Rhode Island Newspaper
Flaws the Sodden South

THE Providence News is greatly
y exercised over conditions in the
south. Readers of The Age-Herald
will no doubt be entertained by ex-
cerpts from an editorial recently pub
lished in the News which purports to
mirror q state of affairs that would
be shocking indeed, if it were only
true.
Commenting on the reported cap
ture of two whisky "stills" in Ala
bama with capacity of 24O gallons
a day, the News says:
"This bit of news from prohibit
ton Alabama is not at all surpris-
ing. for the gentlemen down there
drink with smiling grace and do so
very often in the day. 1t is part
of their creed to make whisky with
All the freedom that good house

lated Alabama home is without its

do not believe in its indiscriminate
sale, either to cheap whites or to
the colored people. They have
their prohibition laws which to
them are as sacred as the constitu-
tional amendment giving the black
man a right to vote. The southern
gentlemen, class to themselves,
make their whisky in bulk through
agents. cheat the government of
tho tax and divide the product with
all the chivalry of burglars who
honestly square their loot"
There are equally heated references
to the high handed manner in which
the south has inflicted prohibition OF
the north, quite disregarding any par

During my months stay in the city
I have gotten to know Birmingham bet

COLUMB|ANS URGED
TO HEAT WITH COKE
Large Supply Is Now on
Hand or Expected Here
Soon.
TELLS OF IT'S USE
Government Bulletin Gives
Instructions for Its En-
ployment in Furnaces.
TELLS OF IT'S USE

The local fuel administration urges
everyone who can use coke in heating
their homes to substitute coke and
wood for coal, in view of the generous
sunply of coke on hand and in sight
for the next week or ten days. The
following instructions on how to burn
coke in house-heating equipment are
issued by the government Bureau OF
Mines:
"For starting a fire in the ordinary
furnace or boiler in six to ten-room
residence about ten to fifteen pounds
of kindling wood is needed. When
the wood is we'll ignited it should be
covered with a layer of coke about
civ inches thick. 1t will usually take
one hour to get this layer of coke
burning nicely.
"All the available draft should be
used 10 start a fire; the stronger the
draft the sooner the fire will start
After the first layer of coke is vel
ignited the furnace should be filled
TO a depth of IA to 1S inches, anC
the draft checked to allow the coke
TO burn slowly.
Must Regulate Draft Properly.
ITO get good results from a coke
fire the draft must be kept under con
troll. The amount OF draft required
depends on the weather conditions
and the size of the coke. General.
speaking, it takes much less draft t
burn coke than it does to burn an
thracite or bituminous coal. If TOT
strong a draft is used after the fire i
started. the coke will burn too fast
