EASY TO SAVE THIRD OF COAL BILLSSAYS HYDE Means of Cutting Fuel Expense and P r e v e nting Shortage Given. By HENRY M. HYDE Coal. Everybody knows it Is high priced and hard to get Winter approaches, when an empty coat bin means trouble. What Is to be done about it? Suppose you live In a 6lx-room frame cottage-lf your establishment Is larger or smaller the same advice goes. Perhaps you bought the house on the installment plan, price with lot, $4,500. The building measures 20x35 feet on the ground and the studding measures 18 feet. The house is heated with hot water. Go down to the basement and look at the heating apparatus. The chances are that neither the hot water boiler or the pipes running from it are covered with asbestos or any other insulating material. Therefore the heat produced by burning the coal has been radi

ating freely. Chance to Save. If your total consumption of coal has been fifteen tons a year, you may put it down as a practical certainty that to cover the boiler and pipes with insulating material would cut down llie amount of coal necessary to twelve tons a year. In other words to Install Insulation on the heating apparat tus would save three tons of coal this year and every succeeding year. Get an estimate and figure it against the cost of three tons of coal, multiplied by as many years as you think the insulation will last. Look now at the smoke pipe. It probably has only a single dampsr. If that is true, to have a double damper put in will make an appreciable saving In the coal consumption. Combustion will be more perfect and gases now carried up th chimney will be burned. Look to the Attic. Jump from the basement to the attic of your cottage. If you have never been up there before, you will probably find there is no floor to walk on. You will have to carefully pick your way from one loose board to another, laid on top of the rafters when the carpenters finished the job. The attic is dark, except for rays of light that stream in along the eaves, which the carpenters didn't take the trouble to seal up. The floor of the attic consists of merely a single layer of lathing and plaster. It will not do much to retard the upward radiation of heat from the floor below, particularly when one considers the amount of coal air which enters the attic through the openings along the eaves. If you will buy about $10 worth of heavy building paper and lay or have laid a double thickness of the paper over the entire attic surface, battening the paper down with lath to the tops of the exposed Joists, you will save at least two tons of coal this winter and each succeeding winter. If you will spend enough money to buy a regular insulating quilt half an inch thick and apply it in the same way, the saving will be three tons a year. Save 8ix Ton of Coal. By making these changes in the equipment of your house insulating the heating apparatus and stopping the escape of heat through your attic you will find that it is necessary to buy and burn only nine tons of coal, Instead of fifteen each winter. The installation of storm windows and of weather stripping around doors, windows, and all outside openings in the house will further increase the saving in coal consumption. The question is not whether you can afford to make these improvements. With coal at its present price, can you afford not to make them? Moving from h six-room cottage to an apartment house or a tall office building, the proper stoking of a fiteam plant becomes more Important. 150,CCO,C0O Tons Wasted. The pouring of dense clouds of black smoke out of the stacks of heating and power plants used to be considered a symbol of prosperity. It is now known to be proof of the waste of fuel. Each year the United States digs some G00.000.000 tons of coal. The United States bureau of mines the highest authority on the subject estimates that at least 25 percent of that amount of 150,000,000 tons are annually wasted, chiefly by improper stoking and by the lack of Insulating material. Almost every consumer of coal in the United States could cut down his fuel bill at least one quarter probably nearly one half by making the improvements suggested. Pacifist Speakers Held Under Bonds : HARTFORD, Conn.. Sept. 17. The cases of Mrs. Anna Riley Hale, of New .York, and Alfred Whitehead of this city, arrested yesterday at a meeting .of the Hartford branch of the Peoples Council of America for Democracy and Peace, which was stopped by the ;police after Mrs. Hale had spoken in .criticism of the President and condemnation of war, were continued today until tomorrow. Whitehead was chairman of the meeting. The accused are held under $500 bonds each on a charge of breach of the peace. The postponement was on motion of the acting prosecuting attorney.

