut off their gas furnace. All day the inside temperature stayed at or above 70. It was necessary to open windows, at times, to cool off. At 8:30 that evening, the heat was turned on again. It is doubtful whether many homes in the United States that day, in the sub-zero latitudes, maintained 70-degree heat for 12 hours without hdrning any fuel except the gas pilot light's con sumption. That the Duncans did is attested by records of the Illi nois Institute of ' Technology, which was keeping minute-by-mlnule records in a study of home heating by sunlight. ' The Duncans' residence is not, ij. : l Scientifically designed windows and eaves control sun's rays to gain maximum heat in winter and chut out warmth In summer. Crops Benefitted By Spring Rains; Field Work Lags PORTLAND, May 17 (UP) Rainfall to May 13 was termed "generally" useful today to crops, pastures and ranges, but accord ing to the U. S. department of commerce crop condition bulle tin, field work is retarded. Winter wheat in Oregon was found generally good, nut weedy in places and showing some drought Injury in some locali ties. Seeding of spring grain continues, and winter barley if beginning to head. Considerable corn has been planted, and some is up. All needs warmer weath er. Fruit Condition Varios Outlook for pears and apple? continues good, but peacho., prunes, and apricots show light set. Malheur county is short need ed labor for thinning sugar beets. Vale county beets are being thin ned, also. Benton county first crop alfalfa is nearing maturity; in Baker, is well started; in Wheeler, is growing well. Grain over wide areas is good but laic. Tomatoes In Jackson county are doing well; In Umatilla, planting of the commercial crop is completed, and m the Pendle ton areu they arc being planted. CORVALLIS, Ore., May 17 (UP) A water supply prospects summary released by the Oregon State college experiment station reflects little change in general conditions from those of early April to May 1. Total reservoir storage is 2 Mi per cent over the figure of a year ago,' but is IB per cent under thut of 1943. . Expansion of Rural Power Lines Planned ST.

Such buildings can be of brick, stone, or wood shingled, t'lapboarded, or bark cov.'ied logs. They can be- ol conventional design Cape Code, Victorian, Dutch Colonial or, like the Duncans', they can be modei'h and functional. A srilur bouse is planned, from the beginning, to permit a maxi mum of sunlight' to enter as muny rooms as possible In winloi time through several times the traditional amount of glass win dow area. This requires careful reference to compass points ond scientific orientation of winodws to sun locations. Naturally ,a house with super- windows to admit the sun's heat will be also a bright, light house. And the windows arc made of a new type of pane, designed by Libby-Owens-Ford, in which two sheets of glass are mounted in metal so that they are separated by a hermetically-sealed layer of dehydrated air, which lets the aun's rays in but keeps furnace heat from getting out; and which neither frosts nor mists, what ever the differences-in temper ature may be, outside and inside. The Duncans' house is one of 30 erected in Chicago just before the building ban. It was selected as a test house, and careful rec ords were kept. Using gas for fuel, engineers expected that the six ample, high -ceiled rooms would cost $180 a year to heat in I the Chicago winter. The year's I bills, from October 23 to October 23, were $120.55. Many Factors Cut U. S. Meat Supply WASHINGTON, May 17 (UU) Price Administrator Chester Howies said today .jthat OPA "hopes" there will be more moitt for civilians later this year. In such a case, he said, point values will go down. i He made the prediction in a statement explaining for the benefit of housewives why they don't find as much ruat on but cher's shelves as government fig ures would lead the'rfi to expect. He said the bureau, of agricul tural economics announced re cently thut the civilian meat sup ply during April, May and June was enough to total- an annual rate of 115 pounds per person. Bowles pointed out that actual ly only about half that amount will cross butchers' counters. The rest, he said, is taken care of by shrinkage and meat used by res taurants, manufacturers, farmer.' and the black market. Official Records Water turned on, May 10: .
