William +. Curtis, late staff cor
respondent of the Chicago Record
Herald. was a man of travel as well
as letters. He was not what would
be termed a brilliant writer. but he
had faculty OF developing facts and
making them interesting. He discov-
cred the fine points of geography, his
tory. custom and practice and his
daily communication from whatever
place On the globe he might be and

a fixture He will be missed from
the busy world in which he played 4

GET CHICKS BY ELECTRICITY
sixty-Nine Out Of Setting Of Seventy
Three Hatched by New incubator
In Washington.

Spokane, Wash.-Sixty-nine healthy
chicks from a setting of 73 eggs have
just been Matched by electricity on
j. Don Alexander's ranch at Hsit-
meier's station, Wash, near Spokane.
The initial test was SO successful that
1900 eggs will be placed In the incu-
bators as soon as the apparatus can
be installed. The equipment, which is
not patented. cen be attached to an
ordinary oil-burning incubator at an
expense OF less than a dollar.
Construction Of the electrically op-
Grated incubator Is simple. Mr.. Alex
ander took the lamps from the oil
burning machines and wound German
silver wire around the a es above
the egg trays, connecting the coils with
an in%candescent light circuit. This IL
made through a contact device, consist
ing Of a piece of iron fixed on the reg
ulator arm to dip into a small cup filled
with mercury.
When the temperature in the incu-
bator rises to 103 degrees. the natural
Matching point. the iron arm is lifted
automatically, shutting off the current
until there is a fall of o~ne-fourth de-
gree. a precaution against overhead
ing in the event of the failure Of the
controlling device, a piece Of under
writer's fuse is placed in the circuit
at the hottest part Of the machine,
thus shutting of the current at 1856 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
THE chicks we Matched in testing
the machine the first time are of nor
NAL size and unusually lively" Mr..
Alexander said, adding: "Of course,
l did not strike 1t the first time. | ex-
perimented several months with small
settings before reaching what is said
by poultry experts to be perfect incu-

ROLLER SKATING IS TARGET
Britons Who Want Sport Checked
Aim Part Of Shots at Home
Secretary Churchill.

london. An agitation OF first rate
proportions is arising In London in
connection with roller skating on
Sidewalks and streets. All the
borough councils are taking UP the
subject and Home Secretary Churchill,
who refused to permit a bylaw against
the practice, seems likely to get into
hot water. G. A. Touche, M. p, who
is directing the campaign against
skating, publishes q scathing letter
attacking Mr.. Churchill.
"How many people does the home
secretary intend to allow to be slain
before he acts?" asks Mr.. Touche.
MANY of the sidewalks and streets
of London are almost unusable except
when the children are al school. Let
tiers Of complaint are reaching me
from hundreds of persons. many Of
whom have been injured. The mother
Of an eSst end clergyman writes:
Tuesday l received a fearful blow on
the back OF the head from a boy OF
fourteen going at a great rate on
roller skates. with both arms extend
ed and fists clinches.' Another wom-
an says: I have been knocked down
three times within a week close to my
own doorway
Every resident Of Holloway Is pre-
pared to march to the house Of COM
o and compel Mr.. Churchill to
use some sense In this matter. The
residents of Limehouse claim that
they are terribly annoyed by street
skating all day and a considerable
part of the night. The row is espe-
cially great about IL o'clock in the
evening. when there is one continual
hubbub of skaters screaming at the
tops of their voices"
From Brixton a oma of fashion
writes to Mr.. Churchill: You say
that the skating nuisance is exag-
gerated. invite you to pass the eve
ming in my parlor and guarantee to
treat you like a gentleman. If you
go away declaring that street skating
is no nuisance l will withdraw my
complaint. though l shall have to ad-
NIT that you are a fit subject for q
lunatic asylum"
Many persons with illness In their
homes are belaboring Mr.. Churchill,
who, unless he yields, Is expected to
become the most unpopular man in
London.
