CONSERVATION OF FUEL
 BY LOCAL FACTORIES
instructions Issued by Fuel Adminis-
 trator M. E. Jensen.

At a meeting of chairmen of local fuel committees held at Hartford on Wednesday, July 10th. the matter of economy in the use of coal by fac tories was considered, and Martin E. Jensen, local fuel administrator, has announced the following regulations:
 Factories using steam power will presently receive questionnaires to be filled out and filed with the state fuel administrator. After the filing of these papers, personal inspection of power plants will be made by United States fuel inspectors and factories will be rated in five classes according to ths degree of thoroughness with which they carry out measures of economy in fuel.
 It is probable that the following eight recommendations will be made: Fuel-That means be provided for measuring and recording the fuel used each day and by each shift.
 Water-That boiled feed water be heated by exhaust steam or waste heat and. measured.
 Air Supply-That correct amount Of air be supplied to the fuel, and that hreper means be provided for measuring and regulating the draft.
 Clean Heating Surfaces-That boiler heating surfaces be kept clean inside and out
 Boiler and Furnace Settings-That the furnace and setting be kept in good repair and free from air leak age.
 msulation-That exposed steam sur faces wasting heat by radiation be covered With suitable insulating ma tefial
 Engine Room and Heating System That wherever possible exhaust steam be utilized to the exclusion of direct steam from the boilers. The plant should be designed and operated te produce no more exhaust than can be efficiently utilized in heating and pro- cess work.
 Supervision-That a competent em- ploye or committee of employees be de- tailed to supervise the work of fue conservation in the boiler and engine plants, and that competent commit tee be appointed in charge of the worl of fuel conservation in the building! and shops outside of the power plants This preliminary report on the sit uation was obtained at an interview with the chairmen of local fuel com mittees

In June the war savings stamp sales made through the local postofice were the largest of any month since the savings system was inaugurated and the people of Norwich during that month purchased $36.000 worth of stamps or in reality saved that amount. Postmaster John P Murphy on Mon day stated that so far this month the sales of stamps amounted to s1S,oe0, with the prospects of July far exceed ing the record set during the previous month. The advantages of the war savings plan may be seen by the fact that many of those who were solicited during the drive last month have stated that they regret that they had not purchased thrift stamps earlier.
 Letter carriers are now furnished with the names of those people on their routes who have signed pledges and call on them with the stamps, thus saving the purchaser the bother of going to the local postoffice Those people who purchase stamps at the windows in the postoffice may, if they so desire, designate which route they are on and have the sale of the stamps
