12 The New Oeeoon Statksman, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Mornmg, uctooe-zi, 19 HEATING PLANT HELPS HEALTH Modern Builder Plane Home With View to Both Hy giene and Comfort That the average warm air hnxtinr sTBtera which U more than ten years old is far behind the advance of scientific dlscov- eriea In warm air heating Is the declaration of heating eiperts of the Holland Institute of Thermol- ogy Holland, Mich. "Modern warm air heating is the most economical and efficient of all forms of providing warmth in the home," according to the Ia- stitnte, "but up to ten years ago the Installers of warm air sy temi relied on rule-of-thnmb methods. The pipes of the aver age installation of early days were too small to carry enough heat to warm the rooms properly. Often they were installed without enough slope to insure a contin uous flow of heat. In many la stances, they contained sharp an. rt which retarded passage of air and some installers specified furnaces too email for the houses they had to beat." Science Aids InUllor "Today, howeTer, the up-to-date furnace installer has at his command scientific data that en able him to estimate with decimal accuracy the needs of a home and the ize of the equipment to sup ply those needs. Adequate pipe sizes, sufficient slope to insure ratid travel of warm air. short heat runs and a host of other fac tors are all part of his calcula tion. "Of course, the most important factor in modern warm air heat iag 1 the improved design of the furnace. The old-fashioned warm air furnace contained many joints to leak heat or smoke. Today, the standard warm air furnace is de signed in only seven pieces, or castings, which are fitted together with double cup-Joints sealed with asbestos cement. The modern cone shaped grate effects material sav ings of fuel through improved combustion, which extracts the last possible heat-units from the fuel. The same may be said of the modern slotted firebox. Humidity Supplied "Pilling the water-pan was a task frequently forgotten with the old warm air heating plant. The newer practice to provide an automatic humidifier, which may M turned on in the fall and.then forgotten during the rest of the heating season. Whereas the old type waterpan turned a gallon of water a day into healthful mois ture for the air in the home, the new automatic humidifier evapor ates from 3 to 25 gallons a day, making the ideal relative humidity of 40 per cent easy to maintain." The latest advance in the sci ence of warm air heating, accord ing to the review of the Holland Institute of Thermology, is the in troduction of a motor-fan unit which substitutes mechanical pro pulsion of the air for the force of gravity. It provides '"super-circulation" of vaporized .warm air In place of the old gravity circu lation. Thus far, according to the Institute, only the leading pro ducers in the industry have made this improved equipment standard.

VICTORY SIX LINE BODIES ENLARGED linger and roomier bodies af fording greater vision in all closed models of the Victory Six line have been announced by Dodge Broth ers. The new type bodies now in the hands of all dealers are avail able in the sedan, sport sedan, coupe and coupe-brougham. In de signing the changes, engineers have retained the Victory Six road' ability featured by its low center of gravity and sweeping, graceful appearance. Mechanical changes of the im proved Victory Six models include an engine temperature indicator on the dash board, grouped un der the glass panel with gas gauge. oil pressure indicator, speedomet er and ammeter, and the location of the .starting button on the dash beard within easy reach of the driver. Maximum vision for the driver and occupants of the front seat has been effected by an increase ofcTS square inches in the area of the windshield. The height and length of the sedan models and coupe-brougham have been In creased to the greatest head and .leg room for all passengers. . Doors of the sedans hare been widened approximately three Inch es, and are built higher, tjlass area of each front door window has been increased 52 square Inch es. ' ' ' ! Improved interior appoinments of all bodies have been matched with additional attractive color combinations and trimmings. No change in prices will be made. to this - country three hsss- ered rears aaro thev broneht with them ideals of architectural beauty which hare profound ly in- nuesced our methods of house planning. Today, we are still building- some of the older English forms of bowses such as the Tudor type which is; so appropriate to modern conditions. For instance, the five-room Todor house shown here retains the essential features of the old I EnffiMh minor house and ret it is small enough to be built to good advantage on a JLfty foot lot. Stucce .aJ Timber Prom the exterior, the outstand ing, points of interest are the stuc co i and timber walls with the sweeping, gracious root By paint ing the timbers a dark brown and patating thej stucco a soft buff,; 4 mellow effect is attained which will be enhanced if the shingles are stained soft shades of brown. green and red, then laid in such a manner that the hues form irreg ular masses ot color which are so skilfully blended as not to be blatantly noticeable. Window sashes and shutters in a warm blue or a soft bluish green will add an other welcome note of individual ity. On- entering- the house, one finds himself in a large living room made gracious by the generous sized fireplace and the beam of the high-ceiled roof. Woodwork stained m. soft brown, then given several coats of varnish and rub bed down to a soft glow is es pecially appropriate in this type of room. If the walls are painted a sou, neutral tan, the hangings ind rugs caa'lend color and viya- With walls of that hue and wood work of ivory, color accents in light tan can be applied as band ings along the moldings and on the inside of the cupboard doors. The breakfast room, which opens off the kitchen, may be carried out in the same hues. Upstairs are a bathroom and two bedrooms with most adequate closets. Each of the bedrooms with its three exposures will be cool and comfortable and yet will be light. Casement windows with quaint, small panes open outward.

