GREAT ADVANCES
IN WATER HEATING
inconvenience of Old Methods
Give Way to Constant
Automatic Supply.

The advantages of most household
appliances over old methods of ac-
complishinS the results seems to be
clear in the mind of the home owner
Not so when the subject Of water
heating methods is under considera-
ton.
When the lady Of the house EN-
banks on q shopping tour intent on
purchasing a cleaning appliance she
is thoroughly aware of the different
methods and appliances for household
cleaning-from duStpan and brush TO
the latest in vacuum cleaners. She
knows the advantages and limita-
tons of each. Most OF all. Is she
aware OF the fact that the modern APP
phance does with efficiency and econ
omy what the Anticipated methods
cannot do.
That is not the case where water
heating methods are concerned. There
seems to be lacking a clear realization
that new developments in the appli-
ance for obtaining hot water for
household use have made great strides;
that the difference between Anticipated
and modern methods Is here as great
If not more SO than in the other fields
of household appliances.
Large Supply Ready.
AS a matter of fact the modern APP
pliance for producing hot water is a
sterling example of the wonderful re-
suits obtainable when inventive gen
ius is applied to household problems
and that this Is the case should be
brought home to, the consciousness of
the home owner.
One heater illustrates the final de-
oil ~, no ,,,1I
necessity-hot water. The device is
thoroughly automatic: 90, 80 or so
gallons of hot water are stored in
we'll insulated tank. When hot water
Is drawn at the faucets, cold water
from the main flows into the tank, re,
ducing the temperature of the mixture
below the set standard. Through a
thermostatic control the gas supply IL
Immediately increased. burning until
the contents of the tank have again
reached the normal hot water temper
allure. When this point is reached the
gas supply again is reduced auto.
matically.
The advantages Of such a device
are numerous. In the first place,
there is enough hot water on hand at
all times. Two, three or even four
faucets can be turned on at the same
time and hot water at a given temper
azure flows at full pressure. This is
very important. If 1t were not so. the
opening of q second faucet would i'm
mediately change the pressure or the
temperature of the water at the first
faucet.
Great Saving Effected.
Then again, great saving Is effected
by the automatic feature Of this de-
vice which turns off the gas just the
moment the proper temperature Is
reached. There is so little radiation
in heat due to the thorough insulation
of the tank that it can almost be called
negligible.
Because they are so troublesome,
the householder often feels that the
many old fashioned ways Of heating
water ranging from the teapot method
to coils installed in coal ranges, are
the most economical. The feeling is

Caused by Broken Faith

Broken faith on the part Of III"
Republican Chinese Government is
declared to be At the bottom OF the
present distressing situation.
Throughout the period Of the Re-,
public, the former Emperor has been
supposed to have received money
which has not materialized. At the
time when he was deprived Of his
title and his residence in the For.
hidden City. in the autumn Of 1928
a definite promise was made by the
governmont-an voiced bv c. T.
Wang. then Foreign Minister-that
S40,0cA Mex (about 100000 would
be paid the former Emperor month
". He got the money for Just one
month.
The treasure involved in the pres
ent negotiations is thought to hav"
been pledged during the period that
the Boy Emperor still had his title
and held court in the Forbidden
City. Upon his expulsion, all the
property in his former quarters
was placed under control Of a spc-
elal commission, ana lts disposition
has not vet been decided.
Already the former Empress has
accustomed herself TO the wearinr
of paste iewelry Soon she viii

Before long, it is rumored. Henry
and Elizabeth will sail from Tient
sin for the port Of Dairen, South
Manchuria-a Russian built city on
Chinese soil and leased for a prac-
tically indefinite period to japan.
Here, they hope, they can find Sc
ciusion and relief from the pes.
tering Of importunate hangcrs-on.
They viii be without their beau
tiful and precious things Of Ollcn
times, but Henry and Elizabeth like
the modern movies far more, it
is whispered. So perhaps they will
find greater happiness.

RARE TREASURE

TO satisfy his creditors, Mr.. Hen

So saws apparently authentic To-,
port. though il is elsewhere said that
the sale is not yet complete.
Soon there will te a secret re-
moval from Peking of this treasure
"A treasure now hidden from pre-
fame ewes in the vaults Of the Salt
Administration bank here. The late
possessions of the late Emperor will
leave the bank-which took them
as security for a S450,0o0 note-to
go to Japan as property Of the va
manaka guild.
From the depths of the bank
vault Will come. among other things,
sixteen solid gold bells with Z total
weight of 1850 ounces and value
simply rs melted-up metal-of
around 100000. Out, likewise,
will come intricately carved Jade of
the deepest and most precious hue
Jade wrought into cunning forms
for the heautious enrichment of inn
perial consorts and concubines.
Few know the full details OF this
Arabian treasure dream. Few have
seen AL that now lies quietly wait
ing for the arrival of the represen-
tativcs nf Japanese Guild.

officials; they inspected the impe-

Flagstaff has been decided upon
Good Roads Association for the
midsummer meeting which will be
held June 25th and 18th. The leg
islative committee of the associa-
ton has been working since the
January meeting on highway bill
September ballot. This bill was
approved by the Board of Directors
of the Association June 4th and
petitions are being circulated for
the required number of signatures.
This bill will be placed before the
membership of the Association at
the Flagstaff meeting and accord
ing to the sentiment at the annual
meeting at Yuma last year it will
receive almost unanimous support.
The Hassayampa Trail on the
west, the Fossil Greek Highway
up the center and the new Coro-
nado Trail on the east, all assure
good travelling for those coming
from the south to Flagstaff for the
meeting and Good Roads Assoc1a-
ton members usually travel by
auto to learn the road conditions
of all parts of the state.
Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce
sends a cordial invitation to all
good roads enthusiasts of the state
and Colonel Weatherford assured
the Yuma convention that his road
to the top of the world would be
open whence one could go up and
look into California, Mexico, New
Mexico or Colorado if the scenery
at Flagstaff proved tiresome. Make
your arrangements now to attend
the meetings and write the Secre-
tary of the Flagstaff Chamber of
Commerce to make hotel reserva-
tions for you.
