about 80 to SIS gallons Of water, de-
pending on the amount Of radiation
and the piping used, and the overflow
is piped to your regular drain con-
neCtiOn.
If you have no running water you
can have the stove anyway, for once
the system is filled up it uses the
a little of it evaporating every day.
You can refill the water pipes from
time to time by hand.
You keep the stove aglow all the
time, of course, leaving the lids on
the burners tilted at night and shaking
the ashes in the morning before you
set your coffee pot on the range. If
your house gets too hot, you can
turn off the radiators, just as you
would with any other heating system.
In fact, it works so much like any
other heating system We can't under
stand why nobody thought to harness
the good old-fashioned cook stove
before!
Cook stoves remind us that the
great outdoor eating season is about
to end. All you who have not yet
roasted potatoes over an open fire
could pick no better time to do it
than now, as the leaves turn. There
is a de luxe portable grill which
cooks meats on both sides at once
that we cheerfully recommend as q
picnicker's delight. It has wire
broiler, hung vertically between two
fuel compartments In which you burn
either wood or charcoal. While the
steak Is sizzling you can warm baked
beans and coffee on the cooking sur
face on top. It's so handy-and costs
only S7.50-no tnveterate camper
should be without one.
Almost time to put down your rugs
again. If you didn't clean them when
you put them away for the Summer
as you should have, of course, don't
be discouraged. You can clean them
after you have laid them back on the
floor.
We have found q new cleaner
which comes with a long-handled
| rubber vacuum brush; with it you
shampoo the dirt out Of rugs and car
pets without soaking or saturating
them at all. You merely dissolve the
chemical compound. about one tea
cupful to six quarts of hot water. and
that is enough to shampoo a 9 by IL
rug. Rub 1t over the surface with a
straight forward and backward stroke
about 10 inches in length and the
width of the brush. About seven or
eight times, with and against the
nap, should cleanse the space thor
oughly. Then on to the next section.
1t is the only rug cleaner we know
which must be used hot, although

OW would you ike 10 neat
your house this Winter with
the same FIRE that cooks your
L 4 food and provides the hot
water for your household? One fur
mace to tend-one coal bill to pay
and three jobs done. Sounds pretty
good?
1t Is. There is new range on the
market which, with an approximate
consumption of from 4 to 5la tons of
coal a season. gathers up its excess
heat and circulates it to radiators all
over a five or six room house.
For long time people have realized
that the coal used in an ordinary
kitchen range had more than enough
heating power required for all the
soups, stews and cakes in the cook
book. But, as Mark Twain remarked
about the weather. nobody did any,
thing about it. Coal gases discharged
by the glowing Goals went up the
chimney uselessly.
The new range burns those coal
gases right within its iron walls. send
ing the excess heat so manufactured
into a hot-water tank which. in turn,
circulates hot water to radiators in
every room of the house. Hot water
for bathtubs, kitchen sink and laun-
dry is heated in a separate tank in
front of the flrebox not connected
with the house heating apparatus at
all, so one will not throw the other
out of commission.
Think of being able to put coal into
your cook stove and calling it a day!
The manufacturers Of the range
guarantee 10 degrees of heat even in
zero weather for any average home.
Bending over backward to be fair.
they point out that the system Is not
suited to a 10 or IL room house, or
one with extremely lofty ceilings. The
average house they define as four
to six room house, one or two family
style, bungalow or two-Story or three
story. Indeed, they say it is particu-
larly adapted for use in multi-family
flats, each tenant running the range
to suit his individual needs with more
economical fuel consumption than IN
a central heating plant.
Through actual use by hundreds OF
users it has been estimated that the
range consumes approximately five
tons of coal, more or less, in the
Winter season from october to May.
This would be about a so per cent
saving in ordinary heating costs. when
you add up the various charges for
cooking, heating hot water and regu-
lar house heating furnace.
The range, which looks like any
ordinary cook stove. but has a pat
ented device for house-heating Sc
creted inside, costs approximately
$500, installed. This does not include
a hot-water boiler, naturally. 1t takes

PAYMENT Of RENT
TO SELF ADVISED
F. H. A. Cites Advantages
and Economies of Home
Ownership.

