IT. CONSERVATION

Householders in the fuel oil ra- toned area who cannot convert their heating equipment from oil to coal have a solemn obligation to save fuel in every possible way. But the owners of oil burners are not the only ones who should save or fuel. Americans everywhere must conserve on whatever fuel they uSe-oil, wood, coal, coke, gas, or electricity. There is no form of energy so plentiful under wartime conditions that we can go on con- suming 1t in the careless way we did In peacetime.
 Patriotism should be cause enough to save. In the event, however, that it is not, personal gain is strong motive. By saving 25.000 900 tons of coal, 19,166,00O barrels of oil and 2l ,274, 500 thousand cubic feet of gas American home owners will profit by a total of $256, ,30OO00 in the i042-43 heating season.
 There are two ways to save fuel: CD Generate heat in the boiler or furnace in the most efficient way possible. CD After the heat. is gen. erated, keep it in the house . Don't let 1t escape outdoors.
 Oil Burners (Adjustments)
 It has been estimated that IT out of 20 oil burners in American homes are ebout to start their third to twentieth Cor more) year of service. Government data indicate that when "aVerage" heating plants are adjusted to Department of Con- merce, Bureau of Standards effi-- ciency ratings, saving up to 25 per sent or 30 per cent can be effected.
 Frequently, proper adjustment and repairs will produce up to 40 per cent increases in efficiency. Among the. adjustments and minor changes which can be made to re- duoc fuel consumption are the re- placement of nozzles, change in type of radiator valves. cleaning boilers and fiues, installation of new steam

ELLA FITZGERALD AT ARENA SUNDAY
Teddy Powell and Orches. tra and Four Keys on
 Same Program

Those who have recently heard Teddy Powell and his Surprise Band of the Year." scheduled to ap- pear at the New Haven Arena on this Sunday afternoon and evening along with Ella Fitzgerald and the Four Keys, are universally convinc- ed that here at last is a musical combination that is different - and an organization that is well come.
 Teddy Powell's new band has a sensational style that meets what has been growing need in musi- cal America for something to bridge the gap between the extremes of sweet and swing - yet is definitely not "corny". The band plays sweet and swing in a manner which is different and something to cheer about.
 The boys in Teddy's new band, all of whom are great musicians in every sense of the word great, know their instruments and, under Powell's delft guidance, play their dance and vocal numbers in man. per which is snazzy, making a strong bid for inclusion in the top brack- cts of their closed corporation" music world.
 Ella Fitzgerald has been a sensa- tion in recent weeks. The Four Keys and Ella have played the out standing spots throughout the east. and her return to the New Haven Arena will be welcomed. There will be terrific stage show on in front of the Harry Berman band on an- other great Show of the Week..

boxes, new baffles, new combustion chambers, new draft regulators, and a general tuning" of the entire unit.
 Warm-A Air Furnaces A vacuum cleaning every year or two by a competent service man will keep the furnace clean, with one important exception. The dome should be cleaned by rubbing it with steel wool. A layer of dirt on the dome virtually stops the effec- tiveness of that part of the furnace radiator through which most of the heat is transferred. If the furnace has a blower and air filter, it is important to keep the filter clean.
 Certain places on the furnace are for the purpose of supplying air. No air should enter the furnace at other points. Consequently, all joints should be air-tight.
 Boilers
 An ''overcoat" on the boiler will prevent a steam or hotwater system from heating the basement un- necessarily. Shredded asbestos and water mixed to astiff paste, applied about 2 inches in thickness and covered with sheets of muslin will do the trick. Outgoing heating pipes should be "jacketed'' as well.
 Stale" water is better than fresh water in steam or hot water sys- tenn. Fresh water contains oxygen, the chief cause of rust inside the boiler, piping and radiators. After ] the oxygen IS driven of, corroSion stops until fresh water is added. Therefore, it is well to drain of only the sludge in the lower part of the system, and add as little water as possible. Gage glasses, water level controls, and relief valves should be in good working order.
 Dirt, soot, and scale, more than anything else impair the efficiency of a boiler. Householders should call in heating contractor to do a thorough cleaning job.
 Coal StOkerS
 Home owners using coal stokerS are responsible for seeing that they are in efficient working order. Stoker owners should keep the heat ing plant clean, properly adjusted, and in good repair.
 Gas Burners (AdjustmentS)
 Owners of gas burners should be instructed to contact their gas sup plier, and ask him to provide service man to inspect the burner and see that 1t is operating at max mum efficiency. The householder should ask the serviceman to use scientific combustion testing instru- ments on this check-up.
 If you use your thermostat to control the temperature in your house, by all means turn it down when you leave the house during the day if you expect to be away for an extended length of time. Also, be sure your thermostat is set for 8 lower temperature at night.
 The heating of domestic service water, though not 8 large item in the fuel budget, nevertheless, is usually done at waste of fuel. The most common fault is main taining the temperature of water too high. Water of 14O degrees F. is hot enough for normal purposes.

Wd|green Sales
Continue Rise

CHICAGO. July 9. - Sales re-
ports of Walgreen Company con-
tinue 10 show substantial increases
in turnover in comparison with
last year.
Dollar sales for June were 1S
per cent higher than that month
last year, and June percentage
gain was the highest year-to-year
increase for any month since last
September. While part of the
gain is accounted for by higher
merchandise prices. il also mirrors
larger physical volume.
Walgreen does about 30 per cent
of its total annual dollar volume
in its lunch counter and soda
fountain department and an adj
ditional IS per cent on tobacco.
Only about 10 per cent of, sales
are on variety products and APP
pliances. Hence. If consumer buy
ing holds to anticipated levels. the
firm feels il should be able TO alb
sorb, in substitute lines, most of
the business lost because OF search
ties of priority-ridden goods.

$4,000 communities were being
served by trucks, there are $4,000

The report, compiled as the

tendency of the war plants on
truck transportation. The TAI
war factories in Michigan utilize
truck transportation for 65 per
cent of the incoming freight and
90 per cent of the outgoing.

Oil Output
Down Sharply

NEW YORK, July 9.-Largely in
reflection of well close-downs in
Texas last week. production OF
crude oil throughout the country
showed sharp curtailment to levels
below estimated needs in July. 1t
was only a temporary situation
however.
Meanwhile. draft on gasoline
supplies in that week was about
seasonal. and further inroads were
made on stocks of residual OF
heavy fuel oil used by industry
railroads and shipping. Gas oil anc
distillate supplies were increased
moderately.
Crude output was cut 2,3OO
barrels daily in the week ended
July A, of which Texas, alone, ac-
counted for 401, 500 barrels. Coun-
trywide production average
1927, $50 barrels against estimated
needs in July of 3,842 300 barrels
as calculated by the bureau OF
mines. Kansas and California also
reported reduced output last week
while Oklahoma and Illinois had
small increases.
Withdrawals from gasoline
stocks amounted to 1882 900 bar
rels in July week. This with
production in that period indicated
a demand of better than 1,750,00t
barrels daily average. and also
reflected takings by east coast
