Wireless Waves and Fire.

At first thought it seems highly Inn
probable that any fire could be ascribed
to the effect of wireless waves, though
it is conceivable that, granted certain
especially favorable conditions, the
kindling of a spark between adjacent
metal parts might have such effect.
M. LIE Roy, in recent issue Of the
Complies Rendus, describes expert
ments intended to test this point. He
had met with several cases In which
fires did appear to have been caused
by wireless waves. Accordingly, he
constructed an "infiammable resona-
tor" by the aid of which he did sue
coed in setting fire to paper, cotton
wadding and other substances. He
thinks it possible that in certain con-
ditions fnf1ammable substances such
as bales of cotton bound with hoop
iron. could be set on fire by wireless
means.-Dallas News.

their live stock so that the animals
will be productive and profitable, and
the crops that are now so valuable.
In selecting the designs for all these
buildings, the main idea to it is to elm
mate labor. However, the day of the
farm group with fine, costly barn
and a cheap. inconvenient house is
gone. Farmers now take pride in hav-
ing homes that will make the lives Of
their families pleasant. This is done
by Installing labor-saving conveniences.
And the greatest of these, as the wom-
en- have declared, is some sort of sys-
tenn to provide running water.
There is every reason why farmers
should build the home, or barn, or
granary, or other building that is
needed. The building industry is not
far behind the farming industry as an
essential to the prosperity of the coun-
try. This prosperity is what is max
ing it possible for farmers to get profit

BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.


A couple of years ago a state agri-
cultural secretary sent out a question
naire to several hundred wives of
farmers of his state, and among the
questions was this:
eff you could have only one Of the
modern Improvements in your home,
which one would you select?"
Two-thirds Of the answers received
declared for "some system of running
water"
This illustrates the demand in rural
districts for homes planned to contain
the same conveniences that are in
stalled in practically all city and town
houses. And the architects, who spe-
cialize in farm buildings. are taking
their cue and are planning just such
homes. The bath room, which a few
years ago was built into compare
lively small percentage Of farm homes,
now is in every design. Also, the
plans call for wiring for electric lights
and the many home conveniences that
electricity makes possible.
Herewith is illustrated a modern
farm home that is economical to build,
but has embodied in it the features
that the present-day builder wants and
demands. The house is slightly rect
angular in shape, the dimensions be-
ing 80 by 81 feet. The front porch

hip roof break the straight-line eff

''The natives of India dig for oil

able to obtain oil by this method for
their use. The oil of India has large
paraffin base and will be marketed in
England and also used in the great
industrial plants of the Indian en-
pire. There are many large refin-
cries in Burma and the other Indian
oil regions, and they will be the prin-
cipal sources of China's supply.
Il have been in India before, in
vestigating the oil fields, and in my
opinion, it is destined to be one of the

California oil and on par with the
Texas product"

which, as every housekeeper knows, is
a nuisance.
On the second floor are three bed
rooms, the bathroom and a good-sized
store-room, all opening off a central

provided, there being one in each of
the bedrooms and one at the end of
the hall
This home will accommodate fam
lily of considerable size.
This design, like any other, is sus-
ceptible to change to suit the ideas of
the home builder. The rooms may be
made larger by extending the build
ing slightly either way. The elimina-
ton of the hall on the first floor will
enlarge the living room, While it is an
easy matter to add sleeping porch.
The cost of this home is compare
lively little, it being of standard
frame construction, set on a concrete
foundation. Building costs vary in
different localities, but the local con-
tractor or material dealer can quick
ly give an estimate of how much of
M investment will be required.
In planning to build a home, 1t all
vays is we'll to consult the local archi-
feet. contractor and material man.

valuable advice to the prospective

This youngster is one of the type
that constantly is falling over some
thing. He has entire summers of sore
toes because he "stumps" them. His
mother, wearying of tying up his
wounds, said to him on his most recent
call for first aid:
"Son, if you stump another toe I'm
going to punish you
An hour later she heard the famil-
lar yelp. He had gone down in action

rooms is shown by the floor plans that

One of the many quaint supersti-

way: when passage to Cathay (the

the Northwest, a man brought home a
stone which was pronounced to be

several vessels were fitted out for the
express purpose Of collecting gold.

when this prosperity fades, SO will the

Building a home now will help Gre
ate general prosperity. Thousands of
homes are being built, and it is notice
able that a great majority of them are
being erected in the rural districts.
Farmers have needed the call to fur

new homes new barns and new build
ings of all sorts.
