WASH DAY HORROR

"A Queen are You and Queen am I,
But who will spread the Clothes TO dry?'
This was the puzzling question that
two little queens of the Orient put to
each other long, long ago. The old
primitive laundries OF China on the
banks of canals may have had some
advantages. but If the washerwen
were stricken with the plague, then
who would spread the clothes TO dry?
The question of the family wash was
indeed serious and being queens, how
could they be expected to do any use
full work such as spreading clothes to
dry?
Such a situation is not new here
and now. Monday morning the faith
full laundress may call up to say that
she cannot come as the children have
the measles, SO who will do the wash
| ing and who will spread the clothes
| to dry? The age-old question is now
| answered by a modern machine that
| does wash in - minutes and dries
| it in one minute. Following the
| washing OF each tubful, the dryer l.
revolved one minute which takes the
place of wringing and the clothes are
put aside until ready for the rinse
| water.

Electricity played an important
part at the International Silk Exposi-
ton held in New York recently.
First there was the very distinctive
general illumination. Chinese in

Rodents Serve in Johns Hopkins
Research for ChiIdren's
Disease Remedy.

BALTIMORE, Feb. o5.-Experi-
ments that may lead to the discovery
of a specific cure for ricketts,, the
Fdisease which is thought to be re-
sponsible, among other things. for
bow-legs in children, are under way
at the Johns Hopkins school of hy-
giene and public health. They are
being made on the colony OF 1000
rats at the John Hopkins medical
school.
The department of chemistry of the
school of hygiene and the department
of pediatrics of the medical school
have united their efforts in these ex-
| periments
1t has been thought for years that
the administration of cod liver oil to
! persons suffering from ricketts, exerts
| a favorable influence in the course OF
the disease. One of the chief symp-
! toms Is the lack of calcium in the
| bones and their consequential bend.
! ing in the legs when a child thus
afflicted begins to wark. The NAL.
| formations due to ricketts,, however
are not confined to the legs, as the
ribs and vertebrae are affected
One of the objects of the expert
ments at Johns Hopkins will be to
show that cod liver oil, properly ad.
ministered, will cause the retention
of calcium in the body so that 1t WI
be deposited in the bones.
That the disease is caused primar
lily by defective diets has already beer
shown by the experiments. The rat:
in the colony all live under conditions
that are identical except for the foot

GERMAN LOAN WILL
Be FOUGHT ON HILL
Members Of Congress Opposed
to Bankers Scheme to
Extend Credits.

The proposal by a group OF Ameri-
can bankers that a billion dollar
credit be established for Germany,
secured In part by the S4oo. .o00. 900 in
German property. held by the alien
property custodian. will be vigorously
opposed by Congress, even though
President-elect Harding should favor
the plan.
This assertion was made yesterday
by leaders In both the Senate and the
House. They characterized the pro-
posal as impractical, and frankly ex-
pressed the doubt that the President
elect has given IL his approval as re-
ported In dispatches today from St.
Augustine.
The German government. IL Is said.
already has consented to the arrange
ment II IL can be effected.
Legislation, however. will be re-
Quired to make the funds held by the
alien property custodian available for
this purpose. and In view OF the posi-
tion assumed by leading Congress
men today IL Is extremely doubtful II
IL can ever be obtained. 1t was point
ed out that even though Congress
might favor the plan IL would be
illegal to enact measures placing the
funds of the aliens at the disposal of
private bankers. as this money Is not
the property of the Government.
The fact that the German govern
ment In willing to sanction the ar
rangement. IL was said further. would
make no difference. as the money be-
longs to German nationals and not to
the government.

ELECTRIC INDUSTRY
TAKES FIRST RANK
Value Of Output Exceeds That
of Packing, Textiles, and
Iron and Steel.

