Packages Analyzed
For Drug Contents
Seattle, Apr. 3 (U.R) Feder
al narcotic bureau chemists to
day were analyzing the contents
of 16 packages believed to con
tain morphine.
A. B. Chisler, director of the
local federal narcotics bureau,
said two men were being held
in connection with the seizure,
and two other men escaped des
pite shots fired at them by
agents.
Crisler said three agents made
arrangements to buy narcotics
from four peddlers. The sale was
to take place Saturday night.
He said the men met each oth
er in their autos, remaining in
the cars while the transactions
occurred. One of the arrested
men handed the 16 packages
from his car to the agent's ve
hicle. But when the trio of agents
tried to seize the peddlers, two
leaped from the car and disap
peared in tne aaricness.
- If the contents of the packages
prove to be morphine, its value
will be about $150,000 and one
of the largest seizures in tne
Pacific northwest, Chrisler said.
Using of Prisoners
On Jobs Protested
Several county officials here to
day formally protested a ciacKa
mas county grand jury's recom
mendation that long-term coun
ty jail prisoners be employed on
county road crews.
The grand jury report sajd
prisoners might be used in
"manual and gainful work out
side the county jail on county
roads and county projects." It
reported to Circuit Judge Ralph
M. Holman Friday.
Two members of the county
court and a representative of the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal employes
have objected. County Judge E.
L. Pope said the plan is imprac
tical because prisoners escape
and the cost is prohibitive.
Commissioner Stan Skoko
added that the county would
have to furnish additional
guards and meals in voicing his
objection. Roadmaster Ralph

Sawdust Walls i
Fred Cassidy not Hopalong
has been having heating troubles
all winter; as who hasn't? Fred
deserves our aid and comfort, for
he is one of the best friends go
ing, to both writers and log
gers. He is a crack salesman for
a big book store, and this is a
business that takes both words
and trees, making jobs in the
timber and at the typewriter.
I hear from a neighbor of
Cassidy's that he has a gas-fired
furnace in his new home that
cost him 60 hard bucks a month
to fuel during the past six cold
months. And now he is explor
ing all the angles on what to
do about it before another cold
season breaks.
This, of course, is the smart
thing for any house dweller to
do. Now in the spring is the time
to start work on the winter heat
ing problem.
Insulation is one answer. The
cheapest and most efficient form
is sawdust, if it is good and dry
and flea-free when applied
to ceiling and walls. It's been
in my own ceiling for 25 years.
Works fine. Nothing wrong with
it that I can see. I urge it on Mr.
Cassidy.
But first, I recommend his
reading one of the books that he
sells from the stacks in his own
store.
'Home Repairs Made Easy'
At other times in this space
I've enthused over $7 worth of
information for the house own
er in a giant book put out by
Doubleday. Mr. Cassidy sells it,
I know, but I have a hunch he
has never read it. He should do
so now, turning to the heating
section, where he will find that
the first necessity for gas-fired
heat is "a tight house." That
means insulation to the utmost.
And this, according to "Home
Repairs Made Easy," means a
basement snugged in with storm
windows and doors and strip ma
terials. If there is no basement,
and if there is room to hunker
up and hammer in the crawl
space under the floor, then nail
paper and shiplap to the joists
from underneath. When the
floor sits high on short studs
that rise from plates on base
ment wall or foundation, paper
and lumber sheeting are called
for to make inside walls.
The simple, plain, low-cost
shiplap board has been backed
off the map in many a building
area by expensive and high-powered
promotion for manufac
tured forms of insulation. But it
is really hard to beat an inch of
nature's wood for insulation val
ue. In this value the wood inch
is superior to the brick foot or
the concrete foot. No other form
of insulation is easier to apply.
I make the statement out of some
expensive experience. And add
that shiplap insulation increases
the structural strength of the
house.
As the Sparks Fly Upward

GHSjfo.
The sun also rises, and so does
heat of any kind. Fred Cassidy
needs to consider this fact in
relation to his attic floor and
house roof, just as he needs to
wall off the cold winds from his
first floor, in tackling his heat
ing problem.
Up here again I say "Sawdust
in the ceiling joists" as an an
swer to the problem that has
worked well in my house for 25
years. Another that I've tested
at my own expense is the dou
ble roof of red cedar shingles.
Never put composition shingles
on cedar, though they sweat
and rot the good wood.
These are pointers that are
missed in the big book, "Home
Repairs Made Easy," that I rec
ommend from the store stock of
Fred Cassidy. Anyhow, now's the
time to go into action on next
winter's need for insulation.
