Bureau of Standards
Builds House to Test
Heating Equipment
Efficiency of Various
Types to Be Found Under
Actual Conditions
A frame bungalow, which from
the outside looks like any average
small home, is being erected at the
Bureau of Standards to serve as a
laboratory for testing all kinds of
heating equipment, especially of the
type for use in small dwellings.
The tests will be designed to de
termine the efficiency of various
heating apparatus under conditions
which would exist within a home.
An accurate record of the heat out
put of the fuel used will be kept in
British thermal units, each of which
represents the amount of energy re
quired to raise the temperature of
1 pound of water one degree F.
Dr. H. C. Dickinson, chief of the
bureau’s division of heat and power,
who will have charge of the tests,
said that a thorough study will be
made and a record kept of the flow
of air within the dwelling labora
tory. The temperature record will
be kept with a regular recorder
which charts a continuous record.
A feature of the bungalow, which
is 24 feet 10 inches by 26 feet 6
inches, will be a “floating ceiling,”
which can be raised on screw jacks
to a height of 9 feet and lowered to
7 feet. With it, Di. Dickinson ex
plained, tests will be made to deter
mine the effect of celling height in
heating
Housing Units Co-operating.
| The experiment is being conducted
I in co-operation with the various
Federal housing agencies and is to
provide them with scientific knowl
edge on heating apparatus for build
ings Dr. H. L. Dryden, chief of the
bureau's division of mechanics and
sound, is co-ordinator for the hous
ing experimental program.
TU_1__1_ j_i». i _

i road near Van Ness street, is neatly
: covered with weather boarding. Its
I roof is covered with asphalt shingles.
Although the interior is arranged
for four larger rooms and several
smaller ones, such as bathroom and
kitchen, it will not be finished in the
style of a regular dwelling, because
the inside will be a laboratory.
The walls will be covered with
gypsum wall boards. The ceiling
will be plywood to make it light and
easy to move on the jack screws.
Because of the room partitions, the
"floating ceiling" will be divided
irito four parts.
Above the ceiling there will be a
space of approximately 6 feet,
when the ceiling is at its maximum
height, to the highest point of the
roof which slopes from the center to
the back and front.
Three Chimney Flues.
Another feature is a large brick
chimney which is arranged so tests
can be made with flues of three
different sizes. There is a fireplace
of generous size, such as found in
the old-style country homes. It also
can be made into various smaller
sizes, by the use of additional
bricks. In it will be used many
j types of fireplace heating equip
! ment.
, The different sized flues, in turn,
! will be utilized to determine the
amount of heat lost in chimneys.
The time required to make a
i test of each kind of heating ap
paratus is expected to be about
a week or 10 days, Dr. Dickinson
said. The effect of outside tempera
tures and the sun on the heating of
the structure also will be studied,
he said.
The bungalow has eight windows
30 inches wide and 54 inches high
and two 20 by 36 inches. Arrange
ments are to be made for various
air vents, which the scientists may
need in carrying out the tests. Vin
cent B. Phelan, chief of the build
ing practice and specification sec
tion at the bureau, said.
Working in co-operation with the
bureau, scientists will be members
of the Subcommittee on Technical
Research of the Central Housing
Committee. The latter is composed
of the administrators and directors
of the various Federal groups in
terested in the experiments.
Nurse Drops Libel Suit
Against Mrs. Stinson
Miss Jessica M. Shoemaker, a reg
istered nurse, yesterday dropped her
$50,000 libel suit against Mrs. Lola
Stinson, who has been involved in
tangled marital litigation.
Justice Oscar R. Luhring signed
an order of dismissal in District
Court after Miss Shoemaker moved
to dismiss the suit in which she
had claimed she was "humiliated,
embarrassed and defamed" by Mrs.
Stinson.
The alleged libel, she had con
tended. occurred in a suit filed by
; Mrs. Stinson in May, 1938. Mrs.
Stinson, she said, charged the nurse
with administering medicines to her
and insisting that Mrs. Stinson
marry Joseph Whitla Stinson, from
whom the wealthy litigant has just
obtained an annulment. Mrs. Stin
son has been given permission by
the court to resume her former
name, Mrs. William Livingston
Crounse.
Congress Votes
Citizenship to
Navy Veteran
Ej the Associated Press.
Congress has voted citizenship for
John Ullmann, jr„ a representative of
American tobacco firms in China,
who served 30 years in the United
States Navy under the impression
he was a citizen.
Mr. Ullmann, now in this country,
cannot return to his wife and four
children in Shanghai until President
Roosevelt signs the bill. Neither
can he bring his family to America
in the meantime.
When he came to the United
States last February, Mr. Ullmann
learned he had not acquired citizen
ship when his father, who emigrated
from Russia, was naturalized in
1914. At that time, the son had
reached his majority.
The elder Ullmann took out his
first papers in Clay County, Nebr.,
in 1893, believing nothing else was
needed to establish citizenship for
himself and his family.
His son enlisted in the Navy in
1906. citizenship having been estab
lished to the Navy’s satisfaction by
an affidavit from the father. He re
tired in 19S6 and moved to Shanghai.

NEW RECREATION ADMINISTRATION—A chart prepared by The Star of the reorganized Dis
trict recreation setup. Recreation Director Lewis R. Barrett still retains his post as co-ordinator
of recreation under the National Park Service, but is being loaned for 120 days as director of
recreation (120 days is the limit to which an employe of one Government agency can be loaned to
another). After that his duties can be redefined by the Park Service to include those of director.
Community center posts could not be reorganized because of provision in the D. C. Appropriation
Act. Washington is divided in the National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s recreation
plan into 26 sections. Each section has a major recreation center, with satellitic playgrounds
serving radii of one-quarter mile.

YOUR GUNTHER'S
IS AS DRY AND
BEER-Y AS
EUROPE'S
, best! A
We’d like to have yea meet more of these experts. Each
- is an expert on beers made here and abroad. James
Wright is on the left, formerly of Hotel Savoy, London,
now in New York. Max Wex on the right, is a member of
L B. H, with Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland
T LAST you can get it! The beer taste which has
maintained the world-wide reputation of European
beers for so many years. And it doesn’t cost you a penny
more than regular beer to enjoy it. Gunther’s is as light
as European beers... but unlike so many U. S. A. made
beers it isn’t "sweet.”
Experts Amazed
'Europe never believed America could make a beer equal
to an old world glass of beer. But today it’s a fact. Here’s
what Mr. Fred Hercher, formerly of Baden-Baden, says:
"America can well be proud of that Maryland beer called
Gunther’s. In my judgment no costlier European beer
s is any better.” Mr. Werner Breloh says: "You’ve got a
great beer down there in Maryland... that Gunther's
equals the best European brews!” And so it goes, as one
International expert after another tells you that the
U. S. A. is beating Europe at her own game.
Your Lucky Day
Try Gunther's. And as you smack your lips over its dry,
clean, beer-y taste you can know, that in the opinion of
International experts... you couldn’t get a better glass
of beer in Holland, Denmark or any of the other fa
mous European countries. Order some Gunther's... it’s
great beer. Gunther Brewing Co., Baltimore, Md
For rich, hearty, full-bodied ALE.., look for
Gunther's in the beautiful green bottle. _