Short Skirts Again to be Paris Vogue PARIS, Sept 17. The Paris Dressmakers' Syndicate Chamber, the association of all the chief houses, has Informed the government in answer to an official Inquiry, that the length of wool cloth for dresses for the winter of 1917-18, will cot exceed 4 metres, a little less than five yards. The director of one of the best known houses in Paris and London, interviewed on this decision, which seems to foreshadow the continued use of short skirts and to insure the tailor-made costume as general wear, said: . "The diminution of the length of cloth in wool costumes has really been in effect since last season. Without any general agreement merely under the pressure of necessity, dressmakers had already restricted the amount used before the war by 25 per cent Army needs, la America as well as France, and the diminished production in the two countries oblige us to continue along these lines. Of course, we shall make no attempt to get round the Chamber's decision by ordering cloth of greater width; we shall try to employ a mixture of materials, combining wool materials with silk or cotton velvet. The recent decision cannot affect our models for next winter's gowns for they were ready before it was reached."

CHURCH CROWDED ON ANNIVERSARY Th South Eighth Street Friends church was filled at both morning and evening services Sunday when the fiftieth anniversary of the building of the church was observed. Nearly 150 attended the Sunday-school services. Benjamin H. Johnson and William Hiatt, two of the oldest members of the church, both of whom are charter members, took the members back to the time before the present church was erected and pointed out the progress the church has made since that time.

Clemenceau Assures Soldiers

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN FRANCE. Sunday, Sept. 16. American infantrymen of the expeditionary army held their first field day today since their landing in France with Georges Clemenceau, former French premier, as the guest of honor. A battalion of an infantry regiment gave demonstrations of machine gun, rifle and bayonet assaults, concluding with a genuine American athletic program including hundred-yard dashes, tugs of war and boxing bouts. The entire battalion that participated in the program lunched in the open air, M. Clemenceau being the guest of General Siberf and the French officers dining with the American brigadier generals. In an address to the American officers M. Clemenceau said: Says He Feels Honored. "I feel highly honored at the privilege of addressing you. I know America well, having lived in your country, which I have always admired, and I am deeply impressed at the presence of an American army on French soil in defense of liberty, right and civilization against barbarians. "My mind compares this event to the Pilgrom Fathers who landed on Plymouth Rock seeking liberty and finding it. Now their children's children are returning to fight for the liberty of France and the world." Later M. Clemenceau addressed the entire battalion saying: "You men have come to France with CHURCH ATTENDANCE Continued From Page One. how to meet the fundamental needs of the boys and girls of the church was expressed by Dr. Purdy of Earlham. Parents Should Teach "Parents should be responsible for teaching their children the fundamental principles of the church," Henry Pickett of Winchester said. The meeting generally agreed with him. Reports from quarterly meetings throughout the district were read and all showed that attendance records were greatly increasing as is family worship. It is believed that the increase is due to the war. Nearly all of the reports showed that the churches throughout the district are freely contributing to war relief work such as will be done by various reconstruction units, soon to be on their way to France. The meeting, which is always held preliminary to the meeting proper, was presided over by Ancil E. Ratliff, as clerk. He has held the position for the last ten years and at the close of the morning session made the request that another person be elected to succeed him. The appointments were to be made late Monday afternoon. War Questions Up. The Indiana Yearly Meeting is the mother of similar meeting established in the west.. It is expected that many discussions will come before the delegates relative to the war and the stand to be taken by Quakers. While the church has always been opposed to active participation in the war, they have subscribed much money for the support of organizations to relieve suf fering caused by the war. The report of the Peace committee, of which Prof. Allen Hole, of Earlham college, is chairman will be read before the meeting Thursday. The stand of Quakers regarding the war probably will be definitely stated at this meeting. The formal opening of the meeting will be made at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, following a meeting for worship at 8 o'clock. Requests from quarterly meetings and directions, to representatives will be made. ,

And not only does it burn the coal, but every particle of combustible material contained in coal the gases for instance, which in nearly every heater are absolutely lost. These gases (which amount to about 40 of the heat value of coal) will not burn unless mixed with highly heated oxygen. Our Hot Blast arrangement supplies the necessary highly heated oxygen, turning these gases into the most powerful roaring blue flames.

In this way the New Globe Hot Blast will generate from 40 to 50 more heat than any other stove (on the same amount of coal). We guarantee It to be the most powerful and economical heater on earth.
