HEAT AND COLD IN THE
GAS FIXTURES.

Experts in the business of sup
plying gas for domestic use are
predicting that the time will come
when America will be land of
"homes artificially cooled in the
summer and automatically heated
in the winter" through the burn
ing of gas. An engineer who is
specialist in gas refrigeration is
quoted as saying that "homes in a
few years will use gas as an ideal
cooling agent in summer as they
use 1t for heating medium dur
ing the winter months" He fore
sees the time when gas will be an
agency used 20 keep the tempera-
ture of homes at about sixty-eight
degrees the year around, recon-
mended by doctors and health Off
Gals"
1t is an attractive picture. Gas
heating of the home in its entire
ty as distinct from the heating
long done with the familiar gas
logs" and stoves, is already I'M
der way. The gas people report
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1926-06-22

that the latest figures show install
lations of gas-fired house heating
units at the rate of about 100000
a year.
AS to offsetting the heat of
summer it may be said there is
coming a happy day when build
ings will be artificially cooled. In
the meantime, the iceman has
been supplemented by electric le-
frigeration in the domestic econ
omy. The manufacture and sale
of electric refrigerators has be-
come an extensive business. There
is choice in the agencies for keep
ing cool the perisha BILE foods, and
supplying the arctic temperature
to the summer beverages, as there
is choice in fuels. There is pros
pect of further choice if, paradox
ical as it may seem, we are to
burn gas to bring the temperature
of the ice box down to frosty lev
ell, not to mention the burning of
gas for cooling the whole house.
The world moves, and it moves
constantly in the direction of
greater comfort for human kind in
civilized regions. The iceman has
long been a friend to his fellows
even if he is sometimes made the
butt of their jokes. The electri-
clan has added vastly to the joy
of life. The gas man belongs in
the same fellowship. More than
that, he is an example of the new
er-say-die spirit. Time was when
the introduction of electric light
ing was regarded as marking the
end of his business. He thereup-
on taught the American housewife
to cook with gas. Now there is
more and more cooking with cleo
tricity. But the gas man is on the
job. He calmly announces that lie
will supplement the "gas kitchen"
with the "gas cellar and keep
the house warm in winter and
cool in summer. Good luck to
him.

The bankers and merchants OF
the small towns and cities of the
country, who have started CAM
paigns to counter the local effects
of the Florida real estate market
will find that the boom in the
Southland will rebound to the
benefit of the North, says Howard
w. Scott, real estate auctiOneer,
who has been active in Florida Tor
several months. He maintains
that the Florida market has forced
residents of every section OF the
country to make comparisons with
the result that many booms have
been Matched.
Develop Popularity of Realty.
1.-THE Florida boom has had the
greatest effect imaginable in edu-
eating the people of the United
States as to the value of land
ownership" Scott said. Millions
of dollars were made by the own
ers of Florida property who pre-
viously to this great activity had
no appreciation whatsoever as to
the value of land ownership. They
merely regarded real estate as a
source of investment whereby
they could purchase mortgages
for their stipulated interest and
were contented to let the original
owner reap all the profits on the
enhancement of his real estate.
'In Florida, however, they saw
values rise from $25 front foot
to as high as $4,000, all within the
incredible period of a few years.
Quite naturally they were inter-
ested in making money, but the
majority who came from the larg-
er cities, like New York, Cleve-
land, Chicago, Detroit, etc., began
to appreciate how cheap their own
hometown values were in compar-
ison. A lot of these people are
now rushing home to place their
money in substantial cities, all
year communities, where people
work and earn livings regardless
of climatic conditions. The re-
suit is tremendous boom
throughout the entire United
States, where real estate values
lin many cases are ridiculous
ly low. They also have learned
to appreciate the fact that every
large fortune can be traced di-
rectly to real estate ownership
and they are not contented now
with merely placing their money
on mortgages, but want to partic-
ipate in the actual enhancement.
Home Town Looks Much Better.
"At a recent auction sale in
Norfolk, Va, one man made a
speciality of buying all corners.
After the sale | asked his reason.
He said he had lived in Norfolk
for thirty-five years, but was new
er convinced that Norfolk was a
good place for real estate invest
,m~nts until after he invested in
Florida lands and in about two
years returned with over $250,000
profit. He then stated that his
experience had taught him that
Norfolk, with it's wonderful har-
Dor, it's industries, it's coal ship
