LANGLEY BECOMES EMBER OF 1 Mani Who Developed First Transmitter Joins Crosley Radio Corporation FE 0 MONTH FOR HUPP Indicative of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation's plans to mke 1927 the most successful year in its history is Its statement that shipments of Hupmobiles during February were 4106 cars. This is the greatest February shipment in its history, and Is a 49 per cent In crease over January. Its March production and ehip ping schedules have been set at the highest figure the company ever attained, says R. S. Cole, gen eral sales manager. "We are continuing to increase our capacity, .both In our eight and six cylinder divisions," he said. The demand for each of those cars this year will be the largest we have ever enjoyed. Ad ditional plant capacity will become available the latter part of- this month and In April. This Trill per mit of : material gains over our record sales of 1926." Mr. Cole reports that shipments of two of the three Hupmobile Eight custom body models were started in February. These three models, of Dietrich custom design, are the town car, sedan-limousine and. five passenger sedan. Ad vancedmodes of design and con struction, even for custom cars, are found in each model. One feature of these' custom cars that the company Is stressing is the non-shatterable glass in all . -windows, together with . front win dftw nillara of bronze casting, com- Lbining great -strength with re markable clear vision. ,- . : . - - Addition of these three custom models to the Hupmobile i Eight line gives the buyer a choice of 14 boXly styles from "which to select, together with a wide range of C&CINNATI, O. (Special) Theman who developed the first airplane radio transmitter has joiiied the forces of the Crosley Raiio corporation. 7hls man is Ralph n. -Langley, cn of the leading engineers of th radio industry. In his new capacity he will be assistant to Pqwel Crosley, Jr., and will have supervision, under Mr. Crosley, of thte corporation's technical and engineering enterprises. ;For six years past Mr. Langley 1 s had charge of receiving set de velopment for the General Elec tllcal company at Schenectady. He fathered many important de velopments in radio and was inti mately connected with the crea tion of the super heterodyne. ' He supervised construction of tbe first combined receiving set and loud speaker. Mr. Langley's most conspicuous achievement probably was the perfection of the first airplane transmitter. This was accomplish ed when he was connected with the Marconi company at Roselle Fark, N. J. He also directed the tusts of this apparatus at Norfolk, Virginia. m Mr. Langley ranks with the most distinguished scientists in the industry. He was one of its pioneers and he has been one of tin leaders in its progress. - Mr. Langley has been a propon ent of the use of frequencies in stead of wave lengths in radio de- Eiftn. He predicts, in the near future, the development of a re ceiving set calibrated in frequen cies instead of wave lengths. This set, he says, will be a single dial control with 96 channels, equally spaced on the dial. He also foresees the develop ment- of a combined radio and television apparatus, with the lour speaker behind the screen. Both the receiving set and' the television apparatus would be op erated by the same dial. Mr. Langley already has assum ed his position with Mr. Crosley, SELECTING COLOR SCHEMES IN ORDER Every Homeowner Soon to Be Inspired by New Life Spring Brings Forth By Janes Stewart The days are fast approaching when every home will be Inspired by the new life which each spring brings forth, to keep pace with the freshness of nature. Drab exter iors will seem out of place in a setting of bright green leaves and blooming foliage. Then, too, spring is a convenient and favor able time of the year to paint be cause of weather conditions. It will generally be chosen by the home owner who is primarily in terested in the preservation of his property, as well as the one who is chiefly moved by artistic con siderations. In painting a house, even if the owner is paintiig for purely econ omic reasons, due consideration should be given to beauty. It is just as easy to apply the paint. It requires a little forethought and care. Color, which always plays a dominent, role in determining ar tistic effect, is particularly Im portant for the exterior of homes. Even more than the lines and con struction of the house, it reflects the character of its owner. It can be an expression of cheer and life, or one of depression and gloom. It can make the home pleasingly modest or glaringly conspicuous. Several points must be taken into consideration in making the selection, the size, the type, and the location of the house. A large h o u 8 e with fairly extensive grounds,-is adapted to almost any scheme. But a small house on a small lot, requires particular thought. Light, 'bright colors give an effect of Increased size and are therefore well adapted to such conditions. A good point to re member is that a trim lighter than the background makes a small house look larger, while a trim darker than the background gives the opposite effect.- For instance a small house of pearl gray might well be trimmed in deep cream. whereas a good combination for a larger house of the same color would be dark gray. The present tendency is to break away from conventional color schemes. In fact, experience has proved the popularity of houses of unusual exteriors, which are found to sell more readily than those of more conservative tone. The usual white and green for colonial architecture is fast giving away to deep cream or Ivory with sage green or blue shutters and trimmings. Even yellow Is sometimes used for this type of house, with blue. The c o m blnations appropriate for houses which belong to no particular period or style offer endless variety colonial yellow and dark tan; dark gray and sage green; light cream and pale olive green; stone gray and gun metal gray; ivory and medium blue. These are but a few of number less attractive schemes. A new Idea may often be evolved simply by varying the tint of a conven tional combination cream and blue, green, for instance, is, more interesting than white and green. However, the more striking combinations are not always suit able. For a house prominently located, a soft neutral tone is far better, being somewhat recessive in effect. The bright .colors, so pleasing amidst trees and foliage make an unsheltered house glar ingly conspicuous. Again, when neighboring houses are close by and are brightly painted, the ef fect of the whole must be consid ered. Due though given to these sev eral factors will be well worth the trouble. With the coming of spring make sure not only that your house is armed against the ravaging effects of weather by a protective coat of paint, but that the colors selected are suitable, pleasing and artistic. Rumors of Unsold Lumber Stocks in East Discredited PORTLAND, Ore. (Special) Rumors of a steady accumulation of unsold west coast softwoods at the new Mystic river lumber ter minal of Wiggln Terminals, Inc., near Boston, and the prospect for a great deal more before spring, have been discredited by officials of the terminal company, accord ing to a dispatch from Boston published In the Four L Lumber News here today. Says the re port from Boston: "Since the public lumber ter minal opened its service for west coast shippers and eastern con signees 12 weeks ago, according to the officials, a total of 12,000,000 feet of west coast lumber has been unloaded there. Now remaining in storage at the terminal there is only 1,000.000 feet of fir, hem lock; all the rest has been sold and delivered and part of the 1,000,000 feet in storage has been sold and is waiting shipping orders. -- LET US 7 rS SERV . .Y-O-Uf "The builder's train of thought needs a conductor named 'Conscience.'
