makers will perform as admirably
with oil as with coal or gas.
This interesting piece of equip
ment performs this triple threat
function by means of a combustion
chamber Of extra large proportions.
Thus, the radiant heating surfaces
are the largest possible area, and a
maximum of heat is transmitted to
the boiler water. These heating sur
faces are also equipped with pro-
jecting fins which reach out like
many fingers and grasp heat out OF
the passing gases. 1t is also pointed
out that these boilers have been de-
signed to operate satisfactorily with
the small chimneys which seem to
be built into most of our houses
these days.
An insulated jacket is provided, of
course, finished in bright, durable
colors so that it may prove to be
an adjunct to the decoration Of your
cellar game room. The boilers are
available in seven sizes, and we are
also advised that they may be
equipped with complete domestic hot
water heating facilities which are
built into the interior and have no
gadgets sticking out beyond the at

tractive jacket. The various gauges
are also made flush with the out
side OF the casing 50 that the whole
installation presents an enicient,
clean cut appearance.
And just in case you do have to
burn a table or chair some time,
the fire doors have been made ex-
ceptionally large for easy firing.
Very thoughtful.
If you have an attic space that
becomes unbearably hot in summer,
and equally cold in winter it would
be very good idea If you had the
entire area insulated. Insulation
works just as hard for you In hot
weather as 1t does in cold, you know,
and you will notice an amazing
change in the INABILITY of the house
Immediately.
1t isn't as difficult or expensive
a job as you might think, either,
because all sorts of new methods
of installation have been worked up
in recent years which tend to make
the whole business a pretty simple
matter. Take, for instance, the plac-
ing of those blocks of insulation
called bats. In the past there has
been some criticism of this form Of

Basement Decoration
Makes Gumeroom

A 30-by-30-foot basement has
recently been converted into an en-
gaginy recreation room by its owner,
who drew on Disney cartoons for
inspiration. The concrete floor, first
neutralized Tor alkalinity, was paint
ed q yellowish tan for an effect of
sunniness. On the white walls the
cartoon murals of Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs" were drawn free
hand with pencil, then colored and
protected by a flxative.
A game chest and game tables
were made by the owner, as we'll
as the dart board, table and bench,
movable blackboard and lamps.
Particularly ingenious is the NOV
able refreshment counter, which fits
over the laundry tubs and washing
machine. A hinged top allows for
dish washing.

insulation because 1t sometimes
slipped down between the studs after
1t had been in place for some time,
and sort Of packed down, leaving an
area above which was unprotected.
That difficulty may now be cor
rected by means Of q patented wire
rack which provides Q series Of small
shelves upon which the various bats
are supported permanently between
the studs. These racks are unfolded
on the job and the top end is nailed
to the top Of each stud space. Thus,
ample support Is given the insula-

allowed to compress from the pres

We have talked with lots of people
recently who say they would like to
have new boiler installed in their
homes, but are bit wary about
climbing way out on the limb with
the purchase of equipment which
will burn only one fuel efficiently. In
other words, they would like to put
in a nice, new and efficient heating
plant, but possibly can't afford some
form of automatic heat right now.
Hence, they want to burn coal for a
while then get more elaborate and
install an oil burner, coal stoker, or
automatic gas burner.
Then again, in these changing
times we never know when we may
be forced to chop up the furniture
to keep warm some winters eve
ming. This possibility is quite re-
mote, we hope, but still it would
seem like sort of good idea to have
boiler in the basement which will
work we'll with different fuels, Just
in case. This type of boiler has re-

For centuries, the news Travelled
from mouth to mouth. and letters
and pamphlets served as proof of
actuality. China, advanced in every
respect, had some kinds of news
papers, which were printed by order
of the court, but were concerned
strictly with affairs of the Chinese
Empire Thus, the "Peiping- g-Bao"
was founded in Peking by Sou

scum had an extremely rare sheet
called "The English Mercury which
had the date of 1885,. But very
soon it was discovered-and the Eng
lish were the first ones to admit it
that it was fraud
Germany, at her turn, was believed
to be attaining the cup with sample

Belgium, not to be left behind,
joined the battle for priority. 1t
was in 1905 that Abraham Verhoeven,
a printer from Anversa, obtained the
privilege from the Archduke Albert
and Archduchess Isabelle to put out
pamphlets. His publication (Which
measured about 10 by u inches) was
called the "Nieuwe Tijdinghen," con-
sisting of from to 16 pages, and ap-
peared in circulation, only irregu-
larly, at the whim of the wars and
world events. 1t was only in 1921
that it started to come out regularly
once a week. Later, it came out
even twice or three times week -.
In 1922, 179 little newspapers were
