County Equipped for Emergencies with Radio System "Crime does not pay." ‘That four word sentence, first inâ€" ltlb‘-h-hfic‘lvfizvork'l growing generation police force, and now ‘being brought over the ether waves in various radio programs, is today sound advice for Lake county and a warning to visâ€" itors from other communities bent on crime, The sheriff‘s force and the police departments in Lake county may be undermanned, but they are more the radio. Every key village and city in Lake county, following installation of a set at Fox Lake, is today equipped with a law enforcement radio system. Three cities, Waukeâ€" mlab Forest and Highland each have their own radio paâ€" trol systems. Besides these home patrols, the police departments have a hookup with Sheriff L. A. Doolittle‘s county radio. Kennedy, recognizing the fact that criminals are using highpowered automobiles to get from one place to another, figured that the radio could be used to great advantage in giving proper police protection. With the cooperation of public ofâ€" ficials and police chiefs in various cities and villages, Chief Deputy Sheriff Kennedy paved the way for the installation of radio systems for law enforeement work. ‘The radio hookup of various poâ€" lice departments with the sheriff‘s radio has in the past two years been responsible for the apprehenâ€" sion of a number of notorious charâ€" aters. Traffic accidents have been reduced considerably, stolen automoâ€" blies recovered and farm thefts cut A survey of the records of crime prevention shows that since the radio...system . has . been â€"installed, practically every crime of any conâ€" sequence has been solved, while there are still many cases of preâ€" radio days on the books.

P. 178 Introduces a New Football Game in "American Boy" In the early fall issues of The American Boy there‘ll be presented the story of a new gameâ€"sixâ€"man footballâ€"fast as professional footâ€" ball, wide open as basketball, thrillâ€" ing as hockey! ow The game came to life through the need of small schools for some substitute for 11â€"man football, which was too expensive. Stephen Epler, a Nebraska graduate student in athletics, developed the game of sixâ€"man football to meet this need. In sixâ€"man football anybody can score, the possibility of injury from mass plays is minimized, and the game is open enough for spectators to follow every exciting developâ€" ment. The new game is a hit. New schools are taking it up every day. In coming issues The American Boy tells the world about this practical new game. In addition, it presents The American Boy Official Handâ€" book, which can be obtained from NOTE: Subscription prices . of The American Boy will be raised in the near future.

New Materials for Building Projects Being Introduced today from B‘o&u: B. Whitaker, viceâ€"president of National Assoâ€" clation of Real Estate Boards, who is touring Europe with Herbert N. Nelson, secretary of the national group, as official representatives of the American real estate industry. Startling new materials for homeâ€" building and vast housing projects, undertaken by private industry as well as by national governments, were described in a report received It is in England, France and G.;; many that sharpest contrasts housing idnsq. exist, according to Mr. Whitaker, who is also presiâ€" dent of the R. B. Whitaker, Comâ€" pany Winnetka and Kenosha, leadâ€" ing North Shore building and real estate firm. At the International Housing Conâ€" ference in Paris, the Paris Exposiâ€" tion, the Dusseldorf National Fair, and in half a dozen European counâ€" tries, Mr. Whitaker and Mr., Nelson have studied the latest developâ€" ments in housing, so that they might bring back to American realtors and homeâ€"builders, firstâ€"hand informaâ€" tion about housing progress abroad. "England," Mr. Whitaker states, "is carrying forward its great housing program with unchecked vigor and speed. This year will see another 300,000 new housing units érected. In proportion to populaâ€" tion, this is building at about four times the American rate. About fourâ€"fifths of the 300,000 houses beâ€" ing built this year will be erected and sold entirely through private enterprise. Most of the home buildâ€" ing is done by large companies with ample capital. "The economies obtained from large scale operation seem very imâ€" portant. Lumber is bought by the shipâ€"load. Some companies main"~ tain their own brick yards and other with whom we visited, last year built and sold© over 4,000 small homes and will this year exceed that number,~ We were impresseed by the excellent modern homes which he is able to construct and sell at prices that are far â€"below THIS MODERN HOME (6 Rooms aND GaARAGE) is MEATED AT AN AVERAGE MONTHLY COST OF ONLY $14.721 HERE‘S WHAT ONE ENTHUsIAsTIG VSER SAYS ABOUVT GAS5 HEAT;: of heating." am very well pleased with the results, have a warm, slean dustioss home, m heat, and no worries about contrasting for other fusls. 1 believrs Gas to be in a class by itsolf, and would not sonsider muy other mathod our bare building costs. It would m&n&n:m-fith largeâ€"scale private operation as a means of cost reduction in home building. "In â€"France," Mr. Whitaker conâ€" tinued, "they have a different idea. It was the opinion of all the differâ€" ent nations attending the Internaâ€" tional Housing Conference that in future planning of towns, ‘satellite‘ towns should be built around big cities. England has two such ‘garâ€" den cities‘ called Letchworth and Wellwyn. Germany has some. In America we have several thousand but we just call them suburbs. Eurâ€" opean experts believe that Arteriâ€" can town planning has been better done in its fundamentals and is beâ€" ing carried forward more effectively than in the cities of Europe. "Near Paris, we visited one of these French ‘satellite‘ developâ€" ments. It was built by the muniâ€" cipality, about 5 miles out and conâ€" sists of 2,000 family units in large buildings of from four to nine storâ€" ies. To see these high buildings out in the country fields was someâ€" what curious. It was explained to us that the Parisians have always lived in flats and preferred them. "In Germany, where housing is also a government function, they have still another ides. At the Dusseldorf National Fair, which we visited in an official capacity, they have laid out a model village. Most of the houses are already being lived in so that one can see them under conditions of actual use. Twenty are kept open solely as exâ€" hibit houses. All are singleâ€"family dwellings, solidly built of brick, with fullâ€"basements in most cases, and with dark tile roofs. The exterior walls are painted in white or cream eolors. "Of especial. interest in these houses are the new materials which are beingâ€"developed as substitutes for metals. Phenol plastics are beâ€" ing used in scores of new forms. Plumbing pipes and fixtures made pervious to acids, are water tight, durable and light, and look very atâ€" tractive. _ "Amiong other things noted," Mr. Whitaker‘s report concludes, "were plexigums which can be applied to wood, making it waterâ€"and â€"fireâ€" ANITA T.

Glass wool is a favorite for wall insulation." A man bought a parrot and tried to teach him to talk. Going over to the bird, he repeated for several minutes the words, "Hello, hello." At the end of the lesson the parâ€" rot opened one eye and answered drowsily, "Line‘s busy." â€" Mutual Magazine. SINGER SEWINGMACHINECO. 89 S.
