Decentralization OF
Germany Is Best Means
OF Securing Peace Soon

Berlin, Germany. June 24.-(Via
London. June 25.)-Philip Scheide-
mann. the Socialist leader. celebrated
his return from the Stockholm con-
ference by the publication in Vor-
waerts of q two column article. IN
which he reveals himself as anything
but optimistic concerning early
peace prospects.
In spite of Stockholm, alas" he
says. I'VE fear that we shall be called
upon to face the fourth winter of war.
To prevent this. IL possible, in an
honorable way, must be our duty.
One OF the means of achieving this,
while not infallibly certain, yet,
nevertheless, most promising, is the
characterization Of Germany"

Ing surface, prevents the heat from
passing from the fire to the air or
water of the system. 1t goes off
up the chimney in the heated air
and gases.
IL a hot-water or steam system
has been filled with water during
the Summer las 1t ought to be-, 1t
should be emptied and filled with
fresh water before firing up. All
dust and dirt should be cleaned
from registers and warm-air pipes
of furnace system, and when pos
sible the warm-air space of the fur
mace itself should be swept out. A
vacuum cleaner is very effective
for this work. All these things
affect either the health of the oc-
cupants Of the house or the eff
cheney of the heating-plant, or both.
The thickness of the fire must
be varied according to the weather.
1t Is good plan to keep the top
OF the fire as near level with the
bottom of the firing-door as posi-
BILE at all times except in very mild
weather. In mild weather ashes
should be allowed to accumulate on
(not under) the CRATE. In cold
weather the fire should be we'll
shaken and only thin layer of
ashes left on the CRATES. II neces-
sary, the fuel may be heaped above
the level Of the bottom of the firing
door. In other words, the thickness
of the fire is to be varied chiefly by
the. raising and lowering of the
bottom, and not by raising and low
ering of the top of the fuel bed.
AS hard coal contains but little
gas, 1t is seldom il ever necessary
to admit air through the firing door
over the fire. The fuel bed should
be kept thick so that 1t will not
burn through and admit excess air.
When firing fresh charge, the en-
tire fuel bed should not be covered.
Leave a space of red coal, prefer
ably at the back. through which
air can come. The smaller sizes
Of hard coal are usually the cheap
est and can be burned provided the
draft is strong enough. The finer
the coal. the stronger the draft
must be to force the air through
the fuel bed. Sometimes large
sizes may be burned for heavy fir
ing and finer coal mixed with 1t for
mild weather and for banking at
night A hard coal fire should
never be poked from the top.
Soft Goals of different kinds re-
quire different treatment. They
always require more air imme-
diately after firing than either hard
coal or coke. For this purpose
either the damper in the firing-door
or the air-blast door. II there is
one, should be used. These admit
additional air and burn the gases
distilled from the coal by the heat.
They should not be kept open long
er than necessary, or heat will be
wasted through excess air. In
burning some soft Goals containing
a large amount Of gas. air must be

admitted over the IRE nearly all
the time, or there wilt be q gas
explosion. This Is especially apt
to happen If the draft is sluggish.
At no time should the entire fuel
bed be covered with fresh fuel.
This Is precaution more neces-
sary to be observed with soft coal
than with hard coal. The fresh
charge should be fired in front and
thus cause the gases to pass back
over the red hot Goals at the rear
before they can escape. If suffi-
cfent air is admitted at the same
time. they will be consumed.
When banking soft coal fire for
the night, the fresh charge should
be fired and allowed to burn up for
from five to fifteen minutes with
drafts open. This burns off the gas,
utilizes heat and lessons the dan
ger OF a gas explosion. Some bank
a fire with ashes in order to burn
any small bits of coal which drop
through the CRATES. This is salts
factory and economical provided
the ashes do not cause clinker and
clog the fire. Fine coal is best for
banking, used wet or dry. The fine
dust of Pocahontas coal if thor
oughly wetted and placed on the
fuel bed will cake and keep the
fire burning slowly all night. If
fired dry, it will burn too rapidly.
Very often a householder who
has been burning hard coal desires
on account of cost to burn soft coal.
This may often be done without
difficulty, but sometimes it is i'm
possible. ut all depends" Fur
naces and heating boilers are
rated" on the basis of hard coal
Of stove size: that Is, their heating
capacity, stated in catalogs and
handbooks, is based on hard coal
as fuel To get the same capacity
from furnace when burning soft
coal as when burning hard coal,
the crate must be at least twenty
Ave per cent larger. Additional
heating surface Is also required for
soft coal, because SCOT renders the
surface less effective.
A crate which has very fine OPEN
ings, say tlree-sixteenths inch
wide, is unsuited to soft coal be-
cause the ashes and clinker can not
be shaken through. Such a crate is
suited to the small sizes of hard
coal. Rocking CRATES are most sat

are to be used. 1t may be, and
often Is, the case that a heater of
large size is installed with the in
tention of burning either hard or
soft coal. Hard coal can usually
be burned satisfactorily in soft
coal furnace. Soft coal does not
burn satisfactorily In a furnace
made especially to burn hard coal.

crowding, the chances are that II
the draft is good and the CRATES

quire more frequent attention.

How to Make Your Furnace Shovel

N TORE than ever this Winter
VI will the householder seek

for Just few tons to see me
through until the worst Is over"
Others who were fortunate enough
to fill their bins during the Sum-
mer are wondering if they have
enough of supply to keep their
furnaces going all Winter
In both cases it behooves the
man who wishes to keep his house
warm to economic on coal, on the
one hand, on what he may be able
to obtain, on the other on what he
has. No more opportune advice can
be given than that which shows the
FAMILY which doesn't depend on the
nat or apartment house janitor for
heat how to get maximum of heat
from minimum of coal.
Such advice is given in the cur
rent Good Housekeeping Magazine
by Kenneth G. Smith, director of
engineering extension in Iowa State
College.
"As with the high cost of living.
so with the high cost of heating;
certain foresighted measures may
be taken to KEEP his 'highness' with
In reasonable limits" says Mr..
smith. These measures include
Keeping the heating plant In Al
condition, choosing the most suit
able and economical kind Of coal
for your particular plant and your
particular locality, and, finally.
proper firing Of the fuel that you
use.
Our method of obtaining heat is
to burn fuel Of some kind. Whether
this heat is distributed through the
house by steam, hot water or warm
air Is immaterial for the present
purpose of explaining the principles
OF the economical use of fuel in a
heater Of any kind. OF course, the
time to get a furnace ready for
Winter is when 1t is laid W for the
Summer. Then any major repairs
should be made. But the plant
should also be looked over in the
Fall. First examine the chimney
to see that it Is free from leaks,
either above or below the smoke
pipe hole. Houses formerly heated
by stoves often have smoke-pipe
holes in different rooms. These
should be tightly closed in case the
chimney is utilized for the furnace.
Leaks of any kind spoil the draft.
To see II the chimney is clean, hold
a mirror in the smokepipe hole in
the basement and sight up the
chimney just as a submarine com.
mander sights through his peri
scope. Torpedo any chunks of SCOT
that clog the chimney. The smoke
pipe from the furnace should be
