MULE Is SUPREME
American Animal Makes High Eff
cheney Test In Armenia

Erivan, September 4.-[Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press J
The American mule is 2.06 times
as efficient at the Armenian OK, and
2.6S times as efficient as the Caucas-
ian horse, according to figures re-
ported by the American farming ex-
perts of the agricultural program of
the Near East in the Caucasus.
These computations are made on
a cost efficiency basis taking into
consideration capital investment,
upkeep, length of service, and
amount of work accomplished. The
mule beats even the tractor in small
farming operations, but farms of
more than 500 acres bring down
tractor costs per unit of work done
to a basis below that of the mule.
American mules were introduced
here about year ago. American re-
lief organizations now use 800 of
these animals on their various agri-
cultural relief projects. Plans for
the breeding of the American type
mule on Armenian soil will be
shortly carried into effect in north :
err Armenia.

KEEP EYE ON FURNACE
How To Safeguard Against Fires;
Expert Makes SUGGESTION.

Expert Makes Suggestion.
In the fall and early winter spec
ial attention should be paid to stove
pipes, furnace pipes, smoke vents
and fiues. Where these are of metal
they frequently rust, come apart or
deteriorate during the summer, ano
when fires are started up in the fall,
or they are put to severe test dur
ing the first very cold weather, a
blaze is likely to result. Now that
fire prevention and safety first have
become national slogans, the i'm :
portaace of careful supervision OF
heating apparatus. and flues should
be recognized by every good citizen,
and thorough inspection should
always pTecede the first use of heat
ing apparatus. ~~.. -.E a.
T There is special need of unusually
careful attention to fiues, smoke
pipes and heating apparatus gener-
ally this season, because OF the alb
normal fuel conditions. Millions of
householders will be compelled to
use soft coal who have heretofore
used hard coal, and the change will
necessarily introduce many serious
fire hazards, unless great care is
taken to see that fues and smoke
pipes are kept clear and that proper
safeguards are provided for the 9th :
er dangers which will develop.
Fires due to faulty furnace pipes
and smoke pipes have been unusu-
ually numerous this season, especi-
ally where there was dampness.
Where the surface was already cor
roded by the heat fumes, the damp
ness soon rusted the metal so that
a pipe which looked all right on the
outside would collapse with the
slightest strain. The danger of such
pipes in easements, often near
wooden partitions land ceilings, is
evident, but only an inspection
would reveal the interior weakness.
These warnings should be espec-
tally emphatic as to dwellings, for
basement fires are apt to get under
dangerous Roadway before they
are discovered, and when they &C.
cur at night life as we'll as proper
ty is endangered. Special attention
should also be paid to furnace pipes
and smoke vents in churches and
schools, because of the large mum
bers of people whose lives are at
risk School boards and church trus-
tees, working on the theory of per-
sonal responsibility for preventable
fires, should pay special attention to
these danger points, and ii neces :
sary, the metal smoke pipes leading
from the furnace to the chimney
should be replaced each year TO in
sure safety. An ounce of fire pre-
vention is worth a pound of fire ex-
tinguished.

National Campaign StOeeps
u. S. for 100000 Scouts

In the coo cities and communities
where there is a first class council
Of the Boy Scouts of America, and
in the literally thousands OF other
districts whore there are either sec
ond class councils or lone scout
troops not under councils, there Is
going on at this time a great CON
certed organized effort to MAKE the
benefits Of the scout program reach
an increase of 25 per cent, or 100. Oc0
more boys, by February. In that
month, from the Sth to the 18th.
there Will be celebrated anniversary
week. which denotes the 18th birth
day OF scouting in this country. L
is sincerely hoped that there viii be
a larger membership than ever be-
fore. namely, half q million at that
time. Communications and reports
are pointing 20 success. The latest
reports show that. although the
roundup has only been IN progress
for less than a month, over $4,000
new members have already been
pledged Scout authorities from
Oakland, California, say. I'VE have
set as our goal an increase Ct 1000
scouts and % new troops. &C.. Count
upon our most hearty cooperation"
Word comes from Saginaw Mich:

the enthusiastic wires and reports
that are constantly rolling into
National Council Office at New York
City. The increase in membership
Of scouts is largely dependent upon
the most important factor, which IS
