None of the statisticians will cain
that California's amazing growth In
population in the last decade Is due
entirely, to the fact that electricity Is
more widely used in that State than
In any other In the Union. California
has a population OF 3.426.536. or an

Americans are VIGOROUSLY the
most wasteful people In the world.
Enough food IL wasted in this country
to feed some Of the smaller nations
that are now suffering from want as
the result OF the world war. but this
Is not Ps serious as In our pronighcy
with two OF our essential natural re-
sources; coal and petroleum. The rate
at which, we are consulting our coal
and oil. which has taken NATURE
countless thousands OF years TO pre-
pare for, our use, ,iss scandslous.
We have, been burning coal at an
increasingly rapid rate while we have
neglected the development OF our
water power. often times referred TO
as white COAX.
The difference between white and
black" coal 10 that while water power
perpetuates itself and II is not con-
sumed. our limited coal resources can
never be replaced.
ENHAUsTING COAL BED.
For example: The Pittsburgh coal
bed In Pennsylvania was estimated
only four years ago as good for thirty
generations. but the rate OF mining
has SO greatly increased that now we
must measure the exhaustion OF this
largest bed In the State OF Pennsyl.
vania in . single generatioH
George Otis Smith, director Of the
u. s. Geological Survey, In a recent
address. showed that Of each thou.
sand tons OF coal marketed, $50 were
consumed in the industries, $50 tons
by the railroads, 1856 tons in dome s.
tic heating and cooking, 1870 tons in
king enlka IN for NJ
bunkers and 50 for mining in the
coal field, and 10 tons in gas works
Much OF this Is wasted by ineffi-
cient use. One hundred and sixty-fve
tons or 16h per cent is used for do
nestle heating and cooking. Only "A
small portion OF, the heat contained
in the coal. actually warns the house.
Most Of it'goes up the chimney.
rs FER CENT WASTED.
The thirty-hve per cent OF the
total production OF coal used In the
industries is also largely wasted. A
small steam plant consumes from 10
to 20 pounds Of coal for each horse
power hour developed. whereas under
the highly efficient boilers and with
great steam turbines, the electric
central station uses only one and
one-hdlf pounds for the same pro-
ductiOn.
1t has been estimated by experts
that the locomotives used in the
East Atlantic Zone taking Boston
as the northern boundary with the
western line extending from Science
tady'-to Harrisburg. Pa and with
Washington as the southern limit
represent 7.000,O horsepower. Lo-
comotives run actually but a small
portion OF the time, but their fires
must be kept going.
II all the railroads in that district
were electrified, GOO, 900 horsepower
of electrical generating capacity
would operate them.
Six hundred pounds OF coal contain
heat units equivalent to 900 horse
pow er-hours. As the tfansformatiou
Of power cannot be made with6nt
loss. the big electric central station
uses about 200 pounds to develop
this amount of power, but the little
steam plant. due TO ineficiency
wastes 9.400 tons OF coal for every
GOO pounds. OF coal really utilized
nearly 16 to ] ratio in favor of the
big plant. In view OF the foregoing
we must consider the future and
save our natural resources

A FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about
to take is absolutely pure and con-
tains no harmful or habit producing
drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's

der remedy.
The same standard of purity

in every bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded
from vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken

!, rivets per gang hour as 100 per cent
For the week ending January 20, the
latest report available at This time,
the drive shows an average OF Ala
rivets per gaIl- hour-an increase over
, the previous week of Go rivetS per
! hour or more than Is per cent. The
average for the ships on the ways only,
was 503-an increase over the previous
week Of about seven per cent, but a
slight decrease under the average for
the month of December. 1919. If the last
two weeks of January are as good as
the first two weeks. the average drive
for the entire plant will be somewhat
in excess of IS rivetS per gang hour.
Hull 974 is still in the lead with an
average of Gil for the second week
and $50 for the first. maintaining the
same average made in December.
The first week in January, 973 drove
an average of only 452, losing second
place to 972 who drove 573 for the
same week: but the reverse was the
case for the second week. 973 driving
more than 80 per cent better-6o1
rivets per hour, while 972 drove SEA.
1t is to be hoped that the final re-
ports for the month of January will
show higher average than the fig
ures for the first two weeks. and that
the drive for the month of February
will be even higher. In order to carry
out our programme, general increase
in effort must be felt in all depart
ments At the present moment, the
engineering department is working on
the preliminary drawings for six oil
tankers of 5000 tons capacity on a
private contract. These drawings, of
course, are merely in the nature of an
estimate. and do not mean that we have
the contracts, but if we are to get them
we will at least have to do as well
as we have in the past--The Rivet.

CONVICTS ESCAPE
WITH THREE FORDS

River Junction, Feb. 3.-Five white
convicts escaped from their guards in
Leon county Sunday night, taking with
them two Ford cars. They succeeded
in getting as far as River Junction
where one of the cars stuck on the
Chattahoochee and River Junction hill
and the other gave out of gas and oil
on the Flat Creek road near River
Junction. They deserted the two cars
there and relieved w. A. /, Kratzert. a
civil engineer here, of his Ford which
was standing out in front of his
boarding place. At this writing there
has been no trace of Kratzert's car.
Deputy Mckeown will take charge
of the two Leon county cars till the