Enormous Demand The record breaking demand which haa led to the Hupmoblie plant expansion now announced set In with the introduction of tLe new Century Six last October. It was enhanced materially with the appearance of the Century Eight ued heavy demand for Hupmoblie cars which has been causing un broken series of new monthly rec ords for production and shipment ever since the Century Sixes and Eights were introduced last win ter, the Hupp Motor Car Corpora tion announces that contracts have been let for a new unit of its De trolt plant, which, it Is stated, will double the shipping capacity of the company. Operations on the new building 4ml re to De posnea as rapidly as contractors can carry on the work and it Is predicted by company of ficials that the structurerill be ready for occupancy by the first of the year.- Ground, has already been broken and excavation is well underway. An Additional Fnit The additional unit, which is to be of concrete slab construction. Is conveniently located on property recently acquired by the company just east of its main plant. Desire show liberal provision for storage of new cars while awaiting ship ment after they come off the pro duction line, as well as adequate space for the- Hupmoblie engineer ing division, which will be quar tered in the new building. The plans provide for an eight story building, fronting a little mdre than 200 feet on. Mt. Elliott avenue and running back to a depth of approximately 150 feet. Seven of the eight floors will be devoted to car storage purposes, the top floor being given over to offices of the engineering depart ment and the basement housing lartty of the two lines was still further stimulated by the enthus iastic reception extended to the 1929 Century cars when they were presented early in August. As a result, the sales of Century cars, in their first nine months reached a volume considerably larger than any ever attained by the company in an entire year of its twenty year history,, and indications now are that the year of 1928 will roll up a total of 75,000 ears produced and shipped, compared with a pre vious high mark of barely 45,000.

MEXICO TO HELP BUILD HIGHWAY MEXICO CITY. Oct. 20. (Spe cial) Delegates to the Second National Mexican Highway con gress and exposition left Mexico City today after a two weeks in spection of highways in Mexico under the auspices of the Pan American Division - of the Amer ican Road Builders' .association. Several hundred delegates from twelve countries attended the con gressj, of which two hunderd and ntty were from the United States, Assurances that Mexico is anxious to cooperate with the United States in the completion of a Pan American highway were given the delegates by President Plutarco Elias Calles and President-elect Emllio Portes Gil. ' i ne construction or such a highway would be the strongest poslble bond to cement the friend ship of the two republics," Presi dent Calles told the delegates. The budget for the current year contains ten million pesos -for highway construction. During the exposition held in Mexico City in conjunction with the highway congress approxi mately 90,000 persons visited tbe 119 exhibits, the majority of which were of American manufac turers, showing the latest methods and equipment for highway con struction. DODGE BROTHERS HIT RECORD MM Striking his head on a beam, causing him to become dizzy and lose his balance, John Swift was probably fatally Injured when he fell 26 feet from a scaffold at Mill City Every once in a while It occurs to us, in our Innocent, untutored way, that there is something of a discrepancy somewhere between the prices that the farmer gets for his produce and the prices the ultimate consumer pays for it. Roseburg News-Rerisw. Nitroglycerine Is said to be a euro for seasickness. Somebody thumps yon on the back After-yon take a dose and the trouble is over. Saginaw -News Shipments of Graham Brothers trucks from Dodge Brothers fac tories in August, set a new record for any month In 1928, exceeding July this year by 10 per cent, and a 60 per cent increase over Aug ust, 1927. The figures represent the combined shipments of the plants in Detroit, Toronto, Evens vllle; Ind., and Stockton. Califor nia, the latter plant reporting the best month in history. "We accept this record as con clusive evidence of general public acceptance of Graham Brothers six cylinder trucks, commercial cars and motor coaches,' said John R. Lee, general sales man ager. "Our bank of unfiled or ders continues to represent an un precedented .volume, and we an ticipate that September shipments will show substantial gains over September,, a year ago. The Increased volume of 'busi ness is reflected Jy. the-, fact that retail deliveries of Canadian deal ers were three and one-half times greater in August than In August. 1927, while shipments to overseas dealers showed an Increase of 43 per cent In the same period. With the recent announcement of the 3 -ton tracks Grahaa BroUu ers has Invaded newfields in com mercial hauling, and now offers a line of trucks and commercial cars in six capacities, said to meet the needs of 9 6 per cent of all business. . DRY FUEL GIVES DETTER MILEAGE On a long, hard trip when you want to make time, when you want to hold down expenses then it la you Watch your motor fuel most closely. And what you learned on a trip like that will give you valuable pointers on the daily operation of your car at home. Reliable checks on ' gasoline mileage on long runs show unus ual results when the fuel used is Shell 400, the new "dry" gas. Be cause Shell 400 goes completely vaporized into the cylinders, it burn's evenly and thoroughly. More .of it goes into' power, none is. wasted. Ordinary "wet" gaso line, on the contrary, is only part ly vaporized when it enters the engine. 1 so that? a considerable portion of Its condenses on cylin der walls and drains. Into the crank case. The use of Shell 400 has been found to give greater mileage for the same amount of fue Ithan ordinary "wet" gasoline gives. That means a saving : In money. Motor experts also say that mo tors function better with .Shell 400 since this "dry" gasoline does not dilute the lubricating oil. "Wet" gasoline that drains down the cylinder walls, vwash ing off the oil that Is heeded to keep cylinders and pistons cool, seriously affects motor operation. Bread War Seen As Probable For . City Of Portland PORTLAND, OreJ Oct, 20 (AP) A "bread war was pre dicted here today' In certain sec tions of the baking . business, as the result of three large baking companies placing on the market last Monday a new loaf of bread, selling two cents below tbe price of the standard loaf, and action by several other companies i meeting the new price schedule. The new loaf is being whole saled at six cents for the pound loaf and eight cent for the 1 pound loaf, in place of the eight and 12-cent charges for the stand ard loaves under the old schedule.
