Edna St. Vincent Millay To Appear On Lecture Course The brilliant woman poet who will read her poems at the college chapel Oll the evening of December 13, is a strong argument for the contention that literary ability is inherent in certain families for Edna St. Vincent Millay comes from a distinguished family. Her nlother was a writer of delightful children's verse; her sister, Kath- leen, writes lyrics of great beauty and were it not for the fact that her ability is overshadowed by the even greater genius of Edna St. Vincent Millay, would have been the one to make the name, Millay, familiar to readers of poetry. There is a third sister, Norma, who is an actress and not a poet, ,but whose stage work shows that she also shares the sensitiveness to beauty which distinguishes her poet sisters.

Why B Automatically-fed coal burners, unlike the janitor or the man of the house, are on the job all of the time to add coal when temperatures drop, or to bank the fire when the house is warm enough. Getting more heat from a smaller amount of coal is one of the most im- portant benefits. It has been determined by survey that where stokers are used there is an average reduction in coal tonnage of 23', and that there is an average reduction in fuel costs of 39' compared with hand firing. The superiority of a stoker over hand firing is all due to the way a stoker feeds the coal to the fire. Instead of throwing raw coal on top of a fire and smothering it, the stoker feeds the coal from underneath, forcing it up through a circular retort, and warming it at the same time. By the time the coal reaches the combustion point it has traveled up through a pre-heating area where the carbon gases are released. These gases are forced up through the flames, to be consumed, instead of escaping as smoke or soot. Us About New Prices Q Mount Vernon, Iowa
