Don't kick out your present coal fired
furnace until we have a chance to survey
it and tell you what we can do with it!!

TO clear up the confusion in the minds Of some
L home owners, due to competitive statements
oout automatic oil heating equipment and comper-
i've fuel costs, let us review the four main situa
onS which present themselves to the home owner
no desires automatic oil heat instead of coal
red furnace.
Where his present eoaI-fired furnace Is
10 entirely worn out, he can solve his problem
economically and efficiently by removing the
worn out" furnace and installing and
complete Oil Furnace, originally designed and
built for burning oil and oil only.
D Where home owner Is building new home,
.' a new and complete oil furnace should likewise
be installed.
q Where home owner has good coal furnace,
We there is absolutely no reason for discarding it.
He has definite investment and regardless of
what manufacturers who make oil furnaces
exclusively say, it can be economically con-
verted to the approximate efficiency of a COM
plete Oil Furnace
This cannot be done, however, by the addi-
tion of just an oil burner, but it can positively
be done by the installation of the QUIET MAY
Oil Heating System, composed of (D the
famous QUIET MAY Oil Burner plus (2) the
QUIET MAY Patented Ther-MAY-Lator plus

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge went on the

A Where home owner has an inefficient or
under-capaeity eoa-furnaee. In studying
and converting over 10000 coal-fired furnaces
to oil burning, we have found that hundreds
of "So-called" inefficient or "under-capacity"
coal furnaces that could not possibly be con-
verted satisfactorily by any oil burner, regard
less of kind, size or make, have been converted
into highly efficient oil heating furnaces by
installing the QUIET MAY Oil Heating Sys-
TEN: Q) QUIET MAY Oil Burner, ~ Their
MAY-Lator, (3) Inserts
Remember - only complete "0Il Heating Sys-
tenn" can give complete satisfaction. Just an oil
burner can't QUIET MAY and QUIET MAY only can
give you a complete Oil Heating System in your
present coal-fred boiler because only QUIET MAY
can give you its patented Ther-MAY-Lator and its
patented Econ-O-MAY Inserts. These exclusive fea-
lures will show fuel saving of anywhere from
16-2/39o to 40qo over any competitive equipment
that can be installed in coal-fred furnace
The new QUIET MAY Oil Furnace providing
comfort heat and 180 gallons of tankess domestic
hot water per hour operates at cost of few cents
per room per day.
The QUIET MAY Oil Heating System will operate
at less cost than with coal and from 16-2/336 to
409o less cost than with mere oil burner.
You can have automatic heat and domestic hot
water for very few cents per room per day. Why
nav more?

TECHNICALITY STOPS
SUPREME COURT AID
Highest Tribunal Refuses to Pass
on Darby Note Judgment
of District Court.

The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday refused to pass on
a decision of the District Supreme
Court sustaining Judgment against
Mrs. Bessie D. Darby on note for
Sl2,324 because Of technicality which
a majority of the judges of the Court
of Appeals held prevented them from
doing justice by reversing the lower
court.
The note was placed in the Mont
gomery County National Bank Of
Rockville, Md, by Mrs. Darby's hus-
band, who was an assistant cashier
In the bank, and is now serving a
sentence on his plea of guilty to being
short in his accounts.
The bank brought suit against Mrs.
Darby, and Darby, who also had
signed the note, declined to testify
concerning the purported signature
of his wife on the ground that it
might tend to incriminate him.
The Court of Appeals unanimously
held that the evidence disclosed a
failure to prove the wifes signature
was not a forgery, but three of the
five judges held themselves powerlesS
to set the Judgment for the bank
aside because Mrs. Darby's lawyer
during the trial had failed to take
proper exceptions. Two of the judges
held that the fact that he had ap-
pealed cured this omission.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., october
"a warning that the freedom OF the
press was endangered by the wide
spread use of information bureaus
by the Roosevelt administrator was
sounded before New Jersey publishers
Yesterday by Elisha Hanson, wash
ington representative of The American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Speaking at the annual newspaper
institute of the New Jersey Press AS

is greater and more effective tnan
any similar agency"
Every bureau in every department
of the Government today has its in

"the sole reason for the existence OF

Newspaper representatives, he SAID,

Attacked by OnCIdis'
Hanson said there had been much
comment regarding the freedom OF
the press during the last Is months
and during the same period you have
been attacked and abused by lndlVlo-
uals who. for the moment hold hlgh
public office in Washington"
First. it was Gen. johnson and
then it was Mr.. Richberg," he said,
"who were making frontal attacks on
newspapers. More recently it has
been Postmaster General Farley.
Others have joined in from time to
time. If there has been anything
from this administration laudatory
to the press 1 have failed tc observe 1T.
Role of Congress.
"One of the most important prob
lens facing you," Hanson concluded,
'is to persuade Congress again to
assume its proper place in the sphere
of our governmental concept. 1t is
a matter of historical fact that
throughout our life as a Nation there
has been almost continual competl-
ton between Congress and the White
House for the peoples favor and ap-

either the legislative or executive
branch becomes so weak 1t consist

Other speakers were James H.

