THE COST OF SMOKE.

About 8 per cent OF the coal that nils

drives IL across the country. The rest is
wasted Not more than 10 per cent OF the
fuel value OF their coal is consumed In the
furnaces OF manufacturing plants
The rain Of cinders from the stack OF
the locomotive tho pillar OF black smoke
from .he factory chimney. account con-
suieuously FOR part Of the waste. But
these are minor losses The chief ditti-
Guilty lies in tn. failure TO use the COM
bustiblc gases that arise from the burning
coal. They arc either allowed TO escape
unignited or are discharged without hav-
ing done any service beneath the boilers, to
expend their heat on the air.

There is, moreover. an undenlable menace

| Washington will have its first national
aeronautical exposition from March to
L. inclusive The exhibit will be held
in Exposition Hall, one Of the largest
buildings in the country. which has just
been completed at M and North Capitol
| streets At least ten machines. repre-
sentins various types OF monoplanes and
biplanes will be on exhibition for eight
days.
In addition to aeroplancs, models,
gliders, aerial motors. propellers. tent
hangers, and ;ieronautical supplies Of all
kinds will be shown. Automobiles and
motor trucks will also be exhibited. The
floor space in Exposition Hall amounts
to nearly two acres. On one side OF
the building il is planned to have large
passereer-carrying machines in actual
npera.ion With the engine throttled
down, the machine will be run around
the hall and ride in an aeroplane"
position.
Show Development of Aviation.
The exposition will be held under the
auspices of the National Aviation Com
pany, and many of the largest manu-
facturers of aeroplanes and aeronautical
supplies have sgnited their intention to
participate in the exposition. The date
for the exhibit was selected Immediately
after the adjournment of Congress. and
is looked upon as an opportunity to give
the members of the House and Senate
as we'll as the officials of the government
d practical demonstration of what has
been accomplished in aviation during the
rast year.
It is planned to have flight Of mod
els. for which souvenir prizes will be
offered. The present American record
for flight of models is 2l5 feet Many
high school pupils and others who have
built aeroplane models will compete in
the flight of models. and as the hall is
more than 800 feet long it is expected
that some Washington boy will succeed
in establishing a new American record
for model flight. On the high school
night a large net will be extended the
entire length Of the hall, and the models
will be flown without danger of being
broken.
Coming from Boston.
The aviation show in Boston closes on
February Is. and many of the exhibitors
there have agreed to transfer their ma
chimes. engines. propeIlers. and other
aeronautical supplies to Washington.
They all have expressed interest in the
government appropriation Of slsOpO for
aeroplanes for the army. and wish to
participate in it in one way or another.
The Rex Smith machines which has
made many successful flights at College
Park will be one of the local machines
on exhibition Others who may partf
cipate are the Moore and Simmons mono
plane. the Smidley biplane, and the
Christmas biplane. 1t is said that there
are twenty machines being built in and
around Washington and nearly all of
these will be placed on exhibit in EX-
position Hall.
Among the manufacturers of machines
or aeronautical supplies who have agreed
to exhibit are the Burgess Company &
Curtiss. of Marblehead, Mass. several
machines: the Detroit Aeronautic Cons
struction Company, two machines and

AGE-STRUCK GIRL

Marie Biggs Put in the House

Marie Biggs seems determined to shine

second time yesterday.

bia road, disappeared January and was

but left some lime last Monday night.
This time she visited a schoolgirl friend
who resides in Ninth street. The latter's
father notified the police.
Detective Cox located the girl and took
her to police headquarters. where she
was questioned by Capt Boardman. She
was later taken to the House Of Deten-
ton.
In answer to a question as to why she
had left home, Marie said that she was
tired OF life in that house. She had
formerly been in the House of the Good
Shepherd.
