In all, eight tests of old and new

each. Three of the tests will be
made on walls built to specifications
required by law, three will be on
samples of a 'patented wall con

test of a wall built after the recently

ing to Ralph S. Smith, manager of
the specialty department of the Sun
derland company, in charge ot trie
experiments, will be to demonstrate
whether or not the new types com
Dare with the old in strength.
According to Mr. Smith, partic
ular attention win De paia to me
test of the simplified construction
and the comparison of the results
with those shown by the present
legal types, which require wood
sheathing. Simplified construction,
which has been adopted as legal in
many cities, and was practiced by
the government in building housing
facilities during the war, was de
veloped to meet a demand for
cheaper, but .efficient construction,
according to Mr. Smith. It repre
sents, he explained, the composite
idea's of experts from all parts of
the country, who conducted exhaus
tive tests and collected information
for several months before issuing
their specifications.
Use Metal Lathi.
The simplified construction leaves
out wood sheathing entirely in wall
construction, Mr. Smith said. Metal
lath is laid directly on the studding
of a dwelling and overlaid with
three coats of plaster, each one
quarter of an inch thick. The outer
layer is a surface coat. A half
inch layer is spread inside the metal
lath, between the studs. In the
place' of lath and plaster an insulat
ing layer is placed inside the stud
ding, on which the interior plaster
can be spread. According tc Mr.
Smith, this type of construction is
cheaper than the present legal type,
can be finished in less time, and
also is stronger and easier to heat.
If the tests prove satisfactory,
the city council will be asked to au
thorize the simplified construction,
Mr. Smith said. The city officials
have promised to attend the experi
ments. Runaway Train Almost

HOT WEATHER takes the
strength out of all of us. It is a
battle with dneself to do tne
very things which have to be
done. Why, then, stick to the old horrie
baking idea, when you can get along so
much better without it?
Hot weather cuts down the amount of food that
we eat, makes us drink cold water and eat cold
foods until, from the lack of proper foods, the
stomach reacts, and then the doctor is called.
Why go on acting this way?
Bread is the BEST of ALL FOODS it satisfies
the hunger, it gives nourishment for every part
of the body, it keeps the stomach acting natur-.
ally, the blood is clean and you feel fit for an
other hot day, .
In the days of long ago Mother baked her bread only
because she had to. Things are different now home '
baking is an unnecessary hardship. Don't go on doing
your own baking just because your Mother did. Such
reasoning will only make summer days the more tire
some and will wear you down. False pride and false
economy should all be discarded now.
The bake sherps of today are most wonderful places
snow-white, spotlessly clean everywhere. They are
modern kitchens, equipped to produce the utmost
from the master ingredients.
Try a loaf of Tip-Top or Hard. Roll Bread

will rival the standards that your Mother
set for us, and will bring back to you memo

WHY?
Why Does Heavy Rain Usually
Follow Thunder? '
(Copyright. 1930 by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inc.)
The connection between a
sharp clap of thunder and a heavy
downpour of rain is not, con
trary to the general belief, be
cause the thunder jostles the
cloud particles together into rain
drops. In the violent turmoil
.between the positive and negative
electricity in a thundercloud
there are places where the pro
duction of drops, through con
densation, and their subsequent
splitting up, proceeds more rap
idly than in others. Hence, in
these places there will be more
.drops to fall as rain and also
more electrification the rainfall
being precipitated a&out the same
time as the electric flash. We
have,' then, starting earthward at
the same instant, light, - sound
and raindrops.
The light, traveling at a speed
of some 186,000 miles a second,
reaches us almost instantly. The
sound travels far more slowly
only about 1,090 feet a second,
and the rain falls still more slow
ly. Thus we observe first the
lightning, then the thunder and
then ' the rain though they are
all started toward us at practi
cally the same moment.

