 This he did by making . register. one section of which was the counter part of the cold air register and the other of the hot air into the building and at the same time sucked out the cold air. h other words. it provided circulation.
 If you are not an expert on heating devices, you will undoubtedly have a lot of questions in your mind. The writer had. but he had an advantage over you-he asked them of men who are experts, and got the answers. They are now passed on to you.
 "How." one man was asked. "can . house. say one and half stories high. containing six rooms, be heated from one registerr
 Then 1t was explained. No attempt will be made to quote the expert liter ally. but here is what he said. in sub stance:
 The modern house Is open. That is. there are practically no rooms on the first floor. with the exception of the kitchen. that are shut of from the others. This is necessary to make . pipeless furnace efficient. Bedrooms are shut oil. but usually only at night. Everyone nowadays, who values his health. sleeps in an airy room.
 Warm air rises and as 1t rises 1t forces the cooler air towards the floor. When the heated air hits the ceiling 1t does not stop. but continues to wherever 1t can find air colder than Itself. It continues its pursuit of It's chilly brother until 1t. itself. becomes cold. or rather less warm. and then 1t starts to descend.
 This continuous stream of heated slr eventually drives out the colder air and heats the room. That's one room.
 "How." the prober continued. seek ing defects in the system, "can this furnace heat any part of the house ex- cept the room that contains the regis terT

 Now what follows Is the scientific basis upon which is founded the sue cess of the pipeless furnace.

that have to be quickly converted Into cash to prevent loss either to the in- dividual owner or to Uncle Sam. AS such, they are passed across the coun- ter in spot sales and the money turned into Uncle Sans treasury.
 But whether earnings or sales, this money Is turned over by the alien property custodian to the treasury of the United States and there converted into Liberty bonds. Thus Is German money made to work for Uncle Sam. to help build ships. buy food and sup plies, and keep fields and factories at home humming with industry against the Hun.
 Palmer Is Director.
 The alien property custodian in whose hands the direction of this great economic force against Germany has been placed is . Pennsylvania Quaker. His name is A. Mitchell Palmer. His forefathers came to America in the same ship with William Penn. and the family has lived for several genera lions within the lines of the original Quaker settlement.
 When appointed by the president. Mir. Palmer for several days carried his oath of ofice in his pocket. He could not find even desk room in crowded Washington. That was only i've months ago. Today his force num- bers over 400 employees In Washing ton alone, besides the hundreds scat tered across the country. The head quarters force is now established in an eight apartment house In one of the best residential districts of Washington which the government communicated and took possession of before 1t was finished.
 From here the alien property GUS todian Is today making pencils in New Jersey, chocolate in Connecticut, brew ing beer in Chicago. saving lumber in Florida. mining metal in Mexico. run ming real estate stores and commission on,ces and public utilities in all parts of the country. This enemy owned property may be stock certificates. or bonds or debts, life insurance premi- ums, or cash. real or personal property. but to come within the reach of this big government trust company 1t must be either owned in whole or In part by persons living within the enemy lines e by persons trading with Inter- est1 within the enemy lines.

Bartlesville. Okla.-During the Liberty loan campaign here. a solicitor secured subscrip- ton from a business man who gave the worker a s check as first payment on a $1OO bond.
 The check was turned down at the bank when presented. Re peated calls by the collector found the man always absent. The solicitor turned the check over to a federal agent. As a government receipt had been given for the check. the latter called on the business man and presented the check. It was made good at once.

AMERICAN GAS MASKS BEST
Takes Only Six Seconds to Put It on and it 10 Gas and Fool
 Proof.

ChIcago.-When it comes to fighting gas attacks the American soldier Is the best equipped in the world.
 This is the declaration made here by Maj. J. J. Aud, chief advisor of the British scientific mission. who is . chemical expert.
 He said that the German command has become so enraged at the failure of its high-powefed gases to discom- fit the Americans that they have of- fered a reward of ten marks to any soldier who brings in an American gas mask.
 ''The American mask is the marvel of the allied armies" says Major Aud. Tt is absolutely gas proof and fool proof. It takes only about six seconds to put 1t on. Unlike the Ger man mask 1t does not hang down and get In his way when one bends over."

TAX BILL To LUMP
ALL TOLL FOR WAR

WASHINGTON, July is.-Under the
new seO0O,O0O.OOO war revenue bill.
which the House Ways and Means
Committee began considering in secret
session, the American taxpayer will be
able to determine the exact toll taken
from him to support the war.
Chairman Kitchin announced that
direct taxation on all citizens was
contemplated as the easiest way Of
finding. additional revenue.
For the first time in the country's
history, all taxation bills are to be
merged in one single measure as far
as possible. The taxpayer, after the
passage Of the new bill, which will be
reported TO Congress some time in
September by understanding this sin
gle piece Of legislation will be able to
estimate the war tax levy against him
individually.
In framing the new tax law the
House committee will enter fields that
never before have been explored by
the adventurous American.
At todayls sessions there was a gen
eral discussion OF the tax on incomes,
excess profits and luxuries, but no con-
clusion upon any particular item was
reached, and the committee adjourned
until Friday, while the tentative draft
is being further worked out
The only new suggestion in the con-
fldential print Of the tentative bill is
as TO taxes on candy and flrearms, but
no rate Of taxation is proposed. None
OF the long list Of luxuries which the
Treasury proposed for taxation Is in
cluded. They will be taken up later.
Members sof the committee believe
many probably will be discarded. No
tax will be levied upon the break
fast table" or upon such commodities
as sugar, tea, cotton. lumber, wheat
and oil. according to members.
"nhis bill will coordinate all ex-
istlng tax laws and make II possible
for the taxpayer TO determine the
amount Of his war taxes and to pay
them all I'm a lump sum-" said Chair
man Kitchin.
However, Mr.. Kitchin did not say ex-
actly what he meant. He intended TO |
make clear that the taxpayer by pro-
visions OF the bill, will have tie oppor- |
tunty 10 learn what his war taxes are /
TO the final cent and not through the /
hands OF 'Nvar proflteers." For in
stance, the new bill will permit the
payment Of the tax on tobacco directly
across the counter, instead Of indirectly
through the tobacco dealer.
Profit taxes also will be easily estl-
mated. II the majority OF the com
mittee he's its way the measure Will
assess direct tax OF 80 per cent on
all excess profits due TO the wsr. al

was fought by Mr.. Kltchin at the last

AMERICAN TROOPS
HIT BACK FOR THE
HONOR OF THE FLAG

PARIS. July is.-"We regret being
unable on this occasion to follow the
counsels Of our masters. the French,
but the American flag has been forced
to retire. This is uncomfortable, and
none Of our soldiers would understand
their not being asked to do whatever
is necessary to re-establish (remedy?)
situation which Is humiliating TO us
and unacceptable to our country's
honor. We are going to counterattack."
This was a message sent by an Amer
lean general in command OF American
forces south Of the Marne on Monday
afternoon after the Germans had sue
ceeded in forcing the Americans back
toward Conde-en-Brie.
The French commander informed the
American general that the early Ger.
man success could not have any great
effect on the fate of the battle: that it
was understood perfectly that after
hard fighting the Americans had slowly
retired, and that it was not expected
that they Immediately launch a coun-
ter-attack. He added that counter
attack could be postponed without risk,
and il might be better 10 give the
American troops an hours rest.
Immediately after the American gem
eral sent the foregoing message, which
is quoted by the correspondent OF the
Matin, the Americans launched their
counterattsck and the lost ground was
soon recovered, with an additional half
mile taken from the Germans for good
measure.
