Republican Senate Warning On Hoover In Relief Plan; Harrison Ironically Flays Leader Leaders Serve Conference Friendly, But G. 0. P. Solons Firm — Mississippi Democrat Flaunts Sample of Maga- | zine Ad Proposed to Laud President. |3 |3 Washington, Dec. 12 (UP)—Re- publican senate leaders have served on President Hoover a friendly warning in reply to his sharp com- plaint against relief proposals that were not in keeping with his own suggestions. News of the leaders’ action leaked at the capitol, and Majority Leader Watson confirmed that a meeting had taken place. It involved a tele- phone call to Mr. Hoover at the ‘White House. “We talked very frankly and fully,” Watson said. “We were in £00d humor and the president was in good humor. There were no sparks flying.” To Survey Relief Situation Nevertheless, it was learned the Tepublicans decided in their infor- mal strategy meeting to survey the relief situation carefully to deter- mine whether the $60,000,000 ap- propriated for drought relief and the $110,000,000 or $115,000,000 for unemployment would provide suffi- <cient relief. Mr. Hoover already bas condemned the drought appro- priation as (0o large and accused its eponsors of ‘“playlng politics with Luman misery.” The conferees decided that if lh?su‘ eums appeared to be sufficient they | would stand with Mr. Hoover on his recommendations. But if add\nonali funds appear to be needed, senate | republicans apparently will be in favor of voting them despite the sresidept’s aftitude. There apparently was sfstence that republican would like some ning in the fu- ture regarding White House state- ments so harshly critical of con gressional plans, 5o that some de- fense of the president might made against democratic attacks, the republicans deemed a defense | necessary. General Policy Outlined The general policy that republi- cans should strive to prevent a spe-| cial on the grounds that nothing could be more detrimental to the country, was laid down in| this connection. It was agreed re- publicans probably would be wasting valuable time to attempt to discour- age with replies the apparently un- diminished disposition of democrats to criticize the president The conference coincided with savagely humorous speech by Sen tor Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, in which he ridiculed a project to advertise in the Daily Press a letter addressed to Mr. Hoover in which contributors and signers would *‘ex- press our deep gratitude for what you have accomplished during the past year and to assure you that you will have in the continuation of your policies of readjustment the unquali- fled support of all Americans who, regardless of party or special inter- sts, have the nation's prosperity at heart.” Sponsored By Magazine The magazine World's Work spon- ed the project, according to the sample copy brandished gleefully by Harrison in the senate chamber. Russell Doubleday, editor, signed the | letter asking authority to use signa- | tures and advising that all signers | vould be asked to contribute propor- | tionately, not to exceed $100, to the cost of the venture. The angular Mississippian chortled. gulped and almost gasped with | laughter as he spoke. He seemed to consider the text admirably suited fo | nis gifts of satire. Vice President Cuartis repeatedly smashed hard on his gavel sounding board to suppress langhter on the floor and in the gal- leries. | ar Harrison was Senator Cara- way, democrat, Arkansas, whose | tongue has a penetrating lash. When | he thought Harrison was missing a point, the Arkansan would interject it. Harrison always accepted these friendly amendments.

C., Dec. 12—Wood burning _fireplaces in skyscraper apartments and restored chimney nooks in colonial houses have brought up many questions about wood fuels. Particularly timely are these questions as the Yule log sea- son approaches. “Poetry and fiction conspire to describe the log fire as ‘crackling,’ but few real chimney-sitters would use a word that crackles,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. ", headquarters eographic Society Thorn and Holly Burn Best “It a wood crackles many objec- tions can be raised to it, in addition to the general indictment that it throws sparks which endanger floors apd rugs. The wood may be | too dry,’ and burn too quickly: or it may be too damp, and give no heat: or it may be too full of im- purities, endangering the flue. “Ash, oak and c¢lm, among the! more common woods, make the best ire. Thorn and holly burn even better, but their rarity precludes hem from general usage. Dogwood, hazel and poplar are second-choice woods which burn well. But birch, while it flames freely, {is usually avoided. TIts by-products leave a lney residue inside the chimney hat may later catch fire. Birch is also a poor heat producer, as is| the sputtering, spitting beech, or the maple. “Dry wood, but not too dry, makes better fuel that green wood. wood contains water, 4s it of the National) heat the wood is capable of yielding is taken up in raising the water to the boiling point, and converting it into steam. The steam must then be raised to the temperature of the flue gasses. All this heat is lost. Bark and Roots for Fuel “The water in green wood often makes up half the total weight. Air- | easoned wood, that is to say wood nine to twelve months, should con- tain about 20 per cent of water.| This 1s considered the ideal propor- tion ~ “The various species of pine give a quicker, better flame than any| other common wood, but are con-| sumed so quickly that they are used principally as kindling. Birch gives a more intense flame than oak, but | oak gives a steadier heat. Butter- nut, tamara¢k and spruce are in {ll avor among fireside owners be- cause each throws off such a large ity In a number of species the bark | | has a higher heating value than | | other parts of the tree. In the northweét, Douglas fir bark is used Shaghark hickory bark burns with intense heat, but with much spitting | and crackling. Cedar bark burns | well but has a lower fuel value. ‘Underground Forests’ “Roots, where obtainable, make good fuel. Mesquite sometimes is more developed below ground fhan above, giving the name ‘under- ground forests' to stands of it in semi-arid regions. | “The traditional English Yule log | 18 generally a rugged and grotesque- Iy marked root of an oak.

He was pronounced dead at 12:14. He spent his last hours playing cards, ate two hearty meals, and was visited by his mother, Mrs. Julia Glovka, 60, who was acquitted Wed- nesday on charges of helping him in a recent attempt to break jail. Recalling Lenhardt's recent at- tempt to escape, officials placed 45 night and took exceptional precan- tions in admitting spectators to the death chamber. Besides his mother, five other per- sons were charged with crimes as a result of Ienhardt’s conviction. Three of them were found guilty.
