ECONOMY IN COAL
IS AIM OF INDUSTRY
High Price of BituminouS
Throws Heavy Fuel Burn
ers to Cutting Costs.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpeCldl DISpdtCu W hS otdi.
. NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
increase in the price Of DituninouS
coal has turned the attention of in
dustry in all parts of the country
toward more economical use Of that
fuel. Today, experiments are going
forward in scores of plants in an
effort to cut fuel costs. These in
volve pulverization of both high and
low cost fuel, distillation of liquid
fuels from coal. complete gassifica-
ton of COAL elimination OF smoke
and other problems.
Adherents of pulverization of coal
asserted today that this method had
resulted in stretching 10 tons Of
coal to do the work formerly done
by u, which would mean a saving of
100000 tons yearly.
Permits Use of Low Grades.
Palverization of coal, they say,
permits the use Of fuel of so low a
yrade as otherwise to be useless.
The Central Railroad Of Brazil, for
example, operates with a pulverized
,oal of such poor quality that it will
lot burn well unless powdered.
On the other hand, the Portland
ement industry, largest user of
)ulveriZed fuel. uses an extremely
igh grade of coal in order to attain
gh heats, since temperatures ap-
roXimatinS 1000 degrees are neces-
AIRY to convert raw material to
ement. The industry consumes
ome 100000 tons of pulverized coal
annually.
Commercial and Industrial power
plants also have adopted the use of
pulverized coal to large extent.
n 1918 only 100000 tons of pulverized
coal were used for production of
power but this year the amount of
boiler-heating surface fired by pull
verized coal has increased 10 fold.
One of the largest plants using this
kind of fuel is the Cahokia plant, at
East st. Louis. This concern, which
has present capacity of 1875, 900
waits, uses coal which is II per cent
ash and 10 per cent moisture, costing
but So a ton delivered. The reasons
why use of pulverized permits a saw
ing, according to heating engineers,
include smoke elimination, greater
thermal efficiency and f1exibility in
handling.

PINEY RANCH VALLEY MARRIED

Dumping of Dirt Declared to Be Endan-

treatment given the country surround
ing Rock Greek. 1t is one Of
the 20 or 80 Of the old and beautiful
valley roads leading into Rock Creek
Park, which, it is said. have been de-
liberately sacrificed because they in
terfered with the highway plan de-
signed to obtain the maximum Of

operations.
The commission will not meet this
month"; Its next meeting is scheduled
for December 2. a fortnight after the
meeting Of the Public Buildings Com
mission, scheduled for November II.
at which the location of the new Com
merce Department building will be dis
cussed. The fine arts body has gone
on record as favoring a Fifteenth

tively indorsed by the two commis-

Wanton dumping Of dirt and other
material into the valley Of Piney
Branch, resulting in virtual .elimina-
ton of the valley as one of the beauty
spots of the northwest section of
Washington. has gone on for years, in
direct violation Of the edicts of the
District Commissioners. according to
officials Of the National Commission Of
Fine Arts. Loaded dump-carts have
deposited their material down the
slopes of the valley even while a NO
Dumping sign faced them few
yards away, it is charged.
Piney Branch was selected many
years ago as the avenue of q parkway
to form diagonal drive from Rock
Creek Park to the Soldiers Home-a
project which the commission con-
siders "a matter of fundamental i'm
portance. It should have place at
the top Of the list Of projects to be
consummated Immediately"
Possibilities Pointed Out.
Members of the commission have
long regarded Piney Branch Valley as
offering the possibility Of one of the

declaration in It's annual report last
Tuesday that Washington lacked the
spirit to overcome and. If need be. to
override, selfish gains of a man or
high professional attainments who
would act as the co-or'dinating otncer
between the various commissions.

There has been no compelling force

said. declaring that If plans could

WINE FOR AMERICA
READY IN FRANCE
Growers Fail to Understand
Real Meaning of State
Votes on Prohibition.
By the Associated Press.


BORDEAUX, France, November II.
IF it really went wet. we are
tready," is the comment OF French
winegrowers on the elections in the
| United States, in this busy market Tor
! light beverages.
The winegrowers and dealers say
that their stocks are smaller than IN
1914 when there were 400 ,000. 900 gal
Ions in their cellars. but that there
are still something like 1O0,00O,0O0
gallons at the disposal Of Americans.
"All good wine. too the dealers
say. without the headaches.
There Is some difficulty in making
Trenchmen understand that the vote
in vafious parts of the United States
does not necessarily mean that the
bar against the importation Of wines
Is coming down Immediately, and their
idea of the referendum, such as in
New York State also is confused.
However, nothing seems likely to dun
their hopes, which were revived by
the returns from New York.
so they've got to vote again be-
fore it's settled" they remark; well
that's all right. They can vote as
often as they like as long as they
keep on going wet"
France seems to have suffered less
than was expected through the clos
ing of the American market. The
new conditions are due to imitation
of the exchange and the consequent
rise in wages and with 1t increased
home consumption.
Miners and other workers. who be-
fore the war indulged In wine only
on Sundays, now use it as a daily
beverage. The greater part OF the
increase in home consumption. how
ever, is attributed to visiting over
seas drinkers who pay. without finch
ing, zoe 70 ESQ francs a bottle for
champagne worth from 10 10. 20
