STORAGE OF SOFT COAL.

Pointing out the danger OF sponta-
neous combustion in soft coal. Jack
son & KreutZ, agents of the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company, yesterday
called attention to the necessity for
unusual care in storing this kind of
fuel.
Because of the fuel shortage Mr..
Jackson said, large quantities of soft
coal are being stored by mercantile
establishments and industries. The
hazard can be reduced by proper Sc
lection of the grades and sizes of soft
coal, and the exercise of proper pre-
cautions in it's handling and storage.
Where large quantities of soft coal
are stored in the open it should be in
separate piles, so that a fire starting
will not spread through the entire
supply, and the affected pile can be
eXtinguished or moved. Where the
coal is stored in Easements the Fuel
Administration suggests the following
precautions:
Il. Coal the size of a walnut or
larger is well adapted for storing.
Mine run, slack or screenings, on ac-
count of fine coal and dust, are not
suited for storage in a basement.
y. Never place coal near a hot
pipe, against a hot furnace or any
other hot surface.
80 Do not mix ashes with the coal,
as there may be live Goals in the
ashes.
a. If coal must be wei down, wet
only the portion that is to be used
Immediately.
SO. 1t is very important that pieces
Of waste, oily rags, sticks, paper and
other rubbish should not be mixed, or
allowed to come in contact with the
coal.
80. Special attention should be paid
to the proper cleaning of fiues and
chimneys regularly"

Slim Longfellow got off something
real clever at Shorty Smiths logroll-

being teased about having sick head

boys by telling them that the reason
some folks never have sick headaches
is because they haven't brains enough
in their Uranium TO get sick. Slim
