 TURNS ON GAS

Found unconscious, lying on the kitchen floor, from gas poisoning Mrs. Helen Mcdonald of 172 Bur- roughs- street, was taken to St. Vim cents hospital, by the Emergency hospital ambulance on orders of Dr. John A. Maxwell of the Emergency staff. Reports from the hospital to- day state that her condition is crit ical
 When discovered, two of the gas cocks of a gas range were wide open It is supposed that in working about the range Mrs. Mcdonald accidentally opened the gas, as the fixtures were loose, and a turkish towel was taken from the top of the stove by the per son who found her.
 Dr. Maxwell, assisted by Driver Clifford Bright, used the lung moto on Mrs. Mcdonald for 20 minutes be. fore starting for the hospital with her

GERMAN AWARDS
 FOR BRAVERY

Vienna, Feb. - Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Of how lit tie importance and significance were some of the orders and decorations bestowed upon provinces and nobles during the war is Indicated by g. little story now going the rounds in Vienna. It concerns Albrecht, the son of Archduke Friedrich.
 He was assigned to the front with a Tyrol Kaiser regiment, but with in structions to the colonel and com mander that he must never be en- dangered. In 1917 the regiment had strenuous battle with the Italians at Schluderbach and suffered heavS losses.
 When the authorities looked over the list of recommendations for dec orations after the battle 1t was mo- ticed that he had been three klome- ters behind the line during the fight ing. The colonel declared he could not cite him as one of his bravest, since 1t would make ill-feeling among the soldiers and was not Justified.
 An order then was issued com manding the colonel to recommend Albrecht for the golden medal for bravery and when the officer refused he was relieved from his command.

AS previously stated, there was esti-
mated to be between As and so firms
or individuals making or attempting
to make tractors in 1909. The Office
of farm management, United States
department of agriculture, has always
kept in close touch with the tractor In
dustry, and the files show that in 1909
there were 102 firms actively engaged
in manufacturing tractors and 1862
firms and individuals planning to be-
gin In the near future.
Character Of Tractor Changed.
In the beginning the tractor was con-
structed to simulate the steam engine
in appearance. As time passed and
prejudice disappeared many refine
ments took place until today it is
compact, well-buflt machine capable
of performing a multitude of opera
tons. The first machines were heavy,
rough affairs, capable CT pulling eight,
ten, Or more bottoms. twas socn rec
Ognized that If the industry were to
prosper a machine would have to be
built which would be practical for or
diimry-sized farms. The result was
that small machines came on the NOR
ket, built to pull two and three plows.
This type Of tractor appealed to the
small farmer.
There are now more two and
three pillow machines built than of all
other sizes combined. There are, how.
ever, number Of companies still max
ing large-size tractor, which is still
used on they big farms of the North
west and the Pacific coast.
How Tractor Was Transformed.
From the rough machines of 1903.
and 1909 with single cylinders, chain
drive, cast gears, excessive weight, ex-
posed working parts, and poor ac--.
feasibility have been developed ma
chimes Of light weight with inclosed
/ working parts, friction and various
gear drives, electric fixtures, radiator
cooling systems, cut and hardened
gears multiple cylinders, air cleaners,
4 kerosene carburetors, one-1nan control,
and an easy accessibility all this at
price of one-half to one-fourth of the.
early machines.
Owing to varying conditions, there
are two types of machine on the mar:
ket at present---the craWler and the
wheeled type. The purpose of the
zc9aWler is to prevent miring down on
soft ground. lie same principle was
employed by tanks In the late war.

that have given farmers the opportu-
nifty OF seeing these machines at work
and deciding on the merits Of the in
dividual tractors.
Tractor Shows Develop.
In 1909 five tractors were exhibited
at the Omaha land show. It was In
tended to make the exhibition a per-
manent feature, but failure to find suit
able land for blowing caused the idea
to be abandoned. Not until 1913 was
anything on a large scale attempted in
the United States. Then demonstra-
ton was held at Fremont, Neb., in
which q manufacturers exhibited 80
tractors. From this time on ma
tional tractor demonstration has been
held each summer, with an ever-in-
creasing number of manufacturers ex-
hibiting until at the last show, held
IN Salina, Kan, in 1913, over 300 ma
chimes We're entered, and So manufac-
turers were represented. A winter
meeting is held each year at which
manufacturers of tractors and ac-
cessories exhibit. This show has been
held in Kansas City, Mo-, for the past
four years. Various local shows are
put on each summer, and since 1916
these have continued throughout the
summer, beginning in Texas and con-
tinuing northward. In March, 1919, the
first large demonstration of the year
was held in the South at Macon, Ca,
which shows that the South is alive to
the possibilities of tractor farming.

show the enormous growth Of the
tractor industry in the compare

LEGISLATION AND FOOD
ECONOMICS

(By Jean Prescott Adams, DIRECTORY
Department of Food Economics, Ar
mour & Coz
Every woman who buys food, every
one who depends upon some system of
collection and distribution for his food
supply, every home economics teacher,
student and patron is vitality interested
in the action soon to be taken on two
food control bills presented to the Sem
ate of the United States.
AS a leader of thought and as one
anxious to help bring. down high prices
the club woman will gladly follow
every avenue of information on these
bills.
The Kendrick and Kenyon bills are
most un-American. If we allow our
Congress to be swayed by sensation
alism into passing such drastic meas
ures. we must be prepared to accept
the boomerang of lower prices, to the
farmer and higher prices to the con-
sumner.
Briefly, these bills provide for a com
plicated system of licensing which
would put into the hatds of inexperi-
enced employees of the department of
agriculture the running of @reat in
dustry considered the most efficient in
the world under its present system of
