Description: This political cartoon depicts two couples. One man and one woman are writing; the other man is reading a newspaper, and the other woman is knitting. The woman writing says, "NATURE HAS TAKEN MILLIONS OF YEARS TO STORE UP A LOT OF VALUABLE MATERIALS IN COAL SUCH AS TAR, OILS, AMMONIA AND NAPTHALINE". The man writing says, "YES, THINK HOW CARELESSLY WE THROW THE RAW COAL CONTAINING THESE MATERIALS INTO THE FURNACE". The man reading the newspaper says, "LOOKING AT IT THAT WAY, IT IS CRIMINAL TO BURN RAW COAL AND MAKE THIS WASTE". The woman knitting says, "WELL, YOU SHOULD CO-OPERATE WITH THE WOMENS' CLUB CAMPAIGN AND BURN SMOKELESS FUEL!" View on Ohio Memory.
