HOW TO SAVE COAL
DR.. Garfield Advises People to Keep
Houses Cooler.

ENCdSCS OOONCis
Through the chamber OF commerce
of the United States, DR.. II. A. Gar
field, fuel administrator, has appealed
to American business to assist in the
conservation of coal. DR.. Gariield's
appeal appeared in the official publi-
/ cation OF the chamber, in part as fol-
lows:
1T is the duty of every American
to save coal this winter. There is
plenty of coal in the ground, but
there is a shortage OF cars and of
labor at the mines.
81 every family will reduce the
temperature OF its house at least five
degrees, Il will mean that millions
!. Of tons of coal will be saved and the
health OF the nation will be improved
This is not hardship; it is q health
measure, for most Americans live
in superheated houses. The coal sup
ply can be conserved by more ecoEo-
mical methods of firing, by sitting
ashes, by watching the furnace door
and by heating only the parts of the
house in use To do this is a public
duty II the householders OF the
country save one ton cut of II, they
save 100000 tons of coal
The bureau of mines states that
many plants waste as much as 30 per
cent Of the coal they buy through un.
scientific firing and inadequate equip
ment II is the patriotic duty of every
manufacturer to consider the prob
lem Of scientific firing and to see that
his tlromen are properly instructed.
Advice and information can be had
{ for the asking from the bureau of
, mine.
The solution of the coal problem
les largely with the American people
| The government cannot save coal fer
them; they must save II for them.
I selves. They must not rely wholly
upon price fixing, nor upon the al
1 ready over taxed transportation sys
TENS OF the country, nor upon the eff
/ fort TO increase production, nor upon
the apportionment OF coal. nor upor
the enforcement of the law. All must
cooperate.

sMueeLERs, NOTCH ROAD
Considerable Work Already Cone on
States Scenic Highway.


Considerable progress has been
made on the repairs to the Snug.
glers' Notch road, for which the state
has appropriated $4,000. The road
viii run from the Morse mill below
the notch through to the Big Spring.
and II is said that there viii not be
mere than an eight per cent grade
anywhere. State Supervisor Bates
says he will have a road that will be
good for automobile passage. but of
course not up to the standard of state
roads. The road from the Big Spring
through TO Stowe, via the Barnes
Camp has been put in good condition.
r. S. Currier, district highway SUI
peryisor says:
III has been the desire of the high
way department to put the approach
to Smugglers' Notch into such condi.
ton as to make reasonably easy ap.

II do not mean by this that II will
be found In as good shape as the
state expects to put It in future years
for II will lie necessary for some time
to maintain water bars in this road
which are not pleasant for rapid traf
