Simple Rules Cool Homes Although mechanical air-cool ing hax made enomous strides in adding comfort to American homes, millions of families still do nt enjoy air-conditioning, and again face the annual prob lem of keeping their homes cool by other means. Because of this recurring problem, the Construction Re search Bureau, national clearing house for building information, has drawn up a list of simple rules which have proved effec tive in helping keep homes cool in summer. The Bureau also says that several of the recom mended procedures will increase the efficiency of air-conditioning equipment. The secret of maintaining a cool home is to keep hot air out side and to generate as little as possible within the house. Keep ing windows closed duiing the hot part of the day and drawing shades on the sunny sides of the house are particularly effective methods, both to keep heat out and to improve the efficiency of air-conditioning equipment. Attic space should be cross ventilated throughout the day and night, either by using an ex haust fan or opening windows in opposite gables. All doors and windows shoulud be opened as soon as the evening air begins to cool. Electric fans placed in windows in different rooms, blowing inward, will draw cool air into the house quickly. Bowls of ice in front of the fans will accelerate the cooling ef fect. This use of ice also is effec tive during the hot hours of the day. Heavy draperies and floor coverings cut down the effi ciency of air-conditioners and re tain heat in non-air conditioned homes. Replacement of heavy draperies with materials having a large open-mesh weave, and the use of light-colored linen or cretonne slip covers on uphol sterer furniture are other cool ing aids. Besides keeping heat outside, care should be taken that exces sive amounts of heat are not gen erated within the house. Electric lights should be used sparingly and high wattage bulbs should be replaced with lamps of less intensity. Ironing should be done in the early morning. As much top-of-stove cooking as possible should be avoided. Today's modern insulated oven is ideal for preparation of hot meals. If there is a door be tween dining room and kitchen, it should be kept closed during meal preparation. At the same time, if kitchen windows are opened wide and an electric fan placed in one of them so it blows outward, superheated air will be expelled rapidly. Sour Cream Fold sour cream into hashed brown potatoes just as they are ready to be served. The result will be a new flavor treat.

Frances' Furs Formerly Frances Dallairc 1100 Crater Lake Ave. Telephone SP 2-6526 By ALFRED LEECH United Press Correspondent Chicago iw Paper clothes, paper bedsheets, even aper houses, are on the way. At least that's the word from the American Pulp and Paper Mill Superintendents. An exhibit at the association's 38th annual meeting featured pa per garments a man's bathing suit, shoes, coveralls, and a wo man's skirt with matching bodice and bonnet. The display was rigged up by American Cyanamid Co., to dra matize "Your Life With Paper." Frederick J. Edwards of the firm's paper chemicals division noted that the average Ameri can uses at least 435 pounds of paper a year, compared with an annual average of only 1.2 pounds in China. Some of the paper apparel items were made of paper alone, while others were made of pa per in combination with other materials, such as spun glass and plastics. In Housing, Too "They're disposable fashions, of course," Edwards said. "You would wear them once or twice or as long as they'd hold up then discard them." If this seems bizarre, Edwards is quick to point out that "we already have paper diapers." "And as for paper bedsheets," he said, "one manufacturer is all set to produce them for use in hospital surgery rooms. Ev entually ..they'll be used through out hospitals." Paper coveralls are gaining favor at atomic installations. "There's less of a disposal prob lem," Edwards said. Edwards believes paper should find extensive use in housing in future years. The armed for ces he said, have been working on paper-board housing for sev eral years. "In 1954," he said, "the Mar ine Corps exhibited prototypes of paper housing which would be almost as light as canvas, but as satisfactory for continued use as barracks constructed of lumber." . 4 George Washington, the fath er of his country, was a fourth generation American.
