Then you will be interested in the

it dissipate itself up the flue.
The accelerator is a device con-
nected between the cold water feed
line at the bottom of the hot water
tank and the heating unit Feed
water is forced through series of
nozzles, at high speed. creating a
suction which pulls with it to 10
times as much water from the bot

flow, and pushes it through the neck
OF the accelerator into the heater
unit. The flow of the water in the
tank is directed always toward the

tank, giving tankful of heated
water instead of one cool at the
bottom and very hot at the top.
This means you will have as much
hot water at one time as your
storage tank will hold. Circulation
goes on whether you are using wa

There are three or four times
day, totaling about six hours, when
the average home uses lots of hot
water. The rest of the time-about
l8 hours-the consumption of hot
water is negligible. The circulator
makes the heat accumulated during
non-active periods serve you when
active periods come around.
Let's say your heater is capable
of producing IS gallons of hot water

Los Angeles Will
Be Host at Annual
Meeting in October

The decentralization movement
now going on in many an American
city and the influence it has upon
the value of real estate, central and
suburban. is becoming so important
a factor that it will be major topic
OF discussion at the coming annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards, which
meets at the Biltmore Hotel, Los
Angeles, October "a, IS, 26 and 27.
From several approaches the con-
vention will be concerned with
means that may be taken to adjust
our present urban plant more COM
fortably to our modern ways of liv-
ing and to bring about the adjust
ment in ways to conserve urban real
estate values.
The associations newly formed
committee on the problems of COM
merclal districts, under the chair
manship of Walter S. Schmidt, Gin
cinnati, past president of the asso-
citation, is now compiling data avail
able and solutions proposed on the
whole range of problems which con-
Germ the economic health of busi-
ness centers and subcenters. The
suggestions produced are expected
to be the background for general
convention discussion. The study,
expected to be continued and to be
broadened, looks to the development
of suggestions as to action which
may be taken by individuals and
by communities and groups. 1t is
concerned both with immediate
problems and with long-range ad-
justments in urban land use and
city rebuilding with the general OBJ
jective of conserving and enhancing
present usefulness of urban prop
critics. Already under scrutiny by
the committee are such problems as

Although British and French
diplomats have been openly con-
cerned with the possibility that
Adolf Hitler might move to pro-
tect" the German minority OF
500. 900 in Jugoslavia. the recent
conouests OF the Nazis in central
Europe have resulted in strong
anti-Hitler demonstrations in Tag

Only the leaders Of the
Croaf autonomist party. which
demands greater political
rights from the Serbian-dom-
mated government at Bel

and photographs of Hitler were
Kissed when shown at Zagreb mo-

These demonstrations were con-
sidered particularly striking be-
