DEMEMBER few years back when auto
N matte refrigerators were coming into favor7
At that time nearly every home had an od-fash-
ioned icebox that was perfectly good. Good, that
is, for ice.
1t did seem a shame to throw away those ice
boxes. So thousands of home-owners decided to
save money by installing new automatic chilling
unit in the old box.
You know the result. The unit was all right and
the icebox was all right but they wouldn't work
we'll together. Sooner or later these home owners
had to buy complete refrigerator anyway-with
cabinet and mechanism designed and built to
work together.
Evening star., 1934-10-07

They were able to do this because they built
the boiler to conform with the burner and con-
trols-instead of the other way round. They de-

Makeshif Oil Heating

Exactly the same thing is happening today with
oil burners. Most homes have cast-iron boiler
that is perfectly good Good that is for coal. Nat
urally, it seems shame to throw away good
furnace. And so at first thought it seems eco
nomical to install an automatic 'oil burner" in
the old furnace. But the best burner in the world
is hopelessy handicapped in coal furnace. 1t
pays most people to forget the old boiler entirely
throw it away, even though it's still good for coal.
They are money ahead, and here is why.
Why an "oH burner" is
hopelessiy handicapped in a coal furnace
The old coalf boiler is usually made of cast
IRON 1t is skillfully designed for the slow, steady
heat of coal fire. 1t is not built to withstand
sudden and terrific temperature changes such as
yougetwth anoilhame tits apt to crack under the
strain. Joints are apt to leak. 1t can't absorb
and transmit the heat fast enough, and large
part of the heat is pushed up the chimney by the
forced draft of the oil burner.

Back to Fundamentals

Contrast this inefficient, expensive, short-lved
compromise with the General Electric way of
heating your home automatically with oil. The
G-E engineers worked on the problem for five
years. Very early in the quest they decided that
the attachment sticking an automatic oil
flame in the frebox of boiler intended for coal
was wrong and doomed to extinction just as surely
as were those early chilling units in the oldfash
ioned iceboxes.
In the G-E Oil Furnace these engineers finally
evolved complete, new automatic heating sys-
tenn for oil fuel, with burner steel boiler, water
heater and controls forming one coordinated unit,
embodying new and vitality different principles.

BUSINESS FOR NRA

A MEXICAN business, after one years eX-
L n perience. seems to prefer the so-called
RECOMMENDATION of NRA to the old dog-eat-dog
rules of competition so sacred to the traditions
of rugged individualism
Thirty of the nations business leaders,
meeting at Hot Springs, Va. decided that NRA
or something closely akin to it should be pre-
served permanently, and that business should
be more active IN its support of and more
helpful in Its advice to NRA.
Thus do the industrial captains recognize
that they have. more to gain in the long run
by recognizing the community of interests be-
tween capital, labor and the government. They
prefer not to return to the alternative of cap
itaI!stic anarchy with its destructive economic
warfare. They concede that the government
has a right to a voice in industrial relations
and planning.
But what the American people want to
know of these business leaders is: Does big
business intend to continue trying to skim of
for itself all of the cream Of NRA? The news
dispatches out of Hot Springs say nothing Of
any consideration being given by the confer
ence to the widespread violations of the col
lective bargaining section Of the MIRA law.
They say nothing of any concern over the
