The spotlight of domestic interest
these days is on fuel. How to keep
warm this winter?" is the question
on every ones lips, for 1t seems cer-
tain we are not going to have as
much fuel as we want to heat our
homes. The degree of comfort we
enjoy, therefore, will rest on our
ability to squeeze every bit of heat
out of the fuel we can get. Fortu-
nately, there are an unbelievable
number of ways of stretching the
fuel dollar. and preventing unnec-
essary waste.
The first step to insure the best
performance from your heating
plant this winter is to have it thor
oughly inspected, cleaned and over
hauled by an expert. Other devices,
useful information, and artful ways
for getting around possible fuel
shortages follow:
If an excessive draft in an oil
fired or stoker- fired heating system
supplies more air than is actually
needed for efficient combustion in
stall special draft control In your
chimney or smokepipe
Storm Sash Important.
Fuel oil consumption can be re-
duced on some old-type oil burners
by installation of air mixers.

house may cut fuel consumption
about Is per cent.
Correct adjustment of controls
plays an important part in maxi
mum fuel consumption, so have
an experienced heating contractor
check these periodically.
Leaks in the joints of boilers and
in the smokepipe are serious causes
of waste, so make all joints tight
with special furnace cement applied
externally, or with stop-leak COM
pounds, applied internally.
CIogged Filters.
Clogged filters in warm air heating
systems restrict air circulation, caus-
ing higher fuel bills, so have filters
checked and replaced, If necessary.
New fiberglass filters are mex
pensive, fireproof and odorless.
Ceiling insulation alone can often
result in saving Of 80 per cent of
fuel
You can .insulate an unfinished
attic yourself, but side wall insula-
ton must be blown in an existing
house with special equipment
Fuel savings in house fully in
sulated, both side walls and ceiling,
with 4-inch mineral wool insulation
may run as high as 55.4 per cent,

New Plumbing
| Reflects Needs
Created by War

The plumbing industry has de-
signed new and durable fixtures for
military and naval housing, for
small new homes and for large old
homes being converted into multi
family defense dwellings, points out
the Plumbing and Heating Indus
tries Bureau.
One of these is an enameled cast
iron recessed, single-shell bathtub
that is enameled inside only. The
front apron has been left off to con-
serve materials. There is also a
built-in mixer fitting with spout
outlet to permit tempered hot and
cold water to flow in the tub.
A small shelf-back lavatory Of
enameled cast iron is another of the
new bathroom fixtures 1t is small
in size for economy of space, but has
a large water area. The shelf is
convenient for toilet articles. The
lavatory, like the tub, has a single
spout which provides tempered

War Economy
Helped by FHA
Insured Loans
Total Of 1921 Made
During August Under
Title | Program

Private institution loans insured
by the Fedel al Housing Admins
tration are playing an important
part in wartime economy, Abner H.
Ferguson, administrator, said today.
Under Wartime Title I of the pro-
gram private lancing "is being
made available on a sound basis"
for the following essential types of
activity: Remodeling or conversion
OF existing structures to provide ad-
ditional living accommodations for
war workers. essential repairs or
maintenance needed to keep exist
ing dwellings in sound working
condition and conversion of oil
burners or other fuel-saving meas
ures which assist tn, Nations fuel
oil conservation campaign.
32,297 Loan, in August.
During August total of 32,297
loans, amounting to $11 1876, 1872,
were reported to the FHA for in
surance under the Title I program
the commissioner reported For the
first eight months of this year a
total of 300.042 Title loans, aggre-
eating $112,473,579, were reported
for insurance.
For remodeling projects which
provide additional living accommo-
dations for war workers loans up
to 5000 are available under Title I,
to be repaid in equal monthly in
stallments over periods of as long
as seven years. Qualified projects
of this type must be located in the
critical war housing areas designated
y the President, within walking
distance of the war activities served
or OF adequate public transportation
Occupancy preference must be ex-
tended to war workers.
Remodeling for war workers is
strongly favored by governmental
authorities, because it affords a
means of meeting part of the criti-
cal war housing need with mini
mum consumption of scarce war
materials. Mr.. Ferguson said. If
assistance in Sc ring critical ma
terials is needed for such projects,
application for !. War Production
Board preference rating order can
be filed with the local FILA Office.
If critical materials are on hand,
application must be filed in similar
manner for authority to proceed

less than 5000 less than $1,000
in the event that more than five
families are to be accommodated
and new utility connections are not
required.
Essential Repairs.
The second broad phase of the
wartime Title / program essential
repairs and maintenance-is of par
ticular Importance because of the
curtailment of new construction
necessitated by acute materials
shortages and the reservation of
new dwellings for occupancy by war
workers. These conditions make it
imperative that the supply of ex-
listing houses be kept in sound con-
dition for the duration of the war.
Maintenance work and essential
repairs that do not change struc-
tural design are permitted without
further authorization under con-
servation order L-41 Title I loans
