' {HE DURHAM CHRONICLE A GREY TOWNSHIP CASE Edward Woods of Ethel was fin- ed $100 and costs. or three months in jail by Judge Doyle. for aggra- vated assault upon Wm. Eckmeir, also of Ethel. The case arose out of 14 of Eckmeir’s cattle getting into Woods" field. Woods im- pounded the cattle and Eckmier called a fenceâ€"viewer. who decid- ed that Woods’ fence was to blame «and he had to pay $14 for the re- lease of the cattle impounded .'Woods then assaulted Eckmier. who is 70 years old, and beat him severely. Reeve Leckie of Brussels first heard the case and sent Woods up to Goderich. The fine was paid.â€"F0rd\\‘iph Record. Of late the Hon. George E. Fos- ter has been delivering able and timely addresses on the subject. and the world would be benefited bv following his advice along eco- nomic lines. Take, for example, the population of Canada which. at present is about eight millions. If each one should save. from useless expenditure the small sum of 1%. daily the yearly savings \vould astonish the most of us. Just take out your pencil and figure it no for yourself. Ten cents a. day on a population of eight million would mean $800,000 a day. or an annual saving of $292,000,000. That's more than we spend on War at the present time, and ten cents .a day on each individual is the basis on which the calculation is made. Think it over, dear read- er, and consider the advisability of being one to try the simple exâ€" neriment. W'e may all need to practise economy and this can be best done as suggested by a prominent cit- izen by denying ourselves the luxâ€" uries in which some have indulged too lavishly during the past. The citizen in question thought many of the Christmas presents might easily be cut out. There .is an ele- ment of good sense in the sugges- tion, and especially in the buying of useless cards and other articles during the festive season. It seems hard. however, for the poorer neo- nle to deny themselves the pleas- ures of sending little presents to their friends at Christmas, while their richer neighbors mav go on with their usual indulgences.. the need for more accommodation will be felt perhaps sooner' than we expect it. To build for the fu- ture, by building large enough, is a good plan generally. Durham is almost sure to expand in area. and the population should increase in even a greater ratio. We want a big army of recruits growing up to fill the gaps caused by those who dr0p out forever. We want a natural increase, and not have to depend for pOpulation on the im- porting of all kinds of stuff. We want 3 “Born in Canada” popu- lation. even if we have to pay higher school taxes to educate it It isn’t well, however, for the poor peonle to try, even in a small measure, to follow the QXample of those in better circumstances. Ev- ery season sees hundreds of dol- lars spent in useless truck that might better be devoted to other Durposes, and the changed condi- tions may impress upon all the necessity for ,a. more rigid species of economy. We dO'l't underS‘ta‘nd 13W, but Our impression was that a man own- ing cattle had to fence them 1:: ahd keep them at home, and that the other fellow wasn’t supposed to build a fence to keep his neighbor’s cattle out. Our ignor- ance refers only to the nature of Woods’ fence, and not to the of- fence. for which he may not haxe been taxed high enough. The big bubble to make a citx of Port McNicoll has ex identlv got pricked and three hundred and iorty-three lots are now adva- tised in the Simcoe county tax The attendance at the High School this term is over a hund- red, with more to follow. This leads us to doubt whether the new school will be large enough when completed to meet the re- quirements. If additions have to be made in the near future it will give the building a patchy ap- pearance, and perhaps interfere with. the heating and other con- veniences. If Durham is bound to keep on growing, and the young population growing in propOrtion. DURHAJI. SEPTEMBER 23 1915.

The 16th had charged through an Orchard with a num~ ber of small forts in it and wegharl to extend to their right and dig ourselves in and then 'hold the po- sition that had been gained at so terrible a cost. I never worked so hard in my life as I did that night digging the trench. We were only about 40 yards from the German first line of trenches. They kept sending up starlignts and worrying us with rifle fire all the time. The Captain in command of my company (No. ‘2), was wounded, the lieutenant of my platoon and my section command- er were killed that night, besides a lot of men. However. next morn- ing found us in a well protected trench, but short of rations and water. It was next night that the Germans made a counter attack. which we repulsed. The fellow next to me got a bullet, either a dum-dum or explosive. through his head, and his brains spattered all over my tunic. It rained all the next day and then we were relieved at seven o‘clock at night by the 3rd Battalion, lst Brigade. We marched back to rest billets, ;a muddy. hungry and tired comâ€" ipany. with our ranks sadly thin- ined ,and. believe me.

