For a fireplace fire that gives
cheer and comfort in winter and
also burns wood most efficiently,
foresters of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture offer some sugges
tions. It is a mistake, they say,
for the excessively neat housewife
to keep all ashes cleaned from the
fireplace. The ashes should be kept
level with the andirons to provide
a bed for glowing charcoal which
will yield steady heat and help
ignite new logs as they are added
Before laying the fire, put one
log on the floor of the hearth
against Vie back wall and behind
the andirons. This backlog keeps
the draft from drawing the fire
directly into the masonry and
wasting heat.
Split wood kindles more easily
than whole round logs.
Softwoods from cone - Rearing
trees make a quicker and hotter
fire but also a shorter-lasting fire
thai hardwoods. The lighter hard- I
woods make a hotter and shorter
lasting fire than the heavier hard
woods. Woods that give the most
heat for their weight are: oak, hick
ory, sweet birch, hard maple, rock
elm, locust and longleaf pine.
A combination of hard and soil
wood, such as oak and pine to
gether, makes a successful fire.
Woods that throw off sparks arc
chestnut, butternut, tamarack and
spruce. These should burn only
behind a screen. Green wood is
poor in heat value because of the
moisture it contains. Anywhere
from 25 to more than 50 percent
of the weight of green wood is
water, depending on the variety.
The heat required to drive off this,
moisture is lost as far as warming
the room is concerned.
Dry seasoned wood kindles more
quickly and is easier to tend and
regulate than wet or green wood.
Drying wood for a short time
is better than not drying it at all.
To hasten drying, split the green
logs into small sticks. Another dis
advantage of green wood is that it I
leaves ,more creosote, soot and
other deposts in the chimney than
dry wood. Foresters say that If
green wood must be used, it should
be put on a hot fire.

ItOMF. Italians like Americans
but some Americans here are be
ginning to think that they like them
best in America.
"Maybe," said one American,,
"it's because of the occupation, af
ter all . . . "
"But why." said another holding
a recent issue of Rome's satirical
Cantachiaro, "cartoons like this?"
The cartoon showed a Jeep be
ing driven over Italians. It cul
minated a summer and winter
long: campaign by the Italian
press against Allied drivers, stinc
of whom nobody would deny it
are reckless.
But the press campaign stirred
Italian ire to the point where Al
lied drivers involved in accidents
were menaced and sometimes as
saulted. Jt waxed to the point
where Ccn. John C. II. Lee, chief
of American lories in the Medi
terranean theater, recently mildly
remonstrated and reminded that
not all the drivers of allied Ve
hicles were American or British.
A good many of I hem, he pointed
out . are Italians. This lias been es
pecially true since America's wind
up sale of Army surplus.
Since the occupation of Italy,
3,584 Italians have been killed
by Allied vehicles a fact recent
ly given wide publicity and pick
ed up by Moscow radio which
commented that it could not be
believed that "thousands of It
alians hurled themselves under
the wheels for the pleasure of
provoking the drivers."
Something else: Apartments are
something that hurts where Ital
ians think an American cannot be
hurt in the pocket book,
Americans have learned that
they must violate the law to get
living quarters and then risk be
ing tossed out by the Housing
commission after they have
paid a fat "buon uscita," a nice
word for bribery ranging now
to a million or more lire (more
than $4,000). Some Americans
have been tossed out among
them an I'NRRA worker and
others are threatened.
Italian law blocks rentals, but
an apartment for which Italians
pay 1,001) or so lire a month will
bring up to 100,000 lire a month in
the American apartmcnt-hunlcrs-market.
In Iloach Control,
Thoroughness Pays
The secret of thorough eradica
tion of the cockroach is thorough
application of the material used to
combat the pest.
The reason why cockroaches so
often appear soon after the appli
cation of an insecticide is that
some hiding place has been missed
in the treatment, says Dr. Clyde
F. Smith, Associate Professor of
Entomology with the N. C. Agri
cultural Experiment Station.
Reaching every crack and crevice
where the pest might lurk is par
ticularly important with DDT,
which is the recommended mate
rial for eradicating the cockroach,
because the pest is killed by com
ing into contact with the material.
He recommends the use of the
DDT in eilher the 5 or 100 dust
form, applied with a dust gun.
However, a cheesecloth bag of the
dust, which can be shaken against
the openings where the cockroach
might be hiding, has been found
effective as a means of applica
tion. Before the dust is applied, all
cooking utensils, dishes and food
should be well coverd so that none
of the dust could tail on tnem.
Any dishes that might be left un
protected should be washed
thoroughly before using.
If the first application has been
I borough, a second one will not
he needed for several months. Dr.
Smith says. However, should the
roaches appear sooner than that,
make a second application at once,
being sure the second time to in
clude more possible hiding places
of the pest.
POKAND HOPES TO TRII'LK
IMPORTS THIS YEAR
WARSAW (AP) Dr. Stefan
Jedrychowski, minister of naviga
tion and foreign trade, said Po
land's imports this year should
amount to $510,000,000, compared
with $130,000,000 in 194G.
Simultaneously, Jedrychowski
said, Poland hopes to step up her
exports from $120,000,000 in 1946
to $298,000,000 in 1947. He added
that he hoped the negative balance
of $212,000,000 would be covered
by foreign credits.
Jedrychowski said Poland for
several years probably would be
a far greater importer than, ex
porter because of the vast mate
rials and supplies needed for na
tional reconstruction.
For each loaded freight car
moved 100 miles in 1945, U. S.
railroads moved an empty car 49
miles. . .
