PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Forty years is a short term in hui
man affairs. At that age men are
still counted young and few have
their best work. Yet could one go
back for that space of time and look
about the world he would find him
self in another era; for two score
years of electricity have transformed
materialci vilization as no period Of
like length ever did before, and in
externals 1882 bore far closer re-
semblance to 1912 than 1922 does to
1882.
Forty years ago was still the era
of steam and gas, before either had
been put on its mettle by the spring
ing into being of the double-func-
toned giant that challenged both.
Meanly lighted streets aided crime.
Few women ventured upon them at
ter nightfall, and in some districts OF
the large cities even muscular men
hesitated to go. In their homes the
people injured their eyes as they read
by open-fame gaslights, and in news
paper offices and other places Of
night work the toilers ruined theirs.
Chinese lanterns were the main re-
source for illumination on festive
occasions. In the factories and work

CONSERvATIONISTS, ATTENTION f.!

Somebody writes to one Of the
newspapers calling the worlds atten-
ton to the colossal waste Of energy
chewing gum. He took census OF
the number of persons in subway
train whose jaws were busy, presum-
ably on gum, and he figures that a
power greater than that of Niagara
goes to waste in America every day.
He does not suggest how this power
is to be harnessed for Industrial pur-
poses, but 1t is magnificent idea.
Like the rat hole in Abraham Lin
coins law office, 1t is worth looking
into. Scientists tell us that the mus
cles of the jaw are the strongest in
the structure of man.
When the gum chewers have all
their potential power turned to ben
efcial uses attention might be given
to the whistlers. Conserve all the
wind employed on whistling and you
will have the world by the tail and
down-hill pull.
And think Of all the power that
men put into cussing!
Edison, Marconi and other genuises
of our ever-expanding electrical IN
dustry have a fallow field here.
They can take these ideas and de-
velop them to the fullest. There is
no copyright on them and no claim

FUTURE FOREST GIANTS
SHOWS REFORESTATION WORK

Future Forest Giants" a new one
reel motion picture recently released
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, picturizes the extensive
activity Of the Forest Service in re-
forestation of great areas, particular
ly in the Western States, that have
been laid bare by forest fires or de-
structive logging operations.
The progress Of a tree from the
seed to the towering giant of the for
est is shown by sequence of scenes
made in and near the Savenac Nurs-
cry Of the Forest Service at Haugen,
Mont, the largest of the nurseries
operated by the Federal Government,
and where millions of seedlings are
grown every year. The Savenac Muir
sery is near the great 1910 burn"
scene Of one Of the greatest timber
CONGREGATIONS known since the white
man crossed the Great Plains, and
most Of the nursery's product goes
into this area. Planting of seed beds,
watering, protection from birds and
too much sun, transplanting, bund-
ling, and all the other operations nee
essary in producing the young trees
are shown, including the work Of the
planting crew" when 1t places the
seedlings in the ground, at a total
cost, including stock and planting, Of
1k cents each. The film ends with

to the $50 girls enrolled, came to see
the close of the contest. Many girls
and women who did not enroll had
used the standard recipes circulated
by the home demonstration agent. It
is estimated that at least 1900 people
were reached, as $500 copies of the
recipe for making bread were given
out. Two hundred and seventeen
contestants brought biscuits to the
county contest and IS schools held
the try-out contests. The first and
second prize winners of the county
won first and fourth prizes at the
state biscuit contest.
Similar contests were held in "a
other North Carolina counties and
were we'll received by county coun-
ellis and boards directing the use of
county funds.

BETTER BREAD CAMPAIGNS IN
25 NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES

Campaigns for better bread in ev-
extension workers in rs North Caro-
lima counties last year. A typical
campaign was conducted in Davidson
county, according to a report received
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The cooperation Of the
county commissioners was first ask
ed, and through them all demonstra-
tions and printing were financed.
Four trips to the state short course
for girls were offered as prizes, and
two trips to the state fair at Raw
leigh. N. c., by two business men and
four banks Of the county.
Demonstrations in bread and bis
cult making were held in 72 commun-
tiles in the county. Enrolment
cards were provided to pledge the
girls definitely to enter the better
bread contest, and to secure the at
tention of the mothers. Names and
addresses of all girls present at dem
were secured, whether
they enrolled or not. When the en-
rollment cards were returned each
girl entered was provided with re-
cord book in which results were to
be noted for six bakings. Many
wrote in these books, Mother says
my bread is better than hers" others
discovered why their biscuits were
not good.

wood not only for paper products but
also for fibre containers, wallboard,
and similar forms Of material. Wood
is already In use for the making OF
artificial silk, rope, carpets, and other
fabrics.
Because Of this great progress IN
the discovery Of new uses for wood,
the department declares 1t to be all
the more necessary to treat the coun-
try's forests as crop lands rather
than as timber mines with no thought
of replacement.

shops pOnderous steam engines roar
ed and pounded amid sitting heat
On the rivers and streams crude n.y.
draulic machinery utilized an infin-
itesimal fraction Of the power running
to waste. Horse-drawn cars dragged
slowly along the streets, and the ele-
waited railways of New York, driven
by small steam locomotives coupled
backward, were the wonder Of the
nation. The telephone was still a
novelty of which the ordinary citi-
zen's home was as innocent as 1t was
of all the electric labor-saving de-
vices that every progressive house,
wife boasts today.
So much for the past. The present
speaks for itself. :.
What will another forty years
bring? VIII 1862 show no further
advance over 1922 than 1882 showed
over 1922. Is electrical development
approaching its zenith, and will 1t
display henceforth only slow rate
of growth and be applied in few new
ways, if any?
No man imbued with the spirit Of
the electrical industry will believe So
We shall not indulge in specific
prophecy 1t would be rash to pre-
dict that some new discoverer is 60
ing to find way to convert electri-
cal energy into heat at cost which
will make the householder forever
independent Of mine owners and mine
workers. 1t might not be safe to
aver that before 1862 steam will sur
render its last Independent fortress,
already besieged, and transportation !
by rail will be universally electrified.
But if these things do not come,
others will. In the approaching |
days, when unwired buildings will be |
things of the past, humanity will be
aided in ever-increasing degree by |
the youngest and greatest of its In
visible servants. No other result Is
possible from the research, the en-
terprise and the industry of those TO
whom electricity is more than bust
ness, an art or even science-to
whom, indeed, it is hardly too much
% say 1t has become religion.
