MATTER OF OXYGEN SUPPLY
Why Heated Objects Are of Varying
Color Is a Matter of Simple
Explanation.

The color Of a heated object de-
pends largely upon the temperature to
which it is subjected. When, for ex-
ample, a poker is placed in a fire, it
will first turn dull red, then a bright
red, and finally glaring white.
The same principle applies to a
fame, the outside of which is far hot
ter than the inside, and, in conse-
quence, gives off a brighter light. This
difference In temperature is due to the
fact that only the outer portion of the
flame comes In contact with the oxy-
gen of the air, while the inner part
has to be content with the small
amount of this inf1ammable gas which
reaches 1t still unconsumed.
The heat Is greatest where combus-
ton is fastest and most complete, and
it is for this reason that the outer part
Of flame is bright yellow while the
interior is dull blue.

February Farm Bureau Meetings.

A series of important meetings is
being planned by the Farm Bureau
for the week of February 18th 18th,
at which Miss Lydia M. Potter, state
Home Economic specialist, and Mr..
H. p. Young, state Farm Manage
ment specialist, will be present and
help with the program. Miss Pot
ter's work with the women will be
along the line of dressmaking, nutri-
tion and organization. In view of the
fact that the county is soon to have
a full time home demonstration agent
Miss Potter will, endeavor to sound
out the interest in women's work in
the different communities and locate
temporary leaders to whom the new
agent may look for assistance in get
ting her work started.
Mr.. Young in his work the coming
week will talk particularly on the
cost of producing maple sugar and
syrup and the factors affecting the
same. An extra effort will be made
to get more farmers to conduct their
operations on a businesslike basis
and know where they stand from one
year to the other, what it costs to
produce various products and what
returns they actually receive for
their years work.
"A representative from the U. S.
Veterans Bureau of Boston will also
be present at some of the meetings
and talk on the rehabilitation work
of our disabled soldiers, their ability
as farm laborers and the extent to
which they are available.

Both Animal and Bird.

One of the strangest animals known
the river banks of Australia and Tas-
mania. 1t resembles both an animal
and a bird in that its body and tail
are like those of beaver, while its
web feet and bill remind one of
duck. 1t has teeth for chewing It's
food. but II has no external ear, al
though its hearing is acute. IT laws
eggs like turtle. but suckles its
young. A specimen of the animal has
been placed on exhibition In the Ma
tional museum. Washington.

rolls Of bills-mostly Michigan bank

nerve-racking work There are perhaps
twenty-five prosperous looking men in the
room-all being what the movie people
would call extras.
Mr.. X is duly impressed He is told
that this is a private club where wealthy
men like to bet Mr.. KS new friend is at
his side, as nc has been constantly since
leaving Xenia. His sure thing is an
affair of the racetrsck. Just to show his
infallibiity, he slips Mr.. X 500 and tells
him to bet on a certain horse. In few
minutes that horse is posted as a winner.
Mr.. Y, as winner Of 5-tO-1 shot, rakes in

that a business man from Xenia is no

says Kelly. Il told you TO put your money
on Wahoo for place. You played him for
a winner. thought you understood rae
ing terms better than that
Again Mr. KS pride is hurt He goes
back TO the "club" the next night de-
termined to get revenge, which is exactly
the spirit that is required. All this talk
about gamblers letting a man win first to
keep him coming along is foolshness. The
best spur is a quick loss right at the start.
A man who has lost is usually not himself
mentally. He will take desperate chances
in the hope Of getting back what is gone.
From this on the tragedy Of Mr. Y, Of
Xenia. hastens rapidly to its conclusion.
The sucker is hooked so he cannot get
away. He has justified the glowing pros
pectus sent out by the local tipster who
told the big-time gamblers about him and
who is waiting for his share of the pay
off,
Mr.. X cuts deeply into his bank account
at home. He walks into the "cubr with
all his fortune in his pocket-perhaps
$4,000 or $4,000; perhaps two or three
times the larger sum mentioned. II all
depends on how much money he has avail
able And the gang, which has looked up
his commercial rating at the outset, knows
just how far he can be trifed with and
just how many thousands they should be
able TO count on as the ultimate contribu-
tion Of Mr.. X 10 the wire-tapping institu-
tion.
Perhaps Mr.. is told to bet s25, 900 OF
his final roll on a sure thing. This time
he makes no technical error in which race
track phraseology may cause him to be a
financial loser. He comes back from the
cashiers cage a winner by $4,000. He
meets his friend Kelly, who is fer once
shaken out of his customary reserve,
owing to excitement over the greatest Of
tips.
"The most wonderful tip I've ever had
in all my life!" whispers Kelly hoarsely.
"Play It to your last dSIlar. How much

as a good prospect. The "tI tI
tipping is done to the I'LL
wire-tapping syndicate @
leaders in New York. E14
The "steerer," as the lNHA
local crook is called, w
is told that he will get NntI
the usual commission
on whatever is taken from Mr.. X, but he
must pay half the expenses of the prospect
on a trip to New York and for another
steerer's visit to Xena The gang is
willing to put up the other half of the ex-
pense, but that is all the faith the gang
sters will show in the local swindler's tip
concerning Mr.. X.
Generally the local swindler has not the
nerve TO do the introducing himself when
it comes to getting Mr. X acquainted with
the wire-tapping gang. Mr.. X, after be
ing swindled would drive the loesl tipster
out of town, but this is avoided as follows;
Mr.. X is called upon in his Office by
stranger-well dressed and sophisticated.
The stranger mentions the name of the
local tipster, Jim Smith, perhaps.

stranger, shut he is out Of town re-
member him mentioning your name as

money4making way-a sure thing. Not
being able to find him, remembered you
and thought I'd call and tell you about
this thing. You'll do just as we'll as Smith
if you care to come in"
Mr.. KS curiosity is aroused Also
Smith has cleared his own skirts. Smith
can disavow all responsibility for what
happens later. Yet his name has served
an Introductory purpose in a perfectly
safe way.
The upshot of the matter is that the
New York steerer-half of whose expenses
to Xenia are being paid by Smith-takes
Mr.. X to New York. Half Of Mr.. KS
expenses to the big town are also being
borne by Smith, but, of course, Mr.. x
doesn't know that, either. He thinks his
new friend is paying for the delightful
journey.
On his arrival Mr. K is promptly tested.
He is taken to a room which is fixed up
like a poolroom. To all appearances il is
