These old heating outlets not only deny the family the comfort of quick, adequate heating, but their appearance is, as a rule, out of harmony with modern furnishings Old-style raditors may be replac- ed in all rooms at once, group of rooms, or in a single In houses using warm air for heating, registers can be replaced in much the same way, since pres- ent day models are designed to blend with the decor of the post- war era.

LESS BULKY Modern radiators are much less bulky than the older types. They are designed on more slender lines for attractive appearance, and are up to 40 per cent more efficient in heat radiation than their pre- decessors. Combining many of the features of both the radiator and the con: vector is the recently developed "concealed" radiator, which is de- signed to be concealed in a metal or wood cabinet with a grille at the top for air circulation. Fairly narrow in construction, it can eith- er be installed in a shallow recess in the wall and so need not take up much space. Convectors are usually conceal- ed in metal cabinets with an open- ing at the bottom for air to be drawn into the unit, and an out- let grille at the top through which the warm air is discharged into the room. In recent years, something quite new has been added to the range of heating units. It is the base- board panel, which looks like and actually replaces the normal base- board that skirts the room joining floor and walls. Its main advan- tages are its unobtrusive appear- ance and the fact that it spreads, as it were, the heat source along the wall of a room, rather than having it concentrated at one spot. not abused -- no, from South America, ebrews"'.

Dynasty Of Stuyvesant Blue Bloods Has Ended With Death Of Last Heir Before the times of our founding fathers -- Washington, Franklin and their mighty contemporaries -- we had no lack of colorful and memorable characters: John Smith and Pocahontas; Cotton Ma- ther, preacher and witch foe; Miles himself -- and many another. Pieter Stuyvesant, the seventh and last of the Dutch governors of the present New York, is re- membered most vividly for a bluff gyatic all his own. Hard Koppig et, they called him -- today the Rock Head -- because his mind was precisely as flexible as his wcoden right leg with its silver adornments. Old Piet fought a battle that he couldn't possibly win, and then he retired to his farm on southeast Manhattan and founded a dynasty of the bluest blooded millionaires in the world's richest city, writes Walter Monfried in The Milwaukee Journal.

The Dutch had claimed the Hud- son and Delaware territories by virtue of Hendrik Hudson's voy- ages of discovery. Peter Minuit in 1626 had bought Manhattan island from the Indians for $24 worth of beads and ribbons, and Dutchmen settled the Hudson valley up to Fort Orange (Albany), with the Dutch West Indies Co. in control. A clumsy a=d inept agency it was, too, and Stuyvesant's predecessors were little better. Minuit was fired as governor for favoring the pat- roons (the landed gentry).

The law against selling booze to the red men was infrequently observed. h the citizens Stuyvesant's first acts were to re- strict the liquor trade and to en- force Sunday peace and church at- tendance. Later he ordered that the hogs be penned because they were rooting up the wooden walls of the fort. The Dutch were ardent golf- ers even then, and Stuyvesant had to forbid them from playing their game in the streets. At 9 each night, by his order, a bell would signal that the city gates be shut. At 10 the taverns were closed and any patrons inside had to stay there until morning. Stuyvesant played the tyrant started out by keep the citi- zens standing for an hour, with heads uncovered, while awaiting his pleasure. When a group called upon him to offer ideas about de- fence, he told them: "We derive our authority from God and the company, not from a few ignor- ant subjects, and we , alone can call the inhabitants together." A staunch member of the Dutch Reformed church, he forbade members of other faiths to' meet in ie or private, but he couldn't enforce his decree. The Lutherans, for example, had set- ed on Manhattan numbers, and requested a church building and a pastor of their own. Stuy- vesant said no, but they appealed to his superiors in Amsterdam, and after endless debates across the water they won their point.

Stuyvesants have married with members of the Winthrop, Fish and other wealthy families. The late Augustus, with his sis- ters (now dead), inherited $4,000,- 000 and he augmented this by quiet trading. An extremely shy bachelor, he led a life of com- plete seclusion. He had no con- all with relatives or friends. Each day,he took a brief stroll in the neighborhood of his 5th Ave. mansion and each Sun- day he went to St. James Epis- copal Church. On weekdays he often visited St. Mark's, where he would sit alone in the church or inspect the vaults where Pieter and 80 other Stuyvesants were en- tombed.

Af. ter service in Brazil as merchants' agent, he was appointed military governor of Curacao and other West Indies islands, The Portugese eyed those islands hungrily, and Si_yvesant led a force to break their siege on St. Martin island. The expedition succeeded, but a Portuguese cannon ball shattered Stuyvesant's right leg, which was amputated and buried at Curacao, He went back to Holland to re. cuperate and to get his "silver leg", as the new pinion was called from its Bright binding and decora- tion.

'Modern electric ranges", the item stated, 'hold the heat -- especially in their ovens, which are almost always insulated with mineral wool." The use of mineral wool insula- tion as a heat-retaining material for ovens is an excellent example of its racticality in the home. By excluding the cold and retaining the heat in the house, mineral wool can save you countless dollars in fuel bills during the cold weather. Actually, the colder the climate the more money you save by insulat- ing and this has been borne out by extensive research. Made from rock, slag or glass, Holding Of Heat Very Important and consisting of millions of tiny air pockets which give it a light and fluffy texture, al wool is gis oe Jnost economical and advantageous building materials available on the Canadian market. By the very nature of its composi- tion, mineral wool is completely fireproof and offers Jesistance to electrical short circuits, termites, vermin and or rot. Because of these safety and ec- onomy advantages, mineral wool insulation helps lower the insurance risk rating of dwellings and this, in turn, has a direct bearing on mort- gage terms, EUROPEAN ORIGIN The so-called "wild horses" of the Western plains are believed descended from stock brought to Mexico by the Spaniards.
