ORDERING COAL IN ADVANCE OF NEED ISJJRGED More Time Permits Better Service to Customer, Coal Club Says. Ordering coal at least a day or two ahead of actual need, to assure satisfactory service, today was urged by members of the Retail Coal Club, Inc. of Indianapolis, 217 Medical Arts building. Customers who order coal ahead of their immediate needs receive better prepared coal and much better attention at the home, it was pointed out. Immediate delivery orders many times work a hardship upon , the men making deliveries, as it means they must be out in all kinds of weather, and it also increases the cost of doing business because of necessity of maintaining extra equipment for “special delivery,” this extra cost frequently being represented in the cost of coal to the consumer. Sudden cold snaps usually result in some dealers having as many as 500 orders for immediate delivery in one day. This requires employment of many extra delivery men who are paid by the ton, instead of by the day, as are regular delivery men, and consequently service is not as good as the dealer would wish. On a recent Saturday dealers received numerous orders as late as 6 p. m. for delivery that night. A checkup of the coal bin and ordering a few days before the supply is exhausted will relieve coal dealers of a great burden, it was said. " The Retail Coal Club is composed of'about seventy-five coal dealers, representing approximately onehalf of the coal dealers in the city. Purposes of the club are to place the coal business on a satisfactory basis for both coal users and dealers. One of its principal tenents is the delivery of the exact kind of coal the customer has ordered.

MOTOR UPKEEP BATES SUP BY Service Motor Inn Offers Monthly Tallies. The old. adage that time flies is one that the motorist can consider in connection with motor car upkeep, according to officials of the Service Motor Inn, 130 South Capitol avenue. Ordinarily, forgetting how fast the time goes, the average motorist attempts to remember all the details of the proper systematic check of vital points of his car. The results frequently are neglect and abuse beyond repair. One way to keep track of dates when these things should be looked after is to write them down and follow the schedule closely. A better way is to drive your car into the Service Motor Inn and leave it while shopping, at least once a month. There, skilled attendants, who know what' should be done, will give it the proper attention. Savings on upkeep will be surprising. The Service Motor Inn maintains a complete “one stop” service station. This includes washing, storage, greasing, tire service, battery service, accessories, wrecking service, brake service, ignition and carburetor service, available twenty-four hours a day.

Distillation Only Method Insuring, Purity of Water

Boiling Leaves Residue of Foreign Matter in Liquid. Distillation of water, properly performed, is the only method by which water can be rendered free of all impurities, according to J. L. Schmidt, manager of the Aquos Products Company, 1128 East Tenth street, producers of distilled water. Many people who realize danger of using impure water, boil it, but, aside from destroying some of the disease germs, eliminating some gases and depositing a portion of the carbonate of lime, always make it more impure, Schmidt said. It is the water which is evaporated, passing off as steam, that is nearly pure, not the remains, which contain practically the same objectionable content in a smaller amount of water. Scientific investigation has proved he said, that boiling kills only the feeblest and least injurious germs. The Aquos Products Company, 1128 East Tenth street, has been producing, for a number of years, a distilled water that is completely purified and free from organic and mineral matter, and all bacteria. A simple test to determine purity of water Is to place a few drops of silver nitrate in the water. If a cloudy, milky appearance follows, chlorides are present. Chlorides, Schmidt said, are foreign properties, as far as pure content of distilled water is concerned. Most Indianapolis hospitals use distilled water manufactured by the Aquos company. Pure water hardly is second to pure air as a life-giving and a life-preserving agent. A telephone call to Cherry 5753 will bring a bottle of safe Aquos distilled water to the home or office. FIRM EMPLOYING 125 Industrial Maintenance Concern is Among Largest. More than 125 skilled workmen are employed by the Sinker-Davis Company, 230 South Missouri street, one of the largest and best equipped industrial maintenance firms in the state. Organized seventy-five years ago when hardwood resources of the state first were being exploited, the company was engaged for many years In manufacturing saw mill equipment. With depletion of timber resources, the company, keeping progress with industrial development of Indianapolis, changed to industrial maintenance.

FAIR ACTIVITY IN REALTY MARKET

Medium-Priced Residential Properties Chiefly Are in Demand. The local real estate market continued only fairly active this week, according to the weekly survey of the Indianapolis Real Etate Board. Medium-priced residential properties, according to the board, are in the greatest demand. Sale of five properties within the last few weeeks was announced by Robert Allison of the Allison Realty Company. In one deal the Grinslade Construction Company contracted to build a five-room modern English type bungalow of brick veener construction for Herman E. Otto. The house will be built in the 5900 block on Forrest lane. Its cost will approximate $5,900. A five-room, English type bungalow at 945 Yoke street was sold by Allison, for the Grinslade Company to Harold Hamilton for $4,750, and a lot In the Rainbow Ridge addition at Tibbs avenue and Sixteenth street, owned by the Allison company, was sold to Sam Charles Hoeger. Allison also sold two properties for T. E. Grinslade. One of them, a fiveroom, two-story modern house at 2908 Martfcidale avenue, was purchased by Anna Anderson for $3,200. The other, a five-room bungalow a 1235 West Thirtyfifth street, was sold to Russell E. Kinder for $4,950. Five Lots Sold Five north side lots were sold by Fay C. Cash, realtor.

