CHECK OF WINDOWS MAY CUT FUEL BILL

When the fuel bill is high it may be wise to check the windows before blaming the furnace. Even one window in an exposed house front in a moderately severe winter can be responsible for considerable fuel losses. The losses may be reduced partially by weatherstripping. Permanent double windows or “storm sash” windows, tightly fitted, will help even more by cutting down both conduction and radiation losses.

TVA CHECKS ON PUBLICITY FIRM

E. Hofer & Sons, Once Paid $85,000 by Utilities, Active Again.

By EDWARD B. SMITH Times Special Writer

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 2.—A publicity concern that used to be paid $85,000 a year by the electric utilities, for writing and distributing “canned” editorials opposing public ownership of utilities, is still on the job. : Recently the concern has stepped up production of anti-TVA editorials while the TVA appropriation for the coming year is before Congress for approval. The company is E. Hofer & Sons. of Portland, Ore. It sends to smalltown newspapers a weekly mimeographed release called “Industrial News Review.” TVA Editorial Used in 3 States TVA’s clipping service recently discovered a Hofer editorial, entitled “Socialism Begins to Hurt,” reproduced in newspapers in Conenecticut, Kentucky and Pennsylvania all in the same week. The editorial attacked TVA, blamed it for killing off taxpaying private utilities, said that “TVA pays next to nothing in taxes” and concluded that “the Southeast is learning that it can’t have its cake and eat it too.” In 1928 R. M. Hofer was summoned before the Federal Trade Commission during its inquiry into efforts of the electric and gas utilities to influenee public opinion and line up support against public ownership. = ~ Expanded Nation-Wid Mr. Hofer, the record shows, won the attention of New York utility officials for his work in spreading propaganda to defeat a California power bill, hy In New York, the testimony shows, Mr. Hofer had a conference with Randall Morgan of the United Gas Improvement Co., C. E. Groesbeck of Electric Bond & Share and others. The upshot was the expansion of the Hofer weekly service to

newspapers from coast to coast.

Mr. -Hofer told the Trade Commission he got an annual income from the utility companies of $85,000 a year, and about another $85,000 a year from other industrial interests for his work “against socialistic” ‘movements and in opposition to various taxes. .

What's More, Evangelical And Reformed Church Men Wash the Dishes.

By HARRY MORRISON If you're looking for some: good cooks please apply at the Friedens Evangelical and Reformed Church at Parkway Ave. and Alabama St. Ask the women of the congrega-

tion for references. Their menfolk cooked and served a meal last night at the church that touched their hearts. And what's more, the men washed and dried the dishes. The women, younz and old, took their sweet time about dressing for dinner. The men had been working all day preparing delicious Thuringer sausage. They spent the last half hour cooking it.

But Women, Baked the Cakes

They made sweet sour lettuce and boiled potatoes to mash. There were tempting radishes and celery hearts and cauliflower cooked just right. The men also set the table. The women baked the cakes. They said they could whip them up in a minute, Besides, you can’t trust a man with a cake. The dinner was served at 6 o'clock sharp. The downstairs dining room was crowded. A running line of aproned men served the tables. The young men of the congregation cleared off the dishes. Another corps kept the coffee and cream coming. “It's the grandest idea ever,” said Mrs, Henry Hohn, whose husband was one of the cooks. “I think they're really good for never having been taught.” ‘Once a Year Is Enough’ “Don’t get us wrong, though,” said Mrs. Harry Gleusenkamp, complacently. “We won't make them do this often, Once a year is enough, poor souls.” “We can’t get too dependent on them,” Mrs. Hohn said. “We aren’t going to depend on the men just because of this.” “But that certainly was a good dinner,” Mrs. Gleusenkamp remarked thoughtfully. Mrs. Fred Noerr was one of the wives whose husband didn’t get into the kitchen. “He wouldn't know what to do,” she sniffed.

Approximately 200 Served

Back in the kitchen the husbands, sleeves rolled up and arms akimbo in best housewife style, were preparing for the second sitting. Altogether, they served about 200 persons. Herman Buerger, 335 National Ave, and Wilbur Roehling, 325 Parkway Ave, were chief cooks. They kept the sausage coming. A few of the “bottle-washers” included Henry Tegeler, 42d St. and Michigan Road, an assistant gardener at Lilly's; Fred Behrens, 606 Parkway Ave., who works at a machine shop, and Chris Roehling and Fred Quebe, both gardeners on Bluff Road. ; Frank Mellis, 1606 Leonard St., an attorney with offices at 315 Indiana Trust Building, was waiter at the first table and was detailed to the milk and cream dispensary.

It Was Wives’ Idea

The wives admitted it was their idea to let the man do the dinner. It all happened officially, with the Church Board voting on it and everything. The church was founded in 1911 and the Rev. Robert C. Kuebler has been pastor there for 12 years. The president of the Board is Henry Buck, who lives én R. R. 6. There are about 500 persons in the congregation. Many of them live on Bluff Road. A lot of them are gardeners. Almost half of them were born in Germany. Now they're! American citizens. Boy, that sausage was good!

MAJORITY WINS, SUH, CALL IT “TOMAYTO’

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (U. P.)— The House Ways and Means Committee today took up the pronunciation of the word tomato. Rep. Allen Treadway (R. Mass.), ranking minority member, pronounced it “tomahto.” .Rep. Pat Cannon (D. Fla.) testifying before the committee, asked if he meant “tomayto.” “I mean tomahto,” Rep. Treadway replied. Rep. Cannon appealed to Demo-: cratic members, They favored “tomayto.” “We have a majority,” Rep. Cannon said. “You mean tomayto.”

Forest Sales Periled

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. — Rep. Eugene B. Crowe (D. Ind.) admitted today that he sees small chance for

obtaining any substantial funds (to carry out the national forest purchase program in Indiana and other states. The Agriculture Appropriation Bill carries $1,000,000 for this purpose and Rep. Crowe had sought to have it raised to $15,000,000. Now he is ready to compromise on $3,000,000, but the economy mood of the House seems to doom this amount, Rep. Crowe confessed. Resumption of forest purchases/in Indiana recently was ordered by the National Forest Reservation Com-

Crowe said in his plea to the House to increase the $1,000,000 appropriation.’ “So, as a matter of fact, in that 638,000-acre tract only 35,00 acres have been purchased by the Federal Government. This acreage is not integrated at any point Qutb is scattered hither and yon because no one
