CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Dtfice Building Heated By Sun Keeping Warm in cold weather is SO important to homeowners that one-fourth of the feel they use is for heating, Winter Porn,• fort means a fuenece fired by gas, oil, or coal, with electricity ,about the only other Means of loing the jet), Designers in Albuquerque, N.M., have gone the engineers one better a heating an office building with another kind of furnace. This furnace is 93,000,- NO miles away—in other words the sun, A number of homes have been heated in the past with solar energy, but the office building Is the first of its kind. Strikingly modern, the 4,300- square-foot building has one en- tire wall of glass panels. This wall, actually a Solar "collector" lilted to an angle of 30 degrees, fields the key to the heating sys- tem. Under the glass are metal panels through which water cir- culates. Fabrication of these Panels is unusual, A sheet of aluminum has the desired chan- nels for water passage "painted" en it with a special compound. A. second sheet of metal is plac- ed over the first and the two are bonded together with tremen- clous heat and pressure. Where the "painting" was done, the metal does not stick together. [acre, hydraulic ' pressure ex- pands the channel which was Marked out, and it is through this that the water travels. %The more-than 800 square feet of collecting surface gathers enough heat from the sun even on winter days to heat the in- terior of the building by means of air blown over the hot-water galls. And if you think the solar "furnace" shuts down after dark, you're wrong. A 6,000-gallon water tank stores heat in the form of hot water and this is used at night and during cloudy weather. There is sufficient stor- age for three days' operation. Engineers expect that sun heat will provide 90 per cent of the beating required for the n e w building. In the' fall, and again in spring, it is sometimes neces- sary to heat during night and morning while cooling in the afternoon. So, heat is shut off when not needed and stored in the water tank. In conjunction with the solar heating system, the building has a "heat pump" and a evapora- tive water cooler. Thus, it is completely air conditioned the year round, The building was constructed for about the same cost per square foot as a conventional building, and the designers are confident that 'operating costs will be much lower than with a gas-fired furnace. Serving as It basis for the design of similar structures, the solar-heated building may even influence re- sidences as well. Perhaps some day apartments may proudly advertise "solar heat': "Come all ye bold sailors that follow the sea Lay , your ship to an anchor and listen to me, It's all your attention I loudly would call To a song that was made up very late in •the fall." e 4 I 1 I .1 4 I 1 Descriptive of a Dachshund?

PRESCRIPTION Fabulous Monte Carlo—spot- lighted last year by the wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rai- nier—was in the news again last month with the royal couple's eagerly awaited happy event. But the tiny state of Monaco, with its great gambling casino, has often claimed the world's headlines in the past. How did Monte Carlo begin? In Paris, just a hundred years ago, twin brothers, Francois and Charles Blanc, were waiters in a third-rate restaurant and shared a bedroom in a garret. When Freacois got the sack from his job their united capital was 18s. But Francois had his dreams. He enticed his brother into a scheme to swindle some stockbrokers. The Blanc brothers worked out a system of signalling by semaphore and used it'''on the Paris Stock Exchange. So when they bought and sold foreign shares they alone knew whether the shares had gone up or down. Several Paris brokers became suspicious and engaged half a dozen detectives to watch the Blanes, who were eventually caught redhanded and sent to jail for seven months. But they made a pile just the same. For although they spent much money on their defence and bribing witnesses and had to pay back a great deal of the money they had made, the twins left prison with a capital of £4,000, a large sum a hundred years ago, The Blanes went to Hamburg, and obtained the gambling con- cession there and made a success of it. So much so that Lord Brougham, the British legal ex- pert who popularized the poky little village of Cannes and turned it into a thriving tourist city, said of Francois Blanc: "He astonished me by the profundity of his prevision and calculation." Certainly Francois Blanc was an astute financier. Soon after he arrived in the German city, Francois married a beautiful Bavarian peasant girl, Charlotte Hensel, who had left the countryside to be a maid in a small Hamburg hotel. Ru- mour said it was a "shotgun marriage," but most certainly Madame Francois Blanc was the driving force behind her hus- band's huge fortune and became the mother-in-law of princes. Francois flourished in Ham- burg until Prussia defeated France in 1871. Then Germany was united under the first Kai- ser; who was soon threatening to annul the gambling conces- sions in Germany. Francois Blanc thought he'd better look for pastures new. He heard that several syndi- cates were trying to obtain a gambling concession in the Prin- cipality of Monaco where the reigning prince was on the verge of bankruptcy. The location the syndicates were after was known as Le Roc de Spelugues, later` to become world-famous as "Char- lie's Mount." Francois came too late. The Rock had been let to a couple of adventurers who had ham:- boozled the prince into granting them a concession. But Francois Blanc stayed to look over the property on which he had his eye. He decided that thousands of, pounds would have to be spent on it- before it could be the sue- ,cess hevisualized. For one .thing, ' the place was almost inacces- sible, -There was no railway — Monaco could only be reached by a foul ship which took an hour and a half, or 'by coach, which took twice as long. -Blanc left his spies behind him in Monaco to advise him how the adventurers were far- ing with their gambling conces- sion and returned to Germany. When he got 'word that the syndicate was on the point Of fulling he drew 400,000 from his 'lank, took it to Monaco and said to a man named LefevrL‘, who held the. coneession. "I'll give you £50.000 in cash for your concession. If you haggle, I'll give you nothing! Now I'm going, to lunch. if you ,haven't made up raer mind before I've finished, then I shall return to Germany and never come back!" Before he had finished his meal Lefevre came to him and said simply: "Give me the mon-ey,' The small inn where Francois lunched that fateful day is now the famous gOtel de Paris where Grace Kelly etayed before her wedding. One of the first things Fran- cois did was to put his wife in charge of the hotelaand ehe be- gan to work wonders. Meals in those 'days cost 4s„ including wine. Francois gave orders