mn RE nad 16 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922 OIL HEATER STOPS WORRY ABOUT EON Modern Oil Heater Practical | for Home Use More than two thousand homes in the Chicago territory will be comfor- tably heated this winter, no matter how severe the coal shortage may be. These homes are equipped with auto- matic oil heaters, which are installed | in the heating plant. Oil burning has been for a long time entirely successful in large installa- tions, as office buildings and apart- ments. It required the attention of a skilled man, however, and up to four years ago this fact kept it from being used in homes. Patent is Practical. Four years ago the so-called Double- Detroit patent made oil burning prac- tical for the home, because automatic and trouble free. The modern oil heater has a com- bustion chamber in which the oil is completely consumed--the heat from the combustion reaching the heating surface of the plant exactly as did the heat from the coal. Since the original automatic oil heater was perfected, four years ago, nearly seven thousand of them have been installed in America and six foureign countries Recently, too, three or four other types of oil burn- ing home heaters have been develop ed, and these give a practical service. The automatic oil heater that is chiefly in use today has long been approved by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. It is at least as safe as the coal heating plant. Even Temperature The great advantage of the auto- matic oil heater is that it requires no attendance to maintain an even tem- perature in any winter weather. Its cleanliness, too, appeals to the women --it burns with a sootless, odorless flame, and is regulated by a thermo- stat located conveniently in any room in the house. . The use of automatic oil heaters has grown so fast during the past four years that the manufacturers are now producing nw, to the limit of their capacity. The coal strike will doubt- less bring them an overflow of orders, so that many homes that want this 'modern form of heating may be dis- appointed.

Cunningham, a mechanic, were arrested while speed- ing through Wilmette in a navy car, Monday afternoon, both of them being intoxicated.
