DANGEROUS RacIIII In pust.

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis speaks Of
the dangers from house dust, espe-
cially in rooms that are not well ven
tilated. The association warns against
dry sweeping and against the use of
the feather buster. or other devices
that scatter, but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with diseases germs, the National AS
sociation urges the adoption of meth
DDS that will prevent the further dis
semination of such bacilli. 1t also
urges for the coming months of fall
and winter, more open windows and
more fresh air in house. shop and
schoolroom.

MOTOR PUTS WIND TO WORK
EnclIshmap Finds Power for General
Ing Electricity That May Prove
Substitute for Coal.

Wind power for generating cleo
tricity has arrived on the other side
OF the ocean, an English inventor get
ting ahead Of our boasted Yankee In
genuity and finding power that may
prove substitute for coal and gaso-
line in many instances. The wind
motor promises to become CONNER.
cial. everyday fact much quicker than
the sun motor upon which many
American and other inventors have
expended 80 many hours, months. and
years In an effort to make 1t practical.
]. G. Childs is the name Of the
Englishman, and he Is constructing
his giant wind motor for generating
electricity upon farm at Willesden
Green, not far from London. He ex-
poets to have 1t in operation in q
short time.
Mr.. Childs' wind motor is like q gi-
gantic windmill in appearance, and it
works partly on the same principle as
the thousands of windmills we see
on the farms Of the United States.
But 1t is little different.
The tower Is 100 feet high, and the
wheel is only 4S feet in diameter. The
average person would Immediately
jump to the conclusion that a wind
mill OF that size would tear things
to pieces in an ordinary heavy wind.
Mr.. Childs has met this difficulty by
novel device.
He has evolved method Of au-
tomato control so that the wheel is
kept facing the wind as long as the
wind is kind and gentle and doesn't
attempt any rough play. The mo
ment, however, the wind gets strenu-
GUS the automatic governor promptly
turns the wheel quarter round, so
that the wind strikes it on the ends
instead of in the face, great deal
less resistance being offered.
The mill Is so constructed that II
will run In an extremely light wind
and specially built dynamo will
generate electricity while running at
a. low speed All of the heavy work
on the farm will be performed by the
electricity generated by the wind
power. and in addition 300 lights will
be kept going.
Mr.. Childs estimates that the cost
of the electricity thus furnished, al
lowing literally for wear and tear
will be one cent unit.

Naughty. but Nice.

Edith, who is eight years old, was
invited to a children's party. Her
blonde hair was perfectly straight, but
becomingly arranged, and she started
off In high feather.
But on her return she was rather
silent, and, on being questioned as to
her experience, said:
IT had a nice time, but 1t would
have been nicer If my hair was kinky,
All the other girls hair was kinky,
and / shan't go to another party I'M
less my hair is fixed In kinks
So the next week, when another In
vitation came for the little girl, her
hair was curled and fluffed out in the
most approved style.
Then her mother led her to mir
ror, and said: There, Edith, what do
you think of it?"
Edith regarded herself soberly for
moment, and then, turning slow
ly around, she said: TITS vain, but /
like it."

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mixes

Mrs. Jim Challis had been standing
