DRY GROUND PEET WILL BE
WORTH MANY MILLIONS TO
FARMERS AS FERTILIZER

Henry H. Henshaw chief enginee,
of Minnesota, has submitted a report
to State Auditor Preus in which he
estimates the value of the peat Dogs
of Minnesota at $70,OO0,OOO,OOO. He
the dry peat that could be removed
arrives at these figures by estimating
at 6,8O0,00O,0O0 tons, valued at SIS
ton, $34,OOO,OOO,OOO. "There can be
saved out Of this as a by-product,'
he asserts, more than half million
tons of sulphate of ammonia, the pres
ent price of which is 500 to sos ton.
But, assuming the value to be $50 a
ton, this by-product would be worth
$34,000,0OQ,000. On this basis the
value of Minnesota's peat is sixteen
times that of it's iron ore, estimated
at billion and half tons at So per
ton."
y cannot explain the whole process
of combustion, in this report" saya
Mr.. Henshaw, cor even attempt it,
but to to some extent there is so much
advantage in peat carrying with it so
large an amount of oxygen, that its
lower content of heat units, due to
this dilution, is in some ways an ad-
vantage. 49,
"Peat will burn with less air than
coal, consequently with less heat
waste.
"Recent experiments made in
Sweden, where peat is practically the
only native fuel, proved that, burnt
in powdered form, as much work was
performed by ton of peat as by a ton
of coal, although the coal contained
one-third more heat units than the
peat. In both cases the fuel was
burnt in the form of a fine powder, for
as in Sweden or Italy, where coal is
exorbitantly high in price, the crude
method shoveling chunks of fuel into
the fire cannot be Thought of. "
''The finely divided powdered fuel is
burnt to so much greater advantage,
that it should be almost universally
resorted to, and its benefits are as evil
dent in burning peat as ceal.
"There are peat beds within easy
reach of nearly every farm in the
state, and if the state would make
demonstrations of harvesting and
using turf, it would save for ou1
farmers a great amount Of money and
trouble. Turf is light and friable, anc
will not stand handling and trans,
portation.
"There is no necessity, however, Of
stopping at the old method of burn
ing turf, originating in the 'Stsne Age
1t is quite possible to burn turf on {
farm with electric lighted barn ane
airplane mail delivery.
"The most perfect method of using
fuel is only one short step beyond tn,
open turf fire and that method is nov
available. The turf can be easily con
verted into powder and burnt, mixee
with the theoretical amount of air, ant
instant and complete combustion il
attained.
The difference in burning the crud
turf and the powder is as great a
the difference in running an automo
bile engine without or with a carbure
tor. In the powder, a cubic inch o
solid fuel is divided into 10000 o
more pieces and each piece in con
tact with air, constituting prope

dramatic significance Of mere human

sense that opera is an elaboration, by
means Of a concentrated accompani-

was vivid and impressive; but the
elaboration tended to defeat itself.
To understand why the dance in it's
simplest forms is dramatic, why sheer
motion Of human beings has in it all
the essential parts of the human trag-

notion put forth in its various

We have received the following let
ter from Walter G. Taylor, of Chicago:
Your reply in The Literary DIGEST
to the criticisms of Rabbi Wise and
DR.. Straton leads me to ask you few
questions:
Would you allow daughter of
yours to expose her person at so much
a week to the gaze of the 'salacious'?
"If not, why do you uphold the
theatrical standard of to-day as low
cred to the depths of filth by the
daughters of other men? Is it not that
you are selling your manhood-if not
your soul-for a paltry $500 per week
salary? Poor fellowl
al interesting article from your
pen would be the history of these 'ex-
rosure slaves
"A-Beginning such life.
"B-The joys of it.
Glow the hours are spent by
them outside the theatre.
"D--How long is their life on the
average?
"E-The ending of their days
where, in a grave or on dissectinc
table?
you know as we'll as / do that the
theatre without the 'salacious' cannot
exist to-day. Be honest, man"
We can hardly answer all these ques-
lions adequately at single sitting, be-
cause some of them are hypothetical
and IN regard to others we have not
yet received the statistics for 1918.
FOR instance, we cannot answer the
one about allowing our daughter to ex
pose her person on the stage for the
sake Of gain, because We have no
daughter. All we can say is that our
son goes about contentedly in a diaper
and an undershirt, even without the
lnducement of financial return.
AS for the beginnings Of "exposure
slaves" we are informed by the press
agents that they are invariably society
girls or the daughters of Methodist
ministers. Of the joys Of their lives
we know nothing. The question Of how
tnelr hours are spent off the stage does
NOT TAIL within the scope Of our denart.
nen'' but again we hear from press
agents from time to time that thew are
largely devoted to farming, appearing
at benefits, selling Liberty Bonds and
losing jewelry.

and ninety. The last forty years are
spent in singing, rope skipping, songs

R0Uo Peters

One Of the most striking develop
ments in the theatre in recent years is
the recognition that is rendered the
designer of stage settings Out of an
anonymous and haphazard function in
the theatre his has come to be the most
important share in interpreting the
mood and tempo of play. 1t falls to
him to accomplish the fusion of set
tlngs and acting, and the next step in
MS evolution is that he should become
the directing intelligence of produc-
ton.
Ihe new and extremely forward look
ing Theatre Guild is demonstrating this
IN its choice of Rollo Peters as director.
Peters is the youngest of the American
scenic artists-a fedgling from the
Washington Square Players nest. To
touch a production on all sides, he
works not only as scenic artist and
director, but as an actor as well, In
John Ferguson" he plays the part Of
the son. My first acting was done as
the young lover in the Washington
Square Players production of 'Salome'
about year ago." he said, land l feel
that my scenic work has been greatly
improved by my acting. 1t has helped
me to understand some things which
heretofore were a closed book to me.

characters which are being interpreted

matter which present themselves to
you as an actor which one could never
understand otherwise. remember

If Mr. Taylor is correct in saving
that the theatre Of to-day cannot exist

1T more incumbent upon US than ever
to maintain that the damage done by
impropriety in the theatre is trifling
For could the choice lie between q

There is a proper time for the man

but this time comes, we think, about

the other ninety-nine it Is totally ir-
relevant. Once a century a Jeremv
Collier should be allowed to come in
and wash the drama, but then he
should set it down and let it grow again
without interference. We don't think
that this is bath night.
The stage costumes of to-day, we
think are not vulnerable. To our
mind, bare knees are more beautiful
than the pink tights of the past gen
Grafton, and fully as moral If the
theatre is to be washed it should be
cieansed of its tendency to excessive
sentlmentality. The most immoral
play we have seen in five seasons is
"Pollyanna," with it's shocking theory
that 1t is the duty Of every man in
the world to be glad no matter whether
he Is rich or poor, we'll or i'll. Next
in order we should put Barrie's Dear
brutus,' in spite of it's abundant
charm, because of the noxious scene in
which Lob fondles the flowers and
calls them pet names. Nor are we
disposed to omit "Thirty-Nine East"
with its enunciation of the theory
that the most helpless thing in the
world is good woman"
But even here we. should be sorry

Dear Brutus," with this one excep-
