More )rust be in getting into the Tank Battalion, He sated About one hunderecl millionn tons more than last year are required and this is considerably more than has ever been mined in one year. Strictest economy in the use of fuel must be practiced, and it is thg duty of every member of the' heating” trisde, engineer, steam fitter and furnacenan, to lend. his aid and experience toward this end. It should not be necessary for the Government to ration the coal supply for house heating. The steam and hot water fitters and furnacemen can see to it that all house heating plants are placed in such order and so ad- justed that the lowest number of tons of coal will do the most heating—or at least the heating necessary for comfort. This means q.uick, aggressive action on their part, They must tell the peo- ple how to save coal by remodelling their plants. Here and there are leaks, poor and uncovered piping, no t.eturn-air supply to furnaces, no check dampers, leaky heater castings and settings. Automatic temperature and draft regulations alone form a fertie field worth cultivating, Every Man An Expert Fireman. ...11.0111644 How to operate a heating system so as to get best results in something the heating expert must explain to the large general public. Management of the fires is another very important item, for here is where there is the greatest waste of coal because of in- complete combustion, A11 these sug- gestions must be worked out to best suit a contractor's locality and class of trade. It is his duty to suggest for his fellow citizens' comfort, and if he is alive to his opportunities both he and the public will profit. All heat- ing. boilers, furnaces and stoves re- quire the care of some individual, and personal instruction is therefore essential. To this end, information has been collected to'give an idea of the tons of coal required to adequately heat a house No more coal than re- quired for a given condition should be purchased. ' Every user of coal is plac- ed on his honor in this regard. "rhe Fuel Administration has ruled that tee 1918 supply of coal can only be two- thirds of that of 1917, so it is esse't Nal that you and your customers make this allotment 510, Jest the Govern- ment ration the supply. No one wants to see coal Supplied by card only, so quick action is necessary, Many ideas for reducing the coalre- euirements have • been suggested. Among them is shutting off unneces- sary rooms and the like. Other local conditions exist that the heating ex- pert can find on the job. 'Coal • saved at hone has tremendous power, 11 will helo supply the men, the. guns clad the shells that must go to finish the Kaiser) Every ton saved in a home is a ton released for some factory, England On Coal Rations England has found it necessary to ration the coal supply this winter, and the new household fuel and light- ing order allows five tons of coal for the ordinary six -town house—with a cold lnathrooin—for one fuel year. Of course, the weather conditions throughout England are not as severe as in a .large part of the United States and Canada, and while Eritishers will feel sone inconveniences this winter, they are not kicking. To carry out the spirit of the order is the attitude of the people, according to London advices. Local fuel bureaus take care of cases where there are sick patients or invalids, Other special cases are homes in which day and night work- ers dwell, making double use of the house.
