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.

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." .
