q WASHINGTON. June Calling for
the arcclcration and not the cessation
OF road building because Of war con-
di;ions. the American Automobile As
SoCiation in its annual meeting also
urged the construction of a marginal
military highway around the entire
country. with the first section extend
ing from Calais. Nc. to the head of
The Chesapeake Say. Army heads
agree that the upper Atlantic coast
should receive priority OF attention for
reasons which are generally rccor-
rizod
In its Cleveland session the organized
motorists thus expressed the roads
policy for which they will contend:
Whereas there is a widespread ten
dency to defer highway construction.
due TO the unusual conditions in the
material and labor market arising
from the war. and
Whereas tho Council of National De-
Tense has called upon the nation not
to curtail. but rather To expand, gem
eral business. and particularly to con
tinue highway building. therefore.
be i;
Resolved. That tn. American Auto
way officials, town. county. State and
national. 10 continue without abate-
nient the Improvement of the public
highways. wartime conditions
particularly emphasize the Importance
and need OF good roads.
Referring to military marginal
roads this important subject was thus
set forth:
Whereas military necessities require
durably constructed and we'll
developed system OF marginal high
ways near and approx imately parallel
to the north. east, south and west
boundaries Of the United States. and
also require the improvement OF the
main radial roads intcrsectinE such
marginal highways. and
Whereas the existing Federal aid
road act provides. in part at least. for
the construction and maintenance OF
the necessary radial roads through
co-crdinated efforts Of Federal and
State officials. but could not within
any reasonable time complete tho
marginal roads. which arc OF the
utmost immediate Importance, espc-
cially the northcrly part OF tho East
ern marginal road, therefore, be il
Resolved. That the American Auto
m bile Association urge upon Congress
the need of legislation TO provide for
system OF Military Marginal Roads

national expense.

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC

Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only true way
for both branches of music, and the
necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised. The
voice being a truly natural gift, must
possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training with the divided
time for small children on any instru-
ment. Talent in all cases must be
well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. Lessons in divided
courses-all missed lessons must be
made up-no excuse Think and be
prepared ahead is the go-word.

HOW--
To Run Furnace Smoothly
and With Comfort

0NE house owner writes; In our
heater we have a damper In
" funnel, one at top of heater,
one in fuel door and one in ash
pit door: also at top of heater is a
small door which when open allows air
to get into funnel, thus checking draft.
This is between funnel damper and
one top of heater. We have fourteen
radiators in a house of twelve rooms
and two bathrooms.
Assuming your radiators are large
enough n full of water, you should
have no great trouble. However.
it is very important to keep the air
out of the radiators in the top floor,
and we test ours on that floor every
day by opening the little air valve on
radiator until the water flows in each
one. then closing. If the water does
not come there is quite likely not
enough in the system to fill all. We
then run more in until it shows in over
flow pipe.
Another important thing is to keep
the ashes from off the shelves at the
top of heater. We have a small door
for each shelf admitting of cleaning,
which we do with wire brush on long
handle. We brush shelves every morn
ing, taking n minute to do it. While
doing this have every damper wide
open so as to draw the ashes away.
The damper in funnel at all other times
we keep closed just as tight as we can
get it, there being sufficient space by
hole in middle of it and around it to
take off gas and make fire burn. We
are particular to keep heater well
shaken and well cleaned out in ashpit,
as we get the best results by good bot
tom draft. Shake during day if neces-
sary, but surely late in the evening, get
ting fire in good condition for night and
putting OIL fresh coal on retiring. We
then leave the hampers as follows:
Funnel closed, top of heater closed, lit
tie door between slightly open, allow
ing some air into funnel; ash pit damp
er open the very least. The water now
in heater is about 10 degrees and in
the morning should be about 100 de-
grees.
In the morning close little door at
top, open damper at top of heater, open
ash pit door, leaving damper in funnel
closed tight, and while we are getting
the kitchen range a-going the heater is
warming up nicely, and when next we
go to the cellar we find $50 to ITO de-
grees of heat. We then open some of
the radiators On the lower floor that we
closed the night before. This we al
ways do, as we think our plants do bet
ter if not in too hot a place at night.
AS for managing the heater during the
day, it depends on the weather, but
anyway we endeavor to obtain results
by use of damper in ashpit door, believ-
ing bottom draft most economical and
carries less waste heat into the chin
ney. Hope this will be of some use to
yOu.
