The firepot is the "heart" of any furnace, be

containing, as it does, burning fuels. It is sub

consequent expansion and contraction. Where a

contraction soon causes it to crack. In the
The firepot is cast in two pieces. This practically
eliminates the danger of the firepot cracking.
The firepot does not flare as firepots are
usually made, but is cast straight. This gives a
freer and more direct passage of the air, which in

OIL UNO BILL VOTE
BLOCKEDINSENATE
Unanimous Agreement De
nied Senator La Foilette
for Final Ballot.
Unanimous agreement for & final
vote tomorrow by the Senate on the
bill for leasing- government-owned
oil, gas, coal and phosphate lands
was denied Senator La Foilette, re
publican, of Wisconsin, late yester
day after a long discussion. He said
he was opposed to limiting debate.
Charges were made that the pro
posed legislation would be In the in
terest of the Standard Oil Company,
and the conservation policies of Gif
ford Pinchot as chief of the forestry
service were attacked.
Standard Oil Feared.
( Senator Kenyon, republican, Iowa,
said there was an impression over
the country that if the bill was
passed the Standard Oil Company
would get control of the oil supply.
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, irt
I charge of the bill, and Senator
Ashurst. democrat, Arizona, declared
such was not the case, adding that
if the Senate wanted "to play into
the hands of" the Standard Oil Com
i pany it had only to continue the
present public domain policy.
Senator Ashurst said Gifford Pin
chot had sought to preserve the public
domain as a big hunting preserve and
that the President seemed to have
fallen under "the same baleful in
fluence." which believes that the way
to conserve the natural resources of
the country is to keep them away
from the people.
Leasing System Opposed.
^If anybody is interested in keeping
oil off the market, it is the Standard
Oil Company, he continued, adding
that while he and other western
senators were opposed to a leasing
system, the time had come when the
country must either "play into the
hands of the Standard Oil Company
or have a leasing system."
The Standard Oil Company, he de
clared. urged the passage of the leas
ing bill for oil lands in 1911. knowing
that by urging a leasing bill it could
bring "an impasee" in the Senate so
it could charge whatever it deBired
for oil.
