National Air Means More.
A year ago at the chautauqua the
audience rose in struggling groups as
the national hymn was played, the
first bars having been finished before
the entire audience was standing
Yesterday the audience rose as one
person at the opening note Of the
Star Spangled Banner. A little group
|of French women sitting at one SIDE
OF the tent applauded the opening
sound of the Marseillaise and rising
gave the tip to the audience which
promptly stood for the national hymn
of our ally. Audiences in this country
are paying the national hymns OF all
the allies the honor to stand waile
they are played, this means of course
that they stand for America, since II
is set to the music q rne national
hymn Of the British empire. 1t is to
be regretted that few American audi
ences recognize the Italian national
song when it is played. We all sui
have much to learn in the matter OF
etiquette to the flag and to our nation
al hymn. A number Of people OUTSIDE
the tent yesterday sat during the play
ing of the Star Spangled Banner, a
number of men and women wicked
about, the men wearing "rfr ha's.
All are supposed to stand the men
and boys always with uncovered
heads. We ought to learn, too, before
the war is over that in parade the
boys going into the army ought to be
clapped and cheered every inch OF
| the way. Little boyA -nould be
taught by precspt and example that
their hats should come off as the flag
goes by. When men are marching in
long lines carrying little flags, custom
does not demand hats off, but when \

RY GEoRGE u. CUsaING
lEdItor Of Blaek DIamond.l

When it comes to the furnace a
night start with this common prac
fice: We all want to hold fire over
night We do not want 10 start a fresi
flre every morning.
Then the question IS: Which uses III
the most coal-to allow the house tenn.
perature TO drop low at night and 10 re-
store 1t early in the morning OF TO keer
II reasonably high all night and have 10
raise il but slightly in the morning.
The fact is that we must have TO burn
some coal TO keep the fire going all
night. Which, then, wastes the most
coal-to restore the house temperature
to 6S after It has been down to 40 to
10 degrees or TO maintain the tempera-
ture all night at 55 TO 5s degrees and
then raise It the needed 40 TO ~ degrees
In the morningg
II you are using either anthracite or
coke, there IS no dispute on that point
and can be none. II IS vastly cheaper
10 keep the temperatures up TO 5s de
gres all night
II you are using bitumlnous coal. it Is
a toss up with the odds slightly in
favor Of low house iemperature-say
40 to i5 degrees--all through the night.
The reasons for this opinion are as
followss II you use either anthracite
or coke, 30 allow the FIRE 10 drop down
10 where the house temperature is be-
low 40 means that the fire has become
very low. To get it up, you have TO
put on a strong draft-to force" the
flre.
After you have forced either an
thracite or coke 60 the point where the
house Is actually warm, the rate Of
burning aocelerstes even after you have
shut of the draft. Therefore, II you set
your mark at house temperature OF
20 degrees, the chances are that you
viii set It up TO IS before It begins 10
slow down as you intend. You have,
wasted enough coal to raise
the temperature that additional eight
degrees through about two hours.
To keep the house temperature-when |
burning anthracite or coke-at about IS
all night means that you have
but slight draft adjustments TO make in |
the morning. This never requires that |
you "force" the fire. Therefore, the fire /
