CHICAGO RODEO HERE Attic of Future Soldiers' Field ia Scene of World's CJ-ampionahip Contests from Aurust 14 to 22 Will Have G1·eat Variety of Uses The Jowly attic, most abused spot in the home, is about to take on a ne\v dignity, . says the Celotechnic Institute of America. Advanced building methods forecast a bright future ior this "orphan of the house." The attic of tomorrow, according to the institute, will go far beyond today's attic in the variety of uses of whid1 it will he adapted. The present-day attic. if utilized at all for other purposes than _tora~e, contains a little used room or two, and the discomfort of summer heat and winter cold is accepted by most people as a matter of course. .The perfection hy science of a new insulating lumber gives promise of changing all this. Heretoforr., roofs huilt of ordinary materials sen·ed as a point of atta~k for · the sun's rays in hot weather and allowed fttrnace heat to leak out in cold weather. maki"ng it almost impossible to keep the attic rooms comfortable. ~ow the same attics can be lined with the new insulating lumber which sheds the heat of summer and the cold of winter. and opens the attic for sleeping rooms. play rooms, workshop and a myriad of other ~-.s-cs. Thus a new dig-nity is brought to a much-maligned spot in the home, and opens for everyday usc space otherwise useless. This new de\·elopment also brings a very material saying in fuel. Bagasse or crushed sugar cane fihre from the mills of the south is the material that goes into the making of this man-made lumber, according to the institute.

Fordson Plant Makes Record Making Fords Another mi11ion mark in Ford production was passed on July 21 when ,motor No. 14,000,000 came off the assembly line at the Fordson plant of the Ford 11otor company. Some idea of the present enormous production of Ford cars is obtained when it is recalled that it was only a little more than two years ago, June 4, 1924, that the famous 'Ten Millionth Ford' was produced, an event which was celebrated by driving the car across the country from New York to San Francisco on the Lincoln highway. In the twenty-five and a half months elapsing since that time Ford output increa~~d 4,000,000. The . firs.t Model T was turned out on Octorber 1, 1908 and it was not until seven years later, December 10, 1915, that the first million was reached.