"You must not give yourself a
momenVs uneasiness on that score,"
he said quietly. "Any other time
which suits your convenience better
will do as well. And I will tele
phone at once."
He turned to get his hat and coat.
X felt that I couldn't bear him to
think that I would let any ordinary
dilemma make me give up the eve
ning I had promised him. Inya flash
my answer came to me.
I would make a' confidant of my
father and ask his judgment before
going to Lillian. That he would ap
prove my asking her advice I was
sure. I knew also that he placed
rmore confidence in her judgment
and that of Allen Drake than in any
other human beings. .And this
tribute from thei man who before
age and illness had weakened him
had been a power in the secret
diplomatic service of his country
was praise from Sir Hubert in
deed.
"Wait just a minute, father," I
said. "Come into the library,
please.
, A Resolution.
He took his hat and coat from the
closet off the hall before he follow
ed me into the library. And the
only indication of the quickened in
terest which I knew must be his
was the intent brightness of his eyes
as he looked at me. I noted his
erect bearing, the air of conscious
ability which invested him, and
realized that the effects of the terri
ble treatment he had received in
South Americai, and . which had
weakened him for so long, were
fast disappearing and that my fa
ther was yet a man to be reckoned
with.
The knowledge gave me a feeling
of safety Which warmed my heart.
It also g:ave me a feeling of remorse
vthat I had been blind to the help
and the comfort I might have re
ceived in the problems that had be
set me, I had grown to consider
him almost as an old child, to b:
humored as my mother-in-law was.
I saw now that I was the child, and
suspected that he had long been
humoring me,.
With the resolve that never again
wouldi I shut out my father from
any confidence that I could give
him. I closed and locked the door
of the library, then went directly to
him and p.ut my hands on his
shoulders.
"I Expected"
"I want to tell vou, father, why I
must go to Lillian's."
He looked down at me, still with
that curious, intent brightness in
his eyes.
"I have not asked for vour confi
dence, my chiM," he said quietly.
There was something in his voice,
elusive, yet very tangible to me,
which betraved somethini? of the
chagrin he must have felt at having

No, you never have. I returned.
quick to see how I might in part
excuse the omission of which I had
been guilty. "I wish, father, dear,
you had sometimes. I am afraid I
would have troubled you often."
His eyes lightened with a distinct
look of relief. Then he smiled whim
sically.
You are very like your mother,
my dear, ' lie said quickly, then
looked faintly troubled, as though
the comparison had risen involun
tarily to his lips. I filed the remark
away for future mental reference.
Long ago my mother had told me
and in the letter I found after her
death she had reiterated that I was
very like her. She had seemed to
find in the fact reason for worry as
to my marital happiness, had
blamed her own temperament for
part of my father's shortcomings. I
wondered vaguely if the little re
mark he had let slip had been in any
sense a key to unlock that long-
buried mystery of the differences
between my father and my mother.
I wondered also if mv father, sitting
aloof, a specator at the drama of my
own married life, might not have it
in his power to give me many a po
tent hint on that ever-present most
vital problem of all wives holding
mv husband.
But all this was beside the pres
ent question. I dared not dally with
speculation or introspection for fear
we might be interrupted. I drew my
breath, spoke quickly:
"The reason I am going to see
Mrs. Underwood is this," I said.
"Grace Draner has been released
from prison."
He waited for a long minute be
fore replying.
"I expected she would be," he
said at last. " "But I did not think it

it in his hand.
"I've got one," he called.
"One what?" Take called back.
"Beetle," Taro said.
Then he found another. He
brought them in very carefully, so as
not To hurt them,
In the house he put them in a little
cage which he made out of a paste
board box. Then he got more papei
and a little knife. '
"Oh, Taro, what are you going to
make?" Take asked.
"If you and Grannie will help me
I'll make some little wagons and
we'll harness the beetles," Taro said.
"Won't it hurt them?" Take asked.
"Not a bit; we'll be very careful,"
Taro answered,
So Take ran for thread, and Taro

Taro tied some thread to the front
of each little wagon. Then he opened