'For two winters the house had! been hard to heat: There was no apparent reason. The furnace Was large enough. The doors and win- dows were‘lined with ~Weather- stripping. The amount of coal burned had been adequate. Still the front parlor and the kitchen with the rooms dlirectl}; above those were never comfortable, and sometimes they were cold. One winter day the average tem- perature of four rooms was 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Built Under Guarantees I The house was new. It had been built under a series of guaran- tees. The firm which put in the furnace had .guaranteed its effici- ency. Therefore when the Owner ‘convinced himself that the ill1 !was not in the chimney, the stove-j 'nipes or the cellar, but in the 'furnace itself, he called on the| Firm. After a, long wait of some months and much telephoning the General Manager of the Furnace Company came and conducted a bedside clinic. He found nothing radically Wrong, but suggested ‘that the furnace should be turned around a quarter-circleâ€"so that the door would be in the most inâ€" ,convenient part of the cellar. .Be )Wzas sure that nothing was wrong. .but that this change would cure it. It would cost $6. Cost of the Remedy “But,” said the Owner, “You guaranteed the furnace to heat house.” air too drv “It is unponular,” said one writer. “because too frequent- lv' the furnace and the air ducts glare not prOperly installed.” This was going to be an interesting lafternoon! How should they be in- Estalled ‘? The first fact learned Was ;basic. fundamental. It reminded Tone of twice-two. not only because :of its. simplicity, but because of its solid surety. “It is necessary to have the amount of cold air going into the furnace, equal to the amount of hot air coming out. But 'if the cold air is conducted to the furnace from outside, scarcely as much will be needed, owing to the laws of expansion. All the Owner’s cold air came from the hall, from one register, not obtrusive. and not particularly large. There were; five hot air .‘pip‘es, four of '9inches: diameter, one of 8 inches. This looked promising. It remained to learn boy the flow of air was. calculated. Inasmuch as air is al- ways present in every pipe it was clear that the amount jof square- inches coming in and going out would stand comparison. What Was Needed Calling Mensuration to aid. The Owner discovered that a 9-nnch Th-en came the news. The Owner learned that hot air was, in theo- ry, the best way of heating a house, that it provided circulation. carried away mitiated air, and with proper attention did not make the THE GUARANTEED FURNACE i “Ah,” said the Expert, “but that was provided we were not interfered with. The Builder told us to stand the furnace this way We wanted to stand it the other Way: therefore we are not respon- sible.” was nothing wrong with the fur- nace. (2.\ It was in the wrong posi- tion. (3\ The change of position would correct what was wrong. (4\ The guarantee was no good. (En The cost would be $6. Consulting the Books The Owner, being filled with wrath. reviled the Furnace Man, who reviled again and went home huffy. Then as the Expert knew nothing about his own business. the Owner decided to make a few inquiries about heating in the Court of Universal Resort. the Reference Room of the Pulnic Li- brary. One afternoon’s reading had an illuminating effect. Archi- tects, scientists of high rank. and engineers had written books on Heating and Ventilation. had cal- culated the possibility of a pound of coal in the. production of a certain measure of Heat called a Thermal Unit, had measured the loss of heat for every square foot of glass in a room. It apâ€" peared plain that it Was possible to calculate exactly how much heat would be. required for a certain cubic space and how much? more would need to be supplied! to offset window loss. Then itl was known how many Thermal Units would be produced on a square foot of furnace grate, and so. the size of a furnace required for a house was a matter of simâ€" ple arithmetic. The Owner asked the Builder if that was a true statement of the case. \Vhat the Builder said is sup- pressed for the best of reasons.

There is no room for criticism of the men who manufacture furnac- es in Canada and who. cleaiiy. have a full and complete know- ledge of heating problems. The construction of the various styles of furnaces proves that. This story is rather intended to interest me. chanics who install furnaces and above all to interest the people who have those “thousands of furnaces” all guaranteed. and who cannot tell What is wrong with them. It may draw attention to the possibilities of technical edu- cation and technical reading; as rt”- lated to the common trades and pursuits of lifeâ€"J. E. Miiziletoi: ir The Toronto News. A Elijah Page, a Melancthon 131’- mer, lost two valuable homes from paris green poisoning. And yet, one common man vith' ordinary intelligence could fgml out more. in one afternoon than the-v had discovered in 18 years of business life, and could cure a condition before which they found themselves helpless.

Four pipes of that size, and one of 5-0 square inches made a total of 2.06 square. inches of hot air being taken off the furnace and distributed to the rooms. What about the Cold Air? Investigation pro‘Ved that the total amount of cold air reaching the furnace through the register was 172 square inches! Furtl er. ba-d tinsmithing enabled some cold air to be drawn through the joints of the pipe in the cellar, one reason why the cellar was usually warm and comfortable. It was plain that 134 square inches of cold air was needed.‘ The Owner decided that two 9â€"inch cold air pipes brought from front and rear rooms of the house should be in- stalled. and that each should have a register 10x13 inches. You see a register is half iron. therefore in calculating its canacity you halve the square contents of its face. As the Furnace Man said that all this calculation was foolish nonsense, and that there wzis enough cold air provided, it was apparent that the Owner must find another tinsmith and pay for the work. He did 50. During March and April of this year the new arrangement was in operation. All the house was warm. and warm all the. time! Practical, rule of thumb men said that the furnace needed to be turned around, and that no change in the cold air arrangements would make any difference in the temperature. The same. rule-of-thunh men said that they had installed thousands of furnaces in Toronto (1111 guaran- teed) and that they knew what they were talking about. S'r. JEAN m: MATHA, Jan. 27th, 1914.
