costs Ls.s to Keep Clean.

More than 100000 deaths and ovel
100000 cases Of serious Illness an
nually are ascribed by Federal and
State health reports to needlessly un-
sanitary conditions. 1t is an amaz-
ing fact that most Of this needless
lack of sanitation Is found, not In
the cities, but among the rural and
small-town population.
Yet wholly sanitary conditions may
be brought about In the country just as
quickly and easily as in the city. The
actual expenditure involved is very
small, especially when you consider
how much the family's health will be
improved as a result 1t will assure
also, Of course, q great improvement
In comfort.
Septic tanks. privy vaults, protec-
ton for domestic water supplies, rat

be provided for little cost and lit
tie work by any man. Full directions

STOCK
Problem Sheets to Aid
Feeders of Live Stock

prepared BY the United States Department
of AGhculturs.)
In connection with a plan for the
better feeding of live stock, conducted
by various states and the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
department Ii now distributing to
county agents and extension workers
of cooperating states copies of the
new feeding problem sheets which ID
the basis of the work. This sheet, at
tractively printed in red and black, has
been designed for the convenience OF
live stock feeders who desire expert
assistance In feeding problems. 1t
provides for a brief outline of the
problem and other information related
to 1t, including what the farmer has
already done to solve this problem.
There ID q space for comments and rec
concentrations Of the county agent.
The information desired Is then fur
nished by the state agricultural col
lege, to which the blank is sent, or, at
the option of the state extension d.
rector, by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The state will
in most cases answer questions relat-
ing to conditions in the state, while
the department will give information
on problems Of a more general charac-
ter or those on which the department
is conducting special Investigations.
The better feeding Of live stock
service has been developed in response
to a popular demand, and 1t Is be-
lieved, will not only facilitate CORE
spondence on feeding questions, but
will make possible more explicit re-
plies by state and federal experts be-
cause of the information contained on
the feeding problem sheets.
With each reply to feeding problems
answered by the department there
goes a return post card on which q
person given Information Is asked to
report the results obtained. Replies
received thus far have all indicated
either entire. success or Improvement.
The follow-up system thus leaves
nothing to chance and places the fu-
ture development Of the service on
basis.
The department is already analyz-
ng the various problems submitted
and will issue from time to time state
nents on results.

Variometer Stators
Nav Be Easily Made

A simple way of making the Otter
coil of variometer so that the wind
ing is opposite the rotating ball is de-
scribed below.
Fig. 1 is the molder. It consists OF
half ball cut out at one end so that
a plug will fit in.
Fig. 2 shows both pieces fitted TO-
gether ready for winding. This Is
wound with suitable wire and then
covered with mixture of sealing wax
and rosin, on the wire, so that II will
hold the wires together. When the
mixture has hardened, the end plug Is
taken out and the winding Is pulled
of, as in Fig. 8.
Two Of these windings 60 with 4

just deep enough to cover it. The coil

Demand for Sharks Fins.

The demand for shark fins is always
greater than the supply, and they fetch
high price. The principal American
able quantities are consumed by the
Chinese of the Pacific coast, but most
of them are exported to China, where
shark-fin soup Is regarded as one of
the greatest OF all delicacies. The
fms should be at least six inches long !;
those of eight inches are preferred.
The flesh should be trimmed off them,
after which they should be dried thor
rughly in the sun without salt.

SAM JONES GOES IN HALL OF FAME WITH NO-HIT GAME

Samuel Pon Jones, the Yankees right-hander, achieved immortality Tuesday when he pitched no-run. no-hit game against the Athletics. Incidentally, he helped his team to its third straight victory of the cur rent series. The score was to 0. Whitey Wits single with two men on in the third gave the Tanks their runs.
 samuers entrance to bnsebalrs hall of fame was mlcroscopically marred by an error by Everett Scott and a base on balls.
 It was the first no-hit, no-run game in the major leagues this sea- son. Charley Robertson of the White Sox did 1t last ip the early part of the 1922 season in a game against the Tigers in Detroit.
 The Indians continued their win ming pace. beating the Browns in Cleveland to 2. Ty Cobb's Tigers walloped the White Sox to 2 in Detroit. Washington won from the Red Sox in Boston 3 to i.
 In the National league the Giants, with the aid of George Kellys homer with two runners on the paths in the seventh inning, blanked the Braves at the Polo Grounds to 0.
 Therefore, Cincinnati got no nearer to the leaders, despite 2-to-1 win over the Pirates in Pittsburg. The Cubs beat the Cards 3 to 2 at Chi cago.

LUIS FIRPO SHOWS LOT OF SPEED IN STARRING BOUTS

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. A. (By Associated Press LA little more speed, little more power in the punches and little less mercy on the sparring partners was noticeable today in the first of Luis Angel Ffrpo's heavy workouts for his battle with Jack Dempsey September 14. , The Argentine, still in 8 jovIa. mood, stepped seven rounds with his helpers and sent them all to the dressing room with chimes in their ears.
 Stocky Joe McCann was unusually lively He made Firpo dance a bit In their two rounds. Firpo slammed his right into McCann's ribs and had the big fellow putting at the end of the first round. In the second McCann was clipped on the Jaw with a left hook and as he fell inro a clinch with the crouching South American their heads met. Firpo suffered a slight cut in the corner or his right eye then sent left straight to McCann's mouth, bringing blood, and time was called. The cut was trivial.
 number of Firpo's Buenoas Aires friends and admirers who arrived in New York yesterday were at the training camp today. There are now more than a score of Argentine here. Meyer Sul, hotel owner, and Mayor Bader are planning banquet for Firpo and his friends the latter part of this week.
