KEEP R3E BOX FILLED Ü? In Process cf. Combustion Two Quantitics Must Be Supplied, Coal and Air; the First One Pays For, the Other Is Free Matter of Keeping a Fire Overnight Is Merely Ques tion cf Supplying the Right Amount of Air. Advice to operators of house heating lurnuces, who under the keen urge n chili blasts of winter have applied to the bureau of mines for a solution of dillietilties experienced in caring i'' (ires over night, is Rhen in a statofent by O. I'. Hood, chief mechanical ngineer of the hureall. There nie several ways of manag ing a furnace as there are sevral ivays of driving a horse, says Mr. Hood. Tlie general principle is quite obvious, hut that principle can he applied in different ways. In the prcc: of combustion two quantities must be supplied coal and air. The coal one pays for. the air one Rets for nothit g. hut the quantity of air required in weight is from 11! to HO times as tauch as the quantity of coal required. If one had to pay for air he would pay n great deal more attention to the supply of this necessary material, Mr. Hood hays. Keeping a Fire Over Night. Given a bed of coals that are red hot, the tire will burn just in proportion as air Is fed through the fuel bed. The matter of keeping a tire over night, Mr. Hood asserts, is made easy by having a bed of fuel la rue enough so that at least the center of it can keep red hot without 1" chilled by the cold sides of the fit.mice or the cold ashpit below. I absolutely no air was fed through the fuel bed the fire would in time go out . ! clause of loss of heat. The problem, 'lien, is to feed just air enough through the fuel bed to maintain temnerature. The ashpit of most furnace leaks enough air so that if there is a considerable draft or suction above the fuel bed produced by the chimney more air will leak into the ashpit and ip through the fuel bed than is needed to simply maintain the temperature, Mr. Hood explains. Too much air feed through the fire would burn tip the coal ami the tire would not eep. The problem then Is to cut down e flow of air through the fuel bed. his can be done in numerous ways; ne can put on a large amount of coal mil cover the top with very fine coal, or even with ashes. This increases the resistance through the fuel I c.1, so that only a small amount of air flows. Another way, and a good way, too, according to Mr. Hood, is to allowashes to accumulate on the grate to add to the resistance of the How of nlr. Keep Fire Box Filled. Witile this is a good way in mild weather, it is not so good in severe weather, because one cannot gvt as much coal into the tire box and it is usually best to keep the fire box completely tilled with fuel. F.ven when the resistance through the fuel bed Is increased, if the draft Is maintained there Is apt to be too much leakage through the ashpit and too vigorous a tire. ly opening the check traft so that air can Mow up the chimney without flowing through the fuel bed. the air passing through the fuel led is greatly reduced. It makes little difference whether this is done by opening the check draft in the chimney or by owning the tlauqer in the door. allotting the air to How above the fuel bed. In the latter case, however, the air Is drawn through the boiler and helps to coot off the boiler in addition to checking the How of air through the fuel bed.

FABRICS 5 l vi r J Double Effect in Dresses Is Emphasized by Paris Makers. Results Arc Widely Different Frcm the Slender Draperies; Embroideries Are Absent. A feature now much in evidence In dress Is the development of models In two fabrics, writes a fashion correspondent In the New York Tribune. Callot Is one of the foremost makers to emphazise the new double effect seen in so many dresses which appear to be made of one material over another. These clothes are particularly Interesting because they are so different from the usual ('allot styles. Here effects are achieved widely different from the slender draperies so typical of this house. Kven the wonderful Callot embroideries are absent, but, as of yore, this famous coli titriere depends on the fabric for iter results, and upon wonderful color combinations for rich effects. To show that suits are no exception to, the mode of uniting two colors in one model a typical tailored suit Is of black cloth with bands of black lamb's wool bordering the jacket and forming cuffs and a collar. A L Black Cloth Suit; Green Cire Braid. bright touch of color is given through the use of broad hands of bright green cite braid. With this is worn a Ileboux fabric hat with upturned brim and strans of the material passing through a Jade ring to make a witig-Iike ornament. The hat is especially appropriate to wear with thi suit, as the jade combines plcasingh with the green trimming on 1 jacket. FABRICS FOR THE LINGERIES Radium Silk Ranks Well With Crepe de Chine Chiffon and Georgette Are Popular. Jladium silk is vying with crepe de chine for the place of greatest popularity in the making of lingeries. It lias much to recommend it in the way of its wearing ability. Then it has that crisp softness of surface which is so i''!lcnt a foundation of the sort about which we have just been talking. And it has a quality of making handwork, even the smallest portion of it. look so much more than it really Is. Hand stitching upon the surface of radium Mauds out most effect heJy. and any one who has ever done any of it has the cxttvmc satisfaction of seeirjtf her efforts show forth in a strong limelight. Chiffon and giorgette crepe have by no na ans been slighted in the designing and making- of lingerie this season. They have not that quality of making a linn foundation, but for other srt of frorks and for certain tpes of wear they have nothing to equal them. Then ih-re N just this about the chiffon uudergarmeets they slip into the easily wa-1l class remarkably well. The in im"." necessary to put them into shape aftewashing Is a!niot eil.

