Firemen are being taught that their work consists of something more than merely throwing in a lot of coal and If the fuel burns all Is well. In the first place, the coal U tested for heat units to determine whether the coal man la delivering" coal of burning quali ties as specified In the contract. Then the ashes are tested to determine whether the firemen are getting "every pound of steam" there Is In the coal. A member of the board, more or less conversant with coal and auch matters, observed that some of the firemen were shoveling out many pounds of half-burnt coal with ashes, which practice Is being stopped.

Crude Oil-Shortage Sends Gasoline Up, Says Omaha Dealer Although gasoline Is now selling tor about 60 per cent more than It did last summer, retail dealers In refined oils declare that a still higher price Is almost certain to prevail very soon. Prices now In Omaha are 14 to 12 cents per gallon, whereas early In the summer gasoline sold a low as 10 cents. "A raise In wholesale price of 1 rent a gallon has been made by the refineries j since the last Increase In the retail , price," declares L. V. Ntoholaa, "and that wholesale Increase must shortly be made up by the retailer. Within a few days at the latest gasoline prices will go up still further. C. It. Alleman, president of the Stand ard Oil company of Nebraska, a purely distributing company, also says that gasoline prices will probably increase again soon. "Shortage in crude oil, due to falling supply in some United States oil fields and the total cessation. of the oil trade with Mexioo and Russia, account for the high prices," ho says. Although prices In Omaha and Ne braska are now lower than In the east and even tn Texas and Oklahoma, where the crude oil Is produoed, they cannot remain so much longer, dealem assert No relief la In sight, they say, from the effects of the crude oil shortage.
