Af ANY improvements in fur-J-v-naces, both oil and coal burn-ing types, have been reported in late years, but little change, until recently, has been noted in the coal heating stove, which still is depended upon in mil-lions of homes for warmth and comfort. A late development in this field has brought out an improved coal burning heater. It em-ploys a radically new design in firebox and heating flues, advanced ideas in combustion engineering and other improvements that result in great-er heating efficiency, fuel econo-my, and much less operating at-tention. A desirable feature of this coal heater is that it may be loaded with 100 pounds of coal at one time. The coal, stored in the magazine, gradually feeds of its own weight to the bottom firebed, the heat mak-ing coke of the upper coal layers, when bituminous coal is used. The gases formed in this coking proc-ess escape through newly designed flues in the firebox and are con-sumed by the flames which travel up outside the fuel chamber. Even the gases released on top of the fuel bed burn as the flames pass over the top. The coal, or coke into which it is transformed, slow-ly works to the bottom firebed where it is consumed, leaving a fine ash and no clinkers. Because' of its large fuel capac-ity and the advanced construc-tion principles employed, it will heat all day and all night in cold-est weather without refueling. In mild weather this heater will hold fire for several days. All with very little attention. Users gen-erally need to start a fire but once a season. Regulation of heat is governed by a simple adjustment of drafts. Because it holds fire so well and so long, the home where it is used is warm every morning. Because of this feature the stove has been named Warm Morning. One who has struggled on a cold morning to build a fire can well appreciate the significance of the name. Along with the standard models which hold 100 pounds of coal, there is a larger heater with nearly 200 lb. coal capacity made especially for heating schools, churches, lodge halls and ware-houses. Adv. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS By Edward C. Wayne Army, Navy and Commercial Airlines Suffer in Series of Plane Crashes; 'Reuben James' Sinking, F.D.R. Speech Draw Formal Statement From Hitler (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinion! art expressed In these columns, they nre those of the news analyst sal not necessarily of this newspaper.) I (Released by Western Newspaper Union. I t n- - 4-- - ' , : 3 L-J-J s v " Troops who took over the Bendix, N. J., plant of Air Associates, at the command of President Roosevelt are shown camping in a field near the plant. The order for the plant's occupation came in the interests of "national defense" according to official sources as Air Associates holds millions of dollars' worth of defense contracts for various kinds of avia-tion equipment. Production had been held up because of difficulty be-tween the company and onion leaders, but work got under way soon after the troops moved in. FIRST LOSS: Sinking of 'James' First American naval loss of the war was the Reuben James, 1,000-to-n destroyer, 20 years old, sent to the bottom of the Atlantic with an undetermined loss of life somewhere west of Iceland. Details were shrouded with great-est secrecy by the navy, who finally disclosed that 44 men, apparently all enlisted men, were saved. Whether more would later be res-cued was problematical. She carried about 120 officers and men. Whether she had previously encountered and battled success-fully with submarines was a matter of conjecture. One news service had obtained a purported letter, from one of the sailors on the Reuben James which stated that the vessel had sunk two submarines, "maybe more." PLANES: Keep Crashing Started off by the crashing of five army pursuit planes, this disaster seemed the signal for a series of tragic losses, which had reached a new record for American aviation. A Northwest Airlines plane dropped to earth in a fog, killing 14 persons and hurling the pilot clear. Within 24 hours a American Airlines plane, carrying 20 persons, plummeted to earth in a rainstorm near St. Thomas, Can., and burst into flames. All lost their lives. Less than 48 hours later an army bomber, with five air corps men aboard, fell out of misty clouds into a cornfield near Findlay, Ohio, and burst into flames. The five men were instantly killed. Then it was the navy's turn to an-nounce a disaster. This was the crash of a huge bomber at sea with the loss of 12 lives. The plane was The writer was Leonidas C. Dick-erso-a seaman, who wrote to his aunt in Danville, Va.: "We've been at sea for 42 consecu-tive days, and I've lost lots of sleep. I'll be glad when we're through with this job and I can get some sleep again." The letter, written several weeks before the sinking, said: "We have gotten two subs, maybe more. I have lots to tell you when I see you." Another letter told of a subma-rine attack on the James. It had been written by Harold James Or-ange to his mother,' Mrs. Marie Orange, in