OIL BURNER IS
PUT ON MARKET
Will Cut Operating Costs in
Half Claim for Ray
Automatic

In past years in Juneau the prob
EN- of even, steady and reliable
heating facilities for homes and
larger buildings has been prob
lem, but that will be a thing of the
past to those that take advantage of
The new Ray automatic engineer
oil burner which Will be offered
local home owners and office build
ings by Rice and Ahlers in the near
future.
This new type burner, which Rice
and Ahlers are offering Juneau, is
the newest, smartest thing on the
market. This high pressure nozzle
gun-type burner. with electric igni-
ticn, which will burn No S oil, will
cut operating costs almost in half.
The announcement that this
turner will US, a cheaper oil and do
it economically, is one of the most
important announcements that has
been made for many years.
Exclusive Patent
The subject of this new type of
burner has been very interesting
and ascinating for the past several
years, by reason of the fact that
several manufacturers have attempt
ed to design and place upon the
market burner that will perform
this function, but so far have failed.
The Ray Oil Burner Company has
an exclusive patent on the new
type burner.
Two of the principles that are
entirely new in this field are not
only novel and unique but will revo-
luJionl'e the oil burner field in
""r~S tn come. One of the prin-
ciples involves the use of viscosity
valve, while the other includes a
liquid bath heater.
Viscosity Valve
The viscosity value insureS the
perfection of the atomizing means
at all times with every start and
step of the heater, evrey drop Of
oil is withdrawn from the nozzle
and the fuel supply tube to the noz-
zle, resulting in the purging and
scavening CT the restricted passage
ways constantly. The viscosity valve
principle Is responsible for the de-
vice that brings this about. This
eliminates the possibility OF carbon
ling at the nozzle tip which has
been enc of the big troubles in oil
burning heaters in years past.
The liquid bath heater works by
way Of the use CT warm water in
this new type burner, and is just
what it says. 1t serves the purpose
of keeping the heater cool right up
to the nozzle itself after the burner
is shut down, thereby also eliminat-
ing the possibility of carbonizing
at the nozzle.
New Type
The fact that the Ray burner has
these new improvements, to give
better heating, more reliable at
cheaper price, with practically no
servicing after use for a much longer
period CT time than at present, in
sures residents of Juneau a type
of heater that is actually tops
for this country.
Those interested in this new Ray
automatic engineer should see Rice
and Ahlers Company as soon as
possible for any information that
they may desire on this latest and
most up-to-date heating innovation.

the power schooner Dorothy with
seven men, and the auxiliary
schooner Afognak with seven.
Besides deep sea fishermen and
helpers, there are also a number
of scientists aboard intent on try
ing out methods of taking giant
king crabs, canning them and fig

the proposition can be commercial

The experiment will be carried
out by the Fish and Wildlife Serv-

Scientists Aboard
Scientists on board the vessels
include DR.. Waldo Schmitt of the
Smithsonian Institution, leader of
the expedition; his assistant, Ca

nologist; Leroy Christy, economist,
and Carl B. Carlson, fisheries en-

Losses in j.. s.

The greatest peacetime army
ever marshalled in the United
States will wage war against our
national fire toll during the week
of october 6-13, designated Fire
Prevention Week by Presidential
proclamation.
Its objectives will be to reduce
the national fire loss that every
year takes a toll of 10000 lives,
$500 0OO, 900 property damage and
attacks one house out of every 60.
Fire Prevention Week is sponsored
annually by the National Fire Pro-
lection Association.
Sunday is M-Day
The huge volunteer army, con-
sisting of fire-fighters. civic club
members, youth agencies and thous-
ands of civilian volunteers, will
attack along many fronts. Begin
ing Sunday morning, October g,
announcements of the campaign will
be made from the pulpits of church
es IN cities, towns and villages the
country over.
On Monday, October 7, a nation
al inspection of homes will be
started to show home owners the
mora likely starting places for home
! fires. Common home fire hazards
will bc pointed out and remedies
suggested. Ruhbich in cellars ard
attics, faulty heating plants, dirty
chimnoys, flammable roofs, faulty
electrical equipment and wiring,
ard explosive dry cleaners are typi-
cal Of the hazards that the volun-
tccrs will seek out.
Fire-resistant Roofing
Home owners will be asked to
eliminate or correct such condi-
tons, to help make their homes
more firc-resistant and to safe
guard the lives Of their families
Rncfs that are covered with flam-
mable shingles should be coverc'
with fire-rcsistant ones, such a.
slate tile, asbestos or mineral sur
faced asphalt shingles, while faulty
heating plants should be examined

chmncys should be cleared an;
matches should be moved out o

Careful PLANNING
Vital in Mapping
ChiIdren's S Room

Cleanliness, healthfulness and
cheerfulness are the three most
important qualities to be sought III
decorating the modern children's
room or nursery. For the sake OF
the others in the house fourth
sound profing-may we'll be added.
Cleanliness can be achieved by
favoring plain surfaces and straight
lines and stunning odd shaped cor
pers. drapes and decorative embel-
lishments which collect dust and
dirt. Walls and ceilings should be
of material which can easily be
cleaned.
Even temperatures are essentiai
to good health. That's why healtn
experts recommend that children
rooms be insulated. 1t has beer
found that the temperature OF ar
uninsulated room may vary as much
as Is degrees at different levels.
Wall and ceiling surfaces OF IN
sulating board are ideal for chill
dren's rooms. They are attractive
and adaptable to almost any kline
of decorative treatment. At the same
time they have smooth surfaces
which can be kept clean with little
effort. Because they are heat re-
sistant they prevent the escape o.
warmth in winter and keep ou
unwanted heat in summer.
The sound quieting qualities of in
sulating board serve two purposes
During the day it absorbs the nois
of playing children and restricts
to the children's room. At night
keeps out noise from the rest O
the house and permits the childrel
to enjoy undisturbed slumber.
