 surprising scientific deTeie&ments are
 only awaiting the end of the war to
 be brought into general use. Some
 of these are, of course being made use
 of for military purposes, and this de-
 bars any description being given, or
 general use at present. Possibly enc
 of the greatest deyeiop4epts will be in the direction of electric lighting
 The use of metal dlamept lamps has increased the amount of light to be obtained from a certain current cen- sumption in a way that would have been considered impossible not very many years ago. This, however, is nothing to the next step, which the l priyiedge few know Eil be made, or l rather has been made, but cannot yet l be fully utilized. Assuming the c1r- 1 rent consumption of the old carbon lamp at watts, and the metal fla ment lamp at E watt, any reduction I in consumption which might have ad- yersely affected electrical undertakings i was more than counter balanced by the increased use made of electric l lighting. If a similar or greater re- ] ductien can again be made in eurres1t l for lighting purposes. will the effeet be the same? Consumers would have 1 the choice of either reducing the con- sumption or increasing the light. but I the balance would be greatly in the
 favor of the former even if con- l siderable increase was made in the
 latter. The present method of convey ing thousands of tons of coal all over the country with the many attendant handlings and multiplication of cost.
 in order to generate electricity in hun 1 dreds of smaH installations, must soon
 come to an end and this new light. l ing development will hasten that end, Only the wireless conveyance of elee- l tricity for lighting and power eepld have given greater impetus

War Savings Stamps once each month.
q pledge card having been signed to
purchase so many War Savings Stamps
every month of the current year. A
smokeless day In an average family
would mean a War Savings Stamp
once n month, $4,000 year. Try II
out and see how easy IL Is to save the
second month.
This savings habit which is growing
rapidly when once II attacks you places
your name on the right side of the
government ledger. The non-savers,
those who do not deny themselves,
who do not come to the aid of the
government, who fail to volunteer
their dollar, are entered on the wrong

OUR CONSERV ALTON
STRENGTHENS THE
MORALE OF ALLIES

The enormous Importance to the
supply of meat and wheat from
America was emphasized by Mr.. Hoo
yer at the recent Conference of the
Woman's Committee of the Council
of National Defence in Washington.
His statement brought wildly to the
minds of delegates the connection be-
tween their own efforts toward the
conservation of food and the great
issue facing our allies abroad. Mr..
Hoover said:
The meat question has been and
remains a serious one. The English
found themselves confronted by a
critical situation and had to reduce
their consumption to one and one
fourth pounds per week per capita
as against normal consumption
of about theree pohnds. Now they
are able to increase the ration That
has been not only of physical impor
lance but of enormous importance
to the morale of the nation, because
with the short bread and meat ration
existing in the early part of March
if some alienation could not have
been had in the face of the dis
enlargement of the German drive the
results might have been serious"
81 like to think that my state helped
TO make possible the increase in the
English rations," said one of the
chairmen in discussing Mr.. Hoover's
talk, "and why should | not think so
since our women have followed the
instructions Of the food pledge card
have planted gardens, canned and pre-
served as never they have done before
In thousands OF our homes a complete
revolution has been made in the fam
lily diet, SO that there might be say
ing in the food stuffs that are needed
by our allies abroad. am going home
now and tell our women that they
must put all of their energy into the
saving of wheat since the wheat Loaf
has become a symbol of life of a
western European nations, We are
not TO feel that we can abandon oui
program of conservation because We
hope for AN abundant harvest The
food problem is not yet ended
may become more severe. we can MOI
relax that Psychology of devotion il
