PROMISES TO STIR UP
SCHOOL FUEL QUESTION
Representative RedfieId Says
Inquiry Will Be Conducted
in District.

promise to stir up the old question
Of how much coal the local public schools
use today was made by Representative
Redneld, chairman of one of the investi-
eating subcommittee of the House, In
the District committee room, after Snow
den Ashford, municipal architect, had
made some remarks about fuel.
The coal question is one of the points in
the long standing controversy between
the board of education and officials of the
engineer department of the District.
President Oyster of the board of educa-
ton claims the schools have improper
furnaces in many instances and conse-
quently IL too much coal is used the con-
struction of the schools is to blame. The
engineer officials believe some of the
school janitors waste coal.
1--WE have found" said Mr.. Ashford.
that in schoolhouses of the same size
throughout the city approximately
the same amount of coal is used, or
should be used under proper manage
ment."
"Ah." commented Mr.. Redfeld, that
last remark Is the one which should be
emphasized. or should be under proper
management.

THE CATS USEFUL WHISPERS.

We are apt to think that the cats

much to its "whiskers" These deli

Each one grows from a follicle or

etacle is instantly felt by the animal
though the hair itself may be tough
and insensible. The exaggerated
whiskers on the muzzle often project
to such distance that from point to
point they indicate the exact width of
the body of the beast. Consider the
night In search OF prey. when the
least stir of a twig gives alarm. The
lions whiskers indicate through the

Wherever his head may be thrust

in conjunction with the soft cushions
of his feet that enables him to pro
