Fires in Cotton Gins Pre-.
ventable by Sim
pie Methods
Static Electricity, the Chief
Cause, Easily COmbated
by Grounding
Machinery

Washington. D. C.-The main cause
OF the frequent and destructive fires
in the cotton gins of the south is
static or frictional electricity-an ell
-ement easily controlled by simple
methods. That was shown conclus-
lively in recent Investigations by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, through its Bureau of Chem
stry, which now has issued a circu-
lar telling how to prevent blazes
from static electricity, and also CIV
ing suggestions for the prevention of
fires from matches or other foreign
material in cotton, from friction,
from cotton hanging to ribs in the
gin, or from other possible causes
of less Importance.
So frequent were the mysterious
gin fires in 1917-the losses in Texas
alone that year being estimated at a
million-that rumors of alien enemy
activity spread through the country,
and Uncle Sam sent several .experts
to Texas to determine the cause and
the preventative. The experts found
that most of the fires were caused
by sparks of static electricity, but
that it was easy enough to prevent
the sparks from doing damage by the
simple expedient of running wires
from the gin machinery to the
ground.
How to ground" gin machinery
is the chief thing that the experts
have, to tell in the new circular, Cot
ton Gin Fires" numbered %, which
may be obtained free by application
to the Bureau of Chemistry of the
department. Diagrams show the best
ways of wiring.

soon after the signing of the armis-
tice. St. Louis, Mo-, and Louisville,
KY, also, have found difficulty in
meeting the demands made by ar
chitects. An Arkansas architect
writes that he has signed contracts
for 100000 worth of buildings and
may be compelled to forfeit part of
the work, because Of his inability to
procure draughtsmen.
Every one is asking Where are
the draughtsmen?' he says in a let
ter setting forth the situation in the
south and southwest. Possibly they
are still in the army service and it
might be that urgent appeals like
mine would hasten their release. 1t
is probable, also, that many have
drifted into other vocations and pub
licity might induce them to return
to their former line of work"
Previous to the war draughtsmen
were not we'll paid, one correspondent
points out, but now they are offered
from $50 to SIS week.

Compensation Precedes
Vocational
Training
Cases Must be Declared "COm-
penSable" Before Fed
eral Board Awards
Training

Washington, May l4.-There has
been some complaint on the part of
disabled men who file their appli-
cation for re-education with the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation on account of sorne delays in
obtaining a ruling upon their cases.
1t muse be understood that before
the Federal Board can award train
ing the case must first be passed as
a compensate" one, that is to say,
the injuries sustained by the appli-
cant must be at least ten per cent of
total disability With the enor-
nous number of claims pending be-
fore the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, and the necessity for care and
close scrutiny of each case, 1t is
physically impossible for very rapid
action, and the Federal Board of ne
cessity is bound to await the action
of the Bureau Of War Risk Insur-
ance This will explain some of the
delays at which applicants have been
inclined to complain somewhat.
Since the Federal Board has been
the recipient of some funds from
various organizations to use at dis
cretion, it is now able to eliminate
many of the delays where case is
clearly compensate" Where the
medical experts of the Federal Board
are. certain that there is no doubt
about the mans disability he is inn
mediately placed in training, and the
relief fund used therefor, and when
his case has been passed upon by the
Bureau of War Risk and compensa-
tion afarded, the money is placed
back in the relief fund to be used for
some other meritorious case.

Shortage Of Architec-
tural Draughtsmen

Revival of building has proved fiat
there is serious shortage, aoa
draughtsmen, according to reports
received by the U. S. Department of
Labor. Architects in all parts of the
country are experiencing difficulty
in obtaining men and are offering a
decided advance in salaries, but in
many cases the much needed workers
can not be obtained.
The shortage was first reported
from Ohio, where construction pro-
jects of various sorts were begun

The first wedding veil was called
the "fammeum." 1t was a large yell

Greek and Roman brides during the
marriage ceremony. The bridal wreath
of orange blossoms, which is the con-
ventional thing today, was introduced
into Europe by the Crusaders, and Is

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The case Of
Theodore Turner, who has been
to the Cubs by the arbitra-
ton board Of the minor leagues. IL
illustrates the high regard in which
club owners do not hold the laws Of
baseball.
President Veeck Of the north
side club negotiated with the
Bloomington club for the services
of Turner and purchased him in
good faith for the sum Of $500
last summer. As soon as that fact
became public property. Roger
Bresnahan, president Of the Toledo
club, set up q claim for the money.
Rule Was Evaded.
When the showdown case at the
recent meeting Of the minor league
association in the east it was dis
covered that the Toledo club had
loaned Turner to the Bloomington
club under q gentlemen's agree
ment to get around the rule which
forbids farming out players.

the Chicago clubs hand clean and
awarded the player to It without
question, then took under advise.

Toledo club or the Bloomington
club was entitled to the coin, which

Tomorrow afternoon the Is men

ford, where on Thanksgiving day
they will meet the Rockford eleven
in the last game of the season.
The last practice last night con-
sisted in . long signal driA which
was kept up until it was too dark
to see the ball and all of the Is
landers' shifts and fake plays were
run through time and again. !.
The local squad is in the best
form that 1t has attained SO far
this season. After its defeat by
Davenport the locals polished up
and last Saturday easily defeated
the strong Monmouth team. Rock
ford is also reported to be in
stellar condition. Rockford so far
has suffered only two defeats and
is determined to beat the Island
ers. The latter wants revenge for
its defeat four years ago. the last
game between the two schools.
Although weakened by the loss
Of both Olsen and Henke, fans are
