new HEATING UNITS
Oil Heaters May Be Used in Fin.
ished Room.

Oil-burning heating units that In
clude the burner and all its trap
pings within the unit itself have
been designed and are on the market.
These heaters are compact and neat
looking and are finished in enameled
cases, so that they may be set up in
a finished room without objection.
The fire chamber in which the flame
is inclosed has been especially de-
signed to "fit" the fame; that is, the
shape of the chamber follows the
curve of the fame and thus the walls
receive an even heat that gives a
maximum of efficiency in imparting
the heat to the water or air that
surrounds the chamber.

writer. "One-fourth are more than

Families Double Up.
"In almost a million homes an

average almost four members. Grant
that the doubiing-up family is often
smaller, still 6,o000o0 people are liv-
ing 'doubledup,' partly for lack Of
means-but also for lack of housing"
Commenting editorially on the gen.
eral situation and the new business
opportunity presented by the need for
small houses, Today says: up 10
now, very little has been done in an
organized, large scale way to fill the
need for houses But at last it seems
that something is going to be done
and in the healthiest possible way,
which is through the enterprise and
! initiative of private business. The
manufacture and sale of homes that
the majority of American families can
afford to live in is now conceded to
be the greatest business opportunity
since the birth of the automobile in
dustry If the home building indus
try were developed to its full po-
tentialities, it would, in fact, far eX-
ceed the automobile industry in an
nual volume of sales.
Better and cheaper homes are on
the way. That is good news, for social
reasons and for economic reasons.
Building employs 100000 men in
average times, half of them directly on
| the job, the other halt in the manu-
facture and processing of materials.
/ There are more men working at build
ing normally than at any other
occupation, save farming. That is
why America cannot be economically
healthy when its building industry is
sick. And certainly America can never
be socially healthy so long as millions
of people live in the kind Of homes
they live in now"

heat only and lack of air heating to
warm the entire room.
In order to make the fireplace a de-
cent heating device as we'll as a place
to roast marshmalloWs and pop corn,
some intelligent person has at last
figured out way to utilize that heat
for more practical purposes.
A steel heating chamber Is hidden
in the fireplace in a correctly designed
form SO that the masonry can be built
around 1t in way which will insure
smokeless operation.
Registers are located ON either side
Of the fireplace at the Dashboard and
also at a higher level foot or SO
below the ceiling. Cold air is drawn
in at the bottom registers, warmed,
and returned to the room thus elimi-
mating the one-sided effect which is
so characteristic of all fireplaces.
The nice part about this equipment
is the fact that the fireplace can be
used during the Spring and Fall to
actually heat the house and you don't
have to bother with your main heat
ing plant until 1t gets very cold.

IF YOU are having difficulty keep
ing certain rooms warm these
near-zero days, you will possibly
i be interested in a new heater
which has recently been placed on the
market.
Utilizing a heated current or air, as
well as the radiant heat from an
electric heating element, this compact
INIT can easily bc installed in any
room recurring little additional com
fort On short notice, such as a bath
room. dressing room or breakfast nook
Instead of warming up only a small
nortion of the room, this device Will
quickly circulate heated air to all parts,
hut vo,, can still enjoy the cheerful
glow of the radiant electric element
similar to the heaters which you are
accustomed to using.
The heater is placed in the wall just
above the Dashboard and the cool air
from the floor is induced into the lower
oneninqs of the unit. It then passes
I'D through the heater chamber where
the necessary velocity is attained 70

room. In addition to the air wnlcn
ra secs through the main chamber, an
other supply is drawn up over the oack
and sides of the chamber and circu-
laed out into the room. thereby in
creasing the efficiency and economy OF
the unit to a considerable extent.
The built-in unit is available IN
| wide range of sizes and capacities ana
there is also small portable unit
which can be easily moved from room
to room as desired.

Designed on the principle Of a
miniature warm-a furnace this device
replaces a portion of the furnao &c

BY installing a unit Of this sort the

Two Units Work on
Powel's New Film

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, March 19.--The
new William Powell picture, "The
Ex-Mrs. Bradford" is of such mag
nitude that two companies are
working on the film, shooting in
different locales.
The main unit, working under
Director Stephen Roberts, is now
working at the studio, shooting in
teriors with Powell, Jean Arthur,
Eric Blore, James Gleason and 9TH
er featured players. Wallace Fox
is directing the second unit, which
is on location at a California race
track shooting extras, jockeys and
thoroughbreds.
AS soon as the interiors are COM
pleted, the principals will go to the
track for additional scenes. The
new picture is a mystery comedy
drama of the type in which Powell
specializes.
