ings of dogs and horses. the latter with
their riders.
Subjectively these works make ap-
peal, but for that reason they are
none the less good from the artistic
standpoint. Mrs. Weber is an excellent
etcher; she knows her medium ana
uses it with the utmost skill. She was
one of the artists represented by both
prints and paintings in the Olympic
exhibition at Los Angeles last Summer
Her polo etchings are exceedingly
clever, but so also are her etch1ngs
of horses jumping and running. racing
and hunting. She IS not always, 1t
may be thought, accurate in her drafts
manship, but whatever inaccuracy there
may be in her works is not offensive,
and may even have been purposely en-
ployed for the sake Of emphasis. There
are few, indeed, who get into their
works the amount of motion that Mrs.
Weber does. If she etches q running,
horse, it seems indeed to run. Her polo
ponies are represented as In extreme
action, but never with a sense OF sus-
pended motion. Her etchings are never
snapshots; her subjects are never frozen.
And so with her etchings OF dogs.
They are not mere portraits; they have
life, character, significance. Some are
better than others, but one feels that
all were etched, not to sell, but to
please the etcher herself-and this Is
as it should be. No lover Of horses or
Of dogs should fail to see this admira-
BILE exhibition.

every day are bound to raise the body temper
ature.
Mr.. Milfret also discovered that some pieces
of coal dropped from the firebox into the ash
pit before they had been completely consumed.
He rescued these and sent them through again
In order to extract the ultimate b. t. u. There
after the ashes were sifted carefully each day
and anything larger than hens egg was
salvaged Instead Of cursing his clinkers, Mr..
Milfret hailed them with delight. And this
Winter his furnace fire promises to reach q new
low, for he is experimenting with mixture of
anthracite and asbestos which will practically
burn forever-f at all He will beat the Bod
fish record or freeze in the attempt.
Mr.. Oddleieh on the other hand, points with
melancholy pride to the enormous appetite of
his furnace. A few years ago it consumed only
10 or II tons Of coal . season. Mr.. Oddleigh
was merely an also-ran when the conversation
turned to fuel bills. So he stocked lavishly, and
banked the IRE at night until it almost smoth-
cred: he left the damper permanently ajar snd
ahook the coal through the crate before It 1as
half burned.

PPARENTLY there Is no such thing
~ as an average furnace, just as there
"A is no such thing as average child.
Ask the man who owns one. Busy
budgeteers may estimate our mean
annual fuel consumption per capita
and arrive at . very plausible figure. But that
figure will never serve as a reliable criterion for
the harassed home owner who is laying in his
Winter supply Of coal. Each heating device is
q highly individualized mechanism with as
many idiosyncrasies as an invalid millionaire. 1t
departs abruptly from the normal about the
middle Of October, and does not return until
the following Spring.
I have yet to meet furnace owner who did
not imply that his is either the most econom-
ical or the most expensive furnace ever cen
structed. No doubt this battle of superlatives
began ages ago when one Of our cave-dwelling
ancestors announced that he had to stay up all
night putting kindling on his fire to keep it alive
while his neighbor boasted that he returned
from a two-day dinosaur hunt and found his
fire burning Just as he had left it.
Once q furnace fanatic becomes imbued with
the spirit Of competition, there are no lengths
Mr. Milfret met . man named Bodfish who
asserted that his furnace burned less than six
tons Of coal a year.
Gle neglected to add, however, that he took
his family to Florida for q couple Of months
every Winter)
4 ar. MILFRET thought he had been doing
wi very nicely ON eight tons and half, and
the Bodfish boast stung him to the quick. The
following Winter. by shutting of the down.
stairs bed room and the parlor-nobody uses
parlors nowadays anyhow-he was able to re-
duce his coal bill by almost 20 per cent. Then
Mrs. Mlfret let the maid 60, and hired wom-
andy -the-day; that eliminated another room
from the heating system.
The Milfrets got through the next Winter on
only seven and q quarter tons. It a tight
squeeze, eked out by . visit with Mrs Milfret's
relatives for . fortnight in March, but they
made 1t. Mr.. Milfret found that he could keep
the fire burning BY putting the furnace on a
reducing diet-one level shoyelful Of coal every
two hours. and plenty of exercise-for himself
OF course, the furnace didn't produce much
heat on this regimen but the exercise made up
for it dozen trips up and down the cellar stairs
