administrator for North Dakota, in &
statement given to the, press today
urges that Ignite be burned when
ever possible.
The labor situation at the head Of

supply and reasonably free transpor-

Mr.. Baker said. North Dakota con-
sumers should make the best use OF
Ignite in the emergency"
Shortage Not Likely
Fargo coal dealers do not believe
that a serious coal shortage is likely
in Fargo this winter. basing their
belief upon the fact that great quan-
titles of coal and coke have been
placed in bins of houeholders during
the late summer and fall.
Householders, they say, are buy
ing in larger quantities than ever
before, and the majority who have
storage facilities have laid in sup
plies which will last through the
winter.
The dealers say that while hard
coal for stove use is now coming
through slowly, there is promise
that the situation will improve suf-
ficieRtly to permit those who must
burn hard coal to be supplied.

WOMEN STUDY
 TO QUALIFY
 AS ENGINEERS
They Expect to be En- pIoyed in Power Plants and Central Stat
 tiOnS at Front

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.- Enrolment of women in engineering departments of American universities and colleges, reflects the changing demand for women in industry. At the Kansas State Agricultural college there are 150 women studying to become electrical engineers. Clar- ence Reid, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Kansas Agricul- tural College says:
 "Women are being employed as power plant operators in the large central stations of Europe, and have been found entirely satisfactory. None of the machinery in these sta tions is operated by hand, but is all controlled by various forms of electric motors, set into operation by the touch of button or by electri- cal magnets or air pressure, or con- trolled in some manner so that phy- sical strength is not at all necessary.

PRETTY YANKEE LED TO UNDOING
 OF SPOREMANN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. = The love of Walter Speremann, alleged German agent, for a pretty, talent ed girl musician, in local hotel, led to his arrest in the Hampton Roads naval district.
 That girl--May Stoops, who says she is American through and through-said today she had warned Sporemann against working around army camps because, as he was . German, it might be dangerous for him. Letters which Sporemann sent the girl were stopped in transit and inspected by prying eyes of govern ment officials. In this way they kept trace of him. arrested him near Newport News. Va, and now have him safely in custody in Bal timore.
 Government evidence shows Sporc. mann was probably addicted to the drug habit. Search of his effecta showed several drugs and hypo- dermic in his trunk, along with damaging documents, indicating an alliance with his fatherland.

fluid to help the world. One day Lister knelt before Queen Victoria, and heard these words, "Rise up, Sir Knight" Returning from ac- tive life he sought solitude in little hamlet, and when his noble mind lay down its cherished work the people of England asked that his dust might sleep in Westmin- ster Abbey-among those whose bod ies lie in peace and their names live forever. Today there are mil lions who do not know the name of Lister whose health has been made possible and whose years will be prolonged by the discovery of antisep- tic surgery.
 Another gift to the human race is anesthesia through ether and chlor- oform. Pain weakens the body and lessens it's force of resistance. A minor operation will rack the pa- tients' nerves and prove fatal. But major operations must be performed that life may be spared, and mans usefulness continued. The subject came to the attention of young man by the name of Morton. In his profession of dentistry he was mortified at the torture incident to diseased nerves. He felt ether would quiet the pain that the necessary operation could be performed. He took ether then himself, as none of his assistants would offer to risk their lives, and remain unconscious for eight and one-half minutes. On returning to consciousness he notices that sensation began to return first at the extremities of the body and moved inwardly. One day a lawyer came to him and said that the sailors would give their ships. the merchants would give their stores. the farmers would give their farms to him if he would save their loved ones from suffering, but Morton ans wered that his gift was from God, not to make money but to save and serve men. Today we lose a decayed tooth. splintered bone. or a troublesome appendix with thanks to pr. Morton.
