Reputed to Reduce the Cost
by Sixty Cents on Dollar

gasoline substitute which cnn be
manufactured to sell at two-fifths Of
The present cost OF gasoline may be

and development division of the de-
paftment According to the present

agreement with the war department
as to the margin OF profit that will
be allowed.
The product, which has kerosene
for base, Is odorless, colorless and
noh-corroslye, according to the war
departments statement, and tests
have proved II to develop a thermal
efficiency greater than the best gaso-
line. 1t was said that Capt. Il. G.

connected with the department, who
is responsible for the discovery and
development of the substitute, will be

Why the Barber Pole Is
Painted Red and White

The barber pole Is souvenir of the
days when all kinds Of business were
represented by pictorial signs, largely
because ability to read was not gen
eral. An explanation of the barber
pole is that ii comes from the time
when barbering was done by surgeons
or physicians and when the practice
Of bleeding for all kinds of Illness pre-
vailed. The barber stripes, according
to this explanation, picture the blood

CHICKEN HOUSE
NEEDS VENTILATION


Good ventilation In the chicken
house In essential TO success in the
poultry business, according tn Ross N.
Sherwood, poultry husbandry special
ist ip the extension division Of the
Kansas Stnte Agricultural college.
''The two methods most commonly
used are the open-front house and the
curtainfront house." said Mr.. Sber-
wood. "The open front provides the
most fresh mir ana Is giving excellent
results IN some sections. but many
persons find II desirable TO have cur
tnlns that may be placed over most OF
the openings during bad weather. II
has been found that house closed on
three sides and tightly curtaincd on
the south does not provide enough
fresh air. To remedy this, narrow
opening is often made just under the
rafters. This causes u freer circua-
ton of air than is possible with all
the opening curtained, and yet does no.
allow the wind to blow on the fowls"
The large curtained openings should
be from 30 to 30 inches from the floor
in order that the wind may not sweep
in directly upon the flock.
During the summer months openings
on the other sides of the building are
necessary TO make 1t cool enough that
the fowls viii roost there. These open
ings should be so located that the birds
Will not be in Il direct draft during the
night. These extra openings should be
closed tightly in winter.

Theodore Roosevelt has passed
on. Born with a silver spoon in
his mouth" he was exempt from
the common necessity OF toiling
for his daily bread. His tempera-
ment however, would not brook
inactivity. and early in his career
he became known as the apostle of
the.strenuous life. As such he en-
deared himself to thousands Of
ambitious young Americans who
hung upon his every word. He was
born leader Of men, and had,
perhaps, the greatest personal fol
lowing Of any American of the
present generation. When he or
ganized the Rough Riders in
the Spanish war he was besieged
with applications from those who
wished to join. Had he been per-
mitted TO participate in the war
Just closed, in the manner he wish
ed. the result would have been the
same. He was an all around man,
and in the course of his career
participated in many phases of
national life. He was statesman,
but his active mind and tempera-
ment given to initiative would not
permit him TO follow beaten paths.
and he often did things that were
deemed sensational and shat
shocked the senses of the political
wiseacres. In the early part of
his political career he did not hes
itate to cross swords with Thorn
as G. Platt, the acknowledged boss
Of his party, and he came out VIC
torious, too. He was essentially a
man of action and loved to be in
the midst of stirring events. While
his quick decisions and swift ac-
tons in official position seemed
oftentimes to belle deliberation,
history will charge him with few
serious mistakes. He was fight
er. but he always observed the
rules Of the game, and never
sought success by devious meth
DDS. Much fault has been found
with him because of his criticisms
of the government during the
world war, but there is no doubt
of his intense loyalty, and his ma
