i YOUR FURNACE AND AUTO
ARE. COUSINS
To get the most good out of your
heating system, the fundamental
rule is to treat it as a process that
conforms to certain laws of na
ture. In other words, you should
cooperate with these laws of na
ture; not work against them.
! For instance, heat is the by-prod
uct of a combustion process in
which carbon (fuel) combines the
oxygen (air)—a sort of boy-meets
girl affair. It is no different ir
your furnace than it is in your
auto engine, except that one is de
signer! to harness the combustion
for heating while the other uses il
for power.
Think of the ash pit draft lid as
the accelerator of your furnace
Consider the check lid in the smoke
stack as the brake. When you open
the front draft lid, you’re stepping
on the gas. When you open the
check lid, you’re putting on the
brakes. When either of these con
trols is in closed position, it is in
neutral.
' Always have one or the other of
these controls in neutral. If both
were open at the same time you
would be pushing down on the ac
celerator with the brakes on. get
ting nowhere and laying yourself
open to trouble.
i Make sure that the draft and
check lids fit snugly, and that they
work freely. Turning the job over
to an electric thermostat is the
ideal way of having these control?
work automatically with watchdog
thoroughness.

The Hallway Says
Hello
Grand Rapids Furniture Museum Photo, j
When a visitor walks into a
lome, the first sight which greets
lim is the hallway. As it should,'
t expresses the personality of its
>wner. A cluttered messy hallway
ndicates an untidy way of life,
vhile in contrast, an entrance which
s gracious and inviting is a sure
tign of a cordial welcome.
No matter how small the area I
vhich makes a front hallway, it is
tlways possible to give it a distinct
>ersonality. Perhaps there is room
!or only one piece of furniture —1
i chest, a bookcase, a small table,
( >r just a chair — but be sure that
:hat one article is well built, has
jood lines, and is distinctive. ,
1 Whether the entrance be large
)r small, you will find that wall
paper adds a great deal to the
jecorative scheme. In the case of
i small hallway it may well be the
entire decorative touch, for even if
there is no room for furniture,
wall paper eliminates bareness and
gives the entrance a dressed-up ap
pearance. In a large hall wall
paper will give background to set
iff furniture advantageously.
