FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2D, 1918 r Great Problem -Put Op to Fuel Ad­ ministration to Increase Supply. Spine idea of the problems put up to the Fuel Administration may bs gained by consideration of the en­ larged demands made by the navy alone. The questions of transporta­ tion, storage and labor connected, with this supply^were worked out by other agencies of the government,, but here is the requisition made upon the coal supply o f the nation for the operation of i tt greatly enlarged navy: For the fiscal year 1917, Secretary Daniels' department called, for about 1^100,000 gross tons of bituminous, but in ths same period for 1918 the demand was for over 4,000,000. tons— in fact, 3,000,000 tons, or 00,000 car­ loads fpore than before, 90 per cent ef which Was delivered a t tide water. That literally meant 1,200 more trains ef SO oars each—a sizeable ur lerlak- lng. But the demand for anthracite also Increased, being three times as great as in. 1017, and it took 4,600.000 bar­ rels of fuel'oil and 11 , 000,00 gallons of gasoline to supply the navy, which need also 400,000 gallons of distillate a s fusL , This tremendous increase had to be so proportioned among producers that tfie factories engaged in making essential war supplies should not be hampered and so that public utilities, houses of business and homes Could have their needs filled, ROW well the Fuel Administration has done its work can he Judged from the feot that coal is available in Ohio wherever needed now* CARING fOR HOT-AIR fURNACESj The following suggestions have,.; been made by the Fuel Administra­ tion for the operation of hot-air fur- j naoe*. Their observance will help , Sava opal for essential industries and j 'result in more comfort: 1, Provide cold-air drop* (from up­ per floor* *o a* to insure a retain eiroulefciott from ail room* to the air in-take of the furnace. * ttawniate the- w.adoW of the oold-alr kox so a* to avoid too great a entreat of outside air, especially ,/yn very eold days. ■ ■ *.

Be Unprofitable In the Buckeye State. * The Fuel Administration for Ohio Is* beginning to show that the law under which It operates has teeth. The Food Administration has often forced donations to the Red Cross as * penalties for disregard of its rules, but it will be news to some to learn that the Fuel Administration la fol­ lowing the same practice.-. j Only a few days ago a Columbus firm had the .pleasure of turning over an excess profit in the form of a check, in this particular case having re­ course on the original shipper, a West Virginia firm, which had charged more than the regulation price, to which the Columbus firm had added the permissible profit. Profiteering, Fuel Administration Officials declare, will not be tolerated. Where, as in the case mentioned, the . original purchaser cau not be located, or for. any reason the refund can. not he made thus, the Red Cross or .some similar organization will -benefit AfR CONTROLS HEAT ■am^Hr •G1*'Wirlidhi Proper Damper Regulation Will Save Fuel For You, In th e average home only about 25 per cent of the heat value Is ob­ tained. Teste made at ths University of Wisconsin Bbow that it Is easily possible to obtain from 40 to 50 per cent and even 60 por cent. That means that half the annual household fuel bill is unnecessary and the money paid Is wasted. Most of this saving cun be accom­ plished by proper damper control. Dr. Breckinridge of the Sheffield Sci­ entific School a t Yalo gives an Im­ portant rule, in view of the fuel short­ age, when he says: "The‘flow of air through the fuel m akes'it burn. Learn to control.it. Try to visualize jhis flow of air through the fuel and yon Will easily l#am how to operate the damper* to control it properly. The draft of the chimney Is much diminished when, by opening the check damper, cold air is allowed to flow directly into the chimney.” Try it yourmlf. Don’t let your money flow np the chimney.

Its square flat houses'.stand tn straight even rows and along one side of the city wall is a long dormi­ tory for single women. There are immy tnorefof them than of the families In the drab little houses. The village Is full qf - women—old, young, middle- aged—whose faces, hands and hale slowly are turning yellow from the powder which It Is sahl will eventually affect their lungsl But most of them are refugees mid the fact tlint they are giving up their good looks, their healthy jind-perhaps^ tlielr lives in tho munition factory, Is of little moment to them. They have come into the walled town from rained villages and devas­ tated farms with their frightened little children, their despairing old people, carrying all their earthly possessions in tiny bundles. In their .Individual lives there Is no 'future; in all their world there Is no Interest but the con­ quest of tho Hun. No one comes Into this little war community that centers around the big now munitions plant but tljose who work. Because of the danger and the blighting yellow powder, the work Is hlgiily paid and all the workers are volun^ers. „ ' The women wear overalls or apron dresses, some of black sateen, some nondescript. The dull garb harmonizes with the yellowing faces and despair­ ing eyes. , Into this modern walled city of de­ spair the Blue Triangle has flashed Uie first message of hope. The 1*. W. C. A. foyer is the only recreational center within roach. The cats which find cafes at the end of the line a mile away, stop running at seven o’clock to save fuel. The city Is three miles Dorn tho factor#* . * “My problem,’’ writes the Y. W. C. A. secretary In charge, “Is to keep tho Women occupied in the. uvepltigs, to give them good healthy amusement so that they will forget their sorrows and go to bed and sleep, physically tired out from'playing.” r She goes on to tell of some of the women and girls who come to the foyer: “There Is a pretty little round, rosy- Chceked girl here who Is just beginning to show tho effects of the powder. The roots of her hair and her forehead are a pnto yellow, The palms of her hands are a deep burnt orange and her bands and arms a bright yellow. “There Is an cX-professional dancer, an Interesting girl who enjoys the foyer, and helps entertain the other girls. There Is a professional pianist who does her hit a t the noon and eve­ ning hours. There Is one rough-and- ready girl who speaks English, whose father was an innkeeper In northern France, There Is a pretty little girl who Is engaged to a French soldier who still is rejoicing over the five min­ utes she had With him recently during an air raid. *His mother is the care­ taker here 6«d*he Is one of six sons Id the war.

