HOW THE BLASkE FUEL SAVER
SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

The problem of the conservation of fuel
now uppermost in the mind Of the think
ing public, can be approached in a new
light in view of the invention of the
Blaske Fuel Saver. This device saves
20 per cent to SO per cent of the fuel
consumed in all steam, hot water and
vapor heating plants, also hot air fur
naces and stoves, by conserving the waste
gases, cleansing the smoke, decreasing
the ashes, securing as near perfect com
bust on as possible, and insuring uniform
heat. G. A. Simmons will give every
householder free trial, and does not
hesitate to guarantee the invention. Call

FALLING STACK KILLS SEVERAL
 IN LYNN, MASS.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. 12.-Several per- sons are believed to have been killed and others injured when a chimney extending 30 feet above the Sprague box factory on Broad street was blown over in a gale today. The fall ing bricks crashed through the rear of the three story building in which many men and women were at work.
 Six persons had been taken to local hospitals within a short time after the acident and the police were digging in the ruins to release others whose cries for help could be plainly heard. At least 200 persons were at work in the building.
 Three bodies had been recovered at 9:30. Two of these were women, mangled beyond, recognition. The po- lice were still searching for other bodies.
 Many of the injured taken to hospi- tals and treated at drug stores and homes. had suffered broken limbs Employees on the third floor generally escaped, as the chimney fell toward the rear and crashed through the lower ffoors, causing the building to collapse, and in most instances eff ] fectually shutting off any chance to escape.
 The men and women had been at work less than an hour when, without warning, a sudden gust sent the chim- ney over. The streets were coated with ice and a heavy rain was falling, making the work of rescue hazardous. Police and firemen were rushed to the scene and scores of automobiles as- sisted in carrying away the injuredI The gale was felt in other parts of the city as well.

'TEUTON LEADERS SEEKING GROUND
 FOR AGREEMENT

London, Jan. 14-Reading between the lines in the German newspapers it becomes apparent that the confer ences. of military and political leaders now taking place in Berlin are re Earded as an effort to obtain some sort of an agreement among the Ger man parties as to war aims. At pres ent all signs point to the triumph of the militarists, although it is evident that the opposing forces are making strong fight The Munich Post says:
 "A death struggle is now. proceed ing between the reichstag peace ma jority and the military annexationist party. We do not yet know which side the government will support, and Egyptian darkness enshrouds the na- tion's peace aims"
 The minister of finance of Baden, ! Dr. von Bodman, said in the lower ! house on Saturday: '"The reichstag resolution is no longer valid, because it was based on the supposition that the desire for peace would be shared by our opponents. That is disproved by the speeches by Premier Lloyd i | NTSOES6 anu ITSSlueuL "IlSOu- I 6elCc now must be guided strictly by Ger many's interests"
 Speaking at Socialist meting in Bielsfeld. Herr Severing, a former member of the reichstag, said:
 "A majority of the German people would not shed 8 single tear over the resignation of Hindenburg, Luden- dorff or any general who opposes peace by understanding. The German people will pay most homage to the man who does most in the cause o1 peace"

The board of directors is fully ac- quainted with MT. Gamers attitude toward capital punishment, but he has never made that the basis of any complaint to the board"

VESSEL IS LOST
 AT SEA
Steamer Tex an Believed to Have Gone Down Immedi- ately After Striking Another Ship or An Iceberg Sent s. O. S.

