SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL ERA

Wireless is of great practical i'm
portance. It facilitates slaughter in
war, the dissemination Of journalistic
falsehood in time Of peace, and the
broadcasting of trivialties to relieve
the tedium of evening hours not de-
voted to success. But the men who
made it possible-Faraday, Maxwell
and Hertz-were none of them the
least interested in furthering this re-
markable enrichment Of human life;
they were men solely interested in
trying to understand physical proc
esses, and it can hardly be said that
the existence Of industrialism helped
them even indirectly The modern
study Of the structure Of the atom
may have a profound effect upon in
dustrial processes, but those who are
engaged upon it are very little inter
ested in this possible future effect Of
their work. It seems likely that the
utilitarianism Of commercial indus.
try must ultimately kill the pure de-
sire for knowledge just as it kills
the very analogous artistic impulse.
In America, where the more utilita-
rian aspects of science are keenly ap-
preciated, no great advance In pure
theory has been made. None OF the
fundamental discoveries upon which
practical applications depend have
been made in America-The Dial.

BUFFALO BROUGHT I'M FROM
WAINWRIGHT PARK, ALBERTA

Eight thousand American buffalo
have been rounded up in Alberta, by
Ince's technicians and the Canadian
park force, assisted by several hun
dred Cree Indians, for the filming
Of Thomas H. Ince's film, "The Last
Frontier" The herd has been
brought from the hills and ravines
Of the Wainwright National Park.
The sleepy little town of Vain
wright has been transformed over
night to a scene Of bustling frontier
life. Men and women, dressed in the
fashions of the SOS, crowd the
streets of the town. The Indians
have erected a tepee encampment,
while the whites" have quarters in
hurriedly built bunkhouses. Cana
dian visitors, curious to see what is
going on, swell the throng.
Straying over the vast Wainwright
Park, an original herd of bison has
increased so rapidly that forage is
becoming scarce, and j. B. Harkin
commissioner Of Dominion parks, has
been forced to order the slaughter
of 1000 buffalo bulls this fall. Hear
ing of this, Thomas H. Ince realized
that now was the opportunity Of a
lifetime to obtain some remarkable
scenes for the films, and sent agents
north to make arrangements. Ince
was granted exclusive rights from
the Canadian government to film the
scenes for his production, and the
films will make a pretentious educa-
tional and scenic picture for use of
the Dominion government. The un-
dertaking is one Of the most rem ark
able in the history of the film indus
try. "The Last Frontier" is a novel
Of Western development, by Court
ney Ryley Cooper, one of Americas
best known writer's of fiction.

Road Construction Shows Gain

That the construction of modern
automobile roads and paved streets
in this country is gaining in volume
year by year is shown by statistics
just announced by Highways Infor-
nation Service, New York. The
figures show also that highway con-
tracts awarded during the second
half of the year average in volume
only about rs per cent less than
those let during the first half and
that there is not month of the
year in which a large amount Of con-
struction placed is not under con-
tract.
In 1920 a total of $530,S4S,OOO in
new road construction was awarded
in this country. In 1921 the amount
was $630,712,000, an increase of 500,
864,oOO over 1920. Last year con-
tracts were awarded to the amount
of $6e9, $4,000, an increase Of $685.
10000 over 1921 and $138,380,000
over 1920. From January 1 to June
1, this year, a total of $384,774,000
was placed under contract. AT this
rate new highways for which con-
tracts will be let during 1923 will
cost approximately $794,O00,000, a
gain Of about $125,O00,OO0 over 1922.
About s1,25O,oOoooO, all told, for
federal, state, county, district, town
ship and city highway construction
and maintenance will be expended
this year. The federal and state
appropriations for state highways
alone total sSOO,OOo,o00, the city and
town appropriations for streets and
roads total $685., 100000, and the
remainder represents the funds to
be expended by the counties, pa
rishes, road districts and townships.

BETTER TO LOSE WEIGHT AFTER 40

y AIMING weight after the age
NJ of forty means decreasing the
number of years the average man

the slim people have the best chance

Willis said. "The slim man, who

A Litter Of Pigs Makes
Nearly Two Tens Weight

With an official weight of 3.S98h
pounds for litter Of IL Duroc-Jersey
pigs, Texas claims to hold the
worlds record for tonnage OF litter
produced by one SOW and for aver
age weight per pig in six months
time. The litter was weighed Sep
TENDER 1, when 1870 days old, under
the supervision of A. L. Ward, swine
specialist of Texas A. &c M. College,
and officials of the McLennan Coun-
ty Farm Bureau. The pigs averaged
324.9 pounds per head and made a
daily gain of 1.8 pounds from birth.
The last 20 days the daily gain was
3R pounds for each pig.
The champion litter was bred and
raised by Victor Hill OF Chalk Bluff,
McLennan County, Texas. There
were Ia pigs in the litter when Tar
rowed March s.. Twelve pigs were
raised.
The total value of feed including
pasture necessary to produce the lit
ter was $229.84, making the cost Of
each 100 pounds $3.50. The pigs
will be sold for breeding stock, but
as they were worth 81 cents per
pound on the market the day weighed
they made net profit OF $140.51.
The litter consumed 1896 pounds OF
skim milk, 5,420 pounds OF corn
feed meal, 2,100 pounds Of pig chow
and 200 pounds OF corn. They had
the run Of an 18-acre Bermuda grass
pasture with shade.

