NEEDED FOR war SUPPLIES
In Many States II Is Entirely Praeti-

Saving Would Amount to
10000 Cars.


fixed by the Government. This does
not mean, however, that the railroads
will be able to transport all Of the
coal which the consumers may desire
or want. Every freight car Is per-
forming a heavy duty; and the fewer
the cars that are used for coal the
greater will be the number available
for carrying other war commodities.
Manufacturers, of course, cannot
substitute wood for coal; neither can
city people. because this would result
in even greater railroad congestion.
Nor is it likely that in either the South
or the West the use of wood for fuel
can be greatly increased. But In
Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut.
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan. Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri
II ought to be entirely practicable In
many cases to replace coal with wood
for fuel. In these II states is a rural
population of about 2O,OOO,OOO, which.
it is estimated, uses annually about
100000 tons of coal. If, by substi-
tuting wood, One-quarter of the coal
burned by farmers and One-tenth of
the coal burned In villages could be
saved, the total saving would amount
to nearly 100000 tons, or between
$1,000 and 10000 carloads.
Reduce Coal Consumption.
