Considering the humble shoe and its
rcvivifying polish--do YOU know that
Uncle Sam has just issued a warning,
based on careful and extensive tests,
that oftentimes shoe polishes contain
free acid or alkali which will injure
the leather? So that the old adage
oft quoted to us as boys by our good
grandmothers. "the life of an old shoe
is to black it," is not as true in these
days as 1t was in hers.
Experts in the bureau Of chemistry.
one Of Uncle Sam's biggest testing
laboratories. point out that a polish
of the emulsion type containing free
alkali causes cracking across the
vamp of the shoes where leather is
subjected to frequent bending. Many
of the liquid cleaners, often put UP
in combination with paste polishes
for use on light-colored shoes, con-
tain oxalic acid, which is likely to
injure leather.
Tests Are Suggested.
In these days of high priced shoes
these hints regarding how the leather
may be unsuSpectingly ruined will be
welcomed by those who have not lost
their sense of thrift and economy and
financial proportion during the days
of extravaganza run riot.
In the absence of water-soluble dye
in the polish, Uncle Sam says, free
acid or alkali can be detected by STIR

Turpentlne Not Harmful.
here is general belief that turpen-

feathers. but the federal experts deny
this. They say that their tests did
not show any injuries that could be
ascribed to turpentine. The only un-
favorable condition they noted is that
turpentine sometimes becomes rancid
acquiring a sharp, disagree able odor
and causing the polish to become
gummy and unsatisfactory to use. but
the quality of the leather does not
seem to be affected.
Various other constituents are used
in the manufacture of shoe polishes.
Most of the modern polishes for
leather consist of mixtures of wakes

pentine. Those free from turpentine
are produced by emulsifying the

Manufacture of Peat on Huge Scale
In Bay States War on Coal Shortage

Republican leaders in Massachu-
setts, after conferences here with fed
eral officials. have announced their
intention of fighting the coal short
age-which was expected to be worse
in Massachusetts, than any other part
of the country on account of the in
dustrial and transportation conges-
tion-in a new way. They announce
that they expect to make coal con-
sumers in Massachusetts,, and prob
ably in all New England. independent
of the annual industrial conflicts in
the anthracite coal fields.
They propose to engage in the
manufacture Of peat on large scale,
confident that through the co-opera-
tion of federal agencies they have
found method which will make that
territory independent of the an
thracite supply.
All of these men are wealthy and
their motive is primarily one of rem
dering a public service rather than
to make any more money. Huge ex-
penditures will be necessary for labor
and machinery and a campaign of
education will have to be carried on
before any material return on their
investment can be expected; but plans
have progressed to stage where IL
will be possible to have the manu-
factured product on the market be-
fore the cold weather
Men Who Back Movement.
Frank II. Foss of Fitchburg, chair

mittee; William N. Butler of Boston

committeeman from Massachusetts,;
Lieut. Gov. Alvan T. Fuller, Frank G,

and Frederick Field, treasurer of the

those Interested in the project. A

corporation. of which Foss will be
president, will be formed to carry on
its operations.
There are billions of tons of peat in
Massachusetts,. but no practical BILE
method of cutting il. driving it and
placing 1t on the market in large
quantities has heretofore been discov-
cred. These men, however, are under
stood TO have applied for patents on
machinery by which peat can be cut,
then macerated through a machine.
which operates some thing like q meat
cutter, then by means of another ma
chine pounded into bricks ready to
burn either in boiler or ordinary
hot-air furnace.
The promoters are confident that
peat can be placed on the Massachu-
setts market to retail at SO 4 ton at
first, with probably lower prices If
there Is a substantial demand for it.
Manufacture will begin at Wren
than. Mass.
Canadian Product Fairly Good.
Some years ago the Canadian gov
ernment produced fairly good peat for
$1.50 a ton retail in Ontario and
caused collapse OF the anthracite mar
ket there. The government authori-
ties then decided it was not legally
a proper function TO produce and sell
fuel and called for bids on their plant.
II fell into the hands of men inter-
ested in tho anthracite business and
they closed IL.
Federal Fuel Distributor Wadleigh
said today that peat is produced on a
fairly large scale in this country only
in Florida. 1t also is produced at
scattered points in the west and in
New Jersey.
The men behind the new project
are said to have become interested as
q result of the latest anthracite crisis
and TO have decided to go into it on
the theory that IT, will be possible to
develop Massachusetts fuel industry

worries over the anthracite situation.

formation concerning the allowances
to be made for this factor.
The resistance of stone and brick
to frost action, of steel to corrosion,
of paint to weathering-all these are
of equal Importance with their
strength. Stone is tested by soaking
and freezing it alternately until the
surface begin to crumble. Some kinds
of stone begin to fail after less than
Zoe freeZings, while others show no
signs of failure after having been
frozen more than 1000 times.
, Paints, waterproofing materials
roofing materials, stucco, etc, are
tested by actual exposure in the
! weather for indefinite periods and
, examinations of them are made al
intervals to see how well they are
lasting. Often, in case of unsatis-
factory service, the bureau of stand
ards investigates the cause of failure
and is able to tell the manufacturers
how to improve their product, this
information being freely available To
all concerned.
The resistance of fireproofing ma
terials is tested in gas or oil-fired
furnaces, in which any desired tenn
perature and duration of fire can be
reproduced. Brick and tile walls.
fireproofed steel columns, theater
curtains, etc. have been tested in this
way. Inc duraOlllty or the materla
and construction have been shown
, and the temperature rise of the un-
exposed side measured.
Actual Fires tsed in Work.
In order that the test conditions
may be comparable with those en-
countered in actual fires, measure
ments of the temperatures reached
in various kinds of fires are being
made. For this purpose a brick
wall and concrete building is fur
