ECONOMY MUST
BE PRACTICED TO
CONSERVE COAL
Fuel Administration Sends
Questionnaires to Heads
of Big Plants
Philadelphia, July 18.—"William
Potter, State Fuel Administrator,
"made the statement yesterday that
he is confident the coal situation will
be such next winter that industrial
suspension will be at a minimum.
At the same time a movement to put
steam power plants on a strictly eco
nomical basis, Involving a large sav
ing of coal, was gotten under way
throughout the jitate. Each such
plant received a searching question
naire concerning its equipment and
methods for coal consumption, from
which data for grading its fuel us
ing efficiency will be secured. The
amount of coal allowed will be only
that percentage of its normal con
sumption that corresponds to its per
centage of efficiency in economic fuel
consumption.
With this questionnaire went a set
of recommendations headed with the
significant warning, "Tour coal sup
ply will depend on your compli
ance with these recommendations."
They urge:
Rules to Guide Plant Heads
That provision be made for weigh
ig and recording the fuel used each
shift or day. It is explained that a
low rate of combination per square
foot of grate means waste. For soft
coal, it should not be less than 15
to 20 pounds per square foot of
grate surface per hour; for steam
sizes of anthracite, 10 to 15 pounds.
That feed water be heated, meas
ured and regulated. This, with the
record of coal, permits calculation
of the water evaporated per pound
of coal. Exhaust steam should be
used for heating feed water.
That provision be made for a cor
rect air supply and a convenient
means for the measurement and con
trol of the draft. Draft gauges are
urged to determine the air pressure
to the furnace, also suitable instru
ments for analyzing flue gases to
check combustion.
That provision be made to keep
boiled surfaces clean inside and out.
The feed water should be treated to
prevent scale formation in the in
side of boiler or tubes.
That the grates be in good repair,
that settings, breeching and access
doors be free from air leakage, and

That the surface of steam piping,
drums and feed water heaters which
waste heat by radiation bo properly
covered with insulating material.
That exhaust steam be utilized
wherever possible instead of direct
steam from the boilers. Exhaust
steam from the engine contains
about 90 per cent, of the heat in
live steam. Never allow exhaust
steam to escape to the atmosphere
when it can be used for any useful
purpose. Use it for heating build
ings, feed water and general pro
cess work.
That a committee of employes be
detailed on fuel conservation in the
engine and boiler rooms and for the
work of fuel, power and light con
servation outside of the power plant.
Some form of bonus arrangement
is suggested for those of the com
mittee most active in accomplish
ing results.
The plants arc also asked to use
stagger manufacturing operations so
that the peak loads will be flattened
as much as possible. The replacing
of carbon lamps with mazda and the
elimination of arc lamps by using
large lighting units of a more effi
cient type are recommended.
N'o Ooal For Stubborn Landlord
Out of the seventy-five cases which
Thomas M. Hyndman, associate
counsel for Chairman Lewis, has in
vestigated tenant and landlord have
been brought to agreement in sev
enty-four instances; but the ckse of
Samuel Englander, Who insists that
his tenant in No. 5300 block. Wyalus
ing avenue, must vacate, could not
be adjusted. Consequently the city
fuel administration yesterday sent
notice to Englander that the house
should receive no coal during the
coming winter. This means that the
house will be vacant till next coal
year begins. It is the first applica
tion of the recent declaration made
by Chairman Lewis to prevent profi
teering landlords from taking ad
vantage of tenants.

The chief results gained by the Germans in their fifth offensive launched against the Allied lines on
the western front appear to be as follows: Below the Marne, east of Fossoy, where the Americans drove the
Germans back across the river, the enemy still holds a strip a mile or more deep on a front about ten
miles. Extending from the north of the river along a front of thirteen miles the Germans gained a depth
of from two to three miles. East of Rheims, in the neighborhood of Prunay. they gained a mile and a half
on a very narrow front.
NEW TAX BILL
WILL LUMP ALL
TOLL FOR WAR
Each Citizen Can Calculate
His Burden in $8,000,-
000,000 Measure
Washington, July 18—Under the
new *8,000,000,000 war revenue bill,
which the House Ways and Means
Committee began considering yester
day in secret session, the American
taxpayer will be able to determine
the exact toll taken from him to sup
port the war.
Chairman Kltchin announced that
direct taxation on all citizens was
contemplated as the easiest way of
finding additional revenue.
For the first time in the country's
history, all taxation bills are to be
merged in one single measure as faT
as possible. The taxpayer, after the
passage of the new bill, which will
be reported to Congress some time in
September, by understanding this
single piece of legislation, will be
able to estimate the war tax levy
against him individually.
In framing the new tax law the
House committee will enter fields
that never before have been explored
by the adventurous American.
No Tax on nrrnkfant Table
At to-day's sessions there was a
general discussion of the tax on in
comes, excess profits and luxuries,
but no conclusion upon any particular
item was reached and the committee
adjourned until Friday, while the
tentative draft is being further work
ed out. •
The only new suggestion in the
confidential print or the tentative
bill is as to taxes on candy and fire
arms, but no rate of taxation Is pro
posed. None of the long list of lux
uries which the Treasury proposed
for taxation is Included. They will
be taken up later. Members of the
committee believe many probably
will be discarded. No tax will be
levied upon the 'breakfast table" or
upon such commodities as sugar, tea,
cotton, lumber, wheat and oil, ac
cording to members.
"This bill will co-operate all ex
isting tax laws and make it possible
for the taxpayer to determine the
amount of his war taxes and to pay
them all in a lump sum," said Chair
man Kitchin.
All Dlreet Taxation
However, Mr. Kitchin did not say
exactly what he meant. He intended
to make clear that the taxpayer, by
provisions of the bill, will have the
opportunity to learn what his war
taxes are to the final cent and not
through the hands of "war profit
eers." For instance, the new bill
will permit the payment of the tax
on tobacco directly across the coun
ter, instead of indirectly through the
tobacco dealer.
Profit taxes also will be easily esti
mated. If the majority of the com
mittee has its way the measure will
assess a direct-tax of 80 per cent on
all excess profits due to the war, al
though this British and Canadian Idea
was fought by Mr. Kitchin at the
last session.