SLUMP RECORDED IN BUILDING PROJECTS Permits Issued During Week Show Total of Only $19,700. New construction in Indianapolis was almost at a standstill this week, according to a compilation by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board of building permits issued by the city building commissioner. Extremely cold weather the early part of the week was seen as a factor in the situation. Only two small residential projects, one for $2,000 and one for $3,700, were started. The Standard Oil Company obtained a permit to build anew filling station to cost $7,000 at Capitol avenue and North street, and the Meridian and Twelfth Realty Company was issued a permit for $7,000 for an addition at 1136 North Meridian street.

GOLDS CAUSE LARGE LOSS Use of Cups Would Prevent Numerous Cases. The annual “cold bill” looms as large as almost any account on the business ledger, but because the cold is a minor disease the average business man looks on the pay roll loss caused by cold as a petty item. Authorities on business management, according to A. C. Ostermeyer, of Ostermeyer Paper company, 148 Virginia avenue, are of one accord that colds cause a greater loss to industry than any other one thing. Colds are responsible for more absence and low efficiency among employes than any other condition. Investigation of groups of employes disclosed that out of every one hundred workers there were forty-one absences each year due to colds. Hundreds of millions of dollars could be saved by reducing the world's colds by even one third. While science has not been able to isolate the cold germ, it knows that at least 90 per cent of the colds, flu, sore throat and similar diseases enter the body through the mouth. Because of this, there is little doubt that millions of dollars would be saved by eliminating the common drinking glass in offices, factories and store, Ostermeyer said. The Ostermeyer company distributes the Burt conical paper drinking cup. These cups, strictly sani-

M. Embrich to George Heidenriech, of a lot on Pennsylvania street, north of Fifty-eighth street, and the purchase by Otis Free from George B. Dell of a lot on the northwest corner of Broadway and Fifty-seventh street. TWo deals were closed by the firm of Bridges & Graves. Buys Double House In one of them, the company sold to Samuel E. Hamilton a double residence at 3131-33 College avenue, taking in exchange a lot on Seventy-first street in the Meridian Hills addition and a house at 444 South La Salle street. The exchange, totaling approximately $19,500, was negotiated at E. B. Thompson. Frank . Bridges negotiated the sale by M. L. Dorn to the Indianapolis Reed Company of a residence at 2242 Brookside avenue. J. Harry Miles, realtor-builder, announced that work is nearing completion of anew house he is building at 5770 Broadway. The house, which is expected to be finished in about two weeks, has the same floor plan and Is similar in exterior design to the model home, erected by the Indianapolis Homebuilders’ Association, as the centerpiece of the 1929 Realtors’ Home Show. .Building Permits William O’Hhaver, reroof, 1102 Congress, S2BO.

APPEARANCE OF HOME IMPROVED BY RIGHT ROOF Item Too Often Neglected by Builders, Asserts J. C. Mattingly. Too often home builders neglect the importance of giving anew dwelling a roof in keeping with the remainder of the house, Joseph C. Mattingly, president of the Henry C. Smither Roofing Company, 430 South Meridian street, said today. Much of the character of any dwelling is in the roof, and from the standpoint of beauty, roofing tiles have every advantage, he said. The roof never escapes observation, and it is' wise to select a material which adds charm and distinction to the home, making a pleasing impression upon even the most casual observer. Tiles Are Favored Almost from the time our primitive ancestors discarded the ineffectual protection of roofs of leafy boughs, tiles have been the world’s most favored roofing material. Tiles, or sun-baked plates of beaten clay, were used for roofing in Egypt, Babylon and Assyria, and later by the Greeks and Romans. China and Japan also have used tiles for countless centuries. Introduction of roofing tiles into this country is credited to the old Spanish padres, who brought the knowledge of tile-making to the Pacific coast about the middle of the eighteenth century. While the early forms were crude and rough, the old missions and houses on which they were used today are among the most interesting sights in Southern California. “Imperial vitreous shale tile roofing endows a dwelling with beauty and character that is beyond expectations,” Mattingly said. “Once properly applied, it affords enduring and absolute protection from the elements, being unaffected by climatic changes, and is fireproof.” “The Henry C. Smither Company gladly will furnish any one interested with a list of tile roofs laid by the firm in localities most convenient for inspection, and to offer advice and assistance to any one contemplating building anew home or building, or planning to re-roof their present home or building.” Road Bonds Sold B,y Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Dec. 7.