LILIES OF JAPANESE ORIGIN

Easter Flower, It May Be Almost Pos itively Stated, Is a Product of the Far East. Forty-four years ago a Philadelphia woman who had been making a visit to Bermuda the island being litt! known to the average American in those days brought back with her two plants of a wonderful and unfamiliar kind of lily. She gave them to a Quaker City florist named Harris, who ht no time in multiplying the bulbs nnd growing the plants in large numbers, selling them in pots. Tims was introduced Into this country what we know today as the Kaster Illy a llower which had been previously cultivated for many yfars In P.ermuda. It was not originally native to Bermuda, however. Nobody seems to know who tirst planted it there. But there is no doubt of the fact that It came from the Far East. Presumably some far-voyaging mariner, whose home was in Bermuda, brought it back with him. t)ur American Master lily of today if so we may term it Is almost undoubtedly of Japanese origin. Its selection from other varieties, by preference, may be referred t certain notn hie advantages early blooming, sixe and number of blossoms, and ease of "forcing" in hothouses. In Bgypt, anciently (and presumably in the Levant), calla tubers were one of the most important food crops. They were irrown over extensive areas in each annual season of the Nile's overflow. At the time of their hlos-som-ing the fields of them must have presented to the eye a beautiful picture. Bealiing which fact, we may reason ably suppose that the calla. was, in Christ's mind when He spoke of the lilies of the Held.' PERIOD OF UNIVERSAL JOY !

Truth AboutMexico

Pili - 3

Mexican Uandits Aftrr Opponents. These fellows would be on their farrrs worhmpr, if the great tracts of Northern Mexico were divided.

WE agree with the Chicago Journal that "Every Thir.kiivg American" should get a clear imderfetanding of the Mexican "probl -ai." and in a recent issue that paper presented the opportunity. Following is the editorial in full: "NOW that Jenkins is free. r.nd the meddling senators have found their interference as needless as it was impertinent, and Senator Fall's mrch-adver-tised revelations have proved to be some doubtful excerpts from questionable Standing of the main causes of disorders in Mexico, and of the possible courses of our government in dealing with those disorders. First in the list of troub'e ca'jsiv the divided character of the Mexican population. That so-called republic eontains perhaps a million persons cf pure Snnnish descent, nnd another million m:iiny Spanish. These 2.00ü,OfO people 0f white, or predominantly white race ruie over nearly 15,000,000 Indians, belonging to some sixty different native stocks, unable to work together for lack of a common language and because of their physical SCparatio, but one in common hatred of their white tvrants. T0 a(bj to the confusion, there are close to a million negroes and part negroes in the coast district. Next in order of revolution breeders is the bitter injustice which has prevailed in Mexico for centuries. The Spaniard came as a conqueror and remains as a master, claiming all power, all lands, all wealth. The Indian survived, but he survived as a slave or a peon. In the districts where his subjugation was incomplete before, it was carried to a finish by the scientific grafters of the Diaz regime, who seized the lands of the Yaquis, the Mayas, and heaven knows low many other tribes besides, and destrcyed or exiled or reduced to peonage the native occupants. In a word, Mexico at the downfall of Draz was much like Russia before the liberation of the serfs, with race complications added. A third source of trouble is the character and bias of the present Mexican governmentitself the result of a complex of many causes. German propaganda left permanent effects, Carranza personally is as irritating as a badly adjusted mustard plaster, and every Mexican leader seems to think it a noint of honor to shake Iiis fist toward the north three times before breakfast. This brings us naturally to the last main source of discoid, cur own overreachings and shortenings. The good work done in Mexico by American capital, engineers and skilled artisans is enormous; but it is all discounted and rendered sinister in Mexican eyes by the evil intrigues of American concession hunters. An American ambassador "brought Diaz and Huerta together" and thereby hastened the fall of Madcre. American money seems to have financed more than one upheaval near the border, and American jingoes, some of them in the United States senate, are constantly calling for our government to "clean up Mexico." In the presence of such deep and powerful forces of unrest in our southern neighbor, the government of this country has but two possible courses of action. It can work along frcm day to uay, treating eacn crisis as seems test at the moment, with the fixed purpose of avoiding intervention and giving Mexico a chance to settle her own ills. Or, it can call on the American people to furt- L-lf MI f r nan a muuon soldiers tor three1 to conquer and police Mexico. soldiers can be furnished and the can be paid if necessary. But there no doubt that the American peomany years ago, some of them returned to the U. S. A. during the revolution, others remained, cared for their farms, conducted Lusiness and we understand that the large Academy at'Colonia Juarez has always o