An Atlantic Port, Jan. 14 - Agents of the American steamer Texan, of 14,000 tons, received advices today from naval authorities that she was sinking at sea, The location of the ship was not given. It was learned that a steamer arriv- ing today in another Atlantic port reported that 4 a. m. she picked up s. o. s. from the Texan, reporting that she had been struck amidships and was sinking.
 Lfetnats had been lowered. The last message from the Texan said Good bye-no more."
 Meanwhile the crew of 4S had taken to the boats.
 The Texan left here recently with a cargo of nitrate bound for a French port, agents of the vessel said.
 The Texans wireless operator re- ported that the starboard boats hal ben lowered, that the aft boat was lost and that an attempt was made to lower the forward boat. Oil from the ships hold was poured on the star board side in an effort to make sea conditions better for launching the lifeboats.
 The ship that arrived at another Atlantic port reported that she had tried to get into touch with the Texan direct, but had not been able to do so. The vessel picked up a, message to or from the steamer Willamette, say ing:
 'fGo to assistance of Texan"
 It was impossible, it was said here, to ascertain how the Texan had been struck. as there was apparently no message from a vessel with which she might have been in collision.
 Tn the absence of definite word re- garding the accident shipping men expressed the opinion that the Texan may have encountered an iceberg. Efforts were made by government wireless stations to communicate with ships with which the Texan might have been in collision. The fact that the Texan apparently was sinking soon after being rammed, without word as to assistance by another in saving the crew, made the accident puzzling, naval authorities said.
 Indirect information reaching the navy department said the Texan had been in collision with another ship, which has gone to the rescue of the Texans crew. As far as is knoWh no lives were lost in the collision. An official report on the accident is eX~ pected at the navy department.
 A government wireless station picked up a message later from the steamer Willamette, sent to an uni identified ship. saying:
 Will you escort me back to --?"
 The answer was not intelligible. Naval authorities who got the mes- sage said they were unable to deter mine whether the Willamette had been in collision with the Texan or had been damaged by the same agency that sent the Texan to the bottom Nothing more had been heard from the Texan at noon

DUNLOP SAYS
 J. s, OWNERSHIP WILL EASE TRAFFIC

Believing that the year 1918 will be even more prosperous than the pre- vious one for the oil industry, pro duction much greater, and more needed, Robert w. Dunlop, we'll known in the financial and economic ends of the petroleum industry, gave out the following interview to- day:
 ''The Federal operation of the rail roads is heartily welcomed by the oil producers and refiners, as any strengthening out of the traffic tangle certainly ought to facilitate the movement of oil tank cars. In the last four months the difficulties en- countered in the shiIsing of petro- leum products by tank cars have been cany. There are now about 58,0O0 tank cars in operation for carrying oil and gasoline. It is sincerely hoped that Director McAdoo will see to it that that number is increased in the next few months.
 'SThe year just closed has been the most prosperous in the history of all oil companies. With the enor- nous demands made by war and the universal, commercial and domestic uses to which oil is now applied, in- sures even greater prosperity for oil men this year. During the last few months crude oil has been produced at the rate of over 100000 barrels a day, the largest production ever known in this country. The refining capacity of 1,250,000 barrels a day is being rapidly increased to meet the unprecedented demands both home and abroad.
 ''In November 110 new oil com panies began operations, with a total capitalization of $12O,000,000 In December there were about 50 new concerns capitalized at $6O,OOO, 900. There was some apprehension over government price-fxing, but that is growing less every day. Last year the earnings of the oil companies reach ed hitherto unattained proportions and it does not take aa expert to see that the profits for 1918 will be many times in excess of their dividend re- | quirements It was stated the other | day that the net earnings last year | of one independent company amount | ed to 60 per cent. on the common stock after paying all charges. Never before has oil production attracted such prominent men of the financial world, and as great an amount of money as 1t does today. The answer to that is very simple:
 Oil is the third industry in the Unit
 ed States. No wheel turns without
 oil, and oil will win this war. Dunlop is a vice president of the
 Black Diamond Oil Co. of Chicago.

INVEST STACKER
 PENNIES IN WAR
 STAMPS OF J. s.

Hartford, Jan. 12-"Bring out the stamps and war savings certificates" is the slogan adopted for the Con- necticut War Savings Committee for a. movement which, it is hoped, will result in adding many thousands of dollars to Connecticut's allotment of $26, ,000, 900 in the national war sav- ings campaign.
 Local bankers estimated that there are at least 100000 pennies tied up in children's banks throughout the state. These lie idle from one years end to another, and bear no interest. Bankers admit that much money is withdrawn from circulation in the shape of pennies every year which, if have a decidedly beneficial effect on the finances of Connecticut.
 At the present time there is in evil dence a shortage of pennies that threatens to result seriously unless idle coppers are again put into circu- lation. Bankers hold the six-cent trolley fare partly responsible, but but they also declare that the hoard ing of pennies by children is also partly responsible for the scarcity of of these coins.
 War saving committee chairmen throughout Connecticut will soon be asked to instruct children to take their pennies to the post offices and banks, where they may be exchanged for thrift stamps and war savings certificates, the latter bearing interest at per cent, compounded quar- terly Bankers, however, ask the children to roll the pennies into bun dles of 25 to 50 each in order tc save the confusion which would re- suit from the placing of large quan- titles of uncounted pennies in their hands,
