What the Coal
Section Does

The coal section has two eight
inch holes, and serves as room
and water heater, without practi-
cally affecting the cooking operation
in the electric oven, due to it's in
sulation. Careful tests were made
on these points. An anthracite fire
va. built, no electricity being ap-
piled. After three hours the tenn
perature of the oven had been raised
only to 90 degrees Cor 20 degrees
above the room temperature). This
difference would be negligible if the
oven were heated, and so would not
affect the charted directions for
cooking by the thermometer. Dur
ing the first hour and half no ef-
feet was produced at all. The
claims for the insulation of the
oven are, therefore, substantiated.
The efficiency of the coal-heated
water front was next tested. In
two hours after the fire was we'll
started the average temperature Of
the thirty gallons Of water in the
boiler was raised from SO to LAT
degrees Fair. The water at the ton
Of the boiler was 1863 degrees. The
connection was temporary one, and
under permanent conditions and
more efficient installation still
greater efficiency would probably be
obtained, although this is quite salts
factory. Approximately a s per
cent efficiency is indicated, and. with

A cooking with comfort and

These are some Of the points that

cleanliness and convenience of cleo

slowness and expense for surface

when we get the combination of coal

and heating the water in the boiler

PENNSYLVANIA DRIVES
! GATHER MOMENTUM
Volstead Act Looms as Bigger Issue
Than Either Of Two Big
Parties Desires.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISBURG. Pa, September A.
Independent party activities in Penn
sylvania have not caused chieftains
OF either the republican or demo-
cratic organizations to change their
plans and the headquarters Of the
two big parties will begin business
Immediately after Labor day, with
congressional seats as the principal
features Of the early stages Of the
campaign and the Volstead act more
of an issue than either one desires.
Advocates OF a modification of the
law have set up candidates in both
parties, and in. some districts their
endeavors to win seats may inter-
true in a, lesser degree Of legisla-
tive contests.
The republicans are driving in a
dozen districts and have forced dem
ocrats to begin work earlier than
usual. Senator Boies Penrose has
headquarters in Philadelphia and is
In command.
The farmer-labor party has started
to make it's campaign in Pennsyl-
vania under the name of the labor
party. and the close of the period for
filing nomination papers yesterday
showed that it would operate mainly
in mining counties. with some COM
panion movements in the two large
cities. The new American party, a
state issue party, has made fusion
with the prohibitionists whereby it
accepts the greater part Of the pro-
hibition ticket. including two woman
candidates for Congress at large. The
single tax and industrialist parties
are making a bid for national honors,
having filed complete electoral and
state tickets.
Women have been assessed for pay
ment Of taxes and registered or en-
rolled for the November election by
the hundreds of thousands in Penn
sylvania this week.

POLITICS IN CONNECTICUT
AT "NEAR fever" STAGE

HARTFORD. Conn, September 4
Especially .-Connecticut has reached
the near-fever stage in it's campaign,

major party conventions are close at
hand, the republicans meeting in this
city September and and the DEM
ocrats in New Haven September Is
and 16. The republican nominee for
governor is still a matter of guess
work, with several candidates in the
field, and nobody looking strong
enough to win without help from
somebody else. The democrats. how
ever, have their contest narrowed
down, having to choose between two
men, Representative Augustine Lon
ergan of Hartford and Mayor David
e, FITZGERALD of New Haven. The
former, who announced in July that
he would not be a candidate for Con-
gress again, this week threw his hat
into the gubernatorial ring. where
the FITZGERALD hat has been some
time, and unless the New Haven man
can be persuaded to take his out.
which doesn't seem likely. there will
be lively battle at the convention.
United States Senator George p.
Mclean will be temporary chairman
of the republican state convention
and Assistant Attorney General
Thomas J. Spellacy will be the tenn
porary chairman Of the democratic.

Harding's Popularity Growing.
Republican leaders are distinctly
pleased with the progress being made
by Senator Harding in New York
state. for they declare that the SEN
timent for him is increasing rapidly
each week. Two months ago Harding
was regarded in this state as a very
weak candidate. chiefly because Of the
fact that little was known Of him. At
this time, however. he is q much
stronger man and his strength is still
developing. He is being accepted BY
headed leader and a man capable Of
making an ideal President. The cam
paign administrators are making
q special effort to impress these quail
tiles of Senator Harding upon the peo-
pie Of this state, for they believe that
such a man will receive the majority
Of the Independent votes in this state.
Gov. Cox is not losing ground, it is
declared. but seems to have made but
little Roadway in New York state up
to the present. This gives Harding
a decided advantage at this date, but
it is not such a great advantage that
it cannot be overcome in short per-
iod. Democratic leaders are inclined
to admit the advantage for Harding
at this time. but declare that two
weeks Of real campaigning for the
democratic national candidates will
place them SO far in front that their
republican opponents cannot hone to
overcome their lead. This is regarded
as q very liberal prediction, but the
democrats have shown a supreme COM
ddence that is causing no end Of
worry among the republican leaders
and workers in many sections Of the
state. JOHN H. MANSELL.
