REMARKABLE ANOMALY.

A London banker-not temperance
man--is quoted by the Review of Re-
views as saying: "The drink question
has been just about the worst handled
of any of the domestic problems which
have confronted England since the out
break OF the war. The savings, direct
and indirect, from the putting through
OF Lloyd.Georges total prohibition
scheme last spring would have gone a
mighty long way towards paying the
cost OF the war. We have the remark
able anomaly OF people sacrificing
rivers of blood for their country, and
yet unwilling to give up the use OF a
beverage which not only wastes money
but lowers their industrial and mill
tary efficiency as well. It will
probably take another year or so OF
war to bring the country to its
senses"

FEW GET 70 SEE PRESIDENT
Comparatively Only a Small Number
Of People Ever Saw the Chief
Executive.

The aged bridgekeeper OF New
Hampshire. who saw president OF
the United States for the first time
when President Wilson stopped to pay
toll for crossing had an experience
more novel than II may seem. How
many people have ever been face to
face with one OF the country's chief
executives during his term OF Office?
Grant, Arthur, Cleveland and Roose-
welt were familiar figures" in the
general sense Of the phrase. but only
relatively small percentage OF the
population have seen a president.
Certainly many more Americans can
say they have seen president since
Roosevelt and Taft put the White
House on wheels, observes the st.
Louis PostDispatch. AS travelling
presidents they set new precedent.
But Notwithstanding the publicity
that attaches to the presidency, yet
1t is position Of comparative isola-
ton as respects contact with the peo-
pie. Probably many more persons
saw Lincoln during his debates with
Douglas than after he was inaugu.
rated as president.
Few people outside Of Virginia can
have been able to say that they have
seen Jefferson and Madison, and the
same conditions we're true for the
Adamses outside OF Massachusetts
Obviously the multiplication OF trav'
cling facilities and the disposition OF
presidents of this generation to util
ize them has made the occupant OF
the White House more generally Wis
ible to his countrymen. Even so. II
Is somewhat out Of the ordinary to
sec the president" and vast numbers
of Americans live and die without that
experience.

HUMAN-HAIR INDUSTRY DIES
Changing Styles Among American
Women Give Hard Blow to Once
Thriving Business in China.

Changes I'm styles of Embarrassing
among American women have been
largely responsible for practically put
ting out of commission one of China's
leading industries. Uncle Sans consul
general at HOngkong reports. Until
a few years ago large quantities of
human hair were imported from China
and used by American women. In
1910, 1t Is said, the imports of human
hair from China into the United States
were valued at more than million
dollars. Hair to the value of $685.. 1877
was imported direct and probably as
much more came into the country from
China by way of Europe AT that time
the product was among the chief items
of HOngkOng's export trade. A big
organization of collectors. workers and
brokers grew up and the business
seemed to be on a substantial basis.
Then gradually changing styles in
In the United States led
TO a falling off In the demand for the
better grade of hair. and with the ad-
vent of the war the demand In Europe
fell away. AS result many of the
factories in HongkOng in which the
hair was prepared for export have
been closed and the industry is about

NEW DEVICE WOULD GUARD
PORTS FROM SUBMARINES
Uncle Sam Investigating New Appa.
ratus Which Inventor Claims Would
Keep Submarines From Harbors.

uncle Sans experts are investigat-
Ing a new apparatus which the inven-
tor. Charles Williamson. claims will
prevent submarines from entering
United States ports undetected.
The apparatus consists of a steel
cOllapsible tube three to five feet in
diameter suspended i'm the water in
vertical position. 1t is open at the
top and extends only foot above the
water level. At the lower end of the
tube is steel box or room ten feet
square for observation. The tube and
observation room can be lowered
nearly any distance below the sur
face. 1t has been tried with success
500 feet down.
The observation room has glass in
the four upright walls and is equipped
with searchlights that can throw their
rays 200 feet through water. Sound
detecting devices to give warning of
the approach of a subsea vessel are
also part of the equipment.
The men in the observation room
would nave telephone communication
with the shore and the other observa-
ton rooms at the harbOr. When a
submarine Is located the mines be-
meath 1t could be exploded from the
observation room and torpedoes could
be fired ut 1t from the room under
water while the searchligl,ts keep it
in view.

SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE
Some Farmers Regard Plant as Weed
and Practically WorthIess-Im.
proves Tuth Of Soil.

The value Of sweet clover as q pas
ture or hay crop is much disputed.
Some farmers regard 1t as practically
worthless and consider 1t a weed.
while others apparently have had good
success with feeding it. Its foliage has
bitter taste due to the cumarin it
contains and its stems have a tenden-
cy to become woody as they mature.
If not allowed to become too rank be-
fore pasturing, or If cut for hay before
the first bloom buds appear, these two
Objectionable features may be avoided
to considerable extent and very good
feed obtained.
Since it Is a biennial. sweet clover
may take the place of red clover In the
rotation on those lands where the lat
ter does not thrive well. but ON the
best lands it cannot compete with eth
er red clover or alfalfa for hay.
1t is efficient as a soil renovatOr, by
reason of the large amount of nitro
gen 1t is able to take from the air as
well as the humus added to the soil
when 1t Is turned under or from the
decay Of roots when the crop Is har-
vested.

GASOLINE MADE FROM GAS
Great Growth OF New Industry in
United States Shown by Statistics
Prepared by Uncle Sam.

A new industry. that of manufacture
ing gasoline out of natural gas. and
known as the casing head gasoline in
dustry. grew rapidly In 1919. accord
ing to statistics compiled by Uncle
Sam.
The quantity of raw gasoline ex.
tracted from natural gas and sold in
that year amounted to 61.364. f,65 yal-
Ions. a gain of 22.712.O33 gallons. Or
o3 per cent. over the quantity market
ed In 1914. The average price re-
ceived for the unblended product at
the sources of production was 10
cents gallon. and the market value of
the entire output WAS $5.150.S23. n
gain Of 0.6 cent in average unit price
and of S2.O11914. or &C per cent. In

GOOD WAY TO MEASURE HAY
Four Hundred Cubic Feet Has Been
Found to Be Fair Estimate for
Ton-Weight Will Vary.

Sometimes hay Is sold in the NOW
or the stack. When this Is done II is
necessary to estimate 1t.
1t has been found that 400 cubic
feet of hay will be fair estimate for
ton. The actual weight of 400 cubic
feet of hay. of course, will vary, as will
the kind Of hay. time of cutting, posi-
ton Of the NOW, etc. But 1t will be
fair estimate to both buyer and SELL
er to consider 400 cubic feet q ton.
When you are making an estimate
multiply together the length. breadth
and height of the nov or stack in feet
and divide the product by 400. The
quotient VIII be the number of tons.

ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR HAY
Temporary Shelter May Be Obtained
by Placing Prepared Roofing
Materials on Poles.

When the rains make hay harvest
so unfavOrable. as was the case In 1918.
1t is important to provide suitable
roofs under which the hay may be
placed as rapidly as it can be cured
sufficiently. While the substantial barn
Is always first to receive consideration
1t frequently happens that more or less
additional storage is desirable.
In many cases this additional space
for hay may be provided at small ex-
pense by planting telegraph poles
suitable distances apart. connecting
these with plates made of plank and
on these plates placing roof materials.
Such structure may be built In short
order and at small expense. Farm
laborers may even do the building.
If more durable and larger struc-
ture is desirable there Is nothing SUI
periOr to the plank frame hay bar
