ing four return coils, each containing 

 three 1^/4 -inch pipes. At the most, not 

 more than five flows should be used, and 

 with them ten or eleven return pipes 

 will be required. 



The above is with the understanding 

 that each house has two exposed side 

 walls. For a house without exposed 

 side walls the number of returns may 

 be reduced one pipe. 



The amount of radiation in the five 

 houses comes up close to the capacity 

 of the two boilers for economical op- 

 eration in the coldest weather men- 

 tioned, but with careful firing there 

 should be no diflBculty in maintaining a 

 temperature of 55 degrees when it is 15 

 degrees below zero, if the houses are 

 well built. 



A chimney twenty inches in diameter 

 and forty feet high would be desirable. 

 By building a chimney a little more or 

 less than forty feet, the diameter of the 

 chimney may be slightly decreased or 

 increased, respectively.

President Harding's front porch cam- 

 paign put this city on the map, and 

 B. C. Blake, the leading florist, was at 

 times swamped with orders. Many large 

 decorations were executed for various 

 parties and dinners given by the many 

 organizations and committees which 

 made pilgrimages to Harding's front 

 porch. B. C. Blake, Jr., went to Wash- 

 ington with the special train of Marion 

 admirers to attend the inauguration. 

 His father, who has been in San Fran- 

 cisco for some time, will return soon. 

 This company has been receiving violets 

 and frecsias from California in fine 

 shape. It expects business conditions 

 here to remain good. J. W. T.
