Our patrol torpedo boats have played a leading
role in the Allied campaign to cut off and seize enemy
strongholds in the South Pacific. Because of their
small size and comparatively minor installation needs,
torpedo boats can be based in the inlets and river
mouths that abound in the tropic island groups.
Screened by overhanging trees and camouflage, the
men of a PT base carry on routine functions by day.

Wire Communications
Consolidation
Domestic wire communications of
the army are being consolidated int
a single system to effect co-ordina-
tion and conservation of critical ma-
terials, wire facilities and manpow-
er, the war department announced
recently.
The new system is the just-created
army command and administrative
network, army service forces, and
is being set up under supervision of
the army communications service of
the signal corps, of which Brig. Gen.
Frank E. Stoner is chief.
Many separate communications
now operated by various branches
of the army will be eliminated un-
der the change-over which, when
completed, will have in operation
25 message centers—including army
service commands—and 15 or more
additional points close to important
military installations.
The plan includes eventual aban-
donment of the army’s radio net-
work in the continental United States
—the present traffic being diverted
to the network—but radio circuits
for overseas communications will be
continued.
Certain communications systems
of the army branches which require
specialized traffic handling, such as
the army air forces, will be contin-
l ued, but it is planned to connect the
new network with specialized nets
of these other branches.
Although the consolidated mes-
sage centers are to be operated by
the signal corps, independent cen-
ters at other points will be combined
with the branch of the army which
has predominant activities operating
at that point.

HOLE HEARTED—While we’re
on the subject of BUTTONS, let’s
think about BUTTON HOLES, too.
Cut out little hearts in felt and sew
around your button holes with slits
through the center so the button can
go through. Or, cuter yet, cut out
little lips and sew around your but-
ton holes. They will remind you to

IT’S nice to dream about a nurs-
1 ery where children have all
their clutter and playthings but
this winter we will be thinking
about ways and means for every-
one to have their special interests,
hobbies and pleasure right in
whichever cozy room that may
be heated easily. That is the way
it was done in the “good old
days”; and there is certainly no
reason that we can’t do it now
with a few special ideas of our
own in the way of efficiency and
comfort. Why not make a gay
toy chest that may be wheeled into
the room? And why can’t the lid
be used for a play table?
You may have scraps of plywood
or composition board that may be
used for this chest; or you may be
able to buy pieces at your lumber
yard that have been rejected for
government work because of slight
imperfections. Enough of these
“government rejects” are filtering
into the market to keep amateur
craftsmen going. Even the wheels
of this chest are cut out of wood','
and here is a good chance to use
some of those odds and ends of
bright paint that you have saved.

rections for making this chest with wood-
en wheels, folding table top, with full size

CHICAGO.—Architects and engi-
neers concerned with the construc-
tion of America’s homes, have just
learned something that the chicken-
raiser has used to advantage for
years—that rays of the sun can keep
a building warm even in the dead
of winter if there are enough win-
dows to let them in.
A year’s test of a “solar house”—
so called because the sun’s rays are
actually brought into the home
through use of wide expanses of
glass—completed here by technical
experts of Illinois Institute of Tech-
nology has proved that the sun’s
rays not only serve as an auxiliary
heating unit in the house, but like-
wise, the rays eliminate necessity
of artificial light during daylight
hours. In addition, although not
checked by scientific instruments,
occupants reported improved health.
Basic features of the new archi-
tectural trend, viewed with interest
by builders as an important post-
war possibility, are overhanging
eaves and the proper orientation of
windows. These eaves shade the
occupants from the direct rays of
the sun during the warm months
when Old Sol is directly overhead,
but permit the low-hanging winter
sun’s rays to enter the farthest cor-
ner of the room.
The sun’s rays, the institute re-
port brought out, filtering through
multiple - glazed windows — which
sandwich a sealed-in, dehydrated air
space between panes to form a type
of glass known to engineers as ther-
mopane—supplied enough heat, even

The longest period of service in
the history of the Army Nurse corps
was terminated recently, the war
department announced, with the re-
tirement of Lieut. Col. Lyda M.
Keener, principal chief nurse at Wal-
ter Reed general hospital, Washing-
ton, D. C., who has completed 37
years and five months of duty.
Colonel Keener was born in
Greensburg, Pa., and was graduated
from the McKeesport general hospi-
tal. She entered the corps in 1906.

The letter assigning her to her first
station, San Francisco, Calif., was
signed by Dita H. Kinney, first su-
perintendent of the corps.
The Army Nurse corps provides
the finest career in the world, Colo-
nel Keener believes. “There is no
better opportunity to serve one’s
country and mankind. The satis-
faction in caring for the sick and
wounded, in aiding the recovery of
/mind as well as body, is given only
'to nurses,” she says.

topped with smaller buttons in dou-

them in pairs with little pieces of

in sub-zero temperatures, to make
it unnecessary to use the regular
heating plant during daylight hours.
As a result of this use of the sun’s
rays, the fuel bills in the “solar
house” studied were pared approxi-
mately one-third. The actual bills
for the year totaled $120.55, whereas
the fuel supplier’s engineers had es-
timated that the cost of heating the
house for the year would be at
least $180.
As an example of how warm the
house’s occupants found “solar heat-
ing,” the report cited a report of
the temperature on the coldest day
of the year, when outside readings
ranged from 5 to 17 degrees below
zero. Sun entering the living room
automatically shut off the furnace
at 8:30 a. m. An inside tem-
perature of above 85 degrees made
it necessary to open windows at in-
tervals. Yet the furnace was off
from 8:30 a. m. to 8:30 p. m.
Institute experts, who conducted
the research in co-operation with
Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass company,
checked a varied group of instru-
ments daily during the 365-day pe-
riod, in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Duncan, of Homewood, Ill.
This house, one of several similar
homes designed by Architect George
Fred Keck, a pioneer in modern so-
lar design, was selected because it
represents the “popular price”
bracket of $10,000 or less.
In addition to the warmth brought
into the Duncan home through the
wide windows, increased light was
also recorded.
