MODERN HEATING
FALLS IN ) TYPES
Direct-Fired Unit Pictured
as Most Unusual and
Simplest System.

Modern heating and r-condition-
Ing systems may be said to fall into
. five principal types. Each IS individual
In principle and each has its own
special advantages.
The most usual and the simplest
Is what is called the direct-fred sys-
tenn. In it the furnace is directly
connected to supply and return ducts.
A separate household hot-water supply
system IS needed with this type.
Blower, humidifier and air cleaner,
when used, are connected with the
furnace casing.
The indirect system differs from
the aforementioned type In that it
uses a boiler to furnish heat to coils
in the conditioner. The hot-water
supply comes from the boiler. This
type is less noisy than the direct-flred
system.
The auxiliary system is widely en-
ployed because Of its adaptability. It
may be used with existing heating
systems that use any type Of radiator.
1t supplies heat directly to all rooms
by means Of radiators. Conditioned
air is supplied by an auxiliary unit
. In the split system certain rooms,
such as the bath and kitchen, are
supplied with direct radiation. This
prevents kitchen odors from being
recirculated. Complete air. condition
ing is supplied to the entire house.
The fifth of the most frequently
encountered systems is the unit sys-
tenn. A feature Of this is that it uses
any type vapor or hot-water heating
plant, and the air conditioning is
taken care of by room units. When
only one or two rooms are to be air
conditioned this type is the most eco
nomical installation available.
OF the five systems only one. the
direct-fired system, uses any type Of
heating plant other than steam or hot
water boiler.

PLAN SAFE STAIRS

The plan Of q house may call for
q stairway with = corner. Such q
feature may be made safe If the
owner insists that no more than two
steps be set in a 90-degree turn, and
that these allow for ample foot space.
To divide the turn into three steps
makes for unsafe footing and con-
stitutes safety hazard.
In many modernization projects, old
stairways are replaced and in some
cases redesigned. Care should like
wise be exercised to see that the new

Wash Walls Before Painting.

Before painting new brick build
ing it is often advisable to neutralize
the lime in the mortar by going over
the walls with water wash of zinc
sulphate. A mixture of spar varnish
and house paint made on good lin
seed oil base, makes printing coat.
Follow this with a coat or two of good
quality house paint in the color de-

 As there was no chance to ruff his losing heart, East now made the play which gave him his con- tract. He led 8 low club from dum- my, North winning with the jack. North now could only cash his ace of hearts and return trump. De- clarer won with the king and picked up the remaining trumps in South's hand.