In point of value of output. the
electrical industry now stands in
the front rank. exceeding by a large
margin those of the major industries
of meat packing. textiles, and iron
and steel. The retail value of only
the electrical merchandise marketed
in 1920 is said to have considerably
exceeded the $4,000, 600, 900 mark.
To produce this great value of
merchandise. not only has an enor-
nous investment been made in
electrical equipment Of various kinds.
but the annual value of the cleo
trical products which have to be
added to maintain the necessary
manufacturing capacity and facilities

industry. The annual value of the
generating equipment added Is alone
at $3.50, ,000. 900: new trans

trical causes, compared TO 4,o25
which started from cigarettes or
matches.
PROPORTION VARIES LITTLE.
IL was further found that the pro-
portion of electrical hres In the
23O cities Investigated varied but
little. Cities ranging In population
from 5000 TO 1000 900 or over were
Investigated, and the variation OF
electrical fires was but two-thirds
of 1 per cent, showing that the
electrical fire hazard Is about the
same In large as in small cities.
In many instances, electricity Is
given as the cause OF fire when
such a fire should not have been
listed among fires occurring in resi-
dences or commercial buildings and
resulting from electrical causes.
In Chicago. the fire marshals re-
port gave 562 electrical fires out of
a total OF 14,407 in 1919, Nerifica-
tion OF these figures by the depart
ment of gas and electricity could not
be made, as checking up reduced the
number OF electrical fires TO ZIG. Of
these sixteen were caused by the
burning out OF motors or generators,
and six from short circuits in auto
mobile wiring.
This left only ninety-four fires oc-
curing in residence or business
blocks from electrical causes or O.61
per cent of the total number of fires
in Chicago-which has 10000, 900 cleo
trio lights, 100000 electric, irons
and other appliances, and more than
500, 900 horsepower in electric motors.

PRICE READJUsTMENT WELL
ADVANCED.

That price readjustment has gone
far in many directions is seen in the
low quotations for cotton. wool, rub
Der. silk, copper. etc, which in some
instances are below pre-war figures.
That there is still to be some re-
adjustment in few other lines, such
as steel and iron, coal and oil and in
certain building materials, is gencr-
ally recognized. With wages lowered
and the excess profits tax modified or
done away with entirely this can the
more readily be accomplished.
To be sure, before the country will
be in a position to put on full steam

ELECTRIC HAZARD THRILLING.
That this is the case. and that cleo
trical nre hazards need not be a Sc
rious consideration. Is made evident
by the annual report of Chief Engi-
neer Henry X. Yates, of the Scheneet-
sdy Bureau OF Fire. for 1920. His re-
port gives the total number OF fires
during the year as zoe of which nine,
or less than per cent, origin
ated in electrical causes, such as de-
fective wiring.
On the other hand. cigarettes and
matches caused fortS-hve fres In
Schenectady last year. defective Chin
neys resulted In twenty-eight nres,
burning brush was the cause OF nine

sisAILROAD CLAIMS TO bE rAip'

standpoint the most
most important event OF the week
has been the passage by Congress
of the railroad relief measure waieh
authorizes partial payments TO nc
made 70 the roads on their claims
OF $500 O.Ooo.0 still due to them un-
der the Government guarantee
Considering that this bill ie sim
ply a tardy act OF justice ~ seems
incredible that there shouid haEe
been any opposition to IL. but IN
ali legislative bodies unanimity OF
opinion Is seldom or ever encoun-
tered, especially In connection Win
corporations The fact Is generally
lost sight. of that the s20. 100000, 900
bonds and stocks OF the roads are
held by a vast horde OF citizens VINO
Rave invested their savings In them
| for income purposes.
An AIT illustration of this Is seen
| In the number of shareholders OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
has reached the enormous total OF
ls4, 900, nearly half OF whom are
women. The bonds OF the company
are just as widely distributed; and
this is equally true with regard to
the security holders of other roads.
But leaving the owners of the roads
out of the question. IL has been
demonstrated many times In the past
that impoverished railways hurt the
country in more ways than one' not
the least OF which Is in the unem-
pIoyment of labor.
The railways will now be In
position to buy new equipment ana
to carry out plans for betterments
and improvements, which are badly
| needed by many roads. and will also
enable them to reduce floating
debts which are not only trouble
some, but costly.

SOME WEAK SPOTS UNCOVERED.

Aside from the railroad Legislation.
the stock market has had a rather
distressing week. Reports cf num-
Der of industrial conpsLics giving
the final results of las: years operh-
t,oDs are now putting In an appear
ance, and owing to the severe shrink
age in inventories are making 4 sorry
showing, notably so In the case OF
the Central Leathe- Company.
Then again, the further cut an
nounced by the American Woolen
Company in certain lines Of goods and
the continued reduction in the price
of oil have naturally had an unset
tling effect on the shares of the COM
panies interested, although anything
that will reduce the cost of living
cannot be regarded as other than good
for the country at large; besides, the
lowering of prices Is boInd, before
long, to result in an increased buy
ing power, which is so badly needed
at the present time.
