He ran it on the first page and
it caused much comment. The
Women's Club members took up
the fight and a noted author was
engaged by the paper to run some
articles and the fight for a real law
for women was well on its way. A
good law was drafted and lost i'm
two sessions of the Legislature, but
they have a law that enables the
people to initiate any law on pre-
sentation of enough signers. This
was done and it went on the ballot
at the next state election and
carried on this referendum by over
10000, receiving the highest vote
and majority given any constitu-
tional amendment. There were not
so many eight hour laws for women
along in 1908, but they are now
almost universal among the states.

inexpensive Plant Developed
For Heating Small Houses
Compact Steel Furnace for Dwelling
Of Four or Five Rooms Costs About $110
By DOROTHY DUCAS and ELIZA
BETH GORDON.

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and ELIZA
BETH GORDON.
One Of the overdue benefits which
has come from defense housing is
the development of a small, mex
pensive heating unit for the $500
to 5000 house. Many manufacture
ers have designed and produced for
government projects compact units
which. can heat four or five rooms
from either the basement. the utility
room or the kitchen without sub
stantially raising the price Of the
house
Most of these makers are busy
turning out units for government
housing, but the maker Of coal
burning forced-air system reports
that its increased production makes
it possible to accept orders from
private builders for immediate de-
livery.
The heating problem in cold cli-
mates has made 1t impossible up to
now for many private builders to
erect and sell houses for low-income
groups.
Now, however, a heavy-guage steel
furnace inclosed in an attractive
enameled casing can be purchased
for about $l10. That means it can
be used in a house which rents for
less than $50 a month. The unit is
only "a inches square, with a sepa-
rate blower to circulate the heated
air. The blower can be installed

against the furnace or a few feet
away in some convenient recess.
The heater is economical to oper-
ate and is equipped with heavy cast
iron CRATES for use with anthracite
or bituminous COAL The firebox is
firebrick- lined. 1t also can be
adapted for use with an oil burner.
Multiple Unit Heating Aided.
The need for more homes In areas
where new jobs have been created
by the war effort has turned many
large old homes into multiple dwell
lings. Heating a house for several
families is much more OF a Job than
heating it for one family. A new
heating control, delicately operated,
comes to the rescue.
With this new regulator heating
can be controlled by outside tenn
perature. It turns an automatically
fueled heating system up or down as
the weather indicates, day and night.
It eliminates heat when the tenn
perature rises to IS degrees outdoors,
automatically starts the plant earlier
in cold weather and later in mild
weather, and shuts it of at night.