A striking modern example, with
the necessary twentieth century vari-
atoms, of turning the sword into the
ploughshare, has been given during
the past few years by the. government
and private manufacturers. They
have taken millions of pounds of pic
ric acid, smokeless powder, soda aud
trinitrotoluol left over from the war
and have transformed them into com
mercial explosives for use in agricul-
tural work and road building. Near
ly all of them have had to be sub
jected to some modification, have
had to be remanufaetured, mixe.i
with other ingredients and then car
tridged, but they have been used
widely in various parts of the coun-
try to help out in the peacetime
work of the, farms. Sodatol is the
latest of these, and the announce
ment that 100000 pounds of it
were ready for distribution by the
government has just been made.
Sodatol is a high explosive made by
mixing trintrotoluene, the famous
INT of war days, and sodium, nj
trate 1t is prepared for use in
double-dipped paraffined cartridges
weighing about seven ounces. INT
was widely used by all the combat
ants during the war. 1t IVES regard
ed in military sense as an ideal
explosive because of it's great powerx
and the safety in handling it, due to,
it's insensitiveness. Millions Of
pounds of it were used in demolish-
ing trenches and in attacks on forti-
fed places. Sodatol is more sensi-
tive than INT, but it is stated there
is no danger in handling it provided
the ordinary care used in handling
dynamite or other explosives is en-
ployed.
Used on Roads
Smokeless powder, manufactured
for use by the armies, is another
explosive which, instead of being al
lowed to go to waste, was made into
and is being used today in all kinds
of agricultural work, road building,
boulder blasting and other activities.

Increases Output

The possibility of any letup In the
production of telephone apparatus re-
quired to continue the expansion OF
the country's communicating system
seems out OF the question for years
to come, according to executives OF
the Western Electric Company. In
stead of easing UP, the demands for
new equipment continue to grow at
such a rate that the works manage
ment is finding itself forced to ex-
treme measures to live up to Its
output schedules.
The production Of telephone trans
mitters this year, 1t Is pointed out,
will exceed 1,500,000--an increase OF
almost 40 per cent over the record
output OF year ago. The trans
mitter Is one Of the most important
parts of the subscribers telephone
Increased deliveries in all the other
branches of telephone equipment are
also being recorded at Hawthorne.

Var Materials Turned
Into Farm Explosives

was ground up and certain amount
of other explosives added. The mix-
lures were tested, in innumerable
ways. Batch after batch was made
up to find the right combination-as
many as 400 experimental mixtures
were prepared and tried, 20 separate
formulas were processed, and ap-
proximately $4,000 test shots were
made to determine its action under
varying conditions, before dumorite
as the new combination explosive
was named, was made available for
peacetime uses. Millions of pounds
of it have been used throughout the
country for explosive purposes. DUN

tiles which highly recommend it to
many explosives users. 1t cannot
freeze and it will not give head
aches. These two drawbacks have
characterized the use of certain dy.

the largest Of the explosives manu-
featuring companies has devised a
new formula whereby all it's dyna-
mites are manufactured on a low
freezing basis, which makes it pos.
sible to use them under severe cold
weather conditions and also does
away with the danger of thawing.
which was serious peril when I'M

the proper way to do 1t.
Utilize Picric Acid
Picric acid is another explosive,
manufactured for the destructive pur
poses of war, and which has been
turned, in large quantities, to the
constructive arts of peace. Some
thing like 100000 pounds Of 1t
have already been distributed In the
various states. 1t has also served
it's turn in blowing stumps, blasting
field rocks, helping to build roads
and in other work for which 1t could
be used. For wartime purposes It
was a highly SCATTERING explosive,
used in shells. In England 1t was
known as lyddite; in France as
melinite. Hundreds Of barrage fires,
formed OF picric acid shells, were
laid down in the late war. The same
shattering and disruptive strength
has, as in the case Of other war e1.
plosives, been harnessed for agri-
cultural purposes.

Bracelets are favored by women Of

The favored type is the flexible band
Of diamonds and platinum, diamonds
combined with sapphires, or set off
with onyx.
A small hat covered with wide
MORE ribbon in Rameses blue which
terminates on the left side in a

ribbon rosebuds. Another garden
hat is OF white crepe, slit to allow
a trimming of black velvet ribbon
to cross the crown and form loops
and ends at the sides. Streamers
and band Of canary yellow velvet
ribbon are the only adornment on
big picture hat of white chiffon.

ere Cartier, international authority
on the art Of jewelry
Five different kinds OF snap-on
trimmings may be applied to the
same hat. Either small cloche
shape or large mushroom Is good,
though the trimmings may be ap-
piled to any shape whatever.
One trimming consists of three
wheel ornaments made of ribbon and
attached to a band of ribbon which
eliminates in a semi-tailored bow.
Snaps are fastened to this trimming
on the under side to correspond with
snaps that have been sewn to the
hat so that all mlady has to do is
to look over her array of ribbon
trimmings and choose the one that
matches her costume and snap it on
to her hat When new costume is
worn she merely unsnaps this trim
ming, chooses another and applies 1t
in the same way.
Every kind of wild animal in cap
tivity is displayed in the handsome
wraps of the season-mole skins, sa-
BILE, mink, fox, and ermine being
conspicuously present. The feature
Of these elaborate fur coats Is not
apparent until the coat swings back,
showing the elaborate amount of rib
bon embroidery that adorns the lin
ing. Contrary to last years wraps,
the Innings themselves are not so
brilliant, but are more ornate than
ever before, because of the intricate
and elaborate ribbon trimming.
