Heating Plant Moderni7ation
In Summer Months Is Aduised

The Spring and Summer months
are the ideal time to put in a new
heating plant or to modernize the
existing equipment. the Plumbing
and Heating Industries Bureau points
out
The average home owner. however,
is inclined to wait until the heating
season begins before making i'm
provements. In order to induce home
owners to undertake necessary re-
pairs and Improvements during the
Spring and Summer special Sum-
mer finance plan has been announced
by leading heating contractors.
Under the terms of the plan home
owner can have a new heating plant
installed or an existing plant put in
order Immediately. but will not be
called upon for any payments or
finance changes until the heating sea-
son starts in the Fall.
The equipment will be installed in
accordance with the rates and terms
of the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, which are the lowest in the his
tory of the building industry.
All types of heating-hot water
steam. vapor and vacuum-are in
cluded in the plan. as well as various
types of boilers especially adapted to
coal. oil or gas.

Sound Mortgage Market
With Risk Reduction

suits in q real determination of risk
and goes far beyond merely placing a
valuation on q property.
Seen as Basic Element.
"As a consequence of the standard

In fact, this highly developed system

The use Of the system. according to

Wells Throw Light.

Owners Of large buildings with In
ner courts or "wells" are becoming
much interested in increasing the
amount of light that can be reflected
into the adjacent rooms by the use OF
light tinted paints. White. of course
reflects the greatest amount of light
but pale tins are pleasing to the eye
as well. Soft yellow imparts sun

glow. while a light tint OF green gives

Mulhearn swung on one high heel and his hand shot to an armpit. I've got the rings and I've got this tool" he shouted, and yanked .25 caliber revolver.
 stopped Right There
 That was when he stopped being a bad man. Mahoney slapped the gun out of his hand. Behind the counter the pawnbroker, Samuel Goldberg, fired another revolver into the air. Mulhearn swung to- ward him and Mahoney clipped him over an ear with the butt of his own gun. Goldberg rang bur glar alarm and two minutes later 30 policemen joined Mahoney. 'Even when l was in jail in Mon roe County. Washington, and in Flandrau and Madison. s. D., I never saw so many cops,' Null hearn lamented. He said he o5- tained the rings that caused his misfortune in a burglary in New York. He was booked for violation of the Sullivan gun law and felo- nious assault.
