The bracket is furnished with a
long extension arm so that the fan
can be swung this way and that. In
this way the fan is made to serve
in wide variety of locations. For
instance, if the bracket were
mounted near a window in the
kitchen it could be swung over into
place before the open fenestration
and air could either be drawn in
from the outside or blown out from
inside the house.
Then again. if you want to get
the full benefit of the fan in the
living room you would merely have
to place the bracket in more or
less central location, and with a
flick of the wrist it could be swung
around to blow on you directly or in
directly to fit your whim and fancy.
A fan of this sort would seem to be
infinitely more versatile than the
ordinary kind that sits quietly on

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

Now that summer has finally
come. many home owners are hav-
ing oil burners installed in their
furnaces. Your heating man should
be better equipped to handle this
work with all the troubles and hurry
calls of winter at last taken care
of. In fact, we hear that a large
number of home modernizers are
taking advantage of what would
ordinarily be a lull, and are now
having various kinds of repairs
made on ailing heating systems.
If you get around to having an oil
burner installed you will more than
likely find that it will be a problem
to decide the type of burner which
will work most satisfactorily. Should
you decide on a pressure or gun
type, however, you should make sure
that it will be installed with an
efficient combustion chamber. The
combustion chamber has much to
do with the proper functioning of
an oil burner, and you can't be too
careful about the arrangements
which are made in that location
Prefabricated combustion cham
bers are coming more and more
into general use. since they do
away with the sometimes obviously
built handmade fire chamber. These
rather simple arrangements are
made of heat-resisting fire clays.
and shaped in such a way that they
fit snugly inside the furnace with
only five or six interlocking parts
1t isn't necessary to shape any of
the blocks, since they are all de-
signed to work in together. Thus
you are assured of getting a we'll
engineered fire chamber with a
minimum of labor and expense.
One of the newest prefabricated
devices has eliminated the ordinary
fat rear wall and substituted
"vee-backed" section which the
manufacturers claim will give the
gases greater turbulence This in
creased stirring up of the fame is
supposed to cause better and more
complete combustion of the oil. The
thicker rear section also provides
considerably more radiant surface
and should enable your burner to
operate more economically and eff
ciently.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Jan. g. Mike Haas, chairman of one of the Third Divisions three division- al committees, advises that his group is backing former Territor- ial Senator James Campbell for Secretary of Alaska, succeeding E w. Griffin, who died ten days ago
 Thomas Donohoe, Cordova, is chairman of another divisional committee and it is not known what action his committee has taken.
 Leaders of the third faction in Third Division Democratic politics have not taken any action in the matter.
 A loud protest to The Empire followed the publication of story Saturday which announced the candidacy of various prominent men for the position of Secretary of Alaska, vacant since the death December 30 of E. w. Griffin.
 No candidates should have been announced, and The Empire apologies to those whom it's story embarrassed. So far as is known, the only formal applications that have been made for the position are those of E. L. (Bob) Bartlett and Senator Campbell.
 None of the men mentioned as being in the running for the office is seeking the position. If their names have been mentioned as possible candidates for the posi- tion, it has been by friends who may have suggested them as ma terial for the secretaryship.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-Night baseball for Philadelphia has been approved by the zoning board over complaints that crowds in historic Shibe Park would keep babies awake and disturb the neighborhood.
 Like fans and players protesting an umpires decision, twenty five irate citizens marched before the board yesterday and squawked loud ly against fourteen night games the Athletics and Phillies propose to play this summer.
 They said they lived near the ball park and didn't relish the pros pect of listening at night to the as sorted sounds of the great American game In the daytime-that was diff ferent, they said. But summer eve nings should be sacrosanct, broken only by the chirp of cricket sand not by the crack of bats, the yips of peanut vendors and the howls of excited fans.

BIG CROWD lS FORECAST FOR

Kings of Speed Will Roll Again at Indianapolis
 on May 30

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 23.-- The Kings of Speed will roll again at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 30.
 They will strut their stuff before the greatest crowd of motor mad speed fans ever assembled within the huge Hoosier arena, according to T. E. Pop Myers, general man. ager of the track, if the advance sale of seats which opened officially on Monday, January Is, is any criterion
 To sustain it's tradition of almost thirty years, "A Better 500-Mile Race Each Year" the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation has during the summer and fall, com pletely resurfaced the back stretch of the track with the fine non-skid Kentucky rock asphalt which will make for increased speed, less strain on the cars and add much to the comfort of the drivers.
 Man-power, machinery, thousands of tons of rock asphalt and binder thousands of gallons of liquid as phalt and many thousand dollars have been used in providing safety factors for race drivers and spec tators.
 Cars built according to the in ternational formula, specifications adopted in 1888, will prevail this year.
