PROTECT WATER PIPES IN WINTER

Outside Faucet, Firm Warns.

b ‘Your water pipes won't freeze this

ple rules prescribed by the Indianapolis Water Co: 1. Close and seal all windows, doors, or other openings near your water pipes and meter, especially in the basement. - : 2. Turn off the valve on the pipe line that. feeds your outside hose

and drain pipe. 3. Examine the main shut-off valve on your house plumbing to make sufe it is in good working

order and available for instant use. This valve is found near the meter.

For Your Protection

Closing this valve will cut off the water supply to your fixtures. It is for your protection in case of burst pipes ‘or other emergency. ° 4. Help to protect your plumbing ‘lagainst freeze-ups by wrapping exposed water pipes, fixtures, and meters with several layers of crumpled newspapers or other windproof maerial. Freezing usually begins inside the house and travels outward toward the street. Therefore it is necessary to protect your house plumbing ‘wherever it is exposed to cold air, especially in unheated basements. 5. Drain all waterlines in property where no heat is maintained regularly; drain all fixtures, and protect the traps. Have this job done by a registered plumber and save yourself unnecessary repair bills.

Check Service Line

6. Check your service line, which belongs to the property owner, as to depth below ground level. This] means the line from your basement to the water main in the street. The company lays its water mains at least tour and one-half feet below ground ‘level for protection against freezing. But some service lines between water mains and basements are too shallow to be safe from frost damage—usually because of grade changes in street or yard. Be sure your service line is not too shallow. If in doubt, consult a registered plumber.

PRIVATE ENTERPRISE MUST AID HOUSING

Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Private enterprise has 60 per cent, an estimated 420 million dollars of the defense housing problem to solve, the Architectural Forum magazine declares in its special “Building for Defense” issue. “In the previous national emergency,” the Forum points out, “some informed observers predicted that had hostilities continued beyond 1918, the acute housing shortage would have caused a breakdown in U. S. armament production.” “So far, the prime lesson that housing must be considered in conjunction with military and industrial expansion, not after it, has not been heeded; industrial and military construction already is a leap ahead of housing.”

Library Lists New Home Books

New books for persons intere ested in better homes which may be borrowed from Central Library or through the neighborhood branches include: “THE MODERN HOUSE IN AMERICA,” by James Ford and Katherine Marrow Ford (Architecture Book Publishing Co., New York). Houses designed on the basis of “functional serviceability” without reference to “academic ‘documentation” have been selected from every region of the U. S. by Prof, and Mrs. Ford, Ranging in cost from $2000 to $150,000, each house is accompanied by a brief description which le the requirements of the family, the site, construction, interior and exterior finishes, illustrations, diagrams and other noteworthy special features. “WHAT EVERY WOMAN: SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FURNITURE.” by Jeanne Juda Stokes Co., New York). The principles of furniture selection for the modern housewife with the limited budget are outlined. Photographs of various styles and periods of furniture are accome panied by brief descriptions.

SUNSHINE 1S USED -

T0 HEAT WATER

By Science Service

Water heating systems that need no other fuel than sunshine are the invention of F. A. Brooks, agricultural engineer at the California Agricultural Experiment Station. Simplest, but least efficient, is merely setting the water storage tank where the sun can shine on it. This exposes so'little absorbing surface in proportion to the mass of water that results are not very satisfactory.

FRIDAY, DEC. 27, 1940

installing the tank indoors, insulated against heat loss, and connecting it with flat coils of pipe expised to the sun under glass. A

convenient place for such exposure

is. on a south-facing sloping roof. Froper pipe connections insure the fiow of heated water into the top of the ‘tank, and a return flow of colder water from the bottom of thie heating coils. Somewhat greater: efficiency, at tiie expense’ of slightly greater complexity, is achieved by using a light ail or other non-freezing liquid in thie heating coil and transferring its heat to the stored water in the

last 10 years.

November totaled $1,570,492. Greater efficiency is obtained by

tank.
