Italy, and the purchase of War Bonds will help continue that fight
until all of the world is liberated from the Axis yoke.

WEST TEXAS MINERALS
ABOUND IN QUANTITY
The West Texas ( Chamber of
Commerce has a listing of 100 min-
erals existing in quantity in its
territory that have had little or no
research into their industrial possi-
bilities. The West Texas Chamber
of Commerce contends that "mere-
ly knowing these minerals exist
does not contribute to their devel-
opment.
"What is lacking in the knowl-
edge of whether they exist in com-
mercial quantities and whether
they can be produced and market-
ed at a profit. Industrial research
by the State, with creation of in-
dustrial laboratories in schools of
higher learning, will give this as-
surance, stimulate Texas develop-
ment and make jobs," says the
chamber.

PROVIDE A FLUE
for ¥ e n f i as $ 6 c§ s Heating
Modern Gas Heating requires a flue so it can be vented. Only when
heating is vented are wall sweating and stuffy air eliminated. So in
your modernizing or new home building plans be sure to include
enough flues for venting the heating. Sketch below shows how flue
can be built in chimney for venting modern floor furnace. Such a
flue or "thimble" should be a part of every fireplace and chimney.

The fireplace thimble, as illustrated above,
is of especial importance in a two-story
home. If it is omitted or blocked up, it is
almost impossible to install a floor furnace
Icter because no flue can be provided to
vent the furnace.... When building p new
home make sure all brick chimneys are built
with this extra vent pipe extending below
floor joists and equipped with a thimble of
not less than six inches in diameter. This
extra vent should be lined to the top v/ith
building tile.
Gas heating should be planned as part
of the house.
