POOR MATCHES IN INCUBATOR
CareIessness in Manipulation Of Ma.
chine Is Sure to Bring Dis
IT,. astrous Results.

Many causes for poor matches Of |
chicks in incubatOrs can be traced to
the operators not educating themselves
on what is necessary in the way Of
fertile eggs, saving eggs for incuba-
ton and taking care of them. Eggs |
for incubation should be kept in
well ventilated room with medium tenn
perature. All eggs should be turned
at least once every "a hours, and no
eggs should be over ten days or two
weeks old at the outside.
One should be careful to strictly fol-
low the directions accompanying the
incubator. The directions for one
make Of machine do not always do
for that Of another make, for the
ventilation, regulation, etc., may be
different.
The principal reason why young
chicks die in the shell about the
eighteenth day is poorly ventilated
room.
Other causes than poorly ventilated
rooms are poorly ventilated incubators,
and eggs are not properly fertilized.
An egg poorly fertilized will start to
grow and die for lack of vitality.
Opening up the incubator during the
latter part of the hatch, or about
the time the chicks begin to pip, lets
out the moisture and dries the chicken
up in the shell, or, in other words
stops the pores Of the shell, and causes
great many to die. Under no con-
dition should the incubator be opened
after the eighteenth day until the
chicks are entirely Matched.
AS rule, beginners with incubators
do not read the book Of directions
properly. Many person who has
seen an incubator, and probably run a
hatch of some other make thinks he
knows all about it, does not read
the directions and makes a fiat fail
ure every time. Sometimes no consid-
Grafton is given to the ventilation of
| the room in which the machine is
| placed. Possibly there may be de-
cayed vegetables therein, or the air
is STALE
There are few failures nowadays by
poorly regulated incubators, except
in the cheaper line of machines where
the, temperature will change 10. u

and Is degrees. One point have no.
ticed here at home by having a green
hand set an incubator, says writer in
an exchange. He reads the directions,
maybe thinks he has learned them
by heart, sets his regulator as soon
as the thermometer gets to 103, turns
the thumb screw where he supposes
is right, and places the eggs in the
machine.
Now. the thumb screw and regulator
is a very tender affair, and one turn
of the thumb screw will cause change
in the atmosphere inside the incuba-
tor of three to four degrees. 1t should
be turned slightly, about one-fourth Of
the way round, so the temperature
stands just at 1O3.
A great mistake is made by paying
too much attention to an incubator.
/ never see to my machine more than
twice a day, once in the morning and
once in the evening. see that the
regulator is set properly and every
thing running nicely before putting
in the eggs, and then place the eggs
in it and do not touch the regulator.
At first it will lower the temperature
a little when the eggs are put in,
but if the regulator is properly set
the temperature will rise to the prop.

Hashliqht From Ice Block

DEGARDED merely as a curiosity,
~ this (shown in the photography is
hard to beat.
1t is q fashlight contrivance of the
United States Lighthouse Service, and
is frozen in a block of solid ice. Yet
it still keeps on flashing at regular in
tervals of a few seconds. y
: The idea Of the experiment is to prove
that such a fashlight is proof against
weather conditions, even the most
severe. For contrivances of the kind
are set up on isolated rocks and in
other remote places where there is no.
body to take care of them.
For instance, if you were ~voyaging
from New York to the Canal Zone, and
were off the coast Of Honduras in the
nighttime, you would see lights fash
ing their warnings. They are far out
at sea, on uninhabe led Gays" but
they are attending to business just the
same.
These Gays are the property of the
United4States, having been acquired for
the purpose Of putting lights on them.
But Il would be expensive and incon-
venient to maintain lighthouses there,
and 81 the automatic flashlights are
installed. They. can work for a whole
yeaF without. receiving any attention.
For each such light there is a tank
filed with 1'acetone'-a substance
which is capable of absorbing and hold
ing 100 times its volume of acetylene.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-09-06

One charging will serve to keep the
light burning for a t~welvemonth.
The acetonei gives off the acetylene
gas into a chamber until, when a Ger

where it is ignited by a tiny pilot light
that burns all the time. This makes the

many seconds.
At ~idaybreak the flashing stops; the
light, save for the pilot, is e~xtinguished.
This, of course, is a very important
economy, and is accomplished by q most
ingenious arrangement.
Associated with the mechanism above
described gre four little metal rods,

When nightfall arrives the black rods
shrink to the same length-as the bright
rod. This releases the valve and the
light starts flashing again.

