BIG GAIN IN POTASH OUTPUT
Production During the Calendar Year
1916 Reached Value Ten Times
as Great as in 1915.

A remarkable expansion in the Amer
lean potash industry has resulted from
efforts TO make the United States inde-
pendent of foreign sources for the pot
ash used in munitions and for other
purposes, and although the boom did
not get under way until late in 1916,
production during the calendar year
reached Il value ten times as great as
that of 1918.
The 1916 production is estimated, in
Il preliminary report published by
Uncle Sam at 10000 tons, worth S3,500,-
600. In 1917, the report says, with the
boom in full swing, a much greater
total will be shown.
The largest output" the report says,
"haS come from the Nebraska alkali
lakes, but the natural saline deposits
elsewhere are now just beginning to
make important contributions. A great
deal Of publicity has attended the eff
forts to obtain potash from kelp, but a
similar organic source of high-grade
potash has been quietly developed,
which has proved more productive"

Doctor Putnam seems to be more in
terested in the library as an institution
serviceable to the whole country than
in the library as literary treasure
house. He showed the reporter files
of letters from all parts of the country,
requests for the loan Of books sent by
scholars through their local libraries.
And he explained in detail the service
rendered by the library of congress in
sending out lists of authorities and
answering questions through the mail.
'"This has developed" he said, "into
very significant part of the library's
work. The library issues numerous

GREAT SAVINGS SHOWN
Patents Issued in Year Remark
able in Number and Character.
Among Inventions Reported Are Sew
eraI Greatly Decreasing Coal Con-
sumption in Power Plants.

Invention in this country reached
high-tide during the calendar year
1916. FOrty-two thousand separate
patents were issued To inventors by
Uncle sam. 1t is not the number of
patents issued, however, that is worthy
of note, but the character of the in.
ventionS. The patent office deals with
all the efforts of the world in every
field of industry 10 advance the useful
arts. Great interests are involved, not
merely of private, but of public con-
Germ in the discoveries that are listed
with the patent office.
As an illustration of what the dis,
cOveries of the u months mean, refer.
ence may be made to the fact that one
concern in Chicago reports that it has
effected reduction in coal conSump-
tion from nearly seven pounds kilO-
watt hour to - pounds Il kilowutt
hour, as II result Of Il new invention.
A New York rapid transit company
introduced improvements in the year
which, according to the patent office,
have caused Il drop in coal consump-
| tiOn from 215 pounds kilOwatt hour
TO ] y pounds kilOwatt hour.
An electric plant, through some new
invention, it has shown, is now able TO
generate electricity from coal more
Cheaply than can be done from the wa
ters of Niagara falls. These great
economies are due in large measure to
new Inventions relating TO automatic
StOkerS and regulators attached to
furnace construction, to forced draft
and to cOal-handllng machinery.
The year brought new and valuable
inventions that had to do with wire
less telegraphy, telephony, the control
of tOrpedOes, searchlightS and gun
pointing, vacuum cleaning, N-ray APP
paratus, liquefaction of air to produce
oxygen and nitrogen for commercial
use, flying machines, the moving pic
ture and mercury vapor lamps.
For a period of some five years an
industrial fellowship maintained by
trained scientists have devoted their
time to the study of methods of bread
making, with the object of producing
better bread. In the last calendar
year, certain Of the processes devel-
Oped through this study We're patented
and put into operation.
Better nOurishment of the yeast has
reduced the amount required in rails
ing the bread and maturing the dough,
with the consequent leSsening of the
amount Of flour and sugar used up by
the yeast and converted into carbon
dioXide and alcohol. The savings of
these and other economies to those EN-
plOying the novel processes patented
during the year are estimated to
amount to more than $1,000,000 year.
This estimate is based on the present
high scale of prices, but on any scale
of prices would, it IS asserted, be enor-
nous.
The patents in the electrical field
during the year were numerous. In
the field of farming implements there
came the improved tractor engines,
better apparatus for digging, irriga-
tiOn and drainage canals, improved
beet harveSterS. etc.

Again to Aid Uncle Sam.

The solution of the paradox.
, "Whcn is an American not an
, American" has just been discov
cred by BennO Weller, born III
Nebraska, and more recently en-
gagged as a farmer in Canada.
Weller went to Canada some
years ago and, in order to obtain
patent on a farm there, became
a naturalized citizen of Great
, Britain. A few weeks ago he re-
, turned to this country and tried
to enlist in the United States
Marine corps but was rejected
as an alien. The secretary of la
bOr was appealed to and decided
that Weller would be required to
go through the same procedure
as Il foreigner in order to again
, become a citizen of the United
States, which he did and then
was enlisted.
Weller said he would not
change nationalities for farm.

