R|VETS MAKE STEEL FURNACE GAS.TIGHT
Lennox Torrid Zone Has Rev.
 olutionized Warm Air Heat ing in Thousands of Homes

The manufacturers of this un- usual warm air furnace have taken a lesson from the builders of loco motive boilers, tank cars and sub marines. The Lennox Torrid Zone is made of boiler-plate steel. It is hot-riveted and cold-calked for safety and permanence. No gas, dust or smoke can escape into the rooms of your home.
 But safety and cleanliness are not the only improvements the Torrid Zone brings. It furnishes the vital humidity lacking in so many homes during the heating season. The Torrid Zone humidifier has twice the evaporating area of ordinary water pans right inside the casing and is over the firing doors for rapid evaporation. It can eliminate in your home that kiln- dried atmosphere which causes sore throats and colds and makes furni- .ture crack and loosen at the joints. Burn your favorite fuel in the Lennox Torrid Zone-hard or soft coal, coke, Ignite, wood, gas or oil and save money. Plans and estimates quickly furnished for all types of buildings. Factory engi- neering service for special prob lems. Made by the Lennox Furnace Company, Syracuse, N. Y.-Mar- shalltown. Iowa-Toronto. Canada. Thomas r.

STATE LINE ENDS
 BIGAMY CHARGE
Law Comes to Aid Of Callahan
 in Love Affair

Intricacies of the law, both in Massachusetts and Connecticut, made it impossible for Robert J. Caffahan, 26, of this city to be charged with bigamy, although he has two wives living. This situation was brought to light when Callahan came up for q hearing on a charge of descrting his wife and child in Springfield. .....
 It develops that under the Massa- chusetts law. evidence that Callahan lived with Miss Dorothy Percau Of this city in Massachusetts is re- auircd. This was not proven and the Massachusetts authorities could not bring bigamy charges against him. Likewise it is impossible for inc Connecticut authorities to hold him on a bigamy charge because New Britain police have no evidence that wife No. 1 lived with him in Connecticut. Thus a man with two wives, each in different states, can- not be tried on q bigamy complaint.
 Today it was learned that her great love for Callahan will encour- age Miss Pereau to wait until he is able 10 become separated legally from his first wife. She and Calla- han are living in this city now but not together. They will continue in this way until such time as a divorce IS granted. They were married in Bangor. Mo, on March 2S last
 Steps have been taken to get the divorce. Callahan has engaged At torney John O'Connor of Chicopeo Falls, Mass, to bring divorce pro- ccedings. He charges misconduct. Ir police court in Springfield after the bigamy charges were dropped he was charged with non-support, but he proved to the satisfaction of officials that only one of tho children was bis. Another was born more than I year after he deserted his wife ir November of 1927, it was claimed He was ordered to pay SC q week for the support of this child, a four year old boy. In his divorce suit he will ask for the custody of this boy he said.
