" Me Vs - a SATURDAY AP 7 A9E IN SERIES OF COAL MEETING Many People Anxious to Learn How to Stoke Furnace More Efficiently Although they come at the close of the coal consuming season instead of at a time when fuel forms a first fac- tor in provision for our comfort, much interest is being shown along the line of the Northern Pacific railway. in the series of coal conservation meetings which the company is conducting through its expert engineers in coop- eration with local commercial clubs. That America wastes millions of tons of coal through inefficient firing of engines and improper care of stoves and furnaces is a matter of common knowledge. In the past, however, coa! has been comparatively cheap and there has seemed to be plenty of it With characteristic American indiffer- ence, householders continued to per mit a large share of their income go up the chimney in the form of smoke and unconsumed carbon. The past year, however, has convinced every: one that coal must be saved, not only because it has ‘become more expen- sive, but for the reason that the sup- ply is limited; there is only a certain amount to be had, and any consumer who does not obtain his full share ot heat energy from the coal alloted to him stands an excellent chance of go- ing chilly before the close of another fuel. year. i Here. April 16 The ‘Northern Pacific originally equipped and sent out its coal con- servation car in its own interests, with a view to educating its firemen and enginemen, It early found, however, so much interest on the part of the general public that the operating de-, partment was easily prevailed upon to conduct. public meetings in addi- tion to its private demonstrations at important points in its territory. The fuel conservation car, in charge of engineers who have expert knowledge asto the precise number of heat units each shovelful of coal should produce, will arrive in Bismarck next Tuesday afternoon, and a public meeting will be-held at the Commercial club rooms Tuesday evening, when everyone who burns ‘coal is invited to come — out. Meetings already have been held at Duluth, Staples, Fargo, St: Paul, St: Cloud, Grand Forks, Minneapolis and Jamestown. The coal conéervation- ists will be at Mandan on April 15. In’ addition*to the lecture, moving pictures of. proper and improper. fir-|, ing, showing the results of this waste, are shown; there are pictures of Amer- ican soldiérs in training.in this coun- try and in.action:in France; interest- ing, chemical experiments, showing the combustion of fuel, are made by the engineers. The work has the hearty ehdorsenient and ‘cooperation of: Hon: J..F. McGee, federal fuel ad- ministrator “of Mitinesota ;' Capt. ‘I. P. Baker, federal’ fuel administrator for North Dakota, and District Fuel Ad- ministrator ‘Webb’ apd. County Fuel Administrator Jackson of Bismarck district and Burleigh county. CAPT. MURPHY . LIVING HIGH IN OLD FRANCE Castles . Nothing in His Short Young Life—Americans Making Friends Sanborn, N. D., April 13.—Writing to his mother here, Capt. H. T. Mur- pny of Bismarck, who went to Char- lotte as commander of the headquar- ters company of the Second North Da. kota, and who now is on duty in France, says he finds his work, that of billeting American troops, highly in- teresting, and that he has met with great success, “I have been in towns and cities where an American soldier had never been seen before,” writes Capt. Mur- phy, “and where all the children and grown folk ‘follow me around.’ 1 have eaten at the homes of dukes and counts and multi-millionaires, and in some of the finest palaces I ever hope to see. Paintings and art that were beyond me and castles that date back over 1,200 years have become com- monplace, and it is remarkable the way the people everywhere welcome the Americans. Nothing is too good for them, and what troops I have seen.have behaved well and have not abused the privileges given them.” Capt. Murphy speaks of a. visit with his brother, Capt. Jack Murphy of Bis- marck’s pioneer A. company. of the Fighting First, and. states that.Major ‘Hanley of Mandan,.who went out with the Second, is billeted not far away.

J, Hicks of Minneapolis, holder of the St. Louis world's fair Olympic medals, won a five mile marathon from John £, Karlsen of Bismarck, winner of the Chicago Olympic in 1914, in Bismarck last night. Time 31:35 minutes, The starting word was given at 7:30 . m. at the corner of Broadway and ourth streets, just as a drizzling rain began. A crowd of several hundred lled the streets, leaving only a pass age for the runners. A cheer arose with the cry: “They're off.” To the North Dakota state peni tentiary, a distance of probably slight: | ly more tnan two and a half miles the | race course lay. A line of automo- biles followed the racers. Both Start Well Both contestants seemed in good form duying the first two miles of the race. Neither led a great distance at} any time. But as they made the turn, at the penitentiary and started on the home stretch back to a line be; fore Bergeson’s clothing store, des: ignated as the goal, Karlsen's neglect of training, during recent months of indoor work, began to bear fruit. He did not fall behind, but an added ef- for could be discerned. Now Karlsen led, then Hicks. The drizzling rain! had made the course slippery in| places. All the way to the city the runners remained close together. But as they entered the business section, nearing the Bergeson store, Hicks gained. Karlsen, with a burst of speed over- came the lead, but could not hold it, and as they passed the goal line, Hicks led by a few feet, The crowd which had awaited the end of the race, cheered the victor, despite the fact that the Bismarck man, their favorite, had been defeated. Holoubek Challenges Winner John Holoubek of the Sanitary bak: ery announced last night that he would challenge the winner, who is now en route to Winnipeg to look after.some mining claims, but will re- turn to Bismarck probably within a few weeks.
