This whole question Of economy is insepa-
rably tied up with the patented Nobol COM
bustion chamber system. Fuel cost is not
matter Of the grade of oil used. 1t is matter
of proper combustion. If your oil burner
causes SCOT, this means wasted fuel. It means
insulation of your boiler surfaces and more
waste. If your oil burner depends on brick
work to concentrate the heat there is more
waste till these bricks get red hot. Some
times it takes an hour to heat them properly.
Sometimes they never reach the 1900 nee
essary to complete combustion. Every min
ute your burner operates below this tenn
perature it means waste. Nol1o1 reaches this
temperature in 80 seconds.
If instead of the combustion chamber
brick-work is used for this purpose it cuts
down the already small heat>absorbing sur
face of the average coal boiler. More waste.

The Nokol Combustion Chamber is the one
great new contribution of the past 10 years
to the oilburning art. 1t is the one great
principle upon which the entire success of
automatic oil heating for homes is built.
1t makes the efficiency of Nokol entirely in
dependent of the efficiency of the heating
plant. 1t is this remarkable fact that has been
responsible for Nokol success and has con-
tinued to mark the difference between Nokol
and every other oil burner.
This combustion chamberi is responsible for
Nokol cleanliness and low fuel cost. 1t con-
centrates the flame and produces the tenn
perature necessary for complete combus>
ton in 80 seconds. 1t prevents the flame
from touching the boiler-Nokol acts en-
tirely by radiant heat. 1t tprevents the burn
ing out of boiler plates.
The patented system of burning oil in a
household boiler made possible by the Nokol
combustion chamber is as indispensable to
clean, economical oil burning as pneumatic
tires are to automobile riding comfort.
This combustion chamber and its application to
household boiler is exclusive with Nokol and may
be used by other oil burner except under license

sort to 1ow-grade fuels
by inefficient operation

Few subjects call for as frank speaking as the
of low>grade oils in home heating. For we believe
that every oil burner would burn good grade Of
distillate if it could afford to.
For distillate is standard product, dependable,
easy to secure, and will always be plentiful. Low

the application of hazardous pressure pumps on

rendering Nokol service. Every experienced oil
burner manufacturer, every experienced oil
burner user, every home-owner who appreciates
the difference between hard and soft coal knows
that the grade of oil suitable for home use is notthe
same as that commonly used to oil country roads,
Nokol makes and sells Old burners that burn the lowest
grade of oil fuel. But in the home The home is

come in to play with him and let
him be with them an hour or so
daily.
In the case OF the normal child
with delayed speech the delay is very
soon overcome. He learns very fast:
faster than the children who com
menced earlier. He will have as
strong a speech power as his mates
by his sixth birthday.
But when a child is well on in his
third year and still docs not talk
1t would be well to take him to the
speech specialist and have his vocal
equipment examined, He may DaVe
some obstruction which can be re-
moved and enable him to gain speech
power a bit sooner.
If this child Is left-handed have
him examined by the end of the sec
ond year. There is a subtle associa-
ton Of hand and speech that makes
us careful about left-handed chill
dren. We would not ask them to
write with their right hand lest We
disturb the speech function. Nor
would We be meticulous about their
articulation in the years when they
are finding their speech powers.
Suffering is sometimes brought on
these children by too much attention
to their lisping or to their use of
the left hand.
In teaching such children it is not
wise to modify speech in any way
with the idea of making it easier
for the child. 1t does not make it
easier for a child to say dog when
you make II "doddie," 1t is dog,
clearly, curtly, dog" And it won't
help him any to laugh at his baby
talk or his stammering or his splut-
tering. Keep your eyes away from
child who is trying to talk. Let
him feel you are listening and in no
hurry; that you do not put. much
stress on his speaking or his silence.
In other words, try not to let him
become self-conscious of his trouble.
Mr. Patri will give personal attention
to inquiries from parents or school teach
ers on the care and development Of chill

DELAYED Speech.

