Gets Power Without Coal.

A large paper mill at vargo, Sweden,
was recently rebuilt on the most i'm
proved lines. Formerly 10000 tons of
coal were consumed annually, and the
problem of maintaining this supply
was very serious one, but at the
present time no coal whatever is con-
sumed at the plant. The boilerhouse
contains seven electric" boilers, each
of 5000 horsepower, and the current
enters the boilers at a pressure of
10000 volts, without having to be
stepped down. Each of the boilers is
provided with three electrodes, and the
coupling arrangements are such that
steam generation can be regulated
within per cent. 1t is stated that
full steam pressure can be raised in
from five to ten minutes after switch
ing on the current, and considerable
economy in attendance is obtained, as
compared with coal firing.

SoIidified oil Economic Fuel.

French chemists have announced
that they are meeting with signal sue
cess in the effort to save and conserve
the fuel supply by process which
solidifies the oil and makes it in this
shape much easier to handle and eco
nomical TO burn as fuel.
At no distant date, it is promised,
it will be possible to use the new
product as substitute for heavy fuel
oils in furnaces, locomotives, and for
other industrial purposes where coal
conservation is big issue.
Not only will the product not be af-
fected by changes of temperature, but
it will also withstand combustion I'M
less in direct contact with flames, while
it is easily extinguishable by water.
Preliminary samples already pro-
duced have proved too costly.

MIGHT LEARN FROM FRENCH
American Writer Of Opinion There Are
Things His Countrynren Gould
Proftably Absorb.

They are wonderful folk these
French, and there is no people from
whom Americans can learn more Of
the art of living. While we, with our
high rents, are harassed by the ques-
ton of where to live, they, in spite OF
their high rents, think only of how to
live. We would do well to spend less
thought on the abode and more on the
mode. We could learn from them to
forget our national timidity and to dis
cover. our next-door neighbors, says
a writer in Leslie's.
The contrast between the excited
buzz and chatter and gayety that
strikes one on entering even the most
homely French restaurant and the
frightened and tremulous whispering
thrown in between long intervals of
logged eating that goes on in our own
restaurants is enough to shame any
good American. We could learn from
them to put aside our little pamphlets
on Facts About Sugar" long enough
to enjoy the beauty of hillside-and
still make enough money out of the
sugar business.
Our shopkeepers could learn that
politeness does not drive away trade.
We could have learned, alas, how to,
drink and how not to drink behind
swing-doors, or too strongly or too
much. The American business man
who hopes to do business with the
French must learn to deal with for
eigners as well as they do and not to
look upon what seems to him an ex-
aggerated politeness as a rich bit of
comedy, fault of which our business
men are, unfortunately, too often gull

WANT VIEW OF, WEALTHY
Visitors to New York More Interested
in MuItimiIIionaires Than in
Architectural Attractions.

The biggest attraction In New York
Is the multimillidnaire. Sightseers
from the hinterland who crowd Fifth
avenue buses are not half so interested
In such spectacles as the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the great railroad ter
mlnal stations, the Woodwork build
ing and other skyscrapers, the long
eXpanse of water front, with its great
sea craft, the palaces along the worlds
greatest and most gorgeous thorough
fare, or the rabble under the nitrogen
lamps of Broadway as they are in get
ting first-hand, intimate view of the
great captains Of industry and finance.
So say the men that whirl these
sightseers over and across New York
by day and by night.
Sightseeing buses ply the financial
district, it is true, but the conductors
are as ignorant Of who's who down
around Wall street as their passen-
gers from Oshkosh, Alfalfa Center or
Deer Trail, but Wall street is the de-
mand of the passengers, nevertheless,
and when the sightseeing buses reach
Wall street they invariably discharge
at least 80 per cent Of their cargo,
which goes abroad to see the sights
for itself
The sight of a Vanderbilt or an AS
tor would repay most of these sight
seers, say the bus conductors. A close
up of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., might
cause stoppage of traffic, they de-
clare, and a glimpse of ]. Pierpont
Morgan would fix New York irrevo-
cably in their minds.-New York Sun.

Evil in Scarcity of Homes.

Much of the unrest of the country
is due to the scarcity of homes, ac
cording to F. Roger Miller, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, Macon
Ga, who addressed the convention OF
the National Association of CONNER.
cial Organization Secretaries at their
meeting in Chicago.
Marriages have continued at the
rate of 100000 yearly IN the United
States" he said. But in 1918 only
10000 new homes were erected, while
in 1919 the number of new homes was
only 10000.
This home shortage is not due to
the war, but to neglect of the prin-
ciples and ideals of our f0fefathers.
Out of every 100 Americans GO are dis
contented."
Mr.. Miller suggested placing the
housing problem upon a community
basis, with opportunity for every man
to buy home suitable to his income,
and enactment of bills to provide fed
eral aid for hdme builders.

A good citizen does not forget"
when election day comes round. He
makes 1t point to remember that
1t is his duty as well as his privilege
to exercise the right to the ballot.
A good citizen takes the time and
trouble to study the candidates in the
field at election time. He looks into
their records, weighs the facts concern
Ing each one, and determines their
worth as public officials. Then he
votes accordingly with reasonable in
telligence.

The congestion of population in
urban districs is an old complaint.
1t seems to be an inevitable conse-
quence of our. industrial civilization,
and none of the schemes for check
ing it have proved effective. The
disclosure by the census that the
cities are growing seven and a half
times faster than the rural districts
is therefore no surprise. 1t Is not so
much that the cities have forged ahead
as that the country has fallen behind.
In the years from 1910 to 1920, indeed,
the cities have gained only FIVE new
Inhabitants where they gained six in
the preceding decade. But rural
growth ,ehas been only one-third as
