risk and because Of the unhealthy con-
ditions which are to be found there.
The heating Of any building may be
accomplished by either Greet or indi-
rect radiation. 1t MAJ have its own
heating system, or it may be one of a
system Of several deriving their heat
from a central plant, just as the sew
eral floors of q building may be heat
ed by single furnace. AS to the
method of distributing the heat In
various rooms, this may be done by
placing the radiatlng surface directly
in the room and heating 1t by circu-
lating through it some conductor, like
hot water or steam, or the radiating
surface may be outside the room and
the air heated by being passed over
it and then to the room by pressure
or induction.
The latter plan introduces COM
bined heating and ventilating system.
Evidently this method is particularly
applicable to motor houses, as 1t Grad
icates not only all fire but all heated
surfaces which might cause the char
ring of dry wood or waste, and the ig-
milton of the petrol vapors in an indi-
rect way. But this method, involving.
as it does, the installation Of fans and
heating stacks, is too expensive for
simple use except in elaborate estab-
lishments. 1t is a comparatively sim
pie matter, in many cases, to use
steam or hot water heat, piping the
supply from a neighboring building.
This Is applicable to many OF the
small private garages.
Where it is necessary to heat the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-10

building independently there are sew
eral satisfactory methods which may
be employed. This consists Of a small
heater, using oil, or preferably gas,
placed in a metal sheathed compart-
ment on the outside. Within, on the
adjacent wall, is placed a ombined
radiator and expansion tank of simple
construction. On the same principle
any small heater, as Is used for green
houses for instance, may be employed,
the coils being laid upon the more ex-
posed walls and under the windows.
A simplification of this IS to build
the compartment sufficiently large to
incrose a stove, and to place sheet
iron bell over the latter leading to q
register in the wall. The inside of this
'1ean-to" erection must be lined with
sheet metal, and a considerable air
space allowed between the lining and
the sheathing to prevent undue leak
age of heat. The efficiency of such a
method would depend largely on the
construction of the building and the
amount of leakage of heated air
through the roof and walls, which
would easily be reduced to a practical
minimum. and the system thereby
made very effective
Turning to the subject of ventilation,
1t will be seen that the capacity of the
ventilators must be sufficient to re-
move any excess of vapor which may
be caused by unlooked-for conditions
in the car. Heated air, of course. rises.
The fact must be the basis of all con-
siderations of the ventilating problem.

GOLD BRICK MAN
IN AUTO BUSINESS
SCHEMES FOR WORKING THE
UNWARY BUYER
Faklr Works Prospective Buyer for
Fee to "ssve Money" on Price
of Car, Who Hates to Give
Dealer Commission

At last the gold brick operator and
the confidence man has appeared In
the automobile business.
His schemes for working the unwary
buyer of the class who Is always want
ing something for nothing are similar
to the methods this gentry have al
ways used.
A certain class OF automobile buyer
hates to give the local dealer his le-
gitimate commission on a sale, al
though in self-protection he ought to
do so, because otherwise the local
dealer cannot give him the service and
attention afterward that are necessary
to get the best results from his pur-
chase. The faker uses this propensity
to mulct the prospective customer of
fee for membership in "Co-operative
Buyers league" or some other similar
high-sounding organization, on the
representation that such membership
will enable him TO buy certain we'll
known automobile accessories for less
than regular price.
Needless to say, his aim Is first TO
get the initiation fee which is all
"velvet," and, second, to use the name
of the prospective buyer to hold up
some local dealer for a split commits
sion on the sale II one Is made. NO
reputable manufacturer would think OF
selling his wares through any such or
ganization as outlined.
One of the most daring pieces OF
confidence work that has come to our
attention was pulled off by one Q.
Schmidt at Jacksonville, Ala, last
week. On the representation that ne
was connected with the Studebaker
Automobile company he got a cash de-
posit of SIS IN advance on a Stude-
baker FLANDERS 80" The man who
paid the deposit was well-known
business man of that city and one who
should have known better. But the
representations of the willy gentleman
were so fair that the victim did not
ask for credentials or other evidence
that he was representing the Stude-
baker company. He got the money
and decamped. When last heard OF
he was supposed to be on the way to
Buffalo. 1t would be well for automo~
bile dealers and prospective buyers %
iraen a sharp outlook for this class OF
confidence game and not fall a victim
to it.