One lifts ft writing table and paper, pens and ink, sewing machines, a cupboard with teacups in It, a large table with papers and maga­ zines. easy chairs and .my desk. The. other room has a piano, more tables, chairs, Ironing boards, and a Vlctrola. There are* unfmmed French pictures and American and French war posters around the room. Tho walls are paint­ ed gray and white.”- Saturday evenings they sing and dance. “First they havo a chorus," writes the secretary, “such as-’Le Rove Passe’ or the Tiynme des Avinteurs’ or something equally thrilling, and at the final notes of triumph a voice nt my ears begs, ’Uu polka, meos.’ The polka finished, there Is a call for’the ‘Hymne America!a" and we sing tho ‘Star- Spangled Banner,’ (Lo Drnpcnu .Etoilc) In two languages." These foyers have been established lu several munition centers in Franco. Each one Jins a cafeteria, a recreation 1ml! and rooms fitted up as rest rooms, writing and sowing rooms. At night these rooms are filled with Frenoli. girls learning English, book- keeping or stenography, that they may work In the offices of the American Expeditionary Forces, In connection with each is a large recreation field or park. At the request of the French minis­ try of war the Young Women's Chris­ tian association has opened clqb- rooms for the sixteen thousand French women employed In the offices of the war department* So successful has been the foyet work In France that a call has come from England to the American Y. W, G, A. to bring its Blue Triangle huts and foyers across tho channel. The English Y. W. C. A. has established centers tfor munitions workers on a smaller scale, but after Inspection of the American work In France the four English representatives to the Allies* Women’s congress In Tarls In August, officially requested that the American Y.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Genesis 37: 1-17. 1, Joseph the Welt-Beloved' Son (37:1-4). Joseph was Jacob’s favorite son. This was duo partly to the fact that ho was the sou of tho wife of his. first love and the Sou of his old ago, but mainly because of the superior qual­ ifies which Joseph possessed. This favoritism expressed itself in ft su­ perior position and more respectable clothes. That Jacob should feel par­ tial toward Joseph, perhaps, was un­ avoidable, hut that he should manifest it was extremely unwise. Serious trouble will always result from par­ tiality being Bhown toward children. His brethren’s Intense hatred hurst forth upon him. This feeling was In- tjwSlfled by hls puro life and by his Bfttlmony among them because of their evil deeds. Joslah is a type of Christ, He was living In fellowship with his father a t Hebron (37:14)-; Christ was with the Father be­ fore coming into the world (John 16:28); Joseph was the beloved son (Genesis 37:3); Christ was the be­ loved Son of God (Matthew 3 :17); Jo­ seph Was hated by his brethren (Gene­ sis 87:4){ Christ was hated by his brethren (John 1S:24); Joseph was envied by his brethren (Genesis#? :11); Christ wns delivered up through envy tMark 15:10), 11, Joseph’s Dreams (37:5-11). 3.

Notwithstand­ ing this, he rendered' .willing obedi­ ence. Christ was sent'by the Father on a mission of mercy to his brethren (1 John 4:14; John 1 : l l ; Phil. 2 :7 ,8). Though he knew that the envious hatred of his brethren would result In his suffering and death on the cross, he went forth delighting to do his Fa ­ ther’s will. IV. Joseph's Reception by HI* Breth­ ren5(vv. 18-28). . 1 Their murderous plot (vv. 18-22), They said “Behold this dreamfer comfetli, let us slay him.” This IS what Christ’s brethren said about him (Matt. 21: 38). They thought they would prevent these dreams coming true by destroying the dreamer. Reu­ ben dissuaded them'from tills act by proposing to cast him into a pit, In­ tending afterward to rescue him and restore him to his father, 2. They strip him of his coat of many colors and cast him into-the pit (vv. 23, 24), In spite of his earnest entreaty against this act they perpe­ trated th' heartless cruelty (Genesis 42:21). » 3.

They took his coat Of many colors and dipped, it In the blood of & kid and sent It to his father, allowing him to draw his own conclusions as to the matter. Jacob is now reaping what he hud sown.
