Home owners contemplating the
installation Of automatic oil heat are
very often completely bewildered by
the numerous conflicting statements
made by statesmen and engineers con-
corning their various burners.
In fact it is extremely difficult for
persons without any previous know
ledge of heating or oil burner equip
ment to make an intelligent selection
after hearing the sales talks Of sew
eral different oil burner represent
atives. The relative merits Of the
various burners are apt to become
somewhat obscure in the clouds of
salesmanship. leaving the home
owner houndering III a sea Of varying
ideas and opinions.
Therefore, in order to clarity the
automatic heating problem to some
extent this column Is presenting brief
descriptions Of the various types Of
equipment. Armed with information
concerning the different devices avail
able the home modernizer can perhaps
make q more intelligent choice.
Last week the salient feature oi
the heat vaporizing, or retort type, oi
burner were considered, and num-
Der of readers asked II this type OF
burner would work satisfactorily in
an old hot air furnace. This type
Of burner Is well adapted for use in
q hot air furnace due to its peculiar
flame characteristics. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that the in
stallation Of an oil burner will not
act as cure-all for heating ills.
Extreme care should be exercised In
checking over the heater, resealing

Buyers Of homes IN Greater WASH
ington these days obtain more for
their money than they ever have been
able to at any time in the past, In the
opinion Of ]. Wesley Buchanan. vet
eran Washington realtor.
"The era Of subnormal real estate
activity Just passed." says Mr.. Bu-
chanan, has been productive Of
amazing developments in the field Of
home construction. The buyers Of
homes today obtain the latest in time
saving. step-saving and money-saving
equipment that manufacturers have
spent years perfecting. Building ma
terials and home designs have been
experimental with, and engineers and
artists have collaborated on dwelling
plans and construction that far sur
pass anything before offered the dis
eliminating home purchaser. And the
cost Of these homes is no greater than
the best homes decade ago.
A Buyers Market.
"This condition is readily under
standable," continues Mr.. Buchanan,
when 1t Is considered that during
any period Of economic stress, manu-
facturers in every field work feverish1y
to develop better products, more read
lily marketable. In their eagerness TO
obtain q share Of the smaller volume
Of business to be had. Since 1929,
manufacturers have been going
through . period Of scientific expert
mentation, evolving plans for better
and still better home equipment and
building materials, and still Offering
them at no greater cost. Washing
ton builders have ava!led themselves
Of these innovations In their new
homes"
Pointing out that although WASH
ington "a enjoying q volume Of home
building greater than auy in the past
several years, Mr.. Buchanan hastened
to emphasize that building costs still
remain far below the so-called normal
year Of 1926. The latest building in
dex gives the building materials cost
level as "a as compared with the 1926
standard Of 100.

Important factors In the revival Of
building here, the realtor said, are the
"undoubling" of families and the in
crease Of the marriage rate.
In an effort to reduce living costs" "
Mr.. Buchanan said. many families
doubled up under the same roof dur
ing the depression period. Likewise,
many young people contemplating
matrimony were won't to postpone
plans until conditions improved.
Now, with employment gaining, IL
comes increasing and conditions gen
orally getting better. the thought is
toward one family to a home, thus
alleviating the 'doubling-up' situa-
ton"
As evidence that he Is fully quail.

make it impossible for any one to be

door which contains two servants
rooms, bath, and q storage space.
A feature Of the Silver Star Home
which has appealed to the thousands
Of visitors Is the library, which is set
apart from the rest Of the house to
provide peace and quiet needed for
reading and study. This room Is ex-
ceedingly large and has an attractive
fireplace at one end.
The Star home was designed and
built by w. c. and A. N. Miller, de-
velopers Of the Wesley Heights-Spring
Valley section. The house contains
structural features such as a concrete
first floor, that are seldom found in
houses built in the Capital today.
Visiting decorators and many other
persons who have seen the house
pronounce it one of the best fur
nished model homes even seen in
this section. 1t was furnished by the
Biggs Antique Co., 1877 Connecticut
avenue, entirely with antiques and
reproductions Of classical pieces.
Draperies and wall covering were de-
signed by the Wesley Heights Shops,
while the firm of Neshan G. Hintlian,
1347 Connecticut avenue, supplied
the Oriental rugs and carpets.
The rug In the living room is
large Bijar Of the finer type made
shout 40 years ago. It has rich COL
ors which harmonic we'll with the
furnishings and drapes. The Herman
rug In the dining room was selected
for its daintiness, while the Bokharas
In the library were chosen to give
the room a masculine atmosphere.
The home will be open to the
public for two weeks more. Visitors
will be welcomed each day between
10 am. and 9 pm. The best route
to the home Is by way of Massachu-
sets avenue, across Nebraska ave-
nue. to Upton street, thence left on
Upton to Fordham road and left
again to Quebec street. There are
ample signs leading to the house
from the intersection Of Quebec
street and Fordham road.
