Home Heating
Hints By John Barclay
hEeHkO Heating Expert
Proper Size Coal for Furnace
Keeps Fuel Costs Down and
Avoids "Ashpit Waste"
HOME-OWNERS can't possibly

HOME-OWNERS can't possibly
- get maximum economy and
efficiency from their heating
plants unless they burn the proper
size coal. While different sizes
can be burned in most furnaces,
don't underestimate the impor-
lance of using the size-or combi-
nation of sizes-best suited to your
heater to produce the most heat
for the least money.
The size of the firepot in your
furnace will, under ordinary cir
cumstances, indicate the most eff
ficient size to use. With frepot-
or interior-24 inches in diameter
and 16 inches deep, egg size is
usually recommended; 18 to %
inches diameter and II to IL
inches deep, stove or chestnut
size; less than 16-inch diameter,
chestnut size.
Local climate, position of fur
mace, size of chimney and house
sometimes make it advisable to
vary these sizes. To be sure of
what size coal you use, l would
suggest you have your dealer call
and advise you which size, or
sizes, will give you the greatest
heat value at the most economical
cost.

Windsor Coming to U. S.

LIS honeymoon being ended, the
- duke of Windsor intends to take
up the really serious things of life,
and before long he will come to the
United States for the purpose of
studying housing and working con-
ditions in this country. This was
announced in Paris by the dukes
secretary, who said Edward and
his duchess would first 60 to Ger
many for similar survey there.
The dukes interest in such mat
tiers is no new development, for as
Prince of Wales and during his brief
reign as king-emperor Edward was
notably concerned with the social
welfare of his subjects. On many
occasions he assailed housing con-
ditions of British workers.
In London it was said the gov
eminent had given reluctant per-
mission for the dukes American
trip in order to avoid an open rup-
ture with him. He resented the
close restrictions placed on his
movements and, it was rumored,
had threatened to return to Eng
land.
American friends of the Windsors
think they may make their tempo
rary home at Wakefield manor, -
near Front Royal, Va, possibly ar
irving there in November. The
manor is the estate of Mrs. George
Barnett, cousin of the duchess.

Rail Strike Averted

THERE will not be a nationwide

later resigned. I never re-
joined"
Thus Hugo L. Black, now Asso-
ciate Justice Black of the Supreme
court, admitted to an immense radio
audience that the charges against
him were true.
Black asserted that since he quit
the Khan he has had nothing what
ever to do with it.
He cited his record in the senate
and in private life to back up his
assertion that he was entirely free
from religious or race prejudices.
While he apparently repudiated the
principles of the Klan, he did not
explain why, on receiving a life
pass card after his election to the
senate, he said to a gathering of
Klansmen:
81 realize that was elected by
men who believe in the principles
that I have sought to advocate and
which are the principles of this or
ganization."
Black emphatically declared his
devotion to the principles of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
and said that he was of ''that group
of liberal senators who have consist
emily fought for the civil, economic
and religious rights of all Ameri-
cans, without regard to race or
creed" Some of his best friends,
he added, were Catholics and Jews,
and members of the colored race.
At the outset of his address Black
undertook to turn the tables on his
accusers by asserting that the
Campaign" to discredit him 'fans
the flames of prejudice and is cal
culated to create racial and re-
lgious prejudice"
when this statement is ended"
he concluded, 'my discussion of the
question is closed"
There was a definite note of de-
fiance in Blacks address, but it is
fair to assume that the American
public was not satisfied with his ex-
PLANTATION. From all parts of the
country came renewed protests
against his presence on the Supreme
court bench, and various large asso-
Citations "resoluted" about it. Many
of the senators who voted to con-
firm his appointment because they
accepted the assertion of his friends
that he was not a Kluxer are re-
sentful at the deception practiced
on them-but what can they do
about it now?
President Roosevelt, up to the
time of writing, had maintained si-
lence. One of his aides explained
that the President decided some
time ago that there was no course
of action open to him in the Black
case.
When Justice Black took his seat,
the chamber of the Supreme court
was crowded to capacity. Albert
Levitt, an attorney, was on hand to
ask permission to file suit seeking
to force Justice Black to show cause
why he should not be declared in
eligible to sit. The court deferred
action on the request. Another mo-
ton to the same effect was filed by
Patrick H. Kelly, Boston lawyer.

reaches of Lake Mead. At the pres
ent time the cave is 730 feet above
the surface of the lake, which is ap-
proximately 1,750 feet above sea
level, and will not be flooded even
when the artificial lake formed by
the impounding of the Colorado riv-
er has reached its ultimate level.
Since the plateau bordering the
Colorado river is more than 5000
feet above sea level. it is deduced
that the river had cut canyon at
least 4,200 feet deep before the cave
was inhabited by the ground sloth.

L best that thele is in life
is an ideal that every youth
should have. There are all
sorts of things in life, some of
them good, some of them bad,
and some neither very good
nor very bad. There are hosts
of young people who miss the
best things, because they have
fixed their attentions on lesser
things. So the finest things in
life they never see. The youth
who has learned to look for the

in himself, will get the most

Bar for Free Courts

CONVINCED that the independ-

still threatened, despite the defeat
of the plan to enlarge the Supreme
court, the American Bar association,
in session in Kansas City, voted
unanimously to authorize a commit
tee to keep up the fight to preserve
the freedom of the courts, as rec
commended by special committee.
That committee said: There ap-
pears to be no likelihood that efforts
to re-make the courts of the United
States will not be renewed. Your
special committee is of the opinion
that the association ought to main
tain itself in readiness to meet such
issues as they may recur, rather
than to rely upon impromptu organ
ization for the purpose.
The lawyers listened to many
speeches, both attacking and de-
tending President Roosevelt's court
program and his appointment of
Hugo Black to the Supreme court.

Japan doesn't like the British

Gently told Japan it would be held

Member nations of the League of
Nations had plan to raise large
fund to fight the cholera and bu-

japanese told the British that this
would be interpreted by Tokyo as
foreign Intervention in the war, so
the British delegates backed down
and persuaded the league council
to content itself with a resolution
recommending to the assembly an
increase in the allotment of money
for health work in China.
The League of Nations adopted a
resolution severely condemning ia
pan for the aerial bombardment of
defenseless Chinese cities, and
Tokyo, indignant, charged the league
of acting without verifying the facts.
To the protest of five great powers,
previously filed, the japanese gov

that the bombing of Marking was
