After completing its Investigations of
the smoke question the government
authorities conclude that an ordinary
hand-fired furnace is bound to smoke
unless high grade coal be used or it be
operated by expert firemen with more
than ordinary care. Another conclusion
is that there are thousands of installa-
tons that cannot be remodeled SO as to
burn cheap coal, with ordinary fremen,
without creating smoke. The 6nly rem
edy for these is to wait until they cease

problem OF procuring heat and power at
a reasonable price and without annoyance
from smoke. 1t is noted that the in
creasing use of coke from by-product
coke plants. in sections where soft coal
formerly was used, the use of gas for
domestic purposes and the purchase Of
heat from Gel trail plants. both in the

The bureau of mines has large num-
ber of bulletins upon fuel testing and fuel
consumption which it Is anxious to place
in the hands of those who are considering
the installation of new plants or the re-
modelling of old ones. A large advisory
board on the testing of fuels and structu-
raj materials has been created by the
President to consider with the bureau Of
mines the great problem OF fuel waste
in the United States. 1t is estimated, for
instance, that in an ordinary incandescent

pounds of coal to yield to you as much

power out of one ton Of coal for every
twenty-five tons it burns.

By Frederic J. Haskin.

Only a few yea ago one might stand
on the streets of Washington and see
dense clouds of black smoke issuing from
the chimneys of the public buildings.
Uncle Sam, after having passed a law
abating smoke, found himself hailed be-
fore the bar of justice for having v.olat-
ed his own law But today things are
somewhat different Investigations be-
gun by the geological survey and con-
tinued in an exhaustive manner by the
bureau of mines have demonstrated fully
how smoke may be overcome, and Uncle
Sans buildings no longer help to cover
their own white marble surfaces with
CRIME by contributing to the smoke nui-
sance.
The investigation by the bureau OF
mines covered all conditions and circum-
stances relating to the smokeless COM
bustion of coal in boiler furnaces. 1t
demonstrated that with proper equip
ment, efficient labor and intelligent
supervision even the lowest grades OF
bituminous coal can be used without
smoke in both small and large plants
! The investigation covered between 40
and 500 plants located in thirteen large
cities in nine states. Goals from a larger
number of states were covered by the in
vestigation.
! The conclusions reached We're that
smoke prevention is at once possible and
! profitable, that good apparatus set under
boilers where the principles OF comDus-
ton have not been recognized Is less
useful than poor apparatus installed WITH
properly built boilers. 1t was founo tnal
the temperature at the fire surface is
around 1850 degrees Fahrenheit and that
at the boiler surface around $50 degrees,
and that combustion necessarily Is hlnuer-
ed unless the distance between the nre
and the boiler is great enough that the
gases are completely consumed before
reaching the boiler surface. The length
of time it requires for the gas 10 pass
from the ct.l to the boiler surface in an
ordinary furnace is one second. Inc m.
yestigations further revealed the fate
that the elimination of the human ele-
ment by the su. titution of some me-
chanical method of throwing the coal on
the fire is always productive OF the best
results.

Wagner VIII
Roll in Silk
Cffy's Tourney

When Hans Wagner, the great short
stop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was Wis
ting Dots Miller. the Pirates second
baseman, at the latter's home, IN
kearny, recently the pair paid a visit
to Paterson, the scene of Wasner's first
triumphs as a ball player.
Hans always has a warm spot in his
heart for the Silk City and every time
he gets anywhere near there he runs
over to greet his old friends.
When Wagner played in a Paterson
uniform he was quite a bowler, so
when he struck Paterson the CONVERSE
ton naturally turned to bowling. The
SILK City is to be the scene of the sixth
national tournament and consequently
the town is bowling mad. Wagner
was asked if he would roll on a team
composed of ball players. after the
Pirates return from their training trip.
When told that the tournament would
last from March 8 to March 30. Wag-
ner was more han willing to roll, and
the team will be given a date as late as
possible. in order to give him a chance
TO get back from the South.
The team will consist of Hans Wag-
ner. Dots Miller, Andy Coakley, of New
York; George Merritt, pitcher for the
Buffalo International League team, and
George McQuillen, who was sold by
Cincinnati to Columbus last season.
They are all first-class bowlers. and
are sure to be in the money. Merritt
and McQuillen are Paterson boys.

BeHepiHe Headpinners
Do CreditubIe Bowling

With John Gardner bowling 100,
Harry Karr 10S, William Byrnes 1O3
and Frank Webb 100, the Belleville
Club members made a good showing
last night in the STAR headpin tour
nament on the Iroquois alleys. There
were ten teams on hand, and for four
out of fifty bowlers to win watch
fobs for scores of 100 or better Is a
creditable performance.
The most enthusiasm came when the
last squad of bowlers rolled. Frank
Webb is a 15-year-old youngseter. who
acts as a pin-boy at the club. He
started with a strike and Their knocked
down eight pins with his second ball.
A miss followed in the third frame
and matters were none too bright for
the lad. He kept right on plugging
the headpin, however, and had a score
of 80 on the eleventh box. There was
much excitement when he made ready
to roll his last ball. The youthful
bowler had his nerve right with him,
put the ball in the pocket and the
pins went crashing into the pit for the
m~uch-desired strike.
= Watch-fob winners did not put in
an appearance in the first squad,
though not a few of the bowlers have
good regulations as wood-splitters.
Jackson, who slipped in the second box,
could not overcome the handicap, and
be finished with SO. Billy Knight also
calculated wrong in the second box
and he stopped at SO. Jack Young
missed twice for 50. EThe best bowl
ing came in the second squad when
Gardner, with 100, and Kari. with los,

pin twelve times straight. r. Gard

coming in the eighth frame n the

the headpin without any slips. fouled
in the ninth frame, and this mistake
was costly, for he scored SO. Slater.

AMONG THE LOCAL HORSE DEALERS

The situation in the local horse mar
ket remains practically unchanged, ex-
cept for the fact that the comparative
ly open weather which has prevailed
during the past week has allowed ship
ments to arrive which were anywhere
from a week to ten days past due, ow-
ing to the severe snowstorms cou
tered en- route from the West.
The demand, however, is on the in
crease, and will be until late in the
spring. Dealers generally predict one
of the busiest spring demands in years.
Doc Foresman, the Bridge street
dealer, is this week showing a par
ticularly fine lot of horses and mules

Hudson River
BdSRetbQllerS

The Hudson River Basketball League
is no more; that is, for the remainder
of this season. After a long conference
between the officials of the Hudson or
CARNATIONS and the New York State
League it was decided that the two cir
cults could not pull with each other.
Several of the clubs were represented
in both leagues. Manager Downey, of
the Crescents, was notified that he
would ave to give up playing in Pater-
son and transfer his team to Cohoes,
N. Y, which town he had been repre-
sentine with success in the New York
State League, without interfering with
the schedule of the Hudson River
League. The Paterson, Kingston and
Newburg teams ended the season in a
tie, each winning fourteen contests and
losing nine. A series to decide the
championship will take place. Each
team will play the other two games
and the Hudson River title will go to
the winner.

Particular attention is called to a
pair of dapple-gray mules, weighing
2.4OO pounds. They are perfect 'pic-
lures and an advertisement for any

horses and fancy saddle types has
beer rather dull, except for a few ship

the adverse weather conditions which
have prevailed, this condition was not
entirely unlocked for.

variety of fancy material on hand, and
when the weather settles they will. as
usual, get their share of this trade in
the metropolitan district.
