Formula Shows
| Oil Saved by
| Storm Windows

1he Office of War Information has
prepared a formula whereby resi-
dents OF the Washington area whose
homes are heated by oil may cal
culate how much oil will be saved
IN an average winter by addition
OF storm windows.
The formula was developed by
heating engineers and approved bv
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton. The calculation is based on
three figures: The number of square
feet OF window space, the degree
day for the city and the figure,
1888, q divisor which engineers
have found give the correct number
OF gallons.
The degree-day in Washington is
1882. Measure windows to obtain
number OF square feet. Then, null
tlply the square feet of window space
by the figure for the degree-day.
Divide the product by 1888. The
answer will be the number of gall
Ions Of fuel oil storm windows will
save III an average season
Assuming a WashingtonianSfi
he has 500 square feet of window
space. Multiplying the degree day
by 500 he gets 2,291,000. Dividing
that by 1888 he gets 2749-a saw
ing of that many gallons season.
The degree-day figure is arrived
at by first substracting the mean
temperature of each day from Sep
tember l to May 81 from IS, the
average home heat desired, and then
totaling the differences. These diff
ferences add up to 1882 for Wash
ington.

Opening of the new Ninth Street
Bridge over the railroad terminal
yards along New York avenue NE,
to provide a quick route between the
northeast section and downtown
Washington, was announced for
next Wednesday by Engineer Com
missioner Charles w. Kutz yes
terday.
At the stme time. newly paved
approach highways on either side Of
the bridge, extending from Sixth
and K streets NE. to Rhode Island
avenue and Brentwood road NE.
will be opened for traffic. Only that
part of the route between Sixth and
K streets and New York avenue is
now open.
= The new bridge was constructed
Jointly by the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroads,
with approval of the Commissioners.
New Developments.
The new roadway on Sixth street
between K street and Florida avenue
has been widened to A feet. The
street from Florida avenue to Penn
street, along Sixth street, is new
development, also a. feet wide. with
a service roadway to accommodate the
market area in that vicinity.
Brentwood Parkway, from Penn
street to the bridge, has minimum
width of A feet, and plaza has
been constructed at the southern
end of the bridge which, it is con-
templated eventually will provide

a connection to the heavily trav-
eled Bladensburg road via Mount
Olivet road.
From the northern end of the
bridge, the new thoroughfare, along
Ninth street and Brentwood road,
has been developed to a minimum
width Of a. feet, with a connection
into Rhode Island avenue at Thir-
teenth street. This route has been
completed except for landscaping
and some sidewalk work.
Work on Connection.
Workmen are still busy on a
project to connect the new thor
oughfare to Brentwood road from
Rhode Island avenue via Saratoga
avenue. A new traffic layout at
the intersection of Rhode Island
avenue and Twelfth street is in
volyed in this development.
=. Ihe new route is accessible from
the south at K street and Florida
avenue NE. East-bound traffic can
cross the bridge by way of Fourth
and Penn streets into Brentwood
parkway, since no left-hand turns
VIII be permitted onto the bridge
from New York avenue. It is
planned eventually that additional.
ramps will be built to provide more
direct access to the bridge.
The new route will provide mo-
torlsts with much speedier way
between the downtown area and
the Northeast side than present

avenue to Rhode Island avenue

at transfer points on the inbound
trip and to pick up on the northerly
trip.
1t was also proposed that J-3
buses operate between the intersec-
t1on Of Kansas avenue and Fifth
street, south on Fifth street to
Grant Circle, and south over the
present route.
The following changes are pro-
posed for the PetWorth lines:
Elimination of the present large
loop north of Sherman Circle and
substitution of a smaller loop be-
ginning at Kansas avenue and Fifth
street, north on Fifth street to Gal
latin street, east on Gallatin street
70 Kansas avenue, and south on
Kansas avenue.
New Petworth Route.
Elimination of the P-2 line, which
Is operated via Sixteenth and Har-
ward streets, south on Sixteenth
street to K street and east on K
street to its regular route south
ward. The new route of the Pet
worth line would start at the small
loop on the north, south on Kansas
avenue, Sherman Circle, Seventh
street, New Hampshire avenue
sherman avenue, Florida avenue,
vermont avenue, Eleventh street,
to the terminal on Eleventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue; back on
twelfth street to Logan Circle.
along Vermont avenue and contin-
ulng north along the southbound
route.
Inc express run on this new route
would begin at Varnum and Seventh
streets and run to Eleventh street
and Massachusetts, avenue. Express
service would also be maintained on
Sundays as well as on weekdays.
The proposal also contemplates
the abolition of the K-2 bus on the
Chlllum line. This bus, at present
also runs part of the way along
Sixteenth street.
Service on the K-4 express bus. it
was recommended, should be ex-
tended to full weekday and Sunday
operations and the northern express
limit should be extended from New
hampshire and Sherman avenues to
Grant Circle. The route of the
express buses would remain the
same as at present.
Notices detailing the proposed
changes have been sent out by the
PUG to all interested civic groups.

|0PA 10 Determine
Fuel Rations by Oil
In Consumers Tanks
October ! Is Dote Set
For Inventory Listines;
Four Steps Suggested

The fuel in consumers tanks on
October l and any purchase made
after that date will be taken into
consideration in determining ra-
tions under the new fuel oil ration
Ing plan. Paul M. OLeary, deputy
OPA administrator in charge of ra-
tioning, said yesterday.
OPA previously had planned to
have the inventory statement made
as of the day of application for the
ration book, but found it preferable
for statement of inventory on
October l.
Mr.. OLeary asked homeowners to
do four things within the next few
days in preparation for rationing,
although registration day probably
will be set for October IS.
Four Steps Suggested.
The four steps are:
/. Have your fuel tank filled I'D
to 275 gallons, or to capacity, before
October l.
2. Check your inventory on Oc-
tober and make note of it.
5. Obtain from your dealer the
amount of fuel purchased from him
for the home last year.
4. Determine the square foot area
OF the house by measuring each
room to be heated.
Urges Tanks Be Filled.
Mr.. OLeary said every effort
should be made to have tanks filed
to capacity as early as possible to
enable dealers to take advantage of
the additional storage space.
When home owners apply for
ratlons, coupons for an amount up
to $50 gallons will be torn from
ration sheets issued to them. The
25O-gallon figure was deliberately set
below the actual 275-gallon capacity
OF the average tank to allow for
Initial shrinkage or other loss.
While OPA urged consumers to
fill tanks before October l, those who
do not comply will not be penalized
II they show dealers were unable to
supply them, or that they were
financially unable to make the pur-
chase.
After October / consumers will be
able to buy fuel only through a
written promise to turn over to
dealers later coupons covering the
purchase.
Midwest Warned.
Meanwhile, Deputy Petroleum Co.
ordinator Ralph K. Davies warned
residents of the Midwest that unless
they convert to coal without delay
the supplies in that area will not
be adequate"
Mr.. Davies called attention to the
critical shortage of oil in the East
and pointed to the need "of sharing
supplies and transportation facil-
lties' between the two areas.
AS war burden" he said. "the
shortage should be spread as widely
as possible and supplies eoualized
as far as practical"

1t is to store the idle desks In a

IF the idle desk is allowed to

But if the desk is sent to the