TWO HUN FLYERS
MADE ATTACK ON
U. S. HOSPITAL
Inquiry Reveals Bombard
ment of Red Cross Insti
tution Was Deliberate
Purls, July 18—Two German air
planes took part In the deliberate
bombing of the American Red Gross
hospital nt Jouy late Monday night.
An investigation of the affair has
been made at the request of Harvey
D. Gibson, American Red Cross Com
missioner for Prance, by Daniel T.
Pierce, of the Committee on Public
Information.
The report shows that four bombs
were dropped at 11 o'clock at night.
Two fell squarely on tents, and the
fourth fnifed to explode.
There are no structures of any kind
near the hospital and the nearest
railroad is three kilometers away. In
addition to the usual Red Cross mark
ings, a large cross 100 feet long was
in position on the lawn. Photographs
taken recently from airplanes showed
that the cross was visible several
thousand feet in the air.
Seven kitnesses agreed that the Ger
man aviators flew back and forth
several times. They then shut oft
their engines, dropped to within a
few hundred feet and let go their
bombs after a careful observation.
The German aim was good, but for
tunately only two enlisted men were
killed and nine of the hospital per
sonnel wounded.
Two pieces of a bomb went through
a window and passed within four feet
of the surgeon in charge, who was
performing a difficult operation.
When the bombs fell all the lights
went out, leaving the operating tables
in darkness, and the surgeon with
great difficulty was able to Five the
patient temporary relief. Another
Piece of bomb tore open the chest of
an orderly as he was raising a pa
tient to give him a drink.
One of the nine hospital attendants
wounded lost a leg, imputation being
performed Tuesday. A private from
Philadelphia was struck by a piece of
bomb at almost the identical spot on
his back from which a piece of shrap
nel had been removed a few hours
previously. A fragment of steel
traversed the entire length of a tent
only a few inches over the head of a
long row of surgical and gas cases,
went through the end wall of the
tent and struck a nurse who was
standing outside. She was not
wounded seriously.
The hospital had until recently 60
wounded German prisoners among its
patients. They had received exactly
the same treatment as the other pa
tients and were even given special
Fourth of July delicacies. All the
Germans were grateful, except a lieu
tenant, who objected violently to be
ing placed in the same ward with his
men.

City To Worry Along This
Summer Without Dog Catcher
High Wage Scale at Munitions Plants Works Havoc in
Ranks of Eligibles; County Tax Supersedes That of City
Despite the world war and the
news of great drives there Is one
bright spot In the summer skies for
the youngsters in the city. There
will be no official dog catcher in
Harrisburg this year.
Of course that means that a cer
tain mischievous summer sport will
no longer be enjoyed, but who cares
about opening the door of the dog
catcher's wagon when there isn't go
ing to be a dog catcher.
"Harrisburg will not impose a dog
tax this year and will not make any
effort to round up stray dogs, except
any unlicensed ones whith may be
shot by the police," a city official
said. "The state law passed last year
directs that owners of dogs must pay
a license fee to the county treasury
and as the law applies to the city
and county districts it is not the in
tention of council to impose a double
tax on the owners of canines in the
city."
The custom in past years had been
to appoint a dog catcher In the city

some time during July and to pay
him $1 for each dog which he caught
and killed. Some officials doubted
whether there 'would be an appli
cant for the place this year because
of the wages being paid In the muni
tions plants, but others said that the
city would have no trouble in get
ting some one.
Probably the only discouraging
news for the youngsters who each
summer are in constant fear that
their pets will be taken is that the
county commissioners are now going
over the lists of names of persons
who have paid dog licenses and as
soon as this Is completed will direct
constables and police to shoot any
for which no tax has been paid.
Efforts of the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals to have
a dog catcher appointed for the city,
or to provide some other humano
method of killing the stray dogs so
far have brought no definite results,
city and county officials taking no
action.
