Fill the fuel space twice q day in

slightly In the center.
Don't add small quantities OF coal
several times = day. with attendant
shakings. Shake the crate only twice
a day before fresh coal 10 put in and
stop when q bright light shows un.

Don't leave the feed door open: Il
cools the heating surfaces. To check
draft. open the check damper In the
stovepipe and shut the ashpit door.
See that the coal IL properly con-
sumed and not shaken through the
CRATE to pass out with the ashes.
Keep the ashpit empty.
Don't use the wrong size OF coal;
it's uneconomical
II right size and quality Of coal are

CABLE OPERATION
MADE LESS COSTLY
War Department Announces Discovery
OF Method to Improve Ocean
Service.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. TO-
Through the development Of improved
receiving instruments for use In ocean
cable service, 1t was announced. the
War Department believes It has found
a means to greatly increase the eff
cheney and to reduce the cost Of ocean
cable transmission
Here Ia War Department state
ment outlining the development:
The War Department announces
an important technical discovery In
the method Of operating ocean tele-
graph cables which 1t Is believed will
result in radical improvements and
greatly increased efficiency in the OPP
GRAFTON of cables throughout the world
The Improvement consists essen
tally In the adaptation of the ticker
and audion types of instrument used
for receiving the signals In radio
on the government signal corps cable
from Sitka. Alaska. to Seattle, Wash
and the receiving apparatus was In
stalled In the Seattle ONCE. This ca
bic is 1896 miles in length.
up to the present time all ocean
cables have been operated with visual
record using the siphon recorder in
strument invented by Lord Kelvin q
half century ago. The new method
permits for the first time the recep-
ton OF regular Morse signals by ear
as in radio-telegraphy and complete
ly does away. therefore. with the pres
ent highly trained cable readers. The
actual receiver Is an ordinary tele-
phone. 1t Is broken up by means of
a slipping contact ticker and rem
dered audible. In order to secure
greater sensibility a tuned audion am
pifier is used in connection with the
ticker. The sensitiveness Of this APP
paratus Is so great that less than lao
of the voltage necessary for operating
the siphon recorder is sufficient to
give good traffic signals.
The significance OF this develop
ment may be realized when we re-
member that at present all the traffic
for ocean cables has to be translated
into an entirely different code at each
end, and that highly paid cable read
ers are required to decipher these
messages

JOY RIDERS IN !.
HILO HAVE fun
At Wild PACE
Especial Star Bulletin Correspondencc1

e :. Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
=" HIL0, June 24.-Seventeen ponce
men were laid out cold on Monday
night last when a band of joy-riders
ran amuck in a peace-at-any-price car
and raced around the city streets at a
great pace. That none of the police
officers were killed is owing to the
fact that the cops laid out were OF the
silent variety which stand at the street
corners and warn chauffeurs how to
drive their cars at those points. AS
a result of the affair, three men have
been arrested and fined. That is to
say q couple of them decided to for
felt bail in the substantial amount OF
$50 each in preference to appearing
in court and facing the charges. The
cop killers were strangers from Homo
lulu and the coast.
From the story of the real, live
cops, who pursued the joy-riders
around town until they arrested them,
it appears that the bunch of visitors,
all fairly we'll linked and looking for
fun, started off around town at a pace
that would make Barney Oldheld
weep with joy. Then, not content
with hitting the sidewalks about ev'
cry other corner, the joy bunch in
structed one Of De party to sit on the
running board Of the car and to knock
over every silent wooden Cop that was
encountered. That was great sport
and the bunch proceeded to visit ev'
cry part of the town where wooden
man stands and to throw them all
over into the street centers.
1t was while doing this that the real
police officers got wise and then en-
sued a really exciting race that was
only brought to a close when the joy
riders ran into a blink alley and had
to surrender to superior forces. II
took some time to replace the silent
cops and then all was quiet again.
