PURDUE ENGINEER
GIVES US TIPS ON
SMOKE PROBLEM
Improper Firing of Furnaces
Given Part of Blame for
Trouble,

A hint for Indianapolis IN its effort
to drive away the ever present smoke
screen overhanging the city IS dropped
by Prof. r. w. holland, head of the
heating and ventilating department in
the school Of mechanical engineers,
Purdue University.
Not only needless smoke but useless
waste of fuel results from improper
firing, says holland. His suggestions:
IN the ordinary hot air furnace, let
the fire burn down to a bed of Goals.
Rake the Goals until they are level
with the fire door and slant to the
rear Shovel II fresh coal, filing the
rear deep and tapering down until
only a small strip Of fire Is exposed
next to the door. The coal viii burn
gradually from front to rear for six
to eight hours. Then repeat the per
formance-
in mild weather let ashes collect
under the fire to deaden the draft and
check combustion. Keep furnace clear
of SCOT.
Too much draft is as bad as too
little. Experiment
"A temperature Of 10 degrees is
best. Hang a thermometer in each
room away from register. Avoid guess
work"

POLL SHOWS TAX
ON GASOLINE HAS
MANY OPPONENTS
No Funds Provided for Road
Commission if Bill Should
Fail.

With the appropriation bill we'll on
its way, the State administration has
found the gasoline tax bill a new sub.
ject for worry.
A poll of the two houses shows the
measure can not pass unless many
members change their minds.
The bill provides for a tax of 2
cents on each gallon of gasoline, the
proceeds to go to the highway com
mission. AS result of plans to pass
this bill, no provision was made for
the highway commission in the appro-
priatOin bill.
The poll shows that not sufficient
Republicans to make the bill a law
and no Democrats are for it. 1t is
understood the Senate poll showed
only fourteen Of the thirty-two Repub-
lican members favored the bill. Tween
ty-six votes are required for passage.
The principal objection is fear that
the bill will go into effect without
lowering the property tax now levied
to produce money for the highway
Some observers contend that the
increases in automobile Ii
cense fees should take care of the
commission. Still others fear it would
be impossible to collect the tax.
