Feels Pretty Low BAD EXAMPLE";/ fhe censor had just finished reading the new play. "This will never do," he said to the author. "It's positively corrupting." The author argued: "Why, this play is all about a minister and a reformer--it's my best work--there can't be anything objectionable in it." "Listen to the ending," replied the censor. "The situation is this--the two men have just finished dinner at the hotel. The minister says, Shall we drive to the station now?" I am ready,' answers the reformer. The two men rise from the tabje and go out." "Well," muttered the author, "what is corrupting in that?" "My dear sir, your play would start a criminal influence in our younger generation. The minister and reformer have left without pairing their bill!" •' 1 -r - / *' ' *' •• I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN •di ,JWhen I met your wife she was t»o mad to talk." v' "You must be mistaken--that caakh't have been my wife."

Bone of Contention Small Boy--Dad, what is meant by k "the bone of contention"? *"Dad--The jawbone, my boy. POOR THING • WATCI THESE THREE PUCES IF TOI WOILI STOP THEM Poor wall joint between window frame and watt causes drafts (see arrows). Poor fitting window sash allow cold air to leak ia causing drafts (see arrows). * V A single pane of glass cools warm air quickly. Cool air drops to floor rausine drafts. There is just no excuse for drafts in your new home, because drafts are definitely curable if you will watch just three places--and all three places are around your windows. .« First and foremost offender in the making of drafts in your new home is the window frame.- Now you've never bought window frames se you don't know anything about them and that is one reason why so many home builders have drafty windows, because they were careless ab«^ut the window frame that went into thei£ homes. Now, we aren't going to go into detail about window frames. We jiyit want you to remember that the most important thing about a window frame is how it joins the wall. If it makes a permanent leakproof weathertight joint with the wall--fine and dandy. If it dcesn't, you'll have drafts, no end of drafts." How» can you make sure about a weathertight joint? Just specify that the window frames' used in. your new home have wide blind stop construction. This special construction should be familiar to your contractor. . . . : > Proper Fitting Necessary . r Next in importance to windo^ franie to tl* win !Jw sash (the part of the window that, moves within the frame). Many home build* era buy window frames in one place and sash in another with the result that the sash and franie never fit properly in spite of trimming and cutting on the job. And sash that don't lit properly cause drafts, and more drafts. The tncdsrn trend is towards what is known as complete window units that are delivered with frame and sash precision fitted to each other at the factory. Many of these window units are even complete with weatherstrip. In any event be sure that the window sash are fitted properly to the window frame and you'll elimi nnte another big source of drafts. """" 9 Glass Cools Air Now here is the third cause of drafts. It't warm air being quickly cooled against a single pane of glass. The cold air then drops to the floor. This flow of air causes drafts. What's the cure? A double pane of glass. Some windows are made so that this double pane of glass fits on the inside of the window, while the most common is the ordinary storm windows which are hung on .the outside. Whether your double glass is inside or outside, the result is the same. The glass that is within the heated room is kept warmer by the dead air' space between the double panes. Result: WarmS^* air is not cooled so fast: no cool air--no drafts Wooden Wedding Rastus--Well, Ezra, how'd you an* yo* wife celebrate yo' wooden weddin'? Ezra--Oh, she hit me on de haid wif a rollin' pin 'cause Ah wouldn't split some kindlin'. Division of Labor Peck--My views on bringing up the family are-- Mrs. Peck--Never mind your views.
