shock troops are advancing in the

London.-Dr. z. J. Wheeler, editor
of Public Opinion, looks the part of
an eminent scholar, but he speaks
United States idiOm, occasionally to
the mystification of walters who serv-
ed him during the tour of the Ameri-

Wheeler arrived in the dining room
late for dinner and, having an en-

to have dinner as quickly as possible.
"T will have no soup and you can cut
out the fish," he told an attentive
Swiss.
The waiter withdrew silently. Pres
entity he was observed in earnest con-
sultatiOn with the head waiter. The
latter dignitary called another waiter
into conference. After a few minutes
deliberatiOn, heads close, the waiter
slipped away and came back with a
knife.
He picked up the platter and, going
to Wheeler's place, very carefully ex-
tracted the fish bones.

HOW NAVY CONSUMES COAL
Great Problem Put Up 70 Fuel Ad-
mlnlStratlon to Increase supply.

Some idea OF the problems put up
to the Fuel Administration may be
gained by consideration Of the en-
larged demands made by the navy
alone. The questions OF transporta-
tion, storage and labor connected
with this supply were worked out By
other agencies OF the government,
but here is the requiSition made upon
the coal supply of the nation for the
operation OF its greatly enlarged
navy:
For the fiscal year 1917, Secretary
Daniels department called for about
100000 gross tons OF bituminous.
but in the same period for 1918 the
demand was for over 100000 toms
In fact, 3,000,000 tons, or 10000 car
loads more than before. 30 per cent
OF which was delivered at tide water.
That literally meant 1,200 more trains
of so cars eaeh-a sizeable undeTtak-
ing.
But the demand for anthracite also
increased, being three times as great
as in 1917, and 1t took 100000 bar
rels OF fuel oil and 100000 gallons
of gasoline to supply the navy, which
used also 100000 gallons OF distillate
as fuel.
This tremendous increase had 70
be so proportioned among producers
that the factories engaged in making
essential war supplies should not be
hampered and so that public utilities.
houses OF business and homes could
have their needs filled.
How we'll the Fuel Administration
has done its work can be judged from
the fact that coal is available in Ohio
wherever needed now.

CARING FOR HOT-AIR FURNACES

The following suggestions nave
been made by the Fuel Administra-
tion for the operation of hot-air fur
naces. Their observance will halp
save coal for essential industries and
result in more comfort:
1. Provide cold-air drops from up
per floors so as to insure a return
circulation from all rooms to the air
intake of the furnace.
2. Regulate the window OF the
cold-air box SO as to avoid too great
a current OF outside air, especially
on very cold days.
3. Always keep the water con-
tainer in the air-jacket filled with
clean water. Moist air heats much
more readily than dry air, and is
better for health, as well as more
comfortable.
4. It is advisable to keep a jar
of water near one Of the first floor
registers that sends out the most
heat. Change the water frequently,
preferably every day.
5. Hot-air pipes should have
good pitch upward from the furnace,
and should be of sufficient diameter.
They should also be wrapped with
sheet asbestos. A separate pipe for
each room with turn damper near
the furnace is good rule. Each
pipe should be labeled, so that GER
tain rooms can be shut OF at the fur
mace when desired.
6. Be sure the fire-box is gas
tight. All cracks must be thoroughly
cemented or a new section put in.
otherwise coal gas will escape into
the air-jacket and be carried up d.
rectly to the rooms.
