When you make your next visit to
the cellar to put coal on the furnace
fire, or just to look the plant over II
you have an oil or gas-burning system,
be sure to go back and find out how
hot the smoke pipe is that leads from
the heater to the hue.
If you find you can't put your hand
on it without getting sizeable burn
you can be reasonably sure that large
portion of the valuable heat that you
are creating is going up the chimney
where it isn't doing anybody particle
Of good.
The fact Of the matter is almost
every heating plant is wasting great
deal more heat than it should. OF
course, some houses have rather poor
chimneys that require considerable
amount of waste heat to make them
effective. but the majority Of smoke
pipes could be many degrees cooler
without upsetting any draft conditions.
There are numerous devices now on
the market that are designed to lower
stack temperatures Of heating boilers
with resulting reduction in fuel costs.
It 50 happens that they will also In
crease the speed of circulation Of the
boiler water so that quicker heating
is obtained. In other words, instead

Market Improvement Cause
of Definite Increase in
Inquiries.

A definite increase in inquiries tor
investment property was reported to.
day BY Claude Livingston. president OF
the william H. Saunders Co., who gave
q reasons for this improvement IN
the real estate investment market the
apparent trend toward some sort OF
imitation and the prospect OF lucrative
returns from improved property.
Livingston reported the sale OF two
more apartments by his firm within
the past week. The buildings. con-
tanning IL units each. are located at
l2l and 1875 Webster street. They were
sold to A. J. Anthony. The structures
are detached. making each room an
outside one.
With the present shortage Of rental
residential space, Mr.. Livingston
pointed out, the smaller apartment
buildings offer handsome returns on
the investment. and with the pros
pect Of imitation in the dining real
estate again becomes attractive to
the investor because Of its stability.
The Saunders Co. also reported brisk
activity In the market for four family
buildings. Mr.. Livingston said the

the economizer also tends to slow down
the burning gases so that they release
more heat Is they pass through the
upper part Of the boiler.
Boilers which are built with hue
passages too large for economical
operation can also be baflled so that
the heat will be held in the boiler for
q longer time. These bafies, made
Of cast iron blocks or steel plates. are
placed inside the fiue passages in such q
way that while there is a definite re-
tardins effect on the hot gases they
still do not cut down the draft to q
very great extent.
