Between the right and wrong way to OPP
crate heater in the home, there may be rep
resented difference of $50 out of every 500
spent for coal. The fuel division Of the en-
cheering department of the U. S. navy claims
that the inefficient operator gets only $25
worth of heat when with little care he
might utilize SIS worth
Many householders spend $40 out of a
500 in creating draft and keeping shallow
fire when they need only spend SIS if they
regulate the drafts and fired properly.
Proper use of the draft hampers is the
most Important fajtor in making this saving.
In most heaters and furnaces, there are four
hampers; one in the ash pit door, one in the
coaling door, turn damper in the smoke
pipe, and check damper located at the back
Of the elbow of the smoke pipe.
The check damper is usually an opening in
the flue pipe covered with hinged LID. When
the lid is closed, the full chimney draft is eff
fective and the heat flies up the flua. When
the lid is lifted, the chimney draws air from
the room instead of drawing the gases out Of
the furnace. This dalper and the turn damp
er in the smoke pipe, should be about three
quarters closed after the fire is burning well
to get the most heat into the room.
The damper in the coaling door supplies
air over the fire which is needed to burn the
gases rising from the fuel bed. When soft
coal is burned a large volume Of gases rises
from the fuel bed after the coal is added.
The damper in the coaling door must be
opened enough to permit the entrance of the
air necessary for burning these gases. After
the smoky gases cease to rise from the fresh
ly fired coal, the quantity Of air supplied over
the fuel bed be reduced by partly clos
ing this damper. In burning soft coal, it

4 PIT of His O10,s Digging
HAT distinguished Republican, Senator
Borah, who introduced the resolution

"HAT distinguished Republican, Senator
Borah, who introduced the resolution
that led to the Washington conference
en- disarmament last winter, now declares
that those solemn deliberations and trumpet
ed treaties have been "whol. without re-
suits" No wonder there is distrust of gov
ernments, he adds when one recalls the
enthusiasm of the people everywhere over
this first step toward relieving the world OF
it's deadliest curse, recalls the assurances
given as to carrying out and completing the
work of the conference, and then contem-
plates the apathy, the indifference, not to
say the betrayal which has followed. If the
work of this conference SHOULD be Drougnt
to naught, as many things now Indicate, 1t
will be the most hideous betrayal of human
ity since The war"
More of truth and more of error could
hardly have been packed into so few lines
T. Senator is altogether right in saying tnat
the people everywhere were enthusiastic over
this step toward preventing war; but alto
gether wrong in terming it the first STEP

this conference come tC naught would De
hideous betrayal of humanity; but wrongly
that it would be the most hideous since
the war The "first" step toward a better

the covenant Of the League OF Nations, while
the ''most' hideous betrayal of humanity was
the provincial politics and the petty spleen
that robbed the noble instrum mt of its great
strengthen act in which, sad to tell, Mr..
Borah himself led the onset.
The Senator, doubtless, proceeded accord
ing to his lights; and for his splendidly ear
nest advocacy of the principles behind the
Washington conference he merits his coun-
try's respect and the worlds. But the SUI

should be slightly open at all times. This is
the most difficult damper to adjust because
there is no way to tell the completeness OF
combustion.
The damper in the ash pit door regulates
the flow of air through the fire, and the
amount of air flowing through the fire de-
termnes the amount of coal that the fur
mace can burn in IN hour. To control the
rate of burning and SO regulate the amount
of heat this damper and those to the chin
ney are adjusted
To make the fire burn faster, close the
check damper and open the ash pit damper.
To make fire burn slower open the check
damper and artly close the damer in the
ash it door. Some people open the coaling
door to check the fire. Such procedure is a
fuel waster.
The shallow fire is also wacteful. The
fire pot should be kept full, and the fuel bed
should be shaken down only until glow
appears in the ash pit. Shaking the fire
until live Goals fall causes a loss of SIS of
every 500, that you pay to get heat. Hall
of this can be saved The ash lit should be
kept clean and the hot Goals should not be
allowed to bank up and burn out the CRATE.
One-tenth of the heat is lost on account
of dirty flues. This can be reduced to only
one-twentieth by proper attention to clean
ing.
If furnace and pipes are covered with as
bestos, loss from useless radiation can be re-
duced from $40 to $3.50 out of every 500
spent for coal.
The idiosyncracies of individual furnaces
are great and their firemen often think they
know them, but they are not sufficient to
warrant some of the fuel wasting methods
which are tried on them.-Science Service
