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,

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. .

strictly speaking, a glass house.
It is what architects speak of as
a "solar house." 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.
