There may be those who have valid

Shortage Of Oil and

I-(Correspondence of the Associat-

STA has brought into use once more
a primitive lighting arrangement
known as the "svetila," an arrange
ment to burn birch twigs.
The "svetiias" have been resur-
reeted from some ancient storing
place in the log houses of the vil-

them. The arrangement consists of
wooden trough about two feet
long, with an iron pan to eaten the
ashes from the burning birch twigs,
which are placed in a fork-like ar
rangement so that they slant down
ward and burn easily.
Each twig, or "lutchinka," burns
about five minutes, with about as
much light as a candle and much
more smoke. The members Of the
family take turns feeding it.

WOMEN AND TRACTORS.

There is no branch Of farming which
women are unable or unwilling to under
take. The latest field of agricultural en-
deavor to be entered by the women is that
Of running the bir farm tractors and farm
power plants.
Ever since The Kansas Agricultural
College opened its farm motors schools it
mas had women students. This year it is
graduating four women, and expects to
have twenty or thirty more completing it's
short summer course preparatory to fall
riCWing.
Says the professor Of farm engineering
al the college: "All the women we have
had in cur classes do good work, the equal
or superior of the men enrolled with them.
Ihey So at the work in a systematic, en-
ergetic way and are not in the least afraid
.s.se a.s.u dit. IN all trouble work
tl2 women are especially good at analyz-
ing the difficulty and remedying it,"
st 0f these women have gone into
he work TO help solve the labor problem
en- their husbands farms. But if the need
t0r extra farm help continues and farm
ing remains as popular among women as
the growth OF the land army indicates, the
"hired woman" in some of the states may
come to be a customary helper in the fields
as we'll as in dairy and farm kitchen.

Two miles a minute in a blplane through

1t has been successfully done by the in
trepid pioneer character that always comes
to the front when there opens up a new
avenue for its display. The ocean has been
crossed on wings without stop. Already
the accomplishment Of American aviators
in the navy Curtiss machine has been out
DONE and the dreams of HaWker have been
realized so speedily that he has scarcely
had a chance to get through telling about
his great venture that so nearly meant
death to him.
Even though the thing has been done,
however, there is not to be halt in further
attempts, according to aviators still at st.
Johns, Newfoundland They will proceed
with their plans to fly over the sea, hoping
other prizes will be offered for planes that
and II minutes set by the Nimy-Vickers.
They will fly for those, and when no more
prizes are offered they will fly for the adj
venture Of it, and when that has palled they
will fly because some business adaptation
Of the new accomplishment has been found.
Already the successful flights have add
ed greatly to the knowledge of flying con-
ditions over the ocean and have brought
forth good pointers on the means that are
likely TO be most successful. Captain Al

serts that flying boat will be the best ma
