Don't Take Neighbours Word
When Installing Heat Plant
Must Consider Exposure, Winds and Windows, Also
Size of House; Expert knowledge Necessary
if You Want 10 Keep Warm and Save

in this regard wholly in the
hands Of o competent architect and
take whatever ne pTescribes for them.
Assuming that tie heating system
itself - properly Gesigncd. one very
common mistake viii b eliminated at
the outset that OF having insufficient
reserve capacity in the boiler or fur

devices, is very apt 70 try 10 save on
boiler capacity. Now. a boiler is Ike

II will give greater efficiency sDd will
last longer i i IS not crowded to its
utmost capacity. Selecting a boiler
which is just large enough TO get by is
aiway5 poor economy.
The same thing applies to the size of
mains and risers. An architect, if left
alone, viii see that these are Of ample
size to supply all the radiation that is
connected to them, even in the most
extreme weather cond tions. Cutting
pipe sizes IS as poor economy as cut
ting the boiler.
All boilers and furnaces are depen-
dent on their draft for proper Elf
cheney. This means, of course, that
the chimney must be designed and built
to suit the boiler which is to be later
installed. The chimney fues must be
selected OF sizes adequate to the work

the proper height to insure the right
kind Of draft. All this seems
automatic, and yet it is exactly where
many owners make trouble for them

cut competent advice.
Leakage Another Vital Consideration
So much for the heating system it.
self. Now for another question which
is of vital Importance in the problem
of house heating, namely, that of pro-
tecting the openings against a leakage
of hot air TO the outside and of cold air
from the outside. Sashes must fit tight
~ in their frames. Good weather
stripping makes noticeable difference
in the size Of your coal bills. Window
and door frames must be tightly
caulked into the walls. In cases of ex-
IRENE exposure storm sRshes and doors
will be found paying investment.
Even the best systems in the best of
houses cannot be expected to work
properly without intelligent care of
the fire. A large proportion of our
heating problems comes FROM dirty
fires. although the system usually gets
the blame. This may be human, but it
is nevertheless unfair.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-17
By Harlow Lewis


W ttEh ~ SS ~ X "a
The selection CT the type OF heating
system 20 be used in q house is largely
a matter OF prevailing conditions.
There are three different types of sys-
tens in common usehot air hot water
and steam. Each has its advantages
and disadvantages, and the decision be-
tween them can be made only when all
the facts governing a particular case
are known.
In general, it is usually held that q
hot air furnace is more suitable for n
small house than fer large one. Hot
water systems arc applicable to mod
erate-szed houses rather than to very
large ones. The principal objections
usually made to hot water systems
ave: First, increased cost of installa
ton; second, the additional space re-
quired for the radiators; third, the
dancer of freezing in an empty house
if the system is left undrained; fourth.
the difficulty of controlling the heat IN
the house when rapid and extreme
changes of temperature occur outside.
Cheap Plants Cost Burn More Money
In the neighborhood of New York
Il steam system is more commonly used
than any other. This may be either a
single pipe, double pipe, modulated,
pipe being the least expensive so far
as first cost is concerned and the
vacuum system the most expensive.
The cost of operation and maintenance
of these different systems varies in
versely as their cost of installation.
Radiation in any case may be either
direct or indirect. The choice between
them has to be made by the owner
and his architect after a careful con-
sideration of all requirements and a
balancing of costs. In this connection
it should be remembered that the
cost Of maintenance and operation
should be given as careful considera-
ton az the cost of installation.
Whatever system of heating is
adopted, however. there are certain
general considerations which the OWL
err should keen constantly in mind.
The first of these is that his heating
system should be designed for his
particular house and depends not only
upon the size of the house, but on its
exposure. the direction of the prevail
ing winds in winter. the number and
kind of windows and the heat trans
hitting properties Of the outside walls.
1t is not safe, therefore, to copy d
heating system simply because it has
been giving good results in friends
house. The conditions which obtain in
the friends house may be entirely
different from those which will obtain
in yours, and satisfactory answer to
his heating problem may not, and
probably will not, help in the solution
of yours.
For some reason or other owners
seem to be more inclined to use their
own judgment in the selection of a
heating system than in any other de-
partment of. their constructive opera
tions. They would do better to leave

Common Sense Should Be Exercised in Planning
Landscape DEVELOPMENT Of Small Suburban Home
By E. N. Cleveland
OF Pe7,tecost & Martin. Inc,

The suburban owner usually erects
his dwelling and develops his place
with the idea of creating a home which
is to be his permanent residence and
in many instances the cost of which
represents hard earned savings.
However, future conditions may arise
which necessitate change of residence
or for some other reason the place must
be sold. 1t is, therefore, important to
the prospective suburban owner to take
a purely dollar and cents view of his
investment.
1t is obvious that we'll designed
place which is attactive in appearance
is more readily salable than one which
has been poorly planned and not prop
erly maintained.
In general it is the place as whole
which appeals to purchaser.
Development companies interested ir
the building and selling of suburban
places have found from purely bust.
ness point of view that it really pays
to have the grounds properly land
scaped.
While some may consider that, in
general, landscape work is a luxury
the fact remains that if the work is
properly designed and carried out il
has a commercial value.
Common Sense Development Is Salabie
On large estates whsre the cost of
landscape work is Of secondary i'm
portance, and where the owner goes to
extremes in developing his place, he
can hardly expect, if he should sell, to
really recover all which he has spent.
But if the owner Of small place de-
velops his property in common sense