New Britain herald., 1920-10-28

..In 1920 the United States signed a solemn contract with other nations whereby she was bound to go to aid of any nation attacked from without, or to furnish troops when the council sees fit, under Article X and NI re- spectively, and it is not for you to de- eide. or for your nation to decide. That was decided for you without your having any voice in it.'
 Then" the speaker asked, would not that boy have the right to ask the question of what has become of my right as an American citizen 9 ''
 Continuing his parallel arguments even further, Senator Borah stated that had such a league as this been in force in 1776 it would have been impossible for the thirteen colonies to have won their independence. Even so today he said, would it be impossible for any independent nation that may seek independence to win that free dom except by fighting for 1t, and it such fight is started all the na- tions of the earth are bound to rush to the aid of the master nation and aid in driving them back to subjugation.
 The Case of Egypt
 As one proof to this. he referred to the Egyptian case in which Egypt, after aiding the Allies. sent a dele gation to the peace conference to make a plea for self government At the commatN of "a nation which sits at the conference and would sit at the conference with us" she was re- fused a hearing. They then went to the President of the Republic of the United States and asked him for a hearing but he was compelled to re- fuse them on the grounds of the stress laid upon him by his associate conferee. That would ever be the story of small nations fighting for inde- pendence, Senator Borah cried, de- claring that the world has now been divided since the war ard the league is an instrument which guarantees to those nations that have taken these spells of lands and peoples that they shall always hold them; and if the United States joins it will be her duty to aid them in holding them, regard less of opinions of people or congress.
 Later Senator Borah addressed another large and enthusiastic rally in Electric hall.

moral obligation" greater than any legal contract if they joined the league. The league. he asserted, is the greatest autocracy the human mind ever conceived, based on mili- tarism and deriving it's strength from forces"
 The Voting Power
 Discussing the voting power of the league, Senator Borah explained the league as divided into two bodies. First the assembly in which every ma tion a member has a vote. Then the league council. made up Of the hFe major nations (England, France, Italy, Japan and the United States) and four lesser nations elected for definite terms. In the assembly England starts off with one vote for England itself. Then one vote each for Canada, Aus tralia and every. possession until It has a grand total of Six. The United States has just one vote in this as sembly, as against six for England- The United States is placed on the same voting par with Siam. And It IS the assem- bly, that votes in the mem- bers of the council, the speaker warn ed, showing that in the course or a comparatively few years England could dominate the entire affair. On the same basis that England gets six votes. one for each separate division Of the Empire. he demanded As for the United States, one for each separ- ate division of this great country.
 He answered a statement by Frank lin Roosevelt in which he is credited with having said that Wilson actually put it across on England in the league voting as this country could obtain proxies from Cuba, Haiti and other smaller countries that this na ton may have influence overs In reply to that, Borah asserted that over night he could go to 24 little European countries and get their proxies before breakfast. But aside from thss point, he urged that there is no just theory that gives the United States the most powerful and wealthy nation. but one sixth of the original voting power of her chief commercial rival, England. And I don't think any man should be elected president who places the dig nity of the United States at but one sixth of that of England" he said.
 To better illustrate the points he had been trying to bring out about the league and its effect on American sovereignty, Senator Borah told what. he said, might be a possible story in the life of some present day mother with . ten year old son, should the league be adopted.
 About eleven years hence Russia makes an attack on Japan. The league orders the United States to Cend 200,- 900 troops to aid Japan ih repelling this external aggression. The United States does not want to go to war and says you are not being made the victim of an external aggression" but Japan replies" Russia is already in our territory" Then the United States says she is not interested and does not care, but the league orders her to fight and under the compelling moral obligation.4 she has to do SO
