GIVES STRONG LIGHT
.iNcANpEscENT BELIEVED BEST
FOR LOCOMOTIVE.
Not Powerful Enough to Dazzle, But
Enables Engineer to SEQ Far
Down the Line He 10
Travelling.

The principal light sources now
available for locomotive head lamps
are Oil flames, acetylene gas flames,
incandescent electric lamps and cleo
trio arc lamps, says the Electrical
World. The light emitted by. any one
OF these, to be effective for head-lamp
service, must be concentrated into
beam. There are two principal meth
DDS of accomplishing this-one by the
use OF lens, the other by the use OF
parabolic reflector.
As 1t is practically impossible to
concentrate powerful oil or gas
flame into a small volume, these light
sources are eliminated where a strong
head lamp is required. The electric
arc is very powerful light source OF
small volume. Backed by the proper
reflector, 1t will produce an extremely
powerful, dazzling beam.
Many roads, especially the double
track lines equipped with block sig
nails, consider such a beam detrimen-
tai to the safe operation of trains,
owing to the temporary binding, Of
I the engineer of an approaching loco
motive, reflection from glass signal
lenses, fog, etc.
Between the flame head lamps and
the other extreme comes the incan-
descent. The present high efficiency
drawn wire tungsten can be formed
into lamp f1lament Of high candle
power occupying very small space.
With such light source backed by a
good parabolic reflector excellent
beams can be obtained of sufficient
intensity to enable an engineer to dis
tinguish man thousand or more
feet ahead of the locomotive, and hav-
ing spread enough to cover a double
track roadbed without throwing q pow
erful light onto the glass signals along
th9ides or over the roadbed.
SyAts by various railroads have
shSyin that man in white clothes
can be discerned about one and six
tenths times as far down the track
as one in gray, while the latter can
he seen one and three-tenths times as
far as a man in black.
The braking distance Of an express
train running 60 miles per hour is in
the neighborhood Of from 1900 feet to
1900 feet, depending upon various
road conditions. The incandescent
head lamp would show up Instructions
in sufficient time to allow the engineer
to reduce speed to such point that
the safety OF the passengers would be
assured.

SET OFF THE PEAcHY SKIN
Excellent Reason Why Black Velvet
Patches on the Skin Have Met
With Such Favor.

Black -elvet patches are more fay-
ored than are the older-fashioned
patches in court-plaster, because they
are 80 much more becoming to their
wearer. Their soft denseness makes
a sharp contrast on peachy skin
and In these days every fashionable
woman's cheek is peachy, either nat
urally or artificially. The black vel.
vet patches are round, diamond or
crescent shaped and 30 tiny that only
with the utmost difficulty are they
handled while being put on. But once
attached to the cheek, the chin or the
brow, they stick tightly for they are
mucilage.backed The true coquette
nearly always wears q black velvet
patch these days with her evening
gown and sometimes she places one OF
them upon her shoulders or her back,
depending on which Of these parts of
her anatomy is the most beautiful,

CLOTH AND SILK COATES
Little Garments Have Returned to
Favor In More AIlurins Forms
Than Ever Before.

Coatees are with US again and In q
far more alluring form than when they
first came out few seasons ago. Then
they extended below the waist line.
but nowadays they scarcely cover It
at back and sides and not at all at the
front. In fact, they are glorified ex-
pressions Of the demure Elton jacket,
made up in one of the new rough-sur-
faced fabrics Of a vivid shade like
sapphire blue, carmine red, or lizard
green, and lined with hand-embroid-
cred shot silk gauze, resembling bro
caded materials. Plaided and Roman
striped soft silk coatees are being
made up into adorable little garments
lined with a solid bright color. And
to go with these mere apologies for
wraps there are belt-vests broad
enough to extend well below the waist
line and far enough above it to give
an empire effect to the transparent
blouse worn beneath the jacket This
belt in plain-colored corded silk, is
severely tailored, appears to close in
front Qt actually hooks at the back)
with double row of tiny silk-covered
buttons, and at either side has a small
lapeled watch pocket.
Both the cloth and the silk coatees
are worn with white serge frocks at
the southern resorts, while those in
plaided or striped pattern are also In
tended for use with black satin house
skirts.

called involuntary evidence.

The question as to whether things q
man says In his sleep may be used
against him was involved in Martinez
VS.. People, 1872 Pacific Reporter, where
the defendant was charged with the
murder of woman. One of the peo-
pies witnesses, testified that a few
days after the killing he slept In
bunkhouse with defendant, and that
about half past one In the morning he
heard him exclaim: IT shot her!
shot herl shot her! I had to do It
tovrave myself from the pen;" and
tneHhe thought defendant was asleep,
but did not know. The supreme court
OF Colorado holds that 1t is only the
voluntary statements Of party that
may be used against him, and one is
not responsible for what he says In
his sleep because he is unconscious
and It "a not voluntary, and that

Farmers Clubs.
Perhaps no one line of work has
been as valuable in bringing about, or
at least has gone so far in introducing
better methods OF farming, and in
showing the value Of greater social
intercourse, than the Farmers Clubs.
These organizations are beginning to
lead the people into the belief that
North Dakota is really place At to
live in, and is getting the people into
the idea that they are going to mako
their farms into permanent homes.
Boys Contest Work.
| This has been carried on in order to
stimulate a greater interest in farming
among the farm boys. The contest
work has brought US into personal con-
tact with about three hundred farm
boys. These contests are carried on
with the idea of giving the boys direct
Interest in some little farm enterprise,
such as the raising Of an acre Of corn,
patch Of potatoes, or the raising OF
litter of hogs, making it understood
from the outset that whatever enter
prise the boy goes into, that the en-
terprise shall be his, not only from the
standpoint of doing all the work, but
also from a financial standpoint. The
desired results have been obtained ir
a great many eases and as result o.

This work, consistent with results

Field Demonstration Work-It is ap-
parent that the easiest way to test
truth is by demonstration. This can
be observed as the result of our de.
monstration fields in alfalfa, corn and
crop rotation. A great many farmers
in the neighborhoed Of these demon.
strations have taken up these very
lines of work which heretofore had
not been thought Of very seriously,
nor had been given very much atten.
tion, and made success Of them.
While the actual number Of acres
comprising our total number Of de-
monstration fields in alfalfa are 766,
Barnes County has today over 1000
acres Of alfalfa.
The corn work has resulted in a
much more general adoption Of the
practice Of selecting home grown seed
corn and curing 1t properly. In the
fall Of 1912 there were approximately
five Or six hundred bushels of seed
corn selected. In the fall of 1913
there were about three thousand bush.
, els selected. This has resulted in the
fact that farmers as general thing
will have mature corn. Every farmer
who selected seed corn last year 1,
unanimous in the opinion that it is CIV
ing him much better results, both in
stand and quantity Of corn, as compar
ed to imported seed.
