TOR long time We have had the
* idea that oil burners for homes
had reached a peak of efficiency
Evening star., 1938-09-03

~ idea that oil burners for homes
had reached peak of efficiency
and economy that would be
hard to surpass, but it seems THAI all
sorts of Improvements have been made
in those devices in recent months
which make them even more desirable
to have working in your basement.
Take for example an entirely new
burner which is being put out by a
concern which formerly specialized in
boller-burner units. Instead of merely
forcing quantity of oil through a
small nozzle al high pressure to obtain
an oil vapor, this outfit also uses
stream of compressed air to break up
the Oil into an amazingly fine mist. BY
using this type of atomizaton the
burner is thus able to use a relatively
large sized nozzle which they claim is
much less apt to clog up with dirt
particles and make a service call nee
essary.
Another advantage of this new burn
er is the provision which has been
made for shaping the fame produced
so that it will fit the combustion
chamber. In this way you can make
long flame to fit a narrow sectional
boiler, or short round one to fit a
compact round heater It's not hard
to see why this burner is efficient, as
you are assured of wall wiping flame
at all times regardless of the strange
shape OF the boiler you install it in.
Has High Pressure Fan.
In order to relieve the problem of
natural draft, which seems to vary a IL
over the place, the makers of this
burner have included a high-pressure
fan which will maintain a fine hot
fire in spite of the manner in which
the wind is blowing up and down your
chimney.
A burner of the so-called rotary
type that We looked over recently also
had number of Improvements on it
which should add to its efficiency and
economy of operation. The ordinary
hearth arrangement, which is usually
built inside of the furnace, right below
the level of the burner, has been aug
mented with chromium steel flame
rim. This rim is installed right up
against the wall of the furnace, be it
round or rectangular, and comes in
one piece, so that it will permit easy
installation and still give you long
lasting burner. The advantage of hav-
ing this rim is quite evident when you
see the burner in operation, as it elows
a bright, comfortable red and acts as

JULY HOME LOANS
TOTAL $59,4oo,0oo
Figures Are z Pct. Under June's.
Southeastern States Lead in
Volume for Month.

New home mortgage loans totaling
$59, 100000 were made in July by all
savings and loan associations In the
country, sending to $387,9s4, 900 the
aggregate for the first seven months
of 1888, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board estimated today.
The July figures were per cent
less than those for June, but the de-
cline was approximately seasonal. All
figures were compiled by the boards

the District Of Columbia, Maryland
and Virginia, which are served by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Of Winston.
Salem, led all other parts of the coun-
try in the volume of new loans In
July with s9,106,o0O 5 per cent above
loans for June.
The increase in July in the Winston
Salem district as compared with the
seasonal decline over the country is
regarded as an indication of the rapid
expansion in home building which has

a fine hot spot for the oil to ignite and
burn to its entirety. Being right
smack up against the wall of the
boiler or furnace, it makes doubly sure
that the flame of the burner is held
close to the place where it will do the
most good.
In order to simplify the service prob
lem. this burner is so designed as to
require no fabrication outside of that
which it supplies itself. The one mov-
ing part is the vertically mounted
motor and it provides its own lubri-
cation by using the oil which flows
through its shaft on its way to be
burned.
