HERE'S ECONOMY k REGULATIONS FOR FIRINGRJRNAOE United States Department of Mines Tells How to Save Your Coal. The following rules have been is-

vur-a oy me ueparxmeni 01 .niuno under tb title of "Saving Fuel la Heatins; a House."

"Tbe suggestions have to do espe

cially with preventing incomplete combustion and tbe admission of a large t xcess of air into the furnace, and the minimizing of tbe attention necessary to maintain the proper temperature in tti-j rooms heated. "Whatever fuel may be selected, convenience will be promoted by having the heater large enough to maini Kin for at least eight hours, without Hitcation, proper room temperatures under any weather conditions, except k. I Lie most severe. If a heater will not lo this, it Is too small or the draft Is insufficient. Satisfactory regulation of tbe fire,will be facilitated by the proper equipment of dampers, including a hand damper In the smokepipe, h check damper, also in the smokepipe, and a damper, preferably a lift damper, in the ashpit. The ashpit damper and ash door, as well as the pit itself, should be made so that tbe upply of air under the grates can be entirely cut off by closing the door an damper; otherwise proper control of the fire will be difficult if not impossible. This is a point often neglected. If bituminous coal is to be burned a lift damper in the firing door Is advisable. Should Be Closed. "Wuether the fuel be bard or soft coal, coke, or wood, the stack damper should be kept partly closed at all times except in severe weather, unk'sy the- conditions as to the size of i be boiler antr draft are such that all available draft is regularly needed. In most cases, with the stack damper partly closed, the proper regulation can be obtained by varying the positions of the check damper and the ashpit damper. The fire door should not bp uned to check the fire except in emergencies, for the reason that the cold air admitted through the open door cools tbe t'irepot at the same time that it checks the fire. "Other suggestions that apply reCaidlsis of the fuel used are: Attend 10 the fire regularly; do not wait until it. ha?, burned low and heat is needed throughout the bouse. Often the need can be anticipated and by attention at tbe proper time trouble can be Avoided. In addition, economy of fuel is more likely to be obtained by fairly uniform rates of burning than by attempting to supply a large amount of

i.eKt in a short period and then suairrly checking the fire. Uniform Size Helps. "Lot the size of the coal fired be as nearly uniform as possible. Using oal of uneven sizes prevents an even How of air through the fuel bed and increases the tendency of the lire to bum through in spots. "Try to keep the fuel bed from air holes, as they cause waste of fuel and

may prevent the heater from maintaining the desired temperature. 'Avoid excessive shaking of the grates and thus reduce the amount of coal lost by falling into the ashpit. Ordinarily the shaking of the grates should he stopped as soon as bright particles begin to drop through, or, under some conditions, as soon as light from the fuel bed begins to show iu the ashpit. "To get the best results in firing anthracite," the following recommendations an; made:

' h'eep the fuel bed thick so that it i will not burn through in spots and ad-j ruit ii large excess of air. If there is a I

bright bed of coals over the entire urate, as there should be before a

Heart and Home Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I work in an office where there are three other girls employed . 1 am twenty-one years of age. The assistant-manager is always advising me when and what to do, as if he took an interest In me.. He also

does little favors for me. I have grown to like him to such an extent that when I am idle at all I can t get him off my mind. He is about thirty-seven years old and his wife has been dead five or sis years. Do you think I will

your thoughts have a chance to be very active. If the man loved you he would tell you so, or at least show his interest by taking you places and calling at

vour home. You have no reason to '

presume that he cares any more for you than to train you so that you can do good work for your employer. Dear " Mrs. Thompson: (1) la it right for a girl of fourteen to be out with a young man till midnight? (2) Is it right for a girl of seventeen to go to parties without a chaperon? (3) Is it right for a girl of fourteen to write to soldiers? (4) If a man asks to take three girls home in his auto, should they

knit and do other

things to occupy ray mind, but it doesn't seem to do any good. Do you think he cares for me? ADELE. You can stop

thinking about the assistant manager if you will. To do so you will have to put him out of your mind by force when you start thinking about him. Probably the trouble is that you enjoy dreaming about him and so instead of forcing yourself to think about something else --m humor and weaken yourself by letting your thoughts master you instead of you them. Find something to command your attention a good book or an interesting study. Knitting can be done without giving it much attention and so

