PERFECT SUMMER DAY Humidity was down near normal and a brilliant sun gave Philadelphia a perfect summer day.

"This," said the Weather Man, "looks like the last fine day before real scorching weather sets in." The Weather Bureau said that the temperatures would reach into the high 80's today, followed by scattered showers. "That will be the last break in the hot spell until late week-end," the Bureau forecasts. Low temperature yesterday was 72 degrees at 5 A. M. Dawn brought an up-surge that reached 80 at 10.30 A.

Another overflow audience was there. OVERFLOW AT POOLS Custine Lake, the beach at League Island Park and the other city swimming pools that managed to open Tuesday despite the manpower shortage, reported overflowing turnouts. Beaches along the upper Delaware River and its tributaries drew more hundreds. Through the rest of the State the weather was hanging up records. Pittsburgh sweltered in the hottest weather of the year.

Downtown thermometers reached 90 at 2 P. M. Boy, 7, Found After 10-Mile Walk Seven-year-old Jackie Janof, of 3101 Hoffman drive, walked 10 miles to Ridley Park, Delaware county, from League Island Park, where he had gone swimming yesterday with his 11-year-old brother, David.

Welcome, Misfits! 2 41oscoils Arrive ait Zoo TWO zoological misfits, known as coscorobas, arrived at the Philadelphia Zoo yesterday from South America the first of the species to be exhibited here in 21 years.

The newcomers puzzled scientists for many years as to whether they were small swans or large geese. In size, they are about half-way between, their snow-white plumage is swanlike, but the quill tips are black YOU TAMtr A Guess! and the bill and legs rosy red. Ornithologists, who worry about such things, now class them as geese. TWO young rheas, probably best-known to cross-word puzzle fans, also checked in from South America yesterday. The rhea resembles a small ostrich, being flightless and depending on its long legs for its safety.

The male rhea, something of a patsy, sits on the eggs to hatch the young, while Mamma Rhea gallivants about. I Agency Seeks To Cut Costs On Homes The Federal Housing Administration has set a ceiling of $7400 as the maximum mortgage it will insure on homes built under the Veterans Emergency Housing Program, Leo A. Kirk. Philadelphia FHA director, announced yesterday. The ceiling applies to a three-bedroom house with garage, with lower maximums covering two-bedroom houses.

Local variations below th maximum will be determined by the Philadelphia office on the basis of cost estimates in other communities. Kirk said. DOWNWARD PRESSURE This action follows FHA's policy of exerting "downward pressure" on the cost of new home construction and the sales prices of existing houses. It does not bar a veteran from paying more than $7400 for a home. It merely sets that amount as the most for which the FHA will insur mortgages.

Under the recently inaugurated priorities system, the FHA now has authority for much closer analysis of the costs of a home, and may determine whether the standard of construction warrants the full amount of mortgage insurance. SUBJECT TO REVIEW "The mortgage ceiling prices being fixed," said Kirk, "are based upon an acceptable three-bedroom house of approximately 1000 square feet, including garage, and will be subject to periodic review as the cost situation changes. If the cost of a garag is not Included, the mortgage amount will be retluced. "Each of these steps is taken with a view to assisting the builder to produce housing at lower cost. Contractors can themselves control only a small part of the current costs composing the sale price of a house that part affected by their own profit and whatever efficient methods they can introduce.

EFFICIENCY IMPAIRED "Their efficiency Is seriously impaired by present conditions. For th balance of cost, they are at th mercy of the market. "The 'downward pressure policy we are instituting will necessarily exerted gradually." Although the ceilings are based on a three-bedroom house, that will not prevent building other types, Kirk said, but will channel funds mad available through Title VI of the National Housing Act into house below the highest-priced bracket. A veteran may still build additional features or size into a house, if he desires through combination of the FHA-insured mortgage and insurance under the G. I.

bill, up to the $10,000 sales price limit of the emergency program, Kirk pointed out. Ft. Washington Girl Wins Scholarship Miss Russell Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lee.

of Fort Washington, has been awarded the Franklin Spencer Edmonds Memorial Scholarship for 1946-47. it was announced yesterday by Mrs. Edmonds.

The blaze, believed to have been started by defective wiring, was confined to the floor. There was no damage to stock, Candel said. Army Vet Sues Wife for Savings Charles H.

Graham, of 251 S. 40th petitioned Common Pleas Court yesterday for return of "his share" of $3352 savings which he said had been in the care of his wife. He added that his wife threatened to divorce him. The wife, Lista. of 4ath st.

Green said the conferences must complete a report by Aug. 12, if the question of a new water supply was to be submitted to public referendum at the November General Election. Clarke said that the Willow Grove station would be in operation indefinitely, having been designated as one of 22 throughout the Nation for the Navy's air training program. HARMFUL TO OPERATION Creation of a reservoir at Warrington, he said, would interfere with operation of the field, block any possible expansion, require the establishment of a 24-hour crash rescue service, and involve expenditure of $15,000 for relocating the field's sewerage plant. Albert Smith Paught, attorney for the Horsham Citizens Committee, protested that the Warrington reservoir would destroy famous landmarks as well as other property.

LEHIGH PLAN ATTACKED He proposed that Philadelphia acquire 136 acres between Oak Lane and Tacony Creek for a series of reserve basins. Faught said this would involve expenditure of only $950,000 as compared to $5,000,000 for the Warrington reservoir. The hearing brought new attacks on proposals of engineers for the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co. that Philadelphia find its new water source in the Pocono area. ASSERTION QUESTIONED Francis F.

Friel, secretary to the Board of Consulting Engineers, denied the Lehigh Co. assertion that its water require filtration. "I'm positive that the Pennsylvania Department of Health will not. approve a new source of water supply without filtration," Friel said. Joel D.

Justin, also a member of the board, said the Lehigh Co. was 'sailing too close to the wind" in estimating hat its region could supply Philadelphia's water needs. ASKED TO FILE BRIEFS Another board member, Gustav J. Kequardt, questioned the Lehigh Co. claim that water could be brought here by gravity flow through a surface conduit.

William S. Schnader, counsel for the Lehigh said that its land and water rights would stand up in the face of court action. This was questioned by Frank B. Murdoch, counsel for the Philadelphia Water Commission, and both were asked to file briefs. INSPECTION TOURS SET It was indicated that the Public Works Committee members will visit the various areas proposed as new water sources before making a final decision.

Councilman Clarence K. Crossan expressed regret that the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade had failed to send representatives to the series of hearings.

Atlantic City Q. Please explain in your column hy the England General Hospital in Atlantic City is closing. Where did these heroes go from this hospital?

Evans. It was not learned immediately whether any lifers had escaped. What started it all was a lost dog, owned by Mrs. Emily D. Christmas, proprietor of a taproom on N.

South Carolina ave. "The dog was picked up, as dogs will be, by the dog catcher. AND patrons of the tavern, as they will, cried into their beer over the sad plight of Mrs. Christmas and the poor little lost dog. One of them finally decided that action was more appropriate than sympathetic suds or beer laden words.

So he went to the pound and freed the pet. Unfortunately, he forgot to close the door. By morning, when Evans reported for duty, the 31 other dogs had succumbed to the scent of freedom and fled the premises. THERE was a call to action. Evans and his two assistants grabbed nets and went out into the city.

When their concentrated chase came to an end, they had rounded up 33 dogs, which was one above par and put them ahead of the game. And. believe it or not, one of those rounded up and netted was so help us Mrs. Christmas' pet dog, which had strayed from the tavern again, perhaps in seeking freedom from the beer barrel philosophers.
