Consumption of coal was reduced
by Il million and quarter tons during
the seven months operation of the
daylight saving" law, according to fig
ures compiled by the United States
fuel administration. When the clocks
were set ahead an hour, beginning Sun
day March 81, and ending October 27,
the fuel administration planned to gath
err facts from many sources In various
sections of the country to determine
the saving in fuel likely to result from
the operation of the law. These data
have been compiled and form the basis
of the estimate of the amount of coal
saved.
In one district from which definite
facts were obtained it was shown that
the saving of coal was 171A tons per
1000 of population for the period of
seven months. These figures were
checked against records obtained from
other places In different sections hav-
ing the same relative conditions, and
from the information thus collated the
estimate of 1.250,0O0 tons saved is
reached. The fuel administration says
that the daylight saving" plan in Eu-
ropean countries has been effectual
chiefly in the seven longer months.

Nine enlisted men of the navy who

Combination Tar and Gravel Heating
Device in Operation.

outside is made up in steps consisting
of perforated metal plates. The Y
shaped top acts as a reservoir bin and
the gravel feeds down the steps and
out at the bottom. The perforations
in the step plates allow the moisture
in the gravel to escape readily as 1t is
turned into steam by the heat of the
fire, thereby making it possible to heat

Swift & Company
Has Not Jest Growed"

Swift & Company in fifty years of well
ordered growth, has become ore of the
great national services because it has
learned to do something for the American
people which they needed to have done
for them. in the way in which they
preferred to have it done.
1t has met each successive demand, in
the changing conditions of national life,
by getting good meat to increasing mil
lions effectively, efficiently, economically,
and expeditousy.
The Swift & Company packing plants,
refrigerator cars car routes, branch
houses, organization and personnel of
today are the practical solutions, born of
practical experience, to the food problems
of half a century.
Because of all these elements working in
correlation and unison, Swift & Company
is able to supply more and better meat to
more people than would have been pos
sible otherwise, at a net profit per poundof
meat so low Ia fraction of a cent? that the
consumer price is practically unaffected.
Strip away any portion of this vast,
smooth-running human machine, and you
make large part of the meat supply
uncertain, lose the benefit ofhalfa century
of fruitful experience, and scatter the
intelligent energies of men who have
devoted life work toward meeting the
needs of a nation in one vital field.

1SI trucks and chassis of different
sizes aud types, and 1854 ten-ton trail
ers and 100 four-wheel trailers. Or
GerS for 100 four-wheel drives have
been placed. Other orders include $4,000

corps.
More than 100000 gallons of strip
