Portland. In burning bituminous
coal. -nly small Quantities should he
fired at one time. Red hot coal
should not be smothered with fresh
coal, as the gases would be given off
so rapidly they would not be prop
erly burned. If possible, the vola
tile matter from fresh coal shouid
pass over' the glowing coal.
Thus reads a portion of the second
edition of Fuel Facts, a book of in
formation for consumers and savers
of fuel, just issued by the United
States Fuel Administra'iion, a copy
of which has been received by Fuel
Administrator Fred J. Holmes.
In fire-box boilers push the live
coal to the back part of the furnace,
and then fill up the 'front part of the
grate with fresh coal. Ignition then
takes place gradually from the bac'f
toward the front, the fire spreading
over the top of the coal and con
suming the volatile matter, and re
ducing or preventing the formation
of soot and smoke. When the vola
tile matter has been distilled from
this fresh charge, it should be pushed
back and more fresh coal added in
front.
A fire-box which permits alternate
feeding of coal at both ends will
greatly reduce the amount of soot
formed.
A level, even fire should be kepi
at all times, and holes should not be
allowed to form in the fuel bed.
The fire should not be raked or
stirred excessively, and the poker
should be used only when necessary
to break clinkers or any coke that
may have formed.
Anthracite coal has been barred
temporarily from Z1 New England
towns where it has been found that
bituminous, coke and wood could be
substituted.
The Fuel Administration asks the
head of each household to care for
his heater himself this winter to get
from every ton of coal every unit of
heat it can supply.

A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu
ture does not hold threat of serious
dllliculties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbln, appear on the hunger
map. distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In a different rela
tion from the other nations to the peo
ple of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
Prance and Is already making special
efforts to care for their Increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be Included in this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have Immediate relief. ?
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and site
was established once more in ber own
sent of government the little nation's
first thought was to express her grati
tude to the Commission for Itellef In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hnml, need
not figure In such a map for Ameri
cans because there Is no present Indi
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she Is
given access to shipping mid Is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou
ble centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
hnve sufllelcnt food to .meet Immediate
needs, but their fututre presents seri
ous dllliculties. The same Is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun
triesNorway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies,
Most of Russia Is already In the
throes of famine, and 40,000,000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them Inevitably must die.
This applies ns well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re
gions, with conditions most serious In
Klnlnnd. T
Bohemia, Serbia, Rounmnla and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula
tion is falling each week ns hunger
takes its toll, and In Greece, Albania
aud Komminla s-. serious are the food
shortages that fntu.'ne Is near. Al
though starvation Is not yet Imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur
key are in the throes of serious strin
gencies. In order to fulfil! America's pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which cm be han
dled through our ports. This menus at
the very least a minimum of JO.OOO.OTO
tons compared with (UH,0(K) tons pre
war exports and 11,81:0,000 tuns ex
ported lust year, when we were hound
by the ties of war to the European
allies. i
If we fall to lighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we ullow any i
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Itevolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Ittisslun de
bacle and our tight for world peace
will huve been In vain.
