BULLETIN lC ISSUED BY FRED G BAENoER, HEAD OF HEAT
 POWER AT UNIVERSITY.
SAYS MUCH HEAT WASTED
CcaI Bill of the University Has Been Reduced 25 Per Cent-Cold Air Must Be Prevented From Get
 ting Under the House.
Fayetteyille.-

FayetteV1l1e.-
 Economical Heating of the Home" is the title of the bulletin by Fred G. Baender, head of the department of heat power engineering, University of Arkansas, at Fayetteville, which is now available for distribution. The bulletin tells how to get the greatest amount of heat from coal. By apply ing the rules given in the bulletin, Professor Baender has cut the coal bill of the University by 25 per cent.
 "In the first place, it must be re- member that in order to heat room it is necessary that the heat be kept in the room and this, in turn, means that it is necessary to see that all loose-titting windows and doors fit snugly," says Professor Baender. "In most homes much heat is wasted by allowing it to escape through poorly fitted windows and doors.
 During cold weather it Is advisa- ble to have the shades down at night, because glass conducts much heat to the outside, whereas with the shades drawn there is practically 6 double wall with a dead air space be- tween, which makes an excellent ar rangement for preventing the heat from escaping"
 Gold air must also be prevented from getting under the house as mucn as possible. Those homes that are built with the floor line considerably above the ground should have tight fitting foundation, entirely around the house and all openings in the founda- ton should be closed It is practical ly impossible to keep a house warm if the cold air is allowed free play un- der the house."
 Many other important pointers for the man who wants to cut his coal bill are given in the bulletin. Profes- so- Baender gives directions for the regulation of draft, thickness of fuel bed, size of Jumps put into furnace, ashes and their removal, cleanliness of heating surface, smoke pipes and chimney method of stirring fuel bed.

Seeing the Other Side.

We know man who has worked all his life for others; for his parents for awhile, then for wife and children and some of her kin. The world rates him as moderately successful, but his own actual monetary compensation has just about amounted to board and clothes. And at home he hears some complaint because he doesn't do bet ter. You hear much of the Joy of service, but sometimes there are two sides.-Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

Iookinn for Vlrtues

When you have mind to divert your fancy, consider the good qualities of your acquaintances as the enter prising vigor of this man, the modesty of another, the hberality of a third, and so on. For there is nothing so en- tertaining as lively image of the vir- tues exhibited in the character of those we converse with, occurring as numerously as possible. Let this, there fore, be always at hand.-Marcus Au- reliuS Antoninus

listening in fact to both unreconeiled and in open and hopeless contradic- tion? These are very serious and pregnant questions Upon the answer to them depends the peace of the world
 But whatever the results of the par- leys at Brest-Litovsk. whatever the eonfusions of counsel and of purpose in the utterances of the spokesmen of the central empires, they have again attempted to acquaint the world with their objects in the war and have again challenged their adversaries to say what their objects are and what sort of a settlement they would deem just and satisfactory. There is no good reason why that challenge should not be responded to and responded 10 with the utmost candor.
 We did not wait for it. Not once, but again and again we have laid our whole thought and purpose before the world, not in general terms only but each time with sufficient definition to make il clear what sort of definite terms of settlement must necessarily spring out of them. Within the last week Mir. Lloyd George has spoken with admirable candor and in admira- ble candor and in admirable spirit for the people and government of Great Britain. There is no confusion of counsel among the adversaries of the central powers, no uncertainty of prin- ciples. no vagueness of detail The only secrecy of counsel, the only lack of fearless frankness, the only failure to make definite statement of the ob- jects of the war, lies with Germany and her allies. The issues of life and death hang upon these definitions. No statesman who has the least concep- ton of his responsibility ought for a moment to permit himself to continue this tragical and appalling outpouring of blood and treasure unless he is sure beyond a peradventure that the ob- jects of the vital sacrifice are part and parcel of the very life of society, and that the people for whom she speaks think them right and impera- tive as he does

 collecting and distributing of types of cats known to be superior ratters would comprise an important section
 of the work, but, to make a clean
 sweep of the most destructive animal pest from which the country groans, much light labor and personal super vision, and a good deal of simple lab oratory work under scientific expert guidance would be necessary. By this means many men whom the country

