Burn Wood, Save Coal.
Practicing what he breaches, Col.
Charles M. Jarvis is economizing on
the consumption Of coal at his home,
the Naples, in Berlin. By experiment
Col. Jarvis has found that green
wood, cut fresh and chopped into
handy lengths of six inches or so,
makes admirable wood for burning in
the furnace in place Of COAL AL
though it is necessary to bank down
the fire at night with coal, this green
wood makes an excellent substitute
for the day time, he states. The
State Council of Defense plans to
bring to the Attention Of the public
particularly those in a rural COM
munity, the urgent need Of local econ
omy and the substitution of wood
wherever possible, and it is along
these lines that Col. Jarvis is working
himself. Throughout the state, in
the outlying districts, there are said
to be thousands of cords of wood 60
ing to waste, or at least lying idle,
while the people burn coal. This
must be stopped and the wood used
for every ton of coal saved by people
who can obtain wood means just that
much more coal for the use of t
city jewellers and the necessary manu-
facturers who cannot.

BAKER DEFENDS HIS
WORK AS WARRIOR
Declares Factories Are Rushed at
Top Speed on Munitions

New York, Dec 13.-The secretary
of war and the secretary Of the navy,
speaking last night at the annual
dinner of the New York Southern
society at the Waldorf-Astoria, de-
Tended Americas military Preparation,
decried the work of spies and sedi-
tionists, the preaching of pessimism,
and asserted that the war work of the
country had evoked the admiration of
the experts of the nations who for
three years longer than America knew
what modern war preparations were.
Secretary Daniels declared that
there was no news of loss or defeat
which had not been given to the
American people, and that as long IA
the war lasted the Government would
speak frankly to the people of how
the war was going.
Country Should Be Proud.
In his address. the eloQuence of
which at times brought his hearers
to their feet, Secretary Baker pictured
unselfish America as the great war
maker" when she had to be. Sacri-
fice in a common cause, he said, had
made the nation more united than
ever before. and from 1917 would
always date the history of a really
homogeneous nation. He replied to
the critics who charge that there is
a scarcity of rifles in training camps
by saying that there wasn't a. NUM-
ton factory in the land that wasn't
working overtime and that if there
was a soldier in training camp who
didn't have a gun, it was because the
government has seen fit to equip first
the men at the front. Referring to
other criticism of the nations war
preparations, he said they were mere
details such as any trouble-mak
could find. and that looking at the ma
TONS military progress broadly the
country had every reason to be proud,
because America had shown that a
when called upon, could
resort to defense in arms.

though the Prudential committee met

around the waist and, attached to the
shoulders and knotted in back, falls to
the length of the skirt. It appears de-

find favor among those who crave
something with unique style. The

Trade for nearby delivery broadens

of insufficient supplies. but buying of
staples for fall shipment proceeds in
rather cautious fashion, recurring
peace talk as well as high costs being
the chief influences.
While high prices elicit widespread
complaints at the moment, activity
reigns In wholesale, jobbing and re-
tail lines, with buyers becoming more
numerous at the leading markets and
with retail distribution stimulated by
cold weather as well as by clearance
sales.
Dry goods shoes and clothing re-

ployed at record wages and in con-
sequence consumptive requirements
