y AIANY ADVANTAGES IN RESIDENCE BASEMENT ‘Tedious Work of ‘Tending Fur- nace’ Eliminated; Leaves No Ashes to Haul * eated's lege rt ereat a large and constantly grow- ing demand for devices that will lighten domestic duties and drudgery. The compactness of the modern house itself coupled with the many modern household conveniences, tend to lighten the burden of housekeeping and enable the housewife to accom- plish more work with less effort and oh eave more aoe for a things which go to make up a happy suc- cessful life. This modern trend has not been confined to the above-stairs living . gon, but has- extended to the sement as well—gas house heat- ing is abolishing the greatest single household nuisance, furnace tending. ». During eight months of the year, home comfort and pleasure is gov- erned by the furnace room. With gas fuel burned in a modern boil- er or furnace designed exclusively for gas, heating cares are banished forever and the entire household en- joys cozy, unfluctuating winter warmth without the slightest effort. Automatic gas heating is so ut- terly carefree that “you can let your pup be the furnace man.” Furnace drudgery is completely banished. You need not even glance at the heating plant for weeks at a time. lo es to Handle With this ideal fuel thre are « neither coal nor ashes to shovel, no. drafts to adjust, no nightly banking down nor early morning firing up, no tiresome trips to tend the furnace— thing to require constant atten- tion and break in on your leisure hours, There are no mussy. fuel de- liveries and ‘no danger of runnin pete foe a sa? ro of aed ln spel ie fuel is int e home, used as neoted and paid for after it has done its work.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1930 CARDRIVER SHOWS SAVANTS SITE OF STONE AGE MADRD Worker Discovers Relics in Uni- versity Excavation and Tells Professors Madri (AP)—Jose Vilorja treet car tickets as a means of livelihood, but in spare hours {hunts curios. Recently he made a Sunday ex- cursion to Moncloa, the suburb where the news university is being built. Poking around in huge piles of dirt thrown up by steam shovels on the site of the athletic stadium, he discovered some peculiar objects. Viloria informed university au- thorities and a special meeting of the directing board was called. King Alfonso presided and funds were granted for archaeological excava- tion. ‘ Professor Hugo Obermaier of Central university and Perez de Barradas, head. of prehistoric inves- tigations for the city counsil, were named to supervise the project. Work has been rushed and approxi- mately one-third of the territory has been investigated with rich find- ings as a reward. Coins, wooden kitchen utensils, ceramics with geometric designs, stone knives, a granite grinding mill, skeletons of bulls, goats, birds and other animals are some of the un- covered objects. “There can be no doubt that a se! tlement existed on this site,” Perez de Barradas said. “It dates around the end of the copper age or the be- ginning of the bronze age, which would indicate the period from 2500-2000 B.C. We have discovered traces of no less than 20 small build- ings used as homes and barn: “From our work I have been able to piece together a picture of the life of these early Madrilenos. The village was surrounded by steep slopes and in the central square were natural fountains where the villag- ers filled earthen water jars. “Although women did much of the manual work and designed the fine examples of ceramics, I believe they enjoyed almost a political equality with men, Their civilization, in gen- as fairly advanced.

Many Washington flockmasters are experimenting with truck trans- portation, as new roads now pierce much of the timber country. If the experiment is successful, motor transportation may be used to take millions of sheep to high, tim- tanges. Sheep flockmasters say hauling by truck to terminal points would reduce the present loss of lambs en route. WILL BUILD MEMORIAL Chicago, Ill, Sept. 4.—John M. Moorhead, former gas man, and Ru- fus L.

Ends dirt, bother and inconvenience ~Meeps Air Fresh, Pure Healthful QUICKLY INSTALLED IN Cottages Bungalows Stores Offices Banks Hospitals Flower Shops Clubs Churches Schools Cafes No Basement By A. R. NELSON (Industrial Salesman and Engineer, Montana-Dakota Power company) Natural gas fuel as a medium for heating is equally economical and desirable for use in-restdences, apart- ment, office or public buildings. It is applicable to any type of heating system whether warm air, hot water | steam or vapor. Because of the fact that it is fuel | n its finished state and is delivered directly to the unit in which it is to be consumed in a highly combus- tible form there is no residue deposit- ed as a result of its burning. This together with the ability of gas to lend itself readily to automatic tem- perature control and to adopt itself to the character of any load condi- tion demonstrates its flexibility and establishes the economy of its use. Also it is desirable because it is a clean fuel and no space need be given up: on the premises to store it nor any residue as a result of its use. Natural gas is rich in heat value, low in unit cost, available when need- ed in any quantity required and is paid for after its use. The meter which records the amount of gas con- sumed is among the oldest of re- cording devices. Invented in 1844 it is so simple in construction and ac- curate in operation that no substan- tial improvements in its design have been possible. since that time. , With natural gas fuel “overheat- ing” and “underheating” are non. istent and the American Gas Asso- ciation is amply justified when it states that, “If it’s done with heat you can do it better with gas.” Echo Is Timed by Mechanical ‘Ear’ New York, Sept, 14.—An “electro- acoustical ear” that translates sound into an electric spark to do one special listening job better than hu- man ears: is described to the Acous- tical Society of America by E, C. Wente and E. H. Bedell, This me- chanical ear tells how Jong an echo lasts, Human ears are not specially accurate at such timing because some hear dying sounds longer than others.
