 She said Smith was . Tammany politician. first and last. and if elected Tammany would play q large part in his administration.
 "Of course Tammany's governor may be equal to the task of reform ing Tammany. but I want to say above a whisper that l doubt it, Mrs. Willebrandt said.
 While Smith believes prohibi- ton is unenforceable, the country knows Hoover. who regulated food during the war. is capable of en- forcing laws,
 Smith is ready to lower the im- migration bars on 100000 aliens now awaiting entry into America. Republican restriction may seem selfish but it h really merely self protection" Mrs. Willebrandt said.
 Thousands of democrats are vot ing republican this year because they realize Smiths tarin platform would end prosperity.

PETRO is THE OLDEST low
pressure oil burner. For Is years its
development has been my chief aim
in life. Now its outstanding superior
ity for heating large buildings is COM
monty acknowledged. Its success led
us to design smaller unit for homes.
FIVE YEARS AGO the first resi-
dence PETRO was installed in the
home of Cyrus Field Judson. Altho
we considered it better than the best
oil burner then being sold, no public
mention of it was made. Our engi-
'neers insisted upon more history. For
four years complete records Of each
installation were carefully kept.
YOU WILL LEARN what we
have learned. That once Petro goes
in, it stays in, with overwhelming
satisfaction.
YOU WILL SEE how oil heating
has been simplifed by PETRO engi>
neers. By making air do the work Of
expensive gears, belts and shafts, they
have achieved astounding results.
Not only does air do it better, more
efficiently, more quietly, but air costs
nothing and never wears out!
WITH PETRO, the entire range
Of residence oils is available to you.
Heavy or light. Thick or thin. But
most important are the savings that
come to you from the use Of Fuel Oil:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-09-17

This lowpriced fuel gives you the most
heat for the least cost. PETRO is SO
efficient that its cost Of heating is COM
monlv less than the cost of hard coal.
NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN
ABLE to anticipate the advantages
of PETRO Oil Heat. Nor can any.
one describe it to you. You cannot
experience it in anyone's else home.
So your PETRO dealer gives you
this assurance. If PETRO fails to.
heat your house satisfactorily, he will
remove it and refund your money.
This generous offer is not based on
generosity. But on years perfect
record resulting from Is years re.
search and success in oil heating. If
we were not positive of your complete
satisfaction, we would not continue day
longer in the oil burner business.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-09-17

AS AN ENGINEERING CON.
Germ, it is our purpose to build the
finest oil heating equipment in the
world. Our aim is not cheap burn
err, but oil heat SO efficient that its
cost of operation will permit even the
most modest family to enjoy it. That
is what we offer you today.

The Origin of
Roosevelt County

After several attempts to divide
old Sheridan county, the 10th
legislative ASSEMBLY,. Feb. IS, 1919,
set apart the southern half and
named it Roosevelt county in
honor of the great statesman,
whose death had occurred a few
weeks before.
The county is bounded on the
east by North Dakota and on the
south by the Missouri rvier. 1t is
50 miles long, east and west, with
a width ranging from is to 3S
miles.
Within a stones throw of the
eastern border is the site of old
Fort Union, built by Kenneth Nc
Kenzie for the American Fur com
pany in the summer of 1929. The
fort burned down in 1881, but was
Immediately rebuilt, larger and
more substantial, and stood until
1868 when it was torn down by
OTutI Vi lAC COH4lidlulHS OLAASSA
of the military post a few miles
down the river. Many interesting
relics have been unearthed on the
site of this old fort.
The county seat of Roosevelt
has travelled considerably for a
county so young. Mondak, now
Fort Union, was named temper
airy county seat in the creative
act. The election OF 1920 moved
it to Poplar, on the river near the
center of the county, and the cleo
ton Of 1922 shifted it still farther
along, to Wolf Point, in the wes-
tern part.
Roosevelt's population was TO-
347 in 1920. The estimated popu-
lation in 1926 was 1920.

TIME TO PUT
EN- ON
BY Hannah Wing

THIS winter you viii find the
i modern blanket - light in
weight fluffy, and In every. way
made for warmth and comfort
with beauty Of color az an added
luxury.
The first thing to consider in
buying blanket is size. The vari.
atoms in widths and lengths are
apt to be confusing, so remember
that most beds come in standard
sizes: Single, twin, three.quarter
and full. Be sure to give some
consideration, too, to the amount
of hangover or ttuck.in" which
you need.
For example, beds with box
springs require 4 little more al.
lowance. These dimensions are
the most satisfactory: For single
or twin bed, 60x80 or 60x84 Is an
excellent size; for the double bed,
TAXA or 72x90; this added length
being provided for those who like
a blanket to come well up over
the shoulder. For the tIree.quRr-
ter bed. 6sxSO Or 6Gx84 should be
ample.
The duality Of the blanket ia
the next consideration. Lighthess
of weight is one of the first re-
quisites OF a good blanket. Next,
1t should be OF Close weave and
tiickIy mapped. In fact, the
thicker the nap, the warmer the
blanket, az the heat.rstaining
qualities of textile materials de.
pend largely on the still air en-.
meshed within their structure.
IL Il blanket Is made OF long.
fibre WOOL the nap will be firm
and will not break off easily or
wear away.
The blankets we find in the
shops today are 30 harmonious in
color and design that they have
beauty value as well as comfort.
Literally pillows OF color In soft,
subdued tones OF rose, blue, peach.
and orchid appear in the piles of
blankets awaiting YOU. and it will
be surprising indeed II you can
not find 4 color TO fit In with your
color scheme. TO obtain these

with washing and with sunlight.
