Keeper of Cats
Is Shorn of Job
Budget for Meat
No Longer Sufficient
MEXICO CITY. Dec. 24.—<U.P>
—The news that they are going to
repair the floors in the capital's
postoffice building struck a sad
note in the heart of Carlos Her-
rera Ramos—keeper of the cats.
For many years Carlas has been
in charge of an army of feline
beauties who were listed on the
postofflce budget as "guardians" and
divided five pesos worth of meat
daily. t
Theirs was the job of running !
down the hordes of rats and mice !
that sifted through the ancient i
floors into the mail rooms.
When Carlos was put in charge
of his "army” it was decided cats
were cheaper than new floors.
Something had to be done to com-
bat the serious menace to letters
and packages.
The furry guardians were dis-
persed systematically through the
air-mail room, parcel past, regis-
tered letters and money order de-
partments — where hungry rata
might do the most damage.
The cats have done their job
well. Postmaster Luis Gonzales
Marin admitted that in his diree

* the advice of Dr. Harland W. Nel-
son. assistant professor of fuel
technology at Pennsylvania State,
college.
He warns against too vigorous
use of the poker. Shake grates no
more than necessary in the morn-
ing and evening, and stop when
the first red coals fall into the ash
pit.
, When adding fresh fuel to the
fire, he suggests that the red coals
be pushed In a heap to one side
j ior the front i and the coal placed j
in the depression left on the other j
side ior the bncki. This will leave:
a "hot spot” of red coals to lg- |
nite the unburned gases released '
from the coal after firing.
"Remember that humidity Is as
important to com tort as tempera-
ture.” he said. "A room at 68 de-
grees Fahrenheit with the air hu-
midified can be more comfortable
than the same room at 80 degrees
Fahrenheit with no moisture add-
ed to the air. Keep water In the
humidifier of a hot air furnace and
place containers of water along-
side radiators.”
Keeping the heating plant clean
and in good repair is Important
Dr, Nelson pointed out. Including
the chimney and the furnace pipes
leading to It. Weatherstripping
windows and doors to keep out
cold air also saves fuel.
When buying coal it is Important
to remember that mixed sizes are
more difficult to burn than sized
coals, Dr. Nelson says.
He refuted the general assump-
tion that a thin fuel bed saves
coal, and advised that the top of
the fuel bed be kept up to a level
with the bottom of the firing door
The air passing through the bed
must be controlled, he said, any
