HOME RADIATORS
ARE SLENDER|zED
Less Bulky Heating Unit
Designed Also to Give
Greater Efficiency.

That dependable and sturdy friend
OF the family, the radiator, has been
going through such revolutionary
changes in appearance that the be-
ginning of the heating season finds
him hardly recognizable, says the
Plumbing and Heating Industries Bu-
feau.
Changes in radiator design, the bu-
reau points out, have proceeded in
three directions.
On the one hand manufacturers
have impaired smart, modern,
streamlined design to the type of
radiator which stands out in the room.
On the other hand. there has been
definite trend in the direction of
developing heating units which can
be completely concealed in the wall
Such units are more properly termed
convectors instead of radiators mas
much as they give off their heat to
the air which circulates around them
and not by direct heat rays as is the
case with radiator
This difference between heating by
radiation and convection accounts for
the development Of the third type Of
heating unit for use with steam and
hot-water plants. This is unit which
is placed in recess in the wall, so
that it is entirely out of the way, yet
1t has live front. This means the
front OF the radiator, being filled with
hot water or steam, gives off radiant
heat. In addition, the same unit also
heats by convection like other in-the-
wall types. This is accomplished by
vectants which are concealed behind
the live front of the unit.
The research activities of radiator
manufacturers in recent years have
been directed with the purpose of
providing a unit which would meet
the present-day requirements Of
beauty and space economy and at the
same time provide an even distribu-
ton Of healthful heat with maximum
fuel economy.
Thus the modern slender tube ra-
diator takes up 40 per cent less space
than its bulky predecessor while doing
better job of heating.
The trend toward smaller radiators
has been greatly aided by parallel inn
provements in steam and hot-water
heating equipment, notably in adjust
able quick venting air valves for steam
plants and mechanical circulation for
hot-water plants.
Thanks to the electric pump which
forces the circulation of water and
permits the use of high temperature
hot water, midget-sized radiators can
be used. This reduction in the size
Of radiators and in the size of the
piping has resulted in corresponding
decrease in the cost of water heat
ing plants.

Fire, Police Boards
 Organize Tomorrow
Only Routine Business Expected to Be Transacted;
 No Appointments Scheduled for Consideration

Special meetings of both the fire and police boards will be held to- morrow afternoon and organization of the committees will be undertak- en with Mayor Frank Hayes pre- siding as chairman ex-officio. The fire board will meet at 4:30 o'clock in the mayors office, the police board at o'clock.
 While appointments to the fire department in some number are under consideration, it was learned by The Democrat today that these will not be made at the meeting of the board tomorrow. So far as ap- pointments to the police depart ment, it was pointed out that many appointments have been made with in the last year and the personnel is fairly complete.
 Thomas F. Mccarthy, prominent druggist of Grove street, and Burton H. Walker, Republican alderman and president pro tempore of the aldermanic board, are the new ap- pointees to the fire commission. All other members are reappointed from last terms membership.
 On the police board the new ap- pointees are Wendell L. Cross, Ed ward Downs and Maurice J.. Sweeney, the former two Republi- cans.

(By Staff Reporter)

Hartford, Jan. 20.-It appears more certain today that the "Dona- tion" made to the Fusionist group in the city of Waterbury will come in for careful scrutiny by the ex- traordinary grand jury which will convene on Jan. 25 to investigate land transactions in Fairfield coun- ty where the state paid over $6,000,- 900 for land and the right of way for the parkway.
 To add to the controversy which has attracted nationwide attention, another angle of construction work will be presented to the grand jury to determine if any state laws were broken when workers for contractors were compelled to kick back" part of their earnings to their employ CTS.
 Contractor Summoned
 The fine imposed upon the Miriami Construction company of New Haven for alleged failure to pay their employees the prevailing rate of wages established by the state for construction work caused the officials of the prevailing wage rate board to confer with Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin and Deputy Attorney General Dennis j.. O'Connor and request that the con- tractors and their employees be sum- moned before the grand jury. The prevailing wage board, com posed of Frank J. Brennan of Bridgeport, Roy Wilcox of Middle town and Henry J. Tierney of New Haven was reported today to be in possession of information tending to strengthen the belief that many en- ployes of contractors did not actual ly receive the rate of wages set by the board.
 The Connecticut Federation of La- bor is also reported to be ready to go before the grand jury to press similar charges. It was the Con- necticut Federation of Labor which sponsored the establishment of the prevailing wage board on all state and federal construction work.

Rare Honor
 MT. Greer in accepting the invita- ton has selected for his subject, Recent Advancements in Clinical Photography. He will discuss in his paper recent contributions which clinical photography has made to medical science, with special refer ence to colored features. MT. Creer's lecture will be amply illustrated. It is believed to be the first time that a clinical photographer has been afforded the privilege and oppor- tunity to speak before the American Medical Associations convention.
 MT. Greer is widely known here. He is the son of Mrs. Ada Greer of the Meriden road and a brother of Miss Aida Greer, assistant superin- tendent of the Waterbury hospital. His extensive experiences qualify him to speak with authority on his selected subject.
 Served At Yale
 In 1926 he served as assistant in the Photographic Department in Yale Medical school and four years later became director. In 1883 he was appointed senior clinical pho tographer with the United States Government and in 1885 advanced to the rank and title of Principal Pho tographer.
 In 1881 he organized the Biological Photographic Association, national organization, and served as it's presi- dent for three years. He has written numerous articles, which have ap- peared in such periodicals as the Journal of the American Medical Association, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Journal, Journal of the Biological Photo graphic Association and others.
 MT. Greer is regarded as an ex- pert in his field of endeavor and has been widely commended for his articles as well as for his un- usual photographic work.

No DevelOpmentS

Captain Joseph P. Stevens, chief inspector of the local de- tective bureau, stated there were no new developments today in the story of Miss Gertrude Free man, of Al Cooke street, who complained Tuesday evening that she was held up near the corner of North Main and Cooke streets and robbed of stenOgraphic notebook. Miss Freeman was unable to furnish any information to identify the alleged rObber. The latter made no attempt to steal Miss Free mans purse which she carried in her hand. Miss Freeman made no Outcry to attract the attention of passersby. The young man, she said, ran across the street and disappeared on Kingsbury street.
 Miss Freeman'S book contained notes of a conference between representatives of the Water bury Democrat and the Water bury Newspaper Guild. It has no value to anyone except two parties mentioned.

Possibility of an insanity plea by Arthur Hivon, who faces superior court and jury next Tuesday on a firt degree murder count, was mini mixed today when Dr. Daniel P. Griffin of Bridgeport, reported to States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis that Hivon is perfectly sane.
