Other Users of Powdered Coal
A survey of technical magazines
shows that a number OF power plants
have been equipped with apparatus
for the burning of powdered ccal
recently. Among them are the Mil
Waukee Electric Railway and Light
Company, at their Lakeside plant;
the Western Avenue station OF the
Puget Sound Power Light Co.;
the Rochester Gas and Electric Cor
poration; the Chicago plant Of the
Illinois Malleable Iron Company and
the River Rouge station of the Ford
Motor Company. In other countries
the railroads have given consider
able attention to the use Of pulver-
lied fuel, notably in South America.
where a number of locomotives op-
Grating on the Central Railroad OF
Brazil burn powdered fuel that is
ground from coal containing about
80 per cent ash and per cent sui
phur.
Experiments with pulverized coal
have shown that the advantages of
its use are greater efficiency, less
smoke and lower costs of handling.
The cost of grinding and the danger
of explosion il the material is care
lessly handled are the main draw
backs. However, the experience of
the cement industry in using mill
lions of tons of coal dust every year
has proved that accidents can be
prevented if proper care is exer-
cised. Many of the plants have
never had an accident due to coal
dust explosions.
1t is interesting to note that ex-
tended developments with the use
of pulverized coal would probably
work out to the advantage of the
domestic consumer of coal. Wide
spread demand for fine coal would
leave greater supply of lump ma
terial for the home user, and it IS
probable that this source of demand
will be for lump sizes for years TO
come.
Although America has long been
recognized as a country where thrift
in fuel consumption is not widely
practiced. people are beginning to
take the fuel problems more serious
ly. The use OF tank cars for trans
porting pulverized coal is quite with
in the realm of possibility. Engi-
neering skill is constantly working
out better and more efficient meth
DDS OF fuel consumption. The trend
of public utility plants to equip for
burning powdered coal might have
a very decided effect on coal mining
practice. Already mines in the
State of Washington are preparing
pulverized coal. Twenty years from
now, coal dust may be a very i'm
portant industrial material.

HAY FEVER TINE

To the many people who suffer
from that distressing condition called
Hay Fever, the rag weed time, the
golden rod season is anything but a
pleasant anticipation. No absolute
remedy, one hundred per cent has
been found. Vaccination with pre-
determined extract of the pollen is of
great assistance. To be Of service,
however, the vaccine should be given
In the spring or early summer; it
would be Of little use now. II the
particular pollen that produces the
trouble in an individual is known, the
best way to avert the aggravation of
the attack Is to go to some locality
where the weed does not grow. With
the diversity that we have in our
State 1t is quite possible that there
are places where a certain weed
say rag weed-does not grow, at least
so plentifully as 1t grows in others.
II one could only spend few weeks
IN an environment like that it would
be a great help. One can cut the
weeds often around his home and es-
cape some Of the trouble in that way.
OF course, sea voyage would give
complete immunity
1t seems that no survey has been
made in our state to determine where
certain exciting weeds do grow. We
feel sure, however, that somewhere
between the top of Mona and the
Okefenokee Swamp some place might
be found that would afford some re-
lief.
1t would be of interest if the read
ers of this article would report to the
State Board of Health if in their
locality the ragweed does not grow,
likewise golden rod, yellow dock,
sheep sorrel. cookie burr and peren-
NAL rye grass.
