dead.'
The (15-year-old Tycoon of

Ragen's death followed a re-
jot tn operation for a kidney ail-

was shfii by unknown gunmen
last June 21th. He had been in
'the hospital since the shooting.
Police say Ragen was shot in
1 traditional gangland fashion —
• with an added fancy trimming,
: The shots came from a dilapidat-
ed fruit truck rather ilian from
the customary black sedan.
Ragen's shooting prompted the
i racing news baron to give police
a statement which accused AI
Capone one-time king of Chicago
j crime, of still running organiz-
ed racketeering. Hagen said Ca-
pone's lieutenants were liandl-

Build house around good heating
The house of today is no more modern than its melhod of heating.
In southwest today, even plans for a modest cottage include Auto-
matic Central Gas Heat. Little wonder, for closet-type central gas
furnace can be installed in small space. When planned as part of
house and installed when it is built the small cost each month is hardly
noticeable. With Automatic Gas Heat there's no bother. House stays
at just the temperature you like. The air is filtered—there's no dust.
The flow of warmed air is smooth and even. Moisture content of air
is properly balanced. The unit is vented so there's no wall sweating.
Be sure the home you build or remodel can be classed as
modern for many years by planning it around an Automatic Central
Gas Heating System.
