COKETURNISHES ! BEST BEAT FOR MODERN HOMES Citizens Gas Company Official Says Coal Waste Is Removed in Ovens, In buying the year’s fuel supply i It is the desire of the purchaser to i get the most possible heat-giving mai terial for the least amount of money, i To do this it is necessary for him to ! remember that the only heat-giving , element in coal Is the carbon. Indianapolis by-product coke eoni tains the carbon of coal from which 'lt is made. The constituents of bi ! tuminous coal are volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash and sulphur. The volatile matter la driven off during | the carbonizing process in the coke oven. The selection of coal for the ; production of coke Is very important for the coke will be only as good as j the coal that goes Into it. The coals most suitable for use by by-product j coking plants are found in Southern West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and • southwestern Virginia. The high volj atile and Pocahontas are finely pulj verixed before being charged into the ; coke oven, so that they may be intii mately miexd, thus assuring a uniform j product, for the Pocahontas coal adds ! strength to the coke, the mixture ’ containing from 25% to 30% of Pocahontas for that reason. After the vol- : atile matter (smoke) is eliminated from j the coal the residue remaining in the i oven is coke, containing about 90% j as compared with about 75% carbon j in the highest grades of Pocahontas. | About three-fourths of a ton of coke ! is obtained from each ton of coal j charged in the oven. Compared with the fixed carbon of ! 90 per cent found in Indianapolis byj product coke. It behooves the con- | sumer to remember that typical Pocai hontas coal has only 75 per cent and [ typical Indiana coal has only 50 per I cent. The advantages derived from burn- ! ir.g coke have been systematically set | forth by F. C. Rastenburg, assistant secretary of the Citizens’ Gas Company: 1. It is light and easy to handle. 2. It is dustless and sootless. 3. It is more efficient than either anthracite or bituminous coal because it contains only a trace of volatile matter, it is low in ash and is entirely free from stones and slate; hence it is higher in fixed carbon, the only fuel value of coal as burned under the conditions obtaining in the household furnace.. 4. It is produced from choice byproduct coking coals carefully selected. 5. It ignites readily, holds fire a longer time, and is easy to regulate, therefore assuring uniform temperature. 6. It does not belch smoke out of the fire door or clog up the flues with soot which may catch fire and en- ; danger the house. HAS ANY ONE SEEN FIDO? Woman Asks Police to Hunt for Dog Stolen From Home.

Oil Burner Makes Home Heating Easy W. D. LONG Introducing to Indianapolis people an effective oil burner as well as the first refrigerating plant for home use, W. D. Long, 144 E. Ohio St., holds an unique place in the residence equipment line! The Williams Oil-O-Matic burner, distributed by this firm, is adapted to use of all grades of fuel oil, differing from the average burner In that it burns low grade oil. This was the only feature of the burner to be proved; it already had cleanliness, even temperature and minimized care in operation, in Its favor. Tests have shown it to be opjrated at a considerable saving. Selling the Williams 011-O-Matlo has been a pleasure as well as a business because of the worthiness of the burner, Mr. Long said. This, no doubt, had much to do with the steady growth of sales. Customers have had burners installed then moved Into other homes; almost Invariably they have had the burner installed in the second house. Owners have been more enthusiastic about the burner the second and third years of use than during the first. The uncertainty of the coal situation during the past few months has also done much to strengthen the sale of the oil burner. Mr. Long thinks the people are always sure of getting sufficient oil and it seems tc be rather doubtful whether they will get coal when they want it. The business done by this firm during the last several weeks ha*

been much better than that of the same period last yoar showing that the burner has been recognized as a successful medium of heating. Many persons are having the 011-0 Matio Installed in old heating plants and persons building new homes, in many Instances are planning no other type of heat, except the oil burner. ‘HOLD-UP’ DISAPPEARS Story of Man Surrounded by Bandits Proves Unfounded. Following investigation, police today said a holdup supposed to have occurred In N. Emerson Ave. near Twenty-First St. early Wednesday night was unfounded. S. L. Ping, living at N. Emerson and Twenty-first St., told police that a man, woman and girl came to his home and told him a man was standing in Emerson Ave., about a square south, with his hands above his head, and four or five men around him. No trace of the hold-up or of persons who reported It could be found.

and chairs, while the bright chintz curtains add a delightful note to this cheery, clean-looking kitchen. The upstairs plan calls for three bedrooms, a hall and bath. Circassion walnut Is used In one bedroom with the note of color achieved in the blue drapes and linen appointments. Ivory furniture in another room has a happy background in the rose drapes and appliqued linens. The bathroom is snow white. Its tiled floor and sidewalls reflect cleanliness. The fixtures are simply designed and well placed vith shower equipment, well planned lighting and all other conveniences that make for a comfortable bath room. Opening from the bathroom is a balcony. Here one has a chance to see the copper downspouting and guttering used all over the house. All of the hardware as well as this copper downspouting was furnished by the Vonnegut Hardware Company and assures a permanency and satisfaction too often slighted in the construction of a home.

MGS COMPANY HAS QUICK GROWTH Railroad Men's Building Organization Helps Many, A man with a vision, backed by determination and energy, has been responsible for the wonedrful growth of the Railroad Men's Building and Savings Association, which has helped more persons to own homes In Indianapolis than any other organization. W. T. Cannon, president of this great institution, founded in 1887, reporta that last year 1,500 new homos were built; that 1.725 homes were purchased under this plan of financing. On Dec. 31, 1887, the assets of the company were $5,017.90, and on Dec. 31, of last year, the assets were $28,314,261.36; each year has shown i a constant growth. "This company,” said Mr. Cannon, was organized by officers and employes of the railroad, to provide a sat depository for savings. It has grown until it includes persons from I ery walk of life. “We lend money only on first mortgages and on the valuation as set by our own appraiser. Our loans never exceed 65 per cent of the appraised value. Straight interest is charged and not lees than )1 on each ! SIOO of the principal must be paid j each month. ‘‘Unless a man has Inherited con- | siderable money or is especially lucky •it is almost impossible for him to save u penough money to buy a home and pay for it at the time: for that reason the average person appreciates ! the xm-vlr.e that we render.” BUILDING ACTIVITY MAY BRATWINTER Coburn Advises Home Owners to Keep Houses Repaired, Because of the shortage of building resulting from war conditions, the building business in Indianapolis has been usually brisk throughout the year and, according to A. Coburn, owner and manager of the Michigan Lumber Company, 939 E. St. Clair St., there will be a continuance of operation through the late fall and winter. Even if the weather is such as to prohibit outdoor work, Mr. Coburn said labor skilled In building work will find plenty of Indoor work to keep them busy. Repair work has fallen badly in arrears because of the failure to get workmen. Men have been tied up in new construction and were unable to give short Jobe their attention. Repair of homes should not be neglected, for it means depreciation of the speediest k|jd. People should begin now to take an Invoice of all the repairs they need and arrange with competent workmen to take care of their work as soon as they are through with new construction. “The price of lumber,” said Mr. Cobum. “has remained steady and we cannot predict any great change In the near future. Although many homes are now being built of brick and other such materials, it has been shown that about 90 per cent of the homes are built of wood. There seems to be no let-up la the demand for lumber.’*•