Sent to Local Libraries.

"The system on which books are
sent out to borrowers is as follows: If
Il man engaged in serious research
needs a book which his own local Ii
brary lacks, which it cannot naturally
be expected to have, he may ask his
local library to get it for him from the
library of congress. This will be done,
and his only expense will be the cost
of the transportation Of the volume.
The loan rests on the theory of a
special service to scholarship which it
is not within the power or the duty of
the local library to render. Its pur-
pose is to aid research calculated to
advance the boundaries of knowledge,
by the loan of unusual books not read
lily accessible elsewhere.
"TherefOre, books that should be in
a local library or that can be borrowed
from a library having Il particular duty
to the community from which the appli-
cation comes Ca state library, for eX-
ampIe), are not lent by the library of
congress. Neither are books that are
inexpensive and can easily be pro-
cured, nor textbooks, nor books for the
general reader, nor to be used for
recreation or Self-culture. But unusual
books to satisfy unusual needS-theSe
the library of congress is glad to lend.
'And we find that people all over the
country are eager to take advantage of
this service. We are constantly send
ing out books 20 borrowers sometimes

1914, we sent out 2,030 volumes. Dur
ing the year ended June 30, 1918, we

UNCLE SAM LOANS
BOOKS TO PEOPLE
Makes It Possible for Anyone to
Make Use of Great Congress
SionaI Library.
PURPOSE TO AID RESEARCH
Object Is to Make Unusual Volumes
Which Cannot Be Obtained Else
where Available to Students
Everywhere.

Comparatively few persons know
that they can take advantage of the
great congressional library maintained
by Uncle Sam at Washington without
going to the national capital.
There are thousands of people all
over the country who constantly make
use of the library of congress and yet
have never been within gunshOt Of the
District of Columbia. The important
and yet littlC-known branch of the uc-
tivitieS of the library of congress which
makes this possible was explained by
Herbert Putnam, the librarian of con.
gress.
The library of the British Museum,
he said, ''iS purely a reference library
1t is Il magnificent collection, but ii is
of use only To those who can so to
London To consult it. The library of
congress is. of course. used as ref
erence library by thousands of people
every year. But il is also Il lending
library, and therefore it renders to the
American citizen Il service which the
British Museum library does not rem
der to the British citizen.
"ThiS is work in which the library
Of congress is following the lead of
some of the great libraries of Europe,
especially of those of Germany. The
great libraries of the continent have
been surprisingly generous in lending
to scholars throughout Europe, includ-
ing American scholars sOjOurning
there. They lend even manuscripts
quite freely. They require, of course,
that the borrower shall be an accred-
tied person, but if he be accredited
they will lend to him, no matter how
great may be the distance between hiI.l
and the library, books and manuscripts
of rarity and value.
''Of course, there is much to be said
for the purely reference library. Some
of our materal-Such as the valuable
documents placed here by their own
ers for safe keeping--is used only for
reference purposes Sometimes tran
scripts of it are sent out

of trade, in the pulpit and in mill
tary camps and among shipmates
afoat. The eradication of the evil
effects must be thorough, but the
teacher who will be heard and needed
when the teachings of all others will
fall on deaf ears is the word of au-
thority from the medical profession.
Young men expect ministers of the
gospel to call them to clean living.
The preacher seeks to save their souls,
and too many youths hardly realize
they have a soul. But they know they
have bodies and the doctor is the
man to whom they trust the treat
ment of their bodies. When he
breaches confluence as the only rule
Of life to young men and points out
the dire penalty for lapses, his words
have a weight no other admonition
possesses.
Confluence is no longer matter
of morals only, though it must be
enforced as the cardinal doctrine of
morals. 1t has come to be seen as
having its base in the great law of
nature. New truths must take the
place of ancient lies. We know now
by the testimony of science that there
is no foundation for a double stand
ard for the sexes. To preach it is to
preach immortality and a lowering of
manhood The lie that has lived so
long must be driven out by the truth.
To-day as never before American
manhood must be clean. America
stands in need of every ounce of |
strength. We must cut out the can
,er if we would live"
