POP— Musical Argument
By J. MILLAR WATT
The Curse of Progress
The Adjective Slinger
One of the inmates of an Ameri
can prison was called into the war
den's office.
“You were sent here, 1 believe,
for writing a glowing prospectus for
an oil company.’’
“Yes." said the prisoner; “1 was
a little too optimistic."
"Well,” went on the warden, “the
authorities want a report on condi
tions in this prison. I’ve decided to
let you write it”
A Hard Night
“1 shall put you fellows in this
room.” said the host “You'U have
a comfortable night I’m sure be
cause the room has a feather bed ”
At 2 o’clock In the morning one
of the guests awoke his companion
“Change places with me. Dick,’’
he groaned. "It’s my turn to lie
on the feather."
The Expense
*T am in favor of peace at any
price.”
“Yes." replied the pessimist “but
suppose you wake up some morning
and find you haven’t got the price.”

LJ OM E-OWNERS can’t possibly
11 get maximum economy and
efficiency from their heating
plants unless they burn the proper
size coal. While different sizes
can be burned in most furnaces,
don’t underestimate the impor
tance of using the size—or combi
nation of sizes—best suited to your
leater to produce the most heat
for the least money.
The size of the ftrepot in your
tirnace will, under ordinary cir
cumstances, indicate the most et~
flcient size to use. With a ftrepot—
or interior—24 inches in diameter
and 16 inches deep, egg size is
usually recommended; 18 to 23
nches diameter and 12 to 18
mches deep, stove or chestnut
size; less than 16-inch diameter,
chestnut size.
Local climate, position of fur
nace, size of chimney and house
sometimes make it advisable to
vary these sizes. To be sure of
what size coal you use, I would
suggest you have your dealer call
and advise you which size, or
sizes, will give you the greatest
heat value at the most economical
cost.
