mostly comes from the exhaust pipes i of*he big machines at' the power statioo. This exhaust steam would be| wasted if not used for heating."
The expense of the first installation of the small heating plants was mentioned by Marshal Ring, who said: "General ordinance No. 156, of the city of Terre Haute, requires that any furnace, boiler or heating plant be installed in a standard ftre-proof room, with automatic Are doors covering each opening. The present cost of metals and other necessary materials, and of labor, will make this an expensive i proposition, to which can be added the cost of fuel to the purchaser of small quantities and the necessity of keeping up fires all night during cold weather." Chief Evinger added to this, that in the line of his duty he would insist that every furnace room be kept in perfect order.
The recent 10% flre insurance surcharge, added to the costs of flre in surance the first of the year, and to be enforced during the duration of the war, is another serious proposition which is under consideration by the fire chief, who is making a determined light to keep insurance rates in Terre Haute as low as possible, or at least down to what they ought to be.
City Makes Good Showing.
The report of the state fire marshal shows that for a period of nine years I the average flre loss in Evansville, per capita, amounts to $2.60, while during the same period the per capita loss in I Terre Haute was only $1.38. With
Terre Haute showing a loss of only about one-half that of Evansville, the [merchants and manufacturers of this city seem to be letting things slip, while the merchants of Evansville are making a fight for their rights and say (that they will get their surcharge money back. In the Ohio river city the merchants are paying their surrharge with separate checks and under protest, and claim that they will continue the light until the surcharge amounts are refunded.
Chief Evinger does not favor this (plan, in spite of the fact that the 10% surcharge in Terre Haute will amount to about $75,000 annually. He advocates the plan of having the merchants unite and make a stand for the lower insurance rate, to which he feels that they are entitled. The local fire protection furnished by the complete motor fire department and the extensive water system are among the best. Figures show that there are only eleven cities in the country, of the size of
Terre Haute or larger, which have & smaller per capita ftre loss than we have, and most of these are cities like Ijos Angeles, which are largerly summer resorts or winter resorts, which have no manufacturing district, and which are spread out over a large territory, the residences being so far apart that there is little chance of fire spreading from one to the other.
At a meeting, held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, representatives of the fire insurance companies said that the 10% surcharge for the duration of the war was made necessary by the "overhead expenses" of the companies. As usual, it seems to be up to the public to pay this, but ChiW Evinger and Marshal Ring can not quite figure It out.
Entitled to Better Rate*
Mr. Evinger said he believed that Terre Haute was entitled to a lower fire insurance rate than it is now enjoying, and that he believed that this could be obtained if the business and manufacturing interests of the city would unite and demand it, and make a fight for their demands. A big step in this direction would be the continuation of supplying heat to many of the buildings from one large central plant, while the installation of a number of small furnaces in the heart of the business district would have directly the opposite effect.
Everyone wants an economical city ndministration, and Chief Evinger is advocating a pl?n for a union of the business interests of the oity, which will tend to give a more economical business administration for e_ 'h and every merchant and manufacturer in the city. In other wot Is, this seems to be a chance for ever man to unite and secure economy in business affairs and business expenses for himself and his neighbor. If economy is a good thing for the city it ought to be a good thing for your individual business.

Easy Way to Kill Rats and ce
There is no need of suffering from the depredations of rats and mice now that Steam's Electric Paste is readily obtainable at nearly every store. A small box of this effective exterminator costs but a few cents and is usually sufficient to completely rid the house, store or barn of rats and miefc. The U. S. government has bought thousands of packages of Stearns' Electric Paste to exterminate rate and mice. The Paste is also efficient in destroying cockroaches and waierbugs.—Adv.
Eggs Saved
For Nine Months
Now is the time everybody who has chickens or wishes to preserve their egRs for winter months should tise this preparation, and it is the only preparation that is recommended by the agriculture department.
Care should be taken In purchasing the good quality of liquid glass. A good quality can be diluted ab«nt 11 times the quantity of water.
The Owl Drug Co., 307 Ohio St« lias an extra fine quality of liquid glass. The specific gravity is much heavier than the ordinary generally found in drug stores.
One pint of liquid glass will cover seven dozen eggs. Merely place the eggs in a container that can be covered mix the liquid glass in portions of one pint to 11 pints of water and pour over the eggs. Always hare the eggs covered with tTiis solution. If evaporation leaves the eggs exposed, add more water.
It will cost only two cents doten to preserve your eggs, if you buy your liquid glass from the Owl Drusr Co., :',07 Ohio St. Each bottle dispensed by them contftins full directions, so you can't make a rrrstake, as the directions are very simple,—Advertisement.

