WASTING IsAIN LOADS OF COAL.

Fuel experts from The Iowa State
College propose to give their services
to cities that seek them by surveying
the large fuel using plants and offer
ing advice as to the firing.
1t would be a wise thing for Mar
shutdown fuel users TO secure the ser
vi2es of these experts and afford them
every assistance and facility 10 die
cover ust how much coal is being
wasted by had firing and instruct their
fremen to follow the instructions of
the surveyors.
II isn't the question Of cost primar-
lily now. 1t is strictly a question Of
fuel without counting the cost. Money
can't buy coal when no coal is to be
had nearer than the mine or purchase
delivery OF coal that has not been
mined. About the most useless thing in
the world is money that can't buy any
thing. And money can't buy coal when
there isn't coal in town. Al present
the primary and underlying serious
ness OF the situation is, not thrift, but
prevention Of famine. Thrift comes
next. Necessity stands first.
Bad firing under the big boilers
means waste. We notice it there be-
cause the waste is great and notice
able But vast amounts Of fuel are
being wasted by had and careless firing
in the homes
To Illustrate: Father goes down TO
the furnace and piles the coal in
shovelful after shovelful in the middle
Of the frebox, comes up stairs and
lifts the draft that things may warm
up quick. He should have seen that
his furnace is clean and clear Of ciink-
ers, that the ASH pan is clean, should
have scattered his fuel evenly over The
fire box, shut off all drafts and waited
until the well-flled firebox was a mass
Of cooked coal. Then his fire would
hold and heat steadily for hours. He
should be sure that he has removed all
accommodations thru the clean out" this
fall and should now and then examine
to see whether or not the fues are free
or stuffed up"
Waste comes this way also: Mother
goes down town and comes in cold
perhaps. Then opens the draft for quick
action. Then after the blaze is furious
she jerks up the check draft and lets
things cool off,
One Of the children arrives home
from school and opens the draft again
while he or she stands before the reg
ister,, then goes away and forgets I,
ETC., etc It doesn't take long to waste
ton OF coal that way. And in other
ways, careless ways. The easiest thing
Is to waste One Of the hardest things
is to save No heating plant is entirely
fool proof And foolishness costs money.
Worse than that this year il costs coal.
Those who waste fuel are not only
wasting their own but that Of others.
They are bidding for famine
Let's get the right point OF view on
this conservation question. Coneerva-
ton doesn't necessarily mean thrift it
Includes ii. Conservation means eau
ton, foresight, avoidance of desperate
stringency. And there is very grave
danger OF a desperate scarcity of coal.
Learn TO fire your home heating
plant. II you have learned put the ac-
CURED knowledge into practice. Care
less firing will waste train loads OF
coal this winter in Marshalltown.

WAR |NSURANCEFOR
TRANSPORT VICTIMS
THOSE WHO Persisted WITHIN
THE SCOPE OF THE LAW
RECENTLY PASSED.
$4,000 TO EACH EACH FAMILY
Paid in Monthly instruments
Over Period of 20 Years
Others Get Pay.

Washington, d. C.-All those in the
military and naval service who per-
ished with the lost American trans
port Antilles, torpedoed and sunk by
a German submarine October II, came
within the scope of the new war in
surance law, the treasury department
announced Saturday, and threby au-
tomatically carried insurance to the
amount of $4,000 each.
This sum will be paid the families
of the dead soldiers and sailors in
monthly instruments of $25 each over
a period of 20 years. 1t is in addi-
ton to compensation which will be
paid to widows, children and depend
ent mothers of the men. A widow, for
example, will be paid s25 insurance
and $25 compensation, a total of $50.
While the $25 insurance is fixed
maximum, in cases where no appli-
cation for insurance was made the
additional compensation varies from
$40 for a motherless dependent child
to a minimum of s75 for all depend
ents.
The insurance of $25 a month will
be paid under the section of the law
providing for automatic insurance of
all American soldiers, sailors, sailors
and marines, without application for
100 days after the publication of reg
ulations providing for the issuance of
policies. These regulations were pub
lished early in October and the time
limit prescribed by law will not ex-
pire till February IL, next.
Approximately 20 persons went down
with the Antilles. What percentage
of this total is affected by the law at
present is unknown but will be de-
termined upon receipt of advices es-
tablishing the identity of those who
persisted.
Not only will the families of the
dead receive insurance and compen-
sation under the law, but those who
were injured, if any, while in the
military or naval service, also will
share in it's provisions for indemni
ties.

Women Called to Mems places.

Discussing to what extent women
will be called on ito take mems pla-
ces" in industry during the war, Ruth
Karr Mckee, taking Canada as an
example, says:
Canada has sent to the front one
in 20 of her entire population. Not
until America shall have sent five
million or more men, will there be a
like condition in the United States.
1t is the consensus of thoughtful
people that the war will not be a
short one, that we must lay careful
foundations, place our preparations
on a level that we can hope to main
tain for three years or even longer,
yet no one expects for moment that
America will send such an army to
France We may expect then that
there will be even less disturbance of
the regular fields of mems and wom-
ems occupations here than in Can
ada
The latest statistics available
(about January, 1910 indicated that
less than 10000 women were en-
ployed in direct displacement of men
in Canada. We can readily see then
that there need be no elaborate pre-
paration to don mems regimentals
and go forth to do their peculiar work.
