Is Russia Coming back?" This is
one of the momentus questions that
are being asked today. Leon Trot-
zkv has asked the French to assist
him with officers to train a new
army to fight Germany. The proposal
has met with favor with the entente
allies. 1t would mean much if Russia
were to raise an army OF consider
able strength and strike Germany on
the east at this critical time. The
following despatch dated at Paris
yesterday, tells Of the plan:
The, statement that Leon Trotzky
has approached the entente with a
new proposal. manifesting desire
to organize military resistance to the
Germans with the eventual support
of French military missions, appears
today in the Petit Parisien.
There can be no better way of de-
filming the attitude of the entente In
this matter" the newspaper says,
than by saying again that the allies
have been and continue to be willing
to support all elements in Russia
which desire to oppose the German in

the government.

FOR REFUGEES

This is old clothes week. The Red Cross of Birmingham has been instruct ed to ask everyone in the chapter to donate clothing for the coming winter when the refugees in France will be needing it sorely. The Red Cross of America plans to send so many tons of clothes to Europe, and every chapter in the United States is requested to eontri- bute it's quota Good substantial warm clothing is especially requested. It is not necessary to have 1t mended, but it should be brushed neatly and made as clean as possible, Tie the clothes into a bundle If you can not bring it down town it will be called for by motor.
 Tuesday and Wednesday, the 24th and 18th, will be collection days Have a white streamer on your door bell or on a pillar of the porch where it can be seen. The flying squadron will go on these days through the city and will call at every house where this white stream CT is seen.
 Headquarters for the collection will be at Newsome's on Third avenue, near Twentieth street. All who can bring their bundles are requested to take them there Mrs Charles Denegre, chairman of the collection will receive clothing every day during the week, from 2Srd to 3Oth

Food Saving No Real Hardship

The saving of food has been so eff ficiently preached and has been so well organized by patriotic women following the advice of the government that we may merely remark that we can do still better without harm to ourselves and with great benefit to the war cause. Most people are better off for restricting the use of sugar. consumption tax of several cents a pound would do little harm in con- nection with the rationing. Most peo- pie make their tea and coffee far too strong. There should be large revenue tax on tea and coffee, which everybody could pay with ease by the simple device of using more hot water
 It has not been creditable to mnlAvlS of otherwise intelligent American women that they know so little about cooking and real food values The country is fast learning to use more peas and beans and less meat. It is

Forcing" the Furnace

From Save 4o,0O0,000 TonsF by
 George H. Cushing, in the American Review of Reviews.
 It is when the furnace is being forced that the waste of coal oc- CUTS. This is for three reasons: First, when the weather turns cold, the chances are that the velocity of heat through the walls and windows or the house becomes much raster than under normal conditions. That calls | for an increased amount or neat Tn | side the house. and the average man IS | inclined to be extravagant with coal | to avoid discomfort.
 Second, when the weather IS coid ana when the wind blows strongly the draft through the fire is for both req sons stronger. This without any cnanSe | of the Hampers would mean that the | fire would burn faster Few men real l ize this fact. So they open the damp CTS and give the cold wind a double chance by this free burning of coal will pass directly up the chimney With \ the draft instead of remaining in the | furnace to do it's work l In hot water plants the demand for
 more heat in the house compels the furnace to pump the water raster through the pipes. If those pipes are smal the furnace must act as force l PumP' d luHClloh II WdS HWY t---~~-- l ed to fulfill.
 ] So the danger is that most of the
 heat generated by burning coal will never be felt in the house, but VII pass off up the chimney and be wasted. l Third, the tendency of the average householder is to force too much ar | through the furnace. He goes on the | theory that the stronger the draft. the hotter the fire. Therefore, he opens, I it may be, the ash-pit door wide ana allows the air to rush in. He says that. then, he will get enough air ! through the coal pile to make good hot fire. As matter of fact. 1t is easily possible to force so much air through that it will actually cool down l the fire. Too much air wastes coal. and dissipates heat. Not enough air | saves coal but does not produce the de- | sired heat. Half way between, of course, is the right idea.
