WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1924 1 .. _ 5 '£/,anor" Taite· Her Place AmonaLile '· Immortal· "Eleanor" has become immortalized. The deft hands of the engraver has inscrihed her name in~elibly in ~n artistically scrolled ~e.sJgn and still another n~table ~u JOIOed the ranks oi history s undupute~ heroes and, more speci fically, heromes. "Eleanor," as you may have suspect~d. is a girl, but, contrary to your perfcrtly logical deducti~?n, not a member of the human fam1ly, preferring, rather. to maintain her eminence in the ftl ther~d kingdot:n for-"Eleanor" i a r~ al. hve, talkative parrot. ~ot be ing fond of cigars, her name is not attached to one of the favorite brand<, hut, being quite fond 'of bird seed. it is in that commodity that she finch her claim to everlasting renown. A hr;;.Pd of bird seed bears her name. :\tid, as usual, there's a story to tell. In Ja nuary, 1923, the Wilmette Bird hou.;c on East Railroad avenue, in which "Eleanor" had her abiding place wa, consumed in flames. It happened in the wee sma' hours, and when dawn arrh ed the erstwhile attractive shop was a desolate waste of tangled debris. "Eleanor's " boss surveyed the scene ., ...._.-_._-.__:' th dismay and, in sheer anguish ~t.lled.--called to his dearest pet the usual mornin~ cali-"Hello, Eleanor, ho11· are you? Someone heard a faint squeak, there wa s a scurry to the spot from whence came the scarcely audible sound. Followed a session of frantic digging. A bird. cage all but covered with wreckage was revealed and, frantically clinging to its upper bars was the drenched and shivering form of "Eleanor." In its new and spacious quarters on Linden avenue, the Wilmette Bird House does a lucrative business under the watchful eye of "Eleanor." A tH'I\' hrand of bird seed has been e1 oh·ed. It is known as the "Eleanor Brart<l," named after the sole survivor ot the g reat lire of 1923. Chilly A~tumn DaysNot cold enough to start the furnace yet too chilly for comfort without heat ARE you one of the home ownen that I'1.. bas said to himself, "A. 1000 u Oil Burners are perfected I'll have one " installed., And then being fairly busy doing your res· ular stint every day, put the question aside as one of the things vou were aoin1 to really look into-and here it is Fall again. You know mighty well that you would like to be rid of the eternal bother of stok· ing a furnace with its dust and ashes. The cleaning of flues, the banking of the fire at night, the cold house in the moming, the complete impossibility of maintain.. ing an even temperature, and really solve the problem of that 30 minutes heat you need mornings and evenings the tint chill days this Fall. The idea of setting the thermostat, then fprgetting about all heatin1 problems for the next eight months intriiUes your Imagination, but juiC how are you going about sorting out the claims and counter daims wrapped up in their technical ver· biage? Where can you turn for an accurate standard of value 10 far as Oil Burners are concerned? Burnina oU u not a new acience. Oil Burners have been in uae in lnduatrial · plants, bat(le ships, etc.. for yean. Engineen who have made a study of on burning and who are authorities on the subject, have all agreed on certain definite fundamental principles which must be followed in order to bum 'U effi.ciendy. N. T. Griddera Pointed for Game with Thornton Coach "Duke" Childs will make a rarlical change in the New Trier high sc hool footl>all team line-up when the s,!recn and gray eleven faces the Thornton high school team in the first big game of the season this S~turday aftl'rnoon at the New Trier field. The change is due to the showing by the New '(rier $'quad a_gainst nge last Saturday when 1t was te~, 16 to 7. The New Trier dtd some good playing, but the 1trategy of the LaGrange team compk!tely surprised the north shore gridders, it was explained. During this week Coach Childs and his staff have been drilling north shore squad to "live down" the defeat met at the hands of LaGrange and to redeem itself against Thornton The latter team, by winning from Joliet and M?men~e during the past two weeks, . 1s bemg rated as one of the best htgh school teams in the state. If the New Trier boys, with the change planned to bolster up the line and get more speed and accuracy in the backfield can down the Thornton cl~ven. the Lagrange defeat can be \\'tpcd off the slate. ber. Fire brick hu beeD louacl fD be the most satbfactorv ret'tactol"y material. 3. In addidon to atomkin1 the od and burning it in the praence of a reo fractory material, the on mu.t be bumed whUe suspended in the air, before it comes in contact with any cooling surface. 4. A certain fixed minimum quantity of air must be thrown into the com. bustion chamber. Does this all sound rather technkalt We hope not. You and several other thou-sand home ownen have a riaht to expect that the Oil Burner you iftltall in your home relieves vou of nerv headna trou.. ble, that it functions automatically, that it reqUires no technical Jmowledle oa. your part to operate, that It maintaicu an. even temperature in '90\11' home whether the thermometer outside ftli,lten (,00 or zero. Your part must be, and properly 10, limited to settins your thennoetat at the desired temperature, and order oil at the proper intervals. . ··· The Hart Oil Bumer Co. honestly aad with scientific accuracy has met every fundamental requirement of the perfeCt oil burner within the Umita of human fallability. We are amply financed and back of t:hU is 3 5 years successful manufacturin1 experience. Our guarantee to heat your home satisfactorily meana exactly what it says.
