They're Teaching ’Em Young in Nippon
V
Wearing cardboard shrapnel helmets and carrying toy guns, these Japanese children are being instructed
in the rudiments of warfare as part of their childish play. When the real thing comes along and they are
old enough to bear arms for their emperor, they won’t be altogether raw material.

Poking Fire Bed From Above
Forms Clinkers, Smothers
Fire, Wastes Fuel
l \7 HILE a poker frequently is
' * a handy implement to use on
a furnace, let me caution you
against using it for the purpose of
agitating the fire-bed from above!
That results in a lot of trouble for
you and for your furnace.
Stirring the fire through the fur
nace door opening only mixes
ashes with the live coals, creat
ing clinkers. As you know, clink
ers choke a fire and prevent the
coal from burning freely and com
pletely. Also, they clog the grates,
making it difficult to shake the
fire properly.
Owing to the odd size and shape
of lumps of coal at the point that
is poked from above, the fuel-bed
becomes packed, and this pack
ing prevents the free passage of
air, thus forming clinkers. Clink
ers formed this way, however,
cause less trouble, for ordinarily
they can be broken up and
dropped into the ashpit by gently
shaking the grates.
