Aicaxo March 2s.-Peace rumors

weather in the domestic winter crop
belt was moro than counter balanced
by selling due to reports that Germany
had offered favorable terms to Russia
and that the German chancellor 5

also to handicap the bulls. Opening

Fat Is indispensable

The importance Of the supply OF
fat has been one Of the economic sur
prises Of the war. In Germany, notes
Dr.. c. L. Alsberg of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, the lack
Of available fats is quite as great q
hardship as the lack of grains, and
greater than the lack Of protein Of
animal origin. There the fat supply
is derived almost wholly from animal
sources.
In America the problem is not re-
lated 10 animal production, for a mum
Der Of available vegetable sources Of
fat-cotton seed, the peanut. and TO a
lesser extent corn-supply all fat re-
quired for home use and export 10
allies, and II necessary an increase in
the culture Of the soy bean could add
enormously TO the fat at small ex-
pense. While u is hard TO state just
what makes fat indispensable IL is
possible that a chief role is in making
palatable much food that could not
otherwise be substituted for meats

bulb with closed tube, however, the
melted tin is contained in graphite
bulb having an open tube. and read
ings are made by lowering into the
tube a plunger Of a metal with a high
melting point.
When the plunger touches the tin,
an electric circuit is closed, giving
a bell or other signal, the position
OF the plunger showing the tempers-
ture. This new form Of pyrometer
may be used IN either Of two ways
G) 10 give the temperature at any
time by sliding down the pointer until
the electric signal is set of. or (2)
20 announce when any predetermined
temperature is reached by setting the
pointer al the proper number of de-
grees on the scale. AS the melted tin,
like melted mercury, Is found 20 ex-
pand at a very even rate. the indica-
tions are held 20 be notably accurate.