Chicago. He said: "I was up on the crow's nest on watch when we were nearing Ice-land and I saw a torpedo. It was coming right for us. I gave the alarm and we started It missed us, sped right by. I saw not one, but several submarines." REACTION: In Many Quarters Following the sinking of the Reu-ben James the reactions TEoIlowed swiftly, drawing certain powerful figures closer to the President's for-eign policy, and bringing from Hit-ler's headquarters no other state-ment than that "people foolish enough to walk down a railroad track may expect to be run over." Berlin issued a lengthy formal statement from- - Hitler, most of which was devoted to answering the President's Navy day address. He reiterated his statements that the South American map and the document purporting to reveal a Nazi plan to do away with all re-ligion as "nonsensical" and "crude forgeries." He categorically denied that the Reich government had cre-ated either of these items. . The wording of the declarations from the German leader was scanned carefully by foreign corre-spondents, who saw in it the typical Nazi line of argument that their ves-sels had been attacked; that Ger-many was being attacked by the United States, that the U. S. was stamping itself as the aggressor. These words were believed sig-nificant in that it was the usual Ger-man terminology preceding an open break between the Reich and anoth-er nation. It was pointed out that treaties between Germany and her Axis partners called for help in case any member of the three is attacked. 'Declaration ? Hitler, it was believed by the cor-respondents, was simply laying the usual groundwork for a definite hos' tile declaration against this country and its policies. He said: "Herr Roosevelt has been placed before the tribunal for world judgment Qf his acts." The declaration attacked the truth of Roosevelt's statements that the Greer and the Kearny had been attacked by the Germans, and stamped both vessels as the at-tackers. "operating in the Atlantic ocean area." At nearly the same time a American of German extraction was arrested at the Glenn L. Mar--ti- n plant in Baltimore, and con-fessed to be a saboteur of planes, having cut electrical wires in such a way that contacts would be broken at some later date. His deeds had affected more than a hundred planes, though most, if not all of them, had been dis-covered. So cleverly did he hide his work that suspicion had been thrown on hundreds of other em-ployees. It took the FBI agents from July until late October to catch him. REDS: 'Reservoirs' Although the defense lines around Moscow had been bending now and then, the break had not come, and enormous reserves from "manpow-er reservoirs" in Siberia and other parts of the vast country were re-ported as having been hurled into the fray. The United States heard that the first American planes had gone into battle, and had bombed Berlin, a fact which Berlin promptly denied. It was an unquestioned fact that the Reds had, however, some of the newest and largest American bomb-ing planes, easily capable of flights over Berlin and back. The Nazis had broken through into the Crimea, however, and the fall of the whole peninsula, thus opening one narrow and difficult road to the Caucasus, was believed certain. NEUTRALITY: Battle With even its opponents admitting that victory was sure, and editorial writers re-garding it editorially as a fait ac-compli, there still was bitter fight-ing over the measure on the floor of the senate. A notable acquisition of support, however, came when Senator Bridges of New Hampshire, long a foe of the administration's policy, switched over and spoke in behalf of the bill which would remove from the Neutrality act those measures which would prevent arming of mer-chant vessels, and would open all ports to the American flag ships. Another indication of support was the agreement in the senate to push forward action on the bill. This had followed the sinking of the Reu-ben James. Senator Ball of Minnesota, a Re-publican, held that freedom of the seas was necessary for the preser-vation of our liberties; while Sena-tor Clark of Missouri was attack-ing the President, and daring him to ask for a formal declaration of war. Clark said the measure was "in-tended to be and can only be an authorization for a state of war." TURKS: Peacemakers ? President Ismet Inonu of Turkey had announced himself as willing to act as mediator for a negotiated peace. His offer brought a chilly "thanks" from London. Inonu told the Turkish parliament in a speech which was broadcast to the nation that the country's "joy would be unbounded if it could one day become the source of peace which the world awaits and needs." LEADER: Eagle on Top The American Eagle Squadron No. 1 led all units of the Royal Air force in bagging German planes dur-ing October, it had been revealed. The American volunteer pilots had destroyed 9 of the 81 German planes credited to the fighter com-mand for the month. All of the victims of the Eagle fliers were shot down over territory, the dispatches said.