of the Press Radio Bureau, and Paul

T<HAT is the trouble with tricks.
In time they are sure to be
found out. At best they are
Il uncertain. Reddy Fox had
cleverly tricked Bowser the
Hound into leaving his breakfast to
chase him, and when he returned it
was to find an empty pan. His break
fast had disappeared. Mrs. Reddy
had eaten that breakfast. She had
needed it. Yes, indeed, she had needed
1t much more than Bowser had. 1t
was the first really good meal she had
had for days and days.
On his way home, after getting rid
of Bowser by one of the clever tricks
he knows so well how to play, Reddy
had been lucky enough to catch a
rabbit. So when he joined Mrs.
Reddy at their home in the Old Pas
ture he was in fine spirits.
We'll, my dear, did you get that
breakfast?" he demanded. Then,
seeing the look Of contentment on her
sharp face, he added before she could
reply: You didl You don't have to
tell me. Didn't tell you that trick
would work?"
1T worked all right" agreed Mrs.
Reddy, but there wasn't a thing I
could bring home to you"
Don't let that worry you; caught
a rabbit" replied Reddy promptly

was standing out there. Later, before
Bowser had returned, I discovered
that the breakfast had put out for

said Mother Brown.
Probably rats. They are getting
to be nuisance again." said Farmer
Brown.
Nothing more was said, but the next
morning, after putting his breakfast
out for Bowser, his master watched
from a window. Nothing happened.
Bowser ate his breakfast in peace. 1t
was just so the following morning.
But on the third morning Farmer
Browns Boy was hardly inside the
house when he heard Bowser's deep
voice and, rushing to the window, he
was just in time to see Reddy Fox
running through the Old Orchard
with Bowser after him.
He was still standing by the win
dow when, happening to glance to-
ward the barn, he saw a sharp nose
appear from around the corner Of the
barn. For perhaps full minute that
was all he saw. Then Mrs. Reddy
ran swiftly across to the pan Of food
and began to gulp down BowserS
breakfast. 1t didn't take her long,
just few minutes. Then she dis
appeared behind the barn. All the
time Farmer Browns Boy could hear
Bowser's voice gradually growing
fainter in the distance. He began 10
chuckle.

triumphantly.

leads Bowser away while the other
steals his breakfast. Now, what do

TT HAS been said that not every
one can make a chowder, but 1t
is true that at least every one can
i learn to make one, and with lit
tie difficulty, for it is an easy
dish to prepare.
There is really no set rule for max
ing a chowder. Each cook usually
has her favorite recipe, which she will
insist is superior to all others. She
also has her ideas as to whether the
vegetables shall be chopped very
small, cut into dice, or prepared in
large slices; as to whether the chow
der shall be thin or thick, and
whether it shall be served with or
without crackers. In the following
recipes the vegetables are sliced and
the meat or fish is cut in fairly large
pieces, but the ingredients may be
diced or chopped if that is the method
preferred.
Fresh-fish Chowder.-When prepar-
ing a fish chowder, first remove the
fish from the bones and cut it in
small chunks, then cover the bones
and skin with cold water, let them
come to q boil and simmer for half
an hour. For this recipe you will
need three pounds of fish. Dice one
fourth pound of salt pork or bacon
and try it out. Add two onions cut in
slices and cook them for a few min
utes. Add one quart of diced white
potatoes, one tablespoonful of chop
ped parsley, half a bay leaf and some
salt and pepper. Strain the water in
which the fish has simmered and pour
the liquid over the mixture. Cook
for 10 minutes, then add the fish and
cook it until it is tender. Add three
cupfuls of Scalded milk, thickened
with one-fourth cupful of butter and
a little flour if liked and serve with
or without crackers. Any kind of
meat may be used in place of fish in
making this chowder.
Chicken Chowder--Clean a chicken
and cut it up as for fricassee. Put
1t In a pot, add two slices of bacon,
two onions sliced, one pint of to-
matoes, either can Of tomato soup
or six small tomatoes peeled and
sliced, and two quarts of hot water.
Add three teaSpoonfuls of salt, half a
teaspoonful of pepper and hah bay
leaf, Simmer until the chicken is
tender. Take it from the pot and re-
move the bones and gristle. Cut the
chicken in small pieces and return it
to the pot. Cut the kernels of the
corn from four ears, scrape it, add
the corn and the scrapings and cook
for 20 minutes longer. Remove the
slices of bacon, cream half a cupful
Of butter with two tablespoonfuls of
-four, moisten it with little of the
gravy and add it to the choWder, mix
ing it well with the rest of the gravy.
Let it boil up once. then serve. This
recipe may be varied by substituting
one-half cupful of bread crumbs for
the -four if desired. All choWderS
provide an excellent means Of adding
vegetables to the diet.
Canned Soups.
One of the easiest methods Of
changing the flavor of a soup is to
add diced vegetables delicately sauted
in fat. Melt tablespoonful Of butter
in a saucepan and add two table
spoonfuls each Of finely diced onion
and celery. Simmer, with an oc-
casional stirring, until tender, add a
can of tomato soup and one cupful
of water; cook, stirring occasionally,
until the mixture begins to boil. The
soup is then ready to serve. Milk
may be used instead of water-in
fact. canned soups are an excellent
medium for adding milk to the diet

time Mrs. Reddy led Bowser of, and
Reddy got the breakfast. It worked
as smoothly and easily as before. A
third time they tried 1t, and a third
time 1t was successful. But by this
time Farmer Browns Boy had begun
to be suspicious.
