New Portable Furnace.

A recently designed portable indus trial furnace is self-contained, requir- ing no wire or pipe connections as it is moved about in shop or field. Its fuel
 is kerosene, which is reduced to gas the moment before being ignited, and Is claimed to give temperature ranging from 2,500 to 3,cOO degrees Fahrenheit. The kerosene is held in storage tank supported under the burner on the stand carrying the burn- CT. The capacity is sufficient for a ten-hour shift, in which the ordinary consumption is not over seven and one half gallons, and the oil is supplied to the burner by air compressed to oo te 90 pounds. one charge of air sufncing for the days work. The nonoNidizing character of the flame permits leaving hot metal in tine furnace long time without damage. The furnace is es- pecially adapted for heating rivets and for hardening tools, but may be useful in many other operations.

TRUCK TRAFFIC HITS RAILROAD
On Short Road in Texas Lots Passen-
gers and Freight
(Associated Press)

Chicago, Nov. 16.-The trials Of
railroad presidents who preside over
the destinies Of the country's short
lines are coming to light in the hear
ings being given here to more than
100 short lines whose employees
have petitioned the United States
railway labor board for increased pay.
One Texas road, built primarily to
open up a route to some mineral de-
posit beds, has to date the champion
hard luck tale, according to G. w.
Hanger, member of the board. The
president Of the line explained he
owned Al miles Of track between two
terminal cities. His fast passenger
train covered the distance in two
hours.
But between the two cities is
hard surfaced highway, and enter
prising auto owners have opened
bus line. The highway, on direct
route is little more than twenty
miles long, compared to the, rail-
roads Al. The auto bus covers the
distance in 40 minutes, one hour and
twenty minutes faster than the train,
and charges the same fare.

HAVE a SELF-STARTER

| The hard thing for the averag
youth is to get started In life. Afte
he has settled the big question Of tn
business In which he Is to invest. tn,
next problem is to kick OF.
II II not always easy. Here J,
where we seek a friend with a pull
II IL a great thing to be that kind oi
friend. Some Of the best deeds one
gets to his credit on the books Of the
recording angel are the things done
In helping young fellows start in
life. Often these things declare div.
idends when dividends are most need
ed.
But there Is something better than
either p push or a pull. 1t Is a SELF
starter.
Heredity Is something; It is what
one gets from his ancestors. Envi-
ronment is something; It is what one
gets from his surroundings. But
there Is a more valuable asset than
either ancestors or circumstances; 1t
is personality. Personality Is what
you are In yourself.
' That IL where the self-starter IL
located. You do not need either a
pull or a push. You simply need to
bear down on personality, to spark
the latent power in your own being.
Ignition may be slow, but keep turn
ing over the engine. A lot Of young
fellows want to be millionaires before
hey have reached pay day. We wor-
ship quick success. The best things

md cost little are cheap issues and

1t is fellow who has the deter
nination that declines to yield to
cement, who keeps on crank
ng himself into action, whose will
,ower summons him to patient, plod. |
ling, persistent effort, that Is on the
Program for the best success In life. |
"Take heed unto thyself' was the
dvice an old man gave to his young |
rlend long time ago. 1t was PauPs
way Of telling Timothy that life
hould be equipped with a self-start-
r.
But still put yourself to the test.
You don't know what you can do;

Spirit Land N
Bill Perkins died-as all men must; m
His weary body turned to dust \
But Charon took his sagging soul
And padded it across the Styx
Where no one came to grab his roll
And no one talked of politics.
And Bill was glad enough, because
He gotten sick of endless laws,
OF growing rents and prohteers,
OF clothes to frame his aching bones,
Of strikes and squabbles through the years.
OF taxes and Of telephones
Here's where III only loaf and dream,
He thought, beside singing stream;
No food to buy-no rent to pay
No central saying Busy now,
And every other blissful day
A brand new halo for nv brow
But three days later, dreaming still,
A Medium discovered Bill
He kicked and scratched-he fought his best
But never had ghostly chance:
Who would have up against the test
When large blond ladies throw trance?
This broke his spirit more than all
To have strange, pleading women call
Him Loving Husband mis- ght and day.
Strange women that he d never seen,
Where some were blond and some were gray,
And some were fat and some were lean
Strange fathers spoke to him as son"
Strange mothers called him little one;
Strange brothers whispered Hello. Bill
Until one bitter night he tried
While feeling blue and low and i'll
To cut his throat in suicide
IF do that, he thought I'm done;
Ill be two ghosts instead of one
And she will double up my shift
And keep us both here in her den
Where will likely have to lift
Just twice many tables then
He tried to snap the mystic chain,
But all his protests were in vain;
And SO each night at half-p eight
He had to leave his realm of rest
l o blow horn or mark slate
Or jump table for her guest.
