POLITICAL ACTS ‘UNIMPORTANT,’ FORD BELIEVES

Washington Measures Held of No Consequence by Manufacturer. Cw# 4 pt"s NEW YORK, Sept. 20—What happen* in Washington Is “unimportant,' Henry Ford says today in an article in the American Magazine. “Some people say that the politicians In Washington are saving the country." Ford says. “Others say they are ruining the country. I don't agree with either side. My belief is that what goes on in the capital is of no great importance, one way or the other. Laws do not save a country. We are too strong and resourceful a people to be hampered much by legislation. Nothing can hurt the United States. “There are experiments now going on In chemical laboratories, in shops, in new kinds of business thinking, which are far more important to the future than all the experiments in government. In the long run, the chief result of the government experiments will be a Jot of experience for the officials concerned “Most people think nowadays of the surplus as an evil. It is said to break the market. It drives down prices. Therefore, they say, the surplus should be destroyed, and the future production of the commodity strictly limited. This view, I think, is short-sighted and mistaken. The surplus is really a blessing in disguise. It places pressure on the ingenuity of man to discover new uses for the commodity. Once those new uses are discovered, the apparent surplus adds to the wealth and comfort of human life.” SEASON’S FIRST SNOW FALLS OVER MONTANA Freeting Temperature Comes With Flurries.

Modernize Your Home BY ROGER B. WHITMAN

Several years ago I was interested in watching a house being built, not so much for the way it was being done as for the design. The frame and sheathing were put on aa usual; then came building paper, which was of an inexpensive kind that would go to pieces should it get wet. To get the old-time Cape Cod colonial effect that was wanted, the outside was covered with plain boards set vertically. When next February rolled around. I noticed some work going on and went over to see what it was. The outside of the house was bemg covered, first with heavy building felt and then with shingles, which of course completely changed the effect. Wind. Rain Do Havoc Ram had worked in through the joints between the outside boards, and softened the building paper. With cracks between the sheathing boards, wind had been free to blow into the walls and made the house unbearably cold. The family had stood it as long as they could, torn between the chcarm of the outside and the discomfort of living within it, but finally gave in. With the new overcoating, the fuel bills dropped by one-half and the house became comfortable. Every room was warm, regardless of wind and weather. In my own house, I did not know*, until the first winter after I bought it, that it was drafty; that the heater needed pushing on a bitter

RETAILERS OUTLINE UK CUT PROCRAM $30,000,000 Annual Savings Is Predicted. By 7 tmr* ifprriat MONTICELLO, Ind.. Sept. 20.—A program to save taxpayers $30,000,000 and yet operate the state government adequately was outlined here by L. F. Shuttleworth, Associated Retailers of Indiana executive secretary. Mr. Shuttleworth recommended road construction curtailment, reduction of 1 cent a gallon on the gasoline tax, leveling of the automobile license fee to $3 a car, limitation on property tax levies of $1 in rural districts and $1.50 in cities and towns, in levying amounts to carry principal and interest on existing public debts and a sales tax. The speaker attacked the grass income tax as a measure of political expediency.

day. So I put on an overcoat; not shingles, but stucco *>n metal lath over the heavy building felt. The difference is most gratifying; the house has since been easy- to heat, and drafts are greatly reduced. Brick Put on Shingles I know- of another case of overcoating that went farther and did more. The house was originally shingled all over, and not being any too solidly built, had become somewhat shaky in years of batterings by storms. The complete cure for its looseness and leaking walls was an overcoat of one thickness of brick. This was more of a job than a stucco or shingle overcoat, for while these are attached to the walls and supported bv them, a brick veneer supports itself and stands on an extension or widening of the foundation. The old walls w’ere covered with heavy building paper or felt to make them air-tight, and as the brick wall rose, metal ties were driven into the old wood and their projecting ends bedded in the mortar joints. In addition to resistance to weather, the brickwork braced and stiffened the house and wiped out its shakiness. Next—lnsulating the home. I#l a riMinAiiru]

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DAY AND NI6KT FLAG FLIES ON STATE HOUSE

Startling Fact Revealed by L. S. Ayres & Cos. Searchlight. Observant citizen* of Indianapolis have been disturbed since the installation of a powerful searchlight atop the L. S. Ayres Cos. building, which plays on the statehouse dome, by the fact that the American flag on the Capitol flagstaff is flown all night and in all kinds of weather. Many persons, familiar with the rules for display of the flag, have been surprised that the state should be guilty of violating flag etiquette. When Governor Paul V. McNutt's attention was called to the matter he said he knew that such a condition existed and that, because he Smwa ROOFING Square Feet Composition roofing of best grade asphalt and felt.
