The Smokeless Era

That electricity has not yet done for the
world 1.-THE of what it is capable of doing, is the
belief of Charles P. Stenmetz, who as an cleo
trical wizard ranks next to the mighty Edison.
Mr.. Steinmetz foresees smokeless era, when
electricity will furnish not only light and power
but heat for our homes as well.
Twenty-Five years ago Steinmetz had just be-
gun his interesting career as consulting engineer
He had been long time in preparing himself
for the great work in the application of science
to our industrial life in Breslau, Germany where
he was born in 1866, and in Zurich, Switzerland
A man of frail physique but with a mighty brain
he had overcome many obstacles and had subju.
gated matter to his will. His Investigations ir
physics, chemistry and in mathematics cover
wide range.
In addition to his practical labors as consult
ing engineer to great manufacturing plant, Mr.
Steinmetz is also well known as teacher, for he
is member of the faculty of Union college.
He has written number of books on elec
trical and engineering subjects.

general lack of construction activity in the
United States. Every structure destroyed by
flames merely intensifies the situation, instead
of helping to relieve it.
The only moral to be drawn is to increase our
fire prevention activities. Americans are re-
garded as reckless by Europeans, who are genu-
nely appalled, at our annual fire losses. So long
as we continue to invite disaster by accumulat-
ing combustibles in our homes and buildings, and
carelessly throw cigar and cigarette ends into
corners and on floors, our buildings will keep on
going up in smoke
The remedy is not far to find. More vigil
ance and more care in removing potential causes
of fires will quickly bring down the fire loss.
It is hard to visualize $198,000,000, but even
the most stupid of us know that it is an enor-
nous sum of money to represent an economic
loss that cannot be replaced.
If the country were to raise that sum of
money for building program, most of us would
look upon it as worthy undertaking, and yet
through our own negligence, we permit buildings
representing that sum to be wiped out in seven
months.

We Are Making a Start

We are slowly acquiring the habit of thrift,
says Orrin G. Lester acting director of the
division of savings, treasury department. He
bases his judgment on the per capita holdings of
outstanding war savings securities, which
amount to $6.40 for continental United States.
Long regarded as the spendthrift nation of
the world, his report will both help deny the
accusation and reflect a growing tendency of
saving for useful purchases.
''It has raised substantial amount for the
government" he said. '1t has popularized the
investment of small savings in government Sc
curities. 1t has helped to cree a national sen.
timent for thrift. No element has contributed
more to the practical application of sound thrift
principles in America than have government
savings securities. These small securities have
been the means of starting thousands of people
to saving money who had never saved before.

Most guinea ralserS allow their
breeding stock free range Of the entire
farm at all times, and this helps to
keep the birds strong and vigorous.
During the winter the breeders should
have been fed grain mixture OF corn,
wheat and oats twice day, and where
no green feed was available, Vese-
tables, such as potatoes, turn1ps, beets
and cabbage. Animal feed is essen
tial to best results and can be supplied
by feeding meat scrap or SKINNED
milk. Given free range, where the sup
ply Of natural feed during the win
ter and early spring are ample, as 1t
usually is In the southern portion OF
the United States, the guineas can be
left to pick up q considerable part OF
their feed, say poultry specialists OF
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Free access to grit, charcoal,
and oyster shell Is necessary through
out the breeding season. Avoid hay
ing the breeders too fat but keep them
in good, firm flesh.
Like quail and most other wild birds,
guinea fowls in their wild state mate
in pairs, and this tendency prevails
among domesticated guineas, also, pro-
yided the males and females are equal
In number AS the breeding season
approaches, one pair after another sep
arates from the remainder Of the flock
and ranges off In the fields In search
of a suitable nesting place. Once
mated this way, the male usually re-
mains with his mate throughout the
laying season, standing guard some
where near the nest while the hen Is
laying, and ready to warn her of any
approaching danger.
However, it is not necessary~to mate
them in pairs under domestic condi-
tons to secure fertile eggs, and most
breeders keep but one male for every
three or four females. When mated in
this way the hens are more apt to lay
near home, and several usually lay
in the same nest, thus making it much
easier to find the nests and gather the
eggs.

CARING FOR GROWING CHICKS
Essentials to Best Growth are oooo
Coops, Cleanliness, Feed, Water

prepared by the United States Depart-
rnent OF Agricultural
The care Of growing chicks, especiai-
" during warm weather, is most I'M
portant, say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Every boy Or girl member Of a poul-
try club should give them the best
of attention if success is to be had.
The baby chicks may be smart little
fellows from strong, vigorous parent
stock, and they may have been brood
ed carefully for the first two or three
weeks, but unless they receive proper
care and management during their
later growing period they will not
develop properly, and many OF them
will be lost through disease or SICK
ness. The chief essentials to proper
growth are good coops or houses
cleanliness, proper feed and water
shade, and free range.
Every coop or poultry house used
for growing chicks should be kept
clean at all times. Sickness Or disease
starts usually in unclean quarters, ana
in such places lice and mites are al
