Cool Bins Outdoors
Latest Heating Plan

Buried coal bins are the newest
development in the use of coal as
an automatic fuel.
THE introduction of the coal
flow-type stoker, which conveys
coal mechanically from bin to fire,
permits the placing of the coal bin
outside the basement" it is re
ported. THE worm conveyor of
the stoker can be extended any
reasonable distance.
Some residents choose to build
coal bins under a driveway, and
providing for coal delivery through
a manhole. Others prefer to have
the bin built beneath the garage.
Placing the bin outdoors facili-
tates delivery of fuel, and leaves

War Curbs British
High Holy Days

LONDON (JTA)-Old men, mo-
theirs of little children and children
should "for obvious reasons" not
attend public religious services
during the forthcoming High Hol-
idays but should say their prayers
at home, is the advice given by
Chief Rabbi j. H. Hertz in a cir
cular sent to the ministers and
honorary officers of Jewish con-
gregations throughout the United
Kingdom.
There will be no sounding of the
shofar at Neilah, the circular
points out, because prayers must
conclude before blackout, while
the fast does not end until 5:54
pm. in London. On the other hand,
soundings of the shofar during
New Year service should on no
account be curtailed, the circular
states.
