DON'T BANK YOUR
FIRE WITH ASHES
State Fuel Administrator
len Weeges Says Practice
Wastes Coal
BETTER WAYS OF
CONSERVING FUEL

Charles H. Ten Weeges. local fuel
administrator today made public the
following plan by which householders
who have been banking furnace and
stove fires with ashes may find a better
way and at the same time save fuel:
Coal conservation Is the need OF the
hour. one plan commonly used by
hOusehOlders that is radically wrong
is the Use Of ashes in banking fires at
night. The anthracite industry. from
facts obtained by It's engineers, shows
q way by which much coal can be
saved.
Many househOlders seem 10 accept
a plan, upon retiring for the night. 20
place a layer OF ashes over the fire
with cOal-saving idea and 10 lower
the temperature from possibly 20 de-
grees. the day heat. 90 10 degrees or
lower during the night. II does the
trick, but is both a waste and an un-
necessary cooling Of the home.
Mining engineers have made scien-
tlnc and practical tests and the ashes
plaa has been found faulty. one eX-
pertinent weighed the coal necessary
to raise the temperature In The morn
ing Another plan was used and the
coal weighed. 10 svas found that bank
ing fires with ashes causes use Of more
coal in a day than 10 maintain a steady
slow fire below GO degrees with proper
drafts
General experiments taboo The use
OF ashes FOR banking fires In homes. 10
starts clinkcrs and Kills efforts at max
ing the needed hot fire In the morn
ing. one method which produces good
results is The use Of anthracite dust
bitumlnous screenings and slack coal
This dust can be bought from the re-
taller.
"Thc use Of it for the best results
comes from using a shovelful or two

ing room for the air 20 pass mp around

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March Is (Delayed) There
has been intense aerial activity on
the American sector OF the Lorraine
front. American observers, piloted by
French aviators, descending within
100 feet Of the German trenches and
pouring in IRE from machine guns.
stung by the activity of the Ameri-
cans in the Mont Sec region, the Ger
mans are now using their I'VE and
six-inch guns more and more. A few
weeks ago the Germans confined mott
of their Smelling to three-inch shells.
but now only about 20 per cent OF the
shells that come over are OF that
caliber.
The artillery activity throughout
Tuesday was comparatively light,
both sides Smelling support lines and
1he areas back OF the front, seeking
out battery emplacements.
The Americans have been active
with rife grenades, dislodging a Ger
man machine gun from an advanced
position and forcing snipers to
evacu&te their carnouhaged hiding
places. The occupants Of German
listening posts were compelled to
Zee, also.
The Boches are using a new style
of hand grenade called q potato
masher" from its shape. 1t has .
time fuse attached and bursts q few
seconds after It has landed.
