back to wonder, for the cloths did not burn; they were asbestos, Mod ern use of asbestos dates from the development of Italian mines in the beautiful Alpine valleys of susa, ap- preached from France through the Mont Cenis tunnel, and the Aosta valley. One of its first important ap- plicatlons, packing for engines, still creates one of the princpal demands. Varieties Differ Widely.
 Italian asbestos occurs length wise of the vein, instead of in bundles, and Is of different mineral history. An asbestos from South Africa shows still different proper ties, so the term asbestos must there fore be regarded as. an inclusive term referring to a variety of min erals of chemical similarity, much as coal may be anthracite, bituminous or Ignite. Appropriately, the Greek father of our word asbestos means 'indestruCtible.'
 At Therlord Mines pit operation is the general practice, although there, are a few galleries. Any rock with veins running six per cent as- bestos is worth working and as the rocks are farily uniform in quality the pits go very deep. Standing on the edge of the deepest working one can see men like ants toling in the shadow $50 feet below. Following best mining practice blasting occurs at noon and at 5:S0 o'clock in the afternoon. The pit crew breaks the pieces into parts small enough for the crushers and loads them into baskets which rise skyward and dis appear over the edge of the cliff.
 Brake Bands a Major Use.
 Rock with fine veins goes to the crushers to be reduced to small bits. Rock with rich veins is cracked open by hand and the virgin asbestos gent Ita a big room where girls wield ham, nfers to break the asbestos into pliable fibrous mass. No mechanical means has been discovered to make this high grade asbestos which is used for brake bands, the largest present demand for asbestos, cloth, best packing, and insulating.
 The crushed serpentine rock and asbestos goes to a series of screens surmounted by suction tubes The tubes pneumatically remove the fibers and grade them. Poorer grades of asbestos are used for pa per, roofing, asbestos paint, and for weighting silk. They provide pipe coverings to conserve heat, soles and spats on shoes for men working on hot floors, and supply guards to pro- tect glass; blowers. The United States last year imported s7,ooo,ooo worth of raw asbestos.
 If the Constitution of the United States were written today, it would probably be inscribed on indestruct- ible asbestos paper. The world, however, Is still waiting for 8 fire proof ink"

HEAT REGULATION
NEED IN COOKING
Citizens Gas Company Helps
Solve Problem.

Cooking success depends upon main
tanning a certain heat for a definite
length Of time. Most cooking failures
result from undertaking or over
heating food or from subjecting it
to the heat of the oven for too long
a time or for too short a time.
The Citizens Gas Company is aid
ing housewives to achieve cooking
success through the use Of New
Process gas ranges that are equipped
with the Lorain oven heat regulators.
This stove is readily recognized by
a small red wheel, its rim notched
at figures engraved in the metal to
indicate temperatures from 225 to $50
degrees. This covers the entire range
of cooking heats. Forty-four different
temperatures can be maintained by
this oven heat regulator
The convenience of this ingenious
mechanical temperature regulator
can be appreciated by the housewise
who has experienced the annoyance
Of having to stand by the stove while
cooking or baking and make frequent
adjustment of the valves to maintain
an almost exact oven heat. With the
Lorain regulator working for the
housewife, she is spared this drudgery,
and she can be miles away from the
kitchen while dinner is cooking.

Home owners are constantly COM
ing to realize to a greater degree the
value of proper illumination in the
home. They are giving more thought
to the attractiveness and at the same
time to the utility of lighting fixtures
and methods of illumination.
To attack the problem Of lighting
a new house, or in rearranging the

expert in this line, like the Hatfield
Electric Company Of 102 S. Meridian

New lighting equipment in home
frequently alters, for the better, the
entire appearance Of every room. The
proper illumination Of each room in a
house is ar individual problem, and
expert knowledge Of lighting effects to
be desired and how to obtain them is
ESSENTIAL if the householder is to get
the greatest value out Of his invest
ment in lighting equipment.
The Hatfield Electric Company

needs Of each room in a house. The
avoidance Of annoying shadows in
the kitchen, the Frightening of the
laundry, the use Of proper lighting
in the bathroom to make shaving

nishings Is enhanced, and useful light
ing Is obtained at the same time.

In springtlme, when nature takes

cialty OF giving new beauty to the
homo interior by replacing the old

full difference in the appearance Of the
whole house.
The Patterson company, before the
spring housecleaning season begins. or
while the renovating process is on.
can prescribe the proper style and
color of window shade that will blend
with any decorative scheme.
