Lahm, who has been made a brigadier-general in the U. 8. Army Air Corps, became inter- ested in aviation soon after his graduation from West Point .in 7897, and in 1906 was unofficial United States entrant in the first Gerdon Bennett international bal- Joan race, which he won. From time to time he was associated with the army’s air activities, and in 2912 qualified as a military aviat- or. At the beginning of the late war he was placed in command of the balloon school at Fort Omaha, “Nebraska, and in 1917 was sent to England and France for the pur- pose of visiting balloon training schools and making observations on the western front. Later he ‘Was assigned to American Expedi- tionary Force headquarters, and afterward became commander of Second Army Air’ Service. his war services he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, the French Legion of Hon- By Mitprep Nicuors i Electrical Housekeeping Dept. Graybar Electric Company Curtainless. windows, carpetless | floors, canvas shrouded chairs and cold colicky meals used to be the less conception of what ‘consti-| a sensible summer set-up for those staying in city or town during the hot months, ideas were logical when they were the only available means of re- lief, They may have brought coolness, but. certainly not comfort. Curtains were taken down so that every little breeze might find its way in. . Nowadays cooling breezes can be | created just where and when you want them—simply by plugging in an electric fan, and curtains can stay put. To be sure heavy velvet curtains should be taken down, but cool cre- tonnes can be hung in their place. ‘These and the crisp muslin or dimity curtains actually make a room seem ler, The stuffiest bed room on the hottest night can be made “sleepably” cool with an electric fan, and everyone knows. that the heat of the. day is easier to bear after a refreshing night's sleep. And if you do want to sit indoors some evenings you can read or write in comfort if an electric fan is kee; ing the air moving. ‘Too many people dismiss the idea of an electric fan with “It always gives me a stiff. neck to have one of those electric fans blow on me.” A fan properly placed will not blow on you! It’s the moving air in the room, not the direct blast that brings the cooling comfort. Carpetless floors meant bath cool- ness and doing away with the violent over-hesting exercise of wielding a broom. If your rugs are deep-piled and exceptionally heavy. it is best: to substitute one of the many cool look- ing rujs advertised so extensively. But in the majority of homes rugs can do all year duty and be kept refresh- ingly clean and dustless without bring- ing anyone's blood to the boiling point. | | | | use of efficient attachments that come with the up-to-date vacuum cleaner. Cold colicky meals used to be the summer menu because no-one with a | heart could insist on “mother” stand- ing over a hot coal stove in order that the family might eat appetizing meals. No one wants to eat a ho’ roast on a hot night, but then, cold | slices of well «cooked meat taste mighty good even in hot weather. And in order to have cold meats you must | first have hot meats. There are electric Cookers on the market that make the roasting of meat | actually a cool job. These cookers can be used on your regular circuit, no extra wiring being necessary. You | merely plug in at any electric outlet, pre-heat your cooker, put in the roast and after a short time turn to “low” and go off and forget it until it is time to take out the roast. This same cooker will bake a cake or biscuits and steam: vegetables. A cool, clean method of cooking in hot weather. Then, there are the various table appliances that makes it possible to get | an appetizing breakfast, lunch or sup- | er on a cool poreh. A delicate ome: | t, tasty toasted cheese sandwi_aes, | crisp cinnamon toast or even broiled | chops with fresh green peas make a good mid-summer meal, and all of | them can be made quickly and coolly | on the electric table stove and toaster. Even on the hottest day, the morning coffee is essential to the hard working business man and hot coffee served coolly’ starts the day, right. Hot, sticky weather brings a demand for cool linens—and still more cool clean linens—and the laundry problem | becomes acute and expensive. So this is the ideal time to reorganize your | washday routine and if. you're not | already “doing it electrically”. start now.
