Oil Heat Popularized By
"Heatless Monday"

most burdenSome tasks; for the
average furnace man is in nine
tenths of the cases-a woman.
While it may have been a
"Heatless Monday" that focused
attention on the oil burner, it
was really out of the limita-
tions of traditional heating
methods, out of the universal
dislike for drudgery and dirt,
that automatic oil heating was
developed. Effortless, clean. uni
form, heat as flexible as the
slightest change of the weather,
oil heating has taken a promi-
nent place among the more re-
cent advances of progress that
have supplanted routine cares
with new opportunities, new times
and new energy for living. With
oil heat, a small. unobtrusive
thermostat becomes the furnace
man.
There is still another aspect to
the situation from the hometown
er's standpoint, or for that mat
ter, from the standpoints of the
speculative builder and landlord,
for the values represented in the
installation of automatic oil heat
ing have a direct bearing on the
marketability of private homes.

HOME. BUILT BY.
{. H. SMALL

An exhibit home has been
opened in the group of new homes
recently completed by c. H. Small,
wellknown builder, at 4424 Four
teenth st. N. E., in Michigan
Manor.
Michigan Manor is one of the
most attractive of Washington's
newer home communities. and is
being carefully restricted and
built up with substantially built
brick homes of pleasing architec-
ture. Wide streets and uniform
setback provides deep lawns, max
ing an attractive approach to the
handsome homes which have been
built here. People who appreciate
pleasing surroundings, pure air
and attractively designed homes
have been quick to respond to the
lure of Michigan Manor. until it
has become large community of
substantial home owners.
The new homes completed by
the C. H. Small organization, and
placed on the market through the
agency of Bethel & Horning, Inc.
are of exceptional design and con-
struction, and contain all of the re-
finements for which the builder is
noted. They contain six pleasing.
ly proportioned rooms and two.
handsomely fitted up bathrooms,
while in the basement is located
really clever basement recrea-
ton room. The kitchens of these
homes contain all the step saving,
labor saving devices of the most
modern kitchens, and the many
other innovations provided in these
homes are bound to make them
the most popular of the many
homes placed on the market by
this well-known builder.
The Washington times., 1932-12-03

General public attention was
first drawn to the use of oil as
the ideal heating fuel for homes
on a wartime "Heatless Monday" :"
Since that time a new industry
has reached maturity until it now
does an annual retail turnover in
household installations alone Of
approximately $1OO,000,000.
The formation of the American
Oil Burner Association by group
of manufacturers IN 1928 really
marked the beginnings of the oil
burner industry which in the
space of IL years has made a pro
found change in the home living
standards of the country-So
much so that the successes of the
pioneers in automatic heating
have now drawn into the field
such large industrials as General
Electric and General Motors.
With these additions to the first
line companies whose chief pro-
duct has always been oil burners,
the home-owner has the assurance
that he is buying tested product
backed by the resources of big
business. Those who have been
in the field since the inception of
the business have achieved close
to a measure of perfection for
their product which now operates
with less attention than the ordi-
nary pocket watch.
Like many other devices de-
signed to give women freedom
from drudgery such as the
vacuum cleaner, dish washer,
washing machine, aut toma t C
range and refrigerator, the oil
burner strikes directly at the
heart of one of the housekeeper's

PUBLISH NEW
ANNALS
United States Building and
Loan League Issues an
Interesting Book

Grounds for the belief that all
future Government leaders IN
America will interest themselves
in the small saver and the home
owner are set forth in the 1882
Building and Loan Annals.
The Annals, published by the
United States Building and Loan
League, contains papers by emf
nent statesmen, economists, real
tors, building and loan leaders,
and all members of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board.
Morton Bodfish, member of
the Federal Board, in one of the
chapters dealing with the major
legislation enacted in behalf of
the home owners, the Federal
Home Loan Bank System, calls
attention to the emphasis which
President Hoover placed on home
owners and savers for the first
time in the history of the coun-
try. and predicted that such con-
Germ will continue as part of the
program of Government leaders.
Has Statute Text
The Annals pictures the finan-
cial background. credit practices
and legislative influences which
have brought the home owner
into such prominence this year.
More than 200 pages OF, the new
book are devoted to the Home
Loan Banks.
Besides papers by the board
members, the full text of the
statute is published, the full re.
port of the House Banking and
Currency Committee on the meas
ure, actresses by the sponsors
of the bill, Senator James E.
Watson, and Representative Mich
ael K. Reilly, and comments by
a leading realtor, and building
and loan executive.
A key to the real basis for the
home-owner's lack of credit is
seen in the chapter written By
Chairman Franklin w. Fort, Of
the Federal Board, in which he
describes the dearth of home fl
nance money in some sections ano
its concentration in others.

cooperate with the national COM
mittee and to take such action as
may be found best in regard to
their own local situations.

RASKOB PROPOSAL
Drys Hold Purpose Is to
Amend Constitution by Pro-
viding for "Home Rule"
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Wet and dry Democrats today were
mulling over Chairman John J. Ras-
kob's proposed solution for the prohi-
bition wrangle, which has been going
on for years within the Democratic
party.
Dry Democrats welcomed Mr. Ras-
kobs statement that he believed prohi-
bition is a social question and should
be taken out of politics. But they
commended that this was mere lip serv-
Ice in the cause of prohibition and that
Mr.. Raskob's real purpose was to amend
the eighteenth amendment by provid-
ing for his home rule" plan.
They had before them today letter
to members of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, made. public by Mr.
Raskob, which recommended a ref
erendum plank in the party'S national
platform as a solution of the con-
troversy over prohibition.
Amendment to Constitution.
This referendum, however, as Mr..
RaSkob explained in an interview with
representatives of the press, amounts
to no more nor less than the submission
of his home rule" plan as an amend
ment to the Constitution. Mr.. Raskob
contends that his home rule" plan
would leave the eighteenth amendment
in effect, but would make it possible for
those States in which wet sentiment
prevails to legalize liquor traffic
Dry Democrats were unable to, see
today just how Mr.. Raskob would take
prohibition out of party politics by
placing such plank in the party plat
form.
Senator Dill of Washington, who was
elected as dry, insisted today that
prohibition is not properly party ques-
ton; that it was put into the Consti-
tuition without party action. Senator
Dill said he was in favor of working
out a plank for the platform which
would promise the people an oppor-
tunity to express themselves on prohi-
bition and other matters.
But he added that it was distinctly
undemocratic to attempt to tie up
Democratic members of Congress to
vote for the submission of the Raskob
home rule" plan. He said that men,
berS of Congress owed duty to their
constituents which they might not be
able to perform if bound by such a
pledge.

The RaSkob home rule" referendum
plan would pledge Democratic mem
bers OF Congress to vote for the SUBJ

1t was indicated in highly authorita-

statement of American policy toward
the Far East may be made shortly by
Secretary of State Stimson.
The discussions between the Secretary
and the French and British Ambas-
sailors regarding further joint action in
the Far Eastern situation were linked
by officials in predicting a statement
on the general situation.
Secretary Stimson declined to COM
nent on the visit of the Ambassadors.
The State Department has received
official dispatches indicating a Japan
csc campaign beyond Chinchow toward
China proper. and such action is looked
upon with concern.
In discussing the incident at Mukden
Secretary Stimson said he considered
the Japanese expression of regrets to
be tantamount to an apology by Japan
for the attack by three japanese on
American Consul Culver B. Chamber
lain.
How definite or severe further joint
action by America, Great Britain and
France in the Far Eastern situation
would be was not indicated.
