SKINNER PLACES RESTRICTIONS ON
 GOAL DELIVERIES
No Deliveries Prior To Nov. 1 Except To Domestic Consumers - Household CTS Asked To Use Pea and Buckwheat Sizes.

Fuel Administrator James D. Skin- ner announced today that restrictions on coal deliveries here will still be enforced. No deliveries of anthra- cite in excess of two tons will be made and no deliveries prior to Nov. l to other than domestic consumers or others requiring coal for cooking purposes. This order also included pea coal. There was no restriction placed on delivery of No. 1 buckwheat coal Every householder ought to order at least one-ffth of his anthra- cite supply in the form of pea and buckwheat sizes, Major Skinner an- nounces.
 In spite of the utmost efforts Of the producers of anthracite it will be difficult, owing to loss or five months production due to the strike. to sup ply all the larger sizes of hard coal as needed during the coming winter.
 Use Smaller Sizes.
 The available quantity of anthra- cite for domestic use can be greatly increased by utilizing the smaller sizes. Pea coal is about two-thirds the size of chestnut, and No. 1 buck wheat is about two-thirds the size of pea coal.
 The fuel administrator also issued a list of instructions for burning soft coal in the home. It follows:
 Soft coal for household use should be screened to uniform HiZe if possi- ble and if not then only lump coal should be used, the dust or slack which is practical to burn in house heating boilers being reserved for in dustrial plants.
 Soft coal requires more frequent attention than hard coal. To burn it successfully the following rules should be observed:
 Garry a deep fire, 10 to 12 in ches thick.
 Keep the fire as uniform and level as possible.
 "When firing coal cover only a part of the fire at one time so that hot coals and flames from the uncovered part can ignite the gas from the fresh coal.
