In this connection it may be said 

 that the Bureau of Mines has analyzed 

 samples of coal from all sections of the 

 United States and is prepared to give 

 information regarding the best uses to 

 be made of different kinds and grades 

 of coal. Detailed experiment and in- 

 vestigation enable the bureau to give 

 effective assistance in bringing about 

 improved stoking methods. Their tests 

 and the experiences of users of coal 

 demonstrate that an amazing saving 

 may be had without change of coal or 

 equipment by merely controlling the 

 fireman and his methods of putting coal 

 under the boiler. 



The executive committee of the 

 Cliamber of Commerce of the United 

 states is forming a special committee 

 to act as a clearing house of efforts to 

 reduce the unnecessar}' consumption of 

 coal.
