THE PRINTED WORD

Does anyone know how many
newspapers, magazines, pamphlets
and books are published each year
in the United States?-o more inter
esting still, how many printed words
are used in all the publications? I'm
doubtedly the magnitude of them
would be so astonishing that our i'm
aginations would fail us in trying ID
grasp their number There is no ques
ton, that the readers of today vastly
outnumber those of fifty years ago.
The newspaper, especially, spreads
the printed word so thoroughly that
almost every man and woman uncon-
sciously considers it a necessary part
of everyday life. ..
This remarkable increase in read
ing has grown with the art of artifi-
cial illumination. When in 1882, for
ty-one years ago, the first electric
lamps, giving murky, yellow light, be-
gan to displace the old-time, feeble
gas lamps and still feebler kerosene
lights, an epoch in world progress
was formed. Here was light switch
ed on without a match and a light
giving promise Of almost illimitable
development In brilliancy, efficiency
and utility. Every avenue of life has
felt. the influence, and the impulse to
read has increased since that time in
an unprecedented degree. The de-
velopment Of the electric light has
been the means Of enlightenment -
the world, in more than one way.

ceptacles. Be careful in discarding
lighted matches.
Countless fires have been caused
| by leaving electric irons with the
current on; disconnect them at the
socket Immediately when through US
ing.
| Ashes, whether inside or outside Of
the house, should be placed in metal
receptacles.
Combustible rubbish should not be
allowed to accumulate. If rubbish is
burned out-of-doors, start the fires a
safe distance from buildings and new
er light them on windy days. Keep
children away.
Rags or clothes used in oiling
floors or polishing furniture often Ig-
mite spontaneously; they should be
stored in metal containers or else
burned after using.
Removal of paint with a torch is
dangerous; use a liquid paint remov-
err.
If kerosene lamps are used, keep
them clean and we'll filled, or those
allowed to burn with little oil in them
are liable to explode. Filling should
be done in daylight; never when a
lamp is lighted.
Washing material with gasoline is
highly hazardous, for agitation is
liable to produce spark of static
electricity which will ignite the vapor
from the liquid. If gasoline or nap
tina is used for cleaning spots from
clothing or upholstery, the work
should be done in the open or at
least in front Of an open door, dis
tant from fire or open flames. Bet
ter still, employ carbon tetrachlor-
ide which is safe; the fluid may be
procured at any druggists.
Screen all fire-places in which a
fire is burning.
Hanging electric light cords on
nails or hooks is almost certain in
time to destroy or injure the insula-
ton; this condition may cause fire.
Clothes should not be hung too
close to hot stoves or stove pipes.
Use an electric torch when explor-
Ing a dark closet.
Frozen water pipes are safely thaw- |
ed by wrapping them in cotton cloths
kept saturated with hot water.

WIRING OF COTTON GINS
REDUCES LOSSES BY

|
Investigations by the United De-
partment of Agriculture have shown
that a great many of the fires in cot
ton gins, which in some seasons cause
losses in excess Of million dollars,
are caused by static electricity which
collects in certain parts Of the ma
chinery as a result of friction. There
are other causes, such as matches in
the cotton, overheated bearings, fric-
ton between the saws and cotton
stuck in the ribs and sparks caused
by pieces of metal and other foreign
particles passing through, but static
electricity Is an important cause and
one which may be controlled.
II certain parts Of the machinery IN
the gin are grounded by proper wir-
ing any electricity will be drained Off
and no sparks will be formed The
Department Of Agriculture has IS
sued circular, No. 271, in which the
system Of wiring is explained and
shown in diagram.
The effectiveness Of proper
grounding system is now recognized
by insurance companies In the South.
The rating schedule for gins In Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima. Georgia, Florida, Alabama and
Louisiana carries an added charge CT
25 cents for each 500 for gins not |
grounded. Some mutual COM
panies insuring gins in Texas give a
15-cent credit on each 500 for gins
grounded effectively.

President Ebert's Choice Offends
Nationalists, But Financial
Experts Are Pleased.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, December 25.-President
Eberts confirmation of DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht as president Of the Reichs-
bank to succeed the late Rudolph
iiavenstein is being violently op-
posed by the nationalistic newspapers.
which are chagrined over the failure
OF DR.. Karl Helfferich, former secre-
tary Of the imperial treasury, to OBJ
tain the coveted post. The newspapers
now charge that DR.. Schacht's selec-
tion constitutes an outspoken politi-
cal appointment which is in contra
Nention of the Reichsbank's autono-
nous character.
The new incumbent, however, meets
with friendly reception by the
financial writer's, who point out that
his advent at the head of the semi
official institution indicates a break
with the traditional procedure by
winch presidents OF the reichsbank
formerly invariably We're sought
among the bureaucracy. DIR. Schacht
graduated from journalism into the
banking business. Despite his COM
paratlve youth-he is forty-siX years
old-he is accepted as a distinguis she'd
authorlty on questions of currency
reform DR.. Schacht is an avowed
champion of a gold-supported ma
uonal currency. He will retain his
former position OF federal currency
commissioner.
Belated returns by the reichbank
covering the latter half OF November
reveal an addition of three hundred
ana seven septillion marks in new
currency; The continued imitation is
explained on the ground that the
reichsbank was called on to absorb
unlimited issues of divers emergency
currency OF local origin.

PRINCESS MARY'S SON
OUTSIDE ROYAL LINE
Official Register Makes Grandson of
Britain's King Plain
Conlmoner
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 25.-Ever since
Princess Mary's son and heir came
into the world last winter there has
been much speculation as to whether
he is a plain commoner or a prince
of the, royal blood. But the specula-
ton is ended. and England now
knows that the kings grandson is
not prince OF the royal blood, but
simply the Hon. Henry Hubert Las
celles, or Master Lascelles'' for
short
This decisive information is con-
veyed by the 1924 Debrett. the un-
questioned guide to the genealogy of
royalty and the more mellow aristo-
cracy of the kingdom.
The new issue says that a royal
warrant OF December IL. 1917, de-
bars young Lascelles from being a
royal prince. The warrant asserts
that none but children of the sons
of the sovereign and the eldest liv-
ing son of the Prince of Wales shall
have and hold the style, title and at
tribute of royal highness with titular
dignity of prince and princess"
The warrant does not mention
grandchildren of the king who may
be children of the monarch's daugh-
ters.
