For the auto drivers who boast OF

The Old lamilar song, Nearer Say

look oyer the following Epitaphs fol
motorists:
Here rests the remains
OF Percival Sap;
lie drove his machine
With q girl in his lap.
Lies s!umbering here
Ono William Lake;
He heard the bell
But had no brake.
Beneath this stone
Sleeps William Raines;
Ice on the hill
He had no chains.
Here lies the body
OF William Jay
He died maintaining
His right of way.
At fifty miles
Drove Ollie Pidd;
He thought ne wouldn't

Here he sleeps,
One Johnny Fonker;
He rounded a turn
without a honker.

 Yes, for If the wire touches the Iron it will produce 'short circuit" blow the fuse, or do other damage.

Figure shows the same soapstone block in position on the sole of the iron and held by two metal uprights or "studs." See how close Is the contact between the Soapstone and the metal sole of the iron. This provides efficient transmission of heat from soapstone to sole.
 Figure shows the cover in place. Although it Is oyer the soapstone, 1t does not touch 1t for there is layer of air, in between, which prevents the radiation of the heat upward and sideways through the metal cover. This con- struction not only conserves the heat for use on the sole of the iron, but 1t protects the hand of the person, using the iron, against the heat stored in the soapstone.
 Two cup-shaped washers are placed on top of the cover, over the studs. In Figure the handle is being attached, two smalf hooks at the bottom engaging the holes in the cover. 1t Is then swung over until the holes in tho base of the handle pass over the studs.
 In Figure the two nuts that hold tho han dle to the top of the iron have been placed are being frightened. The iron Is now com plete and ready for use.
 Figure illustrates how the plug. attached by wire to the electric light socket. is connect ed with the iron SO that it may give electricity to the heating wires inside.
 Immediately after this connection is made, the iron should be placed on it's end, with the point up (Figure ?. No separate stand Is necessary, because the iron has it's own stand attached to it. This stand is SO constructed that it will not catch In the cloth that is being ironed. 1t Is extremely convenient, for 1t leaves the entire ironing board or table free.
 After about seven minutes of heating, the plug may be removed from the iron. The heat stored in the soapstone, during the seven minutes connection, is sufficient to last for from twelve to forty-fivc minutes of ironing, depending on the fabric, or upon the moisture sn the material that is being ironed.

My interest was aroused when 6 very h. genious inventor called my attention to the results he had achieved In the subject of eiee- trical heating, embodied specifically In an electric iron. He suggested that criticise the iron and, through my experience In design and construction of new products, make suages- dons for it's improvement.

What really takes place svhen
 cloth is ironed?

While every woman knows the results of ironing, very few women have ever thought just what happens to the cloth as the iron goes over 1t. will explain:, All fabric Is com- posed of a multitude of interwoven flores. These flores are very pliable, when moist, but quite stiff, when dry. Passing hot iron over the fabric first straightens these fbres. The heat of the iron then stiffens them. The rigid ity thus imparted by the iron makes the flores retain the position in which they were placed while moist.

SAVE YOUR BULBS

Many foreign bulbs will not be ob- tainable after another season. The United States government has put the lid on practically all importations Of bulbs, so that very shortly no bulbs can be brought in to the United States. The purpose of this embargo or quarantine is supposed to be~a precautionary measure to prevent the introduction in to this country of various diseases. This law may be influenced by the desire of the American government to build up a bulb industry in this country, and while some bulbs are now being produced in the United States. the shutting off of all importations is going to work serious hardship on the American gardener. The prices of practically all Towering bulbs will be elevated beyond the reach of all except the rich so it behooves everyone to take care of their bulbs. People ought to save their bulbs, anyway. There is no sense in letting. valuable hyacinth, tulips and narcfssus go to ruin through neglect and leave it to the French and Dutch to supply us every season.

same reason an electric iron needs a reservoir 50 that the heat may be stored up quickly and supplied gradually, as needed.
 If the material used to insulate the heated wire from the air and from the iron itself, can be placed in intimate contact with every part of the sole, and act as a reservoir for the heat at the same time, am sure you will agree that the combination would be ideal.
 What one substance can do
 these four things?
 Soapstone. For hundreds of years we have known that soapstone could be heated quickly and that it would store up the heat for rcla- lively long time. Being freproof, it Is not injured even when buried in live coals or em- bers. Generations have used soapstone for foot-warmers, bed d-warmers and the like; so we know 1t Is heat t-storing and fireproof. Mech anically strong and yet easy to tool, suitable for the fourfold service needed, soapstone Is the proper material for the ideal iron.
 HosV is soapstone used ip an
 electric iron?
 Figure shows the bottom and side view of . piece of soapstone, shaped, and ready for use in the only electric iron on the market that uses soapstone-The "Stahot."
 The channels, nodded in the bottom of the soapstone. contain the electric wires, thor oughly covered with eat-conducting, cleo tricai-insulating cement that will not crack, even when alternately heated and cooled. The ends of the wires arc connected with the two plugs projecting at an angle from the top of the block.
 In this construction, every bit of the surface of the heated wire is in contact with the ce- ment and soapstone-there are no pockets or layers of air through which the heat must force itself. When the plug is slipped on the pro- jecting connections the soapstone block be- comes heated very quickly.

HosU does electricity heat an iron?

We all know. by looking at an electric light bulb, that @ sufficient amount of electricity, sent through wire, will heat 1t. Unless the wire Is protected from the air, 1t soon burns out.
 Knowing this, 1t is obvious that the heating wire of an electric iron must be thoroughly embedded in come substance that will pre- vent the air from reaching it, and yet allow heat

The ge-Herald has pointed out before that the American farmer Is by no means secure in the economi- eel production of farm products. The latest United States government reports plainly state and go into de- tails of the large agricultural crops abroad. In short, Europe does net now need America to feed her, in consequence of which there is but lit- tie demand abroad for agricultural products.
 The American farmer, with an enormous surplus, produced at ex- travagant cost is simply up against 1t, with but little chance to sell ex- cept at below cost of production.
 We read that in many sections of Europe, the yield of wheat has aver aged 60 to 65 bushels to the acre, when the yield in America is around IS bushels. The whole trouble is that too many farmers. put all of their eggs in one basket. In short, depend on one single item as a money crop. Diversification has been preached for years by the press and all students of farm management and the farmer agrees to this doc , Urine, but he wont practice it.
 TRIM YOUR TREES
 The Age-Herald is called upon every day to furnish a lot of infor- nation about trimming trees and shrubbery. All trees and shrubbery may now be safely trimmed or pruned. It is quite impossible to give in any short article such in- Formation as would be specific.
 If one has any considerable work, it is ordinarily best to secure an ex- perienced man to do the job.
 The main factor is suitable tools and just plain, common sense. It is desirable to do the work before trees or plants are completely defoliated because then you can more readily see fror: observation just what ought to come cut. It ought to be under stood that any dead or deeaying branches on plant is a plain bur- den on the root system, carry dis- ease and is constant menace to the life of the plant. A few min utes' work on many valuable trees and shrubs will prolong their life in definitely. The trouble is that nearly everyone waits until the plant is so badly infested that it cannot be saved. Tree surgery is an impor- tant science.
