They may be even scarcer. The reason is familiar enough its the war. There are fewer men mining coal, or making coke, or cutting wood. On the other hand, industrial uses of all fuels and particularly soft coal, have doubled and trebled. Transportation difficulties further complicate a bad situation. Overburdened railroads cannot haul the usual volume of fuel, and war plants get the first chance at what does come to market. It is estimated that we will be short 38 million tons of coal this winter. Wood will be extremely scarce. So will coke, charcoal and of these prigas all mary fuels. While the production of crude oil will be 15 per cent higher than last year, very little of it can be spared for heating. Most of it will have to go to the gasoline refineries. Nevertheless, nobody needs to be cold. There will be enough fuel to keep everyone warm, if it is intelligently used. This means that all leaks that cause loss of heat will have to be closed. The best possible combustion methods must be used to get every possible heat unit out of the fuel. One way to spread the available coal and wood on an equitable basis among the 45 million families of the nation would be to ration these fuels. This has already been done with oil. But the government believes it can avoid this step. As an alternative, a fuel conservation campaign is being launched by the War Production board, the Solid Fuel administrator, the Office of War Information, and other agencies. Booklets, advertisements, feature articles and radio programs will be employed to instruct householders in ways to get the most out of their coal, wood or oil. Expert Advice. The heating industry, which includes 35,000 dealers and jobbers and many thousands of manufacturers, is volunteering its help. Drawing on their years of experience with heating problems, many manufacturers have prepared booklets on fuel saving. The War Production board recently anounced that raw materials are being made available for the production of automatic temperature controls thermostats and similar devices on the basis that the fuel saved will more than compensate for the small amounts of steel and other materials necessary to make the instruments. The automatic controls will make possible fuel savings of 15 per cent on the average, the government agency said.

Many people prefer to keep the bedroom windows closed at night and close off the heat supply. This really conserves fuel and after all, if the windows are opened for a few minutes before retiring there will be a sufficient fresh air supply with normal infiltration to last throughout the night. If bedroom windows are left open all night, doors should be closed and the space under the doors sealed. The cold air passing under doors will cool the rest of the house and require the use of more fuel. A felt strip which can be attached to bottom and sides of doors can be purchased in most hardware stores. Turn off all rdiators and close warm air registers. Keep shades, Venetian blinds and drapes drawn at night and as much as possible during the day. Warm room air chills quickly when it comes in contact with colder window surfaces. Maintain as low a temperature as consistent with health. Uncle Sam figures that you will have to keep your house at 65 degrees, under average conditions, if you are going to have enough fuel to last all winter. Tests show that each degree the temperature is raised above 65 degrees results in a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption. If you heat your home with stoves you can still apply most of this advice with benefit. A house will save a great deal of heat. And by keeping the house a little less warm than you are accustomed to, you can stretch out your fuel considerably.
