The houses will cost an esti- mated $5,000 each, he said. Other officers of the group include George Janke, vice president; John Ehrmantraut, secretary; William Couch, H. M. Beall, Roy McLeod and ‘William Payne, directors. Plans Apartment House Miss Beata Jasmann was issued a permit for the construction of an apartment house at 611 Avenue A. "The building will be 48x32 feet in di- mensions, containing four 3-room apartments. Completion by Septem- ber 15 is planned. A second apartment house and tore will be built by J. B. Smith at 234 Broadway W. Of brick and tile, it will be 25x70 feet in dimensions and cost approximately $18,000. C. W.

The structure will be 28x22 feet in dimen- sions and will cost about $2,200, LOCAL FIRM ADOPTS WESTINGHOUSE LINE Lignite Combustion Engineer- ing Corporation Distribu- tor for Large Area ‘Westinghouse's refrigerators reflect the demand of the age for more speed, more power and more efficiency, ac- cording to C. c. Larsen of the Lignite Combustion Engineering Corporation, which has just been announced as distributor for Westinghouse refrig- eration and electrical appliances for southwestern North Dakota. ‘The territory through which the Lignite Combustion Engineering Cor- poration, located at 304 Main Avenue, ‘Bismarck, will distribute Westing- house products extends from James- town as far west as Dickinson and from the South Dakota border as far north as Garrison, Larsen said. The Westinghouse line is handled by the Bismarck firm in addition to automatic coal stokers in which the corporation has specialized for the last several years. The new Westinghouse refrigerator boasts faster ireezing, low operating cost, streamline design and many in- teresting new conveniences, Larsen said. There are three series in the new line, the “Streamline DeLuxe,” “Streamline” and “Master Series.” The Streamline series offers a re- volving shelf that swings around most as easily as a telephone dial. It makes instantly available everything on its entire surface and permits im- mediate access to the shelf beneath. It also releases corner space on the Jower shelf for storing bottles, Another new feature of the Stream- line is the recenily-patented Eject-o- Cube tray that freezes ice cubes in an hour. The cubes pop out like magic when two convenient levers are pressed. ‘There also are such, distinctive con- veniences as a triple storage com- partment, consisting of built-in pur- celain salad crisper, dairy basket and refrigerated fruit bin... a new but- ton-touch door latch, placed higher up on the door than the 1934 latch . ++ T-point dial temperature selec- tor that prevents more than one num- ber at a time from showing . . . over- size froster, covered by a chromum- Plated door ... handy tray ... automatic interior light and many other improvements to save time and work for the housewife.

A general rule for efficient kitchen planning is to group as close- ly as possible the sink, range, and refrigerator, with working surface adjacent to each. This is best done by having a narrow kitchen with all floor space used to its best advant- . Wall space is best utilized for built-in cabinets which are most necessary in an efficient and mod- ern kitchen, Doors should be arranged in such ®@ way as to allow persons to pass through the kitchen without hind- ering work being done there. Make sure that there is a table near the exterior door for the incoming gro- ceries, The desired location of the sink is directly below a window. This ar- rangement conserves wall space so necessary for built-in cabinets. It also gives the housewife a view of the exterior which greatly relieves the drudgery of her work. If a small known to be satisfactory and no charge is made for the service, Ren- den stated. “Business houses, such as restaur- ants, beauty shops, clubs, hotels, etc., have found that cooling turns the ‘summer slump’ into a profitable sea- son of the year,” Renden said. “Sum- mer cooling has gone far beyond the experimental stage and is here to stay, with equipment that is reason- able in price and is guaranteed to give Satisfaction.” Similarly, air conditioning has made the modern home “cool and comfortable when it is blistering hot outside, or warm and healthful day in and day out while winter rages,” Renden added. Renden. explained that the new equipment makes possible de-humid- ifying, filtering the air of germ-laden dust, correct ventilation and main- tenance of the correct temperature for health. In many homes, he said, when mechanical air conditioning, such as heating and cooling, is in- stalled, insulation pays for itself many times over in the cost of operating either the heating or the cooling Plant. “It has been conclusively proven,” he said, “that air conditioning is a decided aid in keeping a person healthy. Also where there is sickness the introduction of air conditioning often means rapid recovery. Hospi- tals are introducing air and surgeons are aware of the fact that their patients recover more rap- idly in hot weather when allowed to recuperate, after an operation, in cooled rooms.” Playground is placed directly in front effects can lend much to the “sun- of the window, the housewife may|shine” atmosphere of a room.
