FOR Drinking WATER
ON EXCURSION Cars
Pennsy Expected to Act on
Passenger Com
plants
RULE FOR THE
SEASHORE LINE

Outcome of efforts on the part OF
patrons to have drinking water on all
excursion trains is being awaited
with much interest by travellers on
the Pennsylvania railroad. Regular
passenger trains are equipped with
ice coolers and individual drinking
cups. During the excursion season,
however, many cars, it is said, lack
a supply of water. There has never
been a universal complaint but last
summer a number of excursionists
objected
If a recommendation made by the
New Jersey public utilities commits
sion several days ago is put into ef-
feet every excursion train from
Camden to Atlantic City and other
seashore points will hereafter be sup
plied with drinking water. Complaint
had been made to the commission that
on many of the special excursion
trains there was no drinking water,
a condition adding much to the dis
comfort of patrons of the road during
the summer months.
To overcome a somewhat unusual
condition existing on the West Jersey
& Seashore railroad the commission
suggested that at least every third
car on excursion trains be supplied
with drinking water. In combating
a contention that water should be
provided on every third car. the rail-
road company pointeJ out that in
making up excursion trains it not in
frequently borrowed cars Of the su-
burban type from the Pennsylvania
railroad. These cars are not equip
ped with ice water tanks
Except in this respect. the commits
sion found that the steel suburban
cars are of much better type than the
old-fashioned equipment often press
cd into service in making up excur-
sion trains. Rather than compel the
abandonment of such cars. the COM
mission concluded that the interests
of the public would be better served
by continuing their use. provided at
least that one car with drinking water
for every three on the train is run.

The Federal Government, in its at
tempt to be useful to the people has
reached out in new direction, in that
it has just issued valuable information
to the thousands of stationary firemen
thruout the country. telling them the
best methods of firing boilers in order
to have the least smoke and get the
most heat from their plants.
The report, which has just been
made public by the United States
Bureau Of Mines. seeks to meet the
needs of the men, many without q
technical education, who are employed
in small plants Of 1,C00 to 1900 horse
power capacity where the firing is done
by hand.
The Bureau tells the firemen that
the best results are obtained if the fires
are kept level and from four to ten
inches thick according to the character
of the soft al used and the strength Of
ohe draft. The coal should be fired in
small quantities and at short intervals.
Levelling the burning fuel should be
avoided as 1t means more work for the
fireman and also cause clinkers to
form. Further. the bureau claims that
while the fireman is leveling the fire, q
large excess of air enters the furnace
and lowers the efficiency. The bureaus
say that the ash-pit door should kept
open and that all regulation of the draft
should be made with the damper and
not the ashpit doors. Ashes should not
be allowed to accumulate as they in-
terfere with thd distribution of the air
under the CRATE. Whenever the coal
shows . tendency 70 clinker. water
should be kept in the ash pit.
II the hrings are too ar apart, say
the experts. the coal burns out entirely
in spots, allowing large excess Of air
to enter the furnace. This prevents
proper mixing q the sir and gssss and
tie result il that the gases escape with
cut burning, thus depriving the boiler
] Of much heat.