that gamblers who had lost their money at the casino opposite could chalk. up their meals at the hotel. Francois Blanc may have been, the "Uncrowned King of Monte Carlo," but certainly Madame. Blanc, the former Bavarian pea- sant girl, was the uncrowned queen. She became known local, ly as "The Queen of Roulette." Blanc was very generous to the reigning prince. He gave him £2,000 a year, plus ten per cent. royalty on the profits of the Ca- sino. He also paid, fed and clothed the prince's army of 120 officers and men, maintained the eighty-strong Monaco police force, subsidized the public ser- vices and the Church, Madame Blanc also started a salon and, although illiturate, she made a successful climb into. Riviera society. Then, after her husband died a multi-millionaire in 1877, she became even more socially ambitious, She married her daughter. Louise to Prince Constantine Radziwill, but she was dissatisfied with the match. She said her younger daughter Marie must do better. Marie was coached before she left school to be worthy bait for royalty. There had been a cool- ness between, the Blanes and the prince of Monaco. He felt that he was being laughed at for taking money from a Parisian ex-waiter. He decided that if he was to be insulted it would have to be worth while, so he had asked. Blanc to increase the roy- alty on the profits. Blanc had agreed without a murmur, but, he insisted that both the officers and men of the prince's army must always sa- lute him and his wife! ' Now Marie Blanc was out of the schoolroom and ready to be courted. The prince of Monaco was disdainful, was he? Well, well, Marie's mamma would show him. Let the other suitors , appear. The first to come forward was Prince Henry of Battenburg, but Mamma turned him down 'be- cause she wanted a French hus- band for Marie. The marriage broker employed by Madame Blanc then brought forward Prince Roland Bonaparte. This time Mamma approved and Marie was married. Madame. Blanc, even during her husband's lifetime, had been worried by the increasing power of Francois Blanc's large illegiti- Mate family. They were mostly males, but the shrewd Bavarian- born "Queen of Roulette" calcu- lated that with her daughters both married to princes, they would be a barrier against the progress at the Casino of the daughters' half-brothers. In 1881 Madame Blanc died. And two years after her Mar- riage to Prince Roland Bona- parte, Marie also died. But Francois Blanc did have a legitimate son, Edmond, who, when the Casino was turned in- to a limited liability company, became joint director with his princely brothers-in-law: Later, all three pulled out. The princes obtained huge for- tunes for their shares, Edmond put his roulette fortune into su- gar, He entered French political life and was unseated for bri- bery,and corruption. But there was yet another Blanc, an illegitimate one, Ca- mille, and he carried on with the Casino. Big Rush C ming 'They Expected A Welcome Mat `There ought to he some ma- chinery for taking care of us," said one of the AVE Iiiingarian refugees sitting in an earnest and perplexed semi-circle in yi.- enna, "You Americans," he went on, "are the leaders of the anti- Communist movement in the world, But you do not seem to be ready for us. When we went over to communism, they were ready for us." The word "ready" was spell- ed out. One hod been given a Stalin peace prize and what amounted to the title of poet laureate of Ilungary, with per- cluisites.'Another had been wel- comed with a fine apartment at government expense, a free holiday, and a regular pension to support him whether he worked or not, People who went over to communism in the cold-war period found their actions ma- terially profitable. They be- came members of the privileged elite of the Communist world. Now that they have fled from Hengary and broken with com- munism, they felt they had earn- ed the right to a simile; prefer- ential treatment in the West. Clearly, these five cattle over with a subconscious assumption that the same kind of„apparatus would meet them on our side. But there is no such apparatus, For those who never went Com- munist there are visas, and refugee caps, and transportation to any one of many Western countries — with the prospect of a good new life opening up before them. But for the prodigal son of the West who was tempted by communism, there is no fatted calf qn his attempted return. The United States may or may not be accurately styled as the leader of the anti-Com- munist movement in the world. But it has not adopted from communism the practice of en- couraging and rewarding ideo- logical redefectors. There is no system of rewards -- no fine apartments, no paid vacations, no subsidy. That absence of the subsidy was the most disturbing of all to these prodigal sons. To them what they had done was an im, portant and dramatic thing. They had stories to tell which they thought a hungry Western world was waiting to hear. They proposed to write it all down in a composite book. But while writing they had to eat, and keep warm: Surely "the United States ought to make some pro- vision for us." These are the new men with- out a country. They have been disillusioned by communism, or so they say. They cannot re- turn whence they came. Or at least they assume that they can- not expect such good treatment a second time. But no one wants them in the West. There is al- ways the question of the extent of their reconversion. There is always the possibility of a lapse into their old faith. Auitria does not want to compromise its neutrality by allowing them to remain on Austrian soil. The United States will not take them. Some Western countries will allow them to enter, but not many and none with eager- ness. And no one is prepared to regard them as worthy of pensions and subsidies writes Joseph C. Barsch in The Chris- tian Science Monitor. And why should they? Are these allegedly disillusioned de- fectors from communism of any real use to anyone? They are curiosities. The story of their conversion and' disillusionment is of some theoretical interest to political science historians. But it's a fairly old story by this time. There is a limit to the market for books by ex-Com- munists. The first one was a novelty. From now on the story tends to become repetitious. The uselessness to Western society of an ex-Communist is not something which can easily by explained to one of them. A curious kind of egoism breaks through their plaints. In their own eyes they pare persons of unusual importance a n d aver- thin esS .The idea that they could be as other men, taking their chances in a competitive world, seems to be beyond their ken. The conversation lasted rot some TWO hours, To the very end they kept referring to their Original 'contention that "their should be some provision to take care of its," They" have become politfeal lost souls wandering wraith- like along the banks of the my- er ,styx unable to return.
