Holy Week and Its attendant
church services. which by the way
are being held in practically every
church in Pendleton this year. have
put a quietus on social activities for
the week and the gravity of the in
ternational situation bids fair to ex.
tend the period for an indefinite
length. Practically every diversion
that is planned for after Easter has
as its motif the raising of funds for
one or the other patriotic organiza-
tion and every afternoon gathering
is prefaced with the word very in
formal" But in spite of all this
the time viii be far from dull for
the work of patriotism is one that
calls forth the fullest ana best efforts

RECEIVERS COAL FROM ASHES
Process 10 Devised In Holland for Pre-
venting Great Waste That Aver.
age Furnace Causes.

! The ashes removed from the average
furnace often contain at least 20 per
cent Of unburned coal or coke, and
this percentage IL sometimes as high
rs rs. In Holland, where the war has
caused great shortage Of fuel, a
process for recovering this combusti.
BILE material has been devised.
The refuse is ground and then put
through sleeves OF four different sizes.
Each part Is put into separate basin
containing liquid somewhat heavier
than water, and the whole is stirred
thoroughly. This causes the lighter
particles, which are coke and uncon-
pumed coal, to rise to the surface.
When they have been scooped out and
ened they make excellent fuel, while
The heavier particles can be used, it
Is said, In making a flne grade Of con-
crete.
I The liquid employed in the separat.
ing process IL said to be inexpensive
and a refuse product Of factories.
