STUDIES UNDER WAY
ON WATER SYSTEMS

Nationwide studies to effect con-
troll Of water piping systems within
buildings are being carried out by
health boards, water works associa-
tions, master plumbers associations
and water purveyors, municipal and
private.
Divergence in existing plumbing
codes must be replaced by uniformity,
according to these groups, who point
out that serious civic situation Is
an inevitable consequence of present
practices. Hazards to health and
property, they warn, arise from ab-
sence Of control.
A chief difficulty, 1t is said, Is that
the water purveyor lacks authority to
regulate plumbing layouts beyond
the meter. An important develop
ment in 1886 in the field Of water
works engineering, it is pointed out,
Is an ordinance passed in New Bed
ford, Mass, which requires the city
water department to approve all
plumbing and piping on private prem
ises connected with the municipal
water supply.

Chicago is y city whose population
is estimated to be ~ per cent or
even A per cent apartment dwellers,
1t has vacant land enough 20 that
II all the apartments and three
family and four-famfly nats were
leveled OF and the space thus made
available divided into home sites for
one-family houses, there would be
room to house the entire population,
at the present average size for fami-
lies, within the city limits.
1T also shows that 1t IL not abso-
lltely necessary to house q large
proportion of q city's population in
40-family or 100-farnily structures,
due to the view that q city would
otherwise be SO spread out as to be
hopelessly inconvenient. Recent
changes in transportation systems

regarding the comforts and needs
Of the average family"

~ can be moved around room
~ and from one room to another
- as easily as a radio is the
answer to that familiar plant:
What can we do about the chilly
member of the family?" Why not
let portable heat follow in the wake
of the shivering one?
Heat is no longer stationary, but
comes in an electric steam radiator
which operates wherever you plug it
in-just like those ref1ector-type
electrical heaters which are. strictly
speaking, its progelitors. Only, the
new radiator on wheels has actual
steam heat within it, a thermostat
that cuts off the current when the
temperature reaches a certain point
and all the trim streamlining Of a
real radiator.
You don't have to do a thing to
this heater, once it is connected. 1t
is entirely automatic, the thermo-
stat turning the current on and off
to meet room temperature where you
decide it shall do so. Even when
the current Is off, the radiator goes
on warming the room both by con-
vection Cheating the air which
touches it, and radiation (sending
heat to cooler surfaces in the room)
by reason of the hot water in it.
But the automatic shut-off is an
economy. reducing the operating
costs of the radiator abo.t Is per
cent.
This kind of heater is perfect for a
sun room or inclosed porch. which, at
this time of the year, might not be as
comfortable as the rest of your house.
1t is also a blessing in the bed room
which has been chilled by the night
air that refreshed you while you slept.
You can use it in your Office or in
your apartment should your own con-
ception Of comfort differ from your
landlords, while nothing fits the bill
as neatly as your Summer camp in
the early Spring. when the urge to
get away is not quite strong enough to
overcome the suffering of q COM
pletely heatless week end
This compact radiator, which comes
in four sizes and in neutral green color
with black trimmings, takes up very
little space. The radiator of the
smallest size is 81 inches high, 81a
inches long and AZ inches deep. The
largest stands only "a inches high. It
is shipped to you with the right
amount of water already in it, as well
as a non-freezing liquid that keeps
it from bowling to Jack Frost when
the heater is not being used. About
once season you have to remove the
plug Of a little funnel-flller and add
enough water to bring the water line
within sight, but you never dump out
the non-freezing liquid. That is all
there is to its maintenance.
The thermostat dial is marked for a
temperature range of from SIS degrees
to 80. You set it wherever you want
it, plug it in, and presto! the water
is converted into steam and the heat
comes from it both radiantly and by
convection. A red light glows when
the current is on, in case you want to
keep track of how often it snaps of.
In case you are worried about what
might happen if the thermostat broke
down, be assured that the high steam
pressure which could develop in the
radiator IS taken care of by another
automatic device which shuts of the
current when the pressure reaches

SPREAD POSSIBLE
FOR POPULATION
Chicago Land Sufficient to
Care for Home Owners,
Survey DiscIoses.

Improved means Of transportation
and the general use Of the automobile
have radically changed the attitude Of
the majority Of city workers as to
the advantages Of living near the mu-
nicipal business areas, points out Her.
bert U. Nelson, secretary Of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards, in commenting upon the re-
suits Of survey recently completed
by the Chicago City Plan Commission
to determine the amount Of land used
for various purposes In that city.
''The necessity which was very real
a generationsor so ago." said Mr.. Mel
son, "of living near ones place of
business has rapidly disappeared in
recent years with the extension Of
rapid transit facilities, cheap fares,
motor bus lines in addition to the fact
that nearly every family owns an au-
tomobile. The recent survey showed
that in Chicago there is sufficient
vacant land within the municipal lin
its to provide comfortable one and
two family homes for practically all
II not the entire population Of the
city"
New York Possible Exception.
This condition, Mr.. Nelson adds, Is
true Of virtually every other city in
the country with the possible excep-
ton of New York.
The survey just made by the
Chicago City Plan Commission en-
braced the entire 200 square miles
in the city area. The estimate
showed that about 47.6 square miles
were vacant. of which about % per
cent was used for streets. parks, fire
protection and other municipal uses.
The amount Of land used for manu-
featuring was shown to be 25.9 square
miles; for commercial purposes, 9.8
square miles; for apartments, little
more than square miles and for
other special uses 80 square miles.
THE survey also revealed" said
Mr.. Nelson, that in the 13 years
since the city's zoning ordinance was
adopted the increase in amount Of
land occupied by either commercial
or manufacturing purposes in the
near-in areas has been less than
per cent. The commission officials
believe that this proportion would
certainly be no greater for the entire
city area.
Chicago Space Possibilities.
"The survey, therefore, seems
clearly to indicate that even though

sively several years ago. Builders
are using a fat type of tile rather than
what they call sewer-pipe type, and
they also use a wide range Of colors.
Many houses use white tile and many
roofs have a distinct pitch.
In the new houses decidedly sim
pie rectangular masses are used in
design. Roof lines have much SYM
metry. The old style broken roof line
Is largely absent. The simple slopS

floor plans and general simplicity Of
design, gives the effect that is ordi-

Since eve arc one" Christian
unity must have its one basis IN
individual union with the united
Deity, for the perfection of unity
is what the Apostle styles "the
unity of the God-head." So the
primal union of the Christian is
not with a creed, nor with other
Christians, nor with a local
church. nor even with an ideal
man: it is. first of all and funda-
mentally, a union with the per-
sonal, risen, living, omnipresent
Lord. Just rs the branches are
united to the vine, the building
to its foundation. the members OF
the body to the head, the human
race to Adam, the wife to her
husband. so the Christian must be
united with Christ. And we abide
in him by our entire conservation,
while he abides in US by our APP
propriating faith. On no other
basis or condition can there be
true Christian unity.
From our Lords prayer That
they may be one" VIC must not

Christian unity. 1t is not, as some
think, a broad, thin. insipid liber-

be understood as recurring COM
plete social and intellectual con-
geniality, for violet and red have

union mean the mere cessation
of animosity. We think it means

Christians who are united in look

toward the lost world which must
be redeemed. if at all, by the
blood of Jesus Christ. 1t means a
oneness in primary aims; for
whatever subsidiary motives may
actuatc us, every Christian should
desire above all to honor God and
destroy Satan. And it means a
oneness of action on the higher
levels Of life, for there are great
fundamentals upon which all low
