Possibility Of Saving Coal.

An ordinary passenger locomotive
consumes a pound of fuel for every
81 feet it travels. Each unnecessary
stop. made with heavy freight or
passenger train, represents a fuel loss
of from 800 TO $50 pounds of coal, de
pending on ME weight Of the train
the length of the stop and the grade
conditions. A brake-line air leak on
a train of 80 freight cars has been
known to cause a loss of as much as
2.540 pounds of coal in a ten-houi
period. The loss of coal each time a
modern locomotive pops off for five
minutes is about IS pounds. If loco
motive. firenfen were to save n little
more than one; shovelful Of coal out
of each ton used, the total saving
would be equal to nearly one per cent
of all the coal hamlled.-Floyd W

RAPID CITY PLANS TO
CONTROL PUBLIC DANCES


The city council of Rapid City
has enacted an ordinance for the
control and supervision Of public
dance halls and it will be strictly
enforced, according to the reports
that come from that city. The
movement for the enactment of
the ordinance was inauguarated by
the women Of Rapid City.
The provisions of the new ordi-
lance grant the mayor authority to
appoint a special officer, and it is
planned to have woman appoint
ed police matron so she can be
present at all public dances, and
see that they are conducted pro-
perly.
