Liquid SCOT Remover
Combots Oil SIudee,
Deters Deterioration
By HiIson Munsey

SCOT and carbon scale will form on
the heating surfaces in oil burners
and reduce the efficiency of the
heating unit. There are number
of preparations that are sold to
overcome this trouble. The general
method is to spray the material into
the combustion chamber.
A new kind of SCOT remover is
now on the market for use with oil
fuel which eliminates the need for
spraying and at the same time
makes it unnecessary to repeat that
performance at regular intervals.
It is a chemical mixture in con-
centrated form which is put in the
tank at the time the oil supply is
renewed.
AS the fuel is burned, the SCOT re-
mover penetrates to every part OF
the heating surface. This produces
a chemical action on the SCOT and
lowers its burning point enough to
enable the heat from the fuel to
burn it off. All that will be left is a
certain amount of unburnable ash
that is too heavy to leave the COM
bustion chamber and can easily be
removed from time to time during
the heating season.
The action of the SCOT remover is
continuous as long as the furnace
is in operation. The chemical also
acts as a sludge solvent and re-
duces the danger of deterioration
caused by rust and corrosion. 1t is
manufactured to take care of any
kind of oil and any make of burner.
A whole bottle of remover is suf-
ficient for a 1,000-gallon tank and
the markings on the bottle show

First Aid
For Houses
By Roger c. Whitmon
Trisodium Phosphate.

Question: Can trisodium phos-
phate be used for laundering clothes
and cleaning walls? am interested
in saving soap.
Answer-When used in the right
amount, trisodium phosphate can be
used for laundering, painted walls
and woodwork, in the kitchen and
for other cleaning, 1t softens water
and dissolves grease. It should not
be used too strong on painted sur
faces, as in that case it would act
as a paint remover.
You can get this chemical under a
trade name at grocery store in
package form, with full directions
for use printed on the package. I
would also suggest that you can
make your own soap without too
much trouble If you have saved up
kitchen grease.
We made some as an experiment
in our house, using bacon grease,
lye, q little ammonia and water. 1t
turned out very well. Full direc-
tons for soap making are printed
on lye cans.

Research Group
Finds Demand
For $1,000 House
By w. Wodsworth Wood

A detailed analysis of the hous-
ing industry shows the likelihood Of
a 40 per cent increase in home
building during 1947.
So much criticism has been leveled
upon the exaggerated goals of Lead
ers in this industry that it Is wise
to look at the underlying factors
than to glibly quote the possible
totals.
Definite favorable changes have
been appearing constantly upon the
horizon during recent weeks. These
cannot help but intensity the opti-
mism of everyone concerned with
getting veterans and other Ameri-
cans properly housed.
We see more and more evidence
that brick, cement, plumbing fix
lures, pipe, heating equipment and
lighting fixtures will be ready for
greater distribution through normal
channels SO that black markets will
be discouraged and ultimately elimi-
mated. Even lumber, which has been
one of the greatest scarcity items,
appears to be somewhat more plenti-
full. By March or April, lumber in
dustry spokesmen promise that
much greater quantities will be
available to degree that will lessen
greatly the bottleneck. there.
The immediate picture in many
sections is still quite hectic. This is
due to the fact that the tremen-
dous backlog of demand for building
materials has more than absorbed
even the maximum of production up
to now. 1t is gratifying, however, to
be able to see far more favorable
picture in the future. Indications
point steadily 10 an improved pro-
duction that gradually will meet
and overtake current extreme de-
mands.
When that state is reached, there
is sure to be a normal and gradual
decline in prices. An outstanding
