JaUdOlJjL-AIJa CONCRETE ROOF TILE ' Now Made in Salem It has proven itself by years of ; use and tests i in the laboratory. Offers you a beautiful, fire proof , vfater-tight, and lasting roof at a price that is truly reasonable in the field of perman ent materials. - ; ESTIMATE GLADLY FURNISHED Made, Placed and Guaranteed by The Cottage Grove committee worked but three weeks on their project and produced remarkable results', although the idea of the committee was simply to make a beginning, with a view to more ex tensive demonstrations In future years. The demonstration includ ed the exhibition of labor-saving devices for the home. A model kitchen contest was also conduct ed and the campaign received the support of churches, newspapers and merchants. Considerable in terest was aroused. In addition to this, and perhaps more impor tant, was the demonstration of four new houses belonging to res idents of the town. j At Salem, the committee ' was supported by the Chamber of Com merce, the Marion-Polk : Realty board, three women's clubs, the Floral society and the men's civic clubs. A six room house was loaned to the committee by its owner for demonstration purposes and, this-was visited by a large number of people, who listened to lectures . on better homes - and viewed demonstrations of labor saving devices. At McMinnville Mrs. I M. W Hayncs. chairman, displays espe cially arranged for Better Homes week were on view In shop win dbws. At Pendleton and Seaside Mrs. Bertha K. Hagmeier and Miss Marilla Dunning, chairmen the! campaign received newspaper notice and Better Homes programs were held at the women's clubs Of 306 committees scattered throughout the United; States which already reported their dem onstrations' in detail, 86 exhibited one or more model homes, or demonstration houses, according to Dr. James Ford, executive di rector of the organization. Alto gether, 110 houses were demon strated. The average (median) cost of these houses was $5551, which is consistent with the aim of Better Homes in America to encourage and assist in the build ing and owning of homes by fami lies with moderate incomes. ! In 756 communities there were local Better Homes committees, with chairmen appointed by Her bert Hoover, president of Better Homes in America. The chairmen were usually women active in club or civic work in their locality; and the other members were fre quently town and city officials, bankers, building and loan asso ciation officials, representatives of Chambers of Commerce and civic organizations, and prominent bus iness men and women. In every case the committees served in a spirit of disinterested unselfish cooperation. Prizes were awarded to the local . committees reporting the best demonstrations. The com mittee on awards divided the con testing communities into three classes, towns of 10.000 and over, communities of less than 10,000, and those demonstrating school practice houses. In the first -di vision Kalamazoo, Michigan, won he first prize of $500; Atlanta, Georgia, being second, winninjg a $200 prize and Cireenvllle. S- C. third, with a $100 prize. Fourth prizes of $50 each were awarded to Fairmont, W. Va., Lockport. N. Y., New Rochelle, N. Y.,,and West Palm Beach, Fla. Among tbe contestants' in the rural class, Albemarle county, rva., won first prize of $200. Coaton, Kentucky and Conway, Arkansas, tied for second place, . and )rere each awarded with a $75.00 prize. Ft. Lauderdale. Fla.; and Rejlay, Md. tied for third place and each received an award of $50.00. St. Helena Island, S. C, won the special prize of $200.00 for school practice house demonstrations. Residence Properties, and Lots are Sold Th is Week With the Radio Headquarters store, now moved to its new loca tion in the: Hughes building! on the comer of Ferry and High streets. Salem has the largest and most fully equipped exclusive ra dio stare in the state. A. J. Bak er, and C. O. Miller, co-partners in the., store, are both radio en thusiasts, and have built up a business in their line which can not be 'equalled by a store in Ore gon including Portland. , The f Radio Headquarters store was opened September 1 at a lo cation n Commercial street, but business has Increased to such an extent that it has been necessary to move to the new location. Every known reliable make of radio sets is kept in stock, and machines of almost every kind are on .hand ready for, installa tion. The Zenith, Magnavox, At- water-Kient, i and Grebbe, all reli able and preferred makes are available. JuNt Turn on the, Juice ' The day of the outside aerial is almost' passed, according to Mr. Baker. The i new sets do not re quire outside wires, and while this has in the past been a neces sity to get clearness,! the new makes are so delicately adjusted as to make this no longer neces sary. One particular creation, the new Zenith radio set, even does away with the need of batteries, and this will be a big boon ' to those people who dislike to bojth er with them. The new. set pro vides for power through a motor connected with the electric Eight socket. To tune up the radio, one merely has to turn on. the electric juice, get the proper wave length, and enjoy, the various programs being broadcasted. A Trouble Department In addition to a complete stofck of radio sets, the store ' keeps in stock all different parts for any machine, and radio , experts are available to any one wha has trouble with a set, and this serv ice will bo, given at a reasonable charge. An exchange department ,is be ing put in and anyone possessing unneeded parts can exchange them for those which can be used, or the parts can be placed on sale at the store. For the Amateurs An amateur's work bench is also a feature of the place. Boys may bring their radio troubles and set practical instruction to wards correction, or they may bring the sets to the store, and.' work on them there ' Without charge. - I Mr. Baker estimates that there are about 800 radio sets In 'the city of Salem, and the radio busi ness is assuming proportions lit tle dreamed of a few months, ago.
