FUEL BILLS CUT
BY OIL BURNER
Heat Giving Is Controlled by
Automatic Device,

In a test made on the Williams Oil
O-Matic burner. carried by the W. d.
Long Company. 144 East Ohio St,
the burner proved more economical
than coal.
In one case where the fuel bill had
been S125 before installation OF the
burner it was cut to $50
In a large heating plant the cost OF
upkeep with coal was $685.. This
was reduced to $500 through installa-
ton Of the ONO Matte.
Economy OF the OiIO-Matic was
the only thing to be proved" said
Long, las 1t already had cleanliness,
even temperature and minimized care
in operation in its favor"
Many builders are installing the
heating device in homes. apartment
houses, bake ovens, greenhouses and
other places.
The burner uses any kind Of oil
from crude oil TO kerosene with
equally good results. 1t Is explained
and causes no smoke or SCOT.
The heat can be automatically con-
trolled. so that q person can have re-
duced heat during the night and still
set the clock so the heat will be in
creased early enough in the morning
to comfortably heat the house" Long

HUMBLEST HOME
MAY Be BEAUTIFUL
BY USE OF PAINT
Manager Of Hatfield COM
pany Gives Suggestions
for improvements.

Freshness home takes on
with application of new paint is like
physical beauty that spring awakens.
According to w. z. Steinbarger,
manager Of the Hatfield Paint Com
pany, 104 S. Meridian St. a person
should not apply paint to stop decay,
but he should look to the beauty
giving qualities. He should give
some thought to working out an in
that this is appropriate for the house
IN mind.
Three things must be considered in
painting: Weather conditions should
be favorable, the surface should be
properly prepared. and the paint must
be properly applied
AS in all lines. scientific research
has been responsible for development
in manufacturing paints. There is a
paint for every possible use and each
one is especially prepared. In paint
ing the exterior OF a building for the
first time, the prime coat should re-
celve special attention. This coat
should be the same paint as that used
for the exteriors except that 1t should
be of thinner consistency than the
following coats.
In painting a house that Is low the
trim can be applied in such a way as
to seem to heiEhten the house On the
other hand the trim can be SO applied
as to emphasize the breadth of a
house Of narrow frontage, Color
should be chosen with an eye to the
surroundings as well as to the indi-
vidual house.
Not only are frame houses capable
Of rejuvenation by use OF paint. but
the trim on stone. stucco and brick
should be carefully renewed in order
to protect the surface"

BLOCKS STAND Up
UNDER ALL TESTS
Gibraltar Cement Company
Has Special Process,

According to law, certain specifca-
tons must be met in the construc-
ton of cement blocks. Blocks must
- subjected TO certain curing pro-
Sesses and one-third Of the block must
be given TO air space.
In a visit to the Gibraltar Cement
Block Company. Morris St. and Eagle
Creek, it was found that little OF the
actual work in block construction was
done by man power. The sand IS
carried down into the mixer from a
hopper which enpties twenty-seven
cubic feet every eight minutes.
AS this sand goes into the mixer.
cement is automatically added and
carried into the moulding machine.
Cement surrounds the cores of the
mould and is tamped down with great
pressure. a lever releases the blocks,
and they are loaded on cars and taken
to the curing room. Two Of these
machines, each with a capacity OF
1900 blocks daily, are being operated
By this company.
A temperature of 1875 degrees is
maintained in the drying room Sc
cured by running a stream OF water
over a steam filed pipe under the floor.
Every few inches holes are bored in
the pipe. thus emitting vapor which
fills the curing room. Twenty-four
hours in this room equal fourteen
days in the open.
Experienced cement men in charge
Of the construction explained the su-
periority Of the arrangement Of the
air space in the Gibraltar block In
many blocks this air space is con
fined to. large openings while the
Gibraltar block has three air cham
bers. thereby providing greater resist
ance to heavy pressure.

pany, is planning to install additional
