Preparation of Equipment for Any Kind of Coal. 1 See that the grates are in good order. 2 Seal air laaks in ash rn and around clean-out doors, otherwise the dampers will not control the fire. 3 Cover steam and water pipes to prevent unnecessary radiation. 4 Provide suitable clean-out tools for boiler flues. 5 Save your coal by not operating your furnace in mild weather —use fireplaces, gas fogs, kerosene heaters, etc. . 6 Prevent air leaks as far as possible by weather strips and storm windows. 7 Provide for recirculating air in hot-air furnaces by convenient slides in the pipes. Part 2. Management of Furnace for Bituminous (Soft) Coal. No change in grates is needed to burn bituminous coal in furnaces heretofore using anthracite, except in the case of grates adapted to fine sizes of anthracite where the air passages are small and not casily cleaned. To burn high volatile coals without serious smoking may re- quire change in equipment. 1 Keep heating surface clean. 2 Carry a decp fire (12 to 18 inches.) Do not let the fire burn too low. For quick heat fire only a small amount ot coal. Study carefully the proper use of the three dampers. Usually it will be found that (a) the pipe or flue damper should be open when firing fresh coal and should be partly closed when the fire is well start- ed; (b) the ash pit damper should be open to start up fire, open a little during the day, but shut at night; (c) the check draft damper should be shut to start up fire, open partly the day and night as experience openpd & series of attucks bv garden clubs and professional gardeners, pre- senting with u show of spirit that & cording to their experience the im- yorted narcissus bulb w 1 the continued be: Tnited States, and nusly men: either horticulture.

The Garden Club America opened the attack of those opposed to proposed restriction. Mrs, Harold 1. Pratt of Glen Cove, Long Island, explaining that more than 100 mem- s of the club had come to the con- ference, representinz nearly 6,000 amateur gardeners, declared: “At this moment this organization is mot convinced of the necessity for the restrictions about to be imposed upon European-zrown bulbs of the narcissus family on uccount of their infestation by the eel worm and the bulb flies, nor is it convinced of the necessity for the resirictions against Sefllas, Chinodoxas, Calanthus, ran- this, Ixia, Muscar! and Fritillaria. The Garden Club, Mrs. P'ratt said, 1sed the following questions: f the infestation of the bulbs of the Narcissus family were the men- acing danger described by the Federal Horticultural Board, why has our country been subjected to the risk of devastation during the past three ears? Why were not these bulbs ex- cluded absolutely in December, 19227 “What has occurred during the past three years to make the future impor- tation of European bulbs of the Nar- cissus family more dangerous for American agriculture and Hortleul- ture than the importations of the past? Qestions Local Infection. “Why will not the sale of an Amer- jean-grown bulb of the Narclseus family, propagated in an admitedly infested region with no proved pros- pect of a certified Ieders r State bill of health, be more of a potential menace to the comparatively pest free States than an Eurcpean bulb grown in a locality where bulb culture and vanitation are better understood and practiced than in any other locality of the world? “What absolute and definite proof can the Federal Horticultural Board offer of recent transmission of pest from the narcissug bulb to crops of alfalfa, clover or onions in any coun: ] as | n the United | in its truining for citizenship to foster this sentiment in every possible way.

PLAN TO RESTRICT { SOLID-TIRE TRUCKS : SHARPLY ATTACKED ___(Continued from First Page) the latter of the Board of Trade com- mittee, presented voluminous testi mony to show that the regulation which confines truck loads to the rated capucity fixed by the manufacturer is a wrong basis for determining loads, Lecausa the rated capacity does not { indicate proper loads trucks cun carry safel They urged the Commissioners repeal It. contending that the public and the highways can be amply pro. damage by proper tires and adequate brake fucilities.

Opposes Parking Abreast Rule. When the proposed regulation came up which is intended to permit com merclal vehicles to stop abreast of parked machines for 10 minutes to make a delivery, there was some dif- ference of opinion as to the results it would cause. Mr. Columbus stated that such a rule is necessary to en- able merchants to make deliveries, and that while the average deliveries would not take 10 minutes, he thought that allowance was a proper one. Mr. Rayner of the Board of Trade committee sald his committee recog- nized that t nts have a prob- lem in making these deliveries, but expressed the belief that the regulation as worded would give every passenger vehicle in the District the sume right to stop abreast a parked vehicgle that is intended to be given to the com- mercial car, and he sald this situation would have the effect of leaving no room for the commercial vehicles. Mr. Rayner suggested that the matter of allowing commercial vehicles to stop long enough to make deliveries could be handled by the police in an admin- istrative was so as to meet the needs of the merchants, without a broad regulation that would result in all ma- | chines stopping ubreast. | The list of umendments included Kecore or more of locations where the parking rule would be liberalized to ! permit a_two-hour limit. This was indorsed by Mr. Rayner. Mr. Colum- bus stated that his organization favor- fii ?rn!orcement of a one-hour parking mit. While the load of trucks was under consideration, Mr. Fanciulll declared that limiting the load to the rated capacity of the manufacturer would not only multiply the number of trucks on the streets by reducing the loads now carrled, but would increase the cost of ltving in Washington by $53 a year per caplita.
