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.

models of the Victory Six line have
been announced by Dodge Broth

signing the changes, engineers
have retained the Victory Six road'
ability featured by its low center

appearance.
Mechanical changes of the im
proved Victory Six models include
an engine temperature indicator

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

the windshield. The height and
length of the sedan models and
coupe-brougham have been In
creased to the greatest head and

Doors of the sedans hare been

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

are that the year of 1928 will roll
up a total of 75,000 ears produced

MEXICO TO HELP

MEXICO CITY. Oct. 20. (Spe

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
