Edwim A. Jackson & Bro, Imc.
A recent article in the Sunday Trib-
une reminded house owners Of the
comfort to be had from the use Of Il
real fireplace. Health and comfort are
both enhanced by the building of log
fire on cool nights in fall and on
stormy days in winter.
The man Of the city will be depend
emit on his coal dealer for his wood
supply, but the family in the suburb
can get real hickory or oak logs from
a neighboring farmer.
A very satisfactory and economical
way to secure logs for a large fireplace
is to have some teamster pick up dis
carded railroad ties, which can be had
for the taking, along the side Of any
railroad.
These ties are Of seasoned wood, usu-
ally we'll soaked with oil, and are ideal
for use in open fires.
Andirons Arc Necessary
Tho logs are properly supported on
andirons, which should be selected as
to size, design and material to har-
monize with the mantel and with the
fireplace opening.
AS q general rule andirons for a re-
ception room or bedroom which Is fin
ished with white woodwork are in pol
ished brass, following the old Colonial
patterns, unless the room is in a par
ticular period, in which case, Of course
the andirons should harmonic.
Hall, billiard room and dining room
usually require nm andiron Of iron OF
steel finished in black, hammered gray
or in bright metal, as may be required
to match the other metal work Of the
room.
In all cases It Is best to have a de-
sign that is substantial in character
and if the mantel opening does not per-
nit of large andirons the small design
should at least be strong and not of g
light, fimsy construction.
To make it convenient to place wood
in the fireplace the better grade OF
andirons have curve Immediately be-
hind the ornamental front. This brings
the bars which support the wood close
together and enables one to put logs
between the andirons at the front and
still have the logs properly supported
when in the fireplace.
The length of shank should CORE
spond with the depth Of the fireplace
unless it is desired to have a back
log, in which case the shank is abou,
six inches less than the depth Of the
fireplace.
A back log is usually large and un-
seasoned so that it will burn slowly

tanner, and was in the section when
word cams that General Washington
would be trapped unless the British
were delayed. Renald and his son fell
in behind stone wall. The boy had
no firearms but hurled stones at
Howe's men.
In 1870 the boy, who had changed his
name to Andre Arrow when he grew
up, came back to Westchester Square
and bought part of the old battlefield
and took to farming it. In 1903 he
acquired additional land on Williams
bridge road, and again in 1882 added to
his holdings. When he died in 1866
he left to his sons big stretch of
property, part of which is to be sold at
auction on October by Bryan L.
Kennedy.
The property is close to the center
Of commercial and building activltles.
The subway that runs through Licking
ton Avenue in Manhattan serves this
section. Other lines are reached from
Westchester Square by trolley lines.

Westchester Square Farm, Held by Arnolu
Family More Than 100 Years To Be Sold

Historic interest attaches to theT
Arrow property on Williamsbridge
road, near Westminster Square, which
is to be subdivided into building sites
and sold at auction the end Of this
month. Not only has the family held
it for more than century, but it is
land on which the Colonials delayed
General Howe long enough to permit
the escape of General Washington
and his men from a trap set for them.
1t was memorable day because had the
patriots failed in their mission in
October, 1776, there might not be now

CHECK ADDRESS,
SEAL NEATLY, Is
POSTOFFICEP PLEA

Postmaster Harry P. Simpson
has mailed to firms and individuals
most frequent users of the post
office, the appended suggestions IL
hopes of improving the service b.
means of cooperation:
Frequent mailings through
out the day insure a more ef-
fcient handling as well as a
more prompt dispatch and de-
livery of mail. A heavy per
cent OF the mail dispatched
from this Office arrives between
the hours of and IL p. m. and
while 1 am glad to say that
large mailers have, for the
most part, responded to the
suggestions frequently sent
out, and pleas to mail frequent
ly, a considerable proportion of
the people seem disposed to
mail their letters late in the
afternoon. This causes delay
all around.
1t is observed that a number
of business firms fail to con-
suit the postal guide. and fire.
quently address mail to towns
where no postoffice is located.
This, of course, proves a direct
loss of time and postage to the
mailer, and delays other mail,
as the clerical force of the
postoffice must handle this
class of mail, cancel, and re-
turn it.
1t is often the case that
heavy mailers are accustomed
to use too much water in seal
ing the envelopes. AS a conse-
quence, the envelopes stick to-
gether, and the addresses are
often obliterated or mutilated,
and the stamps in some in
stances are torn off entirely.
Large or small quantities Of
mail. after being sealed. should
be spread out to dry thorough
~, and afterward tied in a bun
die with the stamps all faced
the same way Nail treated in
this manner speeds up dispatch
and the time lost in facing and
separating the mail can be used
to better advantage in distri-
button.
These instances are cited, not
in a spirit of complaint, but
merely as points which if the
Users of the postal service will
remember will prove OF mu-
tual advantage.