HEATING GARAGE
PROBLEM WORRY
THEIR BUILDERS
REASONABLE UNIFORM Tenn
PERATURE DESIDERATUM
EXCESS OF VAPoR SHOULD BE
CARRIED OFF WITH CERTAINTY
Flooding carburetors or Leaky Pipe
Joint May Cause Great Danger.
What Should Be Avoided
Pointed Out

The problem of properly heating and
vontilating garages Is one which de-
mands the serious consideration of
every motorist, whether he keeps his
car in public garage or at home in
place Of his own. The conditions in
Volved in the case of large garage,
comprising shops, offices and several
floors, are somewhat complicated, put
in the small garage and private motor
house they are less complex, and are
perhaps of more vital interest to the
average motorist.
Considering first the matter of heat
ing, the problem is to keep the storage
place at a reasonable uniform tempera-
ture throughout all weather changes,
and this without danger of igniting the
vapors which are so much to be
dreaded.
The temperature which is to be
maintained, with which the choice OF
method to a large extent varies, de-
pends chiefly on the fancy of the own
er. The only absolute requirement is
that. tho temperature shall never get
low enough to freeze the water In the
tanks and pipes. This is essential, not
simply because of the dangers atten-
dant upon freezing the cooling water
of petrol cars or the boilers of steam
ers, but also on account of the un-
machinery and the difficulty Of filing
grease cups and lubricators when the
oil Is CONCEALED. Besides, If kept in
cold stable the bearings of car be-
come so stiff as to use up considerable
extra power when run again, while If
they are kept reasonably warm when
the car Is standing they will not stiffen
up while on tho road, except in ex-
treme weather. Moreover, certain
types of carburetors give trouble when
cold.
No Open Fire
It's inf1ammable character and the
fact that petrol vapor Is heavier than
air, make 1t imperative that the heater
be one which contains no open fire-at
least within the walls of the building,
AS 1t is often necessary that petrol be
handled In the garage, the precaution-
ary measures must consist essentially
of placing the fire where the vapor can
not come in contact with it. This may
be doneb y locating the source of heat
in another building or in q compart-
ment of the same building, which is
partitioned off by freproof walls and
having it's entrance from the outside
only.
Basement boiler and furnace rooms,
as used in other buildings, are out of
the question. And in this connection 1t
may be noted that the use of base
ment floors in garage is always un-
safe, unless special ventilation is pro-
vided for removing the heavy gases
which accumulate there. The not un-
common practice of locating shops and
battery charging rooms in ill-lighted,
unventilated subfioors is very dam
gerous, both on account Of the fire

duce a circulation of air from all parts
of the room to one at the top. But,
as already stated. petrol Vapor is heaY-
Ter than air and must always tend 10
stay near the floor, except when stirred
by a draught Therefore the air outlet
in garage must be at the bottom or
the room instead of at the top.
Are FIImsIly Built
Many motor houses, especially the
small ones, are 80 hlmsily built and
have so much free ventilation unaVold-
ably that no special provision is con-
sidered necessary. But as a safeguard
against emergencies, particularly at
night, when a flooding carburetor or
leaky pipe Joint may be the means OF
distributing petrol over the floor, abb
solutely certain ventilation must be Sc
cured.
The complete indirect method Of
heating and ventilating may be applied
to large or expensive garages with the
best Of success; but for the small
structure a very simple method, which
should be effective in clearing the dam
ger zone within a few inches of the
floor, is as follows: An ordinaryPstove-
pipe is run up one of the walls of the
building and projecting through the
roof Is topped with ventilating cap.
At the bottom 1t is loft open a few
inches above the level OF the floor.
Part way up the wall 1t Is heated by
close contact with the radiator; or 1t
may be jacketed and heated by the
burning gases from the stove, out this
is not to be recommended on account
of the danger from sparks in the smoke
passage. The air within 1t, thus heated
considerably above the mean temper
ature of the room, will rise and form
an appreciable draught thus drawing
from the floor by displacement. 1t Will
be seen that the effectiveness of this
depends on the amount of heat which
can be concentrated about the pipe at
one point. The other radlating sur
face must be so disposed as to aid
circulation OF air about the room and
produce a swirling current toward the
outlet.
Acts as Cold Air Inlet
Were the outlet to be made simply
q register in the outer wall of the
building instead of serving as ven
tilator, 1t would act as a cold air inlet,
the heated air within drawing in more
and more by displacement, and as
result there would be no real ventila-
ton. If the natural tendency of the
air be used. and the outlet be at the top
of the room, as in many of the older
systems in present use, current of
heated air will be set up in an up
wardly curving line from the radiator
to the outlet; the heat will largely go
to waste and eddies of stagnant air
will accumulate along the floor.
This is what must be particularly
avoided in motor houses, as 1t is the
floor line which must be cleared first.
BY reversing the natural tendency,
wholly or in part, and placing the
source of heat upon the walls, or at
the top OF the room, and drawing
away the spent air and gas from the
bottom, uniform heat distribution is
secured and the necessary drainage ef-
fected.
