Figure 4. | Home Heating Plant Operation. ©71In figure 1 the usefully applied heat is represented as 50 per cent. This, perhaps, is greater than is met usually in house heating practice. : Forty per cent of the heat available from complete combustion of all the coal contained in the firepot is rep- resented as chimney loss. Five per cent is a radiation and minor loss, with the remaining 5 per cent charge- _able to the ash-pit. In figure 2 all losses are larger than tmose in figure 1. Consequently, the usefully applied heat is less. | The increased ash-pit loss may be due to thin fires, excessive quantity “of fine coal, or poor handling of the fire. Too long firing periods and too heavy charges with inattention to “eperation of the draft controls cause increases in loss due to soot. Thin fires, leaks, open fire doors cause ‘Rhigh chimney losses. Poor air circu- Tation, faultv dampers and improper “er insufficient insulation of the plant Ancrease radiation losses. - Figure 3 indicates poor operation.

A series of luncheon meetings have been arranged for the associate divi- sion of the Washington Real Estate Board.

Gaines, newly elected chairman of the associate division, | which comprises the salesmen and employes of the active members of the board. This 1s an fnnovation in this associa- tion’s work. The division is preparing to go ahead with a number of impor- tant topics which will be brought up by Ara Marcus Daniels.) +With consequent low r useful heat ! for discussion during the November 5, 1927, Dear Mr. and Mrs. Prospect: Last week the keeper of the Treasure Chest intro- duced to me “The Gobbler,” and he confidentially told me that he was selected by a buildér to practically give away 3 beautiful detached homes on Van Buren Street for about $10800 Sunday after 11 AM. This tip is the best proposition coming to my atten- tion for two weeks, and as I am looking out for you I think you ought not miss this opportunity to meet “The Gobbler,” as he will treat you right. If you pluck one of the Gobbler’s feathers you can do the rest on his anni- versary, “Thanksgiving Day,” in one of these wonder houses. As mentioned in my last letter to you, my fee is the pleasure of seeing you meet the “Gobbler.” Very truly yours, “THE SNOOPER.” P. 8. Drive out Ga.
