How TO USE SOFT COAL

Treat anthracite as fuel luxury. and

of the best advice respecting our
present heating problems. Follow
that advice II there be need; expert
ment with it against future need.
Experts tell US that the best grades
of bituminous coal may be burned In
the heating plants wherein New Eng
Ianders have been burning anthra-
cite. One Of them has this to say:
zone side Of the fire-bed should be
covered with coal and allowed to ig-
mite, before the other side is covered
This is so because Of the gases which
are given Oft from the coal and which
must be ignited before they can pass
up the smoke fiue; otherwise a seri-
Gus heat loss will result and also an
excess of smoke"
About half the matter Of soft coal
passes as combustible gas over the
fire bed, but which. If the coal under
meath, be alight will be burned be-
fore escaping up chimney. Look to
the hampers. Remember that an
open bottom draft hastens the fire
but increases the volume Of un-
burned gas. Do not force the drafts
but provide air for sufficient combus-
ton. Put in the large Jumps first and
finer coal about them. q.

WOULD HELP CHINA

China, claiming inability to govern
herself, nevertheless insists shat she
could do this IL the powers would
permit her to raise from a tariff
sufficient revenues for carrying on.
Furthermore she claims to be cap
able Of taking over, and properly
governing all the territory and the
interests now under the dominion Of
the foreigner as concessions.
There has been in much Of the at
titude European peoples have assum-
ed toward the Chinese little more
than professed sympathy and abund-
ant advice that China must first gov
ern herself before she may be grant,
ed any favors. This is like advising
the householder to repair to che
bathroom and wash himself. the ad-
wiser meanwhile refusing to turn on
the water.
1t is gratifying that our Secretary
Of State takes broader and more
helpful view Of the situation, al
though recognizing the existence of
difsiculties such as anti-foreign spirit
among the Chinese and widely pre-
vailing disorders in that country. He
told the American Bar Association
the other day: II do not believe that
these unfortunate conditions should
constitute a reason why the United
States and the other powers should
not scrupulously adhere to the pledg-
es they made to China in the WASH
inEton Conference to meet her in the
spirit OF helpfulness. with the hope
that she may realize her ambitions"
