FUND
NEARS 2 MILLION

The 1910 Fund quota of S4,625,OOO
is $125,000 more than has ever been
collected in any previous campaign.
One reason for this increase is that
there are more than 175 agencies re-
ceiving support from the Fund this
year as compared to only $50 last
year.
$4,625,OOO, however. is the lowest
possible sum that will provide ado

many cards in hearts, plus a
longer suit for purposes of safety.
That is why he showed preference
for hearts.
Peculiarly, the very reason why
ne preferred hearts should have
been the reason for preferring
spades. With an even balance of

view is not upheld by the facts.
True, things are improving. But
there were 13 deaths in the United
States in 1889 directly due to the
celebration of the Fourth. This
compares well to the Is deaths in
1888 and the 20 in 1887, and of

Johns glance turned from the

with faint pink light, standing Sc
rene among evergreens and the bare
lofty branches of trees, toward the
direction in which she was gazing.
Figures in bright colored ski suits
toiled up the slope which extended
from the lake to the high wall
planted with hemlocks which
marked the boundary of the estate.

Current Building Trend
Is Toward Small Home

There is every indication today
that the swing toward TIE smaller,
less expensive home is a perma-
nent one, says the Plumbing and
Heating Industries bureau. The
preference today is for the COM
pact type of servantless house, even
among the income group which in
former years built larger houses.
Paralleling the trend toward the
small house incorporating the max
imum compactness and convenience
in its design and furnishings, Is the
steady progress made by the plumb
ing and heating industries in the de-
velopment Of space-saving features.
Radiators have been redesigned in
modern slenderized lines and have
lost 40 per cent Of their bulk and
size in the reducing process. Due to
its handsome streamlined design,
the new radiator looks smaller.
The factors have made it posi-
BILE for heating contractors to de-
sign steam or hot-water heating
plants with all essential parts such
as radiators, boilers, and piping,
considerably smaller than the sizes
it was formerly necessary to use.
The advent Of insulation, for in
stance, has decreased the heating
load so that smaller heating plant
will do the work. Better construc-
ton, too, has had the effect of re-
ducing the infiltration of cold air.
In the case of hot-water heating
plants, automatic heating with
forced circulation and dependable
safety controls has made it possible
to carry higher temperatures Of wa
ter in the system.