ltd several hundred students. The Mormons" have treated the Mexicans right, have not tried to steal their lands or ir.abe serfs of them, but on the contrary have assisted them in developing their own holdings. Who, then, more thnn the "Mormon' apostle who had charge of all the colonization work in Mexico, A. V. Ivins, can speak with wisdom and authority on the subject. The following is from the Salt Lako City "Deseret Evening News also of recent date: A strong plea against precipitation of war between the United States and Mexico over present difficulties and the v ii.ancc, if possible, of armed intermiont was made by Anthony W. Ivin: in an address before the Commercial club recently. The speaker laid stress on the necessity for caution in the handling of the Mexican situation, pointing out the reasons why the invasion of Mexico by United States troops would be costly, both in blood and money. He pointed out that such an invasion would result in the utmost hatred and bitterness among the natives of that country, even though they were conquered. He stated that such a war could be won by this country, but that the results would not justify the cost, especially if war were declared before the exhaustion of every means of settling difficulties by some amicable courfe. In his address, Mr. IvinJ sketched the past history of Mexico from the time of its first settlement by Spaniards, bringing a terrible record of tyranny over the common masses, down to the present day. He concluded his address by declaring that if intervention must come it would be better to do it as Pershing did his work in that country. He stated that General Pershing won the natives in the country that he invaded by treating them as human beings, tins being the first time in the history of the country that the common people had been humanely, dealt with. "Sit Down and Reason Mr. Ivins concluded his address witli a plea to the public spirited men of Utah to do everything in their power to prevent war with Mexico and to urge a peaceful settlement of the difficulties. He mentioned the conference of newspaper men held recently in Mexico City when it was urged that the two nations take council together and try to effect a settlement of difficulties. "Let us sit down and reason together. The situation is serious, but not so serious, that we cannot talk it over,1 declared the speaker. The speaker said Mexico is a country of great resources that are awaiting American capital to develop them, He stated, however, that the common people of Mexico must be freed from the tryanny under which they have lived for more than 300 years before the country can be developed extensively. He declared that certain influences are still holding the common masses in bondage just as much today as they were durinc the slave days of the past. The plight of the Mexican peon, of which the masses are largely formed, was shown to be pitiable even today and that the revolutionary period since 1911 has done little to bring relief. The large estates into which the country has been divided for many generations "were pointed to as having a direct bearing on the present disturbed condition, the peotinie of its first settlement by Spanple on these haciendas being held in subjection to their owner by the peculiar law which provides that an employee cannot leave the land so long as he is in debt to his employer. Kach of these haciendas operates at store or commissary, the speaker stated, and the manager takes good care that the peons are never free from debt, thereby making virtual slaves of them. The Mexican people are an industrious and tractable people and could le made into good citizens by a demonstration of kindnesj and the eitab lishment of more schools, Mr Ivisq concluded
