The estimated total volume of
construction expenditures in con-
tinental United States last month

3 per cent over September. This

poor draft exists, reduce ashbed to
smaller thickness to permit air to
filter through. One method OF
ascertaining proper ashbed thick
ness is by gently shaking the fire
until a tiny spark appears in the
ashpit. This generally indicates q
thickness of 2 or inches.
Next, rake live Goals from back of
furnace to fire door on an upward
grade, being careful not to disturb
ashbed. Next, fill firebox but be
sure to leave a "hotspot" or small
part Of fire, exposed for igniting
fresh gases.
With soft coal this procedure is
not necessary as it burns into solid
mass. Instead of raking, merely
take your poker and punch a hole in
each side Of fire until it touches
CRATES. A small flame will travel
through these holes acting as pilot
light to ignite fresh gases. Never
bank with ashes, as intense heat
will be forced back to CRATES, caus-
ing them to warp and soon burn out.

There are many householders who
don't know how to bank fires prop
erly. With anthracite especially
many fires are out in the morning
due to banking too closely. I mean
by that, many people overflll the
fireboX, causing fire to smother, and
then Shut smokepipe damper too
tightly, preventing proper amount
of air for combustion.
Whenever the fire is heavily fuel
ed, the temperature of the combus-
tion chamber Immediately starts to
lower and when temperature is re-
duced below the ignition point the
fire naturally goes out. When fresh
coal is put on hot fire, gases are
quickly released and unless the COM
bustion chamber temperature is at
ignition point the gases are wasted
up the chimney. Also, fire gradual
ly goes out.
To bank a hard-coal fire properly,
1t is necessary to have proper thick
ness of ashes on the CRATES, approx
mately 3 inches. In cases where

Cleared I'm

Despite an order which pro-
hibits officers attached to hos
pitals such as Percy Jones Gen.
eral Hospital from recommending
men about to be discharged TO
employers seeking men, disabled
q veterans retain all of their old
freedom in seeking employment.
This was explained at Percy
Jones Hospital today in an in
depreciation of an order given to
hospital authorities Of the Sixth
Service Command last week.
The new order, ii was explained,
merely prohibits the hospitals
from operating separate job re-
ferral systems. II an employer
asks for men, for instance, the
hospital can not select the number
required and send them to him.
II can, however. post the letter
on a bulletin board where II can
be seen by all veterans. They, in
turn. may apply for the jobs in
person or through the United
States Employment Service.
In addition to these two meth
DDS OF getting employment the
veteran may also ask for the
assistance OF selective service in
getting his old job back, ii was
explained.