Poe's descrip-tion of it in "A Descent Into the Maelstrom," written about 1840, made travelers avoid the islands for almost 75 years. FIRST-AI- D by Roger B. Whitman (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Attio Ventilation HOME owner has just written A me of having had his old shin-gle roof covered with prepared shin-gles. He expected that the greater thickness of the roof would make his attic cooler, and he was much trou-bled to find that the attic was much hotter with the added roof thiokness than it had been before. The reason was in the greater tightness of the new roof. The old wood shingle roof was probably none too tight, and air could, circulate through it. This circulation carried off heated air in the attic, and air circulation in an attic is, of course, one of the best methods for keeping an attic cool. The new roof shut off this circula-tion, so that heated air could not es-cape. One good move would be to put louvres in the attic walk, as high up toward the peak of the roof as possible. My own attic has three peaks, and a year or two ago I put a louvre high up in each one; a kind that has slanting slats to keep out rain, and protected with in-sect screening. These stay open all summer. They can be closed in winter by hinged doors. Ii the own-er who wrote me would do some-thing of the sort in his own attic I am sure that his difficulty would be overcome. Old Floor Finish. Question: During the years, the floors of our school have accumu-lated a thick coating of dirt, oil, seals, wax, etc., that we now wish to remove. A floor machine would cut off too much wood. Would some chemical do the job without injuring the wood, which is maple? As we have found floor finishes to be un-satisfactory, we are inclined to use the floor bare. What do you think? Answer: If your floors have never been scraped, one scraping with a sanding machine should not weaken them, and would be the best treat-ment. At a hardware store you can get an alkali paint remover and floor cleaner that will take off all the old finish. I would not recom-mend bare wood for such use. You can get excellent results with shel-lac when properly used. Shellac should be pure and of top quality and should not be more than six months old. Age can be told by a date or a code mark on the label. Thin it with good quality denatured alcohol in the proportion of 2 parts of alcohol to 3 parts of shellac. Ap-ply in two coats to bare wood; it will penetrate and the final finish will be hard and resistant. Casement Windows. Question: Will you tell me if case-ment windows are practical? Are they better than the wood frame type, which have weatherstrips? Answer: Casement windows are made in steel or wood. One advan-tage of a casement type of window is that it may be opened to the full extent of its area, which may be particularly desirable in the sum-mer. A possible disadvantage of a window of this kind may have in the winter is that it may be difficult to open a small enough area for venti-lation during very cold weather. Otherwise, there is no particular ad-vantage or disadvantage in either types of windows. All of them can be weatherstripped. For certain ar-chitectural effects it may be more desirable to use a casement than a double hung window. Basement Wall Finish. Question: Some time ago you spoke of a finish containing salt, used for basement walls. Would this be suitable for the walls of a basemept apartment, which some-times are damp? Answer: You probably refer to the use of salt in whitewash, by whicTi ordinary whitewash is im-proved and made less likely to rub. Use IS pounds of salt to 50 pounds of lime for a basement apartment, especially with damp walls, this would not be suitable. It would be much better to remove all present finish and to apply cement paint, which is intended for masonry, and resists dampness. It can be had in white and in colors. Rcfinishing Furniture. Question: I have an old birdseye maple dresser and chest of drawers that I should like to reflnish in pale green enamel. How? Answer: Go over the surfaces first with medium coarse sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood and then with fine sandpaper. With all of the gloss thus removed, and the surface smoothed, put on one or two coats of enamel undercoater and follow with a finish coat ot enamel. The undercoater and the enamel should be made by the same manufacturer. If the present finish is chipped and marred, take it all off to the barewood with a varnish remover. Directions on the label should be carefully followed. Waxing Floors. Question: My floors were newlv scraped and given two coats of shel lac. I find that constant application of wax takes away the fresh look Will the floors be spoiled if I 0 I the wax from now on' Answer: Floors do not need con- tinual waxing. Frequent polishing should keep them in good condition with new wax needed only whon wear begins to show in doorways and similar places where heavy. Wiping the floor with liquid wax-- not water wax-sh- ould remove some of the present heavy cot j Tip for Hostesses When a hostess is serving a din-ner or luncheon without help, it is very convenient to serve the first course in the living room.
