Picking Right Furnace.

The greatest mistake made in heat
ing is putting the wrong type of
furnace in the house. There is a
type of furnace exactly suited to each
requirement If a type which does
not fill exact needs is installed it will
burn more fuel. Heating costs will
inevitably be higher than with the
correct system. More important still
is the fact that in spite of additional
fuel cost perfect comfort caSnot be

PLAN TO WIPE. OUT.
TAX PUBLICITY LAW
Congressional Action to Re-
peal Income Revenue Clause
Confidently Expected.

At least one bill, perhaps several,
will be introduced in the forthcoming
short session of Congress to repeal
the income tax publicity section of
the new revenue law. according to
indications in high administration
circles.
Although the Department of Justice
has begun consideration of fling suit
against some newspaper or news
papers to test out in the court the
two apparently conflicting provisions
OF the law, which open the income
tax record to public inspection, but
prohibit publication under penalty
of law, the administration is con-
WINGED that the howl of protest from
all parts of the country and from
all kinds of taxpayers against pub
licity win result in strong pressure
for congressional action.
Flood of Protests Received.
A flood of letters from taxpayers
has poured not only into the Treas
ury Department. it was learned, but
into the offices of members of Con-
Eress, protesting against the raveia-
tlon of income taxes by American
citizens. Practically the only sup
port of publicity. it was said, hos

Secretary Mellon is known to be

feature of the law as ever and prob

that the income tax figures cannot

TO year as to Indebtedness, overhead
costs, profit and loss and other fac
tors in such fashion that~the income

tually give the wrong impression to

Treasury Approves Repeal.
Ihe Treasury sees no benefit ac-
cruing from publicity of income tax
returns. either from the standpoint

ef1t to the taxpayer. The letters,
coming stin in great quantities. ex-
press strong resentment that the fig

Surely everyone knows it Is not

Placing bullets and other ex-
