N. E. COAL Committee
Offers Suggestions for Saving
Coal and Avoid Waste.

To the Citizens of New England:
Coal is essential to the successful prose-
cution of the war. Every available pound
can be put to use. IT is the patriotic duty
of every citizen to AVOID WASTE OF
COAL and to consider how his coal re-
quirements can be reduced.
New England in particular is confront
ed by most critical situation. Two
thirds of New England's coal supply nor
mally comes by water. Many vessels en-
gagged in carrying coal to New England
ports have, however, already been taken
by the Government, and more will have
to be surrendered for Government service
as the war goes on. Our railroads are
now burdened to the limit of their capac-
ity and cannot take care Of the extra load
thus thrown on them. With these limita-
tions on our transportation facilities comes
the greatest demand for coal ever known
in New England. Under these circum-
stances every New England coal user
must help.
We ask all
HOusehOlders
A. Not to use coal for heating before
the first of November, or after the first of
May, unless the house temperature is be-
low 60 degrees.
B. To burn wood wherever possible.
G. To use small oil heaters when it is
necessary to keep certain parts Of the
house at special temperature.
D. To reduce the coal used in the
stoves. Do your cooking at one part of
the day. Use wood whenever you can.
E. To be economical with gas; and
with electricity where it is generated by
coal-using plants. Turn off house lights
when not needed, if only for few mo-
ments.
We ask those who control
Office Buildings, Hotels, Apart
menu houses
A. Not to use coal for heating before
the first of November or after the first of
May, unless the temperature Of the build
ing is below GO degrees
B. Not to heat buildings in excess of
65 degrees.
G. To bank fires at all practicable
times, and when building is to be only
partially used to turn off heat wherever
feasible. Business buildings not used af-
ter pm. should bank fires at pm.
D. To reduce to the barest necessities
all illumination by gas or by coal-made
electricity.
The times call for more than usual skill
and care in putting coal into stoves and

Our efforts should be centered
constantly on our soldiers, who are

our honor. Their success in the field
is contingent upon their having prop

best be procured by systematic con-
servation, which is being handled by

cured only through the expenditure
of money, which is being obtained
by the issuance of liberty bonds.
"Whereas, these facts must be met

Donald was entirely ignorant. The

GERMAN PATENTS AID DYE INDUSTRY

America In 1914. American chem
lists have succeeded in dupllcat-
Ing on short notice many Of the
processes which were built up by
generations OF German dyestuffs ex-
perts. A greater impetus will be given
to the Industry, according to American
experts, when the amendment to the
patent laws places patented German
processes at the disposal of American
manufacturers. There are 40 firms in
this country In the new dyestuffs In
dustry now pending 80,000,000 pounds
Of dyes year.
While the war has created this great
industry for America and has multi
piled the output of many other indus
tries, 1t has also taught Europe the.
use of American labor-saving machln-
cry and Of American labor-saving de-
vices, according to Albert Il. Parker Of
the firm Of Marks & Clerk, English
patent lawyers. Mr.. Parker says that
American manufacturers In the past
frequently failed to take out patents
In England and In other countries be-
cause the patented article was pro-
duced in this country on such scale
that there was not the slightest fear
of competition abroad.
American manufacturers should re-
member that the war has resulted in
introducing American methods and
machinery all over the world and is
educating workmen so that 1t will not
be safe to rely, after the war, on the
belief that American machinery can
continue to offset the cheaper labor
costs in foreign countries" said Mr..
Parker.
