from President Manuel Luis Quezon of
the Philippines in exchange for a one

President Quezon sent his picture
with an affectionate dedication after
he had received dagger, which he
had been wanting for years. The dag

since Quezon, an officer in Gen. Emilio
Aguinaldo's army, surrendered to
United States authorities SO years ago.
Last Summer President Quezon
asked Gen. John w. Gulick, U. S. A.,
who was then stationed in the Philip

the dagger he wore as major during
the Philippine insurrection against the
United States. Gen. Gulick traced the
dagger to Col. Miller, who said he
would be glad to return 1t.

One day late in 1900 word came to

It's pretty difficult to be sure about
buying the right kind of automatic oil
or gas heat. In fact, about the only
way to be sure that the heating equip
ment you buy will keep your house
comfortably warm at all times and yet
not cost too much, is to actually try it.
That. in effect, is exactly what the
Shull Heating Corp. gives you an op-
portunity to do when they sell you a
McIlvaine "Constant Flame" Oil
Burner with an unconditional money
back guarantee. This guarantee al
lows you to try McIlvaine in your
home for three months and at the end
of that time if you are not satisfied
with it in every way, you can have it
taken out and get your money back.
The Shull Heating Corp. has been
selling McIlvaine Oil Burners on this
basis for six years and not one has
ever been removed from it's owners
home because of dissatisfaction The
reason is that McIlvaine operates on
an exclusive, patented principal that
cuts the cost of oil heating from 1870
to $50 and yet heats your house far
better.
All other oil burners operate on the
"On and Off" principle. This means
that they are either "all on or "all
Off" They heat your house up and let
1t cool of, heat it up and let it cool
off, thousands of times year. There

is always lag between the time they
pop "on" and the time that the radia-
tors are heated up again and the
house made warm The ION and OH"
burners land this includes gas, too)
are apt to cause fuctuating tempera-
lures, chilly floors, and "Cold TO-" Ask
your friends who have them and
they'll tell you it's so.
But the McIlvaine has four flame
sizes instead of only one. A tiny
flame for mild weather but the colder
the weather the larger the flame. Be-
cause the McIlvaine burns constantly
with a modulated throttle flame" the
radiators are kept warm and the house
is maintained at a delightful even tenn
perature at all times.
Now here is the important thing. It
takes less oil to heat your house with
constant flame than it does with a
flame that goes "on and off," If you
drive car you'll understand readily
how this is because you know from
your experience that "Stop and Co.
driving uses more gas than driving
steadily from point to point. It's the
same way with oil or gas burners.
If you are thinking about oil or gas
heat you ought by all means to get all
the facts. Why not telephone to-
day for an accurate estimate of the
cost of heating your home with a Nc
Ilvaine?

damaged. The possibility of there
being termites In ones home, ac-
cording to Hayward, is very slight.
Certainly there Is little risk II the
home owner will but make use of a
few simple control methods.
1t Is true that In a technical
sense, the termite exists in one
species or another In almost every
part of the United States. 1t Is also
true that in certain favorable en-
vironments an appreciable amount
OF termite damage actually occurs
According to DR.. T. z. Snyder, senior
entomologist of the Department OF
Agriculture, and the worlds out
standing authority on termites, there
has not been, however. an invasion
Of the United States by tropical ter
mites. Neither is the termite situ-
alton in this country getting any
worse. 1t is simply that the public
has in recent years become aware Of
termites,
Evening star., 1936-05-23

Further, according to DR.. Snyder,
termite infestation in a building may
exist for years without appreciable
damage. II building rests on
masonry foundation, all that is neces-
sary Is an inspection once or twice
a year, the removal Of any adjacent
wood debris, and the breaking OF Of
the easily seen shelter tubes built
by the insects over the masonry. Care
should be taken that the mortar Is
OF the best materials and workman
snip. however. else there may be en-
trance through 1t. Incidentally, the
above physical form of control, ac-
cording to DR.. Snyder, Is considered
preferable to the use Of chemicals.
The termite is not, therefore, TO
be dreaded as Is q scourge or q pesti-
lence. In the FIRST place, serious
damage by the insect Is largely con-
f1nd to limited sections Of the United
States.