Contrasting conditions that must De

CURED when buying home under the
insured mortgage system, the Federal
Housing Administration today showed
wherein its system of insured home
financing is similar to paying your
self rent" and often "leSS than ordi-
nary rent"
Rent, it was pointed out, must in
clude all the landlords cost items.
Should rent not include all such items
over any considerable period, investors
will not put money into housing and
shortage will occur, causing rents
to increase disproportionately until
new investors are attracted by profits
to be derived from rents.
The Housing Administration stated
that the cost items considered by
landlords, such as taxes, insurance
and similar fixed charges, also are
figured in monthly payments on in
sured mortgages.
Also Pay Interest.
1t was further cited that individuals
paying rent are necessarily paying
interest on the total investment that
the landlord has in the premises. An
individual paying monthly INSTALL
ments on mortgage insured by the
Federal Housing Administration, it
was shown, is paying interest only
on the balance of the mortgage. Rent,
it was maintained, must be enough to
cover costs of upkeep and repairs.
items which are not included in in
sured mortgage payments. Also oc-
CupantS are generally more careful
of the premises and perform needed
repairs Immediately. thus appreciably
cutting down depreciation.
Rent must include profit for the
landlord or there Is no reason for his
being in business. That profit must be
large enough to cover various contin-
gencies. No profit is included in the
monthly payment on an insured mort
gage. From these factors it is shown
that the insured mortgage monthly
payment plan includes less items of
expense than rent must include, if it is
to be normal and economic, and is,
therefore, often "less than ordinary
rent"
Monthly Installments.
A fact considered most important to
home owners who finance under the
insured mortgage system is that the
monthly installments represent all the
cash outlay he has to make under the
Housing Administration plan to own
a home of his own.
There may be other additional costs
coming indirectly out of home owner
ship-for example, carfare to work
and back from an outlying subdivision,
but this is said to be more than COM
penSated by lower taxes and other sav-
ings.
1t was also cited that the easier
terms of the Housing Administration s
plan offer special incentive to save
to those who wish to assemble the
necessary 20 per cent down payment
required under the insured mortgage
, system or for the purchase price of a
lot which will amount to 20 per cent
of the appraised value Of the home
and grounds.
At the root Of the program insti-
tuted by the Housing Administration,
1t was explained, is an attempt to
offer average American families the
best possible opportunity to own their
own home,

Tomorrow another gentleman,
who likewise is as unbiased as a

thing like this:
"Re-elect Roosevelt and your
country forever is wrecked. Lam

full dOings, the reporter must I'M
dertake to supply the answer him
self.
Undoubtedly Joe Di Maggie, best
rookie of several years, has filled
a dire outfeld need. Tony Laz-
zeri supplies a shrewd steadying
influence. frankie Crosetti, living
up to predictions that once seemed
unlikely to be realized, may really
be the spark plug of the team. Lou
Gehrig's hitting is. But enough
of such things. It is senseless to
call the roll while singing out each
player responsible fol the clubs
success.
The point is that the dead-panned
YankS of year or two ago also
abOunded with single individuals of
far more than average worth. Yet
they ever were failing in the clutch.
Now they are far out i'm the lead of
the American League parade. The
reason for their Success-yOu can
twist it about and also obtain the
disastrous dope concerning the gold
embroidered Red SOX-is that Joe
Mccarthy is not milling along with
a collections of stars. He is head
ing team.
Being an old Babe Ruth boy, I
rather hate to admit this, but it is
the truth. During his two final sea-
sons with the club, and even last
year when the memory of his
mighty deeds still fingered, there
was tension, divided loyalty in
clubhouse and dugout.
1t was a state of affairs, this con-
filct between a manager and a
dominant personality, which nei-
Their the Babe nor Mccarthy could
handle. No doubt both of them sin
cerely deplOred it and struggled
for some proper mingling o. team
spirit. But the conflict and the in
evitable destruction of bright
chances existed just as surely as
a similar tug of purposes still ex-
lists among the Red Sox snt at
Ebbets Field.
Now the young men come alive
in the dugout. They round first
base, seeking to give extra value
to their hits as they did in the
palmiest days of Murderer's Row.
Heads which formerly were occu-
pied only with figuring individual
averages now are bobbed determin-
edly in front of second basemen
seeking to complete double plays.
Even the pitchers. But per-
haps it would be best to stop here
in the midst of undoubted glad
ness.
More than likely the Yankees
would have similar tidy led if
Ruth now were manager and Nc
Carthy was sitting on his Buffalo
back porch. As one of the most
persistent tOrchlight bearers in the
Bambino procession, 1 think that
they would.
