Show Plan Home for Cold Days as Well as Warm Every home-minded individual should set aside two days for the planning of the home. If a house is planned on these two days sight will not be lost of the primary purpose of a home. The first day is the hottest day of summer when rooms resemble ovens and when sleep is next to impossible. The second is the coldest day in winter, win-ter, when the breath can be seen in the north bedroom and when the coal heap is the only thing that melts. For years we have been paying too much attention to generating heat and too little to keeping it where it belongs. Only in the last few years have scientists found the solution by applying ap-plying to buildings the principle of heat insulation around which household house-hold refrigerators are built. It simply consists of placing in the walls and roof of a house a material which is a natural barrier to the passage pas-sage of heat. In winter the insulation insula-tion keeps out the cold, in summer it keeps out the heat. In terms of household comfort insulation means uniform temperature throughout the house every day in the year. |