1t is never safe TO generaiize about
children. Usually child does thus
and so, but this one may be different
Wait and see A good deal OF child
training consists of watching and
waiting.
1t happens every now and then
that a child delays talking. The
usual child begins to talk somewhere
about the end of the first year. BY
the end of the second he has quite
vocabulary and can ask for what ne
wants and tell you that he likes or
doesn't like it. But there is occa-
sionally a child who does not do this.
The first year and the second year
passes and he makes no sign OF
speech beyond the first baby SOUNDS.
His parents are anxious and oegn 10
fear that he may be dumb.
If he is a normal, healthy, intell-
gent child there is little chance OF
that If he laughs in play. II ne talks
to himself in grooming syliables, IL ne
understands and carries out your
spoken suggestions. he Is pretty sure
to be all right. 1t may be that mis-
speech is delayed because there are
no other children close tc him. Chil-
dren learn more from other chitoren
than they ever do from their elders
The only child is likely to be slow
in starting speech. If 1t Is at all
possible have other children, even

BEAUTY CHATS
Hats and Heads.

We have chatted about hAir--noW
what about the hats that will cover
our heads and what we haven't cut
off in the way of hair, this new sea-
son? Before you buy your new hats,
study the shape of your head and the
shape of your face and decide what
sort of hat is going to suit you best
This seasons hats are as snug as
they can be. The brims are so mar
row or so tiny, so soft and SO folded
that they have little to do with the
shape of the hat; they merely give
that indefinite thing called Tine"
which makes from 81 to $40 differ
ence in the price. A shape which
came in during the Winter is being
carried on into Spring and Summer
hats, as it is SO universally becoming
II is the rounded felt brim turning
sharply back from the face and then
bent down on itself to give width to
the sides and a little depth as you
see the hat profile. This style Is
most becoming for good or slightly
irregular features, especially IL the
nose needs a little bringing out. A
hook-nosed woman or one with a
pug" must find little brim, though,
and avoid this style.
The small feits are very pretty,
and can be bought now and worn

ones that we find seasonal in Winter.
A skirt can now measure many yards
about the hem without giving real
bulkfness to the silhouette. With vel
vet or duvetyn it would be a different
matter.
With some of the renowned dress
makers this Spring the sheer, light
fabrics are used almost exclusively.
Even coats are made of chiffon. Agnes,
the French dressmaker who has the
reputation of dressing a number OF
queens, has chiffon coats that are
trimmed with lace, artificial flowers
and diamonds. Little chance here that
the mannish fashion will be carried
too far
Crepe imprime," which is simply
printed crepe de chine, is light and
feather weight, and is used by many
of the dressmakers in fine pleats,
Ruchings and lace ruffies have been
revived as part of the new vogue for
frilly things. Sometimes the ruchirg
is made of chiffon and sometimes of a
heavier material, such as taffeta on
the chiffon foundation.
Decidedly characteristic of the fash
ions of the moment is the use of navy
blue or black chiffon combined with
cream white or ecru lace for useful
little dinner or afternoon frocks.
These frocks can conceal considerable
fullness, appearing quite soft and
feminine without gaining the appear
ance of the slightest additional width.
With all the light fluffy materials
that are finding a way into the Spring
wardrobe there comes here and there

A wanderer in the woods these days

joyous recognition. Yes, the arbutus

March air, still cool and damp and
empty of other perfumes. But TO
trace the flower one must stoop, and
brushing aside the old brown, last
years leaves. search out the oval
leathery evergreen foliage Of the ar
butus. And there one may see the
rosy buds uplifting, turning to shell
pink as they expand in the faint
warmth close to the earth.
On street corners, nowadays, one
may also see arbutus, wedged in tight
little punches in a yender's basket.

The side of the question that interests the

the Republican campaign funds as the fact
that paving interests evidently contributed to
both funds.
1t is not unlawful for paving interests to
contribute, but it is unlawful for corporations
to contribute. The public is not interested in
whether paving interests contributed as indi-

Neither is the public interested in seeing