Claude X* Herbert Camp No. 38, United Spanish War Veterans met at Memorial hall last night to complete arrangements for their annual stag boat ride that will be given Sunday.
Special notices sent to members brought out the largest attendance of the season, many members coming from out of the city.
The ticket committee reported that most of the tickets printed had been placed in the hands of members to dispose of and their reports showed that there had been a larger distribution oC them than at any time in the past.
On account of the low water stage, it is probable that the distance advertised will not be traversed arrangement? have been made to dock near Kramer's landing, and spend a part of the day in athletic games, swimming and other diversions.

ALLIED ATTACK HAMPERS HUMMC
Continued From Page One.
salient and the repulse of a German counter-attack in the region of Vrigny, live miles southwest of Rheims. Nothing is said as to progress against the increased German resistire? north of the Marne, nor is there mention of the situation aorta of Montdidier, where, on Tuesday morning, the French took positions dominating long r&aches o2 the Avre river.
Weather Slows Fight.
F"rom unofficial sources it is reported that the rainy weather of the last few days has slowed up the fighting between Soissons and Rheims and probably also has retarded the German retirement from the bag in which the crown prince's forces were caught by General Mangin's thrust again*t the western side of the salient.
Allied airmen report conditions back of the German lines as indicative of a German retreat as far north as the "Vesle river. The line of the Ourcq has been virtually rendered untenable by the allies' advance near Oulchy-L*-Chateau and Oulchy-Le-Ville, north of the stream.
Just south of Soissons the French and Americans are known to have reached the western bank of the
Crise
river but there have been no reports of a further advance in this vital region. Should the allies succeed in crossing the Crise in force and in gaining the plateau to the eastward of that stream, Germanoccupation of Soissions would probabijN|ie short lived. Such an advance also would make the line of the Vesle of slight advantage to the Germans and would probably compel their eventual retirement to the AJsne river. For this reason the allied efforts to forge eastward of Buzancy may be expected to be redoubled and the German resistance at this point probably will be of the sternest character.
Stubborn as is the resistance of the Germans at vital points especially from the Ourcq along the Marne to the Andre, the French, American and British continue to advance. Heavy artillery flre and hundreds of machine guns form the backbone of the German defense. This has tended to slow up the allies, but has not stopped their progress.
On the Important sector aside the Ourcq the French hare moved forward another kilometre toward the important German base of Fere-En-Tar-denois. The town, with its supplies of food and ammunition is now within six miles of the advancing French line. A great flre has been burning there for manv hours. k-
Allies Qain Steadily.
While the French progress toward Fere from the west, the French and Americans are gaining steadily from the south. Around Barbillon wood and toward the Marne. the allies in heavy fighting on rain-soaked fields, are pressing back the Germans, who have attacked viciously but apparently futile.
Farther east along the Marne the bridge heads on the northern bank are being enlarged by the French and Americans who have advanced two more miles between Mont St. Pere and Charteves. The Germans evidently Aave been driven entirely from the north bank except at several points east of Dormajis.
Southwest of Rheims in the heavily wooded country along the Ardre the British and French pressure continues. An average advance of about twothirds of a mile has been made on a limited front. The drive here is corollary to the French pressure astride the Ourcq. The British have taken 300 prisoners, making their total for three days 1,100.
American and British aviators are aiding the French airmen in their raids and bombing expeditions in the zone behind the German lines. Thirtyseven machines were accounted for Monday, while Berlin claims that 53 allied airplanes were brought down.
Enemy Loses 180,000.
Since the fighting began July 15, the Germans are reported to have used between 60 and 70 divisions. Estimates from French headquarters- place the German losses in that perwd at 110,000 killed, wounded and prisoners.
In Picardy, the Germans have failed to react against the French stroke northwest of Montdidier, in which three towns and heights dominating the Avre were taken from the enemy. Paris reports that prisoners taken total 1,500. The French losses are said to have been slight.
