An English sparrow, apparently seek
ing shelter from the cold, selected a
chimney at the John McFee home
Tuesday night Once inside the sparrow
evidently travelled the whole tortuous
distance of his chosen haven, as there
are many turns in the smoke chan
mel from the heater through the stove
pipe to the top of the chimney, and
when Mr.. McFee opened the stove
door in the children's room to make
fire Wednesday morning, the bird
flew out of the opening into the room.
He was released from his prison by
opening a window and by this time
he has no doubt acquainted his play
mates with all the details of his strange
experience.

Water Softeners, Inc, local dis

the laundry, the coffee shop and

Saving of $4,000
Seen in Salary Cuts

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. Fifteen
thousand dollars annual saving
was effected by the order of the
county commissioners which re-
duced all county employees sala-
ries by 10 per cent.
The slash in salaries will re-
duce the county tax rate about 3
cents, it was estimated by the
commissioners. The only office
not affected by the cut was that
of the clerk of the court, Frank
Revell, who refused to permit any
slash. He said the salaries in his
office were fixed by law. At the
same time it was learned that
other salaries fixed by law, such
as those of the sheriff and the
States attorney, had also been
cut the 10 per cent ordered by
the commissioners.

There can be no question as TO

CHIMNEY SWEEP
BACK IN D. {.

James ]. High" Hall, old
time chimney sweep and steeple-
jack, returned to washington to-
day on one of his periodical
trips and will stay here through
the winter cleaning out chimneys
which have grown sooty since
his Sojourn a year ago.
They burn considerable soft
coal in Washington, says High" F"
and that's good for his business.
In recent weeks, Hall has toured
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New
York, New Jersey and parts of
New England, up Boston way.
It's his third annual trip to
the Capital, but Hall has been
sweeping chimneys and some
times climbing steeples for more
than 20 years. His home is in
Cincinnati. He AYERS that though
his occupation is rather hazard
Gus, he's never sustained a seri-
Gus injury.
Highs" advice is:
Don't wait until full winter
comes before you attend to
your chimneys. Now's the time
to have 'em swept if you want
a good draft on the real cold
days ahead"
Hall is rather short in stature,
but got the nickname some years
ago when he did quite a bit of
steeple-climbing. While here, he
will live in the 900 block of

Trademarked Blue Coal
Wins D. &. Consumers

The trademarking and identify
ing of coal, long problem to the
producer, distributor and dealer,
has been accomplished by Glen
Alden, largest producers of White
Ash Anthracite in the world.
Their coal is now colored blue,
definitely identifying it to the
consumer. 1t has been mined in
northern Pennsylvania for over
70 years.
Charles H. st. John, vice preSi-
dent of Griffith Consumers Com
pany, local distributors of blue
COAL" says:
"Blue cOaI,' which is the
trademarked name of the COM
pany'S product, is White Ash
Anthracite. 1t is cOlOred blue
by a patented process of color
iZatiOn exclusive with this COM
pany, giving the coal a blue
tint readily recognizable as their
product.
HARMLESS PROCESS

quentIy used in everyday food
products. Not only is the
process of cOlOr-marking exclu-
sive, but it is the only coal that
bears a trademark right on the
coal itself, this trademark be-
ing the blue tint.
"Trademarking has brought
with it higher standards and
more uniform quality. Just as
sterling on silver denotes a
definite standard of quality,
other products are chosen by
trademarked names because it
is known that certain definite
and uniform qualities are al
ways to be had in those
products.

ROTARY BURNER
WINS WITH ARC

"The development Of electric
ignition through its various
steps as applied to the rotary
type of oil burner is one of the
greatest steps forward in the
advancement of the industry"
So declares w. P. Grove, preSi-
dent of the Silent Automatic Cor
poration of Washington, with Of
ficeS and SalesroomS at 1920 New
York Ave. N. w. He added:
From the first the gas pilot
ignition presented disadvan-
tages which could not be over
come from the very nature of
the fuel burned. The pilot con-
Stantly went out, due either to
back drafts or low pressure.
This, of course, defeated the
automatic feature of the do
mestic oil burner, one of its
strongest selling appeals, not
to speak of high operating costs
which often did much to offset
what savings might be effected
in the use of oil as a fuel.
Several types Of electric igni-
ton we're brought out and dis
carded for one reason or an
other, the chief one being IN
reliable results. Within the
past year, the flaming arc has
been introduced to meet with
almost instant success. 1t at
once eliminated all the disad-
vantages of both the gas pilot
and other types of electric igni-
ton, and also made possible GER
tain refinements of control and
operation which in the past
have been impossible"
Grove is one of the pioneers
in the rotary burner field in
Washington, and, as such, is in
an excellent position to judge the
various steps through which this
type of domestic burner has pro-
gressed, according to oil burner
men here.

HOLLYWOOD. Cal, Oct. /.
With the praise for Madison
Square Gardens" still being
sounded out here, Charles R.
Rogers has stepped out and
bought another motion picture
story called Strictly Personal"
Written by the redoubtable
Wilson Miner and Robert Sher-
man, this film is intended as
co-starring vehicle for Alison Skip
worth and Richard Bennett.
You may be surprised to hear
that these two veteran players are
making quite a box-office hit in
Madame Racketeer," modest
little comedy of which nobody eX-
pected very much.
While Mr.. Rogers is not saying
what their new story is like, every
body knows that Wilson Miner
is an authority on racketS, con
games, gamblers and the like.
The deduction is pretty obvious.
At any rate, the picture will
be going into production before
long with Harry Joe Brown at
the megaphone.

lighted with candles, and an 18-

music. Climax of the affair
came when a pair of radio cops
appeared and asked for less
racket. The musicians were out
ragged, but the law was firm.
