Music and Carpet-Weaving.
It is fairly well known that in cer
tain parts of the world natives refuse
to work at roadbuilding and kindred
pursuits unless they have the accom
paniment of music. The part played
by music in sailors' tasks is common
knowledge. Less known by far is the
role of music in carpet-weaving, and
its delicate adjustment to the various
colors involved. In British India the
carpets are woven o a particular
tune. The custom harks back to
time immemorial. The leader of the
group chants the song in a monoto
nous, quasi-liturgical style, and the
song varies according to the color of
the carpet, being repeated by all the
weavers in a chorus. If the general
color of the carpet is pale, the chant
is monotonous; if it is a bright hue,
the chorus becomes animated.

ARefrigerater for
the Automobile
It is not too early in the year to
consider next summer's automobile
trips and luncheons, since the equip
ment for such little festivities can
fiequenlly be used in the home most
conveniently. Particularly does this
apply to .the little refrigerators
which, intended for use in an auto
mobile, fit in admirably with the
furnishings of a small apartment.
This refrigerator is distinctly for
tunate in its ice chamber, since this
keeps ice unmelted for 24 hours. The
chamber can he slipped along in the
ice .box so that it can be place
either at one end or elsewhere, thus
making the packing of the food i
simple task.
The refrigerator may be had with
either a zinc or a white enamel lin
ing; the enamel is perhaps prettier
to look at, but the zinc is more praCr
tical, since it remains unscratchejj

Gf eater Efficiency Through Slots
ON THE inside lower section of the firepot of the Colton
Pipeless Furnace slots will be found. These slots furnish
oxygen to the fuel and makes it pass through the fuel body.
The hot fire is in this way maintained clear to the sides of the
firepot. In the ordinary furnace, which does not have this feature,
the air is drawn up through the center of the grate and fuel body,
making the fire very hot in the center, but not at the edges. Often
ashes collected, which to some degree insulated the walls of the
firepot. In the Colton Pipeless, ashes cannot collect there is,
more fire and greater heat.
The Colton
Pipeless Furnace
Delivers uniform heat to every room in the house, in mild weather
and in the dead of winter. The heat travels directly up through
the furnace and through the single combination register to the
rooms above. Here it passes along the ceilings to every room in
the house, and as it cools, it drops to lower levels until it returns
along the floors to the furnace, where it is again heated, mois
tened and sent up to the rooms.
Positive circulation is assured, because the furnace operates on a
natural law, that hot air rises and cold air falls. There will be
circulation as long as there is any fire in the furnace.
Owners rejoice in the wide feed door of the Colton Pipeless
Furnace. It takes a live-sized shovelful of coal or a frig chunk
when the furnace is being banked for the night. It lessens the
dirt, and mess in the furnace room, and saves many tempers.
This feature only illustrates the thoughtfulness and care with
which the Colton is constructed and designed. It is built to stand
hard service. There are extra heavy fire, bowl apd grates,
unusually sturdy casings, one-piece base, etc. The walls of the
combustion chamber are straight up and down to make the fur
nace chamber self-cleaning, and they are fluted to give greater
radiation surface.
The Colton is easily installed in one day. It is ideal for old homes,
as it requires no cutting, altering or excavating. It can readily
be installed in a vegetable cellar without damage to the vegeta
bles. The absence of pipes means a cool cellar, as" well as a great
saving in heat. It is equally delightful in new homes.
Install your Colton now at present prices. If you are not ac
quainted with the Colton dealer nearest you, write us for his name.