As soon as the official route of thu Bankhead Highway to Little Koch has been decided on it probably will be rendered to the government as a military road, said J. A. Rountree, secretary of the Bankhead Highway Association, upon his arrival at Lit tie Rock. The road between Wash ington and Little Rock runs through IS cantonments, posts and aviation camps, and six others are within 100 miles of it." he said.
 Secretary Rountree will be i'll ArK- ansas for some time preparing for the route through the state. Two roads are proposed between Memphis and Little Rock and two between Little Rock and the western boundary, and selection must be made between them.
 MT. Rountree went with Governor Brough to Fort Smith where he de livered speech. Upon his return to Little Rock he will be taken over the southern route to Memphis by way of DeValls Bluff, At Memphis he will be met by another delegation which will escort him in machines over the proposed northern route by way of Wynne and Cotton Plant. The trip will end in Little Rock. He will then go over the proposed route to Texar- kama and the route west to Fort Smith.
 MT. Rountree said that all routes have been decided from Washington to Memphis, except about POO miles In Virginia, which will be decided upon within 60 days.
 He says that the annual meeting of the Bankhead Highway Association and the United States Good Roads As sociation in Little Rock from April 15-19 will be the largest yet held. He will confer with the governor, mayor and Board of Commerce relative to plans for the convention while he is there.

Look for the Best.

You will find it less easy to uproot faults than to choke them by gain ing virtues. Do not think of your faults; still less of others faults; in every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong honor that; rejoice in 1t; and your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.-Ruskin.

 My Friend.

My friend is constant, like that high star, and though distance and days come between us, as do clouds between It and me. I know my friend is still there, shining with the same clear steady light, and when the distance and days are melted away, I shall find 1t so.-Leigh Mitchell Hodges.

Russian Peoples Call.

There is, moreover, a voice calling for these definitions of principle and of purpose which is, it seems to me. more thrilling and more compelling than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. It is the voice of the Russian people. They are prOstrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany. which has hitherto known no relent- ing and no pity. Their power appar- ently is shattered, and yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield in principle or in action The conception of what is right, of what is humane and honorable for them to accept, has been stated with a frank ness. q. largeness of view, a generosity of spirit and a universal human sym pathy which must challenge the ac- miration of every friend of mankind. and they have refused to compound their ideals or desert others that they themselves may be safe They call to us to say what it is we desire, in what if in anything our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs. and I be live that the people of the United States would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness. Wheth- CT their present leaders believe it or not. it is our heartfelt desire and hope that same way may be opened whereby we may be privileged to as sist the people of Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty and ord cred peace.
 It will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understanding of any kind The day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular gov ernment and likely at some unlocked for moment to upset the peace of the world.
 It is this happy fact, now clear 10 eAAC fAt" OA CfCAg puDllC HldA h IIOoS thoughts do not still finger in an age that is dead and gone, which make 1t possible for every nation whose pur- poses are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow now or at any other time the objects 1t has in view.
 We entered this war because viola tions of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the fife of our own people impossible un- less they were corrected and the world secured once for all against this recurrence.
 What we demand in this war, there fore. is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in: and particularly that 1t be made safe for every peace loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live it's own life, determine it's own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other people of the world as against force and selfish aggression, All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest and for our own part we sec very clearly that unless justice can be done to others it will not be done to us. The program of the worlds peace therefore, is our program, and that

 For such arrangements and cove nants, said the president in eonelu- sion, i've are willing to fight and con tinue to fight until they are achieved, but only because We wish the right to prevail and desire just and stable peace"
 Such program, he said, removed chief proyocations for further war.
