START AUTOS BY WIRELESS
Waves Are Sent Out From Station
Five Miles Distant to the Indiana
State Fair Grounds.

It has been demonstrated that
an automobile can be started by

Indiana state fair, where the engine
of an auto was started every 55 mis-
utes by wireless waves sent out from
a station in Indianapolis, five miles
away.
An auto on exhibition lat the fail
grounds was equipped with receiving
apparatus and necessary relays and
automatic switches for throwing on
and off the electric current of the
self-starter and magnetic. An auto
matte switch was provided to allow
the car to run for As seconds, after

GUM PICKING AS BUSINESS
High Prices, Resulting From shor,
Supply Brings Workers In the
Woods Big Profit.

Up in the Maine woods is where
the professional gum pickers thrive.
The consumption has grown SO fast
and the supply is getting so short
that half an ounce of second-rate
gum sells for 10 cents. The Who'll,
sale price paid by manufacturing
concerns is 81 to $3.50 a pound, ac-
eording to quality, and a busy picker
and faster can make about So day.
Most of the gum is picked in
March. The gum picker wears steel
climbing spurs on his boots and in
his belt he carries a light Ratchet,
while strapped to his waist is a bag
with wide mouth. Climbing a tree
he proceeds from limb to limb, chip
ping off the Jumps of gum as he finds
them, until he reaches the top. Most
Of the gum is caught in the wide
open bag, while all that goes to the
ground stands out In such relief on
the snow that it is picked up easily
Sometimes gum pickers travel il
partiei of three or four, and Otter

BRAVE MEN WORTH WHILE
Face Perlis Of War Without a Whln,.
per, Smile When They Suffer, Says
". A. D. Nurse.

''While there is none of the ro-
nance that the magazine writers and
story spinners have woven around
our work, yet life is not half so drab
as it was in the days Of my proba-
tionship in the old hospital" writes
9 nurse who before going overseas
served for two years in one of the big
Canadian city hospitals.
"Sister R, who has charge of
the next ward, told us a touching
story that has all the elements of
tragedy and romance in it. She saya
that a young soldier in her ward suf-
fered torture from a gaping wound
in his side and yet never whimpered.
He was always CHEEKY. One day the
sister said to him, DO you ever have
q good cry all to yourself when you
are alone?' 'Eh, no. he said,
'what'd be the use? You must keep
smiling. And then his face sudden
ly altered as he said:
"'Oh, but did cry once. I'll tell
you when. l got letter from my
old dad telling me to come home as
soon as l could, as there was an old
man who could still do days work
and who would never let me want for
anything as long as lived. l cried
then
"These are the little things that
happen now and then and set you
thinking. When l go off duty l am
going to see that boy. He is worth
while"

The editor Of coal magazine in
the American Magazine tells how tc
use your coal. He says:
ga house furnace works best when
. lot Of coal is burning slowly in it.
''To illustrate; | have a seven.
room house. In it is a'furnace with
a fire pot that is but 10 inches across
and about IL inches deep. II should
be "a or rs inches across, and Is to
go inches deep. Because that fur
mace is too small | have to shovel
coal four to six times a day. Twice
a day is enough. To have installed
the larger furnace when the house
was built would have cost but $50
more. IL costs me 500 a year more
than necessary to run the small one.
That is the difference between burn
ing a little coal fast and burning a
lot of it slowly.
"In my furnace the hot water is
carried away from my boiler by inch
and-a-half pipes. They should have
been two and half inches. Far less
effort is required to force water
through a big pipe than a little
one. When small pipes are used an
unnecessary amount of the power in
the coal is used to force the water
through small pipes. That is, the
heat is used up in the basement in
pumping water through the pipes in
stead of being used in the living
rooms to give heat"
