Washington, D. C., August 21. —
(NWNS) — It is believed that one
of President Roosevelt’s prime
reasons for going to Hawaii was to
center additional attention on the
Japanese war—to remind the peo
ple of this country that there is
still a big war to be won after vic
tory in Europe. There is a gen
eral feeling among top military
leaders here that the people are
.anticipating returning to peace
time living as soon as Germany
gives up—and these leaders fear
that victory in the Pacific could
be delayed by months or by years
if war workers, and the public in
general, don’t attach more impor
tance to the vast job to be done
in the Pacific.
It is true that some types of war
production will taper, off when the
European phase of the war ends,
but other materials will be needed
in increased quantities. Manufac
ture of smaller planes, for exam
ple, may be cut down but the pro
duction of Superfortresses will be
greatly increased. This shift in
the kind of work to be done make
the best possible equipment for
fighting the Japanese, will call for
the transfer of workers from one
job to another, but there will still
be plenty of war work for all. In
the airplane industry alone it is
estimated that 100,000 men will
have to change jobs before the end
of the year. But in rhany areas
the manpower shortage will con
tinue and even after the war in
Europe is over there is expected to
continue to be a shortage of men
rather than a shortage of jobs.
Another misconception which
military leaders are trying to clear
up is the expectation of many peo
ple that a large part of the army
and perhaps some of the men in
the navy will no longer be needed
and discharged after victory in

that the personnel of the navy will

on the Pacific war, many new men
will be needed ; to replace those
who are no longer physically or
mentally able to continue fighting
and a large army will probably
have to remain in Europe to assist
in handling the vast policing prob

SMOKELESS COAL STOVES
•
A Utopian tomorrow—in which
neither coal burning trains, facto
ries, office and apartment build
ings, nor homes give off smoke —
is the promise held out by new de-
vtlopments in combustion princi
ples.
Of particular interest to some
17,000,000 users of heating stoves
in nearly half the homes of Amer
ica is a smokeless unit which will
be available just as soon as cer
tain critical materials are released
for civilian consumption, perhaps
even before the end of the war.
This new “bungalow furnace” —
three feet high, two feet square
and capable of comfortably heat
ing a four or five-room dwelling
unit — is expected to sell for a-
bout $60.
And there is the extra good
news that, in eliminating smoke
and gas, coal consumption goes
down. In discussing the features
of the new stove, Julian E. Tobey,
chairman, technical advisory
board, bituminous coal research,
said: “You actually burn the gases
and smoke which formerly went
up the chimney. That not only
gets rid of those nuisances but al
so cuts your coal bill. More than
that, this new heater burns the
carbon which previously was lost
with the ashes. Again more heat,
and less refuse to carry out.
Roughly, you can get about 50 per
cent more heat, and approximate
ly one-third fewer ashes, from the
coal that goes into the new stove
than you do with old-fashioned
models. In other words, $10 worth
of coal will give you as much heat,
minus the smoke, gas, soot, smudge
and grime, as you now get- from
$15 worth. It is estimated^ that
this saving alone will pay for the
cost of the heater within two or
three years.”
To satisfy the desire of house
holders for a smokeless coal-burn
ing heater, the bituminous coal in
dustry and 27 stove manufacturers
embarked on an intensive re
search program which, after more
than two years, led to the perfec
tion of the bungalow furnace that
has the same comfort and conve
nience features as higher priced
and more-expensive-to-opera t«
heating equipment.
The new stove operates on a sys
tem of air supply, similar to that
provided by the air jets which now
are being so successfully applied
to steam locomotives. The unique
and radically different but scien
tifically proved principle of stove
combustion combines three factors
—an ample supply of air at the
right points, a series of high-tem
perature refractory flues, and a
path of travel for the gases which
causes the latter to burn away and
thus not only eliminates smoke bat,
also effectively recovers a much
higher percentage of ihe heating
value of the coal.
Because of the original princi
ples on which it operates, the bun
galow furnace is not limited in the
kind of fuel it will burn—any type
of bituminous coal is satisfactory,
even the low-cost unscreened ruc-
of-mine variety.
A streamlined and ultra-modern
kitchen range, incorporating the
same principles of design and op
eration as the stove, also has been
developed and will give equal sat
isfaction with coal or wood.
Less frequent refueling likewise
means less smoke, as it is evident
only when coal is added to the fire
—even so, that little quickly dis
appears. It also means less work
for the tender of the stove — only
about one-sixth as much manual
attention as required by conven
tional types.
The bungalow furnace was thor
oughly tested under actual
heating conditions before an
nouncement to the public. Lfest
winter, 20 units were placed in
homes from West Virginia to Wy
oming, and it is on the basis of
their performance that the pre
ceding claims are' made, ;
