HOW THE COAL

BE OVERCOME
WASHINGTON. Oct !*. With the I
same degree of energy, enthusiasm
and patriotism as manifested by the
women of the I'nltcd States during
the year in saving sufficient wheat to I
feed all of the allies, the owners of
I steam plants and the firemen can save j
! in the next year forty five million tons |
of coal, and thereby reduce materially I
| the threatened coal shortage, accord- j
jing to the United States bureau of!
mines, department of the intrior.
In the average steam plant, for every
| hundred tons of coal burned, only fifty
seven tons are actually used In mak
1 ing steam. The bureau of mines de
| claros that It is entirely feasible to
j ncrease the average efficiency of these
j plants from 57 to 07 per cent, saving
I fifteen tons of coal out of every one
| hundred tons used. As 30O.UO0.OOn
I tons of coal annually an* necessary

j country, fin* same work could be done

j Among the war souvenirs recently ro
| reived here is a letter written on a
piece of coarse, semi-glazed paper,
dyed a bright red. which once was
a part or a German propaganda hnl

inan, who is now lighting in the
trenches in France, explains that the
balloon was brought down by Arnold
can soldiers, torn to pieces and the
remnants sent home as souvenirs. To
the gas-bag were attached a number

tery Speaking of this volume of the

ably one of the most famous volumes
of its Kind Ry Mussolmans through

hook A beautiful legend surrounds
this volume the blood spots on its
covers are sai l to lx* those of Mo
hamet himself I don't know the
motive that may have impelled those
who stole it 1 do not believe tile

the soviet government already has
promised to return it to any properly
designated body representing the Mo
hammedan church."
