Sl the time of water hit the the U.S.A. has the Water" A NichoU Worth of Comment On By HARMAN Unittd Praai Washington, July 3 UR) There are many ways to keep cool such as gulping a Tom Collins, air c o o 1 i.n g the house or hav i n g mama make you a breeze with a palm leaf. But the Amer ican Associa tion of Nurs- I I erymen has a I come un with 10 new ways. Not only ways to chill off in Uirau Niehato summer but how to warm up in winter. The association starts off with a sort of weather report which says: Coldait From North "In many areas of the coun try the coldest winds come from the north, northeast and north west. In the summer, they usual ly come from the west, south west and south." From there on, the association report is mostly nursery. About plants, that is. You can, it says, "curve plant" your evergreens and shrubs In the form of a high fence. Then, the cold breath of winter from the north will start around the house and leave you snug and warm. Even save fuel, maybe. "This type of planting," the association says, "can save a lot of coal or oil. . . .If the wind break reduces the wind from 12 to three miles an hour at 32 de grees, it will take only half the amount of fuel to heat your house." Experiments Conducted Dr. H. E. Landsberg. the exec utive director of the committee on geo-physics and geography of the U. S. research and develop ment board, conducted a lot of experiments on the plant-for-comfort deal. He and other scientists found that the fuel requirement is a little larger for the combination of 32 degrees and a 12-mile wind than it is for zero and a three mile wind. In a state experiment station test of a windbreak, it was learn ed that fuel cost was reduced by 22.9 per cent. But what are we talking about? This is summer, not blustery cold. The nurserymen claim that in the summer, when you want the breezes from the west if you plant your shrubbery right, they will be led unsuspectingly into a pocket. Air Mov.i Fast.r The same amount of air ocm ing into the wide opening toward the west will be forced through the narrow space between the house and the planting. Thus the air will move faster and your house will be cooler. The nurserymen are little vague, though, about how an amateur ought to go about the business of cooling himself off by getting all sweaty setting out shrubbery. The association advises: "In areas where conditions dif fer from the 'above' by observ ing the direction of prevailing winds in both summer and win ter, the same idea can be car ried out." Personally, I don't know a pre vailing wind from a small gust that works up from out yonder. Sun at Work The contention of the plant men is that there are many ways to make the sun work for you and actually make ydu cooler. IE AT ANY MEDFORD THEATRE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 8:45 P.M. YOU MAY BE THE LUCKY PERSON! 0! Monday, July t, IS JO This and That W. NICHOLS Mtui Writw The temperature in plants is. they say, many times cooler than that, of a pavement in the sun. Plants, it is claimed, transpire and the evaporation of the mois ture rising from them makes the air cooler. All of which has me a little confused. Boy, fetch me another Tom Collins! Solons Expected Ask Spy System Shake-up Washington, July 3 U.R) The surprise red attack in Ko rea followed by shocking re verses is expected to bring con gressional demands for a shake- up in our couritsr-spy system. The surprise followed by a few days a Tokyo conference among Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson and some of his high brass. Something slipped badly when such men could sit down so near trouble and not know it. The known facts indicate our intelligence failed In the field where the information was to be had and here at home where it should have been studied and judged for what it was worth. Our counter-spy organization terminates at the top in a cen tral intelligence agency. The sur prise in Korea revealed the fact that there is no firm understand ing about conclusions to be drawn from espionage reports once they are assembled by CIA. Portland Produce Portland. Ore .
