Possible to Be Too Abrupt.

It is said that w. S. Gilbert, the English dramatlst, when he called on his friends, always made quicl, exit. His alert temperament was evidently opposed to dawdliug. He knew how tedious lingering farewells could be.
 Now and then one meets some one of his kind, alert, definite. considerate of others and of himself as well.
 But, of course, in this regard 1t is possible to overdo. There are those who leave so quickly that they create a sense of abruptness and possibly of concern as we'll. Their departure may be followed by such remarks as Why did he leave in that way?" or Could she have been hurt about anything7"

SOFT coal STORAGE
FIRE HAZARDS WHICH SHOULD NJ
CAREFULLY WATCHED BY
J. PROPERTY OWNERS

Large quantities Of soft coal are be-
ing stored by mercantile establishments
and industries because of the fear of q
fuel shortage during the winter. The
danger of spontaneous combustion in
this causes serious fire hazard
and unusual care should be taken by the
owners Of such properties. The hazard
can be reduced by proper selection of
the grades and sizes of soft coal. and
the exercise Of proper precautions in
its handling and storage.
Where large quantities Of soft coal
are stored in the open it should be in
separate piles, so that a fire starting
will not spread through the entire sup.
ply, and the affected pile can be ex-
tinquished or moved. Where the coal
is stored In Easements the Fuel Admin.
istration suggests the following precau.
lions: ....~~... -. -..~<~' -
!. Coal the size of walnut or LARGER
is well adapted for storing. Mine run,
slack of screenings, on account Of fine
coal and dust, are not suited for storage
in a basement. -
Il. Never place coal near a hot pipe,
against a hot furnace or any other hot
surface. .
Is. Do not mix ashes with the coal. as
there may be live Goals in the ashes.
4. IF the coal must be wet down, wet
only the portion that is to be used i'm.
mediately. -~
5. It is very important that pieces of
waste, oily rags, sticks, paper and other
rubbish should not he mixed or allowed
to come in contact with the coal.
10. Special attention should be paid to
the proper cleaning Of flues and chin.
neys regularly.
