and chimney to assure efficient
heating during the winter. Prepar-
ing these features of the home
properly will save much expense
and trouble.
First, these authorities say, the
furnace must be just the right
size for the home. If it's too large,
it will waste coal. If too small. it
won't heat the house well enough.
A furnace man can advise
whether the unit is large enough.
or it might be compared with a
neighbours furnace, where heat
ing seems to be efficient.
The furnace should be cleaned
out thoroughly.
After removing the ashes, close
the doors and hampers. Then open
the part marked "Clean Out" and.
with vacuum cleaner or a brush
on the end of long wire, remove
the thin dust, scraping vigorously
every bit of the surface within
reach. The dust will work down
ward into the ash pit.
Then clean the smoke pipe that
leads into the chimney. Take it
down and remove all the SCOT from
it. Fit it back snugly, filling around
the intersection with cement or as
bestoS packing.
The f1repot itself requires a close
examination. Cracks in it will make
a lot of trouble. They should be
repaired with firepot paste or putty.
Broken or warped CRATES also should
be replaced.
The chimney, according to the
United States department of COM
merce, is sometimes responsible for
a lot of waste heat. 1t may be too

COMMISSIONERS
ASK AUTHORITY
Be INCREASED
Congress Urged to Broaden
District Officials Power
in Civil Matters

Needs of the various de-
partments of the District Gov
ernment were called to the
attention of Congress today
when the District Commis-
sioners submitted their annual
report for the fiscal year,
which ended last June 80.
The Commissioners report was
a compilation of the years work
record. expenditures and recon-
mendations which were turned
over during recent months by
the heads of various departments.
Want Powers Extended
Principal among the recon-
mendationS is one to increase the
powers of the Commissioners in
civil matters. Corporation Coun-
sci William w. Bride pointed
out that the municipal govern.
ment is often handicapped in
handling purely local affairs be-
cause of the strictly limited
powers.
Congress also is urged to ap-
prove legislation establishing a
secret service department for the
District government, to operate
independent Of any local govern
ment under the direction of the
Commissioners.
Contempt Power Urged
An increase in the powers of
the Police and Fire Departments
trial boards so as to compel wit
nesses not only to answer sub
poenae but also to testify under
penalty of contempt is urged in
another recommendation.
The District Playground De-
partment recommended: That all
Fairgrounds be at least two
acres; that every public park
have a supervised playground,
that every playground have
small wading pool and that at
least five more swimming pools
be constructed.
