FALSE REPORT THAT BOULE-
YARD WILL BE LIGHTED

Rumors current that plan was
foot to equip the whole of the Dbl
Pont Road through Delaware with
electric lamps, thus making Great
White Way all the way through the
State. received no confirmation in
official circles when query was made.
'eports the Dover Index. Such
plan is at least three to five years
head of the times, was one reply.
According to the reports, the plan
to light the splendid Dupont Road
from end to end of the State was at
present under consideration, and
there were hints that portion, at
least, of the cost would be paid by
private parties.
When G. Douglas Buck, State
Highway Engineer, was asked as to
whether such a plan was in contem-
plation, he said nothing along this
line had been taken up in a-ottiee
1T would be a ratheH ambitious
undertaking. he contin1ed, and is
several years ahead of time. The
cost, too, would be very great"
Mr. Buck said that it such plan
were in contemplation, the State
Highway Department would have al
lowed for it in its budget. That
suchsa plan would be an excellent
one. 'he did not deny, but said If it
ever were started it would likely be
in short sections at first, like the
heavily congested strip between
Wilmington and the Pennsylvania
Line.
The idea of having brilliantly
lighted highway running all the way
the State is one that is
generally approved with, however,
much demur on account of the high
cost of such an installation.

q mo communist or socialist can

which will compare with the one we
now have.
Neither socialism nor communism

government, which has power itself
far superior to any plan yet offer

Communism and Socialism can

WINDOWS UP
From State Dept. Of Health.

FROM state DepL. OF Health.
At the beginning OF the winter,
whom the season opens for colds, in
fiuenza. grippe, sore throat, and the
other respiratory diseases, it is
good thing to remember that fresh
air is one of the best weapons we
have for fighting such diseases, and
to apply that knowledge to our
daily habits, is the advice of Or.
R. H. Riley, Chief of the Bureau of
Communicable Diseases of the State
Department of Health.
Some exercise in the open air,
brisk walk every day. or even, ten
minutes spent in doing the daily
dozen exercises before an open win
dow, before dressing in the morning,
will do great deal, he said, to keep
the body fit, and to, strengthen our
resistance to disease, to colds, es-
pecially. But we are likely" he
continued to offset the benefits of the
daily dozen and OF the exercise in the
open air, by shutting the fresh air
out of orr homes, our school rooms,
and the rooms in which we do our
work, as soon as the cold weather
begins We need plenty of fresh
air indoors as well as out door
exercise
'The three things to be considered
II the air in a house or. room is to be
kept fresh and pure-in other
words. if the place is to be well
venti!ated--are, first, there must be
plenty of it from an outside source
second. it must not be too hot-not
lover 20 degrees, and IS degrees is
even better; and third, the AIR
should be kept,in circulation.
The opening and closing of the
outer doorsfof house as the mem
bers of the household go back and
forth, usually, serves to keep the air
fresh and in motion on the lower
floors. For bedrooms, good circuIa-
ton of air is secured by lowering the
windows few inches from the top
and raising them from the bottom
A similar arrangement should be fol-
.dowed whenever possible in school
rooms, and work rooms. Draughts
can be avoided by means of simple
deyice-a board fitted in at the
bottom of the window at an angle of
about 80 degrees II that arrange
ment is not possible. a complete
/ flushing OF the air of the work
room or school room two or three
times day, will not only keep the
air Of the room fresh, but will keep
the human air passages open and
more resistant to disease, and will
prevent much of the headache and
fatigue from which teachers and
indoor workers suffer To prove
this. try it yourself.

BURNING SOFT COAL
Management OF Furnaces Given
Suggestions For Best Results

=
Suggestions For Best Results
The present strike of anthracite
coal miners has caused an increase
in the number of users of soft coal.
All our citizens who are now burn
T ing soft coal in their stoves and
furnaces declare it makes quicker
and better fire than hard coal after
you once get the hang" OF it.
In order to assist those who are
unfamiliar with the use OF soft coal
and will. of necessity, resort to
its use when their present supply of
hard coal is exhausted, we publish
the following:
No change in CRATES is needed to
burn bituminous coal in furnaces
heretofore using anthracite, except
in the case of CRATES adapted to fine
sizes of anthracite where the air
passages are small and not easily
cleaned.
1. Keep heating furnaces clean.
2. Carry a medium fire e to 10
inches.)
8. Do not let the fire burn too
low.
A. For quick heat fire only a
small amount OF coal.
5. Study carefully the proper
use of the three hampers. Usually
it will be found that the pipe or tiue
damper should be partly closed when
the fire is well started; the ash pit
dampef should be open to start up
fire, open little during the day,
but shut at night; the check draft
damper should be shut to start up
fire, open partly during the day and
night as experience shows to be
necessary.
6. When fresh coal is fired, ad-
NIT air over the fire through the
slide in the fire door until smoking
ceases, and then close the slide.
T. Do not open the fire door to
check the fire; learn to use the
/ hampers to control the rate of burn
ing. All air admitted above the fire
in excess of that needed for COM
bustion simply cools the heating
surfaces which furnish the heat for
the house.
/ 8. When firing coal for long
run, or banking, for the night, use
any fine Goals for this purpose that
may have accumulated.
When banking live coal should be
evenly distributed over the entire
! CRATE surface; then apply the fresh
coal, Banking heaviest along the
sides, resulting in bowl shape
/ formation.
8. Shake out the ashes when
necessary, but do not waste coal into
the ash pit. Close the ash pit door
while shaking.
/ 10. Do not let ashes pile UP
under the CRATES. In this way
CRATES burn out" Crates should
last many years.
II. To save the heat made by
burning coal, the following ssugges
tions may appeal to some:
(a). Do not heat unused rooms !;
OBJ let in sunshine; (c) pull dowr
shades at night; (el do not over
heat the house-65 to 70 is sui
ficient for most people; Cd get a
thermometer and watch the sweather.
To avoid the soft coal dust the
fuel should be well wet down before
being put into the cellar, and the
front of the pile kept wet with an oc-
casional bucket or two of water.
/ II. Throw bucket OF water in
ash pit every a. m. after cleaning
out ashes.
