low-size coal more attractive and mar
ketable. The low sizes have just as
many heat units, are just as good. but
they don't fit IN. They can be used
in plants that have special CRATES for
them, but there they meet the competi-
ton of bituminous. What's more-and
this may seem ridiculous but it is true
the American people seem to run to
fashions and the vagaries of fashion
in coal, as they do to garments ana
a lot of other things. One season egg
will be in full demand and chestnut
and stove difficult to sell Another sea-
son stove will show a boom tendency.
Even in steam sizes, buckwheat number
one and buckwheat number three, some
times termed barley, will be in favor,
while rice win lag dreadfully. Pea was
hard to sell all through the year 1921.
The way to make the small sizes
more valuable is to devise CRATES suit
able for their use generally or to use
them in briquettes. Both Of these meth
DDS are practicable, but, unfortunately,
II is almost as difficult to change the
fuel habits of a people as their food
habits.
But the change is coming. And here
is how 1t is coming about
TN Europe they use briquettes to a
4 considerable degree They are com
PEELED to do so Germany uses 100000
or 100000 tons of her coal in that
form annually.
The great trouble with briquettes is
that no one thus far has discovered
a binder that is smokeless The Ameri-
can Is hnicky.. Anthracite is smoke
less. When he gets an anthracite bri.
quette and smoke results he objects
strenuously so strenuously that he boy
colts It. Ordinarily, the binder has been

of the students long struggling with
she problem has devised a binder that
is satisfactory or nearly so. II produces
smoke but n white, not black smoke
He accomplished this, II is said, by
using a heavier oil, but in smaller per
centace than IN other binders.
Almost as important, possibly more I'm
portant, is the invention Of a new style
furnace for the home, Some remark
able claims are made for this furance
They would seem questiohable If not con

In anthracite circles. In this furnace,
it is declared. the small sizes Of coal
can be used with as fun. II not greater,
efficiency than the big furnace burns

The anthracite authorities confess
there's n big work OF education ahead
to get the American people to see the
virtue Of br!quettes and To install the

now Is the time for starting It.
And while they declare there Is de

that there are two of them n secret. They