(3) If a girl is with her parents

and a strange man asks to take all of them home, should she go? (6) Should 'a girl call up and find out how a boy is when she heard that he is sick? INQUISITIVE BUMPS. (Ii Xo, it is not right. (2) It is all right for a girl of seventeen to go to neighborhood parties without a chaperon, but not to dances and such affairs. (3) She is too young to write to soldiers unless they are relatives. (4) They should not go unless they know the man. (5) If a girl is with her parents and they accept a strange man's invitation to ride with him, it is all right to go. (6) If she and the boy are very well acquainted it would be all right to do so. She should, however, be careful not to phone at mealtime or when she thinks her call will be an nnoytnee.

harsh parts of the story so that what might give offense in any other actresse's hands is made into a brilliant point of life's tribulations. MURRETTE Miss Edna Goodrich, one of the most -charming of the younger theatrical stars whose fame centers in Broadway, is an assiduous patriot and a consistent one, too. Miss Goodrich, who is starred in a new Mutual production, "American Maid" at the Mlurrette today and Tuesday has thirty personal friends in the American army in France friends who were formerly actors or connected in soma way with the dramatic profession. MURRAY In "Broadway, Arizona," at the Murray-theatre today and Tuesday the cleverness and beauty of Fritzi Carlyle, star of a Broadway musical comedy, attracts John Keyes, a Westerner "doing" New York. The manager of the show sees in Keyes a good newspaper story, so he arranges for him to meet Fritzi. A sharp flirtation ends with Fritzi's promise to marry Keyes. The newspapers give the affair enough publicity to satisfy even Keyes. Later that day he reads that Miss Carlyle has denied the engagement. Keyes, humiliated, leaves for his ranch after telling her that some day she will be glad to come to him. Eight months later her health fails, and Keyes, accompanied by his foreman, Uncle Isaacs, an eccentric woman hater, go east, and disguised as hospital Internes, they kidnap the little actress lady.

Japanese Occupation of Vladivostok Not Reported to London LONDON. Dec. 17. Up to a late

On The Screen

WASHINGTON Sonia Markova, the new screen star that William Fox has presented to the film world makes her debut tonight at the Washington theatre where her photoplay, "The Painted Madonna," begins a two days' run. Sonia Markova has both beauty and talent and those who saw her last night went away highly pleased with her work. Mme. Markova portrays a happy village girl, then one who, saddened by a wrong, sinks into dissipation, and, finally, rises up to aid those girls who have fallen by the wayside in the struggle for existence. Mme. , Markova 'glides through all these phases of life with intense feeling, with her wonderful talent and keen knowledge of life she softens the

ihf fresh charge so as to make the bed approximately of uniform thickness and yet leave visible a bright spot of live coal to ignite the combustible gases coming off the freshly Tired fuel. Don't Throw on Too Much. "If the fire is low, take care not to put it out by throwing on too much Crush coal. Fire lightly and allow each firing to become ignited before fresh coal is thrown on. Use small sizes of coal if they are available. "When preparing the fire to last over night or for a similar length of time, push some of the burning coal asidy and fire the fresh charge so as to leave a bright spot visible to ignite the distilled gases. The drafts should then be allowed to stand open for a snort period, possibly half an hour, before they are closed for the night, so that a part of the volatile matter or gases in the coal can be driven off before the air supply is greatly reduced." The amount of fuel consumed will depend, it further is pointed out, on tbe size of the bouse, tbe number of rooms, and more largely still on its
