FEDERAL STANDARDS
ENCOURAGE EQUALITY
misunderstanding as to Bene-
fits Are Cleared Up.
With Passing Of Misapprehension In
ereasing Sentiment 10 Being Mani-
Tested In Favor Of Purchase
and Sale by Grade.

Misunderstanding as to the applica-
tion OF the federal grain standards
and as to the benefits to be derived
from the sale Of grain upon a grade
basis have been the cause of consid-
cradle dissatisfaction among produc-
ers and country elevator operators,
but with the passing of these misap-
prehensions an ever-increasing senti-
ment is being manifested I'm favor of
the purchase and sale by grade at
country points.
The old system of basing the price
at which wheat or other grain was
bought from the farmer upon the aver
age quality Of the crop In any COM
munity or section was totally unfair
to the producer Of good grain. Under
the ''mine-run" basis of purchasing
grain the producer of good grain re-
ceived no more for his clean, heavy
wheat than did the producer Of light
weight and otherwise inferior grain.
Instead of premium upon heavy
grain, premium was paid upon in
feriOr products.
The application Of federal grain
standards is calculated to prevent such
inequality, and as experience is being
had under the grading system growers
are finding that the purpose sought Is
being accomplished

How Hydrophone VIII Save Life.

All danger from heavy fogs which
nave been the terror Of seamen in all
ages is ended. 1t is believed, by the in
rention Of the hydrOphone. In q Sc
Mes OF tests made with ships of the
navy It has been found that signals
nay now be sent under water for
aore than 40 miles. It Is not only
possible for ship equipped with the
new device to tell It's exact distance
from land, but the presence of other
ships may be detected In plenty Of
xsne to avoid collision, and even the
depth Of the water may be measured.
The apparatus consists of tank
placed on the keel of the ship, about
three feet deep and twenty feet long,
yhich is filed with water. A sensi-
1--WE recording device picks up the vi
Sfations sent under the sea. This Ia
m turn connected with a device, called
tte compensation, on the ships bridge,
which Indicates the direction in which
a,e sound travels. A submarine re-
eently, made long trip under water
guided past all dangerous points and

NEW YORK FIRMS STORE
RECORDS OF OLD DEALS
A New York city storage ware
house company has undertaken
to free the city's Offices Of the
old files which clutter them. Few
offices which have been doing
business many years are not
burdened beneath the records Of
old deals. These records are
seldom referred to. They may
never be needed. But still there
may come time when they will
be Indispensable, so firms 60 on
preserving them. They clog the
filing cases. Thew detract from
office efficiency. They occupy
valuable space where rents are
high. They are the "Old man OF
the sea" to modern business.
1t was to remedy this that
some months ago the New York
storage firm built a huge fire.
proof warehouse only few
minutes ride from Wall street,
but still in q low-rent district.
1t was equipped with hundreds
Of small rooms filled with filing
cases. Other space was left va
cant, to be walled up into filing
rooms on customers speclfica-
tfOns. Each renter was guar
anteed the safety and privacy
of his own offices-at n much
less cost--for his old files.
The popularity of the scheme
was instantaneous. Banks were
among the first to patrOnize it.
Some leased as high as 1000
square feet of floor space. which
meant $1,000 cubic feet of filing
space, as the rooms are all II
feet high. Brokerage firms,
also, were attracted by the plan,
and other concerns Of all sizes
gave 1t their support. Some of
these took no more than so
square feet of space, but they
saved just that much of higher
priced space, in addition to SIM
plifying their active files.
Though the warehouse has
been open only a short while
800 business houses of New
York have leased rooms in it.
