Cially brilliant Hearts are in white,

HAsTENs BETTER TIMES

Few things tend to hasten the re-
turn to better times more than the
building industry" says a recent bull
letin of the United States Chamber of
Commerce. Things used in the build
ing Of dwelling houses call upon viz
tually all Of the industries of the coun-
try for their products. A general and
far-rcaching construction program in
this country in 1922 is the best posi-
BILE harbinger of a return 10 more
prosperous conditions"
There is in truth no more reliable
barometer of public confidence and
general business conditions than the
building industry, according to DIR,
Wilson Compton, manager of the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers asso-
citation, who is, perhaps. the most au-
thoritative spokesman for the build
ing industry in America. Everybody
profits when new house is built"
says pr. Compton, 1t furnishes busi-
ness for the real estate man, it imme-
diately eNerts a stabili2iDE influence
upon neighborhood land values. Every
new home means employment for
workmen and business for the brick,
stone, lumber, hardware and paint
dealers, rejecting back to manufac-
turers and the railroads. 1t means
selling furniture, draperies, wall paper,
kitchen utensils ana baby buggies. 1t
means more business for the daily
newspapers, the banks and the de-
partment stores. The home supports
the churches and schools and the
great public utilities that make mod
ern life luxury So that 1t is no
mere figure Of speech 70 say. building
calls upon virtually all the industries
or the country for their products. Ev-
cry nerve and fibre of American life
is fed and stimulated by building, and
another stone is placed in the bulwark
OF social security with every home
erected for our people"

INSECTS

Cabbage has little bearing on health
! except in so far as it affords q breed
| ing place for flies but since it breeds
more flies than any other one thing
except the manure pile and since flies
/ are very dangerous germ carriers, the
prompt and careful disposal of gar
| bage is an important health measure.
| Flies, reaches and other scaVenging
insects carry disease germs on their
| feet and thus infect any food on which
| they happen to walk. Typhoid, cholera,
dysenterry and other diseases have
! been carried by flies, which are al
ways a menace that should not be toll
Grated. Aside from the danger of dis
ease, moreover, the thought of their
coming to food directly from the ma
nure pile and privy vaults is disgust
ing. Houses should be thoroughly
screened against flies in the season,
and further precautions should be
taken to destroy the nuisance at its
source.
Since the chief breeding places Of
flies are garbage cans and manure
piles, especial attention should be paid
to them. If the garbage can is water
tight, closely covered, frequently
emptied and thoroughly cleaned, flies
will not develop in it, since about
ten days must elapse from the time
when the egg is laid until the insect
is ready to fly. Fly traps to fit on
the garbage can are useful. Manure
should be screened and removed fire.
auentIy, or it can be treated chemi-
caIy. Where privies are used, every
effort should be made, by screening
mad in other ways, to keep flies away
from them also.
Other diseases carried by insects
other than flies are malaria and yell
low fever, each of which is carried by
a special species OF mosquito; typhus
fever, carried by lice; and bubonic
plague, which is carried by rat fleas.
Various diseases less common in this
country are carried by other insects.
All possible precautions should be
taken against mosquitoes, as even
when they are not carrying disease
germs their bites may be harmful.
These bites sting and are often rubbed,
especially by children. until the skin is
broken. and various infections may
enter through the wounds.
Too much care cannot be taken 70
prevent tnsecta Of every kind, rats,
mice and vermtn from getting into
houses. and if the yget In. = constant
fight against them should be waged

LAST DAY OF HUNTING SEASON

January 81 is the last day on which
wild ducks and geese, coots, gallinules
and Wilson snipe or jacksnipe may be
hunted anywhere in the United States
under the federal law which prescribes
seasons on migratory game birds. This
law, which is administered by the bu
reau of illogical survey of the United
States department of agriculture. pro-
vides, however, that the carcasses of
birds killed during the open season
may he possessed for an additional
period of 10 days following the end of
the season if state or local laws do not
prohloit it. The possession of car
casses of birds killed during the open
season may be possessed for an ad-
ditional period of ten days following
the end of the season if state or To-
cal laws do not prohibit it. The pos
session of carcasses OF wild ducks,
geese and other migratory game. birds
in cold storage plants after February
10 renders the owners subject to pros
ecution in the federal courts.

Recently the first automatic substa-
tion ever installed in q mine was
placed in operation at Nant-y-GIo, Pa,
a mining center near Johnstown. An
automatic substation may not seem
such a wonderful mechanism to the
Iayman at first glance but an insight
into it's working probably will obtain
for it n generous share of glory
A substation anywhere is installed
for the purpose of feeding additional
power into an electric circuit should
the voltage become too low for the
work required. For instance, if a street
car system suddenly desires to operate
Il greater number Of cars than usual
on any one line, more voltage is re
quired as the normal voltage is not
enough to take care of all the hun
cry street car motors eating up power
at the same time. The voltage drops
and more power is necessary. So to
guard against q contingency substa-
lions are installed along power lines
to feed or boost the lines, much as
pumps are placed along a water line
which travels a long distance in order
to keep the current at the proper vol
tage.
Usually onerators are reauired at the
substation to watch the meters and
when it is seen that the current needs
boosting, throw in the extra generators
to feed tho line Tba automatic sub-
station does This without OPERATORS
which is what makes if such = wonder
full mechanism.
