baked enamel that won't crack, chip

ifiers, draft regulators, pot-type
burners and oil-control valves are
all completely hidden within the
cabinet-type exterior. There are no
moving parts. no wicks, no odors, no

models, two models in two sizes
each, third model in three sizes,
and one small heater made in one
size for the one-room cabin or
camp. All models may be hooked
up to basement or outside storage
tanks if you wish.
To decide which size you need,

capacity Is required for the winter

Zone one is where winter tempera-

temperature seldom goes below zero;
zone three where the temperatures
seldom drop below 25 degrees above

just how much heat each model
will give in a house of tight con-
struction in your particular zone.
To make the heat 60 farther,
after you have installed a space
heater in a high-ceiling room, it
is good idea to place a grille over
the doorway so that when the heat
rises 1t will pass out of the room in
which the heater stands and cir
culate into the next room.
In the summer, when you don't
need the warmth of the heater, it
will serve as an occasional piece OF
furniture with table scarf and a
bowl of flowers set on top, for the
connection for the flue is hidden
from sight behind the cabinet. All
you have to do when the chill
breezes of the cold months begin
is remove the decorative touch, and
the heater is ready to 60 to work
again
Although they are designed pri-
marily to heat one room, you will
find in some climates and some
houses you can stretch the heat
much farther. And, best news of
all, the heaters cost little to install
and their operation during the heat
ing season is much less than you
would expect. Don't forget they add
many more benefits to winter air
than the one prime comfort of heat.
They are actually little winter air
conditioners, bringing humidity as
we'll as warmth.
Better look into the various types
available and do something about
that hard-to-heat room before this

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

The goal of every houSekeeper is to
have her home as shiningly spick-
and-span at all times as modern
household lore and human elbow
grease can make it. But sometimes
the familiar equipment which helps
keep the house warm or enables the
cook to prepare a good hot meal is
neglected for the things which stand
out a little more prominently, things
such as floors and windows and
woodwork. instead of ranges and
radiators and furnaces.
That's because shining up heavier
equipment, or giving it new coat
of paint. seems too difficult a job, in
the abstract. Yet it needn't be.
There are aids to the polishing up Of
ranges and radiators and furnaces
which put them in the category of
floors and windows and woodwork
You can make your old standbys
look as cleaning and new as your
silverWare, with only small outlay
of money and couple of hours spe-
cial attention.
Take the hot-water heater or the
boiler of your heating system. Does
it look a bit shabby? No need to
put up with it. For one coat of
special mixture of specially pre-
pared aluminium finish that bakes
itself into the surface and becomes
part of the metal itself will give the
surface new silvery finish and pre-
vent further disintegration. 1t will
maintain the bright surface under
red-hot heat, for it is prepared to
Withstand 300 degrees Fahrenheit
above the boiling point of water
The same silvery coat is applicable
to radiators-or if you want some
thing different, you can get a gold
finish, which is brushed on just like
the silver, dries quickly and stands
trial-by heat, ordeal-by-water.
For the furnace there is black
enamel which is heat-resisting and
protects as we'll as embellishes the
surface. The black can be applied
a number of other places where you
probably have been putting up with
dull surfaces without realizing how
easy it would be to make them glossy.
Stovepipes, registers, CRATES, pipes
smokestacks, gas stoves, coal scut-
ties, boilers, ventilators, even sewing
machines. trays, garden tools and
iron fences can be touched up with
stovepipe enamel And you prob
ably have thought of a few more
while you were reading.
Any place that requires surface
both heat and water resistant might
benefit from an application of one of
the two finishes that rejuvenate and
protect. Why not brighten up your
home everywhere, and start this new
year with a gleam?

firm already has completed and
sold more than 60 homes. The block
just acquired is on Window place

Construction of a group of eight
homes on the new property al

are now being prepared for an
other group which will be started in
the near future. The first group
will be duplication of houses built

Non-Farn1 Homes
Foreclosures Drop
22qd in Il Months
Borrowers Better Able
To Keep Up Payments,
Expert Says

A drop of % per cent in fore
closures on non-farm homes during
the first II months of 1898 as COM
pared with the same period of 1887
was reported today by the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board. The board
gathers information on foreclosures
of city and town residential property
by all types of mortgage lending
institutions and makes a monthly
study.
Although there was a slight rise
in foreclosures during November as
compared with October-7.3 per
cent-all other indices pointed to-
ward the conclusion that borrowers
increasingly are better able to keep
UP their payments on home mort
cages, according to the statement
prepared by Corwin A. Fergus, chief
of the boards division of research
and statistics.
November was the third lowest
month of 1888 in the number of
foreclosures and stood nearly IS
per cent below November last year.
There we're 81 States and the
District reporting declines in FORE
closures from october aggregating
625 cases." said Mr.. Fergus state
ment. "Twenty-four States reported
increases totaling 1887, and three
States reported no change. Thus,
for the country as whole, there
was a net increase of 625 cases.
There were IS States reporting
fewer foreclosures this November
than during the same month of
last year, the declines ranging from
1926 per cent to 49 per cent. OF
the IL Federal Home Loan districts,
only the New York district registered
an increase for this period-242 per
cent.
Despite its rise over October,
November was nearly IS per cent
under the corresponding month of
the preceding year, was the third
lowest month thus far for 1898, and
stood below the average month of
1928"
Regarding the 11-month period
in the two comparative years, Mr..
Fergus reported:
With only seven States, Maine,
Vermont, New York, New Mexico,
Oregon, Wyoming and Nevada, re-
porting more foreclosures in the
first II months of 1893 than in the
same period of 1887, it appears that
the non-farm real estate foreclos-
ure records will show the current
year 1938) about % per cent below
1887, which. in turn, was l8 per cent
below 1886"

you thought the cost of such a pre-
tentious front, solidly constructed,
would be too great? If so, you will
want to know about the steel COL
umns now available at a much
lower cost than ever before in build
ing history.
Small steel columns are being
made at prices that compare favor
ably with the better grade of wooden
columns, so that even a compare
lively modest house can use them.
They are rust-resisting, f1reproof,
will not warp or SPLIT, and have no
seams to open. Bumps, blows and
rough treatment will not harm
them. Yet they are light in weight,
easily transported. and can be set
up with ordinary labor, without
special tools to do the job.
The columns are made from cop
per-bearing galvanized steel, fash
ioned in the factory with diameters
of 6l2, 8, 10, II. IA, 16, 10, 20, %, "a,
26, %, 30. 80, 36, AZ inches and from
5 feet to 36 feet high, so they should
suit almost any scale house. The
five smaller sizes are made from one
ply 90 gauge steel, the larger from
laminated two-ply 22-gauge steel
They have cast-iron rings top and
bottom, heavy steel load bands ex-
tending from the top ring to the
steel shaft to relieve the capital Of
weight, and all columns are pro-
vided with priming coat of high
grade paint before leaving the fac
tory. All you need apply is one more
coat of paint to match the rest of
your house.
There are II different designs
to choose from, nine conforming to
the different orders Of Grecian and
Roman architecture, and two, mod
ern designs. modified Doric in in
spiration. We especially liked the
modern variations, with their SIM
plicity and grace. The columns
are furnished to exact lengths as
required, so they are easy to erect
